Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 250 Feng Xiuyuan, Master of Andu Hall

Zhu Liuxiang looked at Zhou Shixun and said with a confused expression.

"Oh, and there's a girl with him, named Xiao Si? Around twenty years old, highly skilled in martial arts?"

“That’s right, that girl should be close to the ninth rank, not much worse than my inferior disciple Qingxuan.”

Zhou Shixun shook his head after listening. He seemed to have guessed something, but he hadn't received confirmation and dared not say anything at the moment.

"Alright, Daoist Master, it's getting late, you should go back and rest early too."

Zhu Liuxiang bowed to Zhou Shixun and his group, then vanished into the night.

After Zhu Liuxiang left, Eunuch Wei immediately came over.

"Your Majesty, do you suspect...?"

"Hmph, if Shiji really does such a heinous thing, even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, I, Zhou Shixun, will tear him apart and skin him alive."

After saying that, a warm picture flashed through Zhou Shixun's mind.

But then his eyes turned cold.

"Old Wei, issue the order to apprehend these Tongtian Cult members with all our might. Arrest anyone with that sun tattoo on the back of their neck."

Eunuch Wei accepted the order and left.

Zhou Shixun sat alone in the Imperial Study, muttering to himself, "Little Four... Little Four."

Meanwhile, on the road from Qingyun City to Andu City...

A fast horse was pulling a carriage, galloping towards Andu City.

Inside the carriage, Xiao Si looked at Chi Yanfei and said, "Young Master, must we really run away?"

"Hehe, if things can't be done, then let's look for an opportunity elsewhere."

After saying that, Chi Yanfei patted Xiao Si's head and said, "You should get some sleep. The journey is long and will take several more days."

"Young master, you are so good to Xiao Si!" Xiao Si said before falling asleep in the carriage.

Chi Yanfei looked at the girl in front of him, and he felt a mix of emotions.

After a long silence, he uttered a sentence: "Hehe, you've grown up in the blink of an eye!"

After saying that, he drew back the curtains and stared blankly at the dark night sky outside, seemingly feeling an indescribable desolation.

It wasn't until eight days later that a carriage finally arrived in Na'an City, covered in dust.

The carriage went straight into an alley.

At the alley entrance, Chi Yanfei and Xiao Si got off the carriage and took out a huge silver ingot to hand to the coachman.

The two then walked into the alley following the route marked with a moon symbol.

The two arrived in front of a house, and Xiao Si stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Da, da da".

A moment later, the gate opened, and a man who looked like a servant came out carrying a lantern.

Immediately afterwards, they welcomed the two inside.

Inside the house, a figure, having received the message, arrived at Chi Yanfei's side, looking travel-worn.

"Feng Xiuyuan, the head of the Andu branch, greets the sect leader and Little Fourth Miss."

"Alright, get up. Let's find a room for Xiao Si to rest first."

Feng Xiuyuan quickly got up, beckoned a female follower, and led Xiao Si toward a side room.

He stood respectfully in front of Chi Yanfei.

"Master Feng, you've worked hard, please have a seat!"

Chi Yanfei waved to Feng Xiuyuan and said with a smile.

Upon seeing this, Feng Xiuyuan immediately sat down to the left of Chi Yanfei.

Tell me about the situation in Andu.

"Reporting to the leader, Andu currently has more than three thousand followers, all of whom are highly skilled in martial arts."

"The previous Tang family has been destroyed, and now a new Shi family has risen. The head of the family is called Shi Qingshan, and it seems that he has some connection with Chu Chen of Qingyun."

"Currently, the city lord Mu Zheng has monopolized the refined salt business in the entire Andu."

Chi Yanfei chuckled after hearing this.

She thought to herself, "It's Chu Chen again. How come I always seem to get involved with him no matter where I go?"

However, this Shi Qingshan is connected with Mu Zheng, so if we were to take action against him, all of us would inevitably be exposed.

Even if Xiao Si is highly skilled, who can say for sure that Mu Zheng doesn't have any experts around him?

"Alright, let's wait and see. In the days to come, tell the brothers not to make any rash moves. The Zhou family might take action against them."

When Chi Yanfei saw Zhou Shixun arrive at Mashan Village, she knew that her arrival in Daxia could not be kept secret.

Although Zhou Shixun might not be able to find him for the time being, it's still quite possible that he'll cause trouble for his followers.

However, for him, it was already good enough that he could remind these people.

Feng Xiuyuan bowed to Chi Yan, beckoned someone over, and gave the orders.

"Alright, it's getting late, I need to go and rest too."

"This way, Master!" Upon hearing this, Feng Xiuyuan quickly led the Master to a main room.

He then stepped back and instructed the two men to guard the door at all times.

He turned and walked out of the house.

The next day, Feng Xiuyuan carried several boxes of gifts and headed towards the mansion inscribed with the name of the Shi family.

"Oh, Brother Feng, why were the magpies chirping so loudly this morning? It turns out it's because Brother Feng has graced us with his presence."

The servants in the house led Feng Xiuyuan to Shi Qingshan.

Shi Qingshan warmly welcomed them.

"Brother Shi, I have nothing to do today, so I came to bother you. Please don't take offense."

"Haha, Brother Feng, you're too kind. Quickly, prepare a feast. Today, we'll drink until we drop."

While being polite, Shi Qingshan gave instructions to the servants behind him.

"Brother Shi, you are too kind. I would be impolite to refuse."

As Feng Xiuyuan handed the gifts to the servants, he sat down next to Shi Qingshan.

Before long, the two were chatting like old friends.

Then, the servants brought out a table full of food and wine.

"Brother Shi, with such a sumptuous feast, wouldn't it be a waste for just the two of us?"

He then added, "I've heard that you have a very good personal relationship with Lord Mu. Why don't you introduce him to me?"

Feng Xiuyuan spoke enthusiastically, but his hands never stopped moving.

He casually poured wine for Shi Qingshan.

"Haha, City Lord Mu is very busy right now, I'm afraid he will have to disappoint Brother Feng today."

"Oh, Lord City Lord is truly busy with countless tasks every day. He is indeed a good city lord of our Andu."

Feng Xiuyuan chuckled, raised his glass, and drank it all down with Shi Nian Qingshan as he spoke.

After a few drinks, he spoke again, saying, "The city of Andu is stable and prosperous, thanks to the city lord's dedication and hard work."

"Hehe, it's nothing. I heard that the Eighth Prince may be coming to Andu City soon. The City Lord must be busy welcoming him."

Shi Qingshan was a little confused by the early morning drinks and blurted out something without thinking.

Feng Xiuyuan pretended to be nervous after hearing this: "What? The Eighth Prince is coming? That's a big deal. We merchants have all received imperial favor, so we must go and welcome him."

After saying that, Feng Xiuyuan revealed an imperceptible smile.

Meanwhile, Zhou Heng, far away in the capital, suddenly shuddered: "Huh, could it be that my sworn brother is talking about me again?"

Feng Xiuyuan poured another cup of wine for Shi Qingshan: "Brother Shi, you are on good terms with City Lord Mu. Could you please ask for the exact date so that we can admire the Eighth Prince's demeanor?"
