Chapter 695: A Great Plan (Part 2)



The man's palm was blocked, but he did not stop immediately. In fact, his palm was just a feint. His real purpose was to rescue the hostage in Su Xiaoxiao's hands.

His other hand had already grasped the blade and cut off the whip that trapped the girl.

Then he slashed at Su Xiaoxiao's neck.

Wei Ting blocked his wrist.

He pulled the girl over with his other hand, used his lightness skills, and left with the girl.

Even after everyone had walked away, the girl's unwilling roar could still be heard: "I'm going to kill her! I'm going to kill her!"

Everyone felt a little unsatisfied, and wanted to see more of the battle between the masters.

Unfortunately, the person had already left, and everyone had no choice but to disperse.

Wei Ting took the half whip from her hand and threw it away: "Are you not hurt?"

"No. The palm of that person just now was poisonous." Su Xiaoxiao smelled it.

After becoming pregnant, her sense of smell became much more sensitive than before.

"You didn't touch his hand?"

Wei Ting said: "No."

Before setting off, the old marquis had warned him that people from southern Xinjiang were good at using poisons and witchcraft, so he must be careful when fighting with them.

He took out a handkerchief and wiped the scabbard: "Let's go."

The two of them entered Jinxiu Cloth Shop.

The innkeeper did not lie to them. Jinxiu Cloth Shop was indeed a small cloth shop with slow business. A quick glance at the fabrics showed that there were few varieties and the quality was not very good.

Apart from the two of them, there was no other customer in the cloth shop.

The shopkeeper seemed to be completely unconcerned about the lack of business. He did not entertain any customers and just sat there bored, resting his head on his hands and tapping away on the abacus on the counter.

A waiter came forward and asked with a smile: "What kind of material would you two like to see?"

"I don't look at the material." Su Xiaoxiao said.

The guy was stunned.

Su Xiaoxiao came to the counter.

The light above the shopkeeper's head dimmed, and he didn't even raise his eyelids: "We only sell materials, not shoes or ready-made clothes."

Su Xiaoxiao took out the jade ring and placed it on his abacus.

The shopkeeper paused tapping the abacus and immediately looked up at Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting beside her.

His eyes told Su Xiaoxiao that he had come to the right place.

"Secret code!" the shopkeeper whispered.

Su Xiaoxiao looked confused: "There is no code."

Could it be that Su Li forgot to say it?

The shopkeeper patted his chest and said, "That's right, there is no secret code."

Su Xiaoxiao: “…”

The shopkeeper asked again, "Excuse me, is the treasure bag here?"

"Here." Su Xiaoxiao took out the brocade bag and the note inside.

After the shopkeeper took it, he found a dagger, cut open the brocade bag, and pulled out a golden thread from the interlayer.

"It's the boss's secret!"

Su Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched. There was actually a secret hidden in the brocade bag. Why didn't Su Xuan know about it? What if she threw the brocade bag away? Su Li must have let it slip! This old fifth!

The shopkeeper confirmed Su Xiaoxiao's identity and his attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn.

"I'll have someone sew the brocade bag together, and make sure it's exactly the same as it was before it was opened!"

Su Xiaoxiao: Not really.

Wei Ting corrected sternly: "She is my wife."

The shopkeeper was stunned.

Su Xiaoxiao has a tender, round face. Although she has lost weight, she has a little fat on her cheeks. It's no wonder that the shopkeeper made a mistake in judging her.

He said awkwardly, "Ah, yes, sir, madam, please go upstairs."

The two followed him to the accounting office on the second floor.

He made tea for the two of them, which turned out to be Longjing tea from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It seems that this place is indeed closely related to the Great Zhou.

Wei Ting brought Su Xiaoxiao's tea in front of him and said to the shopkeeper, "Please pour a cup of warm water."

The shopkeeper is an experienced person and cannot drink tea. Could it be that -

The shopkeeper didn't ask any questions and poured warm water respectfully.

He sat down opposite the two of them and said with a smile, "My surname is Zheng, and my given name is Hai. You and Madam can just call me Old Zheng."

Su Xiaoxiao took a sip of the warm water and said, "I want to ask someone who asked me to find you..."

Zheng Hai understood what she wanted to ask, smiled, and said frankly: "Ah, it's our boss."

Su Xiaoxiao looked around and asked, "Is your boss's shop... so deserted?"

With Su Xuan's financial resources, he could afford to buy some high-quality fabrics.

A trace of admiration flashed in Zheng Hai's eyes. "This is exactly the boss's cleverness. To put it bluntly, we are in Southern Xinjiang to collect information for the boss. If the shop's business is too good, it will be easy for others to target it."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and learned it.

Zheng Hai asked, "Does the boss have anything else for you two?"

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and took off the bracelet on her wrist: "This."

She didn't mention the third lucky bag for the time being, because it could only be opened in the royal capital, and it should have nothing to do with Phoenix Town.

Zheng Hai took the bracelet with both hands and examined it carefully for a while: "I see."

He took a clean handkerchief, wiped the place he had touched, and returned it to Su Xiaoxiao on the handkerchief.

"So that's what it is?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Zheng Hai asked with a smile: "Are you going to the capital of Southern Xinjiang? This bracelet can only be used for this purpose."

Su Xiaoxiao put the bracelet back on her wrist: "Does this bracelet have anything to do with going to the King of Southern Xinjiang?"

Zheng Hai didn't rush to answer her question, but asked: "You just came to Southern Xinjiang, do you think it's easy to pass through the customs?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded slightly: "Yes, even official documents can be filled out for you."

Zheng Hai smiled and said, "It's not difficult to enter the border of Southern Xinjiang, but not everyone can go to the capital of Southern Xinjiang. It's not convenient to reveal your identities. Do you know who fought with you on the street just now?"

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "The younger sister of the Saint of Southern Xinjiang?"

Zheng Hai looked at the two of them in surprise: "You knew?"

Wei Ting drank tea silently, willingly serving as a background board.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Zheng Hai and said, "I wasn't sure whether it was true or not before, but now I am sure. However, this is all I know."

Zheng Hai said: "She is indeed the biological sister of the Southern Xinjiang Saint, and the second daughter of the Cheng family... Let me tell you about the situation in Southern Xinjiang. In Southern Xinjiang, the Southern Xinjiang royal family is at the top of the power, followed by the Saint's Palace, and then the four major families and eight major tribes. The Cheng family I mentioned just now is one of the four major families, and it has the support of two major tribes. The new identity arranged by the Dong family for the young lady is the daughter of the Cheng family."

"Huh?" Su Xiaoxiao blinked, "Why did you assign me a new identity?"

Zheng Hai hurriedly explained: "The situation in the capital of Southern Xinjiang is different from that in the Great Zhou, Northern Yan, Western Jin, and Wei... If outsiders do not have sufficient background, they will have difficulty in making progress in the capital of Southern Xinjiang."

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin and said, "If I become the daughter of the Cheng family, then I will become sisters with the Saint of Southern Border and that girl just now?"
