Chapter 85: Sudden Awakening

  Chapter Eighty-Five: Sudden Awakening

  After breakfast, Su Tang began to pack up her things. There wasn't much to pack, so she neatly stacked all the gold tickets and put them in a bundle, along with the Pei Ling Dan and Wu Hua Ju Ding Dan. She also packed some toys that Xiao Bu Dian liked, such as a round mirror, and divided the half jar of wine into several small pouches.

  The gathering was almost over, and Su Tang felt a bit bored. He pushed open the window and gazed into the distance. Coincidentally, he saw a cavalry troop approaching from afar, with Hu Ge, who had left in discontent an hour ago, among them.

  Su Tang was stunned for a moment, then understood. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, Hu Ge would naturally want to persuade his elder brother to set off as soon as possible.

  When Su Tang saw Hu Ge, Hu Ge also saw Su Tang by the window. His eyes flickered with hostility, and he whispered a few words to the middle-aged warrior beside him. The middle-aged warrior also looked in Su Tang's direction, his gaze equally unfriendly.

  The middle-aged warrior said a few words to Hu Ge, and Hu Ge smiled repeatedly, seemingly apologizing.

  Soon, the Hu brothers walked past from the street below, in the middle of the vehicle fleet there was a horse-drawn carriage. As it passed by, the door of the carriage suddenly opened, and a disheveled woman with bloodstains all over her body struggled to climb out of the carriage.

  The woman's hands were tied behind her back and her mouth was gagged, but that wasn't the worst of it. Her tattered skirt revealed a pair of small legs nailed to a wooden beam.

  A large hand reached out and grabbed the woman's hair, pulling her back. In that split second, Su Tang suddenly saw a familiar face, his breathing stopped abruptly.

  The woman seemed to have come to her senses, struggling while turning her gaze this way. The next moment, she was stunned, immediately lowered her head and stopped resisting, allowing the large hand to drag her back into the carriage.

  Su Tang remained motionless as the convoy slowly passed by from below, until it disappeared into the distance of the street, and Su Tang's figure remained unchanged.

  Others saw Su Tang and found nothing wrong, but Xiaobu's sense was very sensitive. It sat on the pillow, staring blankly at Su Tang, seemingly a little scared.

  Don't you want me to recognize you... Do you know that you've provoked a very formidable opponent? Su Tang suddenly smiled, but... I still owe you twice!

  So, you're actually a remnant of the Temple of Extermination... No wonder when I mentioned Mo Yun Ridge, you seemed so familiar!

  Su Tang slowly walked back, reached out and pulled the rope on the wall, and a bell sound came from outside.

  Soon, the hotel attendant pushed open the door and smiled: "Mr. Xiao, is there anything to instruct?"

  "Get me a map of the villages around Bajiao City, the more detailed the better. Also, prepare two fast horses for me." Su Tang took out two gold tickets worth 100 faces each and placed them on the table: "The rest is yours."

  That fellow walked over, picked up the gold ticket on the table, and was suddenly stunned, he almost didn't dare to believe his eyes.

  "Is there something wrong?" Su Tang asked.

  "Don't worry!" The fellow, as if suddenly awakened, shouted: "Mr. Xiao, rest assured, I'll go right away."

  Su Tang nodded.

  That fellow turned around and walked away, took a few steps, then remembered something, turned his head and said: "Mr. Xiao, outside..."

  "What's going on outside?"

  "Room 3 just checked in two guests, but... I found that they seem to be staring at you all the time."

  "Alright." Su Tang took out another gold note worth 100 and placed it on the table: "A reward for you."

  Money can often easily solve many things, that fellow is already so happy he's almost fainting, he must find the most detailed map and the best fast horse, otherwise it would be unforgivable to Mr. Xiao who has rewarded him repeatedly!

  After the partner left, Su Tang sat in the room for more than an hour before slowly walking out of the door. Xiao Bu Dian had already cleverly snuggled into Su Tang's arms, knowing that "Mom" was extremely angry right now and it was absolutely not the time for it to throw a tantrum or play around.

  As I walked out of the room, at the other end of the long corridor, there were indeed two burly men standing there. They seemed to be engaged in a heated conversation about something, but their eyes kept drifting over this way from time to time.

  Su Tang walked out of the inn, strolling along the long street, with the two burly men following far behind. Their expressions looked very angry, because Su Tang had clearly promised Hu Ge that he wouldn't leave the room door, and now he was going back on his word, which might possibly ruin their big plan.

  After walking for almost ten minutes, Su Tang turned into a small alley and walked to the end of it. He pushed open a gate and entered a courtyard where a brother and sister were chatting and laughing while operating a small stone mill.

  The moment he stepped into the yard, Su Tang's face was already covered with a ferocious mask and a wide cloak. His outfit made him look like anything but a good person. The little sister let out a shrill cry and slowly backed away. Her brother bent down to pick up a wooden stick, mustering up his courage to block Su Tang's path: "Y-you... what do you want? This is my home, don't..."

  Su Tang pulled out a golden ticket from his left hand and handed it to the brother, saying coldly: "Take your sister back home and no matter what happens outside, don't make any noise. Otherwise, I will make you become like this stone mill." As soon as he finished speaking, Su Tang drew out the Da Zheng sword, and with a flash of the sword light, the stone mill was split into two segments, crashing to the ground, making a dull thudding sound.

  Su Tang had been using all his will to control himself, and at this moment, he had suppressed it to the extreme. A cold and eerie aura was spreading out from his body, and the black cloak was slowly expanding. In the eyes of the siblings, the world they were familiar with seemed to be shrouded in darkness.

  Although the brother was afraid, he was a little clever and looked at the golden ticket in his hand, grasped it tightly, turned around to support his sister, and walked into the house.

  Outside the alley, the two men parted ways. One cautiously made his way into the alley, while the other turned around and rushed towards the inn. He wanted to leave Ba Mian Cheng immediately and catch up with Young Master. That surnamed Xiao was not a reliable person, he had to remind Young Master to be on high alert.

  The man who had slipped into the alley walked and stopped, finally arriving outside a small courtyard. He quietly climbed up onto the wall and looked inside, when suddenly a hand reached out and grabbed his collar, pulling him over the wall.

  The big man was shocked, stretched out his hand to touch the dagger at his waist, and the other party reacted extremely quickly, using something to lightly tap on his wrist, he could even hear the sound of his own wrist bone breaking, and immediately let out a miserable howl.

  "I want to know something, understand?" A cold voice said: "I ask what you answer."

  "I'm going to...!" The big man opened his mouth to curse, but suddenly felt something hard hit his leg, and it kept hitting him several times. Each hit brought him a heart-wrenching pain. By the time it stopped, he found that his leg had completely changed shape.
