Chapter 403 You won’t betray me, right?
After Meng Pei finished speaking, he bowed deeply as if his waist was broken, and he looked as if he wanted to hit the ground with his head on the spot.
Sang Zhixia struggled to suppress her laughter: "Oh, this scene really makes me feel a little embarrassed."
Meng Pei knew that his impulsiveness had made him a laughing stock, so he blushed, shrank his neck, and said nothing.
Chen Anzhu suppressed his anxiety under Sang Zhixia's playful gaze and blamed himself, "It was because I didn't explain it clearly to him that there was a misunderstanding. Fortunately, it didn't cause a bigger disaster."
Sang Zhixia covered her mouth with her hand and coughed, then said knowingly, "It's okay, I'm not angry."
Chen Anzhu breathed a sigh of relief, his words unconsciously hinting at worry: "This idiot has a pig's head and no brains at all. Any offense is his fault. You can accept the beating and punishment as you wish, and we won't argue with you."
Sang Zhixia was just about to let the beating go, after all, the incident had already happened and they had even entered the bandits' lair together, so it would be pointless to settle the score now.
Who knew that before he could finish his words, he heard Shen Anzhu say, "If you don't mind, how about giving him the antidote first?"
Sang Zhixia was a little dazed by the word "antidote". A picture flashed through her mind, and she inevitably felt a little embarrassed.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Shen Anzhu's eyes became even redder with anxiety.
"Since I was in the wrong first, the Sang family can punish me however they want, but..."
"But I don't have the antidote."
Sang Zhixia shrugged helplessly at Shen Anzhu's astonished gaze, saying with a mixture of laughter and tears, "It's something made out of nothing. Where can I go to conjure one up for you on the spot?"
This time, not only Shen Anzhu was stunned, but even Meng Pei's face was full of disbelief.
Meng Pei subconsciously turned to look at Chen Anzhu, and eager to prove his innocence, he opened his mouth and said, "Didn't you make me eat some kind of poison when I escaped that day?"
“I really ate it!”
"If you give it to me..."
"I know you ate it."
Sang Zhixia spread her hands and said with a smile, "In fact, if you didn't eat, I wouldn't let you go."
"By the way, I forgot to ask you, are the ginseng pills delicious?"
The words "Ginseng Pills" kept echoing in Meng Pei's ears, and his expression was completely dull.
Shen Anzhu was first surprised and then found it funny. He swallowed hard and asked tentatively, "Ginseng pills?"
"He eats..."
"It's a ginseng pill to replenish qi and blood."
Sang Zhixia patiently explained the effects of the pill, and then sighed at the end: "I didn't have anything else on hand at the time, so I gave you one of mine."
"Those are all fine things carefully prepared by a master, but you can't taste them at all?"
Meng Pei's already rosy face instantly became even more colorful, and the worry on Shen Anzhu's face gradually turned into something indescribable.
"Meng Pei, do you have a pig brain?"
Meng Pei was scolded so much that he dared not talk back. His face was filled with unspeakable grievance. He stiffened his neck and snorted, "I ate it in such a hurry. How could I know what it tasted like? I..."
"Just shut up, please."
Chen Anzhusheng blocked Meng Pei's embarrassing mouth helplessly, then looked at Sang Zhixia with a face full of shame: "I'm so sorry, he..."
"I will keep an eye on him and not cause you any trouble in the future."
Sang Zhixia pinched her palms tightly to prevent herself from laughing out loud, and nodded with a serious expression: "That's good."
"By the way, you are leaving tonight. Do you know about this?"
Shen Anzhu hummed: "Master Zhao told me that I will be on time."
The hope of realizing the long-cherished wish is right before our eyes. Anyone can be reluctant, but Shen Anzhu is the only one who cannot delay.
Sang Zhixia smiled knowingly, then turned her gaze to the nervous Meng Pei, and said playfully, "The journey to Kyoto is long and arduous. Are you going alone, or..."
"I'll go with her!"
Before Chen Anzhu could reply, Meng Pei shouted anxiously, "I'll follow you wherever you go. We agreed to never..."
"Mmmmm!"
Shen Anzhu stuffed a handkerchief into Meng Pei's mouth. His face flushed involuntarily at the moment his ears were quiet, and he couldn't speak clearly: "This idiot is a brainless person. If no one is watching, who knows what kind of trouble he will cause."
