In her previous life, her eldest brother died early, her second sister went blind due to illness, her third brother became autistic, and she herself lived a life of poverty and hardship, scavenging...
Ying was indeed very smart. When he saw the young lady, Miss Youran and Young Master Haoran being taken away, he quickly reported the situation to the head of the family, not daring to hide a single thing, including what Miss Youran did after returning to the mainland, including Young Master Haoran's shelter and protection, and including the young lady's embarrassment.
Of course, the most important thing is what Zhou wanted to say, which was well-reasoned and led to many words that hurt the people above him.
After hearing this, the head of the Kong family burst into laughter. It was very interesting. He wanted to meet this Miss Zhou.
"Okay, don't worry. The review is necessary. Youran should learn a lesson, and Haoran still needs training. Once this matter is completed and they are free, we can send Haoran out into society to train him.
As for my cousin, she's also lacking practice and doesn't quite understand mainland China's legal system and privacy rights. Hmm, tell her to read up on the Constitution when she has time. Hahahaha, this Miss Zhou is really interesting.
Ying shuddered. The head of the family always had a cold face and rarely smiled, but he had smiled twice in just a short while. He felt inexplicably scared.
"Yes, Patriarch."
Ying took advantage of the guards' shift change to sneak into the room and quietly convey the master's words to the young lady.
Kong Xianxian's eyes narrowed slightly. Her cousin was an unfathomable person and she had never seen a second expression on his face. What happened this time?
She lowered her head, looked at her pale and bloodless fingers, and sighed softly. She actually envied the lives of ordinary people, but unfortunately, her family's mission required her to sacrifice everything.
Only one day later, Kong Xianxian was released. The damming of the Huaihe River had been completed. Spring was the time when the Huaihe River was relatively quiet, so they had to hurry.
Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran followed the captain to the embankment. The cut-off river was exactly the area Zhou Xiang pointed out. Zhou Xiang nodded secretly. The captain still favored his own people.
This section of the river has been drained, revealing the wet sandy beach.
Kong Xianxian was walking around with a compass. Zhou Xiang leaned on Ling Ran's shoulder and asked, "Do you think she can open it?"
Ling Ran shook his head. "I don't know. Sigh~ If it can't be opened, what should we do? I really want to finish the work quickly and go home to prepare the banquet."
"Just keep waiting! Since we've already discovered it, I believe we can definitely open it. Too much time has passed, there must be loopholes."
"Then wait!"
A day passed and the work was completed with nothing.
Three days passed, and still nothing was found, not even the light curtain appeared.
Five days later, Kong Xianxian couldn't help but ask Zhou Xiang whether he had lied about military intelligence.
Zhou Xiang rolled his eyes at her. "Use your brain. Why would I tell such a big lie? Am I crazy? If you can't do it, just say no. Don't waste time. The Huai River will be unsafe in June. The temporary dike that cuts off the river must be removed."
Kong Xianxian's face looked very ugly. She could sense the formation, but she couldn't activate it. She was a little anxious and couldn't help but find someone to take the blame. She forgot about Zhou Xiang's sharp tongue and was ridiculed by her instead.
Two days later, she had no choice but to tell Tang Ganwen that she couldn't arouse it. Tang Ganwen was also anxious. He also tried, but to no avail.
"Zhou Xiang, do you have any solution? How did you see that light curtain at that time?"
Zhou Xiang raised her eyebrows. As soon as she took out the jade slip, a light screen appeared. Could she speak?
"Let me think about it! The situation was too chaotic back then. I'll go back with Ling Ran and think about it carefully. We'll talk about it at lunch."
"Okay!" Tang Ganwen looked at Kong Xianxian. Could it be that Zhou Xiang wanted to avoid the Kong family?
Zhou Xiang didn't care what the captain thought and pulled Ling Ran back to his residence.
"Ling Ran, what do you think we should do? This is not good for us. If we can't open the light curtain after it appears, it will be the Kong family's problem. Now we can't even open the light curtain, which makes us very passive."
Ling Ran frowned and thought, "The jade slip is gone. Even if it was there, I can't take it out."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiang clapped his hands. "The contents of the jade slip are formed by the cooperation of mental power and spiritual energy. I wonder if the one from the Wang family will be useful?"
"Silly, how can the information inside be known to others? As long as you take it out, you must hand it over."
"You watch outside. I'll go see if the jade slip can be cleaned. The tape can be cleaned, the brain can be cleaned, so this thing should be cleanable too."
Ling Ran was guarding the door of the room. Zhou Xiang entered the space, took out the jade slip and repeatedly read the information to find a solution. The information in the jade slip was already very vague, including the final information about the three ancestral objects of the Wang family.
Zhou thought for a moment, could it be that after she read it so many times, the spiritual power of the information left in it became weaker?
I was shocked and continued reading.
I read it a few more times, but the information inside was gone. However, the jade slip began to crack. Oh my god, please don’t! My head is swelling from reading it, please don’t let it break into pieces!
She clutched the jade slip tightly, flashed out of space, and ran with Ling Ran, "Hurry up, this thing is about to break. Let's try it and say that this stone was picked up. We poor people don't know jade. This is a stone, a beautiful stone."
Ling Ran nodded, "You tell me later, I'll just remember it," and then he pulled Zhou Xiang to run.
The captain was startled when he saw Ling Ran and the other man running towards him from afar.
Zhou Xiang didn't care about anything else and pretended to run to the position of the array light screen that she knew.
"Ms. Kong, this thing in my hand is about to break. I don't know if it will be useful. You must look carefully."
Kong Xianxian walked up to Zhou Xiang with a compass in her hand and asked, "What are you holding in your hand?"
"Shitou, stop talking nonsense and concentrate! This stone is about to break. If you can't see clearly in a short time, don't blame me."
What Zhou Xiang was afraid of was that the broken jade slip in his hand could only make the light screen flash by.
Ling Ran also pulled the captain over.
Zhou Xiang opened his palm, revealing the cracked jade slip in his hand. A curtain of light rose up, and under the gentle sunlight, the four people could clearly see the scene inside.
Tang Ganwen took a deep breath. How big could it be in there? The distance they had cut off was clearly not enough. With so many ships, even if they were all fragments, their value would be incalculable.
Kong Xianxian opened her eyes wide. Spiritual energy, spiritual energy, there must be spiritual energy in there, otherwise, she would not be able to find the formation, let alone not be able to activate this light curtain. The formation needs spiritual energy to maintain.
The light curtain existed for less than a minute before disappearing.
Zhou Xiang held the crumbs in his palm out in front of Tang Ganwen, "Captain, I saw this stone and just remembered, oops! Miss Kong, do you want to step aside?"
Kong Xianxian was a little anxious. She wanted to hear how Zhou Xiang discovered this place.
Tang Ganwen thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "We still have to let her hear the information. We still have to rely on the Kong family to open this light curtain later."
Zhou Xiang no longer targeted Kong Xianxian. Just listen to her! They were all lies anyway.
