Volume 1 Big Shot Chapter 5 On the way to Jiangnan
May 7th, sunny.
It was midsummer, the sun was blazing and the weather was hot.
Su Weiyun is catching the car.
Sitting in the car were Tian Sisi and her personal maid Tian Xin.
There was also a large box of miscellaneous items behind the car, including clothes, embroidery bags, mirrors, makeup boxes, incense burners, chess boards, kettles, tea sets, washbasins, bedding, pillows, scarves, jewelry, gold and silver... and even a bed!
This doesn't feel like a trip, it feels more like moving.
Su Weiyun had objected, but Tian Sisi insisted that things used by outsiders were "unclean", so she had to bring everything that might be used.
Of course Su Weiyun couldn't win against Tian Sisi, or rather, after spending a few months together, he had already learned a wise lesson: never argue with a woman.
Especially the eldest daughter, Miss Tian, is unreasonable and no one can ever argue with her.
So they chose the largest and most spacious carriage in Jinxiu Villa and barely managed to fit all these things in it.
Su Weiyun felt that this had its advantages. At least when many people saw this huge carriage, they would know that the person sitting inside was of high status and not someone they could afford to offend, thus saving a lot of trouble.
…
May 8th, sunny, cloudless sky.
The road from the Central Plains to the south of the Yangtze River is not easy to travel, but the colorful scenery along the way is something that Tian Sisi, Tian Xin, and Su Weiyun have never seen before.
So Tian Sisi and Tian Xin can still maintain a cheerful mood.
Su Weiyun practiced swordsmanship during his rest time - when he was leaving, the old butler believed that fists and palms could not stop swords and knives, and insisted on giving him a fine steel sword.
Zhang Hong also took advantage of the situation to curry favor with the young lady by giving Su Weiyun a common copy of "Six Harmonies Sword Technique".
Tian Sisi told Su Weiyun not to just focus on practicing martial arts, but to take more care of the two weak women.
"Look around to see if there are any clean inns or restaurants nearby. Stop showing off your knives all the time."
"If I don't concentrate on practicing with the sword now, how will I be able to defeat the robbers when they come?"
"Don't you know that showing off your martial arts skills will only attract covetousness? This is the advice I, an old martial artist, give to a young man like you. Besides, if you can't win, don't you still have me, Miss?"
…
May 10th, sunny.
The weather was good for three consecutive days. Su Weiyun enjoyed the sunshine very much, but Tian Sisi could not stand it anymore. She yelled at Su Weiyun to find a bowl of iced lotus seed soup for her.
"The ice doesn't have to come from the Tianshan Mountains outside the Great Wall, but the lotus seeds must be fresh."
"This is a desolate mountain area. Where can I find frozen lotus seeds?"
Su Weiyun had no choice but to take out some green plums brought from Jinxiu Villa and share them with the two of them, and then continued driving.
…
It was still sunny on May 15th.
Su Weiyun suddenly realized that they had taken the wrong road, and following the route "directed" by Tian Sisi, they made a circle and came back.
This undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Tian Sisi once again.
The three of them had finished eating the food they brought, and Tian Sisi became more and more irritated, but she was unwilling to admit defeat and still insisted on going to Jiangnan.
But the journey to Jiangnan is still a long way.
She asked Su Weiyun to go to a mountain spring three miles away and scoop a basin of cool spring water for her to quench her thirst.
Tian Sisi kept complaining.
"I'm so hungry."
When Su Weiyun heard her talking, her stomach growled.
Su Weiyun said: "I'm also very hungry, but there is no restaurant nearby, what should I do?"
Tian Sisi asked, "How far is the nearest town from here?"
Su Weiyun said: "I don't know."
Tian Sisi asked, "How could you not know? Then what use would I have for you?"
Su Weiyun stopped talking.
He is being tolerant.
Being tolerant when you should be tolerant is not cowardice but a virtue.
Especially for a woman, a willful and capricious young lady who has never traveled far.
…
May 16th, sunny.
Su Weiyun drove the carriage all night and finally saw a large town.
Although it was not a water village in the south of the Yangtze River but a town in the Central Plains, in the eyes of Tian Sisi and the other two, it looked more beautiful than before.
Tian Sisi immediately asked Su Weiyun to drive the carriage to the town.
The largest teahouse in town.
Hundred episodes building.
Tian Sisi and Tian Xin couldn't wait to go upstairs and ordered seven or eight signature dishes and two pots of good tea.
Su Weiyun handed the carriage to the waiter, then carried her bag and slowly went upstairs.
Then he saw a man with a rat-like face standing upstairs, talking to Tian Sisi.
"My name is Iron Arm. Are you two gentlemen familiar with this city?"
Tian Sisi was usually too lazy to pay attention to this kind of street villain, but in order to show her "old hands" demeanor, she also said in a pretentious tone: "I'm not familiar with it, I've only been here a few times."
Tiebingbi said, "Then you two must be very familiar with Boss Zhao. I am Boss 's brother."
Tian Sisi said: "I can't say I'm familiar with him, I've only met him a few times."
Iron Arm continued to blow all over the sky in a fancy way.
When Tian Sisi saw Su Weiyun going upstairs, she blinked at him, as if to say that the person in front of her had no idea that they were women disguised as men.
This was a rare experience for her, and she obviously found it extremely interesting.
Su Weiyun stared at the iron arm and frowned.
