She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life

Chapter 396 Kind and Weak Jianghu No. 1 Beauty 28

Su Jing stopped his horse and turned to look at the carriage that had gone some distance away.

She didn't know where the intuition came from, but she felt that there was something wrong with the carriage.

But now she was in a hurry to return to Qingzhou to kill Jiang Jingyu and the other two, and had already wasted several days. She had no time to investigate whether there was anything strange about the carriage.

She narrowed her eyes, but finally continued to rush towards Qingzhou.

At noon, Shen Weicang and his companions finally entered Yucheng. Wen Guihan ordered the coachman to drive the carriage to Jufulou, and then said to Shen Weicang:

"This Jufulou is the best restaurant in Yucheng. Cangcang must be starving. We can eat soon."

Shen Zheng was sarcastic again: "Master Wen is good at taking over other people's business and ordering the people of Shenjiazhuang around."

Wen Guihan replied indifferently: "If the Fifth Young Master is also familiar with these, I will naturally be happy to have some free time and leave everything to the Fifth Young Master."

The farthest Shen Zheng had ever traveled since he was a child was outside Qingzhou City. He had never been to the world of martial arts, so how could he understand all this?

He looked at Wen Guihan with disgust and gritted his teeth secretly.

What's so great about that? It's just that I've been hanging around in the underworld for a few years.

Qingzhou is not very close to Yunzhou, and Wen Guihan was afraid of trouble on the road, so he chose the safest route.

They had to go all the way south from Yucheng, passing through Luozhou, Ningzhou, Yecheng and Baichen County and return to Yunzhou.

These places basically have brothers who are on good terms with him, so they are relatively safe, and it also makes it convenient for him to have fun on the road.

Su Zhaogang went to Zhuozhou a few days ago, probably going to the Medicine and Poison Sect.

The Medicine and Poison Sect doesn't have a very good reputation in the martial world, and their actions are both good and evil. Su Zhao should be unable to get away to deal with Shenjiazhuang for the time being.

But just because Su Zhao couldn't get away didn't mean that no one was watching Shenjiazhuang.

Su Zhao's men must have already sneaked into Qingzhou City, waiting to cooperate with him from inside and outside.

Wen Guihan has sent a pigeon home to ask his father to send someone to help.

Although Shen Pingjiang was determined not to let Wenjian Villa interfere, Shenjiazhuang was Cangcang's home, so how could he just sit back and watch?

The carriage stopped outside Jufulou. Just as Shen Weicang was about to bend down and walk out, Shen Zheng grabbed his hand.

She was a little confused. The man held her and said nothing with a troubled look on his face.

"doing what?"

Shen Zheng took out a veil: "Sister, do you want to wear a veil?"

In fact, he didn't want Cang Cang to act secretly, but if he was too conspicuous, he would inevitably be noticed by Su Zhao's spies.

Worried that she might be dissatisfied, Shen Zheng immediately added: "It's okay if you don't want to wear it. It's up to you, sister."

Shen Weicang suddenly realized: "Oh, right, are all the female heroes in the martial arts world wearing veils, so that people can't easily see their true faces?"

She took the veil and tried to cover her face. The veil was very delicate, fixed to her bun with a hairpin.

Shen Zheng carefully helped her put on the veil. Shen Weicang turned around excitedly and looked at the two of them: "What do you think? Do I look like a chivalrous heroine?"

Wen Guihan smiled and nodded: "If Cang Cang holds a long sword, she will really be full of the demeanor of a chivalrous woman."

"Long sword?" Shen Weicang said to Shen Zheng unceremoniously, "Give me your sword."

Shen Zheng felt a little regretful in his heart. After Cang Cang put on the veil, only a pair of dazzling eyes were revealed. Her appearance was indeed obscured.

But this hazy feeling of not being able to see her true appearance actually adds a bit of mystery to her, which only makes people want to see her face under the veil even more.

But it was he who suggested that Cang Cang wear a veil, and she obviously liked it. Shen Zheng had no choice but to hand his sword to Shen Weicang.

Shen Weicang took it without any precaution, and his wrist dropped heavily, and the Chixiao sword fell out of his hand with a muffled sound.

