Creation of the Universe

Shen Zhan, who is a good man in the eyes of Li Zhu and Wang Xin, sneaked under the big tree where the horse was tied.

The servants of the Jia family had just put down a bundle of fodder here, and this was exactly the ingredient he was looking for. He said something about it being light and warming was just a casual remark, his real purpose was just to tease Shen Jingjuan.

Previously, Shen Jingjuan had even wanted to betray Shen Yunli. This woman was full of evil intentions and only deserved to eat what animals had eaten.

Shen Zhan quickly gathered some grass, chopped it into small leaves, and took it back directly.

Li Zhu looked at the tiny things cooking in the pot, which also emitted a burst of grassy fragrance, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Master, what is this?"

"It's a medicinal herb."

"Why is the whole pot of soup green?"

"Because this medicine is very rare, the greener it is, the better the effect."

Li Zhu nodded, seeming to understand, "I see, Master Shen is truly knowledgeable and talented."

After this pot of so-called vegetable soup was cooked, Li Zhu sent it directly to Shen Jingjuan without doubting whether there was anything wrong with it. It didn't matter to him anyway, it was just for show.

Shen Jingjuan's throat was sealed and she couldn't speak. When she saw the bowl of dark green stuff in front of her, her eyes widened as big as pigeon eggs.

Li Zhu said to her, "This is a soup that a young master kindly cooked for you. Please enjoy it slowly. It smells good, but it looks a bit disgusting."

"If you don't eat, I don't have anything else to give you. Take care of yourself."

After saying that, Li Zhu turned and walked away. The broth was very delicious, so he had to get two more bowls.

Shen Jingjuan, who was alone in the carriage, was hungry and tired. She had been starving for a long time, but the food in this bowl really did not arouse her appetite. When she was in the palace, she ate delicacies from land and sea every day, but she was still picky.

Now she missed the dishes she disliked very much, but unfortunately she had no choice.

If she doesn't eat it, she will starve, but is it really okay to eat this kind of thing?

Every time she suffered, her hatred for Shen Yunli grew a little stronger. This was not the suffering she deserved.

After eating, the caravan did not choose to camp on the spot, but continued to travel south for dozens of miles before finding a suitable place to stop.

Li Zhu and Wang Xin were both puzzled. Why didn't they just stay overnight and continue their journey the next morning?

It was just daybreak, but the caravan was stopping to rest, contrary to common sense, which was puzzling.

Jia Zhong told them, "We are a merchant caravan, transporting a lot of goods. We travel at night to avoid being seen, which is relatively safe. We can use the daytime to rest. This is based on experience gained by those of us who travel frequently for business. Sometimes it can save us a lot of trouble. Don't disbelieve it."

Li Zhu thought for a moment and said, "I believe it. For us brothers, it doesn't matter whether we go during the day or at night. As long as there's a carriage to take us there, it's fine."

In fact, this was what Shen Zhan taught Jia Zhong in advance. The real reason was that Shen Zhan wanted to get away from Wubei City as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble.

At this moment, the caravan stopped by a small river. Everyone started to set up tents and prepared to camp and rest here. Everyone was busy with their own things and did not notice anything unusual around them.

Jia Zhong came over and asked Shen Zhan, "Brother, Li Zhu and Wang Xin have sneaked into the woods. Do you want to send someone to keep an eye on them?"

Shen Zhan turned to look at the carriage where Shen Jingjuan was, and then told him: "As long as this woman is still here, don't worry about them."

"okay, I get it."

In order to deceive Li Zhu and Wang Xin, Shen Zhan hid his cultivation level all the way. He believed that he had not revealed any flaws and was not afraid that the two would notice.

At this moment, he suddenly felt something strange, and then followed his intuition to look towards the main road. Unexpectedly, he saw two figures in the distance, one tall and one short walking towards this side.

The appearance of these two people made Shen Zhan quickly alert, because they were the masters who appeared in the Jinning Palace that night. It seemed that they were the ones sent by the queen to hunt him down.

Shen Zhan calmly whispered to Jia Zhong, "The people who came to hunt me down showed up much faster than I expected. I don't know how they did it.

But there's no time to dwell on this now. I'll leave the group and divert these two troublesome individuals away from here. Don't worry about anything else. Just lead the caravan to your planned destination as usual. I'll naturally find a way to get out of this situation."

Jia Zhong said, "There are only two of them. Can't we just take them out in one fell swoop?"

"It's not that simple. Just like your father said before, if these two are two of the eight guards of the Lingzhou Wang family, then their strength cannot be underestimated. Moreover, I have met them before, and they are both very powerful."

"This...Brother, can you handle it alone?"

Jia Zhong was very worried about this.

Shen Zhan asked him back, "I can't do it alone, but will it be enough if you join me?"

"Brother, I understand. I will do as you say."

At this time, Jia Zhong no longer said any more nonsense. The only thing he could do was to believe Shen Zhan.

There was no time to lose, Shen Zhan had to act now. He jumped directly onto the carriage where Shen Jingjuan was and whipped the horse three times, driving the horse away from the team and galloping forward with him.

"Mind your own business, don't worry about it."

Jia Zhong said to the people around him who were looking at him curiously.

Shen Zhan was driving the carriage to attract the pursuers' attention as much as possible, while the two men, one tall and one short, on the other side had already locked onto the carriage that suddenly sped away.

Their figures gradually turned into shadows and soon caught up with them. The most unlucky person at this time was Shen Jingjuan, who was sitting in the carriage. She had no idea what was happening outside. She was still drowsy and was awakened by the shaking of the carriage.

Shen Jingjuan covered his forehead and shouted outside: "What are you doing? Are you crazy? Let me out!"

When Shen Zhan heard Shen Jingjuan's annoying voice, he immediately said, "A prisoner still has such a bad temper. It seems that you ate all the fodder yesterday."

"Fodder? What do you mean by that?"

Shen Jingjuan thought of the disgusting green vegetable soup from yesterday and immediately realized that it was not a vegetable at all, but fodder for livestock. The worst thing was that she couldn't bear the hunger in the middle of the night and ate the whole bowl of fodder.

"Asshole, you give me food for the animals!"

Shen Jingjuan roared.
