There are too many female protagonists with deceased husbands in the Qin Dynasty's Past Books.

The fine armor he wore might indeed be troublesome for ordinary martial artists, but sorry, Jiang Mo practices witchcraft.

Swords and blades are hard to harm, but Gu worms can penetrate anywhere.

Especially for Jiang Mo's Emerging from the Cocoon Gu, unless it is a completely sealed can without any gaps, even the slightest gap will allow the delicate silkworm silk to move freely.

Even hiding in armor, one cannot escape the fate of being strangled.

However, Jiang Mo did not intend to make a move, because he had already caught a glimpse of several Korean soldiers approaching from the corner of his eye, while guards from the manor were also rushing over from another direction.

"I'm sorry, Lord Liu may be a little drunk."

It was Li Kai who led the crowd to stabilize the situation. As the Right Sima, whose position was above Liu Yi, he had to clean up the mess left by this incompetent subordinate, and his expression was inevitably a little unpleasant.

However, he was very polite to Jiang Mo. Even though he was wearing armor and it was inconvenient to bow, he still clasped his hands in a sincere apology.

They did not underestimate Jiang Mo because of his youth.

His subconscious glances at Hu Yuer were filled with apology.

Perhaps it was the gathering of Korean soldiers that gave Liu Yi courage, and he started to try to cause trouble again, but before he could make a move, he was glared at fiercely by Li Kai.

"Tang Qi, take the brothers and escort Lord Liu back to his room to rest!"

Without any intention of standing up for Liu Yi, Li Kai gave an order in a stern voice, and immediately an old soldier led his men to capture Liu Yi.

"Lord Liu, you're drunk. You should get some rest."

echoing the excuse Li Kai had just made up, the old soldier with graying hair and beard swiftly grabbed Liu Yi, covered his mouth, and dragged him away with several brothers.

Upon hearing the name Tang Qi, Jiang Mo's heart stirred slightly.

He couldn't help but glance at the veteran, who looked to be nearly fifty, and subconsciously compared his current appearance with the one he remembered.

At this time, Tang Qi still did not show the demeanor of the leader of the Seven Absolutes Hall.

However, as a veteran who has been through countless battles, his whole body is surrounded by a faint aura of bloodlust, a power honed through countless life-and-death experiences.

It's far superior to Liu Yi's bluster.

Despite Liu Yi's continued struggle, Jiang Mo estimated that if the two were to engage in a true life-or-death battle, Liu Yi would likely be killed by Tang Qi after only a dozen or so rounds.

The other party acted very efficiently and did not hesitate because of Liu Yi's identity.

He clearly understands his own position and cares more about Li Kai's orders than Liu Yi's face, so he must be Li Kai's capable assistant on a regular basis.

What's most eye-catching is the scar on the other person's forehead.

It may have been just a mark left after a life-or-death battle on the battlefield, but because its shape is close to the number seven, which corresponds to his name, it has become his iconic symbol.

It even became the symbol of the entire Seven Wonders Hall later on.

"Lord Liu's rudeness is due to my failure to properly discipline you. I will give this item to you as an apology."

Jiang Mo was also surprised that he could gain something after teaching Liu Yi a lesson.

He, who had been somewhat distracted, immediately snapped back to attention upon hearing Li Kai's words, and beamed with joy as he bowed to Li Kai.

"It's nothing at all, no need for apologies, Lord Right Sima, you're too kind~"

Despite saying this, Jiang Mo showed no sign of refusing and accepted the apology gift from Li Kai with a smile.

A can of tea.

Moreover, judging from the rather exquisite pottery jar, it must contain very good tea. At least, Jiang Mo noticed that many of the onlookers who had gathered back had their eyes light up.

Li Kai's apology was quite sincere.

While it might not be considered extremely valuable, it's still a very rare item in the Baiyue region. This way, Jiang Mo wouldn't feel guilty accepting it, and it would also effectively express his apology.

Not to mention that he became the Right Sima at such a young age.

After Li Kai intervened, the farce quickly came to an end, and the onlookers who had gathered were soon dispersed by the South Korean soldiers.

Regarding the room allocation issue

Hu Yuer initially felt it was somewhat inappropriate, but after Liu Yi's outburst, she didn't dare to say anything more.

What if Jiang Mo were to say to her again: "The lewd see lewdness"?

Hu Yu'er was really struggling to cope. Thinking of this, her cheeks flushed slightly. She couldn't help but steal a glance at Li Kai, who had stepped in to help her resolve the crisis, but unexpectedly, she made eye contact with him.

So he looked slightly embarrassed and dared not linger there any longer.

As he wished, Jiang Mo was able to share a room with Yan Lingji. After entering the room, he put down the bundle he had been carrying and then roughly checked the arrangement of the various furniture and furnishings.

They also take some precautions against theft.

After finishing his chores, Jiang Mo looked up and saw Yan Lingji still standing at the door. He was slightly surprised and patted the bed beneath him.

"Weren't you complaining about being tired on the way? Why didn't you come and rest?"

"Oh, right now?"

