The road to counterattack of the woman who traveled through time and space

Chapter 255 Is he a Gu cultivator?

After Mu Ruixi punished the man, she stopped chasing him. She didn't care, but she couldn't accept that the man took advantage of her friend.

"Shuhe, are you okay?" Mu Ruixi hurried over and asked with concern.

Zhang Shuhe's expression remained unsightly. After a moment, she spoke, "I'm fine now. I don't understand why I lost the ability to fight back. What on earth is he doing?"

After Zhang Shuhe said this, she was still very scared. She had never thought that there were people in this world who were stronger than her. She finally understood.

"He's a Gu cultivator?" Mu Ruixi's expression changed, but she didn't show any regret. Normally, they didn't want to provoke a Gu Master.

After all, no one knows whether these people have poisonous insects or not. If the other party wants to take revenge, it will be really hard to guard against.

"Well, let's go eat something." The two were silent for a while, and Shi'an finally spoke. He originally planned to let his secret guards take action, but seeing Mu Ruixi's excitement, he followed Mu Ruixi.

He had just tested this man's strength and knew that he could not beat Mu Ruixi, which was why he was so confident.

But the other party was a Gu Master, so it was very difficult to deal with him. He did not forget that before the other party left, he looked at Mu Ruixi with eyes full of hatred.

The other party will definitely not give up and may even come to seek revenge. This time, we have to be more careful.

Because it is not easy for a Gu Master to poison him right next to him.

Mu Ruixi and Zhang Shuhe stopped talking and ate in silence.

But she was still eavesdropping on the conversations of the people around her. Mu Ruixi's voice was so loud that everyone in the inn could hear it. So, everyone's conversation focused on Mu Ruixi's table.

This made Mu Ruixi very depressed. She had originally planned to go to the hotel to find out some information, but now it was a bit difficult.

"Waiter, pour me a glass of water quickly." Mu Ruixi said it straightforwardly, but in her heart, she wanted to get something out of the waiter's mouth.

"Okay, sir, please wait here." The waiter responded and walked to their table. They didn't dare to offend such a big shot.

Mu Ruixi saw this scene. There had been no rain in the western border for three years, and many people could not survive, but the lives of local officials and businessmen were much better than before.

Take this restaurant for example, there are quite a lot of people inside, it doesn’t look like a poor place at all.

"Waiter, on our way here just now, we saw a lot of people begging on the roadside, and many shops were closed. What happened? Doesn't the court care?" Mu Ruixi asked directly. She also knew that after three years of drought, the crops were poor and the people had nothing to eat.

But if all the shops go bankrupt, especially the pharmacies, it would be troublesome if something happened.

None of this matters. What matters is that after Mu Ruixi entered the city, she saw too much injustice.

People did die in the city, but no one cared. If this continued, with so many people dying, it would inevitably cause an epidemic.

If that's the case, it would be even worse.

"What else can we do? The imperial court's taxes are very high. Those small shops can only make a small profit in a year and can't make any money at all. Moreover, there has been a three-year drought, and it is difficult to have business. Bankruptcy is only a matter of time." The waiter did not hide anything and told everything.

Mu Ruixi frowned and said nothing. She just pursed her lips and smiled. Xiao Er didn't need to explain, she knew what had happened.

She understood without the waiter telling her that local officials had to pay some taxes. In the Qin Dynasty, the emperor also focused on agriculture and restricted commerce, which was why ordinary shops could not do so.

"Sir, if you have any instructions, please tell me." The waiter responded and left.

As soon as the waiter left, Mu Ruixi's room was opened and a man pushed the door open and walked in.

"Lin Muwen, why are you here?!" Mu Ruixi looked at the person in surprise.

Lin Muwen was slightly stunned. They had no intention of telling Lin Muwen their location, so Mu Ruixi surprised her.

However, what surprised Lin Fan was not him, but himself.

"Why don't you let me come over?" Lin Muwen looked at Mu Ruixi with a smile.

"But we have deliberately concealed our tracks, why did you find out?" Mu Ruixi said puzzledly.

Lin Mu took the teacup handed to him by Mu Ruixi and drank it all in one gulp. He looked confident and said, "I guessed it as soon as you arrived in Western Xinjiang."

"My teacup!" Mu Ruixi noticed that Lin Muwen had taken the tea in front of her at some point and even took a sip, feeling a little unhappy.

Lin Muwen picked up the teacup and handed it to Mu Ruixi.

"The entire western frontier is under your control?" Mu Ruixi was a little surprised. Judging from Lin Muwen's performance, Lin Muwen did not seem to control the entire west, but he could not understand why he suddenly appeared here.

Lin Mu heard this, but his face was full of bitterness. He said, "How can it be that simple? I originally wanted to do the same as you and handle things cleanly and neatly, but now the situation in Western Xinjiang is so chaotic, I can only take it one step at a time."

While the two were talking, the waiter didn't notice that he didn't go to greet other guests, but walked towards the back yard.

"I've done everything you asked me to do. Can you please hand over the detoxification pill?"

The waiter looked at the man in front of him with fear in his eyes. When the others turned around, they finally saw the man.

Isn’t this the Gu Master who teased Zhang Shuhe just now? Didn’t he go?

"Did you see that?" The Gu Master's eyes were filled with hatred and his tone was cold. He wanted to make the other person live a life worse than death.

"Sure." Xiao Hu nodded repeatedly, but in his heart he was anxious to get the detoxification pill to save his life.

When he was speaking there just now, his hands were shaking a little. It might be because he had something to hide.

"Of course. Take it according to my prescription for three days." The old craftsman felt relieved and took out the antidote that he had prepared long ago.

He didn't want to leave just like that. Besides, he really couldn't forget this beautiful little princess. He had to get her no matter what.

But he had to wait a little longer, because the poison of the insect had just taken effect, and it would take some time for it to take effect.

He was very afraid of this man who hadn't spoken a word from beginning to end, because he knew that this man was definitely not an ordinary person. The aura of majesty without even getting angry was definitely not something an ordinary person could possess.
