Moonlight and wind

Chapter 240 Passing by

"It seems that Shan Zimo has not been caught yet!" Dao Sheng got off the carriage at the notice board at the city gate and found the one for Shan Zimo among the densely packed bounty notices. He walked along the carriage and saw Shan Zimo getting off the carriage and followed him.

With a loud bang, a black shadow flashed past her eyes, hit the wall of the shop behind her heavily, and fell down again, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Dao Sheng covered his mouth and nose, fanned the dust in front of him, walked to the black shadow, squatted down and checked.

"He's not dead yet," Dao Sheng thought to himself, grabbing his pulse, "but his internal energy is wasted!" He stood up and continued to walk towards the Yi-Yi Hui.

"Master!" Dao Sheng squeezed to the side of Yijianhui, and seeing his regretful expression, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you? What happened?"

"Oh! I missed a great show!" He would beat his chest and stamp his feet. "A supernatural being just left the arena. I didn't see it. What a pity!"

Suddenly, the spectators around him shouted excitedly, "Master Hong! Master Hong!"

These shouts exploded in Dao Sheng's ears, "Could it be him?" Dao Sheng pushed through the crowd and continued to walk towards the ring, but he found nothing. At this time, Shan Zimo had already left with Butler Ye.

"There's nothing to see today. Let's go. The others are waiting for us in the inn!" He immediately went up to find Dao Sheng and urged her to leave together.

Under Yuwen Lin's arrangement, everyone bathed and changed their clothes, and the ready-made clothes from the most famous tailor shop in Hefeng Town were brought to the inn for Xuanyue and others to choose from.

An hour later, everyone appeared in the private room with a new look. The delicacies were ready, making Li's mouth water. Everyone sat down and ate without any restraint.

"It's really an eye-opener!" The diners in the private room next door were talking loudly, "That Qi is shining with golden light. Someone who knows about it said that it's the middle level of Qi!"

"You can't judge a person by his appearance!" said another customer. "Who would have thought that such a skinny body could contain such a strong inner strength!"

"That's right, the Su family has really found a treasure!"

"It's a waste of talent for him to be the head guard of the Su Mansion!" The guest disagreed, "With his martial arts ability, it's not too much for him to be a guard in front of the Emperor!"

"Who are they talking about?" Li, whose mouth was full, squeezed out a sound, "He sounds very powerful!"

"Alas!" He looked regretful again, "I didn't catch up! I just saw him throw his opponent out. From that throw, his martial arts power is at least at the Martial King level!"

After leaving the arena, Shan Zimo and Shan Boyu followed Butler Ye to the Su Mansion. This Su Mansion was indeed magnificent!

Every part of the mansion shows its wealth and status, and exudes an extraordinary demeanor. The gate is made of fine nanmu, with carved beams and painted rafters, and a golden lacquered plaque hangs on the lintel - Su Mansion. Entering Su Mansion, it is completely different from the courtyards in the north. There are rockery and flowing water, winding paths, exotic flowers and plants, pavilions and towers, and elegance is everywhere.

Under the guidance of Butler Ye, Shan Zimo and his companions walked through a winding road and came to a courtyard. In the courtyard there was a butler's building, surrounded by rows of servants' rooms.

"You two stay here to wash up, take me back to report to the master, and then take you to see the master." Butler Ye smiled and pushed open the butler's small building, invited the two to come in, and told the little girl to serve. In an incense stick of time, Shan Zimo and the other changed into gray coarse cloth shorts and long pants, tied a simple bun at the back of their heads, and looked energetic!

"You two, Butler Ye is waiting in the hall. Please follow me." A little girl with her head lowered ran over to greet the two of them, and they followed her out of the butler's building.

A three-story attic appeared in front of Shan Zimo. He looked up and saw that the roof was covered with glazed tiles, which sparkled brightly under the sunlight. The main body of the house was carved with auspicious clouds and auspicious beasts, which looked lifelike. When he stepped into the hall, the decoration was even more luxurious and elegant, with famous calligraphy and paintings, rare antiques, and everything else.

"Tsk tsk tsk!" Shan Boyu couldn't bear to watch! "In comparison, the young master's Longyin Garden is simply not worth mentioning!"

Shan Zimo's mouth twitched slightly and he rolled his eyes.

In the hall, Butler Ye stood aside. In the middle, on the unique official hat chair sat a middle-aged man, wearing a brocade robe embroidered with elegant landscapes. His hair, mixed with a few white strands, was gently tied up and bound with a jade hairpin. His face revealed a calm and elegant look.

"Master Hong, Master Guo," Butler Ye introduced, "this is Master Su!"

"I am Hong Qigong!"

"I am Guo Jing!"

"Please take a seat! No need to be polite!" Su Yuanxiu gently raised his hand and motioned for the two to sit down. "I have heard from Butler Ye that you two are both heroes in the martial arts world, and your martial arts skills are amazing! Now that I see you two are so young, you really have a bright future!"

"Thanks to Mr. Su for taking us in. We are grateful!" Shan Zimo said politely.

"I know that a merchant family like ours cannot keep talented people like you two, but I still have an unreasonable request. I wonder if you two can agree to it?" Su Yuanxiu asked with a smile.

"Mr. Su, please feel free to speak." Shan Zimo responded with a faint smile.

"I have a guard team in my house. Some of them were brought back by Butler Ye from the arena, and some of them volunteered. But I don't have a reliable warrior in my house who can help me sort things out. Now the guards are very lazy and often quarrel among themselves, which really annoys me." Su Yuanxiu smiled helplessly, "Master Hong, can you help me screen them in the next two days and keep the real capable ones?"

"Master," Shan Boyu whispered in Shan Zimo's ear, "This is an offensive job!"

Su Yuanxiu saw the two's concerns and said with a smile, "After the matter is done, I am willing to give you two ten thousand taels as travel expenses!"

When Shan Boyu heard that number, he felt every hair on his body stand up! He leaned over Shan Zimo's ear again and whispered anxiously, "Master, answer it!"

Shan Zimo was almost laughing at Shan Boyu's anger, "You are really a money-grubber! Well, we don't know when we will meet the master and others, we can't sleep in the open anymore." Thinking of what happened a few days ago, Shan Zimo quickly shook his head, trying to forget the unpleasant experience.

"Okay! I promise Master Su!" Shan Zimo's lips curled up slightly, "But you have to follow my requirements!"

"Everything will be arranged by Master Hong!" Su Yuanxiu was overjoyed. He stood up from his official hat chair, walked to Shan Zimo, looked him up and down, nodded frequently, and was very satisfied.

"Then tomorrow morning, gather the guards and give it a try and we'll know!"
