Volume 4: The Rise of Wuji Dao Chapter 23: Strategy for conquering a female hero?
Originally, Su Yan did not want Wu Yue to escort the young man in brocade clothes, because he noticed with his spiritual sense that the man had a strange look in his eyes just now, so he was either a bad person or a cunning person.
But when he heard about the thousand-year-old ginseng, he was moved.
Although this world has more natural treasures than the world of Smiling Proud Wanderer, because there are more innate warriors, they are more scarce and valuable.
According to Su Yan's experience, a thousand-year-old ginseng can be worth one hundred thousand taels of silver. If it is auctioned publicly, the price can rise by another twenty or thirty thousand taels.
Wu Yue was also moved.
She also knew the usefulness of this kind of rare treasure to half-step innate or even innate warriors.
"Let's not talk about Senior Sister Su Yi, Fu Xuan, and Min Xuelou. If Master can take this thousand-year-old ginseng, maybe his body will be able to return to normal soon."
Just at this time, Su Yan also sent a message asking him to agree.
Wu Yue nodded slightly and said, "Then it's settled. I'll take you home, and you'll give me a thousand-year-old ginseng and ten thousand taels of silver."
"Thank you, lady!"
Hearing Wu Yue's agreement, Young Master Jinyi was overjoyed and thanked her again, but he was thinking in his heart: This girl is so eager for thousand-year-old ginseng, she must not be from Donghua Palace or Tianchi Sect, not even from a first-rate sect.
But her martial arts skills are quite strong. She should be able to protect me and return to Gu County safely, right?
Then, the young man in brocade clothes stood up and asked two servants to drive a carriage each, and invited Wu Yue to ride with him.
The Donglin Pharmacy caravan had seven carriages, but except for one that belonged to the young man in brocade clothes, the other six were large carriages carrying some common medicinal materials.
Now, not only had several of the vans been damaged, but there were only two servants left who could drive, so they could only take two vehicles with them.
Wu Yue did not refuse the invitation to ride with the young man in brocade clothes, but pointed at the woman's body and asked, "Don't you need to bury the bodies of your subordinates?"
The young man in brocade clothes sighed, "Lady, I also want to collect their bodies and bury them properly, but time waits for no one.
Many people from the Thirteen Linked Docks escaped just now. If we delay here, I'm afraid they will soon bring more troops.
Even if the female knight is very skilled in martial arts, it will be difficult to defeat the enemy with more people. It is better to wait until we return to Gu County and send someone to collect their bodies."
"Who is that woman to you?" Wu Yue asked again.
"She was my maid Lian'er. Unfortunately, she was kidnapped during the siege by bandits and was humiliated in public..."
Before the young man in brocade clothes finished speaking, he saw Wu Yue walking to Lian'er's body.
She saw her long sword coming out of her body, and the invisible true energy was poured into the sword body. She stabbed the sword at the side of the road, and the sword turned into a blurry sword shadow, and the soil exploded.
When the dust cleared, a shallow pit was revealed.
Then, Wu Yue found a cloak from the wrecked carriage, wrapped Lian'er's body in it, and placed it in a shallow pit.
Then he used the wind from his palm to move the loose soil to bury it, and then he boarded the carriage of the young master in brocade clothes and said, "Let's go."
The young man in brocade clothes sighed, "The lady is really kind and righteous. I am ashamed."
Wu Yue's expression could not be seen clearly under the black veil. She said calmly, "It's not about being kind and righteous. We are both women, and I don't want her body to be exposed in the wilderness like this."
The young man in brocade clothes felt embarrassed again.
Because Wu Yue was so different from the young women he had met in the past, he had no idea of her temperament.
Only after the carriage started running under the drive of the servants and left the official road where corpses were scattered and blood was flowing, did the young man in brocade clothes speak again.
"I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Li Jinyang, and I'm the young master of Donglin Pharmacy. I wonder what your name is, and who your master is?"
"Wu Yue."
Li Jinyang was slightly stunned, then asked with a smile: "I wonder if this is the name of the heroine, or the sect from which she learned?"
