“We’re worried about you staying.” Ling Qi shook his head as he thought of the general’s stern face.
Qin Susu didn't like hearing these words.
"Don't worry, with me and Xiaoyan with you, what are you afraid of?"
Qiu Yan nodded, indicating her agreement. She felt that it was perfectly acceptable for them not to go together.
“Since I have accepted the money from Prefect Xie, I must fulfill my duties. Young Master Xie’s condition has not yet fully recovered, and there are still many things I need to explain to him. If I leave like this, it would be irresponsible of me.”
She wasn't a fragile little girl who needed the two of them to protect her all the time.
She's only taking a little longer.
Ling Qi and Ling Ba both lowered their heads at the same time.
Xiaoyan did this to save money for her journey.
She earned enough money for their travel expenses, but left herself behind in this Qin County city.
"Let's go, the prefect's thank-you banquet is about to begin." Qiu Yan stood up, not forgetting to take the moldy steamed bun with her.
Ling Ba pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "Xiao Yan, why don't you stay in Qin County with Qin Susu and wait for us to return?"
Xiao Yan's words make a lot of sense, and Ling Ba is well aware of Xiao Yan's persistence.
What Ling Ba said was exactly what Ling Qi wanted to say.
"Ling Ba is right, Xiao Yan, wait for us to come back."
Qin Susu...it seems she has been ignored.
Both of them had their attention focused entirely on Xiaoyan.
It's alright, Qin Susu has Xiaoyan by her side.
She chuckled and said, "Okay, you two go and come back quickly."
Perfect timing, she wanted to take a better look at the scenery of Qin County.
To be honest, she really didn't want to travel.
Qiu Yan shook her head. She suddenly felt that since Ling Qi and Ling Ba were going to the Western Regions, it didn't matter whether she went or not.
However, she still wanted to go to the Western Regions.
"We will meet in the Western Regions. At that time, a signal arrow will be used as a guide. If we do not meet there, you and your soldiers should reunite and depart first."
Gu Qian once said that the two thousand soldiers who sought nitrates went to the Kingdom of Lu in the Western Regions.
Ling Qi and his companion were aware of these things, so they had a clear objective in their search.
Besides the important matter of finding saltpeter, she also wanted to see the local products.
Once the world is at peace, she plans to expand her business throughout the Western Regions.
It's such a rare opportunity to travel through time, wouldn't it be a shame not to go?
...At the Xie residence, the kitchen had already prepared a banquet.
The table was laden with chicken, duck, fish, and meat; Prefect Xie had spared no effort, using only the finest ingredients.
"Miss Qiu, Miss Qin, and the two young heroes, please take a seat. Enjoy your meal and drinks tonight, and don't stand on ceremony with me," Prefect Xie warmly welcomed them.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Qiu Yan and the other three began their luncheon.
At the banquet, Prefect Xie drank a few extra cups because he was in a good mood.
Ling Qi and Ling Ba, thinking they had to continue their journey after the meal, did not drink much.
After drinking one small glass, Qiu Yan stopped drinking.
Only Qin Susu not only drank quite a bit, but also played a drinking game with Prefect Xie.
Her reaction left Qiu Yan and the other two speechless.
After the banquet, Qiu Yan exchanged six hundred taels of silver for sixty taels of gold, precisely for ease of carrying.
She exchanged the remaining three hundred taels of silver for loose silver.
Then, he divided thirty taels of gold and one hundred and fifty taels of silver into a bundle and gave it to Ling Qi and Ling Ba.
A day was almost over, and there were no abnormalities in Young Master Xie's wound.
To put it another way, Qiu Yan believed she could develop penicillin herself.
"Eat and drink well on your journey. With this money, you should be able to have enough to eat and wear during your trip."
