Chapter 811: Fighting for Favor

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Xiaoxiao was counting the herbs. The army was going to Borken North Pass, and there would definitely be casualties in the war. She had taken all the medicine in the pharmacy, but she still needed a large amount of anesthetic boiling powder and golden sore medicine. Wuhu flew in and landed on her table, shaking the snow off its feathers.it “Don’t wet my herbs,” Su Xiaoxiao said to it.

It swaggered forward and exchanged information for bird food with Su Xiaoxiao.

A word of information for a bird’s meal.

“Looking for something! Looking for something! Looking for something!”

“The repetition is only one sentence.”

Wuhu was speechless.

Wei Xu’s things, the incomplete map, the border of Northern Yan.

Su Xiaoxiao counted that after three and a half sentences, and gave it four pieces of bird food.

Qin Canglan went to order the troops. Wei Ting and Su MO had just come from the injured camp. At this point, the show was over.

Su MO immediately let go without hesitation.

Wei Ting suddenly lost his support and staggered in an extremely sorry state. “Do you want me to fall to my death?”

Su MO snorted.

He came to Su Xiaoxiao’s side. “Do you need help?”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and said, “Just put the herbs on the table into the bamboo basket.’

Wei Ting also came over to help.

He spread the cut oil paper to prevent snow and moisture.

The three of them divided the herbs, laid out the bamboo basket, and stored the herbs. The division of labor was clear, and the efficiency increased.

While distributing the herbs, Su Xiaoxiao told him the information that Wuhu had obtained.

The three of them were actually not surprised that Leng Ziling would not assassinate Helian Ye. Putting aside Leng Kui’s attitude, this was an impossible mission. The Leng family would not let Leng Ziling take the risk.

It was not that the Leng family doted on Leng Ziling, but Leng Ziling was the sharpest killing tool in the Leng family. It was a pity to lose it to Helian Ye.

What really surprised the three of them was the last two pieces of news—Wei Xu had left his belongings at the border of Northern Yan. The Leng family had been searching through a fragmented map.

“What relic is it? Do you have any clues about this?” Su Xiaoxiao asked Wei Ting.

Su MO also looked at him.

Wei Ting shook his head with a complicated expression. “I wasn’t at the border at that time. I don’t know what Father did.”

Su MO asked, “Do you have any clues from your brothers?”

Ghostfear, Wei Qing, and Wei Liulang might not know that Wei Xu had left behind a relic, but they might be able to extract some clues from their last interaction with Wei Xu.

Wei Ting said, “Eldest Brother and Second Brother are in the southern border now, so it’s very difficult to contact them. I’ll send a pigeon to Second Brother later and ask him about Father.”

Su Xiaoxiao pondered and said, “Something that the Leng family hasn’t given up on after searching for a few years must not be an ordinary relic.”

Su MO frowned. “The Leng family is too greedy.”

After snatching the Wei family’s military power, they actually wanted to pocket Wei Xu’s belongings.

“There’s something I can’t figure out. Why did your father leave the relic in

Northern Yan?”

Wei Ting replied to Su MO, “I want to understand too.”

Back then, after Wei Xu was killed by Helian Ye, he was thrown into the ice volcano and his body was not even recovered.

If they could find Wei Xu’s belongings, it would be a comfort to everyone in the Wei family.

“I’m done packing the herbs,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

Wei Ting called Yuchi Xiu over.

Yuchi Xiu was still angry that he didn’t let him kill Qi Sheng. He asked angrily, “What?”

Wei Ting pretended not to see his emotions. “Leng Ziling is going to Northern

Yan. I’ll give you a new mission.”

The light in Yuchi Xiu’s dim eyes gathered. “Do you want me to kill him?”

Wei Ting said, “Keep an eye on him.” Yuchi Xiu’s face darkened.

“Do you remember that I’m a killer?”

When Su Xiaoxiao brought Jing Yi and Fu Su to Feng County to buy rations, she also bought a lot of herbs. Some of the herbs were given to her at that time, and some needed to be transferred from other places. The pharmaceutical dealer originally didn’t want to give them to her and asked Su Xiaoxiao to wait until after the new year. The pharmaceutical dealer only agreed after Su Xiaoxiao increased the price.

Previously, she did not know that they would come to the barbican. She told the medicine merchant to send them to Zi Town.

Counting the days, they should pass by the relay station on the ten-mile slope today. To the north was the barbican, and to the east was Zi Town.

Wei Ting and Su MO accompanied Su Xiaoxiao to get the goods.

The three of them waited at the courier station for about an hour before the

pharmaceutical merchant’s carriage arrived. There were a total of ten carriages of herbs, two of which were already made into golden sore medicine and anesthetic boiling powder.

Su Xiaoxiao checked the goods one by one. Although this pharmaceutical merchant charged high prices, the quality was top-notch. Su Xiaoxiao was quite satisfied and paid for the remaining half of the medicine. “Please send it to the barbican camp.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely send it for you!”

The pharmaceutical merchant did not dare to neglect the business of the military camp.

Su Xiaoxiao and the other two got into the carriage.

Their carriage was faster than those of pharmaceutical merchant’s and walked in front. However, their direction was a little off.

Su Xiaoxiao lifted the curtain. “This isn’t the way back to the military camp.”

Wei Ting said coldly, “Doesn’t someone want to eat roast duck?”

Su MO looked at Su Xiaoxiao. “Did you want to eat roast duck? Why didn’t you tell me?”

The eldest cousin expressed that he was hurt.

Su Xiaoxiao was at a loss. “I don’t think I said that.’

Wei Ting snorted. “You kept talking about it in your dreams.”

Su Xiaoxiao cleared her throat. She seemed to have dreamed of a lot of food.

She looked at the cold street. “It’s the new year. Is there a shop selling roast duck?”

Of course not.

Wei Ting asked Yuchi Xiu to search through the barbican and finally found a chef from a restuarant who made roast duck.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the restaurant. The door was ajar.

The three of them got out of the carriage and the fragrance of roasted duck assaulted their noses. Su Xiaoxiao instantly swallowed.

Wei Ting brought the two of them upstairs and asked for a room facing the street.

Not long after they sat down, a freshly baked roasted duck was served by the waiter.

The roasted duck was fried first before braising. After it was marinated, it was roasted over the fire. The oil on the outer skin was roasted into a layer of crispy skin, and it was smeared with sweet honey and sprinkled with white sesame.

It was salty and sweet, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. When she took a bite, the honey and gravy exploded in her mouth. It was indescribably delicious and satisfying.

Su Xiaoxiao ate it bite by bite. Even if she had lost weight, she still had a round face. When she ate, her cheeks were puffed up, making her look like a little squirrel eating seriously.

A certain someone said, “Roast duck is better than walnuts, right?”

Su MO wanted to say, “Come out and fight!”

On the second floor of the inn opposite, a girl in a pink cloak pushed open the window a crack. “Uncle Han, look! It’s those two people!”

The middle-aged man called Uncle Han walked over and looked in the direction she was pointing.

The girl said, “I didn’t get it wrong, right? It’s the person who snatched the Snow Domain Hemp from us on Heavenly Mountain! Eh? The third person has changed.”

Instead of Jing Yi, it was now Su Mo.

That day, the two of them were tired from traveling and looked a little disheveled. Wei Ting had even grown a beard. Now, the two of them were neat and tidy. Wei Ting’s face was like jade, and Su Xiaoxiao was also beautiful.

Something flashed across Uncle Han’s eyes..
