Chapter 249 There's definitely no place for you!
Xiao Tingshan watched Liancheng hurriedly change his shoes, then took the bottle of wine handed to him by Jinzhu, and seemed to be thinking about something.
Liancheng's temperament is changeable, but Shen Shuyi knows his temperament very well.
He could have followed suit, but he and Liancheng were not that close after all. In addition, the last time Wenren Sect took action, Liancheng was already unhappy.
Even if he could learn Shen Shuyi's methods, Liancheng would not accept them.
Xiao Tingshan sighed softly, not knowing how he had offended Shen Shuyi. Otherwise, he could have asked her to say a few good words for him in front of Liancheng today.
But it doesn't matter. He never pins his hopes on others for what he wants.
Whatever he wants, he will plan for himself.
Xiao Tingshan lowered his eyes, hiding the calculating look in them.

After changing into thick and comfortable shoes and drinking half a pot of hot wine, Lian Cheng felt hot all over and just felt so comfortable.
"Girl, just wait and see. I can easily climb to the top of the mountain in one breath!"
Shen Shuyi smiled and said gently, "Climb up and be carried down by someone?"
"Why do you speak so harshly, girl? Be careful that you won't be able to get married in the future!" Lian Cheng was so angry that she jumped up and down. The originally boring mountain road became much more cheerful because of Shen Shuyi's company.
Even the long, winding path and stone steps seemed to have become much shorter.
Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "If you can't get married, then don't get married. There has never been a reason for a woman to have to get married."
Hearing this, Xiao Tingshan couldn't help but look at her again.
Lian Cheng couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Heretical!"
After walking about another one-third of the distance, Lian Cheng and Xiao Tingshan were both very tired and struggling.
Shen Shuyi was fine. After all, they had to kneel after every step, so they couldn't walk fast. She didn't kneel, and except for a little soreness in her arms from holding the umbrella, she walked very slowly but didn't feel tired.
Seeing Liancheng panting, Shen Shuyi smiled and joked, "Why don't we go back home? I see you can't walk anymore. If we go back now, I can still make you a pot."
Lian Cheng was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "Who said I can't walk? You are only boosting others' ambitions and destroying your own prestige!"
Shen Shuyi smiled and urged, "Then you should walk faster and stop looking so lifeless."
Hearing this, Liancheng was so angry!
I just feel that I can't lose face no matter what I say!
Xiao Tingshan's gaze fell on Shen Shuyi with a little more inquiry. His face looked even uglier than Liancheng's. He didn't know if it was due to the wind and snow, but he was coughing badly.
Shen Shuyi raised his eyes and looked at him: "It's useless for you to look at me, Lord Song. You definitely won't get a share of the pot!"
Xiao Tingshan: "..."
Under Shen Shuyi's merciless whipping, Liancheng climbed two-thirds of the mountain road breathlessly. The material at his knees was worn to tatters, and a few pieces of cloth fluttered in the wind, which looked quite funny.
"I can't take it anymore...I need to take a break!"
Liancheng sat down on the steps, thinking that the people who built this mountain road were not afraid of losing their good karma. It was so long and so steep, was this for good people to walk on?
Seeing him stop, Xiao Tingshan also stopped.
"Young master, drink some water quickly." Songbai quickly poured out a glass of water from the water bag and handed it to Xiao Tingshan.
"Cough cough..." Xiao Tingshan coughed a few more times. After he calmed down a little, he reached out to take the cup.
Lian Cheng frowned and looked at him and said, "Why did you, a young master from an aristocratic family, come here to suffer this? You didn't take the good official road over there, but chose to come here to ask for trouble!"
Seeing that he was willing to talk to him, Xiao Tingshan smiled weakly: "The one who can save me is not the gods and Buddhas in this Huguo Temple, but Mr. Liancheng. If you are not willing to save me, what is the use of flattening the official road?"
Lian Cheng raised his head and took a few gulps of the liquor, his voice a little hoarse: "The rules cannot be abolished!"
Xiao Tingshan said gently, "I know, and I have no intention of breaking your rules. It's just that these few days, my people found a young lady who looks very similar to Miss Lian Qiao, but we haven't found her yet. But because we already have a clue, I just hope that Mr. Lian Cheng can give me a chance and wait for some time."
Xiao Tingshan's words did not cause much reaction in Liancheng.
After all, over the years, countless people have come to him with traces of Forsythia, and he has long since gone from his initial anticipation and excitement to numbness and calmness.
These firm and confident words did not sound as impactful as Shen Shuyi's painting.
After all, it is too easy to find someone with certainty. It is more reliable to provide a clue like Shen Shuyi.
"Okay, as long as you find someone, I will definitely cure your illness." Liancheng said casually.
He didn't care, but Shen Shuyi raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Tingshan.
In her previous life, she had been with this man for several years, although she knew that he did not have the talent to govern a country, nor did he have the strategy to conquer the world on the battlefield.
But this man's greatest strength lies in his ability to endure. Not only that, he is also good at planning and lying in wait. His resilience is rare in the world.
In addition, although he is hypocritical and suspicious, he is good at learning from others' strengths and making up for his own weaknesses, and is very willing to listen to other people's opinions.
Shen Shuyi admitted that even without himself, Xiao Tingshan might be able to find a place among the princes.
However, as to whether one can become the crown prince and finally reach that position, sometimes besides talent, a bit of luck may also be needed.
As for luck, no one can predict it.
After resting for a while, Liancheng stood up. Suddenly, a group of masked men in black jumped out from behind the rocks on both sides.
The man in black held a long knife and chopped at several people.
"Miss, be careful!"
Jinzhu spoke urgently and immediately stood in front of Shen Shuyi to protect him.
Shen Shuyi pushed her away, took the umbrella in his hand, and used it as a stick to block the long knife that was chopping towards him.
Lian Cheng also reacted, holding the wine gourd in his hand, and smashed it at the man in black who was closest to him.
The gourd fell from his hand, and a faint medicinal fragrance spread in the air.
The first few men in black fell to the ground.
At this time, the guards brought by Xiao Tingshan also rushed forward. He did not bring many people, especially this time he did not bring a master like Wenren Zong.
But fortunately, he is the prince of the Duke's Mansion after all, and he has gained many confidants over the years.
Therefore, even if there are only seven or eight people, they can hold out for a while.
However, this group of men in black were obviously well prepared. Even though a few of them were knocked down by Lian Cheng at the beginning, the remaining people were now fighting hard with Xiao Tingshan's guards and even gradually gained an overwhelming advantage.
Shen Shuyi's gaze fell on the masked man who was the leader and looked the most murderous, and he narrowed his eyes.
The machete this man used was no different from the one used by others, but the blade was obviously colder, with a faint blue glow. The biggest difference was that there was a red ring on the handle of his machete, which made a rustling sound as his hand raised and the machete fell.