Yan Lingji seemed to be thinking something, and she appeared very nervous and at a loss when she heard Jiang Mo's words.

Jiang Mo: ?

Chapter 43 I told you finding a bargain wasn't that easy.

"What you've done is somewhat unnecessary."

While Jiang Mo and Yan Lingji were discussing how to rest, the two people in the opposite room also had a slight argument.

The Hidden Witch, who had barely spoken along the way, coldly stared at Wei and spoke.

The latter had already laid down on the only bed in the room without hesitation, lazily stretching, completely ignoring the snowy spring light spilling out from under her clothes with each movement.

"Is it superfluous? I don't think so."

Hearing her companion speak, Wei seemed a little surprised. She sat up straight on the bed, casually crossing her right leg over her left knee, revealing a large expanse of fair skin through the open hem of her dress.

Her plump hip line was also faintly visible.

"If that girl develops any unnecessary feelings, it will not be of any benefit to our plan."

The hidden sorcerer remained completely unmoved, his indifferent gaze not shifting in the slightest.

It seems that in his eyes, Wei, who is full of charm and allure, is nothing more than a beautiful skeleton, and he will not be moved in the slightest no matter what seductive pose she strikes.

It can be said that they were completely devoid of worldly desires.

"Oh, so what do you think we should do? Let that clueless girl come into contact with Crown Prince Tianze like that? Heh, I can probably guess what will happen..."

Wei smiled, then suddenly began to mimic Yan Lingji's voice in a high-pitched voice:

"That guy is so boring, all he thinks about is power struggles, he's nothing like Amo~"

She drew out her words, deliberately trying to imitate an innocent and carefree tone.

Unfortunately, that really didn't match Wei's mature and charming image. She wasn't cute at all like Yan Lingji. Instead, she showed an awkwardness like an old woman trying too hard.

What she thinks is completely unimportant.

The Hidden Witch dismissed Wei's words but didn't argue with her further. After leaving a statement to clarify her stance, she strode towards the door.

"It's time to pay a visit to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Ha, you really don't know how to care about people at all. Xiao, do you know? You're really boring these days~"

Wei reluctantly got out of bed.

She had originally planned to sneak up to Yan Lingji's room and eavesdrop, but now her plan had fallen through.

it's a pity.

The hidden sorcerer did not react to her words, but paused slightly when he heard her former name.

But that's all there is to it.

In the room opposite the two, Jiang Mo and Yan Lingji did not rest for long before leaving the guest room together.

After all, Huo Yugong's birthday celebration is a rare and grand event. It would be a waste of the opportunity and a disservice to the two of them who had traveled for so long, instead of letting Yan Lingji see more of the world.

It's time to let Yan Lingji see the vastness of the world, to see how many beautiful and prosperous things there are, and then find an opportunity to abduct her from this poor and remote Baiyue region.

Oh, right, and that guy, Wushuang Gui.

Perfect timing! They're short of a helper to carry things around, aren't they?

Jiang Mo secretly thought to himself that this wasn't the first time this thought had crossed his mind, but since he began studying under the shaman, it had subsided in the peaceful and warm days. Like the idea of ​​quitting his job without a plan, it always stirred in his mind, but he ultimately found it difficult to put into practice.

But after meeting Tianze today, Jiang Mo's idea became stronger again.

As for why, he himself couldn't figure it out. Perhaps it was because he remembered how Yan Lingji addressed Tianze as "Master" in the original work...

hateful!

He'd never even heard of it!

"Amo, look what those monsters are doing! Isn't this the stall you mentioned before? Let's go over and see if we can find a bargain!"

The pulling force from his hand brought Jiang Mo back to his senses.

Looking in the direction Yan Lingji excitedly pointed, Jiang Mo saw the foreign merchants he had seen near the guest rooms setting up stalls in a relatively open courtyard, seemingly taking advantage of the gathering of guests from all over the country to sell something.

"Didn't I tell you? He's a merchant from the Central Plains, not a monster."

Jiang Mo corrected Yan Lingji's words, and was somewhat helplessly pulled by her towards the courtyard where a large crowd had gathered:

"Also, a story is just a story~"

"As the saying goes, there is no business without cunning. Merchants know much more about the goods they sell than we do. It's not so easy for them to take advantage of us."

He didn't mean to discourage Yan Lingji.

Jiang Mo hadn't expected things to turn out this way when he told the story to the other party, so he didn't make many changes to the story. He could easily recite the classic plot of Yan picking up bargains after entering the black market.

But they don't have an old man, so how can they easily find a bargain?

However, Jiang Mo himself was also somewhat looking forward to it. Although those merchants said they were just setting up a street stall, they did not seem to be doing it casually. On the contrary, they were quite serious about it.

They didn't just find a piece of cloth to lay on the ground and start setting up a stall. Instead, they sat on beautifully patterned wool carpets, neatly arranged the goods they were going to sell on them, and patiently greeted all customers with very polite smiles.

For some reason, Jiang Mo felt a sense of déjà vu.

It's as if, in some tall tower, as he tirelessly climbs, there's always some unscrupulous merchant sitting on a carpet waiting for his arrival.
