C36 Deathless
Luo Jianjian didn't wake up until the sun was high in the sky.
In this period of time, Luo Jianjian had come to Tianqi Kingdom, but she had never gone shopping. She took the identity token she got from Prime Minister Luo, and arrogantly displayed her Prime Minister's Mansion.
The happiest thing about him was that he had money in his pockets and a lot of time!
She walked all the way through the streets and alleyways, inquiring of passers-by before finding the most bustling street.
There were many shops and hawkers on this street, some selling jewelry, some selling clothes, some selling flowers, some fish, some shrimp, some insects, etc.
As far as the eye could see, Luo Jianjian walked in from door to door, first buying some clothes for Xiao Yue and her, then buying some snacks to eat.
Xiao Yue resigned herself to her fate as she followed behind her young mistress, waving her large and small hands, "Young lady, have you bought all the things you want?"
"What's the rush? Let's go for a while more."
Luo Jianjian paid for a servant at the side of the road to help them deliver the items to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Along the way, Luo Jianjian heard many people talking about Master Ling Tian, and many people compared Master Ling Tian to Eighth Prince and Murong Yun.
Some people said that Master Ling Tian's martial arts was better than Eighth Prince's, while others were not convinced by Eighth Prince's words. "Eighth Prince is only so old, Master Ling Tian is already in his forties, if Eighth Prince reaches that age, Master Ling Tian will not be able to compare with Eighth Prince."
Of course, there were also people who felt sorry for Eighth Prince: "Eighth Prince is not in good health right now. I heard that Eighth Prince still has some old ailments. I wonder if he will be able to fight on the battlefield like before and lead the army to charge?"
Regarding this, Luo Jianjian just laughed it off.
One had to know that this thing could kill people.
After walking for a distance, Luo Jianjian stopped beside a vendor selling all kinds of pets.
Cats and dogs, birds and beasts, even some animals that Luo Jianjian could not name.
The peddler warmly greeted her: "What kind of pet does the girl want? I have everything here except the girl's imagination, there's nothing that I can't catch! "
Luo Jianjian chuckled, "Really? Then, boss, do you have a phoenix? "
"Miss … You can't say such nonsense! "
Phoenix?
It was an existence that symbolized the royal family. If anyone heard about it, the young miss would definitely be punished.
The hawker was obviously not light on his words. He had never seen a girl with such sharp words, "Aunt …" Oh girl … "The phoenix is just a legend. Besides, even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to catch it …"
Even if there really was a phoenix in the world, wouldn't he be going against the emperor if he went after it?
It was said that the Emperor and Prince were the sons of dragons and the Empress and Princess were the phoenixes. Did he not want to live?
"Just kidding." Luo Jianjian waved her hand. She had almost forgotten that there were many taboos in the past.
Luo Jianjian crouched down and saw a black dog in the cage looking at her with sparkling eyes. Its tail wagged around as if it was trying to curry favor with her.
Noticing Luo Jianjian looking at him, Dogman happily circled around the cage. "Woof woof!"
The hawker smiled as he introduced her to Luo Jianjian, "This lady has good taste. My dog is extremely intelligent and can ward off evil, not to mention watching over the yard. If this lady likes it, we can discuss the price."
Thinking about how Murong Xue loved animals, Luo Jianjian had the urge to buy the dog.
But then she thought of the thing in her hand that had never lived for more than three days …
Luo Jianjian couldn't help but shiver. For the sake of Gou Zi's safety, she didn't want to keep him.
She no longer wanted to experience the scene of herself sending away her pet.
"So cute …" Even Xiao Yue wanted to take the dog away for adoption, "Miss, this puppy seems to like you a lot, wagging its tail at you."
Dogman seemed to understand, clawing at the cage with his front paws, anxious to get out.
"No, I'll just take a look."
Seeing this, the peddler became even more enthusiastic, "Don't refuse me so quickly, my dog looks like he has some sort of affinity with me. I can sell it to you for a tael of silver if it's cheap!" "How about it?"
Xiao Yue exclaimed, "One tael of silver?!" "Boss, snatch the money, is one tael of silver a small sum?"
Luo Jianjian raised her gaze and inadvertently landed on the peddler's hand. His hand was covered in calluses, and a knife wound could be seen on his arm. In addition, the peddler's muscular body and his every action made him look like a martial artist no matter how one looked at it.
A pet vendor can even learn kung fu?
Luo Jianjian thought for a while before she stood up slowly and left with Xiao Yue.
Out of the corner of her eyes, she looked around and found that the alleyway was bustling with only a few hawkers setting up stalls.
They were busy with their own things, but she could feel the dark eyes on her again and again.
Something was not right!
When she turned around, she coincidentally saw the cold glint in the hawker's eyes. A chill went down Luo Jianjian's spine. These people … It's for her!
Xiao Yue was still bargaining with the peddler, probably because he was a child. Xiao Yue couldn't help but to let the dog out of the cage and hug him.
A gentle breeze blew past, and a chilling aura wantonly filled the air.
Luo Jianjian's expression did not change. She clearly saw a cold light appear behind one of the hawkers. It was … Longsword?
He looked at them one by one. There were ten of them, ten muscular men, and she was just two weak girls. They were completely one-sided.
In order not to alarm the vendor, Luo Jianjian tried her best to keep her expression calm. She took out the dog from Xiao Yue's embrace, and at the same time, the dog also noticed that something was wrong and bared its fangs at the peddler, "Woof woof!" Wooo — woof! "
Sensing the murderous look on the hawker's face, Luo Jianjian pushed Xiao Yue out of the alley, "Run! Don't look back! "
She had given Xiao Yue the best chance to escape, but she was surrounded by these people in the alley.
Xiao Yue looked back, confused, "Young mistress?"
In the end, he saw his young miss being surrounded by a group of men holding long swords.
"Miss!" Xiao Yue was burning with anxiety. She cried and wanted to return to help, but Luo Jianjian reprimanded her, "Let's go! You will only be a burden to me if you stay! "
Actually, it was just because he was afraid that Xiao Yue would die here.
Xiao Yue cried until she was out of breath, and did not go forward, "Young mistress..."
Their target was Luo Jianjian, so they didn't mind if a servant girl ran away.
"Who are you people?" Luo Jianjian looked at them warily. With a pincer attack coming from the front and back, she had nowhere to run.
"The person who wants your life." The dog seller sneered, "Brothers, let's go!"
Luo Jianjian gritted her teeth. She could only give it her all!
She pushed her speed to the limit and found a direction with the least manpower. Taking advantage of the unprepared direction, she kicked away the sword in that person's hand, which steadily landed in her hand.2
Her palm-sized face was as cold as ice. If she hadn't guessed wrongly, it must have been those people who did it. They had really put in a lot of effort in order to kill her.
"Those who aren't afraid of death, come!" Even if the enemy was stronger than herself, Luo Jianjian's momentum didn't diminish at all.
