Chapter 59: It’s Boring, Can’t We Have Something Powerful?
Keke felt that it was being looked down upon.
It retorted indignantly, “The pork here naturally doesn’t taste good. The pig farmers castrate the pigs from a young age.”
Shang Wuyang’s hand holding the chopsticks paused. Castrate? Was it what he was thinking?
Keke continued, “Castrated pigs grow fast and have less of a gamey smell. Well-raised ones have more meat and are much more cost-effective than sheep.”
Shang Wuyang wiped his mouth. “Is that so? I’ll have someone find some pigs to try another day.”
He was quite interested in what this bird was saying.
Sheep raised on pasture grass don’t have as strong a mutton smell, but it’s still there.
Especially rams.
The half-grown lamb prepared for Shang Wuyang here was even tastier.
Sourness can neutralize the mutton smell. Although there was no vinegar now, smart people thought of using sour fruits as a dipping sauce.
The best was lemon.
Shang Wuyang’s chef discovered the miraculous effect of lemon in removing gamey smells and even specially planted a few lemon trees.
So, this lamb meal was quite satisfactory.
Qin Wanwan, having eaten her fill, strolled with her daddy to aid digestion.
The scenery here wasn’t much to look at, as it was a jade mine. It was mostly various stones, with very little vegetation.
They didn’t linger. Shang Wuyang took Qin Wanwan and left.
They rode in a chariot pulled by an elephant, just like when they arrived.
Full of food and drink, Qin Wanwan felt drowsy inside the swaying chariot.
The stones in Qin Wanwan’s hands fell to the ground.
Shang Wuyang held the little person, feeling the warm temperature from her body, and also fell asleep.
However, after about half an hour, a commotion could be heard from outside.
Qin Wanwan woke up groggily and was completely clear-headed upon hearing the sound of clashing swords.
Qin Wanwan: !!!
What happened? Where’s Daddy?
Qin Wanwan wanted to go find her Daddy, but was quickly stopped by the Great Lion, who held onto her clothes.
Soon, she understood. Daddy was facing an assassination attempt again.
No, there was an assassination attempt just yesterday. Why again today?
Having understood the situation, Qin Wanwan hid herself inside the chariot.
From time to time, she could hear the tinkling sound of something hitting the chariot wall.
Strangely, none of those things could pierce the chariot wall.
The chariot at this moment was completely enclosed, unlike the open front part they had seen before.
There was also a door.
Qin Wanwan’s safety was greatly assured.
She didn’t wait long before Shang Wuyang returned.
However, he looked the same as before and had no blood on him.
After entering the chariot, Shang Wuyang opened the window and shouted outside.
“Get down.”
The people protecting Shang Wuyang immediately and rapidly prostrated themselves on the ground.
He then twisted a handrail inside the carriage, accompanied by a whizzing sound.
Countless finger-length short arrows shot out in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, a large wave of assassins who came to assassinate them were killed.
Then, Qin Wanwan saw Shang Wuyang raise his arm, and a delicate sleeve dart appeared on his wrist.
He instantly shot out sleeve darts, killing those who suddenly poked their heads over the roof of the chariot to ambush him.
He then shot nine sleeve darts consecutively towards any visible assassins.
She thought it was safe then.
The other side’s carriage window was breached.
Shang Wuyang unhurriedly drew out his hairpin. He aimed the hairpin at the carriage window and gently twisted it the moment the assassin broke through.
Whoosh…
Several fine needles shot out simultaneously.
Then, that assassin also met his end.
Qin Wanwan was stunned.
Shang Wuyang glanced at her.
“Give me that fan.”
Qin Wanwan blinked, reacted, and threw the fan to him.
Shang Wuyang opened the fan, and the tip of the fan turned into a sharp blade.
He held the fan and aimed it at an assassin who was fighting someone on the elephant in front. He pressed a small, inconspicuous button on the fan, and with each press, a blade flew out.
He pressed it several times towards the assassin as if there was no limit.
Even though that assassin blocked the first few, he was directly hit in the neck by the ones behind and then died.
After doing this, Shang Wuyang put away the fan and tossed it aside.
“Boring. Can’t you bring someone more powerful?”
Qin Wanwan: …
Keke whispered to Qin Wanwan, “I feel like your Daddy is a bit suicidal, with that kind of crazy beauty vibe.”
Qin Wanwan nodded, she really couldn’t disagree.
“What are you two talking about?”
Shang Wuyang walked over to them, a smile on his lips.
In Keke’s eyes, this smile was truly a bit chilling.
“Nothing, nothing. Keke was saying that Lord is powerful!”
Qin Wanwan nodded, “Daddy is powerful.”
But she was also curious, why did Daddy have so many things?
She examined the fan, and the blades on it had all been used.
And that hairpin.
“Don’t touch this, it’s poisoned.”
Shang Wuyang put the hairpin away.
However, the sleeve dart on his wrist could be given to Qin Wanwan to play with.
“I’ll have someone make some suitable ones for you to wear another day. If you encounter danger, do as I did today and kill them all.”
Killing people was as simple as drinking water in his mouth.
But then, who wouldn’t get used to killing if they were assassinated like this from time to time? Killing would be as easy as eating and drinking.
“City Lord, we captured three alive, but they committed suicide by poison. They are death warriors with no distinguishing features.”
Shang Wuyang grunted. “If they’re dead, they’re dead.”
He pressed a spot on the chariot wall where he was leaning on the bed, and some wall panels began to unfold.
The view became more open.
The carriage also became larger.
It turned out that a part of the chariot’s step could become a wall!
So magical.
Qin Wanwan curiously poked here and there.
The elephant let out a cry, a sound tinged with pain.
Qin Wanwan stopped looking at the carriage and ran to the front on her short legs.
“Are you injured?”
An arrow had struck the elephant’s belly.
There were people protecting the elephant when the assassins arrived.
But despite all precautions, something went wrong.
The team was equipped with a doctor.
The elephant’s skin was thick, so the arrow wasn’t deep, but it still hurt.
Fortunately, this elephant had a stable temperament and was easily controlled.
Otherwise, if the elephant ran wild due to pain, the people inside the carriage would be in danger.
While the doctor was pulling out the arrow and treating the elephant, Qin Wanwan ran to the front to pat the elephant’s nose.
“Good boy, you’ll get better quickly after the medicine. Here’s some bean dregs and grass cake for you.”
That was the gosling’s food.
Qin Wanwan gave it another one.
This bite was not even enough to stuff the gap between the teeth of such a large elephant.
But the elephant really liked it. Its trunk wrapped around Qin Wanwan’s wrist, and it no longer felt pain in its foot. It affectionately acted spoiled and wanted more.
Qin Wanwan: “This is the last one, okay? If I give it all to you, the gosling won’t have any to eat.”
Qin Wanwan, like Xie Chong, liked herbivorous animals very much.
Even when dried and mixed with bean dregs to make grass cakes, the gosling liked them, the horses liked them, and the elephants absolutely loved them.
After feeding this piece to the elephant, there were only three left in her small pouch.
“I can’t give you any more, you’re too big and it won’t be enough for you.”
Qin Wanwan mumbled and covered her small pouch, refusing to feed it anymore.
“When I go find Daddy Xie Chong, I’ll bring a huge pile of pasture grass for you, okay?”
