After a night's rest, Jiang Jingyu felt much better. After saying goodbye to the old woman and the old man, the two of them set out on their journey again.
"A Si, where is the purple pearl grass you are looking for in Fengdu?"
Since Tan Tai Si came for the purple bead grass, Jiang Jingyu thought of going to Fengdu to get the purple bead grass first. Since they didn't have a place to stay in Fengdu, it wouldn't be too late to go to Honghu Temple for the night.
"The Purple Pearl Grass is not in Fengdu, but in the hands of Feng Sanniang."
"Feng Sanniang?" Jiang Jingyu was startled. "Are you sure the Purple Pearl Grass is in Feng Sanniang's hands?"
Tan Tai Si nodded and said, "My people have been secretly tracking down the whereabouts of the Purple Pearl Grass for a long time, and finally found out that it is in Feng Sanniang's hands."
Jiang Jingyu's face was solemn. "Feng Sanniang has always been very stingy. It will take some effort to get the Purple Pearl Grass from her. How do you plan to get it, Ah Si?"
Tan Tai Si pursed his lips and said, "Just tell her how much money she wants."
He knew how precious the Purple Bead Grass was, so naturally he wouldn't think of taking it for free. As long as he could get the Purple Bead Grass, he would be willing to pay any amount of silver in exchange for it.
"A Si, you don't know that Feng Sanniang was originally a master thief who amassed all the wealth in the world. Now she's probably so poor that she only has silver left. I'm afraid that spending a large sum of money to exchange the purple pearl grass with her won't work."
Tan Tai Si was very surprised that Feng Sanniang was a master thief.
Ever since he learned that Purple Bead Grass could detoxify his mother, he has been sending people to secretly inquire about the whereabouts of Purple Bead Grass.
After finding out that the purple bead grass was in Feng Sanniang's hands, he went straight to the Central Plains, but he didn't know much about Feng Sanniang.
I didn't expect that she was actually a thief.
Feng Sanniang was already wealthy, so spending a large sum of money to exchange the purple bead grass with her would not work. Stealing the purple bead grass from the thief would be harder than climbing to the sky.
Tan Tai Si narrowed his eyes, his gaze dark and unclear: "Since neither the open nor the covert methods work, there is only one way left."
"Hard-handed."
Jiang Jingyu and Tan Tai Si said in unison, obviously having guessed what he was thinking.
Tan Tai Si turned his head and looked at Jiang Jingyu: "Sister still understands me."
Jiang Jingyu curled her lips and said, "Don't worry, Ah Si, whether it's an open fight or a secret fight, I will help you."
Tan Tai Si subconsciously looked down at himself.
Does he look weak?
Thinking of how embarrassed he was when they first met, Tan Tai Si touched his nose. He was indeed quite weak.
He has to find an opportunity to prove his strength to his sister. He is not as weak as he was the night they first met. He can protect his sister.
Tan Tai Si thought so.
But the two of them traveled for several days and the road was calm, giving him no chance to show off.
Tan Tai Si was distressed.
Finally, when they were about to reach Fengdu, they encountered a group of bandits blocking their way.
"The one in front, you choose money or your life!"
The one-eyed man carried a big knife on his shoulder and looked at Jiang Jingyu and Tan Tai Si who were walking towards him with arrogance, not taking them seriously at all.
"Third brother, you're wrong! Only children make choices. Their money and lives are on the line today!"
The pockmarked man next to the one-eyed dragon chuckled and looked at Jiang Jingyu and Tan Tai Si, who were dressed as men, with ill intentions.
The one-eyed dragon glanced at the pockmarked face and said, "What? Are you greedy again?"
"Hehehe, Third Brother really understands me. I haven't tasted such a delicate delicacy before!"
The pockmarked man slurred as he spoke, swallowing his saliva continuously, his eyes darting between Tan Tai Si and Jiang Jingyu.
"Look at you, you're such a loser! Alright, stop drooling. I'll take the money, and the girl is yours!"
"Er Mazi, take it easy, these two are so delicate, don't play them to death!"
"That's right, this kind of top-quality stuff can fetch a lot of money if sold to Wanhua Tower!"
The one-eyed dragon and his brothers all knew that the pockmarked man had a thing for Long Yang, and when they saw the greedy look on his face, they laughed and joked.
When Tan Tai Si and Jiang Jingyu came in front of them, Er Mazi could no longer hold back and rode his horse towards them with a grin.
"Where are you two going, young masters? Why don't you come to our village to rest and let me treat you two well!"
Tan Tai Si narrowed his eyes and said, "Sister, wait a minute. Leave these little bastards to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tan Tai Si's body suddenly flew out, stepped on the head of the horse that Er Mazi was riding, and looked down at him condescendingly.
"Entertain us?"
"Yes, that's right! I will definitely treat you well!"
Ermazi looked up at him, nodded excitedly, and deliberately emphasized the word "good".
Tan Tai Si gave a bloodthirsty smile: "Is that so?"
He put his toes on Ermazi's chest: "I want to test whether you are qualified."
Looking at the foot against his chest, Ermazi's hair stood up with excitement, and he was about to grab Tan Tai Si's foot.
Bang!
With a loud bang, Ermazi flew out and hit the thick tree trunk hard!
The others were shocked and drew their swords!
The one-eyed dragon's hands creaked. "If you dare to touch the people of Hutou Village, I think you don't want to live anymore! Brothers, attack!"
They had just taken two steps forward when a red whip suddenly attacked. Before anyone could react, the whip hit them hard, causing them to fall to the ground crying out in pain!
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen bandits fell to the ground. Tan Tai Si curled his lips and said, "Boring."
He withdrew his whip and flew back onto his horse.
"Sister, let's go."
Jiang Jingyu handed him a handkerchief: "Here, wipe it."
Tan Tai Si glanced at the blood stains on the whip, took the handkerchief and wiped it, then stuffed the blood stains into his arms, holding it close to his chest through his inner garments.
The two of them didn't take this little episode seriously. As soon as they left, a figure came out from behind the tree.
"Hey, I finally caught up with you!"
A man on horseback caught up and stopped beside the man.
"Look at you, you have a good horse to ride, but you insist on using Qinggong!"
The man was muttering and complaining, but when he turned around he found that the person next to him was staring at the front with great interest.
He looked at the staggering bandits in front of him and ignored them as if they were nothing: "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing, I just saw a whip and itched to do it."
"You, you, you, didn't you retire a long time ago?!"
