Chapter 1381: A small inn on the border
Yuan Shang was furious that a petty thief dared to tamper with him.
The eldest brother was going out for a few days, so he entrusted Shi Li to his care. In case Shi Li was really injured, he would be saved.
Each of his moves was sharp and aimed at the black-clothed man's vital points. After a few blows, he forced the black-clothed man to retreat several steps. He was no match for Yuan Shang at all.
But the man in black was cunning, and seeing that he was no match for his opponent, he dared not stay for a moment. He escaped nimbly like a slippery loach, turned around and disappeared into the night.
At this time, the guards around Zhou Lingyu rushed over, only to see Yuan Shang standing there with an unexpected look on his face.
Seeing the guards who realized it too late, Yuan Shang sneered.
"With your limited abilities, you can't even spot an expert coming. By the time your young master is dead, you probably won't even know it!"
Several guards were so angry that veins popped out on their foreheads. Just as they were about to argue with Yuan Shang, they heard Zhou Lingyu shouting "Come back" in the room and retreated angrily.
Yuan Shang looked back at the dark night and took a breath.
The man in black retreated too quickly, and it was impossible to tell who his target was. If it was Zhou Lingyu, it would be easy to deal with, and he didn't bother to care.
If the target is Shi Li, he has to be more careful.
Although it is unlikely, it would be much more dangerous if someone knew Shi Li's identity and wanted to take her hostage.
After a few rounds of fighting, Yuan Shang was not sure about the identity of the man in black, but his moves did not look like those of a person from the Central Plains. He had fought with Fuso warriors before, and they were somewhat similar to the man in black today.
Shi Li was sleeping soundly and had no idea what happened at night.
The next day, I slept until noon as usual. After waking up naturally, I stretched and glanced at the bedside. Not surprisingly, I saw a dark and strong falcon pacing back and forth on the table.
This falcon was trained by Xuanyuan Lin since childhood. It can travel a thousand miles a day to deliver letters and light objects. It is still with her now. Presumably, someone is worried because she did not reply to the letter as usual after eating the peach blossom pastry yesterday.
Shi Li raised her chin proudly, stepped onto the ground barefoot, walked over and touched the feathers on the falcon's back.
The moment her fingers fell, the falcon paused, but did not dare to move.
Before, this falcon was very proud, and refused to let anyone touch it except Xuanyuan Lin. Later... after being trained by Xuanyuan Lin himself a few times, it dared not move no matter how Shi Li touched it.
[Looking at Yingbao like this, I can only think of one word - spoiled and arrogant~]
[The host is really spoiled, but Xuanyuan Lin deserves it. Chasing your wife to the crematorium is an eternal truth! ]
[It's beautiful and I love to watch it. I won't say a word after watching it~]
Shi Li touched the falcon twice, spread out the letter paper, wrote a few words, and then folded it casually. The falcon picked it up with its mouth as usual, flapped its wings and flew out of the window.
This guy has been trained by Xuanyuan Lin to be extremely smart. He doesn't need to tie letters and objects to his body at all. He can just hold them in his mouth.
If they need to drink water or eat food during the journey, they will find a place to put it temporarily. If someone wants to snatch it, the falcon will directly destroy the delivered letters and objects.
Standing in front of the window and watching the falcon fly into the sky and disappear, Shi Li put on her shoes and prepared to go to the kitchen to find something to eat.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Yuan Shang leaning against the door.
"What are you doing sitting here?"
"Watch out for you not to be caught by Grandma Wolf. You're sleeping like a pig, and you wouldn't even know someone put a sack on you and caught you at night!"
Yuan Shang still said mercilessly, holding the sword and rubbing his eyes as he stood up, "From today on, I will follow you closely until Big Brother comes back."
Shi Li frowned, and seeing that he looked severely sleep-deprived, she swallowed the retort back when it came to her lips.
The two walked downstairs one after the other. The group brought by Zhou Lingyu had already occupied half of the lobby.
Seeing Shi Li, Zhou Lingyu stood up and bowed humbly, "Boss lady."
Shi Li had just gotten up, and actually didn't want to talk to anyone. But since they called her the boss lady, and she was a guest, she could only smile.
"I wonder if Mr. Zhou and his party are used to living here?"
Zhou Lingyu naturally said that she was used to it, but after she finished speaking, she couldn't help but say, "Miss Tang is weak, please be more considerate of her, Madam Boss."
Everyone in the world is like this, they subconsciously feel sorry for the weak, and prefer those children who cry and shout in pain. Upon hearing this, Shi Li raised her eyelids and looked at Zhou Lingyu with a smile.
I originally thought that he was slightly stronger than Ah Heng, but now it seems that they are just as good.
Zhou Lingyu didn't know what she meant and frowned, "Boss lady..."
"She wants to come here to work for me, not to enjoy herself. How can I be considerate? Otherwise, Master Zhou, can you teach her?"
Shi Lishen was annoyed by idiots like these who couldn't even walk when they saw a "weak woman".
With her average vision, she could tell that Tang Rouzhi's footsteps were too light and the calluses on her palms were unusual. She must have some martial arts skills, but Zhou Lingyu couldn't see that at all.
So stupid.
