Yun Zhao was very worried after receiving the news, but he had just taken office and couldn't get away from it at the moment.
She could only ask Xiao Qingyin for help: "I'll leave Xiao Shu to you."
Xiao Qingyin nodded: "I will do my best."
She didn't have much luggage, and she finished packing in half an hour.
During this time, Yi Shuihan booked a boat and informed Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu was overjoyed when he found out.
Without Yi Shuihan, that formidable figure, pressing him down, he could finally enjoy a more relaxed life.
He was truly fed up with this life of getting up earlier than the rooster and going to bed later than the dog.
Since their marriage, he and Fangniang have spent less than twenty-four hours together, excluding sleeping.
Once Yi Shuihan leaves, he will take a vacation.
Then find an island and enjoy a carefree time with Fangniang.
However, when he brought local specialties from Southeast County to see Yi Shuihan and Xiao Qingyin off, he looked reluctant to part with them.
When Yi Wu saw this, he wanted nothing more than to kick him.
"Why are you looking so sad? It's not like we're not coming back."
Zhao Xu was horrified.
"You...you want to come back?"
Good heavens, does this mean he'll lose all his human rights from now on?
Yi Wu rolled his eyes at him: "Won't we still have to cross that underground river in Xiyue when we return to Nandan in the future?"
"Oh, I almost forgot, what a terrible memory I have."
Zhao Xu's heart finally settled down.
It's good that we don't linger in the Southeast County.
Yi Wu saw through his thoughts and said in a sinister tone, "You seem to be hoping we'll get out of here as soon as possible?"
"How is that possible!"
Zhao Xuyi spoke sternly and righteously.
“I would love for you to stay in Southeast County. I just had several houses in the Prince’s Palace vacated yesterday, and I would like to invite you to move there.”
Yi Wu grinned, revealing two gleaming white tiger teeth.
"Your Highness is so kind. Next time we pass through the Southeast Prefecture, we will definitely visit your residence."
Zhao Xu smiled slightly: "This king has prepared his bed to welcome you."
What he was really thinking was that he had to quickly get Chief Secretary Cui to arrange for someone to vacate the house, otherwise he would definitely be exposed.
In stark contrast to him, Qiu San Niang genuinely couldn't bear to see Xiao Qing Yin leave.
She saw Xiao Qingyin off at the dock.
"Take these seafoods back to Beijing and eat them. If you finish them, let me know and I'll send you some more."
As she spoke, she directed her subordinates to load boxes of dried goods such as scallops, abalone, sea cucumbers, and bird's nests onto the ship.
There was enough food for Xiao Qingyin to eat for a year.
"Thank you," Xiao Qingyin said gratefully. "Take good care of yourself. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me or Cousin Zhao."
She emphasized the last three words.
Qiu Sanniang understood and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't be polite to him."
From now on, she'll need Yun Zhao's protection when she does maritime trade.
Xiao Qingyin winked at Yun Zhao, who was not far away.
Cousin Zhao, this is all I can do to help you. Good luck!
A hint of a smile flashed across Yun Zhao's eyes.
He will continue to work hard even without her saying so.
From now on, all of Southeast Asia will be under his control. San Niang's caravan will be right under his nose. Even if he has to use a lot of patience, he will eventually wear down the thick calluses that have formed on her face.
At that moment, he was unaware that someone was not content with just making a fuss in Southeast Asia, but was heading west all the way to the Western Ocean.
Then they would travel back through the Beiyang and Dongyang regions.
Completed the first-ever circumnavigation of the globe.
He waited patiently in South Vietnam for two years, almost turning into a statue waiting for his husband.
...
After the ship set sail, Xiao Qingyin stood at the stern, watching the scenery gradually recede into the distance. She couldn't help but recall the last time she passed through Nan Yue, when she was controlled by Bai Musheng, and the Hongyun Gang and the Black Tiger Gang were fighting fiercely.
Several months have passed, and things have changed. Some people are no longer alive, and some have disappeared without a trace.
This must be what life is all about – a once-in-a-lifetime encounter.
When Yi Shuihan saw her lost in thought, he asked her what she was thinking about. She casually replied, "Thinking about the last time I passed by."
Yi Shuihan's face immediately darkened.
"I think you're reminiscing about someone because you're looking at this object."
Thinking of that bastard Bai Musheng.
Xiao Qingyin waved her hand in front of her nose: "Such a strong smell of vinegar! Who spilled the vinegar jar?"
Yi Shuihan: "..."
So what if he's jealous!
She and Bai Musheng spent a couple of months together on their journey south.
While they were being affectionate, he was enduring hardship and anxiety, fearing that if he was even a step too late, he would never see her again.
In my sorrow, I was suddenly caught off guard and someone cupped my face and kissed me.
Xiao Qingyin smiled and said, "This vinegar smells so good, I have to save it to dip my dumplings."
Yi Shuihan's eyes darkened.
He then demonstrated to the woman through his actions that flirting with him came at a price.
The King of Vinegar unleashes his fury, and the effects are far from over.
Xiao Qingyin felt as if she had drunk half a pot of wine, so drunk that she almost forgot how to breathe.
When she was powerless, a large bird fell from the sky and pecked her head hard.
Yi Shuihan was standing next to her and was also pecked.
His good deed was interrupted, and he was about to get angry when he was shocked to discover that the big bird that caused the trouble was actually an owl.
"So fierce! So fierce!"
Owl roared at Xiao Qingyin.
You human, you've gone too far! You ran away without a word, and I've been looking for you for dozens of suns.
Xiao Qingyin didn't bring it with her when she went to fight on the border of Nandan, and she was in a hurry to treat Yun Zhao so she didn't have time to contact it.
I think about it from time to time these days, guessing that it's probably having a great time in Nandan, maybe even found a partner.
When she returns to Nandan, she might see a nest of baby owls.
I never expected it to come looking for me.
She quickly stroked his hair.
"Master Owl, it's so good to see you! Have you been looking for me? Have you been in any danger?..."
She checked it over and found no injuries, but discovered that it had gained a few pounds.
"Owl, what have you been eating lately?"
"So fierce! So fierce!"
Of course, it's snakes! There are so many snakes here, plump and tender, no effort required at all.
Xiao Qingyin couldn't understand its words, but seeing that it was unusually active, she knew it always ate very well.
She reached into her sleeve pocket, intending to get some dried meat for it, but instead pulled out a little white bird.
Calling it a little white bird isn't quite accurate.
After being fed a magic bean every day, the little white bird swelled up rapidly and became as fat as the pigeon that Qiu San Niang used to communicate with her.
Xiao Qingyin was afraid it wouldn't be able to fly, and at one point considered cutting off the supply of magic beans.
But when it can't get the magic bean, it screams, its screams sounding like a demonic voice that makes one's mind go blank.
If this happens a few more times, my brain might be shaken so badly that I lose my memory.
Xiao Qingyin couldn't afford to offend her, so she could only continue feeding her.
When the eagle owl saw the little white bird, its already large and round eyes widened even more.
"How fierce! How fierce!"
So you have other birds now!
No wonder they abandoned me.
Humans are fickle and easily bored!
It was furious. It spread its wings and flew up, its claws reaching out to grab the little white bird, intending to catch it and eat it.
The little white bird's feathers puffed up, making it look just like an angry bird.
It neither flinched nor dodged, but let out a sharp cry at the eagle owl.
The eagle owl froze as if it had been hit on the head, and fell straight down from the sky.
