After the indigenous heroine was reborn, she went crazy and reorganized the plot line

Rong Su was not convinced and reached out to grab the reins of Xiao Si's horse. Xiao Si was so scared that his face changed and he quickly pulled the reins to prevent the horse from being frightened and hurting Rong Su.

Seeing this, Shen Peiqing was slightly frightened and his heart suddenly beat wildly. Then he roared at Rong Su even louder.

"Rong Su!"

But she has a strong personality, so she will not bow her head, and if she says she will go, she will definitely go.

-

On the way to Limestone Mountain, Shen Peiqing's face was dark the whole time, as if it was even darker than coal.

Rong Su curled her lips and followed Shen Peiqing on horseback, feeling quite proud.

Shitou and Xiaosi, who were riding horses and following behind, saw the two people in front. One had a very bad expression, and the other was in a very good mood.

They looked at each other, both showing helpless expressions.

Xiao Si was quite curious and whispered to Shitou, "Mr. Shen and Doctor Rong don't seem to have a very good relationship, so why did he actually listen to Doctor Rong in the end?"

When Shi Tou heard Xiao Si's doubts, he glanced at Shen Peiqing's dark face, shook his head, and replied softly.

"The master's illness still needs to be treated by Doctor Rong, and Doctor Rong is not an ordinary woman. She knows how to protect herself. The master is not obedient, but there is nothing she can do."

Xiao Si nodded, not quite understanding what Shitou said. Why was Doctor Rong not an ordinary woman? However, he knew that Shen Peiqing needed Rong Su's treatment.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the Limestone Mountain.

Limestone Mountain is named as the name suggests, because the entire mountain is made up of natural limestone stones.

From bottom to top, a mountain range similar to a spire is formed.

There is little shade at the bottom of the mountain, and it is all rugged rocks. Vegetation only begins to appear in the middle of the mountain.

However, at this time of year, the vegetation has begun to wither a lot, there is no green to be seen, and there are patches of bare branches.

Looking up, you can see Kaohsiung’s majestic buildings on the top of the mountain.

It uses a combination of wood and stone, which looks solid and unique.

As I was admiring it, someone came down the mountain path. A man in ordinary and slightly rough clothes came towards me, and behind him were three men of similar age.

They were dressed similarly, the only difference being the color of their robes.

The man walking in front will have his robe darker than the one behind.

The man in front had a cat-like face and sharp eyes. He looked at people intently, giving people a feeling of nobility and intelligence.

When he saw them, he stepped forward, cupped his hands, and glanced lightly, aiming at Shen Peiqing. He consciously looked at Shen Peiqing and cupped his hands and said, "My name is Xiaotian, and I am the head of the Tiger Head Sect."

Shen Peiqing got off the horse and led the horse. In an instant, his expression became indifferent and he bowed to Xiaotian.

"Shen Peiqing. Please ask Lord Xiaotian to take me to see the sect leader so that we can discuss the details of the transaction."

Xiaotian didn't say much. He just asked people to make way and invited them into the mountain.

Looking from the bottom of the mountain, they already felt that the mountain was extremely strange. However, once they entered the mountain and walked further in, they found that the cliffs were even steeper and the ground was bumpy. When they reached halfway up the mountain, they had to leave their horses behind and walk.

You can’t tell the steepness of the mountain from above; only by walking on it yourself can you understand how steep it is.

I walked for about half an hour, and I didn't know how many mountain roads I had taken, and how many narrow paths I had walked on. Those roads were extremely similar, and I couldn't remember them at all.

If Xiaotian hadn't led the way, they would probably have gotten lost in this mountain, because vegetation began to appear gradually from halfway up the mountain, and the vegetation here was different from that on other mountains, most of the vegetation had thorns.

If you are not careful, the thorny vegetation will pierce your skin. Bleeding is a minor matter. The important thing is that the wound caused by the small thorns is extremely painful and accompanied by itching, and the more you scratch, the worse it gets.

It was only when Rong Su accidentally got his hand pricked by a thorn that he realized how dangerous this place was.

"Be careful. If you feel it's not smooth, you can lean on my arm." Shitou approached and whispered to her.

Rong Su glanced at the stone and saw that he had stretched out his arms. Then he looked at the uneven ground, where there was a small pit with every step, and there were also many small pieces of gravel where people could get hurt.

She was not used to walking on this kind of mountain road, and she had already put a small distance between herself and Shen Peiqing and Xiaotian in front of her.

"Don't worry, Doctor Rong. The master asked me to take care of you. Just stay with me for a while." Shi Tou saw her concerns and comforted her softly.

