The wind at high altitudes seemed especially fresh.
Chu Jinjin and Zhan Qin rode in the same hot air balloon, with Jie Du and other Black Eagle Mountain elites following behind.
As far as the eye can see, the mountains and rivers meander and undulate, and the distant sea merges with the horizon. This is probably a beautiful sight that most people in this era will never see in their lifetime.
Chu Jinjin hadn't been in such a good mood in a long time. The wind tousled her hair, bringing with it the scent of freedom.
A bird of unknown species discovered a huge object nearby. Startled, it tried to fly away but found it couldn't shake off the object.
Chu Jinjin burst into laughter: "Look, it's hilarious!"
This mission felt like a sweet trip for the two of them.
Zhan Qin nodded absentmindedly: "It's very funny."
Chu Jinjin spoke directly: "Something's not right with you. What's wrong?"
The two of them hadn't spent much time together in so long, and with such a rare opportunity, and no one watching, they didn't even hug or kiss.
Chu Jinjin exclaimed dramatically, "I know! You've fallen for another woman? Tell me quickly, who is it?"
Zhan Qin: "...No."
He was in no mood at all. The baby in his belly was making him very worried. His pregnancy symptoms were so severe that he was likely to miscarry. Thinking about this, he couldn't feel happy at all.
Chu Jinjin didn't press the matter further. Everyone has their own secrets. As for Zhan Qin, perhaps it's normal to feel sad since he's about to leave.
Chu Jinjin sighed inwardly and changed the subject: "I will keep a close watch on you. If anything seems amiss, just shout. Safety comes first."
The plan was simple: Zhan Qin would lure the Black Dragon and find a way to follow him to the ship. Once the location was confirmed, they would swarm him.
Zhan Qin nodded: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Chu Jinjin was still reassured, but she still cautioned, "Be careful, don't let him take advantage of you, or I'll be annoyed."
Forced by circumstances, she had no choice but to agree, but love is selfish. Just thinking about her handsome man having to sell his body made Chu Jinjin incredibly jealous.
Zhan Qin mustered his courage and asked, "Jinjin, if we have children in the future, what would you like to name them?"
These words sent a shiver down Chu Jinjin's spine. Her worst fears had come true. She forced herself to say, "You go ahead and write. You're a good writer."
Zhan Qin insisted, "Then you should come up with a nickname."
If the child can be saved, then when the baby is born, Jinjin will probably still be in the Northern Desert, and the only consolation will be the name she gives the child.
Chu Jinjin didn't dare ask any more questions and asked with difficulty, "Is it okay if it's 'Bouncing' for boys and 'Dada' for girls?"
Zhan Qin: "......."
Forget it, I shouldn't be angry anymore.
The wind was perfect today, a tailwind, and the hot air balloon drifted over the mountains, arriving three times faster than expected. Soon, a sharp whistle sounded from behind.
That means we've arrived at our landing site.
Hot air balloons are high in the sky, and if they were discovered, it would definitely cause a stir. The landing location was not far from the East China Sea, and it just happened to be out of sight.
Chu Jinjin controlled the descent slowly, and then the hot air balloon where Jie Du was located followed.
As it turns out, there are differences in technology, but not in intelligence. Since the last time it escaped from Beijing, the hot air balloon has undergone significant improvements.
This time, Jie Du will personally lead the team, and the elites will arrive one after another. After they leave, the logistics team will wait here.
If all else fails, you can evacuate safely.
Jie Du solemnly cupped his hands in thanks: "Brother Zhan, I entrust everything to you."
In order to successfully seduce the Black Dragon, Jie Du dressed up specially today, from his hair to his clothes, to make him look exceptionally elegant.
Zhan Qin casually returned the greeting, gave Chu Jinjin a deep look, and then turned and descended the mountain with a sorrowful expression.
After he walked away, Chu Jinjin scratched her head and asked, "Chief Jie, do you feel that Zhan Qin is acting strangely?"
Jie Du certainly sensed it, but he couldn't figure out what had happened.
Before the rise of the Black Dragon, the East China Sea was just an ordinary, nameless coastline with scattered villages and fishermen. Over the decades, it has undergone earth-shattering changes. Because it is far from towns, it is a well-known no-man's-land. While it has become prosperous, it has also become a favorite place for people of all social classes.
Zhan Qin visited once a few years ago.
Seeing it again, I was still slightly shocked.
The port on the shore hasn't changed much, but on land, people come and go, speaking all sorts of accents, and there are even people from foreign lands.
They all came for the smuggled salt.
Many more shops have sprung up: taverns, inns, shops selling all kinds of seafood, pearls, and corals. No wonder it's called a mini-capital city; in some ways, it's even more prosperous and bustling than the capital.
Zhan Qin stopped in front of a pearl stall.
The pearl shop owner was very experienced. Following his gaze, she picked up a pink pearl and said with a smile, "Young master has a good eye. Your wife will surely like it."
There is a difference between an unmarried man and a married man.
In his eyes, Zhan Qin was somewhere in between; in any case, whether or not they were married, his wife would definitely like him.
Zhan Qin actually wanted to buy it for the baby in her belly.
He loves his daughter, and this pink color is perfect for her.
Zhan Qin didn't even haggle over the price, willingly becoming a sucker and readily buying it.
The price isn't actually that expensive.
Zhan Qin carefully tucked the pink pearl into his bosom. Unfortunately, there was only one pink pearl. As for why he didn't think of buying one for Chu Jinjin, it was mainly because Chu Jinjin had too much jewelry, and each piece was very valuable. Such a small pearl was simply not presentable.
The further you go, the more lively it becomes.
If you look closely, you'll notice an interesting scene. Unlike other towns where women dress up carefully when they go out, here it's the opposite: the men are all extremely well-groomed, and you can see handsome men everywhere you look.
