Chapter 843: Brilliant Plan

The reason why he did not use his hands was to prevent the other party from using poison.
That person was blocked, but he did not stop immediately. In fact, his palm was just a feint. His real goal was to save the hostage in Su Xiaoxiao’s hand.
His other hand was already holding the blade and cutting the whip that trapped the girl.
Then, he slashed at Su Xiaoxiao’s neck.
Wei Ting blocked his wrist.
The man pulled the girl over with his other hand and used his qinggong to leave with her.
She was already far away, but they could still hear the girl’s indignant roar. “I’m going to kill her! I’m going to kill her!”
Everyone was a little unsatisfied. When experts fought, they always wanted to watch more.
Unfortunately, they had already left, so everyone could only disperse.
Wei Ting took the half whip from her hand and threw it away. “Are you injured?”
“NO. ‘That person’s palm was poisonous just now.” su xlaoxlao smelled lt.
After getting pregnant, her sense of smell was much more sensitive than before.
“You didn’t touch his hand, did you?”
Wei Ting said, “No.”
Before setting off, the Old Marquis had reminded him that the people of the southern border were good at Gu and poison. He had to be careful when fighting the people of the southern border. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the scabbard. “Let’s go.”
The two of them entered the Silken Cloth Manor.
The innkeeper did not lie to them. The Silken Cloth Manor was indeed a small cloth shop. Business was not good, and there were few types of materials at a glance. The quality was not good.
Other than the two of them, there was no other customers in the cloth shop.
The shopkeeper did not seem to care about the state of business. He did not entertain any customers and rested his head on his hand in boredom, tapping his abacus on the counter.
A clerk walked forward and asked with a smile, “What material do you want to
“I’m not here to look at the materials,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
The clerk was stunned.
Su Xiaoxiao came to the counter.
The light above the shopkeeper’s head dimmed. He did not even look up. “I only sell materials, not shoes, not ready-made clothes.”
Su Xiaoxiao took out the jade thumb ring and placed it on his abacus.
The shopkeeper paused and immediately looked up at Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting.
His gaze told Su Xiaoxiao that they had come to the right place.
“Secret signal!” the shopkeeper whispered. Su Xiaoxiao looked confused. “There’s no secret signal.”
Could it be that Su Li had forgotten to mention it?
The shopkeeper patted his chest. “It’s good that there’s no secret signal.” Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
The shopkeeper continued, “Excuse me, is the brocade bag here?”
“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao took out the brocade bag and the note inside.
After the shopkeeper took it, he found a dagger and cut open the brocade bag, pulling out a golden thread from the compartment.
“It’s the boss’s brocade bag!”
The corners of Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth twitched. There was actually a secret hidden in the brocade bag. Why didn’t Su Xuan tell her? What if she had thrown the brocade bag away?
Su Li must have left something out!
This Fifth Brother!
After confirming Su Xiaoxiao’s ident.i.ty, the shopkeeper’s att.i.tude immediately changed.
“I’ll get someone to sew the brocade bag. I guarantee it’ll be exactly the same as before it was opened!”
Su Xiaoxiao replied, “No need.”
The shopkeeper walked out from behind the counter and extended his arm towards the stairs. “Miss, Young Master, please go upstairs!” Wei Ting corrected her seriously. “She’s my Madam.”
The shopkeeper was stunned.
Su Xiaoxiao had a tender face and a round face. She had lost weight, but there was a little baby fat on her cheeks. It was no wonder that the shopkeeper had misjudged her.
He said awkwardly, “Ah, yes, Young Master. Madam, please go upstairs.”
The two of them followed him to the accountant on the second floor.
He made tea for the two of them. It was actually the Great Zhou’s Longjing Tea.
It seemed that this place was indeed related to the Great Zhou.
Wei Ting brought Su Xiaoxiao’s tea to him and said to the shopkeeper, “Please pour a cup of warm water.”
The shopkeeper was experienced; if she could not drink tea, could it be…
The shopkeeper did not ask further and respectfully poured warm water over.
He sat down opposite the two of them and said with a smile, “My surname is
Zheng and my name is Hai. Young Master and Madam can call me Old Zheng.”
Su Xiaoxiao picked up the warm water and took a sip. “I want to ask, the person who asked me to look for you…”
Zheng Hai understood what she wanted to ask. He smiled and said frankly, “Ah, it’s our boss.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked around. “Is your boss’s shop… so deserted?”
With Su Xuan’s wealth, it was not to the extent that he could not even afford a few high-grade fabrics.
A trace of reverence flashed across Zheng Hails eyes. “This is exactly what’s so brilliant about Boss. To put it bluntly, we’re in the southern border to gather information for Boss. If the business of the shop is too good, it’s easy to be targeted.”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. She had learned.
Zheng Hai asked, “Does Boss give the two of you anything else?”
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and took off the bracelet on her wrist. “This.”
She did not mention the third brocade bag for the time being. That could only be opened when she went to the capital. It should have nothing to do with
Phoenix Town.
Zheng Hai took the bracelet with both hands and looked at it carefully for a while. “I see.”
He took a clean handkerchief and wiped the place he had touched. He placed it on the handkerchief and returned it to Su Xiaoxiao.
“What do you see?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Zheng Hai smiled and asked, “You’re going to the capital, right? This bracelet can only be used for this.”
Su Xiaoxiao put the bracelet back on her wrist. “Is this bracelet related to going to the capital?”
Zheng Hai was not in a hurry to answer her. Instead, he asked, “You just came to the southern border. Do you think it’s easy to enter?”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded slightly. “That’s right. One can even fill in the official doc.u.ments on my behalf.”
Zheng Hai smiled and said, “It’s not difficult to enter the border of the southern border, but not everyone can go to the capital of the southern border. Your ident.i.ties should not be exposed. Do you know who attacked you on the streets just now?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “The sister of the Saintess of the Southern Wilderness?”
Zheng Hai looked at the two of them in surprise. “You know?”
Wei Ting drank his tea silently and was willing to be the background.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Zheng Hai and said, “I wasn’t sure if it was true before, but I’m sure now. However, that’s all I know.”
Zheng Hai said, “She’s indeed the biological sister of the Saintess of the Southern Wilderness and the second daughter of the Cheng family… Let me tell you about the situation in the Southern Wilderness. In the Southern Wilderness, the royal family of the Southern Wilderness is at the top of the power, followed by the Saintess Temple, and below that are the four big families and eight tribes. The Cheng family I mentioned just now is one of the four big families. It has the support of two big tribes. The new ident.i.ty arranged by the boss for Miss is the daughter of the Cheng family.” “Huh?” Su Xiaoxiao blinked. “Why did you arrange a new ident.i.ty?”
Zheng Hai hurriedly explained, “The situation in the capital of the Southern
Wilderness is different from the Great Zhou, Northern Yan, Western Jin, and Wei… If outsiders don’t have enough background, it will be difficult for them to take a step forward.”
Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin.. “If I’m the daughter of the Cheng family, wouldn’t I have to be sisters with the Saintess of the Southern Wilderness and that girl just now?”
