Outside the imperial city, a group of cavalrymen came galloping, stirring up a cloud of dust that lasted for a long time.
The man on horseback held high a token with the word "Xiao" on it and charged forward recklessly. Pedestrians dodged in all directions, and the soldiers guarding the city gates hurried to help him clear the way.
After a chaotic journey, the horse stopped at a magnificent mansion. The rider dismounted with a token in his hand. The guards at the gate did not dare to delay and quickly led him into the mansion.
The warhorse fell to the ground due to exhaustion, foaming at the mouth and dying.
"Your Excellency, Lord Xiao, General Yue has lived up to your expectations and has found King Cheng Hui... He is now on his way back to the capital. General Yue specially sent me to report the news." The soldier who came at full speed knelt on one knee and bowed to report.
The purple-robed man sitting before him beamed with joy upon hearing this, slamming the table and standing up. "Good! Well done! Come, take him down to rest, and give him a reward of fifty taels of silver!"
"Thank you, Lord Xiao, for your reward!"
The soldiers happily went down to receive their rewards. Xiao Hanshan waved his hand, and a beautiful woman walked out gracefully from behind the screen.
Xiao Hanshan raised his hand and gently caressed the beauty's face. He slowly buried his head in the crook of her neck, sniffing greedily: "Qingyan, go and greet His Royal Highness Prince Cheng Hui for me..."
Qingyan's body stiffened when she heard this, and her face gradually turned pale. There were some tears in the corners of her eyes. She raised her head to prevent the tears from flowing down.
She was the only daughter of the leader of the Immortal Alliance, and was considered a high-ranking and favored girl in the Zhangzhou world. She had a good aptitude for cultivation, was beautiful, and was surrounded by many talented young men who showed interest in her... But now she had become the plaything of the man in front of her.
Let her accompany whoever you want her to accompany...
Tired of playing, and offering her away...
Hehe~ She is Qingyan. As long as she is alive, she will not let these people go! Including... the woman who is pestering Xian Aotian...
Even if that woman turned to ash, she would recognize her. It was she who fell and killed the prince that day. Now that King Cheng Hui has found her, they should be together, right? After all, they disappeared together.
In that case, she would just go and greet them obediently and pitifully.
Not only does this world imprison the cultivator's Dantian, it also lacks any spiritual energy. No matter how high the woman's cultivation level is, it will be useless here!
Qingyan thought that she had at least a hundred ways to kill her.
When Qingyan thought of all the ways to kill her and all the ways to make her life worse than death, her mood improved. She wiped away her tears and replied softly, "Qingyan obeys your command..."
"Ahem~" Lai Siyu, who was lying sideways on the cushion of the luxurious carriage, sneezed again. This was the twelfth time she had sneezed since she set out.
I don't know who misses her so much.
King Cheng Hui sat in a corner of the carriage, staring at Lai Siyu with resentment in his eyes. He hadn't blinked for a long time, and the two wet marks on his cheeks from the white gauze showed that he was staring at her with great difficulty.
The red squirrel dozed on Lai Siyu's shoulder. Su Buqi sat on the footstool with a pile of cloth in his hand and read aloud, "Xu Sigou, 28 years old, from Xujiazhuang, Paomapo... sold himself into slavery. This is the contract of sale.
Luo Yougong, 31 years old, from Guantao County...
Master, I have finished reading. There are a total of 310 indentures here."
After Subuqi finished reading, he quickly stood up and handed the stack of cloth to Lai Siyu with both hands. The carriage was shaking, and he tried his best to stand firmly and keep his center of gravity, so he barely avoided falling.
Lai Siyu took the thick pile of cloth. Where should she put it? After thinking for a moment, she simply stuffed it into her arms...
"By the way, please read this IOU to me." Lai Siyu pulled out a piece of cloth from her sleeve and threw it to Su Buqi. "Read it while you sit down. The carriage is unstable and you might fall down."
Subuqi quickly took the cloth, thanked him and sat down, feeling touched that this master was really considerate of his servant.
Just as he was about to start reciting, he heard Lai Siyu mutter, "Falling out of the carriage is no big deal, but being crushed by me is bad..."
Subuqi was stunned. Damn, it turns out you don’t care about me!
Can you keep this subtext in your heart and not say it out loud?
The unlucky prince, whose head was wrapped like a dumpling, couldn't help laughing. Humph! Let you all compete to be slaves!
"Read it, why not? Is it because your prince's handwriting is ugly?" Lai Siyu reminded the dazed Subuqi, and threw a provocative look at the unlucky prince, "Look, I said your handwriting is ugly, even people in your country can't recognize it, and you still say that you are a master!"
As soon as Lai Siyu spoke, Su Buqi came back to his senses. He quickly cleared his throat and said, "I am Wu Mingliang, the King of Chenghui of the Wei Dynasty. I owe this woman one million spirit stones..."
"I asked you to write me an IOU, why did you write it to a certain woman? Humph, don't think you can fool me like this!" Lai Siyu picked up the red squirrel and threw it at the unlucky prince. The red squirrel was awakened from its sleep and kicked around with its four claws. Its long nails scratched the bandage on the unlucky prince's face, causing him to suffer new injuries before his old ones healed.
Subuqi is not feeling well again. What is going on?
He said cautiously, "Well, Master, the woman the prince was talking about might be... you. Have you told the prince your name?"
A woman?
Are you talking about me?
The unlucky prince burst into tears. Who do you think I was talking about?
Do you want the IOU? Don’t give it back to me, I won’t give it to you!
"Uh~ Mistake, mistake! Xiaohong, hurry up and apologize to the prince. Look how you scratched him, he's bleeding!" Lai Siyu frowned and pointed at the red squirrel and scolded.
Then, she instructed Su Buqi: "Take this to your prince. Consider that he has blood on his face now, so don't waste it. Change the woman on the IOU to Lai Siyu."
Hearing this, Su Buqi said with some embarrassment: "Master, the prince's face is too big, and this IOU is only this large. I'm afraid he won't be able to use it."
"Stupid! I mean use the blood on his face, not write on his face. You can just let him dip his finger in blood and then write." Lai Siyu held his forehead. It was really a hassle to use such a clumsy subordinate.
Subuqi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately flattered her, "Master, you are wise! Not only is your master as beautiful as a fairy, but you are also extremely wise. I am truly honored to have the privilege of following you. May the smoke of life rise from your ancestral graves..."
The unfortunate prince Wu Mingliang suddenly felt like crying. Who mistook "a certain woman" for someone else? And that rotten bastard Su Buqi, are you from the Wei Dynasty? How could our Wei Dynasty have someone like you... a scum... a scoundrel... a piece of trash...
It was really embarrassing to ride in a carriage with two people.
Yue Daikui was not a good person either. He came out to do such a big thing as looking for him and even put on a fuss by bringing out a luxurious carriage.
Do you think you are the emperor on tour?
As a result, he had to ride in the same car with two idiots, which completely lowered his status as a human being!
