Chapter 541 Their Secret

Yan Qingqiu naturally didn't dare to say anything, and just followed An Yan and Li Rongsen to the city gate.

The city gate was still deserted, and the old man hadn't arranged for a carriage to arrive. This made An Yan frown. This was the first time she was so anxious. Firstly, she wanted to see how many herbs there were, and secondly, it was related to her health. She said, "It's rare for the old man to be so slow. He usually arranges it a long time ago."

Yan Qingqiu just looked at Li Rongsen without saying anything.

Li Rongsen whispered to An Yan softly, "The herbs won't run away. I've already ordered them to stay there. Going down is dangerous. It's said that the place is like a sunken flat land, and it's very high from top to bottom."

An Yan thought about it carefully and said, "The growing environment of Acacia grass is very special, and its own growth patterns are also very strange, which is why it is so rare."

Li Rongsen nodded and said, "That's exactly what I meant."

Yan Qingqiu just listened quietly without expressing any opinion.

"If we can find one plant, we can find a whole area. They have a strong reproductive capacity, but they will all wither at night, so we have to find them before the sun sets." An Yan seemed to be talking to herself, but also seemed to be telling Li Rongsen.

Li Rongsen looked up at the sun and said, "It's still in time. It's just past lunch time."

An Yan also looked up at the sky.

At this time, the old man came over with two handsome horses. He said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I specially picked out two fine horses."

"You're not making a carriage?" Yan Qingqiu asked, a little surprised.

The old man frowned. He hadn't heard Li Rongsen mention that Yan Qingqiu was going too, so he hadn't made any arrangements for him. He said, "I didn't expect you to go too. Let them arrange a carriage."

"You don't have to go. Rong Sen and I will be back soon." An Yan said as he turned over and mounted one of the white horses. Then he pulled the reins and squeezed the horse's belly, signaling the horse to run quickly.

"She is so anxious, which shows that she is hiding something in her heart." Yan Qingqiu whispered to Li Rongsen.

Li Rongsen hadn't mounted his horse yet. He said to Yan Qingqiu, "You should learn how to ride a horse. You'll have to ride a lot in the future."

"I'm just too lazy to learn. I always feel that it won't be useful very often." Yan Qingqiu always felt that riding a horse was not necessary, so he had not learned it seriously until now, but now he felt a little regretful.

Li Rongsen blew a whistle, and in just a moment, the big cat came running towards him.

The old man quickly said, "It would be better if Yan Qingqiu didn't go."

"Big Cat hasn't been out for a walk for a long time. Just take him out for some fresh air and let him move around." Li Rongsen said as he patted Big Cat's neck, and then motioned Yan Qingqiu to come up.

Yan Qingqiu was of course delighted. He jumped to sit next to Li Rongsen and said to him, "You are really kind."

"The big cat that An Yan was reluctant to use is used as a mount by us today." Li Rongsen said as he patted the big tiger's ears, and saw him rushing forward like flying.

But Li Rongsen said, "Big Cat, slow down. You don't have to go so fast."

Big Cat slowed down after hearing this, and in front of him was An Yan who was riding a horse.

Yan Qingqiu asked Li Rongsen, "Are you ready? She's such a shrewd person, don't let the secret show."

"Don't worry, I have arranged it early in the morning. There are many of them there, enough to be real." Li Rongsen said confidently. He had no choice but to do so, so he hoped he could get away with it.

"I wonder what she would think if she knew that a piece of Acacia grass is equivalent to a drop of your blood." Yan Qingqiu sighed lightly, feeling that it was not easy for the two of them.

"Don't tell her. Cooperate with me and perform this play well." Li Rongsen reminded him again.

"I know, I won't let it slip, otherwise I would have told her long ago." Yan Qingqiu said, indicating that Li Rongsen didn't need to be so unconfident in himself.

Li Rongsen added, "She hid it from me. I could clearly see that she wasn't feeling well. It must have been because that incident had started to flare up. But she's too strong-willed. That's her only shortcoming. Naturally, I can let her rely on me."

"Aren't you afraid that she will be angry with you after she finds out? What if she ignores you?" Yan Qingqiu asked him.

Li Rongsen chuckled and said, "What do you mean by ignoring me? By then, you'll have forgotten me, so how could you still be angry with me? If you were really angry with me, I would be happy instead."

Yan Qingqiu lowered his eyes and said nothing. After a long time, he said, "You two deceived each other, and I became your accomplice." As an outsider, he felt helpless.

"I wonder how the old man has arranged the marriage." Li Rongsen suddenly remembered this matter.

Yan Qingqiu laughed and said, "That's definitely a complete deal. You can get married whenever you want. It will definitely be a lively occasion, and I'm sure there will be many people coming to celebrate."

"I have selfish motives and want her to spend more time with me, but I know this won't work." Li Rongsen felt an inexplicable surge of sadness.

Yan Qingqiu didn't say anything, but saw that the big cat had already caught up with An Yan, so he shouted to her: "An Yan, look who we brought with us?"

An Yan turned her head to look at them and said, "You're going to make Big Cat work hard again. Wouldn't it be better to let him rest a little more? Is Xiao Hei coming with you?"

"I didn't let him come, I only called Big Cat." Li Rongsen told her.

An Yan nodded and said nothing.

"I just wanted to take him out for some fresh air. That small yard isn't big enough for him to stretch out." Li Rongsen explained to her, and then said, "Let Big Cat take you downstairs later. It'll be safer."

"I haven't trained the big cat into a divine beast yet, so I don't want him to take risks. I'm afraid he might get hurt, which would be bad," An Yan said. She actually kept the big tiger as a pet and didn't like him to work normally, but if Li Rongsen asked, she had no objection.

"What kind of divine beast do you want to train him into? Can it fly in the sky?" Yan Qingqiu asked her.

"It can be more flexible, more powerful, and run faster." An Yan said as she waved lightly at the big cat, and the big cat ran forward as fast as the wind.

In just a short while, they arrived at the entrance of Huashe Mountain.

Qinghua was standing at the door. He thought it was about time, so he came out to wait for Li Rongsen and the others to come. However, he was almost blinded by a strong wind. When the wind stopped, he could see clearly that there was a big tiger in front of him. He couldn't help but feel a little frightened, but fortunately he didn't show it.

The old tiger roared, and it seemed that he was going to shake the Flower Snake Mountain.

Yan Qingqiu also shook his head, almost fainting, and said, "This big guy can run so fast, as fast as the wind."

Li Rongsen also found it incredible. He had thought that An Yan had never cared about him, but he didn't expect that she had been taking good care of him. He got off the big cat, walked to Qinghua, and said, "She will be here for a while."

"Why, you two grown men came here on this divine beast, but your city lord came here by the ordinary way?" Qinghua asked with a smile. He heard that An Yan was very fond of Mr. Li, so this must be true.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw An Yan riding a white horse and galloping towards him. But it must be said that he was really heroic and elegant, worthy of being the lord of West City.

The group of people behind Qinghua immediately stood in two rows, as if welcoming An Yan's arrival.
