Qin Yue Zhao said, "It would take four days to get from Liangcheng to Nanguan, even at the fastest horse speed?"
"Uncle, send someone with my secret letter and token to see General Chu. He will definitely help us!"
Although General Chu and Huo's army were at odds, it was only on political views; they were not mindless individuals.
Now that the country is beset by internal and external troubles, as the Grand General who protects the nation, he will not confuse public and private matters.
Huo Tingye nodded.
"Princess, rest assured, this humble general will certainly handle this matter properly."
Before long, Huo Tingye's confidant, Huo Ziming, set off from the dense forest path, used ropes to descend the cliff, walked through the canyon, and ran all the way towards the southern suburbs.
His martial arts skills were superb, and with the cover of the yellow sand, he disappeared into the night like a cunning rabbit.
Qin Yue Zhao said to the others, "This matter must be kept strictly confidential. Anyone who dares to leak even a little bit will be executed without mercy!"
Just then, the treasure basin, which had been silent for half a day, suddenly made a "thump" sound.
Everyone turned around at the same time.
A water glass stood quietly on the table.
The cup is thicker at the top and thinner at the bottom, and is pure white. In the center is a small green figure wearing a crown, surrounded by water ripples and mountain patterns.
Upon seeing this, one of the lieutenants suddenly widened his eyes.
"Your Highness, look! Don't the gods hear our words and agree with our help to you? Isn't the woman wearing the crown in the middle referring to you?"
"Yes, this woman has thick eyebrows and big eyes, she really looks like the princess!"
Qin Yue Zhao also stared at the paper cup, wondering if this was really what the gods meant?
After sending the message to Qin Yue Zhao, Chu Xiao drove to the antique shop.
Wanmei, the beautiful owner of the antique shop, hurriedly came out to greet them.
"Oh, handsome, you're here again."
Wanmei wore her hair in a bun and a moon-white cheongsam embroidered with lifelike daisy patterns. The collar, hem, and cuffs were decorated with white lace trim.
Straight, snow-white legs and slender, graceful arms were faintly visible.
Chu Xiao's gaze unconsciously fell on the white lace stockings at the top of her thighs.
"Is Miss Huo here?"
Wanmei handed him the tea and smiled.
"Mr. Chu, you're right. If you have any treasures, I can take a look first."
As she spoke, her fingers climbed up Chu Xiao's arm.
"Mr. Chu, I've always had a question for you: where did you get all these antiques?"
Chu Xiao felt a tingling sensation all over his body from being teased, and subconsciously leaned back.
"They were all left over from my family."
"A family heirloom?"
Wan Mei's smile deepened, and she placed one of her beautiful legs directly next to Chu Xiao's leg, seemingly rubbing it lightly.
"Mr. Chu, you've cooperated with us so many times, it seems you still don't trust Wan Mei?"
Chu Xiao stared into Wan Mei's beautiful eyes, "What I said is true. If Miss Huo is not here, I will come again tomorrow."
Wanmei quickly stood up straight and said with a charming smile, "Don't rush, you haven't said what you want to do today yet. I'll tell Master for you."
Chu Xiao stopped in his tracks.
"I've come today to ask Miss Huo for a favor."
"What kind of help do you need?" Wan Mei's interest was piqued instantly.
Chu Xiao said unhurriedly, "I would like to invite Miss Huo to hold an auction and invite well-known entrepreneurs from S City to participate."
