"If I want to be serious, all I can do is thank you."
As soon as Xia Shang spoke correctly, he stretched out a hand from the quilt and gently placed it on Yue Haitang's hand.
Yue Haitang retracted her hand and quickly turned her head away. She must have been in her thirties or forties, but she had never experienced anything like this.
"You...you can rest here to recover. I have said what I need to say and left."
"So fast?"
Xia Shang still wanted to persuade him to stay, but she didn't give him a chance. He opened the door in a hurry and disappeared from sight.
Now his life is not in danger, and Xia Shang needs to rest for the rest.
…
The time to recuperate and recuperate is as fast as running water, until the new willow branches burst out in March and the catkins float into the hut...
Xia Shang finally got up from bed, changed into clothes, and could go out for a walk and bask in the sun.
The moment he opened the door, the warm spring breeze brought with it the smell of sunshine, giving people a feeling of vitality. He had been in bed for too long. This excitement of rebirth made Xia Shang want to shout loudly.
shouting.
But before I opened my mouth, I suddenly felt out of breath and bent over and started coughing.
Yu Ji supported him from behind and patted his back gently: "Sir, your recovery is not enough now."
Xia Shang shook his head. He understood in his heart that it was not that the recovery was not enough, but that the addition of zhenqi in his body had brought about changes in him.
It seems that what Yue Haitang and Master said was not a joke.
Thinking of his own tragic experience, the excitement of regaining a new life also faded a lot. I wanted to recite poems in front of the spring sunshine in March, but in the end I only pursed my lips and did not speak.
"How many days have passed?"
"On the third day of the twelfth month."
"So long?"
Xia Shang frowned slightly and was about to say something else when a peasant girl passed by holding a basin of washed clothes outside the courtyard. She took a curious look inside and then shouted cheerfully: "Sister, is that your little lover?"
She is so handsome, no wonder my sister is willing to watch over her day and night, it looks like she is finally getting better, so congratulations!"
Yu Ji smiled faintly, nodded towards the other party, and then said to Xia Shang: "You must have an identity to hide your identity."
Xia Shang didn't care about his identity, so he responded in a low voice: "Thank you for these days."
Yu Ji was in a daze, thinking about a question, why is there a kind of inner courtesy between subordinates and superiors?
This was something that the Metropolitan Procuratorate had never seen in the past, but Yu Ji enjoyed this state very much, which at least showed that the original decision was not wrong.
Although a long time has passed, the series of disturbances caused by the Heroes Conference did not end there. Instead, more and more martial arts people were lurking around Suzhou.
Everyone had the same idea to kill Xia Shang.
This is not only an elimination of a major scourge for the martial arts world, but also an opportunity to become famous.
The most important thing is that I heard that the First Master is not good at martial arts. Whoever encounters him and kills him is both luck and fate.
Therefore, all the big and small characters in the world are willing to come to Suzhou to try their luck.
But one thing is not clear: did Xia Shang die?
Until Xia Shang himself or his body is seen, there will be no conclusion on this issue.
Now is the time when Xia and Shang should not appear in Suzhou.
As for Xia Shang's next step, Xia Shang has already thought about it very clearly in the past ten days.
He wants to go to the capital alone, to the center of the storm, to pursue more rights and ambitions from those who want to deal with him.
After the martial arts competition, Xia Shang's identity was completely exposed. He used to want to live his life anonymously, but now there are countless people who want to break his peace.
He also understood that if he wanted peace in this life, he must not dare to approach those who tried to break his peace.
I used to think that just protecting myself was enough.
Only now do I realize that protecting yourself is far from enough. You also need to frighten others and make others fear you.
He was forced before, but now he understands that he wants to actively join the power struggle in the capital, and he wants to use this change of throne to establish his supreme rights.
This time when he went to Beijing, he would face too many dangers and have many things to do, so he decided to go alone.
Before that, Xia Shang told Yu Ji some words and asked her to tell them to her family in Suzhou. He also summoned several of his subordinates who had helped in Suzhou to briefly explain his plans.
Finally, Xia Shang notified a person to be on standby in Changzhou at the junction of Suzhou and Yangzhou.
…
We set off for Qu County and arrived in Changzhou five days later.
Although Changzhou is also a county within a week, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has inconvenient transportation, so it is only a small city.
The Xia and Shang Dynasties passed through this place when traveling from Yangzhou to Suzhou, and were attacked by water pirates at Taihu Lake in Changzhou.
Mountain bandits and water bandits are also a major feature of Changzhou, and they are still a serious problem today.
During the Xia and Shang Dynasties, a batch of Wuliangye was robbed by bandits here, and there has been no news of it to this day.
If it weren't for the bandits here, Xia Shang would not have opened any wine shop in Suzhou.
Many troubles are closely related to Changzhou.
Therefore, Xia and Shang were no strangers to Changzhou.
When he first arrived in Changzhou, Xia Shang found a seat by the window at the appointed restaurant.
Traveling alone this time, it is inconvenient for Xia Shang to reveal his identity, so it is necessary to remain anonymous.
The name Xia Chunqiu had been spread and could no longer be used, so he gave himself another name for his trip to the capital, called Xia Hui.
Xia Hui means next chapter, which means that this chapter is over, and when you turn to the next chapter, everything will start again.
Xia Hui also means returning in the summer, that is, next summer will be the time to return, which also proves that Xia Shang's goal for himself is to make a difference in the capital next summer.
Xia Shang liked this name very much. Although ordinary people would laugh when they heard it, a wise man would definitely understand its profound meaning.
There are not many people in this restaurant, and the few side dishes in front of them are enough for Xia Shang to enjoy the peace after running around in this free time.
When he came to Changzhou, Xia Shang transformed into a frail scholar. He wore a long gown with brocade belt, a hair scarf, a folding fan on his chest, and a tassel tied around his waist. His handsome appearance combined with his sick appearance gave him the appearance of a handsome and talented man who was depressed.
A few girls in the restaurant couldn't help but stare at him.
At Miaoxian Tower opposite the restaurant, the gorgeous brothel girls were already smiling and waving handkerchiefs at him!
This was just a pleasant moment, but two beggars appeared and walked up to me, nodding and bowing: "Uncle, uncle, please give me some reward."
Xia Shang looked at it and picked up the jug in his hand: "I don't want this full jug. You can find the empty jug and I'll give you a hundred gold."
When the two beggars heard this, they looked at each other and said, "We found the empty wine jug. We hid it among the leaves."
After saying that, the two beggars secretly handed Xia Shang a maple leaf and then hurried away.
Xia Shang took the leaf with three words "little whitebait" written on it.
Xia Shang silently wrote down these words, then tore the leaves into pieces, pretending that nothing happened, and continued to wink at the girls in the flower house opposite. (To be continued)
