Chapter 10 Watching



"Who are you?"

As soon as Xia Xu woke up, he woke up his father. The burly father and son sat in bed and looked at Shu Shuang, looking confused, thinking they were still dreaming. But after knowing the details, Xia Xu laughed and patted Xia Xiao on the shoulder.

"Not bad! Not bad!"

"Brother, stop laughing at me."

"He was just envious. He didn't expect you to find a wife earlier than him."

"Father……"

Everyone was happy when this happened, except Xia Xiao. He glanced at Shu Shuang, who blushed to her ears when she heard the word "wife", but she also agreed.

"A Shuang, don't be polite in the future. Tell me if you have anything to say. If Xia Xiao dares to bully you, just tell me."

Shu Shuang smiled and nodded, but didn't say anything. Xia Xiao had no choice but to pull Shu Shuang and walk out quickly.

"I'm going to see Sister Su Huan off. I'm going out first. Mother and Second Sister will be back soon!"

Looking at their departing backs, Xia Xu murmured.

“They’re quite a good match, but the people around the Pope are not only strong, but also good-looking. I wish I could have one of them.

Xia Jinghong's face was full of disgust.

"Dream on!"

"Dad, what tricks did you use to get mom?"

"Shameless, loyal, and thoughtful."

When Xia Xu understood, Xia Jinghong was thinking about something else.

Since the old man is the Pope, helping Xia Xiao is enough to prove that his child is worthy of his help. Could it be that Xia Xiao really came from afar?

Xia Jinghong has been on the battlefield for a long time and is extremely perceptive. He feels that this matter is not simple and may be hiding something earth-shattering!

Xia Xiao outside the door let go of Shu Shuang's wrist, feeling a little embarrassed, but the latter didn't mind. She followed him obediently like a docile kitten.

"Well...my eldest brother is always careless, don't listen to his nonsense."

"It doesn't matter."

Shu Shuang was very happy because she lived for Xia Xiao, and this was the meaning of her life!

At the east gate of Longgang, a luxurious convoy was about to set off. The newly appointed Lord of Longgang City was here to send off the strong man, which attracted quite a few people.

For the people of Longgang City, the imperial capital called Zhenxun is as beautiful as heaven, prosperous and bustling. But for Xia Xiao, it is both heaven and hell, and a cold and ruthless Shura field!

Everything has its own etiquette. Su Huan was young and weak, so she was at the end of the team. Seeing Xia Xiao coming, she got off the carriage, attracting the people's enthusiastic gazes. There were few girls as pretty as this in this poor and remote place.

Su Huan was wearing a tight suit, and her short hair was neat and tidy, yet elegant.

"Is this the girl who left the church?"

Su Huan visited the Xia family yesterday, but Xia Xiao took Shu Shuang to his master's place, so he didn't see her.

"My name is Shu Shuang."

Xia Xiao knew that Su Huan would also ask this, but he didn't say anything. He just handed her the pastries prepared by his mother.

"They are all your favorites."

"I haven't tasted Auntie and Wan'er's cooking for a long time. I'll take it!"

"Be careful on your way back."

Su Huan usually smiled less than Xia Xiao, and at this moment he nodded slightly, signaling Xia Xiao to rest assured. With so many strong men around, who would dare to attack?

"Is Uncle Jinghong awake?"

"Just woke up. If their injuries hadn't fully healed, they would have come to see you off as well."

"It doesn't matter this time. We'll meet in the imperial capital next year."

Xia Xiao nodded and watched Su Huan get into the car.

The car window opened and Shu Shuang added.

"We can't let the Xia family's deaths be in vain!"

Xia Xiao knew that he had always carried the lives of the hundreds of guards and maids of the Xia family on his shoulders. Even though the sky was clear today, his mood was the same as before.

The horses pulling the carts were domesticated wild beasts that moved extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, the caravan disappeared into the distance as small as a green bean.

