It was not that Su Xiaoxiao had never considered hiding the brocade bag, but after thinking about it, she could not hide it at all. Wei Ting was with her at all times. If she took action, he would definitely notice.
However, it was not so easy to uncover the truth about the head of the secret service.
“Alright, let’s not talk about this.” Su Xiaoxiao got back to the topic. “Is Phoenix Town the town we’re going to soon?”
“Yes,” Wei Ting replied. “We’re almost there. Change your clothes.”
Su Xiaoxiao opened the bag. “That’s right. We have to change quickly.”
Not only was it to better integrate into the southern border, but it was also to prevent Xiao Shunyang from recognizing them at a glance.
The women of the southern border mostly wore silver jewelry or silver crowns, while the men mostly wore headscarves. The color of their clothes was also brighter.
Su Xiaoxiao changed the three little ones first.
Everyone was wearing a silver collar around their necks. The three of them were extremely curious and played with the silver collar.
Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting only changed their clothes outside. Since it was not awkward, they changed in the carriage.
After arriving at Phoenix Town, Wei Ting first found an inn to stay in.
Li Wan and Wei Xiyue alighted from the carriage. The two of them were wearing the clothes of the women and girls of the Southern Wilderness, looking extremely beautiful.
Wei Qing was in a wheelchair and was carried down by the assassin.
He and Wei Ting were incomparably handsome and could easily carry off any clothes and headwear.
The only one who didn’t change clothes was Mei Ji.
She hated such thick clothes!
Wei Ting went to book a room. “Second Brother, stay with Second
Sister-in-law for now. I’ll leave Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu to you. Xiaoxiao and I will go out for a while.” “Xiaohu wants to go too!” “Erhu wants to go too!”
“Dahu wants to go.”
The three little ones refused to leave their mother for a moment.
Su Xiaoxiao pinched their faces. “Be good. Play with Sister Xiyue for a while. I’ll be back soon.”
“Okay… Alright.” Dahu was the first to compromise and fight to be an obedient baby.
Seeing that Dahu was not making a fuss, Erhu stopped making a fuss himself.
In terms of pretending to be obedient, who lost?
Only Xiaohu, this silly boy, still hugged Su Xiaoxiao’s leg and refused to let go. “Xiaohu wants to go! Xiaohu wants to go! Xiaohu likes Mom the most!”
Who could withstand this wheedling?
Su Xiaoxiao was about to give in.
Wei Ting picked the little fellow up and stuffed him into his second brother’s arms. “I’ll leave him to you.”
Wei Qing knew that the two of them had serious matters to attend to. He smiled at the little packrat in her arms. “Go play with Uncle.”
Failing to act cute, Xiaohu turned his face away angrily. “Smelly Daddy!”
Xiaohu hesitated for half a second. “Yes.”
Wei Ting gave the rice cakes to the four little ones and left the inn with Su Xiaoxiao.
He had already asked the innkeeper just now. The Silken Cloth Manor was not far. After passing through the alley opposite, they would be able to reach there in half an hour.
The Silken Cloth Manor was only a small cloth shop. The shopkeeper recommended a few large ones to him and asked them to buy fabric from the other shops.
The two of them walked on the endless streets and looked at the people coming and going. Su Xiaoxiao sighed. “Phoenix Town is quite lively.”
Wei Ting said calmly, “There are many caravans at the border. As long as there’s no war, it can be lively.”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
Wei Ting looked at the shop on the right. “We’re here.”
The two of them were about to walk over when a delicate shout suddenly came from above. “It’s you?”
The two of them stopped and looked up at the window on the second floor.
Su Xiaoxiao was expressionless. It was her again.
Who else could it be but the sister of the Saintess who had fought with her for the Snow Domain Hemp on Heavenly Mountain?
She had encountered her three times. She did not know what kind of ill-fated relationship it was.
“Alright, you actually dare to come to the southern border?” The girl jumped down from the window and landed opposite Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting.
The girl had seen Wei Ting three times and was stunned by him three times.
The first time, Wei Ting was slovenly. She felt that this man was very charming. The second time, he was wearing armor, and she felt that he was heroic.
Today, he changed into the outfit of a man from the southern border, making her eyes light up even more.
Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes dangerously. “If you look again, I’ll dig out your eyes.”
The girl looked at Su Xiaoxiao.
The first two times she saw Su Xiaoxiao, she was either travel-worn or wearing armor and a helmet. Most of her beauty had been ruined. Now that she was casually dressed up, she was as beautiful as a fairy.
The girl frowned unhappily and grabbed the whip in her hand. She snorted and said, “Do you think this is your Great Zhou? Don’t think that just because you’re wearing the clothes of the southern border, you would be a member of our southern border! If you stay in the Great Zhou obediently, I might not do anything to you, but you actually came here fearlessly…”
As she spoke, she pointed the whip at Su Xiaoxiao. “Hand over the Snow Domain Hemp!”
There was no fear or emotion in Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes. “And what if I don’t hand it over?”
The girl flicked the whip in her hand away and the end of the whip hit the ground heavily, raising three feet of dust. “Then don’t blame me for being rude!”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly. “How would you be rude? Who can you scare with your lousy skills?”
The girl recalled the experience of being beaten to the ground by Su Xiaoxiao and felt a little embarrassed.
She choked and said angrily, “You were the one who ambushed me last time! Do you really think I’m afraid of you!”
Su Xiaoxiao said arrogantly, “Come on.”
There were many pedestrians on the street to begin with, and the commotion attracted many passersby.
Seeing that there were many people, the girl took the opportunity to get back at them.
She whipped toward Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao put on her silver silk gloves in a second and grabbed the end of her thorny whip.
The surrounding commoners gasped.
She even dared to grab a thorny whip. Wasn’t she afraid of cutting her flesh?
Soon, they realized that their worries were unnecessary.
It was unknown what the little girl was wearing, but she actually grabbed it unscathed.
“You…”
The girl’s gaze landed on Su Xiaoxiao’s silver silk gloves. She had wanted to ask on Heavenly Mountain, where did this glove come from? Why was she not even afraid of the poison of the Snow Domain Hemp?
It had to be known that when the Snow Domain Hemp was first picked, it was the most poisonous.
Even if they followed the thick ten layers of fabric, they would be attacked by the poison.
“I want your things!”
“I think you should care about your dignity first!”
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly pulled the whip. The girl cried out in surprise and was pulled over by a strong force.
Su Xiaoxiao grabbed her shoulder, turned her around, and strangled her with a whip.
Fortunately, only the end of this whip had thorns. Otherwise, her throat would have been pierced long ago.
At this moment, another figure flashed down from the room and slapped toward Su Xiaoxiao’s face.
Wei Ting, who had not made a move, stood in front of Su Xiaoxiao and raised his scabbard without a word!
