Chapter 30 Treasures
But deep in Gu Changxiao's heart, what he was most worried about was not the little Taoist priest causing trouble in Yandi.
Anyway, as long as he gets to Yan, even if he makes trouble, he will take responsibility for the young Taoist priest.
He will always remember that the young Taoist priest led the enemy alone and risked his own life to save him.
What he was worried about was that the young Taoist priest was acting so arrogantly and might be discovered by some official who had met him.
If the little Taoist priest pretends to be a prince, he will lose his life! He glanced at Jin'an who was carefully applying medicine to him. When the child talked about his brother, his eyes were full of admiration.
And the child always felt that it was because he was running around in the forest that he was captured by bandits, which led to his brother's life and death being in danger.
Look at Taoist Ji again, he has a kind face and is wholeheartedly trying to save him.
If the young Taoist priest really had an accident, how should Gu Changxiao explain to the two people in front of him?
Gu Changxiao couldn't help but think of his experience in Chang'an, that is, the palace coup that shocked the whole world. He went from being the crown prince of the East Palace to a violent king at the border.
He went from being the crown prince praised by everyone to being a traitor who was reviled by everyone and intended to kill his father and abdicate.
Haha, Gu Changxiao sneered. The one who brought him into the palace that night was his most beloved grandmother, and he had no doubt at all.
After entering the palace, he saw that the one who led the troops to stop him was his most respected uncle, and each of those who slandered him for forcing the emperor to abdicate and rebelling was his closest person.
The Queen Aunt, Prince Yu, his uncle from the Gu family, his cousin, and his beloved grandmother.
And his father, the emperor, just sat there high above him, looking at him with disgust, as if he was looking at a dead dog.
He believed that during his time as crown prince, he had never disobeyed his father and had never done anything to seize power.
But when an emperor in his prime looks at a prince who is growing stronger, they are no longer father and son, but rivals.
His relatives wanted him dead. When he was clinging to the palace gate, it was his grandmother, aunt, and cousin who pried his hands apart one finger at a time...
But the Ji family grandparents and grandchildren in front of him were determined to save him. No matter whether they were facing men in black or bandits, they never thought of abandoning him who was seriously injured.
Ji Daochang's leg injury had not yet healed, so he used vines to pull him, and the grandfather and grandson dragged him out of the forest step by step with great difficulty.
They just escaped from the bandit's lair together. They were not even companions, but they could do this for him.
The fate between people is really strange.
Gu Changxiao, who was lost in his memories, was gently pushed by Grandpa Ling:
"Mr. Gu, what else do you think my grandson will be arrested by the officials?"
Gu Changxiao shook his head gently: "No, the young Taoist priest should have escaped and gone to Yandi."
"I can walk now. Don't delay. Let's set off for Yandi immediately!"
At the same time, Jinsui and his group were still on their way to Yanzhou City and were having dinner. Jinsui once again took out a large bag of energy bars from the space.
When she and Hei Hu came to the big stove, they saw a very funny scene: more than 300 soldiers, all standing straight, with their hands spread out and their lips tightly pursed.
The posture he stood in was exactly like a groundhog on the prairie watching for the wind, except for a loud "ah".
Or it’s like the kids in kindergarten lining up to eat fruit, as if getting energy bars is the most important thing in their lives.
Some of the quick-talkers were even biting bamboo sticks to prevent themselves from asking any more questions.
This Black Tiger relies on the prince's order and will not give you brown sugar no matter what you say as long as you ask him.
Some of them watched their companions eat twice with envy! Hei Hu was very disappointed that no one asked questions this time! There was almost not enough delicious brown sugar cake to share.
Jinsui couldn't bear to watch it, he felt both funny and distressed. These soldiers were not very old.
The oldest is only in his twenties, and the youngest is only fifteen or sixteen.
I was still a teenager and had never eaten anything delicious. Sugar was a luxury at the border.
As the saying goes, one should do his job when in a position. Now that I am the King of Li, I naturally have to take good care of my troops.
When I return this "account" to Gu Changxiao, I can't just leave him with a bunch of embarrassing black history without any benefits, right?
