After finishing all that, it was almost dawn. Fang Ruotang didn't want to sleep anymore, so she pulled Gu Yanjin onto the spirit boat, and the two of them watched the sunrise in a very romantic way.
The sun had just begun to peek out when Xiao Jingzi said that Gu Nancheng had been calling her.
Fang Ruotang asked him to connect with the communication bridge, and the other end hurriedly spoke.
Where are you? I'm coming to find you right away.
Fang Ruotang had a gentle smile on her lips, her head resting on Gu Yanjin's shoulder, and the two sat side by side at the front of the spirit boat.
It's not even dawn yet, what's your rush?
She almost laughed; this was too hasty.
[I'm in a hurry to see you! You don't still not want me to come, do you? We agreed on one day, so if you keep favoring Gu Yanjin, I'm going to throw a tantrum.]
Okay, okay, if you don't think it's too early, then come on over!
Fang Ruotang had the small mirror directly switch to shared mode.
Gu Nancheng could see her location.
What did you two do yesterday?
Gu Nancheng had already packed his things. Upon learning Fang Ruotang's location, he immediately took out his flying magic weapon and left the palace.
But he was reluctant to end the call with Fang Ruotang, so he inquired about the situation yesterday, as he had originally thought last night would be very difficult.
But nothing came of it.
【We didn't do anything! We just strolled around the streets, ate some street food, and oh, we watched a performance by a troupe from out of town doing iron flower fireworks. When we got back to the guesthouse, we found someone hiding in our room.】
Who's so bold? Aren't you scared?
【Me? Who am I? I'm Fang Dadan! How could I be scared? The girl hiding in my room isn't a bad person!】
Fang Ruotang told him about Zheng Yu's situation.
Gu Nancheng paused in his hurried departure from the capital.
Is this really true?
Yes! They're incredibly reckless, practically risking their lives for money.
[I'll go ask the Empress if this happens often. We can't let such a villain ruin your reputation.] Gu Nancheng said, somewhat displeased.
The current good situation is the result of the hard work of the six of them. How come, less than a year after they left, someone is already using Fang Ruotang's name to swindle and deceive people?
"No need. Asking the Empress won't do any good. Wealth can corrupt people's hearts, and she can't control it all." Fang Ruotang didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
A large forest has all kinds of birds.
Faced with absolute profit, many people are willing to risk their lives to take a gamble.
No, this might not be an isolated case. I'll call Ziqi along.
Gu Nancheng was no longer in a hurry to see Fang Ruotang. Instead, he found Cui Shixu and explained the situation. The two of them went to the palace together to see the Empress.
Fang Ruotang was both amused and exasperated, and let them do whatever they wanted.
"They probably won't be able to get here so quickly."
Fang Ruotang told Gu Yanjin about it.
Gu Yanjin felt that the surprise came too suddenly; there was even a buy-one-get-one-free promotion!
Just then, the sun was high in the sky.
Fang Ruotang yawned and said, "This temperature is perfect for sleeping! Brother Yan, how about we take a nap and then decide where to go after we wake up?"
"Okay, go to sleep! I'll stay with you."
"Okay!"
Fang Ruotang didn't sleep for long, only about an hour.
When she woke up, the spirit boat had just arrived in the Jiangnan region, and the two of them put away all the food they had bought the day before.
They went to the inn again, collected their personal belongings, had another meal, and then left.
"I just asked the waiter, and there's a scenic spot about 100 miles away with a waterfall. Would you like to go check it out?"
Do you want to go?
Fang Ruotang had seen waterfalls before, so she wasn't particularly interested.
When she asked that question, Gu Yanjin understood what she meant.
Following her lead, I said, "I don't really want to go. If you want to go, I'll go with you. If you don't want to go, we'll go directly to find the spiritual vein."
"Then let's go find the spiritual vein!"
Fang Ruotang made a decision instantly, which disappointed Gu Yanjin. He felt that there was too little time; he should have asked around more to find out what other fun and delicious places there were nearby.
He liked this simple life, just like the two of them were an ordinary couple from the common folk.
When preparing to set off to find the spiritual vein, Fang Ruotang contacted the other five people and had Xiao Jingzi give them a map with the location marked.
I'm going to check out this hidden spiritual vein now. Wait for my good news.
"Why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden? I'm coming to the Prime Minister's residence to find you right now," Huo Zhige said immediately.
If Fang Ruotang hadn't said she wanted to spend time with her family, he wouldn't have wanted to leave her for even a moment. Even when he wasn't in front of her, he didn't go back to the General's Mansion to handle matters. Instead, he went to the house that Fang Ruotang had prepared for him and met his former subordinates there.
I'm here.
Fang Ruotang then had the small mirror mark her location.
Ye Wuxia asked, puzzled.
Why did you go to Jiangnan? Who did you go with?
[My brother Yan and I came here, and we're on our way to the spiritual vein now.]
Apart from Gu Nancheng, who already knew the situation, the other four on the other side kept quiet, but quickly processed their emotions.
Only Cui Shixu glanced sideways at Gu Nancheng.
"You knew all along?"
"Yes! I went to see Xiao Ruoruo yesterday, but she coaxed me out of the manor and ran away with Gu Yanjin. However, Xiao Ruoruo promised me that she would elope with me for a day next time."
"Heh!" Cui Shixu sneered. "Very good!"
"Jealous?"
Gu Nancheng looked smug.
Cui Shixu glanced at him without even raising her eyebrows, her eyes full of affection.
