Chapter 332 It’s so unlucky to be liked by him!

"Master, we will arrive in Penang soon." The guard said outside the carriage.

Penang...

Xie Zhuoning recalled the approximate location of Penang. Now they were getting farther and farther away from the capital, but getting closer and closer to Xichu.

If we continue on this path, we will reach the border between the two countries in another five or six days.

No, I have to find a way to delay the time.

She lifted the car curtain and looked outside. It was almost Chinese New Year, and the streets were lit with red lanterns, making it bustling everywhere.

She suddenly thought, "Ye Wuque, let's go shopping. We've been traveling for such a long time, and I'm almost vomiting from sitting in the carriage."

Ye Wuque raised his lips and smiled warmly, "Okay."

Xie Zhuoning was still wondering, when did this guy become so easy to talk to?

Then he spoke slowly, "How about this, no matter what competition it is, if you win a round against me, I will grant you what you want. How about that?"

Xie Zhuoning raised his eyebrows, "What kind of competition?"

Ye Wuque said, "No matter what kind of competition it is."

Stroking his chin, Xie Zhuoning began to think.

The fact that he said this with confidence proved that he was sure that no matter what I did, I could not defeat him.

There is no way I can win a duel. With my limited kung fu, I am no match for him in either martial arts or riding.

As for literature, he was even worse. Ye Wuque was quite proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his reputation was so great that it even spread to Daye.

Thus, only by taking things by surprise can one achieve victory.

After thinking for a long time, she said, "Then let's just compete in one thing, size. Whoever is bigger wins. How about that?"

"Can."

Thinking that she wanted to play dice with him, Ye Wuque readily agreed.

Xie Zhuoning raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Okay, I want to compare who has the bigger breasts."

Since the goal was to surprise the enemy, I naturally had to pick something that I had and Ye Wuque didn't.

“…”

At this moment, the perfect silence of the night was deafening.

After a while, he laughed out loud, "Forget it, you've been forced to use even this trick, it shows that you're really depressed."

After saying this, he immediately instructed Thirteen to find a place to stay after entering the city.

They will stay in Penang tonight and will not leave.

Penang is considered a transportation hub in Daye, and as such, it is a prosperous place where merchants from all over the country gather.

After Xie Zhuoning got off the carriage, he was like a fish in water, wanting to buy this and eat that.

Seeing that she was so happy, Ye Wuque agreed to all her requests and ordered someone to buy them for her.

Not long after, all the guards following behind were sent away.

Xie Zhuoning observed the place inconspicuously, his eyes fixed on a garment workshop.

She suddenly said, "I want to buy some new clothes."

Ye Wuque was a little confused, "Why? You don't like what I gave you?"

"Yeah, neither of them is my style."

"But those are all made according to the styles you have worn."

Xie Zhuoning paused, "...Preferences change over time. I don't like that style anymore and want to change to another style. Is that not okay?"

"Okay, then tell me what style you like and I'll have someone make it for you."

Ye Wuque raised the corners of his lips with a half-smile, as if he knew all about her little thoughts.

Xie Zhuoning opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

At this moment, the shopkeeper of the clothing shop saw the two of them standing at the door and immediately came out to greet them enthusiastically.

"My dear guests, is there anything you would like to buy?"

“No need.”

Ye Wuque was about to leave, but the shopkeeper saw that they were both very well dressed and was afraid of losing two distinguished guests, so he tried to stop him.

"Hey, sir, please don't leave. Look at your wife, she's so pretty and she matches you so well. If she wears our couple outfits, then they'll be a match made in heaven!"

No one knew which word moved Ye Wuque, but he actually stopped.

Xie Zhuoning stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

He put his fist to his lips and said thoughtfully, "I suddenly think it wouldn't hurt to buy two new clothes."

"ha?"

Why does this person always think one thing after another?

As soon as he entered, Ye Wuque said, "Take out your, ahem, couple outfits and let me see them."

The shopkeeper immediately asked someone to bring out some clothes.

"Look, sir. These are the best-selling items in our store. The first set of men's clothing is decorated with a zither pattern, while the women's clothing is decorated with a se pattern, which symbolizes the harmony of the zither and the se."

"The second style uses intertwined branches as the background, and the embroidered lovebirds are lifelike, implying that we wish to be lovebirds in the sky and intertwined branches on the ground."

"There is also this one, with pomegranate flowers as the background color, which symbolizes fertility and happiness..."

The more Ye Wuque listened, the higher his eyebrows raised. Without even asking the price, he waved his hand and said, "Well, they are all pretty good. Let's get one of each."

When the shopkeeper saw that it was a big customer, he happily asked someone to pack the clothes.

Xie Zhuoning suddenly stopped them, "Wait!"

"Why?" Ye Wuque narrowed his eyes, "You don't want to wear it with me?"

He just short of having the word "threat" written on his face. Who would dare to say no at this moment?

Xie Zhuoning's throat twitched, and he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, "No, I was thinking, shouldn't I try it on first? If there's anything that doesn't fit, I can ask the shopkeeper to make some changes, right?"

"Well, that makes sense."

After listening to her explanation, Ye Wuque nodded and asked the shopkeeper to give her the selected clothes.

Xie Zhuoning entered the dressing room and quickly looked outside through the window.

There is a yard at the back with a door that should lead directly to the street outside.

At this moment, all of Ye Wuque's men had been sent away, leaving him alone outside.

If I could successfully leave the yard through the back door and blend into the crowd, the chances of them finding me would be much smaller.

I just don't know what kind of medicine Ye Wuque gave himself, and how long he can last after escaping.

As her mind was racing, looking for an opportunity, a woman's voice suddenly rang out from the door.

"Ma'am, your husband asked me to bring you some more clothes so you can pick out some that you like."

Xie Zhuoning wanted to refuse, but when he heard her voice trembling slightly and crying, he was puzzled for a moment, "Come in."

The woman walked in holding her clothes, her face pale and her whole body shaking uncontrollably.

Xie Zhuoning saw her expression and frowned, "What's wrong with you?"

She swallowed her saliva, her eyes full of fear, "Your husband, your husband asked me to take good care of the lady. If the lady disappears, let our whole family be buried with you!"

They are both ordinary people, how could they have seen such a battle?

When the soft sword is unsheathed, it can kill or give life with a smile.

Hearing this, Xie Zhuoning was not surprised at all.

Ever since Ye Wuque killed all the innkeepers and merchants and laid out their heads in a row for her to see, she knew not to try to provoke a madman.

This unscrupulous guy can really do anything!

The escape plan she had been planning for a long time came to nothing. She sighed softly, changed her clothes, and walked out.

Ye Wuque looked up at her, his eyes bright with surprise, "Not bad, very pretty. Madam is a beauty, and I like her more and more."

Xie Zhuoning couldn't help but grit his teeth when he heard this.

It's such bad luck to be liked by him!