If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
Besides, he really didn't believe that these people couldn't see that Tian Sisi was actually a woman.
Even a three-year-old should be able to see it.
Sure enough, Tiebinger talked for a long time, and suddenly picked an opportunity, snatched the package that Tian Xin had placed on the table, turned around and ran away.
Su Weiyun was about to step forward to stop him, but there was someone next to him who was faster than him.
The man grabbed Tie Bu's collar and pushed him in front of Tian Sisi, saying, "I am an ignorant little brother. I have offended the two gentlemen. Please forgive me."
Tian Sisi was shocked at first, but when she saw the package being sent back, she pretended to be calm, as if she had known this would happen. She cupped her hands and said, "May I ask your name?"
The man had a long scar on his face, but he was dressed in a stately manner. He said, "My last name is Zhao. I am honored by my brothers in the city. You can call me Boss Zhao."
Tian Sisi asked, "So you are Boss Zhao?"
Zhao Laodao said: "My brother is ignorant, please don't take it to heart. It's up to you whether you want to punish him or not!"
Tian Sisi waved her hands and said, "How can I, your Excellency, bear grudge against a villain..."
Before she finished her words, Su Weiyun came up and asked inexplicably: "Are you serious?"
Boss Zhao hadn't realized that this question was directed at him. He was stunned for a long time before he said, "Yes."
Su Weiyun suddenly raised his fist and hit Tiebi's face hard with a "bang"!
"ah!"
Tiebing covered his face with his arm, fell to the ground, and stepped back in panic.
Su Weiyun has been eating a balanced and nutritious diet and exercising every day for the past four months. His body is no longer the hungry and pitiful boy he was four months ago, and he is now quite strong.
Iron Arm stood up by holding onto the wall , and his nose began to bleed.
Boss Zhao's expression changed a little.
"Brother, what do you mean? My men stole the things of these two young masters. What does it have to do with you..."
Su Weiyun interrupted him and said, "We are from the same group."
Before Boss Zhao could say anything, Tian Sisi scolded him, "Su Weiyun, you came back. They have kindly returned the things to you. Why did you still attack them? Do you have any magnanimity like a hero?"
Su Weiyun shook his head and said, "If the old butler were here, I'm afraid he would have to chop off one of his hands!"
As he spoke, he touched the knife at his waist.
Although he had only practiced martial arts with the old butler for a few months, he was definitely no match for these street thugs.
Zhao Laodao said: "Don't be shameless!"
He had obviously practiced Kung Fu, and when he punched, he used the "Black Tiger Heart-ripping" move from the Shaolin boxing.
Although the attack was launched from a slightly off position, the force was quite strong.
It was not the first time that Su Weiyun had fought against someone. He did not panic. He turned sideways, made his hands into claws, and rushed forward, just in time to grab Boss Zhao's wrist.
This is exactly the "Eagle Claw Kung Fu" he learned from Tian Sisi.
Boss Zhao was startled and tried to retract his hand, but he felt that he had no strength left. He yelled and kicked out, aiming at Su Weiyun's lower abdomen.
Su Weiyun used his left palm to gently push his hand away, then pushed his right palm forward, secretly using the "Hongfeather Taishan" palm technique taught to him by the old butler.
Boss Zhao's legs fell to the ground before they even touched Su Weiyun's body. He then quickly got up and ran away in disgrace.
On the second floor, there was complete silence.
Su Weiyun turned around and said to Tian Sisi, "Look, if he really had good intentions, why would he attack me?"
Tian Sisi said: "If you hadn't attacked others first, how could others attack you?"
Su Weiyun sighed and said, "If I were to encounter such a thing, I would certainly be able to endure it, but I must ensure your safety!"
"Do you think I'm a young lady who knows nothing?"
Tian Sisi looked at the frightened and scared eyes of the people around her. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She thought that Su Weiyun was preventing her from making friends in the martial arts world, and she said angrily, "Get out, get as far away as you can!"
Su Weiyun was very helpless and sighed repeatedly in his heart.
"If I weren't your bodyguard and wanted to protect you, I would have left long ago without you having to tell me."
Su Weiyun not only accepted the bodyguard duties of Jinxiu Villa, but more importantly, he also had a fateful mission ordered by Jianghu Su.
If the mission fails, he will face the crisis of being "erased", so he has to swallow his anger and stay.
Fortunately, Tian Sisi was more concerned about her reputation and didn't want to show her temper in the teahouse. With Tian Xin persuading her, she sat down and ate her meal in silence.
Seeing this, Su Weiyun thought for a moment, then suddenly called the waiter in the store, took out a silver ingot from his pocket, and said to him, "I'll ask you something. If you tell the truth, this silver ingot will be yours."
The waiter was startled and immediately replied, "Okay, sir, you go ahead."
Su Weiyun pointed at Tian Sisi and Tian Xin and asked, "Are the two people in front of you male or female?"
The waiter hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes... they are two young ladies."
Su Weiyun laughed and threw the silver to him: "What do you mean by 'female master'?"
The waiter said, "It's just a lady from a wealthy family who dresses up as a man to have fun."
Not only could he tell that Tian Sisi was a woman disguised as a man, he could even tell that she must be a lady from a wealthy family.
After hearing this, Tian Sisi and Tian Xin put down their chopsticks, staring in astonishment.
They stared at the waiter in shock, not understanding why their true identities were revealed.
