"That's great."
The two reached a consensus, and Wei Yunlan picked up a pen and wrote a personal letter to Queen Ji Yun of Qimeng in front of Qi Xu. The letter stated that this was the amount of medicinal materials that could be collected within one day, and that they would send a second batch with larger quantities later.
In addition, it is necessary to state clearly what you want in this transaction.
The journey to the northwestern countries is still treacherous and dangerous, but with the experiences of the previous two or three times, the Tianshu Pavilion guards responsible for this route have become familiar with it, and casualties rarely occur.
Currently, this team specializing in transporting supplies between Dayong and the northwestern countries is led by Chen Yan and Zou Yun, who originally accompanied Wei Yunlan in visiting the northwestern countries.
When Zou Yun was not on a mission, he remained in Beiguan City.
Chen Yanze brought some men and stationed them at the entrance of Yandu Gorge to prevent any shortsighted "little thieves" from sneaking into Dayong's territory through the entrance of Yandu Gorge.
Not counting the previous trip led by Wei Yunlan, they have traded supplies with the northwestern countries twice in the past few months. This time, Zou Yun and Chen Yan led the team at the same time to ensure that the things Queen Qimeng wanted could be delivered to her without any mistakes.
Qi Xu smeared Wei Yunlan's handwritten letter with a special potion made by Tianshu Pavilion, sealed it, and gave it to Zou Yun.
After dealing with this matter, Qi Xu dismissed everyone else.
There were only two of them left in the big tent.
"But what happened?" It was just a trivial matter, so there was obviously no need to ask others to leave.
After all, those who can appear in this big tent are all Qi Xu’s most trusted confidants, so their loyalty is beyond doubt.
However, what Wei Yunlan did not expect was that the matter that made Qi Xu treat it so cautiously had nothing to do with anything else, but was related to himself.
"Miss Wei, I just received news from the capital today."
"The Marquis of Jinyang, I have been looking for an ancient jade in the past two days. An ancient jade with a lotus-shaped Guanyin figure engraved on it."
Wei Yunlan's face twitched.
She knows this very well!
The faint lotus mark the size of a fingernail on the palm of her hand now, isn’t it left by the ancient jade that was engraved with the image of Guanyin on a lotus platform?
The ancient jade has long disappeared.
It became a space under her control.
Naturally, it was impossible for Shen Feng to find it.
But how did Shen Feng know about this ancient jade, and how much did he know?
Wei Yunlan became suspicious, and then he heard Qi Xu continue to say: "However, the Marquis of Jinyang seems to have determined that the ancient jade came from the Marquis's Mansion. In addition to the Marquis's Mansion itself, the areas of search include the pawnshops and pawnbrokers that the Marquis's Mansion has cooperated with in recent years, as well as the servants who have left the Marquis's Mansion."
"The Duke of Liu's Mansion, to which the Marquis of Jinyang's Mansion had sent a large amount of apology, was also visited once by the Marquis of Jinyang's son."
Wei Yunlan: “…”
It has been a long time since we last met. Although I don’t know where Chen Feng got this ancient jade from, I can be sure that this man’s brain is the same as before, without any improvement!
After Marquis Jinyang passed away, Duke Liu's Mansion did not continue to add insult to injury. It was already good enough for them to target them. But now they dared to come to their door and ask for the compensation they had given in the past...
Aren’t you afraid of being put in a sack and beaten up?
As if he knew what Wei Yunlan was thinking, Qi Xu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Early yesterday morning, the son of Marquis Jinyang was put in a sack and one of his arms and legs were broken."
Although it was not very authentic to make fun of others for being beaten and injured, if this "other" was Chen Feng, Wei Yunlan would only want to say, "You deserve it!"
Compared to what happened to Shen Feng.
Wei Yunlan was more curious about another thing, "Jinghong, have you been sending people to keep an eye on the Marquis of Jinyang's Mansion?"
Qi Xu nodded calmly.
"I take money from people and help them get rid of disasters. Miss Wei spent a full 20,000 taels of silver to find Tianshu Pavilion. Naturally, I have to clear Miss Wei's worries."
It seems reasonable to think this way.
Wei Yunlan forgot that her deal with Tianshu Pavilion had ended long before Tianshu Pavilion escorted the Wei family to Beiguan.
What Tianshu Pavilion had done had long gone beyond the scope of the original 20,000 taels of silver.
"Miss Wei also lived in the Jinyang Marquis's Mansion for a period of time in the past. Do you remember anyone in the mansion who saw this ancient jade?"
Hearing Qi Xu's question, Wei Yunlan looked at him with some surprise.
Just hearing the first half of the sentence, she thought Qi Xu wanted to ask her if she knew the whereabouts of the ancient jade.
After all that had happened before, and the fact that he had saved the life of the Second Prince Huyan from an assassin's knife last time, Qi Xu should have had some guesses about her abilities.
Asking who else in the mansion knew about this ancient jade was actually a disguised way of saying that Qi Xu knew that the ancient jade belonged to her.
She thought Qi Xu would continue to ask questions and explore the use of the ancient jade, but she didn't expect that he didn't ask any questions about the ancient jade itself, but asked if there was anyone else who knew about this ancient jade.
The meaning of this question is obvious.
Once someone in the capital knows that the ancient jade is related to her, the people left in the capital by Tianshu Pavilion will take action to completely eliminate this hidden danger and prevent Shen Feng or others from having evidence to trace it back to her.
A warm feeling slowly flowed through my heart.
However, Qi Xu was worrying too much. This ancient jade was previously kept in a secret compartment in the dressing box. Even Tingxue and Ningshuang, who were packing her personal belongings, didn't know about it, let alone other people in the Marquis of Jinyang's mansion.
Besides herself, the only two people who knew about this ancient jade were her great-grandfather and her mother, who gave it to her.
Of these two men, one has already passed away, and the other is in Beiguan. Neither of them can be used by others.
…
Outside the Beiguan City, Qi Xu felt relieved after receiving Wei Yunlan's reply.
