I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 141 Fu Jun'er, I'm in need of a maid

Seven days later.

The two appeared on the street again.

As the old saying goes, clothes make the man and saddles make the horse.

After changing her clothes and getting some water to nourish her skin, Wei Zhenzhen looked even more beautiful and noble.

Wei Zhenzhen asked softly, "Master, where are we going now?"

During these few days, she did almost nothing else. First, she found a cloth shop to make a new set of clothes, then accompanied Shen Lang to purchase a manor and add some daily necessities. All these things took only one day.

In the following days, apart from going out to eat and going around, I spent most of my time doing that.

She was tortured to the point of near death many times, and even almost thought she was going to die.

However, now that she has become a concubine bought by Shen Lang, she naturally dare not say a word of complaint.

"Let's walk around first." Shen Lang replied. He didn't have a clear goal at the moment.

He did learn some underworld news these days, but unfortunately, none of the information was useful to him.

For example, he doesn’t know where Li Xiuning is or where Shan Wanjing is.

Just as he was walking on the street with Wei Zhenzhen, suddenly, a large group of soldiers and officers escorted a dozen prisoners past them.

A long rope tied them together tightly, and each of them shouted loudly about their injustice.

But the people around applauded and cheered to show their support.

One of them shouted loudly: "These hooligans and petty thieves should have been arrested long ago!"

"Yeah, the old hen in my house must have been stolen by these people."

"These people are thieves and they deserve what they get."

"..."

Looking at the indignant expressions of the people around him, Shen Lang asked curiously, "What's going on?"

"I heard that someone stole something valuable, so the garrison commander, Lord Chen, ordered the city gates to be closed immediately and all the thieves and thugs to be arrested," someone else explained.

Shen Lang nodded: "It seems that it is indeed a remarkable thing, otherwise there would not be such a big fuss."

"That's right. Lord Chen didn't care about these guys before." The man whispered, "But if we take this opportunity to arrest them, it will also allow the people to live a good life for a few days."

Seeing the soldiers taking the people away, the onlookers gradually dispersed.

Wei Zhenzhen asked, "Master, where are we going now?"

"Let's go eat something first." Shen Lang said, "By the way, do you have any beautiful sisters who are struggling because of poverty? As the old saying goes, if you are poor, you can take care of yourself; if you are rich, you can treason the whole world. Although I am not rich, I can still provide you with a home."

Wei Zhenzhen thought about it and finally shook her head: "Perhaps none of them are as beautiful as you say."

Hearing that there was no pretty one, Shen Lang immediately gave up on that idea.

"Then go and eat."

While eating, Shen Lang learned from the merchants stranded there that the garrison commander had already opened the city gates, and he did not plan to stay in Yangzhou.

He was preparing to enter the capital. It was rumored that Empress Xiao was an extremely beautiful woman with a beauty that could overwhelm a country. He had to go and see her.

Apart from Wei Zhenzhen, there is nothing else to bring.

So after dinner, the two of them went out and headed to the pier to catch a boat.

But the ship slowed down when it reached Danyang City. This is the largest city upstream of Yangzhou City. It is the only way to go from inland to Yangzhou City and then to the sea. Its importance is second only to Yangzhou, and it is also the place where boatmen purchase supplies.

But when they were about to set off, they found that the ships were turning back.

After some inquiries, they learned that it was the rebel army of Li Zitong from Donghai, who had just crossed the Huai River, formed an alliance with Du Fuwei, defeated the Sui army, and sent an army south to attack Liyang.

The boatmen were worried that the Yangtze River waterway traffic would be cut off, so they decided to wait and see.

But when the water route is blocked, it is wise to take the land route.

Just like what he did to Wei Zhenzhen.

We immediately hired a caravan in the city, rested for a night and then traveled by land.

The next day, just after dawn, the convoy set off.

You have to set off early, otherwise you won’t be able to travel very far in a day.

Shen Lang had martial arts skills and didn't feel tired for the time being, but when he saw Wei Zhenzhen was still drowsy, he carried her into the carriage and let her sleep for a while.

Wait until dawn.

When Shen Lang saw Wei Zhenzhen wake up, he began to practice.

When the battle was in full swing.

"Shut up!"

"Shut up!"

Several gasps came from the convoy, and then the carriage under them braked suddenly.

"oops!"

Wei Zhenzhen screamed and her body leaned forward due to inertia.