Jin Sui looked at the soldiers happily eating energy bars with an expression that said, "I'm so happy to be able to follow the King of Li."
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. When she was with Grandpa Ling and Jin'an, she couldn't let herself go for various reasons.
She was afraid that Grandpa Ling, the old Taoist priest, would discover that her granddaughter's soul had been replaced long ago, so she had been restraining herself from using the laboratory and had to find an excuse for anything she took out.
There are more than 300 soldiers in front of her who have to sleep in the open air with her. If she doesn’t let them have enough food, what kind of boss is she?
First, I asked Han Xing, "You said that when we were in Huaizhou, the governor of Huaizhou wanted to host a banquet for us."
Han Xing: ...Does that make me want to? Didn't you force me? "Of course, I won't make things difficult for the local officials. I just asked them to take some food and didn't ask them to hold a banquet.
Now that we have entered Yan territory, would it not be excessive for the officials, local tyrants, and noble families of the sixteen states to entertain me?"
"Since you are entertaining me, you should also entertain my personal guards. Since we don't have much food, how about we go to a local wealthy family to eat together?"
"We can eat wherever we go, all the way to Yanzhou. Is that feasible?" Jinsui asked seriously.
Han Xing broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. He thought he already knew something about King Li, but he didn't expect that his understanding was still not enough!
At this time, Black Tiger came over, chewing an energy bar and said:
"Why do you sound like a beggar to me? Why don't we go to a wedding or funeral?"
The short soldier whose clothes were snatched by Hei Hu poked his head out and said, "If ordinary people do this, it's begging and extortion. If the prince does this, it's called 'being filial'. The local officials should be filial to our prince."
Han Xing walked forward speechlessly, kicked each of them, and told them to get away.
If the prince really mistook the officials of Yan for those of Huaizhou and used them to blackmail us, we would be in trouble.
He hurriedly said to Jin Sui solemnly: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed! Not to mention that it concerns your reputation..."
He was afraid that Jin Sui would say, "This king no longer cares about reputation."
He quickened his pace and said, "The local tyrants in the sixteen states of Yan are extremely united. Your Majesty will have to guard the border for many years. If you offend the local tyrants as soon as you come to Yan, it will be very difficult for you to act in the future."
"Your Highness has been in Chang'an for a long time and does not know the situation in the border states. There are many noble families in Yan and their power is complicated. You have just arrived in Yan and you must not offend them for such a trivial matter as food."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. As long as we hurry up, there will be enough food. When we get to Yancheng and return to the Black Feather Camp, we will have everything we need."
Jin Sui touched his chin, expressing his doubt about his words "I lack nothing".
But it is indeed inappropriate to take a large group of people to other people's homes to extort money.
What if someone poisoned her? What if she was recognized? Jin Sui thought about it and finally placed her hope on the space. After entering the space again, she no longer searched for edible and useful things.
It's too slow to eliminate the problem by practicing medicine and using drugs.
Han Xing thinks the journey is too slow now. She can't just go to a state capital to treat patients and save lives to earn military funds, right?
If word gets out that the King of Li is an excellent doctor, she will be exposed even faster.
She doesn't want to sell food. She wants to save the potatoes and tomatoes for seeds. As for energy bars and glucose, there are not enough for herself.
We have to find an item that is not available in this era, that can attract people's attention and can be sold as a treasure.
She searched through all the drawers in the laboratory and actually saw something.
It was a makeup mirror left by someone unknown, one side was normal and the other side was a double-sided rotating makeup mirror that could magnify ten times.
More importantly, there is light around the makeup mirror, which lights up when you press the button. It is rechargeable and can be used for a month after being fully charged.
In an era without glass, such a mirror was a treasure, not to mention that it had a light! She had even thought of the "origin" of this mirror. It was a royal treasure, and it contained a night-shining pearl.
When Prince Li left the capital, he took nothing but this treasure, and he had no choice but to sell it.
Oh, by the way, you can’t just sell it casually, and you can’t put it in a pawn shop, you have to auction it! (End of this chapter)
