King Nan took the bill and looked through it carefully. He found that Qiu Mobai was the one who spent most of the money.
I bought several pieces of fine brocade clothes, scent bags, purses, jade pendants, and more than a dozen dishes for each meal. Chicken, duck, fish, meat, everything.
I also buy some snacks and fruits from outside from time to time.
The worst thing is that he takes a bath almost every day, and uses various scented bags, flower petals and other things when taking a bath.
It's simply luxury to the extreme.
As a result, Qiu Mobai alone spent seven or eight thousand taels of silver on the Southern King's team of more than fifty people.
The Southern King and the rest of the people only had six or seven thousand.
King Nan looked at the bill and his face turned green.
He was so angry that he wanted to take the bill to find someone. He wanted to teach Qiu Mobai what it meant to be frugal.
As a result, he was stopped by his subordinates.
The subordinate said in a low voice.
"Don't be angry, Your Majesty. He has spent so much of our money now. We will deduct it from the grain later!"
"When we sold the grain, we paid a deposit. We got the grain. But we have the final say on whether to pay the balance."
King Nan thought it made sense, but he still felt anxious.
He was born into a poor family, just like Zhao Jingtian.
Even if he was crowned king or emperor now, he would not dare to be so extravagant.
Just say that I've been staying in an inn these few days.
The Nan Wang's daily meals consisted of two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, a bowl of staple food, and a bowl of soup. He didn't dare to waste anything. He always ate everything up.
The clothes I wear are washed and worn repeatedly.
But Qiu Mobai, a teenager, had a big meal every day, which was full of fish and meat. He didn't believe he could finish it.
The more I think about him, the angrier I get.
But he couldn't lose the big picture for the small. He could only endure it. Nan Wang felt that he was almost becoming a turtle after enduring this trip.
What the Southern King didn't know was that there was actually a Hua Qingqing. Qiu Mobai wasn't interested in big fish and meat, but Hua Qingqing was most interested in eating.
In order to prevent her from being controlled, Qiu Mobai could only feed her with delicious food every day. In this way, the little girl could not go out and stayed in her small room every day, sighing uncontrollably.
King Nan didn't want to get too angry, so he diverted his attention. Thinking of Hua Changxiao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he frowned and asked.
"Where's Hua Changxiaoren? Why hasn't he come back for so long?"
The subordinates didn't like Hua Changxiao, so no one paid attention to where he went.
My subordinates looked around but didn't find anyone.
King Nan immediately became alert.
"Send someone to check outside General Hou's mansion. See if the general has returned? See if Hua Changxiao has been there?"
He thought that it was possible that General Hou had returned, discovered something, and arrested Hua Changxiao.
Another possibility is that Hua Changxiao ran away on his own.
But the latter is unlikely. If it is the latter, he will be in big trouble.
His eyes flickered slightly. He asked again.
"General Hou's wife and daughter have been found."
The subordinate shook his head.
"The people we sent out yesterday afternoon haven't come back yet."
King Nan narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and gave the order.
"Go and call the groom."
Soon the groom was brought in.
This groom was about the same height and build as the Southern King.
King Nan asked the others to leave before looking at the groom.
"It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but only a moment to deploy it. Today is the day you should repay me."
The groom pursed his lips and bowed respectfully.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Don't worry, I will take good care of your wife and children."
The groom nodded, grateful.
After a while, a down-and-out bald monk was driven out by the shopkeeper.
"Amitabha! Benefactor, please be kind and give me something to eat."
"Get out! Get out! Get out! This is not a charity place. I don't believe in Buddhism either."
The monk had no choice but to put his hands together and bow, and then he was about to leave.
The little boy felt sorry for him and secretly gave him two steamed buns.
The monk thanked him quietly and gave him a lucky charm in return.
The little boy did not refuse and took it and put it in his arms.
Many people just looked at him, and some even threw a few coins at the monk. Then no one paid any attention to him.
The monk had no choice but to walk slowly to the other side.
The little boy prepared a large table of delicious food and sent it to Qiu Mobai.
Qiu Mobai held Hua Qingqing and sat down at the table.
The child handed over a note.
Qiu Mobai took it.
Qiu Mobai also picked up a piece of cake for Hua Qingqing.
Hua Qingqing was bored and was just about to eat.
Suddenly I was stunned.
Just threw away the chopsticks.
"Hey, it's poisonous!"
[Why is it poisoning again? There are always villains who want to harm me. 】
Qiu Mobai and the little boy were both stunned.
The little boy reacted and immediately shook his head.
"How could someone poison me? I prepared all the meals myself."
Qiu Mobai also felt that there was something wrong here.
Hua Qingqing wrinkled her little nose, sniffed here and there, and finally locked onto the little boy.
"The poison is in you."
The child was stunned. He quickly searched his body and took out all the items and put them on the table.
There were small change, a purse, a sachet, some paper, a fire stick, a charcoal pencil, and a talisman.
Hua Qingqing pointed at the amulet.
"poisonous!"
[This poison. Once it comes into contact with your hands, your hands will get poison on anything. Although it won't kill you, it will cause you to have stomach pain.]
[It’s okay to lie in bed for a day or two.]
Qiu Mobai frowned and looked at the little boy.
"Where did this come from?"
The little boy gritted his teeth and told the monk what happened just now.
