Xiao Qing nodded, showing no surprise whatsoever, as if she felt it was only natural.
"Let's grab our things and leave quickly, things are probably about to get dangerous here."
Xiao Qing said to me while carrying a box of gold and silver jewelry.
"Uh-huh"
I'm not one to drag things out, so I also carried a box of jewelry into the newly-made gold house. Unfortunately, I wasn't strong enough to move it, so I had to push it in while wiping the floor.
In no time, they had moved enough. It was a pity that they had so much gold and silver jewelry; they really wanted to take it all. But one shouldn't be too greedy, right? They agreed on a certain amount, and that's what they got.
I reluctantly said goodbye to the remaining gold and silver jewelry, and Xiao Qing spoke up again.
"Quickly put away the Qiankun House, let's go, don't keep the master and young master waiting."
Uh-huh
I reluctantly put away the Golden House and left the warehouse with Xiao Qing, only to realize that I seemed to have forgotten something. Where did the guard who led us to the warehouse go?
"Who is it?" I asked Xiaoqing.
"Did I knock you out?" Xiao Qing replied calmly.
???
"This problem is not good."
…………
"Alright, now where are we going? Lead the way."
Now that I've got this treasure, I don't want to get into a fight with Xiao Qing over something trivial. After all, Xiao Qing's martial arts skills are too high now, and I don't dare to act recklessly.
Before dark, we arrived at the new place where Dad and Luo Qingyun had found to rest. Along the way, we encountered many people carrying large and small bags heading towards the city gate, but we didn't know what had happened.
"You're back. Did that Prince Lingguang give you any trouble?"
My dad looked rather serious. As soon as I walked in, he started asking me all sorts of questions, as if he was quite worried about me.
For some reason, I feel like the atmosphere tonight is a bit strange.
I asked, "What's wrong? Why are you all so listless? Didn't I tell you to follow the path? How did you end up here?"
No one answered.
I glanced at my dad, and he awkwardly looked away.
I glanced at Luo Qingyun again, but he ignored me, holding a precious sword in his hand and wiping it constantly, as if he wanted to break it. His expression was somewhat grief-stricken.
It's strange. I glanced at Xiao Qing, but she ignored me and instead asked Luo Qingyun, "Where did the fight go?"
"We've already arrived in Xuancheng. The garrison commander there, Chen Yi, has already betrayed us and surrendered. He'll be arriving in the capital soon," Luo Qingyun replied.
I couldn't help but roar:
"I'll go find Ji Ruchen right now, if you don't tell me what happened. Anyway, I promised Prince Lingguang I would go see him."
"Nonsense"
The three of them, Dad, Luo Qingyun, and Xiao Qing, said almost in unison.
Before the father could speak, Luo Qingyun spoke first:
“An Guo broke the agreement and colluded with Prime Minister Gu Zian from within to seize the throne of Yi Guo. They have already reached Xuancheng and will arrive in the capital soon.”
What's going on? Everything was fine a few days ago, and I didn't hear anyone say anything had happened this morning.
In the blink of an eye, how did the world change so much?
"You guys aren't kidding, are you? Don't scare me, I'm easily scared." In my heart, I refused to believe it.
"Today I went to the Lingguang Prince's Mansion and discovered that Madam Qiu was plotting against the country with a foreign man. I recognized the man; he was the commander of the guards who came with Princess Anguo as part of her dowry. His name is Wenhe. Moreover, Madam Qiu calls herself 'this palace,' but her true identity is Lady Sese, the favorite concubine of the King of Anguo."
She had been infiltrating the capital for over a decade. She told me that the King of Anguo had promised her that she would become the King of Anguo in the future, and that the Prime Minister, Gu Zi'an, was also from Anguo.