Fortunately, Shen Lang was a martial arts expert and pulled him back.

"Ah! Hiss!" Wei Zhenzhen screamed in pain and gasped this time.

It was because Shen Lang's shot was too accurate this time, hitting the target directly, which made Wei Zhenzhen feel a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Just bear with it for now." Shen Lang comforted him, "It will be fine in a while."

Then he shouted out of the car, "Ah Fu, what's going on? Why did you stop the car so suddenly?"

"Master, someone is stopping the car outside." Ah Fu replied, "It's two boys, begging us to save their mother."

Upon hearing this, Shen Lang said, "When you're out and about, you should be kind. If someone is in trouble, save them if you can. It's not a big deal to delay them for a while."

As she spoke, Wei Zhenzhen slowly moved her body.

Then there was a 'pop' sound.

She felt relieved.

"Young Master, you don't know. That woman was seriously injured," Ah Fu replied. "The old man said she was injured by a master. I'm afraid even a god wouldn't be able to save her."

The old boss is the leader of the team. He is in his forties and has some martial arts skills.

"Even a god can't save her?" Shen Lang saw that Wei Zhenzhen was also a little weak, so he said, "I'll go out and take a look. You take care of yourself first."

Wei Zhenzhen nodded gently, "Master, be careful. I will wait for you to come back."

Shen Lang changed his clothes and got out of the car.

I saw a woman in white lying on the side of the road, with a boy beside her crying loudly, and a boy of similar age was kneeling in front of the convoy, blocking the road.

"Boss, what's going on?" Shen Lang asked when he saw the boss shaking his head.

The old man shook his head. "Their mother was severely injured by a master. She has no chance of survival. It is too late to save her. Even the gods cannot help her."

"Even a god can't save her? Let me see." Shen Lang stepped forward. The boy kneeling on the ground blocking his way hurriedly wiped the tears from his eyes with his sleeve and pleaded in a sobbing voice, "I beg you to help me, sir. Please save our mother! She's been beaten."

He stared at Shen Lang with anxious and expectant eyes, as if waiting for a glimmer of hope.

"Is it so serious?" Shen Lang frowned slightly, then walked over and took a closer look.

The woman in white looked quite young, with an extremely beautiful face, yet extremely pale, as if she would disappear into thin air at any moment.

The crying boy beside her, seeing Shen Lang coming, kowtowed like a chicken pecking at rice, muttering, "Sir, please save my mother. I beg you to be so kind and righteous and help me. I kowtow to you!"

The voice was full of desperation and begging.

"Okay, okay, don't bother me. Let me take a look at the situation first." Shen Lang waved his hand, squatted down, and carefully took the woman's pulse.

The woman shook her head with difficulty, a trace of deep despair flashing in her eyes. She said weakly, "I have no hope of survival. Even if my master came here in person, he couldn't save me. Please don't waste any more time. Just let me talk to my two sons..."

"Although your master couldn't come in person, you're lucky today." Shen Lang smiled slightly and said, "We in the martial arts world are always straightforward. If I saved your life, wouldn't you repay me with your body? I just happen to be in need of a capable maid."

The woman shook her head slightly, a firm look flashing in her eyes as she said, "Please let me talk to my sons. I, Fu Jun'er, will be grateful to you."

After saying this, she closed her eyes and waited quietly for the final moment.

Seeing this, Shen Lang didn't want to force it anymore and immediately stood far away.

With his hearing ability, he could hear what they said even from such a distance.

The two boys hugged Fu Jun'er and cried loudly.

Fu Jun'er said slowly, "After mother dies, you can bury me here. Mother likes solitude, so you don't need to come here to pay your respects to her in the future."

Hearing this, they cried even harder, hugged her tightly, and soaked her collar with tears.

Fu Jun'er's expression remained calm as she spoke softly, "My mother came all the way from Korea this time intending to assassinate Yang Guang. However, she knew that he was surrounded by numerous experts within the palace, so she was forced to rely on her Qing Gong skills to escape twice. So, she decided to reveal the treasures she had obtained from Yang Gong's treasury to the Jianghu, so that you Han people would kill each other. However, she happened to encounter you."

The two boys didn't seem to take the matter to heart and just kept crying.

Fu Jun'er stroked their hair tenderly, her movements gentle and loving, as if she wanted to pass all the warmth to the children in front of her.

