Xiao Qingyin couldn't refuse him, so she had no choice but to accept.
"Okay, but we need to do more preparation."
"Um."
Xiao Qingyin handed over the medical team's affairs to Guan Hongdou.
Yi Shuihan then arranged for his deputy to bring the army and prisoners back to the holy city, conveyed the message to the officials of various departments, and made arrangements for the work in the coming month.
He also appointed the Marquis of Yong'an to temporarily assume his duties and coordinate the work of various departments.
Yan Yufei assisted from the side.
When Marquis Yong'an received the news, he was completely stunned.
Acting monarch?
How could that unfilial son leave everything to him and run off to South Vietnam?
This is absolutely outrageous!
What kind of ruler would be so capricious?
The textbooks haven't even been finished yet, and they're already exploiting him.
He cursed for a long time, and for some reason, he felt that this scene seemed familiar.
So he asked Princess Zhaoyang, "Didn't I substitute for this boy before?"
Princess Zhaoyang nodded: "Yes, when he went to Nandan to find Qingyin, he asked you to take over the position of regent."
Marquis Yong'an: "%￥#@!"
When that rebellious son comes back, he'll definitely give him a good beating!
As he was cursing, Yi Shuihan came down the mountain carrying his prey and sneezed several times.
Xiao Qingyin heard this and asked, "Have you caught a cold?"
"No," Yi Shuihan shook his head, "maybe the old man is scolding me."
Xiao Qingyin: "..."
If you treat people like bricks, moving them wherever they're needed, how can they not complain?
She smiled and said, "You know what? Family traits are passed down. You're always causing trouble for your father, so be careful that your son doesn't cause trouble for you in the future."
Yi Shuihan gave her a deep look: "As long as she's your child, I'll do whatever I want to harm her."
Xiao Qingyin: "..."
With such a boastful tone, aren't you afraid of biting your tongue in the wind?
In the future, he might end up like the Marquis of Yong'an, constantly cursing his rebellious son.
Yi Shuihan was overjoyed.
The fact that she didn't refute him means she implicitly agreed that they would have a child, doesn't it? This suggests that subconsciously she felt she would stay.
Nothing could have made him happier.
Xiao Qingyin looked at the corner of his lips that he unconsciously curled up, and wondered to herself: Is this guy a masochist? He seems to be looking forward to being tricked.
Too lazy to think about it, she continued her work, carrying the freshly picked mushrooms and herbs onto the bamboo raft.
Yi Shuihan left a group of people here to guard the entrance to the underground river, in order to prevent the Prince of Dai from sending people to investigate and discover the truth.
According to Zhao Xu's confession, there were guards at the exit of the underground river, and in order to pass through smoothly, they planned to disguise themselves as Zhao Xu's confidants.
While Xiao Qingyin was applying makeup to Yi Shuihan and the others, Zhao Xu was watching from the side.
The more I looked, the more horrified I became.
What kind of evil magic is this?!
It's amazing that it can turn one person into another.
Even he, who spends every day with someone, can't tell who's real and who's fake.
No wonder they dare to venture into dangerous places.
I reckon if it weren't so easy for them to spot him, they wouldn't have spared his life at all.
Xiao Qingyin had no idea what he was thinking. The makeup liquid she used on Yi Shuihan and the others contained a color-fixing agent, so it wouldn't dissolve in water and could only be removed with a specific agent.
She also changed her appearance to make it more plain.
After they finished their makeup, they launched the bamboo raft and entered the underground river through a cave in the mountainside.
It is very spacious inside, about two meters wide and three or four meters high, enough to accommodate two bamboo rafts traveling side by side.
The air was very cool, with a temperature difference of at least ten degrees between the inside and outside.
Xiao Qingyin felt like she was in an air-conditioned room.
The further you go in, the dimmer the light becomes, and soon you can't see anything at all.
Xiao Qingyin took out a bag of luminous pearls and gave one to each of the bamboo rafts.
Zhao Xu's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
His father didn't even have such a large luminous pearl!
They have so many!
And it was used so casually.
As rumored, Nandan is indeed full of treasures.
If he wins this battle...
Zhao Xu sighed with regret.
You've got it wrong.
Xiao Qingyin: What are these few luminous pearls? There are plenty in the warehouse. We took dozens from the Holy Lord's room.
Bored, Yi Wu and the others started fishing.
The fish here haven't seen a fisherman for generations; they're all so clueless, you can catch them every time.
They're all incredibly ugly.
Perhaps because there is no light here and we can't see what it looks like, it just grows randomly.
Yi Wu and his group kept the ones that looked like "fish" and threw away the oddly shaped ones.
As they threw it, a dense rustling sound came from the darkness.
Zhao Xu was so shocked that he shrank into a ball.
“When we arrived, we only heard the cries of giant salamanders, not these strange noises. You must have provoked a monster.”
Yi Wu, who was sitting on the front raft, stood up and used a luminous pearl to illuminate the top of the rock, revealing a large number of white creatures to everyone.
They were a group of palm-sized, white, long-legged crabs.
Zhao Xu: "..."
To save face, he cautioned, "These crabs are such strange colors, they might be poisonous..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yi Wu interrupted him.
"Dr. Xiao, are these crabs safe to eat?"
"These are blind crabs. You can tell from the serrated edges of their claws that they feed on snails and can eat them."
Xiao Qingyin replied.
Yi Wu immediately grabbed the bag and flew up, transferring the spider-like blind crabs into the bag.
After finishing packing, he said with a smile, "Luckily, I had the foresight to bring in a few pieces of pork fat, so we can continue frying crabs."
Zhao Xu: "..."
Eating everything will only harm you!
Having found the blind crab, Yi Wu was still not satisfied. He stared at the rocky cliff by the water, searching for the snail that Xiao Qingyin had mentioned.
