When he returned home, he opened the gift Chaoge had sent him: an egg-sized sea pearl, a bottle of white wine in a white porcelain bottle, and a box of health pills.
If we include the bottle of overseas wine that was smashed, everything Chaoge sent is rare and precious.
Thinking about how Chaoge asked the Queen Mother for medical fees, and then looking at the generous gift Chaoge gave him, Xiao Zhehan couldn't help but smile.
He couldn't see the value of other things, but that sea pearl was still quite valuable.
She didn't expect that the woman who seemed to love money so much would be so generous for just doing her a small favor.
She also paid in advance for today's meal at Yuefeng Restaurant.
Such a person is open and honest and will not take advantage of anyone.
But why would she not give in at all to someone as powerful as the Queen Mother?
In Xiling Kingdom, Jun Yumo lived on the outskirts of Kaihua City, the imperial capital of Xiling Kingdom. His subordinates had been out for a few days. If they couldn't find anyone, September 9th would be approaching soon, and those more than 30,000 children would all die.
"Master, they are back!"
An San looked at the figures sitting in the yard, and immediately walked into the study with surprise to report to Jun Yumo.
Jun Yumo, who was sitting in front of the desk and exuding a cold aura, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and revealed a hint of joy when he heard the words.
"This subordinate greets the master!"
Mo Qi led the rest of the people into the study and bowed to Jun Yumo, who was sitting at the top of the table.
"how?"
"We have found the exact location. On September 9th, an altar will be opened to the east of the Xiling Kingdom's imperial mausoleum."
“East?
Have you surveyed that location?"
Jun Yumo's handsome brows slightly frowned.
"My Lord, our subordinates have already secretly gone in to investigate.
There is an altar on the east side, which is used exclusively for the Xiling royal family to worship their ancestors.
I don't understand. With such a big scene, isn't that person afraid of attracting other people's attention?"
Hearing Mo Qi's words, Jun Yumo lowered his eyes slightly, remained silent, and seemed to be thinking.
In the study, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Just when Mo Qi was about to speak again, Jun Yumo raised his eyes again and looked at Mo Qi.
"Where is the Mohist Army now?"
“There’s still one day left before we can all arrive.
But I don’t understand why the master doesn’t report this matter directly to Emperor Xiling?
If the Mohist army were to be mobilized to enter Xiling State without authorization, the relationship between the two countries would be in danger of breaking down."
“I have considered this issue, but I cannot alert the enemy for the time being.
And I’m afraid that the news we received was deliberately released by someone in order to create a rift between Canglan Dynasty and Xiling so that they can reap the benefits.”
“But Master, up to now, the whereabouts of those children have not been found.
We are afraid that more than 30,000 children will all die before we take action.
But why would more than 30,000 children be hidden so secretly?
If there are suddenly more than 30,000 people in a city and they need to eat and drink every day, that would be quite a big deal.”
"If someone wants to hide something, how can you find his flaws?
We still have ten days left. Before the Mohist army reaches Kaihua City, you should split up into several groups and don’t give up the search.”
"yes!"
"Master, it's late at night. I cooked you a bowl of noodles."
Without waiting for Mo Qi to leave, the third brother came in with a tray.
On the tray, there was a bowl of thin silver noodles, a few slices of green vegetables, a poached egg, and two wild mushrooms.
Looking at the food on the tray, Jun Yumo's handsome brows frowned slightly.
"As my king's guard, why do you need to do these things?"
There was a rare hint of gentleness in the third brother's cold features.
"I saw that my master had to work until very late these days and the cook had gone to bed, so I didn't bother her.
Master, eat it while it's hot."
Looking at the silver noodles in front of him, Jun Yumo nodded: "Mo Qi and his companions just came back from a mission, I think they are hungry.
I didn’t know you had the skill to make noodles?
Now, go cook a bowl of noodles for each of them. Everyone is busy, so they won’t go hungry.”
The third one!
"yes."
The third brother reluctantly accepted the order and retreated.
"You all leave, Mo Qi stays."
"yes!"
After everyone left, Jun Yumo looked at Mo Qi with an unpleasant expression and raised his chin: "Eat it."
Moqi!
"how?
Don’t you want me to eat it?”
“No, no, no!
I will eat it right away!"
Mo Qi was terrified, but in fact he was already hungry.
He picked up the bowl of silver thread noodles and ate it in a few mouthfuls.
"Hey, you know what, these noodles are very chewy and delicious, and they are actually made from chicken soup.
I didn’t know that the third brother actually had this skill.
I remember that she seemed to have never cooked before, but I didn’t expect her skill in making noodles was so good?
And the noodles are too thin. If she hadn't said it, I would have thought that the cook in this courtyard had improved her skills."
"Yes, last night it was abalone noodles, the night before that it was sea cucumber noodles, and the night before that it was beef noodles. When did this third brother have so many different dishes?"
Jun Yumo looked out the window with deep eyes, and Chaoge's grief-stricken face when he left appeared in his mind.
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in my heart.
He put his hand on his chest, took a deep breath, picked up the document beside him and started reading.
Chaoge looked at the doorman of Hu Cao's family, the Minister of Works, and hesitated for a moment. He originally planned to go in stealthily at night when no one was around and take the person away.
That way, it won't cause much commotion. Then I can change Leng Furong's name and let her live a normal life.
But standing at the door, she activated her wood-related skills and searched the entire residence of the Minister of Works, but there was no sign of Leng Furong.
The residence of the Minister of Works was actually not very big. She walked around the courtyard wall and found that the radiation range of 400 meters in a straight line was more than enough.
But after looking around, there was no sign of Leng Furong, so she had no choice but to knock on the door of Cao's mansion.
The servant who opened the door looked at Chaoge standing outside and sized him up and down. Although he saw that Chaoge was not dressed gorgeously, he did not show any disdain at all because of his outstanding temperament.
"Miss, what do you want?"
"Excuse me, is Lord Cao at home?"
"oh?
Lord Cao is not at home. He is still in the Ministry of Works and has not returned yet. I wonder what important matter the young lady wants to see our master about?
If possible, please leave your name, and I will tell my parents when they return home."
"No need, I'll come over when Lord Cao is home.
Thank you very much, brother. Goodbye."
Watching Chaoge's back as he left, a woman in her thirties walked out of the sedan chair in front of the gate of Cao's mansion.
"Who is that?"