After hearing this, Rong Su really didn't want to put herself in a difficult position, so she stretched out her hand and placed it on the stone's arm. With someone supporting her, it was indeed easier to walk, so she didn't walk staggeringly, and she wouldn't be easily pricked by the thorns in the vegetation.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally saw a tower building in front of them.

"Everyone, the area of ​​our Hutou Sect is in front. I will have someone take you to the meeting hall later, and I will go and invite our sect leader to come first." Xiaotian led them to the door of the tower, then turned and said to them.

Shen Peiqing nodded and thanked him softly, "Thank you for your help."

Then Xiaotian arranged for someone to take them into the tower, and he disappeared through a small door.

Walking into the tower, I was even more amazed by the construction method inside.

There are many twists and turns, like a large maze. Without someone to lead you, you might get lost if you are not careful.

The houses and courtyards are built with half wood and half stone, giving people a strange and novel feeling.

There are two people guarding the gate of every house and courtyard, and a team of people patrols every quarter of an hour.

It can be said that this place is very heavily guarded, and it is extremely difficult to come here to investigate.

Not only do we have to consider the mountain terrain to get here, but we also have to consider the terrain of the tower inside, and then we have to avoid the patrols and surveillance of so many guards.

Moreover, every guard and patrolman was strong and sturdy, walked lightly, and was obviously a trained martial artist, not comparable to ordinary strong guards.

Rong Su lowered his head and looked around quietly, memorizing everything he saw and the information he got.

Soon, they arrived at the meeting hall that Xiaotian mentioned.

The furnishings in the lobby are not much different from those in ordinary halls. The only difference is that there are many portraits hanging on all four sides.

The characters in the portrait include both men and women. Although they are not colored, everyone's expression is very lively, which shows that the painter is a skilled hand at painting portraits.

"Guests, please sit down and wait for a moment. My hall master has gone to invite the sect leader."

Shitou bowed to the man and said, "Thank you, brother."

The man nodded and left the lobby.

Not long after they sat down, someone else came in to bring them tea.

After delivering the gift, the man walked away with his head down, without looking around.

The whole atmosphere was extremely solemn, even more serious than the Central Plains Palace she had visited in her previous life.

It is said that people in the martial arts world are heroic and do not care about details, so why is the Hutou Sect different from what she knows?

Just when I was wondering, someone walked in from the gate with steady and powerful steps. Before he even came in, I could already feel the vigorous aura coming from him.

"I've kept you waiting. Xu Biao, the leader of the Tiger Head Sect."

Looking up, she saw a man wearing a pair of tiger-skin boots, a black robe and a gray top. Her eyes kept moving towards him, and when she saw that he was wearing a mask with strange patterns, Rong Su frowned.

In this case, how can she observe, smell, ask and feel?

The man's voice sounded a bit vicissitudes of life and heavy, and he seemed to be around thirty or forty years old.

Seeing this, Shen Peiqing stood up and said to Xu Biao with a hint of respect: "Shen Peiqing. These are some of my attendants. Master Xu should not mind."

He briefly introduced them to Xu Biao. When Rong Su saw Shitou and Xiaosi stand up, he also stood up and followed their example to salute Xu Biao.

Xu Biao didn't seem to have much emotion when he saw it. His expression couldn't be seen because he was wearing a mask, so one could only judge by his voice. He just spoke in a calm voice and sat down at the same time: "Please sit down. Master Shen brought everyone in before asking me. If I mind, do you think he will have them all driven away?"

If someone listened attentively to these blunt words, they would think that they were insulting the other person, but Rong Su inexplicably felt that Xu Biao was simply speaking for fun and there was no real meaning in it.

Shen Peiqing seemed to know that Xu Biao was just talking nonsense and had no ill intentions, so he ignored his words and went straight to the point.

"I need the Sect Master to help me transport a batch of very rare and important medicinal herbs to Lincheng. I will give you half of the deposit in advance. Once the Sect Master's people safely deliver my things to the designated location and the things are intact, I will give you the other half."

After hearing this, Xu Biao's eyes remained sharp and scrutinizing on Shen Peiqing, as if he was making a judgment, and he never spoke.

It was not until someone brought tea to Xu Biao and Xu Biao reached out to pick up the teacup and took a sip that he spoke slowly.

"Mr. Shen is a sincere man. We will definitely follow your wishes and deliver the things you want to transport safely to the place you mentioned. As for the deposit, I hope Mr. Shen can give it to us first. The date of delivery depends on your arrangement."

Having said that, this time it was Shen Peiqing's turn to remain silent. He looked directly at Xu Biao, and their eyes kept looking at each other. No one moved, and no one spoke again.

The lobby was so quiet that even if an embroidery needle fell on the ground, you could hear it clearly.

