Chapter 1350: Chapter 1149: Bewildered_1 Chapter 1350: Chapter 1149: Bewildered_1 Ren Zhong heard this and looked up at her, then shook his head slightly. “You have little experience in the martial world. There are many ways to kill a person. For example, poisoning our food supplies—that really could bring us down without them having to lift a finger.”
If they rested by the water during their journey, he would always first use an animal to test whether the water source was safe.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai raised her eyebrows. “Don’t worry, we’ll find a ‘Taste Supre.’ We’ll ask ‘Taste Supre’ for supplies.”
“Taste Supre?” Ren Zhong was surprised.
“Of course, ‘Taste Supre’ should be trustworthy, shouldn’t it? Right now, ‘Taste Supre’ is practically my property.”
Ren Zhong “…”
This thod could indeed work.
Since Qiao Xiaomai was so eager to continue their journey, they simply bought a horse carriage and loaded it with more supplies.
Safety first, safety first.
With this in mind, Ren Zhong took Qiao Xiaomai to the ‘Taste Supre’ in Dingzhou.
The shopkeeper of ‘Taste Supre’ was startled when Qiao Xiaomai made a personal appearance.
All ‘Taste Supre’ shopkeepers in different places were trusted followers of Yu Ang. They were aware of the relationship between the Yu Family and the Tong Family. Although these people had never seen Qiao Xiaomai in person, her portrait was widely circulated among them and each one morized it by heart.
Now that Qiao Xiaomai had co in person, requesting supplies and others, the shopkeeper imdiately got busy.
Thus, as they set out on the road again, everyone’s conditions significantly improved—no longer just stead buns for dry food, but cakes and marinated at, and there were even fruits on the horse carriage, as well as so cloth, rain gear, dicine, and so on—indeed, they were provided with enough to support them on a long journey.
As they galloped along the official road, Ren Zhong was thoroughly convinced by Qiao Xiaomai. “Your na really does have a lot of power.”
Simply ntioning her na, the shopkeepers of ‘Taste Supre’ would ask no questions—whatever was requested was given, almost as if sanctioned by an imperial edict.
Hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai smiled. “You should see how much money I’ve made for ‘Taste Supre.'”
Although Ren Zhong was a confidant of Yang Wenxiao, he wasn’t aware of the relationship between the Yu and Tong families. Curious he said, “Logically speaking, the people from ‘Taste Supre’ should hate you. By winning a bet, you took ‘Taste Supre’ away. You’re the arch-enemy of the pri minister.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai gave him a glance. “Let’s just focus on the journey. Stop bringing up pointless topics.”
Saying this, she lowered the carriage curtain.
Ren Zhong “…”
He touched his nose and truly concentrated on the journey as Qiao Xiaomai had said.
They were traveling on an official road, but it was unpaved. Although it was repaired annually, the road was still uneven, and the carriage was so bumpy that Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t do anything steadily.
Nevertheless, bumpiness aside, traveling by carriage was better than by horse. She was not adept at riding, and in these past days, her thighs had been chafed raw by the saddle. Sitting in the carriage was an excellent opportunity to recover.
She clutched the sides of the carriage and stared blankly at the carriage door, her face showing a bewildered and sorrowful expression.
Yes, bewildered.
She was at a loss.
The disconnection this ti had caused her heart to keep sinking. With the future uncertain, she didn’t know what awaited Tong Sanlang.
She dared not think about it, yet she couldn’t control herself from doing so.
Even though Tong Sanlang had high martial arts skills, he was still human, not a god. If there was another poison like the hell flower, undetectable, or if the enemy resorted to the tactics of overwhelming numbers…
Tong Sanlang, that fool, would take anyone at their word, completely led by the nose.
For soone so foolish, what would it an for her if he ran into trouble?
To her, feelings had always been the most important thing. Tong Sanlang had beco part of her life, part of her very being.
If sothing happened to Tong Sanlang, then she…
She truly wouldn’t be able to go on living.
