Chapter 419 I show my cards, I won’t pretend anymore
Shen Nanzhi had never been to the Loess Plateau in his previous life, let alone the backward ancient times. There was almost no one living here. The huge loess plateau formed gullies that penetrated deep into the natural ravines. You could see people face to face, but it would take one or two days to walk across.
There is a particular shortage of water here. They have been walking for so long but haven't found any water source. What will they do if the water runs out?
Cheng Wenhui was once again so angry at Shen Nanzhi that his head was dizzy. Looking at the dazzling sun, his mouth became dry and he didn't want to quarrel anymore.
Prime Minister Baiyin asked him, "Prince Cheng, didn't your ancestors tell us where the water source is? We are running out of water."
Cheng Wenhui said: "I don't know either. After all, so many years have passed and no one has come to look for the treasure."
I don't want to use the ancestral treasure unless it is absolutely necessary. That's something only a prodigal would do.
Cheng Wenhui even suspected that whether there was a treasure or not was just a wish left by the ancestors to their descendants.
This kind of place is not an environment where people can survive.
Shen Nanzhi said: "He must know and is forcing us to beg him."
Cheng Wenhui was already very tired, and was squeezed by her. He was powerless to defend himself, "Believe it or not, I don't know anyway."
"He's giving up. Look at his attitude. Does he want to drag us down with him?"
Prime Minister Baiyin also suspected him. Cheng Wenhui was so angry that when he arrived in the Jin Dynasty, he would kill this woman first.
No, let her be the lowest prostitute, let countless people abuse her, and make her life worse than death.
Shen Nanzhi was also angry: "What's that look in your eyes? Are you thinking about how to bully me? If you are a man, you should dare to say and do what you want. Don't think about those dark and dirty thoughts in your heart."
Cheng Wenhui took a deep breath and said, "I'm not angry. If I were angry, she would be more excited." I turned my head to look at the sky and completely gave up arguing with her.
It's so sunny that I have no strength left.
Shen Nanzhi made two hats that could cover the whole body and gave one to Wuerli to protect her from the scorching sun.
"Take a rest and wait until it's cooler before continuing on your journey."
After finding a cool place, everyone lay down in a mess, all of them were exhausted.
Compared to the dense forest environment, this kind of place is more torturous and makes them very uncomfortable.
Shen Nanzhi did not rest, but looked around. They could not find any water source and were about to run out of water. Would An Xin and the others who were following behind him also run out of water?
Cheng Wenhui half-closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, but suddenly he sat up straight and stared at Shen Nanzhi's back with murderous intent in his eyes.
Bai Yin stood up and said, "What are you going to do? Don't be rude to the princess. The safety of so many of us depends on her. If something happens to her, will the regent forgive us?"
Cheng Wenhui suddenly laughed: "I spent all day hunting geese and got my eyes pecked. Brother Baiyin, didn't you notice that something was wrong with her?"
"What's wrong? What do you want to say?"
"We grown men are exhausted, but she still has the energy to walk around. She doesn't look tired at all. She doesn't even have her feet worn out, and her clothes aren't torn. Is this normal?"
Prime Minister Baiyin's eyes gradually widened. Thinking carefully, it seemed that she was indeed quite abnormal. After traveling for such a long time, anyone would be tired, but she was still as energetic as at the beginning, able to curse people and make trouble.
"Go over and have a look."
Leading people to chase after them, Shen Nanzhi was staring at a dense bush in a daze.
"What are you doing?"
Shen Nanzhi turned around and saw that they looked unhappy. "What's wrong? Did you take the wrong medicine? Or are you confused by the heat?"
Wu Erli chased after them and said worriedly, "You can't bully Sister Nanzhi. Sister, they suspect that you are abnormal."
"What's wrong with me?"
Cheng Wenhui, a mean man, finally caught her weakness and laughed wildly, "You have been traveling for such a long time, but you are still so energetic. You are not a weak and helpless little woman at all. You are more energetic than a group of grown men like us. What does this mean?"
Shen Nanzhi was speechless. This was actually the case. Did they just find out?
"What does it mean? It means you are stupid. I grew up in the countryside, farming and slaughtering pigs to support my family. How can I be so weak that I can't take care of myself?
You only realized it now, and you still have the nerve to say that you are extremely smart? I am so embarrassed for you!"
She admitted it, she actually admitted it. Cheng Wenhui was stunned for a moment. She didn't even try to argue, she just admitted it like that?
Wuerli was also puzzled: "Sister Nanzhi, what do you mean?"
Shen Nanzhi waved his hand and said, "Move aside for a moment."
She gathered all her inner strength and suddenly attacked the bushes in front of her. With one slap, the bushes actually collapsed, and there was nothing inside.
Everyone was stunned and stepped back subconsciously. Some people took out their weapons and surrounded her as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
"Sister Nanzhi, you... you have so much strength."
Shen Nanzhi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "You also know that the most powerful thing about Duke Shen is his natural strength. I am his daughter and have his blood, so I naturally inherited his strength.
Master Cheng, have you not investigated me? My adoptive father is a butcher, who raised me by selling meat. I have also been slaughtering pigs for several years. No matter how big the pig is, it will become meat on the chopping board in my hands.
I'm laying my cards on the table. I'm actually very capable, but you guys are just stupid and haven't discovered it.
Cheng Wenhui was shaking all over, not sure whether he was angry or in disbelief. "Why are you still pretending to be dead?"
Shen Nanzhi laughed: "Is this a dead look? Isn't this the weak and innocent look that you men like? I am just following the world's aesthetic standards and making myself a qualified mistress of the inner house. I can't embarrass my regent, right?"
Prime Minister Baiyin was also confused. She was so powerful, how could he still control her?
"You, what do you want?"
Shen Nanzhi's eyes were clear, and there was no trace of the bravery that had just broken a wall with a slap. "What do you want? You were the ones who exposed me. I thought I hid it well."
Baiyin choked. It seemed so. She was a little dissatisfied with Cheng Wenhui. Why did you expose her so easily?
It turns out that they have been cooperating with me, and we have been going well along the way, and everyone is happy.
Seeing that he was actually dissatisfied with him, Cheng Wenhui was speechless. "She is so powerful. If we are not prepared, we will be killed by her and we won't know how we died. Prime Minister Baiyin, what else do you want? Take her down!"
