Standing on the mountain road out of Wangyue Valley, looking back at the ruined villa in the valley and the busy people inside and outside the villa, I never thought that the group at Shuiyue Villa would experience so much and waste so much time.
This will be the result.
Xia Shang looked at it without much reluctance. He just hoped that this foreign land could be restored to its original state as soon as possible.
"Mr. Xia, you are truly a hero."
The young and beautiful female disciple next to her looked at Xia Shang with adoration in her eyes and said.
Another female disciple also kept saying: "That's right, you are the first person who dares to talk to Madam like this."
Compared with Yue Haitang's previous indifference, the two female disciples responsible for escorting her seemed much more enthusiastic.
Xia Shang smiled at them and did not answer. Instead, he continued to look in the direction of the villa and frowned: "What is your fierce senior sister doing? She hasn't come back yet."
Before leaving, Yueru was called back by Yue Haitang, saying that she had something else to ask, and Xia Shang and others were waiting not far outside the villa.
After waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, Yueru rushed back with a waist badge in her hand.
Yueru's attitude towards Xia Shang was not good, mainly because she just saw Xia Shang's unreasonable treatment of Yue Haitang, so she kept a cold face and directly threw her belt to Xia Shang.
"For you."
From afar, Xia Shang felt that this badge was somewhat familiar, somewhat similar to that of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
But he has taken back his first waist card from his ancestor, and he also has the No. 1 horse head waist card, so what is this waist card?
Xia Shang took it and took a look, and his expression changed. This was really a badge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it was Snake No. 1, the first token of the Spring Textile Department!
This was not an ordinary thing. Xia Shang quickly put away his belt and tried not to show too much emotion on his face.
Judging from Yueru's attitude, it is obvious that she does not know the key to this object, but where did Yue Haitang get this object?
"What else does your wife say?" Xia Shang asked tentatively.
Yueru replied: "Madam said that she accidentally obtained this thing from someone when she was fighting with him, and asked you to keep it well."
Xia Shang didn't think much about it. The first waist card of the Spring Textile Department was real. It was a good thing that it fell into his hands. As for where Yue Haitang got it, there was no need to think too much.
Led by Yueru, a group of four people embarked on the journey back to Suzhou.
Although it was not particularly pleasant to meet Yue Haitang this time, the other party arranged for his most trusted disciple to escort him from Wangyue Mountain to Suzhou City, which was a good deal.
On the way, Xia Shang thought a lot.
It is impossible for Chunjiao to be in Shuiyue Villa, because nothing that happened during this trip had anything to do with Chunjiao's whereabouts. It seemed that Zhang Kui deliberately deceived himself.
Xia Shang had completely given up on Zhang Kui. During this trip to Shuiyue Villa, Zhang Kui might have wanted to use the incident at Shuiyue Villa to get rid of him, and if he really knew that there would be something going on in Shuiyue Villa in the near future.
When disaster happens, it proves that there is a greater force behind Zhang Kui.
No matter what happened to Zhang Kui, Xia Shang will definitely cause trouble for him when he returns to Suzhou this time.
One more thing, what kind of force is targeting Shuiyue Villa?
There are shadows of the Spring Textile Division, Japanese pirates, and even the officers and soldiers of Suzhou and Hangzhou. Because if you want to surround the mountain, how many people need to be dispatched? Xia Shang knew it well. If the army had not intervened, so
If a large number of people gather together to act, it will also attract the attention of the officers and soldiers. However, the other party can successfully bring so many people into Wangyue Mountain, which shows that the army must provide convenience or pretend not to know.
This matter can be said to be very complicated. The person who can unite so many forces is definitely not simple. Fortunately, the target of the whole matter is not Xia Shang. Therefore, Xia Shang did not delve into it too much.
After traveling for seven days, the four of them finally entered Guan Road from the desolate mountain road and saw the shadow of Suzhou City.
While still outside the city, you can see people coming in and out, businessmen, officials, and knights coming and going in an endless stream. Compared with the deserted and lonely days before, it was much more lively.
The four of them all felt very comfortable, and Xia Shang was no exception. It felt like he had returned to an ordinary life from the world.
In comparison, a life full of market atmosphere is more suitable for me.
The female disciples of Shuiyue Villa were even more happy. They might not be able to go out once in a few years or more. When they saw the big city, they were like birds in the desert seeing the forest. They all turned red with joy.
Besides Yueru, there are two other female disciples, one named Sun Rou and the other named Lanzhi.
As for why they are not named Yue, it is because the qualifications of these two female disciples are too low and they are not among the core disciples of Shuiyue Villa, so they cannot be named Yue.
As people flowed into the city, the two younger female disciples had already begun to admire each other and chatted with each other.
"Suzhou is indeed a big city. Look at this city wall. It is much higher than the wall in our manor."
"But no, you can't see the sides of this place horizontally or vertically, and I don't know how many people can live in it."
Xia Shang thought these two girls were very cute. He became familiar with them along the way. After listening to their conversation, he asked, "Have you never been to Suzhou?"
The two shook their heads: "Not only in Suzhou, we have never even been out of Wangyue Mountain. When we were children, we were farmers at the foot of the mountain. Later, we entered Zhuangzi by chance."
"Now that we have arrived at my land, I must fulfill my duties as a landlord and take a few of them around Suzhou."
The two girls' eyes lit up: "Okay, okay, Mr. Xia must take us to broaden our horizons."
The three of them were talking happily when the black face on one side came over: "Do you think you came here just for fun? This time I came to Suzhou not only to see people off, we also have other important things. You have never left Zhuangzi, so you are here
All actions outside must be obeyed by me."
This sentence made the two girls lose all interest. They both lowered their heads helplessly and sighed: "Yes, senior sister."
Yueru didn't look good for several days in a row, and Xia Shang didn't have a good impression of her because of her good face.
After entering the city, Yueru said goodbye to Xia Shang: "Mr. Xia, I have been ordered to deliver you safely. It's time for us to leave."
"So urgent?"
"I won't trouble the young master any more when I really have more to do with my wife's entrustment on this trip."
The two girls were reluctant and looked at Yueru pleadingly: "Senior sister..."
But before the words came out, Yue Ru glared at them fiercely, and the two girls fell silent.
"Since the girl has made up her mind, I will take my leave. Anyway, thank you for escorting us all the way. We will see you later."
The four of them parted ways at Dongchengkou. Xia Shang was concerned about his family and was eager to go back. Unfortunately, the journey was tiring and he didn't even have a decent meal. At this time, he smelled the aroma of meat wafting from a restaurant not far away, and his stomach growled.
Don’t live up to expectations. (To be continued)
