Chapter 210 A Terrifying Night at the Inn
Su Yunhai had already bribed the post station's administrator.
However, the postmaster only accepted silver and refused to accept ordinary people under any circumstances.
Left with no other choice, Su Yunhai had to have the team continue setting up tents and stay in the open space next to the post station.
After arranging for her family to stay, Mu Wanjun immediately ordered water for them so that everyone could wash up properly.
Realizing that no one had clean clothes to change into, she immediately went downstairs to find Shen Shuli and get something.
But they were stopped by the people at the post station.
"Prisoners are not allowed to leave the post station. Please return immediately!" The postman, not recognizing Princess Anrong, immediately reprimanded her.
'I'm a prisoner, I don't get angry; I'm a prisoner, I don't deserve to be angry.'
Feeling stifled, Mu Wanjun took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
She went back to find the constables of the exile team, but they were unwilling to help.
This was, after all, the territory of the post station, and these yamen runners were just outsiders staying overnight; they had no right to boss people around.
She simply went back to her room and peered out the window, trying to find the location of the Su family's house.
"Ah Li, Ah Li, Ah Li!" Mu Wanjun shouted loudly.
Shen Shuli was lying in the tent, her consciousness busy with things in the fields in the space.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuehua immediately nudged her daughter's arm and reminded her, "Honey, your friend is calling you. Go and see her."
Shen Shuli's consciousness left the space and she immediately ran out, raising her head to shout to Mu Wanjun upstairs.
"I'm here, what's up?"
"The courier here won't let me out. Could you find a way to get us some clean clothes?"
"Okay, I'll get it for you."
Shen Shuli then remembered that her best friend's family hadn't changed their clothes after taking a shower.
All exiled prisoners wore the same prison uniform, with no change of clothes, and the guards did not allow prisoners to wear other clothes, otherwise they would be stripped off.
Mu Wanjun had already prepared clothes for the whole family, including clothes for all four seasons, to prepare for any unexpected situations.
Shen Shuli pretended to search in the car, but actually searched in her spatial dimension.
My best friend prepared so many supplies that it took her a long time to find the box specifically for storing clothes.
Good guy.
Ten boxes in total, all filled with prison uniforms of various materials and thicknesses.
It's always good to be prepared.
Shen Shuli gave each of Mu Wanjun's family members two sets of clothes to change into, and also included two bars of milk soap that could be used to wash the whole body.
I had just finished packing when I suddenly realized that the Xie family members didn't have any clean clothes either.
But she hadn't prepared prison clothes herself, so she took out a few bolts of cloth that were similar in color to prison clothes.
Ask family members to help produce a batch.
After all, he had received so much money from the Xie family, so it was only right that he did some small favors for them.
Shen Shuli arrived at the entrance of the post station and knocked on the door. Mu Wanjun was already waiting inside.
The gatekeeper couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw the two exchanging gifts in front of him.
Just before the courier was about to make things difficult, Shen Shuli quickly slipped him a silver ingot.
"Sir, these are the prisoners' change of clothes. I just washed them for them. There are no personal items hidden in them. If you don't believe me, please check carefully."
The courier's mood improved considerably upon receiving the silver.
But I still checked each piece of clothing very carefully, afraid that there might be something I shouldn't have inside.
"Princess, I haven't finished washing the Xie family's clothes yet. I estimate it will be tomorrow morning. Please remember to send someone to collect them."
Shen Shuli winked playfully at Mu Wanjun.
"I know, I knew you lazy people were always slacking off. You can't even do this little thing right, humph."
Mu Wanjun picked up her bundle and walked away sauntered away.
Shen Shuli clicked her tongue twice before leaving.
Since the arrival of bodyguards and Silver Armor Guards, the Su and Shen families have basically stopped keeping watch at night.
Everyone spends most of their time cultivating and improving their strength.
A few days ago.
Su Yunhai found a copy of the Canglan Frost Manual on the man in black and gave it to Shen Yuehua.
Shen Yuehua did not keep any copies to herself; she made more than a dozen copies and gave them to the family members who were unable to cultivate the Fire Cloud Technique.
She deliberately avoided Su Chang'an, Li Jiao'e, and Zhang Lanhua.
Of these three women, her son was simple-minded and selfish, and Li Jiao'e and Zhang Lanhua were a vicious and scheming woman, respectively. She didn't trust any of them.
As for the Shen family, her parents know best who is reliable.
It would be best to let her parents decide how to allocate it.
As expected, everyone's constitution is different, and they will choose the right exercise method.
Shen Yuehua and Su Ding'an had been struggling to master the Fire Cloud Technique, but they were able to cultivate the Azure Frost Technique with great success.
Within three days, both of them had mastered the basics of cultivation and successfully cultivated their first strand of ice-attribute internal energy.
Shen Shuli has also been studying the Canglan Frost Technique these past few days.
She wanted to investigate which of the two techniques was more powerful.
After trying it out, I was surprised to find that I could actually cultivate!
She now possesses not only fire-attribute internal energy, but has also successfully cultivated ice-attribute internal energy.
But the good times didn't last long.
Shen Shuli quickly discovered the problem.
He has now reached the entry level in fire-attribute internal energy, while he has just entered the basics of the Frost Technique.
The two attributes are in extreme conflict, with the fire attribute internal force constantly eliminating the ice attribute within the body.
Shen Shuli's meridians were in a terrible state.
If it weren't for the help of the spiritual spring water, she probably would have already gone mad from her cultivation.
But Shen Shuli didn't want to give up. In the past few days, she has been working hard to cultivate the Azure Frost Technique, trying to achieve a balance between the two realms.
Midnight.
The once quiet night sky was suddenly shattered by a piercing scream.
Shen Shuli was startled and immediately opened her eyes.
Many light sleepers inside the tent were awakened.
"what happened?"
"What happened?"
"Get up quickly and go check if we've encountered any danger again?"
Shen Shuli was meditating and practicing her martial arts, and hadn't taken off her outer clothes. Now she had put on her shoes and ran out.
Upon seeing the person on night duty, Shen Shuli quickly inquired.
Do you know what happened?
The bodyguard replied, "It seems to have come from inside the post station, but we don't know what happened yet."
Upon hearing this, Shen Shuli felt anxious.
My best friend and her family are still inside. I'm worried they might encounter something difficult that she won't be able to handle.
As she thought about it, her body already ran towards the post station.
Inside the inn.
Inside a four-person room.
At this moment, the second wife of the Mu family, Jiao Miaoling, was barely clothed and had dark red bloodstains on her body.
She shielded her three daughters behind her, staring at the men opposite her with a look of fear and resentment, still holding a candlestick in her hand as a precaution.
"Mu Hongyu, you beast! You're not human!"
Mu Hongyu clutched the blood seeping from his forehead, glaring at Jiao Miaoling with a sinister expression, and gritted his teeth, saying, "You madwoman! You dared to murder your husband! You deserve to die!"
"You're the one who deserves to die!" Jiao Miaoling cried uncontrollably, her heart filled with despair.
She regretted being so blind as to marry such a beast!
"Officers, quickly grab her and cover her mouth! If she keeps yelling like that, we won't be able to get anything done!"
