When people are being chased, they usually try to hide somewhere or escape to a distant place.
Most people would find a place to hide or put on clothes if they were walking naked on the street.
But Huang Chenghe was no ordinary person. He said, "Let's find another place to take a bath."
"Are you out of your mind?" Su Zinong immediately objected. "What kind of situation are we in now? We're losing face and on the verge of death, and you're still thinking about taking a bath? The most important thing right now is to buy some wine!"
A silly, ridiculous lifestyle is not advisable; those two were just saying it for fun.
The priority was actually to find a place to put on clothes before continuing to escape.
The carriage was parked outside the south gate, waiting there. As long as he was paid enough, he wouldn't complain even if he waited forever.
"Brother driver, you've worked hard!" Huang Chenghe called out from afar. Although he had been pampered since childhood, he was always polite to others, and it was no accident that he had many friends.
But the driver, perhaps asleep, did not respond.
Su Zinong grabbed Huang Chenghe and said, "This isn't right!"
Looking around, I didn't see anyone else.
The driver's clothes were partially visible in the front, indicating that he was not inside the carriage but rather in the driver's seat.
Su Zinong winked, signaling Huang Chenghe to stand there, and then slowly walked towards the carriage, saying, "Uncle, the weather is cool and breezy, it's perfect for a nap."
Upon reaching the carriage, Su Zinong suddenly exerted his strength, scattering a packet of poison powder through the carriage window. He then leaped back two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) and shouted at Huang Chenghe, "Run!"
The two ran into the city.
With a loud bang, the carriage behind them split open, and three or four people rushed out, giving chase to Su Zinong. However, after chasing for three miles, only two people remained in pursuit, the rest falling behind and disappearing from sight.
Seeing that he couldn't shake off the other party, and that it was obvious that the two were six-star cultivators, much stronger than him and his companion, and would catch up soon, Su Zinong quickly called out to Huang Chenghe, "North Wall."
Huang Chenghe immediately understood what was going on and rushed towards Lin Yixi's residence.
The two reached the high wall on the north side, leaped up, and stood on the wall as if to jump down.
Two enemies also jumped onto the high wall, and seeing that Su Zinong was about to jump down, they followed suit.
Unexpectedly, Su Zinong was just making a show of jumping down and didn't actually do it, because he had jumped down before and suffered the consequences.
The two men in black, oblivious to the danger, jumped down and crashed into the deep pit with two loud thuds. The pit was piled high with rocks, and a large net was lowered from above, leaving no escape for anyone, no matter how high their cultivation level.
Huang Chenghe waved his hand and shouted, "Thanks, farewell!" After saying that, the two jumped out and ran away, taking a detour to exit through the south gate.
The original carriage was now shattered into several pieces. Inside the carriage were two men in black, while outside, another man in black lay on the ground, barely alive, with a large hunting dog lying unconscious beside him.
Too bad!
Although the carriage was specially chosen to be spacious enough for two people to lie down comfortably, it was still far too cramped with so many people, including a dog.
Su Zinong stepped forward and slapped the three men in black, along with a large hunting dog, until their skulls were shattered, rendering them incapable of further evil. He then bent down to search the men's pockets for valuables, but found nothing, only a large sum of money—several thousand taels of silver.
Su Zinong sighed silently, amazed by their immense wealth.
Huang Chenghe was overjoyed, even happier than if the real culprit had died, since that annoying bloodhound was finally gone. However, seeing the coachman murdered, he couldn't help but feel sad. He and Su Zinong dug a large pit and erected wooden planks.
Not knowing the coachman's name, they wrote on the wooden board: "The Coachman's Curtain".
Huang Chenghe also transplanted a wildflower from the grass to the grave and bowed three times.
Then it headed north.
"How did you discover that there was something wrong with the carriage?" Huang Chenghe asked curiously.
“First, the coachman is a vigilant man. I’ve noticed that even when he’s asleep, he wakes up immediately at the slightest sound. But you called so loudly and he didn’t respond, so he’s either unconscious, injured, or dead. Second, the rear wheels are deeply embedded in the mud, indicating the weight of more than one or two people. And there aren’t any tire tracks of the same depth on the road behind the wheels, suggesting that the weight was added after the carriage stopped to hide the enemy,” Su Zinong explained in detail.
"That was brilliant!" Huang Chenghe gave a thumbs up. "We never expected that the trap we so hated at the Lin family would actually do us a huge favor today. Next time we meet Miss Lin, we must express our gratitude to her."
"Don't forget your injured head. When you see her, will you curse her or thank her?" Su Zinong sneered.
It was truly gratifying to kill that bloodhound.
Even if enemies continued to pursue them, it would be much more difficult. After all, the world is vast and complex, and the two had already changed their appearances again.
The enemy had only one option left: to lie in wait near the Yellow River Villa and wait for Huang Chenghe to return home.
But Huang Chenghe isn't stupid; he hasn't dared to go home lately.
I was originally planning to visit the other two extraordinary women, but since the wedding banquet at the Goddess Palace is so lively, we might as well go to the Goddess Palace first and then go to other places later.
Huang Chenghe said he needed to prepare a small gift and therefore had to make a trip to Xiangyang City.
"I only have 20,000 taels of silver notes on me. I'm too poor and shabby. I need to borrow some from a friend to use for now," Huang Chenghe said calmly.
In this world, ordinary people earn ten or eight taels a month, and Su Zinong usually carries a thousand taels, which he finds more than enough. Hearing Huang Chenghe speak like this, he didn't dare to reply. Fortunately, he had obtained four thousand taels from those assassins, so he now had five thousand taels on him.
During a rest stop on the road, Huang Chenghe took out the sword he had bought from the Golden Island auction house and played with it.
"You've been watching for over ten days now, haven't you had enough yet?" Su Zinong asked curiously.
“It’s impossible to see enough of a treasure in just over ten days; it takes at least a month or two. But it’s definitely not as exciting as the day I first got it,” Huang Chenghe said.
He picked up his new sword and swung it. A tree as thick as a bowl was sliced in two with a soft "squeak," the cut clean. What was even more impressive was that it didn't make much of a sound; it was truly a sword capable of cutting hair in an instant and slicing through iron like mud.
"Brother Su, have you ever seen such a sharp sword?" Huang Chenghe's eyes flashed.
"No, no, I've seen very few treasures, and it's impossible for me to have seen such a sharp sword. I feel like I got my money's worth for the ten thousand taels," Su Zinong exclaimed.
"Of course it's a win-win situation! I only intended to take it back to brag about it, but I never expected it to be so powerful. I've seen many treasures, but I've never seen such a precious sword. This one is mine now." Huang Chenghe was delighted with it.
As he spoke, he took out the Thunder Sword from behind his back and handed it to Su Zinong, saying, "Here, take this sword. You should throw away that broken sword of yours!" Huang Chenghe said with a smile.
"Such a generous gift is too much for me to accept without having done anything in return," Su Zinong said, though his eyes were fixed on the Thunder Sword, his heart filled with excitement.
"Just accept it if you give it to me, otherwise it'll just gather dust in the storeroom when we get back to the manor," Huang Chenghe said casually.
"Thank you so much! I'll go through fire and water for you if you ever need me..." Su Zinong said, then remembered that Master Zhang Tianchu of Green Wave Manor had said something similar, and he couldn't continue...