"name."
There is no mention of sect, either because the person is a wandering wanderer without a sect, or because the sect is so famous that no one wants to mention it.
If he was a disciple of a famous sect, he, the young master of a pharmacy, would not dare to even dream about it.
But if she is a wandering wanderer or a disciple of a small sect with a small number of members, he can try to win her over and maybe win her heart.
Thinking this in his mind, Li Jinyang became even more enthusiastic towards Wu Yue.
However, he did not take any immediate action. After all, he was surrounded by danger and might lose his life if he was not careful.
As long as Wu Yue sends him back to Gu County safely, he has plenty of ways to keep him.
Li Jinyang looked at Wu Yue's veil out of the corner of his eye, his mind in turmoil, while Wu Yue sat upright, not saying a word.
Just like that, after the carriage had traveled more than three miles, she suddenly said, "If Master Li wants to get to Gu County safely, we'd better abandon the carriage and take other small roads instead of the official road."
Upon hearing this, Li Jinyang couldn't help but slap his forehead and said, "I was confused. Thank you for your reminder, lady."
Immediately, Li Jinyang asked two servants to stop the carriage.
Then the three of them each packed a piece of luggage, whipped the horses a few times, let them run along the official road by themselves, and the three of them went into the woods beside the official road.
While on the road, Li Jinyang did not forget to flatter: "The heroine is really smart. If we still take the carriage on the official road, we will probably be easily surrounded by the large group of bandits from the Thirteen Linked Docks.
Now that we are few in number, it will be difficult to be discovered if we take other routes.
Even if Thirteen Links sends people to search, only a few people will encounter us at first."
Wu Yue didn't respond, and Li Jinyang felt a little embarrassed again.
One of the servants was quite clever and said, " Though those carts of herbs are not as valuable as ginseng, they are still worth tens of thousands of taels. The young master said to throw them away, but most people don't have the courage to do so."
Li Jinyang smiled and said, "It's just a few carts of ordinary medicinal herbs. Compared with ginseng, it's nothing. Even if you spend all your money, you can get it back."
While speaking, he glanced at Wu Yue again, hoping to see something through the black veil.
It’s a pity that there will never be another breeze to lift the veil.
If you want to pass through Pingling and Dunqiu and take a horse-drawn carriage along the official road, it will only take one or two days.
But if you walk, and choose to walk on country roads where there are not many people, the speed will be slow.
Of course, if Wu Yue was traveling alone with Li Jinyang and his three servants, she could make it through the journey in one day by using her lightness skills.
After traveling for half a day, although Wu Yue didn't talk much with Li Jinyang, she had figured out the strength of the three people.
Although Li Jinyang practiced martial arts, he didn't know whether it was because of his poor physique or lack of effort, as he was only at the third level of acquired martial arts at the age of twenty-something.
His two servants, on the other hand, are both at the fourth level of the acquired realm, but their skills are very average. It is estimated that they cannot even defeat the older disciples of the fourth generation of Wuji Dao.
Fortunately, Li Jinyang had been well protected before and was not injured. The two servants also only suffered some minor injuries. Although they were not walking fast, they were not a burden.
As it was getting dark , Li Jinyang felt extremely tired and just wanted to find a soft big bed to lie down.
Even if you can't, at least stop to rest, make a fire, heat some dry food and water, fill your stomach and warm your body.
Seeing that Wu Yue was walking steadily on his way with no intention of stopping, he secretly touched the servant.
These two servants have been following Li Jinyang for many years and understand him very well. They know that their young master must be tired, but they don't want to speak out and expose their inability to endure hardship.
After exchanging glances, one of them stopped, leaned against a tree and said, "Oh, I'm so tired, sir, shall we take a break?"
Another person also stopped and said, "Yes, we have been walking for a long time. I am tired and hungry now."
Li Jinyang did not take the opportunity to pretend to scold the servant to show off, because he really couldn't figure out Wu Yue's temper and was afraid of backfiring.
So, he looked embarrassed and said to Wu Yue, "Miss Wu Yue, what do you think?"
