Chapter 162 Cheats
Chapter 162 Cheats
The actual situation was that the spread of information in Yunsu City exceeded her imagination.
Xiao Zhengdu insisted on going to Yunsu City with her, and even gave up the guards who always accompanied him. He only followed with one guard, who also pretended to wave a orchid bamboo fan.
Pretending to be Li Huaiqing? !
So when the two of them awkwardly stepped into Yunsu City, Lou Xiao wished she could stay as far away from him as possible.
Xiao Zhengdu's handwriting is uglier than hers. It's really eye-catching that he pretends to be a scholar.
What's more, it is in Yunsu City, which has a strong literary atmosphere.
Lou Xiao walked along the busy street, and saw young people in school uniforms everywhere.
Their hairbands were flying, and their faces were full of youth and vitality.
Li Huaiqing's stature stands out among the students.
He is tall, has thick hair, and has a pair of particularly obvious blue eyes, which shows that he is mixed-race.
The people of Yunsu value literature. Although Your Majesty has allowed foreigners to engage in business, there is no precedent for foreigners to study and enter the officialdom.
So when Xiao Zhengdu pretended to fan himself, many people thought he was just pretending and laughed at him secretly.
Only those who knew his identity through various channels were hesitating on how to please the King of Youshan without showing any emotion.
Lou Xiao glanced at his flamboyant look and thought that was actually true.
No matter his or her identity, it is destined to be impossible to hide, so just go into Yunsu City openly.
Those who have good sense will stay away from them, those who don't...
Lou Xiao glanced at the person who suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, groveling and being particularly attentive, "Who do you say you are?"
"I am Pei Yuanxing, the boss of Qiya Trading Company. You two gentlemen, do you have a place to stay since you are new to Yunsu City? There is a big event in Yunsu City recently, and there are no rooms left in the inns. If you two gentlemen don't mind, please do us the honor of visiting my humble home."
Xiao Zhengdu was not surprised that someone recognized him.
Without waiting for Lou Xiao to say anything, he unskillfully folded his fan and said, "In that case, lead the way."
"Yes, my Lords."
Obviously, he knew the identities of the two people.
He was willing to take the risk to invite Xiao Zhengdu and Lou Xiao back home, which showed that he was bolder than others.
You know, Xiao Zhengdu's reputation is not very good.
"I have a hot spring at home, which can be used to relieve the fatigue of your two adults' journey."
Pei Yuanxing looked very happy. "You two adults are visiting Yunsu City? If you need my help, please feel free to give me some advice. I have made some achievements in Yunsu City. If there is anything wrong, I will also be responsible."
King Youshan did not bring a large number of followers with him, presumably because he was unwilling to reveal his identity, but he did not cover his eyes in any way, as if he did not want to reveal his identity, nor was he willing to conceal it deliberately.
The woman beside him should be the Duke of Zhenguo, a favorite of His Majesty. They were all dressed lightly and accompanied by a few people.
If someone hadn't informed them, they would have missed the opportunity to contact the people above.
Take the opportunity even if it means risking your life.
"We are just passing by." Lou Xiao was not impressed by other people's hospitality. "I heard many people say that Yunsu City is very beautiful, so I came to take a look."
If you believe it, there will be something fishy.
But Pei Yuanxing didn't know what to do. He followed Lou Xiao's words and said, "Your Excellency has come at the right time. Something big is about to happen in Yunsu City. It's very lively."
He mentioned important things several times, which made Lou Xiao curious, "What important things?"
If it’s not a festival, what’s the big deal?
"It is rumored that someone in the martial arts world has obtained a secret manual that can restore one's youth and prolong one's lifespan... His martial arts skills can also reach the peak very quickly, and no one can defeat him!"
Lou Xiao just finished listening and complained, "Ridiculous."
Xiao Zhengdu seemed very interested. "Then what? Will there be a time when you compete with me? Returning to youth is tempting enough, and you can also practice martial arts to the peak?"
Xiao Zhengdu's tone was not sure whether he believed or disbelieved. He was more interested in the process and outcome of this fight.
"It's true that they fight fiercely. It's better if these gangsters don't take action, but once they do, people will die."
Pei Yuanxing also looked a little disdainful of them, "I don't know why, but the owner of the secret book is now telling the world that she wants to select the strongest person through a martial arts competition to take away the secret book."
No wonder so many people flocked to Yunsu City.
Still dreaming of eternal youth.
"A martial arts competition." Xiao Zhengdu looked at Lou Xiao and said to himself,
If this competition goes smoothly without any unexpected incidents, it should not be difficult for Lou Xiao to get the secret book.
But she didn't seem interested in these things. Xiao Zhengdu hinted many times, but she didn't know that his purpose was to get the secret book.
Are you pretending not to hear it?
When Xiao Zhengdu was soaking in the hot spring, he was still thinking about this question.
Pei Yuanxing's family is very large, and he even owns gardens and hot springs in Yunsu City, where every inch of land is valuable. He is certainly not an ordinary person.
The hot spring was led into the pool in the courtyard by bamboo pipes, which was shaped like a Tai Chi diagram. Xiao Zhengdu was on one side, and Lou Xiao was on the other side.
In the middle is a thin bamboo as tall as two people, with straw mats placed on it to block the view.
In fact, I can hear the other person's voice very clearly.
Xiao Zhengdu was half-submerged in the pool, revealing most of his chest. His thick and fluffy hair looked much smoother under the water vapor, spreading out and sticking to his skin, hanging straight into the water.
His eyes were particularly hazy and contained a layer of mist, making him look like he was half drunk.
He remained motionless, listening to the sound of Lou Xiao entering the water on the other side. He quietly moved his body to the side close to her and called her,
"Lou Xiao?"
After a long while, Lou Xiao finally spoke lazily, "What?"
"...It's okay." Xiao Zhengdu considered how to ask her to participate in the competition, racking his brains to come up with a reason.
If he was strong enough, why would he need to ask her for help?
"Lou Xiao..."
The sound of water over there got louder. It was Lou Xiao who was making big moves. "Just say what you want to say. It's not like you to be so hesitant."
Xiao Zhengdu then cleared his throat and said, "I think there's something fishy about that martial arts competition. How about we go and take a look tomorrow?"
He just wanted to see what the so-called world of martial arts was like.
Lou Xiao didn't seem very interested, "It's not interesting, go if you want."
"Since it's a martial arts competition, there are a lot of people there, so I think there are more talents from different regions. Isn't this a perfect place to get information?"
Xiao Zhengdu tried hard to say, "And don't you suspect... that it's related to the Jianghu people?"
It seems so.
Lou Xiao thought for a moment, "You just want to go, right? Xiao Zhengdu, you want that secret book? Then you have to be careful in the competition!"
Xiao Zhengdu didn't say anything. Lou Xiao was silent for a while and then said,
"You don't want me to fight you?!"
"You are a martial arts expert, and it will be no problem for you to beat them." Xiao Zhengdu spoke with confidence in her.
"Don't even think about it! If you want to fight, do it yourself!" Lou Xiao snorted in refusal, and then there was a louder sound of water. Lou Xiao moved to the other side away from Xiao Zhengdu.
He refused to listen to him.
She can fight for victory, for competition, for anything...
But I would never compete with others for a secret book that is obviously fake.