The atmosphere was too depressing, and Rong Su could clearly feel a little breathless. She glanced at Shen Peiqing, then looked at Xu Biao who was sitting opposite her, and lowered her head to think.

Perhaps this is a fight between masters, and it is silent. However, their purpose of coming here is not to transport things, but to get close to Xu Biao, and the one they want to cooperate with is live charcoal.

What should Shen Peiqing do to complete this task?

The air was filled with tension. Just when everyone thought no one dared to break the peace, Xu Biao seemed unable to contain himself anymore.

"Mr. Shen, what are you doing? If you're serious about this, and you're willing to pay a deposit first, do you have to choose a date to pay the deposit?"

This was a bit provocative. Rong Su looked at Shen Peiqing. How would he respond?

Shen Peiqing, however, remained very calm, his eyes fixed on Xu Biao without ever moving away, nor did he show a trace of fear.

"I do sincerely want to cooperate with your faction, but unfortunately, your faction doesn't seem to have the same idea."

Xu Biao's voice deepened when he heard this: "What do you mean?"

Rong Su also didn't quite understand what Shen Peiqing meant. Wasn't he challenging Xu Biao? If he angered the other party, wouldn't they be unable to escape?

"It is said that if one buys and sells one thousand taels of gold, the sect leader will meet him in person, but I haven't seen the sect leader yet, right? So this is your sect's sincerity?" Shen Peiqing's voice suddenly turned cold, and the ending tone was a little heavier. It could be heard that he was already angry.

After hearing this, Xu Biao's eyes panicked for a moment, but he quickly calmed himself by slamming the table, stood up and yelled at Shen Peiqing.

"What do you mean? Are you blind? Am I not right here? So you are provoking me and looking for trouble?"

Shen Peiqing was not afraid at all in the face of Xu Biao's rage. Instead, he smiled softly, supported himself on the armrest of the chair with one hand, and glanced at the other party.

"Provocation? Didn't your sect provoke me first? I'm just stating the facts. Are you really the leader of the Xu Biao sect? If so, why don't you dare admit it out loud? If so, why don't you dare show your true face? I paid a thousand taels of gold, but I can't even see the face of the person who helped me transport the goods. How can I trust you with the goods?"

Every word was spoken softly, but it contained an irrefutable power.

Even though she had known him for quite some time, Rong Su still couldn't believe that the person in front of her was the same Shen Peiqing who was always moody.

This was a side of him she had never seen before. He was so calm and composed, pointing out the other person's many mistakes without changing his expression. She had to admit that he had the demeanor of a king. If one day he could ascend to the supreme position, he would surely be able to do it with ease.

At this moment, "Xu Biao" began to panic, his eyes wandering around, not knowing where to look, and his words were a bit incoherent.

"Nonsense, what's the truth? Admit it or not, I'm asking you to pay the deposit now!"

Before he could finish his words, Xiaotian appeared from nowhere, his cat-like face with an apologetic smile, his hands cupped, and he said to Shen Peiqing, "I'm so sorry, Master Shen, for being so rude."

Shen Peiqing didn't seem to be threatening Xiaotian anymore. He turned to look at him and asked softly, "What do you mean, Hall Master Xiao?"

The other party seemed to see that Shen Peiqing was not trying to make things difficult, but just wanted a reason, so Xiaotian explained with a smile.

"Mr. Shen is a generous man. Most people can't afford a thousand taels of gold. The Sect Master is worried, so he is testing the waters. Now I think Mr. Shen is an extremely cautious person. I think the things he wants to transport must be good things."

What they meant was simply that they wanted to test whether the batch of things were obtained through legitimate means. They didn't expect that the Hutou Sect would value this.

Rong Su was puzzled. Shen Peiqing listened to Xiaotian's explanation but didn't say whether he believed it or not. He just stood up and didn't pay the deposit. Instead, he said, "I'm really a little down today. Let's arrange the deposit another day. Then, I want to hand it over to Master Xu in person."

Having said that, Shen Peiqing took them out of the lobby.

Xiaotian smiled, bowed slightly and said goodbye to them, and asked someone to escort them down the mountain.

When they reached the middle of the mountain, they found their horses, went down the mountain, and were on their way back.

"How do you know that the person wearing the mask is not Xu Biao?" Rong Su was quite curious about this and asked Shen Peiqing.

Shen Peiqing glanced at her and then looked straight ahead.

"Did you notice that when I was talking to him about paying the deposit, he paused for a while before answering?"

When this was mentioned, Rong Su suddenly realized that it was at that time that someone brought him tea. It turned out that he was waiting for someone to give him instructions.
