Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Chapter 73 A small bowl of braised pork trotters rice, a taste of chivalrous romance 1

Su Hezhou looked up at Lin Xiaoqian who was walking over: "I didn't expect that you would have a medicine that can cure arsenic. You know that arsenic is a highly poisonous substance, and I have never heard of an antidote. Where did you get such a precious thing?"

Lin Xiaoqian smiled slightly: "Sir, you don't need to ask any more questions. Anyway, I have the antidote."

Su Hezhou wasn't one to pry into other people's secrets, so he simply asked, "Does the young lady have any antidote for arsenic?"

Lin Xiaoqian nodded: "There's still a little, but not much."

Arsenic trioxide, also known as arsenic, was a poison that had a specific antidote in the original world: trithiopropanol.

The medicine cabinet prepared by the government for her contained all kinds of medicines, but because there were many varieties, the quantity was not large.

Su Hezhou nodded slightly, then brought up another matter: "Does the young lady have any clues about today's events? Did you offend anyone?"

Lin Xiaoqian pouted. Today was the third day since she and Jiang Shuang came to this world. The only conflict they had was with Wan Chou, the manager of Zuixiang Pavilion.

She nodded: "I wouldn't say I have any leads, I just have a guess in my mind."

Su Hezhou glanced at her: "Would you mind telling me who it is?"

Lin Xiaoqian looked at Su Hezhou: "I haven't asked this gentleman's name yet."

Who are you? Don't just come up here asking questions like that. Don't think you can just pry into my life just because you're handsome.

Su Hezhou was taken aback, then bowed apologetically: "I apologize, I haven't introduced myself yet. My surname is Su, my given name is Hezhou, and my official position is Director of the Guard Bureau."

Lin Xiaoqian raised an eyebrow slightly: "So you are Lord Su. My name is Lin Xiaoqian, and this is my older sister, Jiang Shuang."

Jiang Shuang nodded coolly to Su Hezhou: "Hello."

Su Hezhou nodded slightly.

“We’ve only been open here for a short time, and the only conflict we’ve had was with Wan Chou, the owner of Zui Xiang Ge. I suspect it might be related to him,” Lin Xiaoqian said.

Su Hezhou nodded slightly, his expression not showing much surprise, and said, "I heard from Sikong Zhenyue that yesterday the two young ladies injured Wanchou's men with weapons? Do you know that he is a man of the Grand Eunuch Cao? Aren't you afraid of offending him by doing this?"

Lin Xiaoqian shrugged: "I will not offend others unless they offend me; if they offend me, I will retaliate."

She'll only stay here for a few days, why would she be afraid of a eunuch?

Appreciation appeared in Su Hezhou's eyes. He smiled slightly and said, "Miss Lin's spirit is quite chivalrous, which is truly admirable. To be honest, I came here today for your weapon."

Lin Xiaoqian stared at him without moving her eyes: "I suppose Lord Sikong has already told you the conditions for exchanging weapons with me."

Su Hezhou smiled slightly: "They did tell me, but I've only heard about it. I need to personally inspect the goods to see if the weapon is really as powerful as you say."

Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang exchanged a glance. Shuangjie was the most knowledgeable about these kinds of questions about guns.

Jiang Shuang looked at Su Hezhou: "How do you want to test it?"

Su Hezhou replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, we should go to our Guard Bureau for the inspection. Our Guard Bureau has a dedicated shooting range with a spacious area, which is most suitable for shooting."

Jiang Shuang frowned: "Go to the Imperial Guard? No way, who knows if you'll try anything funny."

Su Hezhou quickly waved his hand: "Miss Jiang, this is a misunderstanding. I, Su Hezhou, guarantee with my integrity that I would never do such a despicable thing."

Lin Xiaoqian said, "Lord Su, it's not that we don't trust you, it's just that these guns are precious, and we can't afford to take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

Su Hezhou pondered for a moment: "Then how about we find an open space outside the city?"

Jiang Shuang thought for a moment: "Outside the city is fine, but we have to choose the location."

Jiang Shuang goes out for morning exercise every day, and when she has nothing to do, she goes out to scout around. The city gate is not far from the street where they live, so she has also been outside the city.

Su Hezhou nodded and said, "Then we will do as Miss Jiang says, and you can choose the location."

Jiang Shuang replied, "Okay, come to our shop entrance first thing tomorrow morning, and I'll show you the exact location."

Su Hezhou clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, young lady. I will definitely keep my appointment on time tomorrow."

The next morning, Su Hezhou only brought Sikong Zhenyue with him. Sikong Zhenyue was carrying a target, a scarecrow, and armor.

Jiang Shuang and Lin Xiaoqian had already opened the shop door and were waiting.

Jiang Shuang glanced at the things Su Hezhou had brought and said, "Lord Su, please come with me."

Because of Lin Xiaoqian's special status, for her safety, Jiang Shuang did not allow Lin Xiaoqian to go with her.

Jiang Shuang carried a metal box on her back and walked with Su Hezhou towards the outskirts of the city. Before long, they arrived at an open grassland.

Jiang Shuang stopped and said, "This is it."

Su Hezhou looked around. The ground was flat, and there were only a few scattered trees nearby. He nodded and said, "This place is indeed nice."

This is the most open space Jiang Shuang could find.

Sikong Zhenyue set up the target in one place, then put the armor on a scarecrow and placed it next to the target, before stepping back a little.

Jiang Shuang stood fifty meters away from the target and easily fired three shots.

Three shots rang out, and three holes were punched in the center of the target.

Then he fired another shot at the scarecrow, "Bang!"

The scarecrow in armor was knocked to the ground.

The four shots happened in an instant, leaving Su Hezhou and Sikong Zhenyue dumbfounded. It took them a long time to come to their senses.

Sikong Zhenyue couldn't help but exclaim, "Miss Jiang is truly amazing!"

Su Hezhou's eyes were also filled with shock and surprise. With such accuracy, he really wanted Miss Jiang to join his Windbreaker Feather Team.

Sikong Zhenyue ran to the scarecrow and saw that there was only one bullet hole on the front of the scarecrow's chest, which was burned by gunpowder. On the other hand, there was also a bullet hole on the back. Their proud and invincible armor had been shot through!

Su Hezhou stepped forward and, upon seeing the scene, exclaimed in amazement, "The power of this weapon is truly beyond imagination!"

Jiang Shuang said calmly, "This is nothing. If it's further away, its power will not be diminished at all."

Then she opened the metal box, revealing the rifle parts inside, and Jiang Shuang skillfully assembled the gun.

Su Hezhou stared intently at Jiang Shuang's movements, his resolve to obtain the weapon growing stronger.

After assembling the gun, Jiang Shuang gently twirled it in her hand and unleashed a burst of fire at the scarecrow in armor.

In the blink of an eye, the scarecrow was riddled with holes, and its armor was almost in pieces.

Su Hezhou and Sikong Zhenyue were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped, and their eyes widened in disbelief.

Su Hezhou snapped out of his daze and said excitedly, "Miss Jiang, if I could use this weapon, it would be a great asset to our Guard Bureau!"

Jiang Shuang stopped firing and said, "Lord Su, we have already told you the conditions for exchanging this weapon. We only want to exchange it for martial arts manuals."

The words had barely left his mouth when a sound of wind breaking was heard.

"Watch out!" Sikong Zhenyue shouted.

Jiang Shuang's ears twitched, and she instinctively rolled to the side. There, where she had been standing, was a dart stuck in the ground, deeply embedded. It was thrown with internal force!

Su Hezhou's face darkened, and he shouted, "Who dares to launch a sneak attack here!"
