After getting back on the road, Su Lingfeng and others' team encountered two more attacks. In just seven days, they fought four battles!
Except for the first attack in Dilan Valley, which was a group of Western Australian mainlanders disguised as mainland China, the other three were local mercenary or bandit groups.
The confessions of the prisoners were consistent, they were all tasked to hunt down two fugitives from the Caelia Empire.
Seeing Su Lingfeng's pretty face getting darker and darker, Bivis felt more and more uneasy and guilty, and he became even more silent.
There was no time for rest, and Beavis also specifically asked Phyllis to speak as little as possible, so as not to make Miss Su unhappy.
Although Felice is naive, she is not really stupid. Of course, she also understands that the troubles the team encountered on the road were caused by her and Bevis, so she wisely stopped pestering Su Lingfeng to talk.
She only spoke when Lingfeng asked her something.
Fortunately for Bivis and Phyllis, although Su Lingfeng looked bad and her maids and guards became less and less interested in seeing them, they still did not open their mouths to expel them from the team.
They followed the team and were relatively safe.
If Su Lingfeng no longer cares about them and lets them go on their own, I really don't know if they can reach the Da'an Imperial Capital alive.
After the fourth attack, the team never encountered another enemy attack.
Maybe it's because we are getting closer to the capital of Da'an, and those people don't dare to act blatantly.
The team traveled for nearly a month, and near noon on the twenty-sixth day, they finally entered Changrong Town, a small town closest to Shengdu, the imperial capital of the Da'an Kingdom.
Su Lingfeng ordered the team to stop advancing and said to Xiao Mingliang outside the car: "Buy a clean hotel in the town and let the team rest!"
"Have a break? Is it lunch?" Xiao Mingliang hesitated and asked in confusion. There is no need to book a hotel for a lunch break, right?
"No, let's rest here for a few days." Su Lingfeng said calmly.
"Ah?" How many days of rest?? Xiao Mingliang suspected that his ears heard it, and asked as if to confirm: "Miss, do you mean to stay in Changrong Town for how many days?"
"Yeah." Su Lingfeng nodded.
"But..." Xiao Mingliang became even more puzzled, "It's still half a day's journey, and we can reach Shengdu..."
Even Xiaodong and Xiaoxia who were beside Su Lingfeng looked at Su Lingfeng in surprise.
"So what?" Su Lingfeng asked coolly: "Are you in a hurry to return to Su's house?"
"..." The corner of Xiao Mingliang's mouth twitched, and it took him a while to hold back a few words: "Subordinate, don't be in a hurry."
Xiao Minglang, Xiao Xia, and Xiaodong finally understood that their eldest lady's awkward temper had begun to cause trouble. She didn't want to enter the Su family's door at all, and she could hang out for as many days as she could.
Xiao Minglang and others naturally did not dare to have any objections to Su Lingfeng's order and quickly followed her instructions.
Soon, the team of more than 20 people settled down at a Ruyi Hotel in the east of the town.
Su Lingfeng took a comfortable hot bath, changed into clean clothes, and ordered Xiaoxia to call Beavis and Felice over.
Xiaoxia responded and went out to call for someone. Soon, Bivis and Felice followed Xiaoxia to Su Lingfeng's room.
Xiaoxia hurriedly retreated behind Su Lingfeng, standing on one side of Xiaodong behind Su Lingfeng, wiping her wet hair.
"Sit." Su Lingfeng said to Bivis and Phyllis with a calm expression.
Bivis quickly pulled Phyllis to sit on the chair opposite Su Lingfeng.
Felice stared blankly at Su Lingfeng. She had always thought that she was beautiful, but Su Lingfeng was prettier than her. Especially now after taking a bath, she looked so fresh and refined that even she, a woman, couldn't bear to look away.
Eye.
Bivis, on the other hand, lowered his head slightly in a reserved manner, with a slightly red complexion and a beating heart. He did not dare to look at Su Lingfeng at all.
"We will soon arrive at Shengdu, the imperial capital of Da'an. What are your plans?" Su Lingfeng said calmly.
"Of course we are going to join the elder we are looking for!" Phyllis spoke quickly and rushed to answer.
Beavis pursed his lips and said nothing, sighing secretly in his heart.
Su Lingfeng is a person who doesn't like to talk in circles, so he directly stated the purpose of coming to them, "You must also know that our team will rest in Changrong Town for a few days. It is only half a day's journey from Shengdu.
There is absolutely no need for you to delay your trip here with us. I think we can just leave here."
Felice blinked her green eyes and asked puzzledly: "Since this town is only half a day away from the imperial capital, why are you wasting your time here? Isn't it better to rest after entering the city?"
Su Lingfeng had a faint smile on her delicate face, but what she said was direct and did not save anyone any face, "Miss Felice, this seems to be our business and has nothing to do with you."
"Uh..." Phyllis was choked and speechless.
Beavis said quickly: "I'm sorry, Miss Su. Phyllis is an outspoken person. Please don't take her words to heart."
Phyllis curled her lips slightly. Beavis said that she was like an ignorant child, which made her feel a little dissatisfied. Of course, she didn't want to express this dissatisfaction.
"Of course, I didn't take it to heart." Su Lingfeng said.
"Thank you very much for your help, Miss. These days, we have brought a lot of trouble to Miss's team. We feel very sorry about this. If we have the opportunity in the future, we will definitely repay Miss's kindness."
Bevis pulled Phyllis to stand up and saluted Su Lingfeng solemnly.
Su Lingfeng was not a polite master, so he nodded immediately and said, "If you want to repay your kindness, I'm always welcome. If you have any trouble, don't come to me."
"..."
"..."
After hearing Su Lingfeng's words, Bivis and Phyllis twitched the corners of their mouths and became speechless at the same time...
Xiaoxia, who was behind Su Lingfeng, covered her mouth with her hands and almost couldn't make a sound out of joy. Even Xiaodong lowered his head and pursed his lips, trying hard to hide the smile on his lips.
After Bevis came to his senses, he said again: "Then, Phyllis and I will say goodbye. Please take care of yourself, Miss Su."
Su Lingfeng had just issued an eviction order, so they were naturally embarrassed to stay in the team, and they really wanted to enter the city as soon as possible.
"Well, walk slowly, I won't send you away."
When she reached the door, Phyllis suddenly turned around and said to Su Lingfeng: "You are a good person. Although your attitude towards me cannot be called friendly, I will still miss you."