Shen Zheng was so frightened that he came back to his senses and hurriedly took her hand to check: "Cang Cang, are you hurt? Let me take a look."

Shen Weicang pulled his hand away angrily: "Why is your sword so heavy? I don't want to hold the sword."

She rubbed her wrist and said to herself: "You are not very capable, but you prefer to use such a heavy sword. Can you dance with it?"

She felt that the unsheathed sword weighed about seven or eight pounds. Although she could lift it, she was unwilling to hold the sword all the time for the sake of her so-called female hero style.

Seeing that Shen Zheng was still smiling, she felt annoyed and raised her hand to slap him: "Why are you grinning like an idiot? Give me my whip!"

A small bell sounded, and Shen Zheng handed the whip to Shen Weicang. Wen Guihan saw the circle of bells and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

For some unknown reason, he now had a certain aversion to bells, and felt a little nauseous when he saw them.

After getting off the carriage, Wen Guihan led Shen Weicang into the restaurant and told the waiter who came up to greet him, "Open a private room."

Shen Zheng fiercely glanced at everyone who was looking at Shen Weicang. His face was cold and his eyes were like those of a wild wolf, scaring everyone so much that they all looked away in panic.

The waiter didn't dare to look at him any more, and just smiled at Wen Guihan and said, "Sir, follow me."

“Eight-treasure chicken, lion’s head, steamed stuffed tofu…”

Wen Guihan ordered a bunch of dishes and said to the waiter, "Bring another pot of good tea and a plate of crispy lotus root."

The waiter responded quickly, turned around and went out, closing the door.

"Cang Cang, these are Jufulou's signature dishes. Try them later to see if they suit your taste."

Shen Weicang blinked his eyes and looked at him: "I have basically eaten all of these. Could it be that the cooking methods in Yucheng are different from those in Qingzhou?"

Wen Guihan laughed. He forgot that Cang Cang was so spoiled. How could she not have tasted this thing before?

He said vaguely, "The sign of Jufulou must be unique."

Shen Zheng sneered: "Young Master Wen, please stop showing off your knowledge in front of us."

Wen Guihan pretended he didn't exist and explained to Shen Weicang with a faint smile:

"After all, Yucheng is close to Qingzhou, so the food customs must be similar. Once we go south, there will be many things that are very different from Qingzhou."

Shen Weicang was still indifferent to him and just said "hmm".

Wen Guihan felt bitter in his heart. Did Cang Cang blame him for being too ostentatious at the Shen family’s dinner table on New Year’s Eve?

He didn't want to expose their relationship in front of his uncle and aunt, he just wanted to express his feelings for Cang Cang.

The food on the table was not very attractive to Shen Weicang, but she was somewhat interested in the dessert and ate a few more pieces.

After the three of them walked out of Jufulou, Shen Weicang asked Wen Guihan to take her to the jade gambling house.

Wen Guihan had told her on the way here that the most lively place in Jade City was the jade gambling house, and she was more interested in having fun than eating.

Although the jade gambling house is called a gambling house, it is actually not much different from a trading house. Its owner is the Jade Pawn Shop.

Jade pawn shops have always been dead-end pawnshops. The jades collected will be sent to jade gambling houses, which will then sell them to the highest bidder.

The reason why they are called gambling houses is because their selling method is very peculiar. They do not give any explanation to the customers, and the prices are quoted by the customers themselves. Whether they make a profit or loss, they are at their own risk.

Shen Weicang walked into the jade gambling house, and Wen Guihan quickly arranged a private seat for him.

"A jade Buddha amulet."

Shen Weicang and his companions sat in the elegant seats on the second floor. Similar to the Hongji Opera Troupe, the guests of the jade gambling house were also arranged on the second floor, with a string of copper bells at hand.

Ringing the bell means offering a higher price than the other party. Ringing the bell three times in a row means that you like the item on the table and will buy it no matter what the price is.

Shen Weicang glanced at the stage from a distance and thought it was a bit ridiculous: "How can we see anything from such a distance? Are people going to place bets just by hearing the name? This is really a gambling house."
