Chapter 1724: Chapter 775: Relationships

While Fu Lingqing spoke, his eyes moved, looking toward the other two caravans.

He noticed that the people in the other two caravans showed no reaction to the situation here.

"Bold! You know it’s our Suo Family caravan, why aren’t you letting us pass? If you make Young Master Zi wait too long, can you bear the consequences?"

The shout from the Suo Family member made Fu Lingqing’s heart skip a beat.

Young Master Zi? Could it be that the one sitting in the carriage is the current most favored young master of the Suo Family?

Rumor has it that although Young Master Zi’s skills are still shallow, his talent is extraordinary, with huge potential, and he is greatly loved by the entire Suo Family. Offending Young Master Zi means offending everyone in the Suo Family.

He, Fu Lingqing, is just a small patrol captain, how dare he provoke such an important figure!

Immediately, he didn’t wait to see what the situation was with the other two caravans, directly scolding his subordinates.

"Why are you still blocking them? Didn’t you hear the master’s words? Quickly let them pass!"

Upon hearing their leader speak, the subordinates dared not block them any longer and promptly allowed them to pass.

Originally, for unfamiliar caravans entering the Capital, or even just on this official road, they had to be stripped layer by layer to pass through every checkpoint smoothly, to reach the city walls.

If they didn’t want to be exploited, they had to take the dangerous wilderness deviating from the official road, appearing only when they reached the city gate.

Thus, some also divided the official road outside the city, generally calling it the Nine Passages Outside the City.

Where the three caravans currently were, was within the Inner Three Passes area, and going forward, there were at most two more groups blocking the way until they could reach the city gate smoothly.

But with the Suo Family’s caravan in, none of that was really an issue.

Having received the news of passage, the person responsible for leading the way for the Suo Family quickly returned to the caravan, came to the side of the carriage, and reported in a low voice.

"Young Master Zi, they have allowed us to pass, I will go ahead and lead the way for Young Master Zi, to prevent anyone without eyes from blocking us again."

"Thank you, Uncle Zi."

A voice came from inside with a hint of naivety.

Then suddenly the carriage curtain was lifted, and someone stepped down from inside.

Uncle Zi was stunned, quickly bowing slightly.

"Young Master Zi?"

"I’m going to talk to Sister Shishi."

The young man already stepped briskly toward the nearby caravan, with long black hair and a neutral attire, looking more like a pretty lady than a young duke.

Uncle Zi, watching Young Master Zi’s back, couldn’t help but smile and shake his head slightly.

He served the young master for many years, it was the first time seeing the young master so interested in a girl.

However, perhaps it was because of the special circumstances of their first meeting.

In retrospect, it was actually nothing but a very ordinary scene of ’hero saving the beauty’.

Except this hero was Miss Zhuge, and moreover... the rescue failed, and both almost fell into the demon’s maw together.

Fortunately, there was someone noble to save them...

Uncle Zi glanced at the third caravan, at the yawning, seemingly unoccupied young man.

Clearly almost the same age as the young master, at most a year or two older, yet with such formidable abilities!

This boy’s identity is undoubtedly extraordinary!

Uncle Zi’s status was low, he dared not inquire randomly, much less speak recklessly, so he didn’t probe further.

For now, the gratitude for saving them was enough, all should wait until they entered the Capital, where the masters could gently inquire about him, for that would be more appropriate.

For this reason, Uncle Zi even reminded Young Master Zi not to randomly inquire about those benefactors’ identities.

Under the Emperor’s presence, the land teemed with talented people, hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and one small mistake would displease an important figure, and with one finger, everyone in the Suo Family would suffer.

Do not be deceived by the patrol captain’s reverent attitude toward the Suo Family, that’s because the patrol captain is low-level, anyone in front of him can be a big figure.

But Uncle Zi himself knew well what the Suo Family’s status was within the Capital, whom they could provoke and whom they could not.

Just like Mr. Diao, who had an aura that Uncle Zi deemed as best not to provoke.

On the other side, Suo Zi had already started a conversation with someone.

"Sister Shishi, we’ve dealt with those blocking our way, soon Uncle Zi will lead the way ahead, hopefully, we won’t be blocked anymore."

The carriage curtain lifted a corner, sunlight spilled in, revealing some pink long hair, and a cheerful voice suddenly sounded.

"You’re quite capable, hardly a waste saving your life."

Suo Zi showed a happy smile: "Sister Shishi’s saving grace, I will remember it for life!"

"Alright, if there’s nothing else, go back, I need to rest my eyes."

The curtain was about to drop, but Suo Zi quickly moved forward to hold a corner of the curtain.

"Sister, Sister Shishi, can I stay here and chat with you?"

The corner of the mouth inside the curtain slightly raised: "Do as you like."

"Thank you, Sister Shishi!"

Uncle Zi watched all this, yet also slightly shook his head.

Although this woman named Zhuge Shi emerged from nowhere, her background unclear, there was after all the fact of her risking her life to assist Young Master Zi, so relatively speaking, Uncle Zi was somewhat reassured about the Zhuge Family’s caravan.

He summoned a few trusted subordinates, instructing them to keep an eye on that side in case Young Master Zi encountered danger, and then mounted his horse to lead the way forward.

Fang Yu observed all this but did not interfere in any way.

Beside him, Diao Xiaohui tilted her head to look, her face seemingly full of confusion.
