Chapter 254 9 Couple
Perhaps it was because the gaze was so aggressive that Shen Shuyi found it difficult to ignore it.
She raised her eyes and looked across, but could only see a confidant wearing silver-gray armor and holding a sword in both hands standing on each side of the curtain.
The two men had tall postures and stern expressions, and apart from their fierce aura, their faces alone were extremely pleasing to the eye.
From Shen Shuyi's angle, she couldn't see the person sitting inside.
All one could see was a dark red python robe on the soft couch, as fiery as fire, a navy blue python with gold threads that looked extremely ferocious, and exquisite dragon patterns embroidered on the hem of the robe.
At this moment, a slender and clear hand came into view, with a crimson jade ring on the thumb, which made the hand look as white as jade.
Shen Shuyi fell into thought, dragon pattern on the python robe?
This is an attire that only princes can enjoy.
Looking at the two guards under the curtain again, Shen Shuyi vaguely remembered seeing them in the team of Canglang King returning to the capital.
Wolf King?
How come he is here?
Perhaps it was because the gaze was too direct. Even though Shen Shuyi couldn't see the other person's face due to the angle, he could feel that the gaze fell on his face, which added a bit of playfulness.
The man looked directly at Shen Shuyi, wondering what he was thinking.
Just at this moment, the waiter came back with the shopkeeper, and Shen Shuyi withdrew his gaze.
"Miss, I heard you wanted to see me..." The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man in his forties. He had a smiling face and was quite respectful.
"I would like to ask the shopkeeper to help me find someone. This is a deposit of three thousand taels. If you can find someone, I will pay another ten thousand taels." Shen Shuyi went straight to the point.
The shopkeeper was stunned when he saw Shen Shuyi's straightforward look. He did not immediately take the banknote, but asked, "I wonder who the young lady is looking for?"
Shen Shuyi said bluntly: "He is a young man born to Dongwu and Daqian."
The shopkeeper frowned: "Does he have alien blood?"
"Yes, he is no different from the people of Daqian, except that he has a pair of dark green eyes." Shen Shuyi spoke again.
This is the case with Jiuchou. Her mother is from Dongwu and her father is a general at the border of Daqian, so she does have foreign blood.
But in general, except for his eyes, he was no different from the people of Daqian. Even his eyes were not emerald green, but dark green.
Normally, when the light is dim, it is not even noticeable, but if it is in a dazzling place like the sun, the color of the eyes will be much lighter, like two transparent green gems.
"Miss Shen, looking for someone like this is like looking for a needle in a haystack. There are many young men with green eyes in the border area between Daqian and Dongwu..."
The shopkeeper spoke slowly, calculating rapidly in his mind.
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "It's not difficult. Bring me some pen and ink."
The waiter was quite perceptive and quickly brought over the pen and ink. Shen Shuyi didn't hesitate and started painting.
In less than a cup of tea, Jiuchou's portrait appeared on the paper.
The shopkeeper was a little dumbfounded: "This is..."
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "It shouldn't be difficult for the shopkeeper to find someone based on the portrait."
If she remembered correctly, Jiuchou's life should not be easy now.
Jiuchou's father was a soldier of Daqian. He was seriously injured in a battle and accidentally fell into the forest.
He was in a life-and-death situation, but was saved by Jiuyou's mother.
Although she was a foreigner, she was just an ordinary citizen with a kind heart. She helped Jiuchou's father and healed his injuries.
As they spent more and more time together, they gradually fell in love and finally decided to get married.
However, there were constant wars along the border, and Jiuchou's father was originally a captain. He was discovered by patrolling soldiers from East Ukraine after hiding for only a few years.
The two of them had no choice but to flee with the young Jiuchou, trying to get Daqian back.
Unfortunately, Jiuchou's mother was destined to be unacceptable to the people and soldiers of Daqian because of her pair of green eyes. Even Jiuchou's father was labeled a traitor because he did not return for several years.
The two of them took the young Jiuchou and ran around everywhere, but Jiuchou's father had been injured before and had not been able to recover properly, so during a hunting trip, he was bitten by a tiger and died soon after.
Jiuchou's mother raised Jiuchou alone for another two years, but in the end she could not survive and died.
Jiuchou, who was only five years old, became an orphan. Because of his young age and naive mind, he was cheated many times. After a few years, he ended up in Xingwang Building.
Shen Shuyi remembered that when she saw him that year, it was the third time he escaped from Xingwang Building.
His body was covered with marks from being whipped and from being branded.
He just collapsed in front of his bicycle frame without asking for help until the people from Xingwang Building caught up with him and beat him up again.
Shen Shuyi paid money to buy him, and then discovered that he was an excellent martial artist, a martial arts genius. Although he did not have any proper system, he was tempered in life and death.
What impressed Shen Shuyi even more was his strong character.
She still remembers his green eyes in the dazzling sunlight.
Xingwanglou thought he was a rare commodity and asked for a high price. Fortunately, she and Xiao Tingshan had already set up their business by then, so she still had some money.
But even so, when she bought him back into the mansion, Xiao Tingshan still disagreed.
It was not until later that Shen Shuyi discovered that Jiuchou's fighting style was naturally able to restrain Mengkuo. Mengkuo was fierce and good at using a long sword, while Jiuchou was also tall and strong. Among a variety of weapons, he chose the Kanglong Mace.
Everything seemed to be destined. The Kanglong Mace was born to be the nemesis of swords and knives. Jiuchou chose the Kanglong Mace, which further suppressed the number one general under Xiao Tingshan.
She thought that Xiao Tingshan would be happy to have a new powerful general.
But he never thought that he never regarded them as his own people. Instead, he felt that these people were loyal to him and became a force to control him.
Thinking of this, Shen Shuyi found it even more ridiculous.
Regardless of whether Xiao Tingshan has the ability to be an emperor, he has inherited the emperor's suspicion and cruelty.
Unfortunately, people like him are destined not to have the last laugh.
After the shopkeeper took the portrait, he felt relieved: "Okay, now that we have the portrait, it will be much easier. However, I am afraid that we cannot guarantee the time..."
Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "I believe the shopkeeper has his own manpower to take care of the route from the East Wu border to the capital."
"Don't worry, Miss. As long as Xingwanglou accepts this order, we will do our best."
Shen Shuyi said again: "The second thing is, I need the shopkeeper to find two women who are good at martial arts for me. They must have a clean family background and strong martial arts skills."
"Miss, are you planning to take her in as a maid?" the shopkeeper asked tentatively.
"That's right." Shen Shuyi did not deny it. Agate only knew some basic kung fu, which was useful when dealing with ordinary maids, but if he really encountered killers and desperadoes, he would be powerless to resist.
Jiang Li is a man and has to work for her outside, so she has to cultivate two confidants of her own.
However, Shen Shuyi also understood that such a person was not easy to find.
