Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Jiang Shuang did not tell Lin Xiaoqian that she had killed Wan Chou, because she felt it was unnecessary.

The nation's primary task for her was to protect Lin Xiaoqian's safety at all costs.

Secondly, it's about exchanging things with people from another world.

So shortly after returning from outside the city, she made an excuse to go out.

She killed Wan Chou for only one reason: she was unsure whether Wan Chou would continue to send people to assassinate Lin Xiaoqian.

She wants to nip all potential dangers in the bud.

If it weren't for the difficulty of entering the palace and not knowing what Eunuch Cao looked like, she would have wanted to kill him as well.

She was not surprised to see Su Hezhou and Sikong Zhenyue arrive.

However, Su Hezhou did not directly question her about whether Wan Chou's death was related to her when he came to the store, which surprised her somewhat.

"Miss Lin, here is your money."

Su Hezhou had his attendant present him with a box of silver.

Lin Xiaoqian happily accepted the silver: "Thank you, Lord Su."

Sikong Zhenyue, carrying a box containing martial arts manuals, looked at the empty shop and asked, "Miss Lin, are you sure you won't be running out of braised pork trotters today?"

He'd been busy all day and hadn't eaten yet.

Lin Xiaoqian said with a smile, "Business is good today; we sold out before noon."

We sold 300 servings of braised pork knuckle rice today, and a total of 700 servings over the past three days. If we sell for another day tomorrow, we'll almost have completed our target.

Su Hezhou smiled slightly: "In that case, we can talk about business. I wonder how the two ladies would like to exchange?"

Jiang Shuang closed the shop door, and the group sat down.

The two had already asked the old beggar about the classification of martial arts manuals, and it wasn't as simple as they thought; they only wanted unparalleled martial arts manuals.

In the world of martial arts, martial arts manuals are also ranked. Generally, there are four levels: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. Above these, there are very few divine-level martial arts manuals, and some people have never even heard of them.

The old beggar knew that there was a copy in the palace, but he didn't know its exact name.

First-rate sects mostly have Heaven-level martial arts, second-rate sects mostly have Earth-level martial arts, third-rate sects have Profound-level martial arts, and Yellow-level martial arts manuals are commonplace and can be bought with money, after all, this is a martial arts world.

Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang discussed buying some yellow-level manuals that they could afford to buy, after completing the task of selling pig's feet rice, and taking them back with them, since Lin Xiaoqian had plenty of money in hand.

However, it might be harder to buy them at higher prices.

As for how to exchange with the imperial court.

Lin Xiaoqian said, "Lord Su, a pistol with a full load of bullets can be exchanged for five Heaven-level martial arts manuals, and a rifle with a full load of bullets can be exchanged for ten Heaven-level martial arts manuals."

Upon hearing this, Su Hezhou frowned.

Su Hezhou pondered for a moment and said, "Miss Lin, aren't these exchange conditions a bit too high? Heaven-level martial arts manuals are precious items; such an exchange is probably..."

Jiang Shuang interjected, "Lord Su, you are well aware of the power of these weapons. The benefits to the court from having them are self-evident. Moreover, we have the only ones of their kind."

Lin Xiaoqian said, "Lord Su, we are also sincerely exchanging these weapons. They are not very useful in our hands, but they would be a great asset to the imperial court."

Su Hezhou fell silent. Wan Chou died without a sound, and this was hardly a significant achievement.

He pondered for a moment, then asked, "I wonder how many pistols and how many rifles the young lady has?"

Jiang Shuang's ring wasn't very spacious, only two cubic meters. Besides the ones she used herself, it held a total of twenty rifles and thirty pistols.

In addition to the required ammunition, there is also the M249, a large pineapple with a maximum rate of fire of 850 rounds per minute, a range of one kilometer, and a magazine capacity of two hundred rounds.

“I have fifteen rifles and twenty pistols,” Jiang Shuang said.

After all, there are still some slots left for exchanging guns to other sects. Once the system mission here is completed, they will release the news to the entire martial arts world.

Sikong Zhenyue concealed the probing look in his eyes, smiled innocently, and asked, "I can tell that you two young ladies are not martial arts practitioners. I wonder what use you have for this martial arts manual?"

He then added with a smile, "I was just curious, please don't take offense, ladies."

Lin Xiaoqian blinked: "We just like collecting martial arts manuals."

Sikong Zhenyue clearly didn't quite believe the answer, but he didn't press further and simply nodded with a smile.

Su Hezhou said, "Miss Jiang, Miss Lin, this matter is of great importance. I need to go back and discuss it before making a decision."

Jiang Shuang said, "Please go ahead, Lord Su."

Lin Xiaoqian also said, "Please take care, Lord Su."

Jiang Shuang escorted Su Hezhou and Sikong Zhenyue to the shop door.

Before leaving, Jiang Shuang whispered to Su Hezhou, "If Lord Su has any divine-level secret manuals, I also have a great treasure here that can fire two hundred bullets continuously with a range of one thousand meters, which we can exchange for. In addition, I will give you an extra one thousand rounds of matching bullets."

Upon hearing this, Su Hezhou gave Jiang Shuang a deep look, said nothing, cupped his hands in greeting, and left.

After Su Hezhou and the other man left, Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang exchanged a glance and asked, "Sister Shuang, are we setting the price too high?"

Jiang Shuang waved her hand: "No, our weapons are unique in this world. Even if they were given two hundred years, they still couldn't make weapons like ours. They should be grateful to have met us."

Lin Xiaoqian nodded and said, "That's true. Hopefully, they can give us an answer as soon as possible."

On the other side, Su Hezhou and Sikong Zhenyue were talking on the road.

Sikong Zhenyue said, "Lord Su, the two young ladies spoke so succinctly that we couldn't glean any information from them."

Su Hezhou nodded slightly: "That's true, but if we can really get those weapons, it will be a great help to the imperial court."

Sikong Zhenyue echoed, "What you say is absolutely right, sir. I just don't know how His Majesty will decide."

Su Hezhou said, "I'll go to the palace first. You take this box of martial arts manuals back to the Imperial Guard and take good care of it."

Sikong Zhenyue replied, "Yes, sir, you may go in peace."

He possessed profound inner strength, and even if Jiang Shuang spoke in a low voice, he could hear her. However, even if he heard her, he had to pretend that he knew nothing about matters involving divine-level secret manuals.

Su Hezhou said no more and spurred his horse toward the palace.

Inside the palace, Xiao Qi was handling state affairs in the imperial study.

The eunuch announced, "Your Majesty, Lord Su requests an audience."

Xiao Qi put down the memorial in his hand: "Summon it."

Su Hezhou entered the imperial study, bowed, and then reported to Xiao Qi in detail the details of his conversation with Jiang Shuang and Lin Xiaoqian.

Xiao Qi narrowed his eyes, his expression inscrutable: "They actually have even more powerful weapons. Capable of firing two hundred rounds continuously, with a range of one kilometer?"

However, they want to exchange it for a god-level secret manual, which is quite an appetite.

"Besides that, I have something else to report," Su Hezhou said respectfully, bowing his head.

"Wan Chou is dead."