It was a year since we last met, and another year after we met again. It was raining heavily that day, and Su Huan held an umbrella for himself. Afterwards, Su Huan's father pleaded for the Xia family in front of the officials of the dynasty, and one day he would repay the Su family. Good people must be rewarded!

Xia Xiao stood for a long time, and Shu Shuang waited behind him. She pouted slightly and looked at the small mole behind Xia Xiao's ear. She's gone so far, why are you still looking at her? She's just a little older than me. I'm sure I'll have a better figure and be prettier than her in the future...

"Go prepare your things, we should set off tomorrow."

"Okay."

This trip is dangerous. We have to go look for the elixir tomorrow, so we have to be well prepared today.

First he went to the weapons shop, where Xia Xiao looked over and over again at the custom-made bayonet.

This bayonet is one foot long, three-edged and spiral, with a sharp blade with a barb. The cold glow on it makes Xia Xiao quite satisfied.

The blacksmith muttered as he weighed the copper coin in his hand.

"Brother, you've made a fortune this time. This bayonet is not easy to make. I wasted a lot of iron."

Xia Xiao didn't have much money, so the agreed-upon price was what he paid. He didn't want to hear more from the blacksmith, so he turned and left. Shu Shuang glanced at the knife, a little curious.

"I've been to so many places, but this is the first time I've seen this kind of knife."

"No matter if it's a human or a wild beast, with just one cut, the blood will flow non-stop."

"You were really powerful in your previous life. You even knew about weapons. Were you a military? strategist?"

Xia Xiao couldn't help laughing as he put away his knife, while Shu Shuang, who was full of admiration, had a flash of surprise on her face.

“You laughed!”

In fact, Xia Xiao had forgotten when he last laughed, but he still pretended to be stubborn.

"It's not a surprise."

"Then tell me about your past life!"

Shu Shuang knew that the people who came from afar did not originally belong to this world, but came from a faraway place. But like many people, Shu Shuang was curious about what the outside world was like.

It has been a long time since I thought about the past. Xia Xiao glanced at the sky carelessly. In the blink of an eye, four years have passed. There is no way back to the world before, and there is no need to go back.

After a long time, Xia Xiao shook his head. He didn't want to talk about his past life.

If he didn't mention it, Shu Shuang wouldn't ask. She would always stand quietly beside Xia Xiao, like a tree that shielded him from the wind and rain.

I bought frostbite cream and hemostatic powder, went home to prepare some thick clothes, and some other small things. I am ready and will set off early tomorrow morning!

But this journey will not be easy after all.

Zhu Heng and several generals led their troops, following the distant convoy in front of them, and headed towards the imperial capital. Although the Zou Shou Church had left Longgang City, as long as they had not announced the news of leaving the Great Xia Dynasty, Nan Shang would not dare to attack! This is the rule!

Riding a horse, Zhu Heng stood in a remote place, his arms raised to the sky, catching a carrier pigeon.

There was a small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg, and inside the paper was written: Xia Xiao will definitely be killed!

Upon seeing this, Zhu Heng crushed the pigeon to death and grinned sinisterly.

Zhu Zai was killed by Xia Xiao, and Zhu Da failed to kill him, and he couldn't do it himself. But there are always people who can help you. Money can make the devil work, and it can make people work for you!

Xia Xiao certainly could not have imagined that no matter how cautious he was, the waiter at the post station still heard where Xia Xiao was going.

Although Xuelong Road Crossing is outside Longgang City and is now the territory of Nan Shang, Zhu Heng has bribed Nan Shang's people. Xia Xiao, you're dead!

"Xia Xiao, the Snow Dragon Crossing is where you will be buried!"

Zhu Heng threw the pigeon on the ground, his face gradually becoming ferocious. He would not allow anyone to threaten him. This position was his, and the position of general would also be his in the future! He wanted to pull himself down, what a joke! No matter what you say, you came from afar, it's just a fairy tale!
