C30

Shi En and his group drove away from Wu Chang Manor overnight. Around 5 AM in the morning, the group finally arrived at Changsha Mansion.

The exhausted group found a decent inn to stay in in order to relieve the fatigue from the journey. When everyone was fast asleep, Shang Qian was the only one that was busy. At this moment, he was sweating profusely as he was concocting the antidote for the Ice Breaking Powder for this girl of unknown origin.

Last night, after receiving a small packet of Ice Breaking Powder from Santa, Shang Qian was fully immersed in researching and refining the Ice Breaking Antidote, especially after seeing the crazy state the girl was in when her drug addiction acted up. The kind Shang Qian immediately felt as if his shoulders were getting heavier and heavier. He lifted Shi En's leg off his shoulder, covered him up, and continued to study him.

Originally, he had even planned to personally try and apply the medicine on the patient, but he was quickly rejected by Shu Xiaoxiao. Facing Shu Xiaoxiao's strong opposition, even he would be helpless to help. After an fruitless morning of research, Shang Qian could only inject a tranquilizer into the girl who was addicted to drugs.

"White-haired Boy, why haven't you rested yet?"

"I'm not tired, Brother Shi En."

"I say, even if your body is made of iron, you don't have to fight like this, right? Since this crazy girl has finally calmed down, hurry up and go back to sleep." Shi En stretched his body and turned around. Seeing that Shang Qian was still working hard, he worriedly tried to persuade him.

"Brother Shi En, if you're awake, quickly go down and eat lunch. The little miss and the Uncle Huzha have already finished their lunch and left the house."

Shang Qian wiped the sweat off his forehead. His eyes were swollen and black, he had not slept for 40 hours. Shi En wanted to continue persuading her, but he saw Shang Qian rushing downstairs without looking back, exhorting him: "Brother Shi En, I'm going out to buy some medicinal herbs, help me look after her, if she's addicted to drugs, then you have to give her the medicine on the table, I'll be troubling you."

Shang Qian slipped away without a trace, leaving behind Shi En who was in the room and the girl who was fast asleep on the bed. Shi En spread out his hands, slightly convinced by this little research maniac. He simply washed his hands, then beautifully combed his hair. Standing in front of a mirror in the room, he looked left and right. Just as he was about to sigh, he heard the painful groans of the young girl on the bed.

It was only then that Shi En remembered that Shang Qian had told him to inject medicine into the girl before he left. Shi En followed Shang Qian's instructions, took the syringe from the table and walked towards the young lady beside the bed.

"Who are you? Where is this place? What are you holding in your hand? What are you doing? "

The young lady looked at the repulsive Shi En as he walked towards her step by step with the syringe, "Go away, do you believe that I won't make my Royal Grandpa drag you out and kill you? Don't come over here, I'm calling for someone!"

"Go ahead and shout. Even if you scream your throat out, no one will care about you."

Shi En did not stand on ceremony with her, he immediately grabbed her hand, rolled up his sleeves, and pierced the needle into her blood vessel.

Ah!" My royal father will not forgive you!

The moment the potion entered the blood, the young girl felt a will attack her abdomen, ready to break out at any time. "Gugugu, it hurts, my stomach hurts, I'm going to pull it out and wear it, it's a toilet." The girl panicked and forgot to put on her shoes. She directly abandoned Shi En and rushed towards the bathroom.

"What are you doing?" Shi En scratched his head. He felt that it was a little strange, but seeing that the young lady was fine, he went downstairs to eat alone to fill his stomach. Who would have thought that after arriving downstairs, the innkeeper would tell the kitchen owner that there was something he needed to attend to and that in a short period of time, there were not many waiters who knew how to cook at the inn? Shi En could only trouble the waiter to run around and buy some food for him.

After ordering a plate of fried peanuts with its shell peeled, and two plates of famous Changsha New Year cake and Changsha milk cake, Shi En found a table near the window and sat down. The shopkeeper brewed a pot of scented tea and brought it over. At this time, two guests, one old and one young, dressed in a coat and wearing a felt hat, came in from outside the inn.

Shane, who was munching on peanut rice, looked up and saw the waiter come back with a bag of oiled paper wok in his hand. After a while, he brought a plate of roast duck with a fork. He felt his appetite open and casually gave a tip to the waiter. Suddenly, he heard the two guests that just entered the restaurant speak a few awkward words, and asked: "Bro, who are those two? "The accent is so strange.

The waiter of this inn was a smart person. He lowered his voice and said, "Master, this is the Shanxi accent." Shi En rubbed his chin, and asked suspiciously: "Shanxi, why did they come all the way here?"

The waiter looked around cautiously for a while, then went close to Shi En's ears and whispered: "Master, they are the Southern Crawlers of the Penetrating Orb."

Shi En exclaimed in his heart. He turned his head to look at the old and young, and thought to himself, how could this unassuming old and young man be the Southern Crawler?

Wasn't the South Crawler called the Tomb Thief by the people from the eighth branch of Shanxi Province? Shi En sized up their attire and thought that they really did look similar to the description of the South Crawler.

The waiter noticed that Shi En seemed to be interested in all this, and his eyes lit up, "Master, your luck is not bad, this Southern Crawl must have brought some good stuff after entering the city. If you want to buy something, you must do it according to the rules.