She continued slowly, "I went to Yangzhou to look for Shilong because our spy carefully placed there, Yu Wenhuaji, learned that Yang Guang had sent him to look for Shilong, so I went to investigate. However, I never expected to run into my two sweet babies here."

Having said this, she paused slightly, and the blood color on her face seemed to gradually fade away, and her face became paler and paler. The pallor seemed to be the coldest frost and snow in winter, covering her face.

"Mom, don't talk, heal your wound first." One of the children said anxiously, his eyes full of worry and reluctance.

"Yes, mother, we are still waiting for you to teach us martial arts. You will definitely get better." Another child also echoed.

Fu Jun'er shook her head gently, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

"Mother can't hold on any longer. I had so much more to say to you, but now I remember how fate plays tricks on me. It's like I didn't say anything at all. I wonder if people can gain spiritual insights before they die. Suddenly, I have a strong feeling that my two sons will be extraordinary people in the future. You must remember this and never let me down!"

Hearing this, the two raised their heads sadly, their eyes filled with tears, and cried out in sorrow, "Mother! How could you abandon us like this?"

The crying sound echoed in the air, like the saddest melody, piercing the hearts of everyone present.

Fu Jun'er suddenly let out a shrill cry: "Then, the treasure house is at Yuema Bridge in Kyoto..."

However, her voice was suddenly interrupted, as if it was abruptly cut off by something.

The hand that was stroking their heads slowly slipped away and fell to the side.

The two could no longer control their emotions and burst into tears. Their cries were sobbing and expressing endless sorrow and despair.

"Mother! Mother!"

"Mom! How could you bear to abandon us?"

Many people in the convoy felt sorry for this scene.

But life and death are determined by fate, and we can only sigh.

Just a moment later, the two children cried so hard that they fainted one after another.

Shen Lang picked up Fu Jun'er who was lying on the ground and told the old headman, "Find a place here to build a fake grave and make it look more realistic."

Seeing him carrying the woman towards the carriage, the old boss was a little confused. Could it be that the young master wanted to take advantage of the opportunity?
But it was not easy to ask this question, so he quickly called people to come and build a new grave.

Ah Fu asked quietly, "Old Master, isn't that woman dead? What are you planning to do, young master?"

Someone also whispered, "Yes, old man, isn't there already a woman in the young master's car? Could he be..."

Before he could finish his words, a stone hit his butt.

Shen Lang said coldly: "Dare to say bad things about me behind my back, next time I won't just kick your ass, dig your grave!"

No one dared to talk nonsense and hurried to find a place to build a new grave.

Even if I don't know why I do it.

Seeing Shen Lang carrying Fu Jun'er into the carriage, Wei Zhenzhen also asked suspiciously, "Master, is she still alive?"

"If she had met someone else, she would have been dead, but today she got lucky and met me." Shen Lang said, "Didn't I tell you that I am a man of both literary and martial arts, a man of extraordinary talent?"

Wei Zhenzhen shook her head.

Shen Lang then instructed, "I'm going to treat this girl's injuries now. If the old headman and his men have dug a grave, tell them not to tell the two children, because the one who injured this woman is a master. They must train well so that they can take revenge later."

"Yes."

The old boss and his men built a fake grave. Worried that the two children would not be found, he took them to the new grave.

There was no name on the tombstone, only Fu Jun'er's sword.

Then the carriage set off.

After walking for more than two hours.

The people in the convoy became more and more suspicious, wondering whether Shen Lang would do something to that woman in the car.

Because a woman's scream was heard again in the car.

But then I thought, that woman is dead, there is no way she could scream.

What exactly is going on?

Everyone was confused, but they didn't dare to ask, or even talk about it.

Just hurried on in silence.

Fu Jun'er was awakened by Wei Zhenzhen's moans.

After she opened her eyes, she was still a little confused and didn't know where she was for a moment, but she could hear the constant moans in her ears.

As soon as he turned his head, he met Shen Lang's gaze.

Shen Lang wasn't very busy right now, because Wei Zhenzhen was in control, so he still had time to talk: "Miss, how are you feeling?"

"I'm not dead?" Fu Jun'er was full of doubts, because she was hit by Yu Wenzhi's full-strength punch, and the icy energy almost killed her.

But now, apart from feeling a little weak all over his body, there is no sign of serious injury.

"I already told you that you're lucky today." Shen Lang said, "Zhenzhen is a little tired, so you can take over."
