Crossing the Sword

When they set up camp and had dinner at night, Ye Shisan discovered that the dishes here were of different saltiness. He asked curiously, "Brother Luo Feng, the food in your Sanmiao Kingdom is really delicious. I have eaten dishes in Shennong Kingdom that were not salty at all. Compared with this, it is simply incomparable." But in his mind, he was thinking, is it only Shennong Kingdom that lacks salt?

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Da Luofeng hesitated. When Zhang Tianya was about to tell him, "It's inconvenient to say, forget it," he said, "To be honest, senior, we are the caravan of the Youdu Luo family, engaged in trade between countries. This time we bought salt from Shennong Country. If it weren't for you, senior, I really don't know how to explain it to my father."

Ye Shisan could understand this. Such a large amount of salt would be worth a lot of money even in modern times. Not to mention that salt has only been available for less than a few months. Once it is available, it will soon become a necessity for mankind. The private salt business can also be said to be a kind of huge profit, otherwise it would not be banned repeatedly.

Seeing Ye Shisan nodded without saying anything, Luo Feng continued, "This salt has the taste of seafood. Senior, do you think it could be some kind of mineral from the sea?"

Hua Yu, who was standing by, did not forget to argue with Ye Shisan at this time. While eating, she rolled her eyes and said, "Brother, don't force him. How can a cold-blooded guy like him have time to think about something that benefits the country and the people? If you ask him what blood tastes like, maybe he can answer more fluently."

"Junior sister!" Luo Feng was almost mad at this little junior sister. She had been looking for trouble with Ye Shisan all day. Fortunately, Ye Shisan never bothered with her, but this girl was getting worse and worse, making it very difficult for Luo Feng to do his job.

Ye Shisan also felt that this little girl was always targeting him, and couldn't help wanting to disgust her, so he nodded and said, "The taste of human blood, how should I put it, a little sweet, and a little salty... It's hard to describe." Seeing that the brother and sister were no longer there and were looking at him like a monster, he laughed and said, "Don't get me wrong, I was beaten and vomited blood before, so I tasted my own blood."

After hearing this, Luo Feng was fine, but Hua Yu still couldn't swallow the dishes on the table. Ye Shisan was secretly happy. If a tiger doesn't show its might, you will treat me like a sick cat. Now you know how powerful I am. If you offend me again, I will make you unable to eat anything for a month.

Looking at Ye Shisan and Luo Feng eating and talking and laughing, Hua Yu became more and more angry. Finally, she slammed the table and shouted, "You can still eat when you talk so disgustingly? Humph, I won't eat anymore!" After that, she turned and left.

Luo Feng looked at it and shook his head with a bitter smile. He knew in his heart that this was Ye Shisan’s first counterattack, but he didn’t say anything.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ye Shisan said calmly, "I'm still being polite. If I say something else, I'm afraid she won't be able to eat anything for a month."

Luo Feng asked curiously: "What?"

"Do you want to hear it?" Ye Shisan smiled, which made Luo Feng feel uneasy and he quickly surrendered.

"Let me be serious." Ye Shisan regained his seriousness and said, "Is this your first time leading a caravan? Jianghu is a world where people eat each other. If you don't kill people, you will be killed by your enemies. If you can't really face the test of life and death, don't go to Jianghu. Just be a pure businessman." After that, he looked at Luo Feng and said, "Especially you."

After hearing what Ye Shisan said, Luo Feng said a little aggrievedly: "Really? I feel that my performance should be better than that of Junior Sister."

Ye Shisan took a bite of the food and asked casually, "Are you going to measure yourself by a woman's standards?"

Luo Feng was invigorated after hearing this, and hurriedly clasped his fists towards Ye Shisan and said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior."

In the following days, bandits still appeared from time to time. But after Ye Shisan killed seven leaders in a row, the journey was finally peaceful. It seems that these bandits have some connections with each other. Knowing that there are people in this caravan that they cannot afford to offend, they dare not appear again. But why Luo Feng's father was so confident in letting them come out, I really can't understand.

Three months later, they finally arrived at the destination of this trip, Youdu City. However, Ye Shisan always felt that this name was strange. Every time he heard this name, he could always associate it with some supernatural creatures.

When they arrived not far from the city gate, a group of cavalrymen were walking out of the city gate, led by a young man in bronze armor who looked similar to Luo Feng. When he saw the caravan, he immediately shouted, "I didn't expect to run into the Luo family caravan here. It's really an honor for Li Ruo. Brother Luo is in the car, why don't you get off and see us?"

Luo Feng laughed, walked out of the carriage and said, "Brother Li, you are too polite. I wonder where you are going?" As he said that, he walked out of the carriage and greeted Li Ruo with a smile.

"Haha, I went out of the city to do some things, but I didn't expect to meet Brother Luo here. It's really fate." He stretched out his right hand.

"Yeah, I thought Brother Li was here to welcome me personally." The two hands clasped together, looking very friendly, but Ye Shisan found that they were actually competing with each other in terms of skills. With a sweep of his Heavenly Eyes, he found that Li Ruo's skills had reached the level of the late fourth stage, and Luo Feng was already sweating at his temples.

During the time he had been in contact with Luo Feng, he felt that this guy did not have any deep scheming except wanting to win him over as a super bodyguard, and he had a good impression of him. In addition, he was not familiar with this Youdu City, and he would inevitably need him in the future, so he decided to help him first.

In a flash, he appeared beside Luo Feng, and naturally placed his right hand on his shoulder, injecting a strong internal force into his body. He smiled and said, "It's wrong for you to not introduce your friends to me. Brother Luo, this is wrong."

Luo Feng got help from Ye Shisan, and the pain in his hand disappeared. He was so happy that he couldn't help but increase his strength.

Li Ruo had already gained the upper hand, thinking that with the help of his master, his skills had finally made a breakthrough, and this time he could just embarrass Luo Feng in front of everyone. But he never expected that when Luo Feng was about to give up, a Cheng Yaojin would suddenly appear. He suddenly felt a huge pain in his hand and quickly pulled his hand back. This was bad. He wanted to embarrass the other party, but now he suffered. It was really retribution.

Luo Feng was secretly happy to see him make a fool of himself. He laughed and said, "I overlooked it. This is General Li Luo, he is the schoolmaster of Youducheng. This is Ye Shisan, Senior Ye."

"Li Ruo greets Senior Ye." After greeting Ye Shisan, he said to Luo Feng, "I still have work to do, so I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye, Brother Luo!"

"Goodbye!" After saying that, he and Ye Shisan returned to the carriage again.

After Li Ruo got on the horse, he secretly rubbed his right hand that was pinched, glared fiercely at the carriage where Ye Shisan and Luo Feng were, and then led the team away.

After returning to the car, Luo Feng hurriedly said to Ye Shisan with gratitude: "Thank you for your help, otherwise I would have made a fool of myself this time. Hey, when I left, our skills were comparable, I didn't expect that he would improve so quickly."

Ye Shisan shook his head slightly, indicating that it was okay, and asked casually: "Who is that Li Ruo?"

Hua Yu took over and answered: "He has a great background. Although his official position is not high, he is the only disciple of Susano. In Youdu City, ordinary people still dare not offend him."

"Susanoo, the wind-breaking sword?" Ye Shisan's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
