Chapter 121: Shouxiang Construction Site
"My lord, stay!"
in the house.
Seeing that Su Xing was about to leave, Sister Lin hurriedly said: "My family is helpless in Shanglin. Even if I redeem myself, I have nowhere to go. I don't know if I can..."
"Can't."
Su Xing knew what the other party was going to say, so he refused decisively: "I'm used to walking alone, so it's not convenient for me to take you with me."
Sister Lin said: "The slave family can take care of your daily life. If you are really in danger, you can just leave the slave family behind."
Do you actually have this awareness...
Su Xing thought about it carefully and felt that it would be much more convenient for him to have a maid to serve him when he was out, so he nodded in agreement: "If you encounter danger, within the scope of what I can solve, I can keep you safe...
.But if I can’t even protect myself, then I won’t take care of you.”
Sister Lin said matter-of-factly: "That's for sure. If it were me, I would do the same thing."
It seemed to be to dispel Su Xing's worries.
She thought for a while and explained to herself: "No matter what, it is better to follow the adults than to stay in Jiaofangsi, otherwise in another year and a half, I will have to pick up guests like the other sisters...
.”
"That's true. If you hang out with me, at least you can have wine and meat, and you don't have to look at other people's faces."
Su Xing nodded and asked: "But there are so many patrols outside now. It's no problem for me to go out of the city alone, but how are you going to get out?"
"My lord, just help persuade the madam. The inspectors outside dare not stop me."
Sister Lin explained: "The guards and inspectors in the city didn't dare to stop the sedan our Miss Jiaofang was riding in."
This explanation is not difficult for Su Xing to understand:
Almost all sedans leaving the Jiaofangsi are related to a certain big shot in the city.
Moreover, adults generally don't want to be too public about a place like this with fireworks, and they don't want the guards in the city to conduct strict inspections.
As time went by, the guards naturally no longer strictly inspected Jiaofangsi's sedan chair.
As for the Madam's side, it's easier to solve.
After meeting Su Xing himself, the other party didn't even dare to ask for the life span to redeem Sister Lin, so he just let her go...
The next day.
Soon, the news of Su Xing's destruction of the 'Shou Eye' spread throughout the city, and even the surrounding villages and towns in Shanglinli learned the news.
At noon that day, wanted notices with Su Xing's portrait were posted in every corner of Shanglin.
at the same time.
The popularity of "Martial Arts Myth Fan Kang" is also unparalleled in the entire Shanglinli area.
Everyone in the martial arts world knows the name of "Fan Kang, the Myth of the Martial Arts".
According to gossip.
Shortly after Su Xing disappeared in Shanglinli, Taoist masters rushed to the city to investigate the 'Battle of Xue Mansion' and the 'Destruction of Longevity Eye'.
Some people said that Su Xing had accidentally died in the hands of that master.
Some people also said that Su Xingxing had gone to a remote and uninhabited place to hide from the world and live in seclusion to avoid being pursued by Taoists.
In short, "Martial Arts Myth Fan Kang" is like a flash in the pan, and has disappeared from the world since then...
…
Half a month later.
Nanfanbuzhou, Wangcheng.
After leaving the eastern area of Nanfangbuzhou, Su Xing followed the previous convoy heading south, and soon reached the boundary of the royal city.
Maybe it's because of Taoism.
Su Xing traveled with the caravan within the boundaries of the royal city for four or five days, but he never saw anything too powerful.
Occasionally, one or two low-level monsters would appear, and the warriors accompanying the convoy could easily deal with them without Su Xing taking action.
With everything going smoothly, the caravan quickly arrived near the gate of the royal capital.
Before entering the capital, Su Xing saw a huge eyeball statue standing in the royal capital from a distance.
Although the world has never seen the indescribable body of "Shou", they have seen the image of "Shou", which is the huge eyeball.
So, this is actually a giant ‘Shou Statue’.
At first glance, this eyeball statue is nearly one hundred meters tall at least.
If it were placed in the era before Su Xing traveled through time, it would be equivalent to a twenty-story high-rise building.
Nanfangbuzhou's productivity is relatively backward. To build such a giant eyeball statue must have consumed countless manpower and material resources.
Obviously.
It is simply impossible to build such a statue in the royal capital alone.
It's no wonder that An Lan and others from the Shadow Pavilion in Shanglin complained that the Taoist sect collected too many supplies.
I don’t know what the purpose of such extensive construction is...
In addition, like other towns in Nanfangbuzhou, there are also wanted notices for Su Xing and other important criminals posted outside the gate of the royal capital.
Among them, Su Xing's portrait was placed in the most conspicuous position.
However, because Su Xing used the mirror magic weapon to change his appearance, the inspector guarding the city could not see any clues.
The prosperity of the royal capital is many times that of Shanglin.
After paying the entry fee, as soon as Su Xing entered the capital, he heard shouts and shouts coming from both sides of the street.
A little further away, the women in the Jiaofang Department were smiling and leaning on the withered railings.
They were either pretending to be dignified, or they were joking with regular customers, creating a lively scene.
Looking at this prosperous scene that he had never seen before, Lin Qing said excitedly: "Sir, are we going to live in this royal capital permanently?"
"I may not live there permanently, I have to take a look first before saying anything!"
…
At the same time.
In the royal capital, on the unfinished ‘Shou Statue Construction Site’.
Looking at the Taoist steward not far away who was having an affair with a beautiful woman, Tiannu felt an unknown anger rising in his heart.
Different from ordinary craftsmen on the construction site.
As a slave, Tianwu works on the construction site of the 'Shou Statue'. Although he can receive regular food and lifespan, he does not receive any compensation.
For a day's work, slaves could only receive one day's life and one day's worth of food, and it was impossible to get even a little more.
Tianwu has had enough of this life.
He had never committed any crime at all. It was only because the aristocratic family wanted to annex his family property that a large number of unfounded charges were imposed on him.
After a lot of twists and turns, he was sent to the royal capital to build the 'Shou Statue'.
Tianwu admitted that this 'Shou Statue' was indeed magnificent and tall, but it had no practical effect on the common people.
Oh, no.
He is no longer a commoner, but a slave.
Tianwu couldn't figure out why the Taoist sect would use a lot of resources to do such things that wasted people and money.
Wouldn't it be better to pay more attention to those at the bottom and encourage the common people to grow more food?
However, if that's all it is.
Since arriving in the royal capital, Tianwu has seen countless high-level officials like that Taoist sect official who engaged in prostitution during the day.
It didn't matter that these people were eating the best food and enjoying the most beautiful women, but they still had to be seen with his own eyes.
Since you have thrown me into darkness, why should you let me see the light?
I hate it....
Don't know why.