"Everyone from Qingcheng Mountain has already been resettled down the mountain in batches. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to leave him alone in Kyoto. I plan to take him with me. Is that okay?"
Meng Pei, who was extremely anxious, was no longer anxious after hearing this. He bit the handkerchief that was gagging his mouth contentedly. Sang Zhixia even felt as if she saw a big tail sweeping the floor crazily.
It turns out that for a wolf that hurts people to turn into a big dog, all it needs to do is release a Shen Anzhu?
Just no brains?
I'm afraid this is not entirely true.
How could a person who could become the second leader of Huwei Mountain and even successfully lead his people to defect from the village be stupid?
Sang Zhixia lowered her eyes, put away the teasing, and said with a smile, "Of course."
"Pack your belongings. Someone will come to call you when the time comes."
Chen Anzhu got the answer he wanted and finally put down the huge stone in his heart. He pressed Meng Pei and apologized to Sang Zhixia again. After watching Sang Zhixia leave, he pinched Meng Pei's arm, unable to bear it any longer.
"Next time you do something, can't you use your brain a little?!"
"Do you know what would have happened if what you were given wasn't ginseng pills but real poison?!"
"If someone really wants to kill you, you'll really die, you know?!"
Meng Pei was pinched so hard that he kept gnashing his teeth and gasping for air. He said with a bitter face, "Didn't you say I'm brainless?"
Shen Anzhu was furious: "I just said that, and you really won't grow any taller?!"
"You're so smart, I've been following you forever and never had a chance to use my brain..."
Meng Pei was feeling guilty but still had a straight face. He rubbed his arm, which was pinched so hard that it hurt, and muttered, "Why don't you just keep me with you all the time?"
"You've already taken care of all the brain stuff, why should I bother growing that thing?"
"you……"
"I can't explain it to you, stupid idiot!"
Chen Anzhu kicked Meng Pei in frustration and walked away.
Meng Pei cheerfully followed him and chattered, "I heard that the wind and sand in Kyoto are very strong, and the weather is different from here. Do you think I should prepare some thicker clothes?"
"Also, we don't have any money. Did anyone really cover our travel expenses? Did they just provide food and lodging, or some pocket money?"
"Do you care about those who eat too much? What if they don't like my eating too much and don't want to pay?"
Meng Pei stuck to him like a chatterbox of eighty, and every word she said was more shocking than the last.
Shen Anzhu couldn't help it any longer, and dragged the person away as if escaping to the guest room where he was staying temporarily: "Don't embarrass yourself..."
"Meng Pei, that's enough!"
He pulled the two people who were arguing away together.
Sang Zhixia happened to hear everything from the corner of the corridor. She laughed and held her forehead with her hand. She said to Ling Chu behind her, "Go prepare three purses, each with 100 taels of silver, and send them to Lord Zhao and Shen Anzhu and the others."
"Also, remember to tell the people who are sending them back that they can be generous with their food and drinks along the way, regardless of the amount of money, and don't let those who eat a lot go hungry."
Ling Chu nodded in agreement. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Sang Zhixia add softly, "Do I have any extra pills?"
Ling Chu was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said, "Yes."
"Mr. Hu was worried that you might feel unwell during your trip, so he specially prepared a few extra bottles."
They are all good things for nourishing the body and replenishing qi and blood, but it's a pity that good medicine is destined to taste bitter, and that stuff is really unpalatable.
Sang Zhixia tutted her tongue with a look of resentment, and raised her chin towards the direction where Meng Pei and Shen Anzhu were walking away. "Find a whole bottle and send it over with the money. Just say it's extra. If you're worried, you can eat a few more, so Meng Pei doesn't say he can't taste it."
At first glance, this sounds correct.
But Lingchu paused and began to hesitate: "Boss, that was given to you by Mr. Hu, and he also said..."
"say what?"
Sang Zhixia said frankly, "I can't finish it. What's wrong with giving some away for others to taste?"
"Can……"
"Lingchu."
Sang Zhixia interrupted Lingchu and said with a smile: "Don't forget that when your leader said he wanted to whip you, it was me who spoke up for him."
Ling Chu: “…”
Sang Zhixia: "Your young master also said that you must obey me in everything."
Ling Chu: “…”
Seeing Lingchu was silent, Sang Zhixia smiled with satisfaction: "That's it, you won't betray me, right?"