Because Shi En and his group had lied when they came to the tavern to claim that they were here to do business, the waiter thought that Shi En was here to retrieve the underlings. If he could help Shi En create a business deal and collect a small profit from it, it would be much better than working hard in the tavern that he was in. At this time, Shang Qian walked up the stairs with a basket full of herbs. Even when Shi En called out to him from behind, he did not hear him.

Shi En could only continue sitting down and chat with the waiter, while on the way, he inquired if there was any useful information. The waiter was amused. He knew that as long as he served this old man well, he would be able to get a lot of tips. He said proudly, "Master, I won't hide it from you. Our ancestor was also a field officer, and he was working under Master Cao during the Three Kingdoms."

Shi En laughed and cupped his hands in courtesy: "I didn't know that you are a famous general, excuse me, come, sit down and talk. You must be tired standing."

"Hai, grandpa, there have been a lot of new faces coming to Changsha Palace recently." Shi En knew that he had more to say and did not continue, quietly listening to him continue, "I also know what they are here for. One or two of them are all here for the Duke Palaces."

Shi En said, and asked: "Oh, they are getting bolder and bolder, you think they have any ideas about living people? And a prince? " When the waiter heard Shi En's question, he knew that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained, "Master, you must know, there used to be a prince in Changsha Palace, and he was our Great Ming Dynasty's eighth son, King Tan, Zhu Zi."

"Speaking of this prince, he is quite a benevolent person. I have often heard my grandfather say that this prince is very intelligent and good at studying and writing articles. During his stay in Changsha, he would gather the Confucian Scholars from the Prince's Mansion to drink and write poems. He would personally evaluate their talents and bestow upon them gold coins. He often rode on a white horse to go to the outskirts of the city, where he could save the poor citizens who were persecuted by the 'External Devil'. He is very prestigious amongst the people, but unfortunately … "

"What's a pity?"

"It's a pity that back then, this prince was involved in a mess and was deeply implicated. When he went to the capital, he burned himself to death with the princess. Because he had no children, the palace was once empty."

Shi En nodded his head, "En, the story is interesting, but what does it have to do with the battle?"

The waiter then carefully said to Shi En: "I heard that this prince has a very good relationship with Military Advisor Liu who helped the Patriarch Ming to complete his Imperial career, and even gave him a Immortal Slaying Sword. All these South Crawlers, Earth Instructors, and Golden School Commanders came for this item, and now this sword is in the Prince's Mansion."

"Immortal Slaying Sword?"

"That's right. Legend has it that this Immortal Slaying Sword is bestowed upon Military Advisor Liu as his assistant. Being able to command Long Zi is a rare divine tool."

Shi En laughed, "Immortal? There really is an immortal. Why don't you descend to the mortal realm to help us mortals repel the External Devil? Just then, sounds of hammering came out from the second floor's room. Shi En quickly went upstairs, and when he saw that it was his own room, he thought to himself that it couldn't be that crazy girl who was addicted to drugs again. Before he even entered the door, he heard Shang Qian's voice coming from inside.

"I already said that I didn't look at it on purpose, so why don't you listen to my explanation? Sigh, don't throw away my things. That's for you to use in developing antidotes. "

"I won't listen! I, a dignified fifth miss of the Prince Yan Mansion, actually let a white-haired little rogue like you be so frivolous. I, I, I will smash you to death!"

who was lying outside and eavesdropping was shocked, when did this White-haired Boy become so wretched, to actually have the guts to take advantage of someone else? Mn, she must have stayed by Snake's side for too long to learn.

Shi En continued to eavesdrop when he heard Shang Qian's hurried explanation to the girl.

"I, I didn't, I thought that Brother Shi En was in the toilet, and you weren't on the bed, I thought that you had gotten addicted to drugs and escaped the inn, so in a moment of desperation, you forced open the bathroom door, and besides, I didn't see anything."

"You still say, you still say, I'll smash you to death."

Only then did Shi En understand what had happened. He covered his mouth and snickered, saying to himself, White-haired Boy, you should do it, this is called being kind and not getting paid for it, he had never heard of the story of the farmer and the snake. He must have heard of Xu Xian and the White Snake's little song often, to let you pick up a multicolored poisonous snake and bring it back for no reason. Shi En held his hands behind his back as he prepared to go downstairs. He had not finished eating all the roasted chicken, so he decided to leave this mess to Shang Qian to clean up.

Just as he went downstairs, he saw the stubble on the ground floor. No, it was Li Tianwang. He was sitting on the stairs, holding a toothpick in his mouth, and behind him was a fat guy who was smoking. A guy with a mouth full of gold teeth, comb his hair, and two black circles under his eyes, looked really like a panda from a distance. Seeing Shi En coming down the stairs, Li Tianwang let the fatty stomp out all the smoke. Li Tianwang led the fatty to Shi En and said: "Hanging baby, I want to introduce you to a big shot."

Li Tianwang took Shi En's hand, and introduced him to the fatty: "Erpang, this humble servant is hungry, Shi En, his skills are nothing to speak of, you can try to buy or sell it to him."

Shi En politely shook hands with the fat uncle, then turned and asked Li Tianwang in a low voice, "Mr. Li, who is this fat uncle?"

The smiling fatty looked to be around 30 years old, enthusiastically patting Shi En's shoulder and said: "I am Jin Erpang, a specialist digging into the tombs of our ancestors."
