Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

After driving for several days, the three of them were exhausted. After the initial curiosity and excitement after entering the city passed, they just wanted to take a good nap, but unfortunately, the situation did not allow it.

Shen Huaixu stood in front of the window of the superior room with only a crack open, changing the angle to confirm the appearance of the people following them downstairs. After taking note, she turned around and walked to the mahogany table to take a sip of the tea Xiaoman had poured.

"Xiangyi City is someone else's territory after all. It's always not good to start a war. Let's see what they want to do first."

With that said, Shen Huaixu yawned, briefly washed up, said something to the two of them, and went to rest on his own.

She seemed to hear Fuyin's voice in her dream. In the chaos, she only woke up for a moment before sleepiness overwhelmed her like a tide.

When he woke up, Shen Huaixu didn't know whether the sound was a dream or something real.

Candles were already lit in the room, and Xiaoman stood up as soon as he heard her getting up.

"Miss, are you awake? It's still early. Miss can sleep a little longer."

Shen Huaixu shook his head and asked, "Where's Shuangjiang?"

"Frost stayed up until midnight, and I just went to bed."

His mind gradually became clearer from the chaos of just waking up. Shen Huaixu turned his head and looked at the closed window, "Ask the waiter to bring some hot water. We will go out later."

After burning a stick of incense, the two of them appeared in the empty alley next to the inn. Lying in front of them was a slovenly and unknown man. He was exactly one of the people Shen Huaixu saw through the crack of the window today.

Xiaoman looked at the person on the ground with disgust, took out a white porcelain bottle, leaned over and put the mouth of the bottle under the man's nose and waited for a moment. When the man was about to wake up, he straightened up again.

"You...who are you?!" A hoarse voice sounded in the empty alley.

Southern Xia was the territory of the previous dynasty two hundred years ago. It was only later that the Wei clan became disloyal and proclaimed themselves king. Therefore, the languages ​​​​of the two countries are relatively interoperable, even if the other country's accent is thick and mixed with some dialects and colloquialisms, Shen Huaixu Even Guai Daimeng can understand it.

"Where are you grabbing the lyrics?" Shen Huaixu's tone was lazy but smiling, "Why did you follow us?"

The idle man's face stiffened for a moment, and he stumbled and tried to escape.

Xiao Man, who had been waiting by his side, grabbed his shoulder and moved it downwards. He exerted force on his hand and raised his leg to kick. While the idle man was kneeling on the ground, the grabbed arm also moved in a kind of way. Bent at a weird angle behind.

He only let out a short cry, and then he didn't make any sound again.

Xiaoman looked at the people on the ground a little helplessly, then looked at his own young lady, and couldn't help but muttered: "He is too inexperienced."

If her young lady came here, she would probably die.

Shen Huaixu smiled and said, "Wake him up. I have something to ask."

When he woke up from a coma for the second time, Xian Han learned his lesson. He no longer wanted to run away, and knelt on the ground and begged in broken Jin dialect: "You two young ladies, there are many of you. My brothers and I saw that you came from other places." Yes, I wanted to find an opportunity to borrow some money from you, but I never thought that these three women would not give in to men. It is really admirable. For the sake of me, you two girls, please spare me this time... ·”

"Just want to borrow some money from us?" Shen Huaixu asked.

His throat rolled, and the idle man said with a flattering smile: "If you tell me even half a lie, I will be struck by thunder—"

Halfway through his words, Shen Huaixu interrupted him impatiently, with an arrogant and willful tone, "Okay, okay, get out! I'm so sleepy in the middle of the night! Get your group away. If I see you again tomorrow morning, Don’t blame me for being rude to you!”

I thought I was going to explain it here, but I didn't expect to escape so easily. The idle man was stunned and speechless for a moment.

Shen Huaixu took out the whip from his waist and waved it in the air threateningly, crackling, "What? Do you want to stay?"

The idle man reacted and shook his head quickly, "No, no, no, let's go now, I'll leave now!"

With that said, he rolled and crawled out of the empty alley.

After people left, Shen Huaixu asked: "There must be an informant secretly, has it been resolved?"

"Lixia said that those people were dead warriors. They bit open the poison sacs and committed suicide when they felt weak. No useful information could be obtained from them."

There was a hint of amusement in Shen Huaixu's eyes, and he said with a smile: "The person behind the scenes is so vigilant. There are people guarding me secretly and openly. It seems he hates me very much."

She said to Xiaoman again: "You go back to the inn first. I have something else to do. Come back as soon as you go. Don't worry about me."

With that said, she walked towards the alley.

The last sentence made Xiaoman swallow back the words she was about to blurt out. She looked at the young lady's back and knew that she couldn't follow her at this time.

After following the young lady for so long, she had already discovered that sometimes the young lady would not let them follow because she disliked them being in the way, not anything else.

Shen Huaixu walked quickly in the direction where the idle man left. Not long after walking out, she put on a cloak in the night, and her figure completely disappeared into the night.

Xianhan's leg was kicked by Xiaoman and he couldn't go too far. It was easy to catch up with him.

Not long after, the two people, one after another, came to the bank of Luoyin Lake in the south of Xiangyi City. They saw him boarding a large ship docked on the shore with ease. Shen Huaixu came to the middle of the ship and used his bare hands to Climbed onto the boat.

The night was dark, and the bright moon was hiding behind the thick clouds, looking shy and timid. It was late at night, and the only people walking around on the boat were the servants.

As she landed gently, she heard footsteps coming from the stairs leading to the lower cabin next to her. She stood motionless on the side of the ship. The person who came was a maid, and as soon as she showed her head, she raised her hand and slashed her on the back of the neck.

The maid rolled her eyes and fainted. Shen Huaixu caught her body with one hand and the porcelain plate that was about to fall to the ground with the other. The food in the porcelain plate rolled to the ground, and she had no time to care.

After a while, Shen Huaixu put on the coat that he took off from the maid, simply pulled up his hair, took out the disguise tools from the space, and in a very short time used the techniques he learned from Xiao Man and Shuang Sheng to disguise himself. Then she picked up the snacks that fell on the ground and put them on the porcelain plate again.

After preparing everything, she looked at the sleeping maid, and a cold light flashed in her palm. A moment later, a dull sound of falling into the water sounded in the silent night. Perhaps it was because she was deep in sleep and did not disturb the people on the boat.

Shen Huaixu lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, holding some snacks and walking towards the direction of the voice - Xianhan's voice was particularly unpleasant, she remembered it clearly.
