On the way, Shen Rui and Tang Bing changed into brand-new clothes in an inconspicuous town. When Shen Rui saw the handsome Tang Bing, he couldn't help but said: "Miss Tang, you should wear something ordinary. This one is too conspicuous, wait until someone tries to get your idea."
Tang Bing blushed and said, "It's okay. I just have to be careful on the road."
Shen Rui knew that she loved to be beautiful, so he had no choice but to say nothing. He took out a small bag from his arms and said, "These are yours."
Tang Bing felt strange. When she opened it, she found that among these things were things like hair buns, rouge, and jewelry. They were all things she had asked about the price of at the Chamber of Commerce. It turned out that Shen Rui had secretly bought them for her. She felt that There was a feeling of warmth, knowing that he was interested, but no one had ever given her anything in the past, so she couldn't help but say: "Thank you."
Shen Rui had followed her all this way and had never heard her say a single kind word. Now that he heard her say thank you, he felt warm in his heart and said hurriedly: "These are just small things, not valuable."
Tang Bing held back the excitement in his heart and said, "It's getting late, let's go."
After eight or nine days of walking day and night, this morning, the two finally arrived outside Qianding City, the capital. The two found a place on the top of a mountain to come down. After sending away the Cloud-Crossing Falcon, Shen Rui said to Tang Bing: "This is the empire. There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the capital, you have to be careful and don’t let anyone recognize you as a woman, otherwise I won’t be able to save you.”
Tang Bing rolled her eyes at him and said, "So what if I recognize him? Do they dare to do it in broad daylight?"
Shen Rui said: "You have forgotten Linchuan City. They may not dare to do it in the city, but it is not necessarily the case outside the city where there is no one."
When Tang Bing heard this, he felt a little panicked and asked, "What should we do?"
Shen Rui proudly took out the mustache he had prepared from his arms and said, "It will be much safer if you put this on it."
When Tang Bing saw it, she was a little reluctant, but thinking that Shen Rui's words made sense, she had no choice but to nod and let Shen Rui help her apply it. Shen Rui touched her face here and there, but it didn't apply well. Tang Bing said angrily: "You're looking for death, why don't you hurry up?"
Shen Rui hurriedly helped her apply it. Seeing that her scolding this time was obviously much gentler than before, he couldn't help but feel a little proud. The two walked down the mountain. Shen Rui looked back at Tang Bing from time to time. After putting on a beard, she looks older and she is no more handsome than herself. Thinking that when the two of them are together, her rate of turning heads is no longer as high as mine, I feel happy.
The two of them slowly descended the mountain. When they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, it was already broad daylight. They met more and more people, but most of them were people wearing alchemist costumes. They were in groups of three or five, and they were obviously here to participate in the alchemist conference. The two of them mingled in the crowd and walked towards the capital. Shen Rui was using his mental power as he walked. His purpose was to find out information about the Alchemist Conference. Sure enough, not long after, Shen Rui heard two alchemists coming. Talk about things he cares about.
"I heard that this alchemist conference is bigger than ever before."
"It's not the same. Every time I talk a lot of nonsense and then it ends. If the snacks weren't delicious, I wouldn't want to come."
"This year is different. I heard that the president of the Imperial General Guild and the four elders will come?"
"What? This is impossible? In previous years, one of them would preside over the meeting."
"What's impossible? Let me tell you, there will be a big sensation this year?"
"What's the big deal?"
"I see you, you sit in the guild all day long and you don't know what to eat and you don't understand anything. This year, the main guild will elect a fifth elder, so the main guild and the four elders will be here."
"Oh, who is so lucky to become the fifth elder?"
"Look, you are ignorant again. The main guild only has one elder, and this year there are two fifth-grade alchemists competing for this seat. You are lucky to have two beauties."
"Hurry up and tell me who it is, I can't wait."
"One is Miss Chun Yuzhu from Luofeng Mountain. I heard that this family has a great business and her family is one of the best in Luofeng County."
"Oh, I have heard of this woman, but I heard that she is not coquettish and cruel. It would be bad luck for another alchemist to argue with her as an elder. Who is the other one?"
"She is Hong Dou, the most beautiful woman in the alchemist world. She is a genius in the alchemist world. I heard that she is only eighteen years old."
"Well, although Hongdou is the most beautiful woman in the alchemist world, she is too arrogant and has offended many alchemists. This time her opponent is the sophisticated Chun Yufeng. It seems that her chances are not good."
The next words the two of them talked about were comparing Chun Yufeng and Hongdou, who had a more beautiful face, who had bigger breasts, and other things that were even more offensive, but Shen Rui didn't listen to them.
Shen Rui told Tang Bing what he had just heard. Tang Bing was stunned. He didn't expect that Shen Rui had already found out the matter so clearly before entering the city.
After the two of them followed the others into the city, Shen Rui found a remote shop to stay. The capital had long been dominated by alchemists, and even such a remote shop was almost full of people. Shen Rui and the two entered the shop.
At that time, there happened to be only two rooms in the store.
Shen Rui frowned and said to Tang Bing, "What an unfortunate time to come."
Tang Bing said strangely: "Aren't there exactly two rooms? How could it be such a coincidence?"
Shen Rui sighed and said, "Wouldn't it be better if there was only one room."
The two went upstairs and saw that their rooms were connected together. Shen Rui was relieved. Although Tang Bing was stronger than her, he had no experience in living outside. If they were not together, he would be really worried.
After looking around the room, I saw that although the store was a bit small, the environment was not bad. Although the room was simple, it was well-organized.
A few minutes after the two entered the room, they heard footsteps outside, and someone called anxiously: "Two guests, please come out."
Shen Rui heard the voice of the shopkeeper, opened the door and asked: "Shopkeeper, what can I do?"
Tang Bing also opened the door from the house and looked at the shopkeeper strangely.
The shopkeeper chuckled and said a little sheepishly: "You two gentlemen, I have something to tell you."
Shen Rui said: "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't ask your mother-in-law or mother."
The shopkeeper said: "Sir, as you know, there will be a pharmacist conference in a few days. Now almost all the shops in the city are full of people. Can you two live together and free up a room for others?"
live."
Shen Rui turned around and smiled at Tang Bing, then turned back to the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, what does it have to do with you not being able to live in the city? Do you think I don't pay enough?"
The shopkeeper trembled for a while and said with a smile: "Sir, you have misunderstood. It is indeed a girl who came downstairs. She said that she had searched several hotels but could not find a place to stay. I saw how pitiful she was, and then I remembered that you two happened to live separately. I only have one room, so I came to ask you, hoping that you can help a bunch of people."
Shen Rui laughed loudly and said: "You old man, how honest are you? You obviously received more money than us, but you come here to pretend to be a good-hearted person and do this to me."
Tang Bing glanced at Shen Rui in surprise. He didn't expect that this kid was quite shrewd. He didn't know that Shen Rui was away all year round and had seen this little trick before.
The store manager blushed and said: "The store usually does not do well, but this time there are so many people. It is human nature to want to make more money."
When Shen Rui heard about it, he smiled and said: "I can't give up the room. How much money does she give you, I will give you twice as much. Do you think this is good?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Sir, you are such a good person. I will return the money to her immediately."
Suddenly, a woman's voice came coldly: "Shopkeeper, if you accept my money, you have to do things for me, otherwise I will be rude to you."
