The convoy from the border town to the capital was moving at an extremely fast speed, and under Chen Kai's secret urging, it could be said that they were traveling day and night.
They should have rested in the towns along the way, but apart from replenishing some necessities, they made almost no stops, and the journey was greatly shortened, and the group was already approaching the capital.
Chen Kai was also extremely nervous.
This matter concerns his own future and he must not be careless. He would have to sit in Linglong's carriage every now and then to inquire about it.
By the way, relieve some anxiety, after all, she is the only woman in the convoy.
Linglong was now sitting opposite him, leaning against the window and looking at the scenery outside with curiosity, and asked excitedly: "Master Chen, we can arrive today, right?"
Chen Kai nodded tiredly and said helplessly: "Miss Linglong, you have asked three times. It won't be long before we can reach the capital."
"Once we enter the city, I will take you to the Banshan Newspaper Office first. After that, I will find someone to arrange some places for you if you want to go."
"You are unfamiliar with the place, so don't get lost."
As long as we enter the capital, we’ll be done!
Chen Kai also felt a little relieved and opened the curtains, secretly excited.
The convoy traveled for another hour, and a huge and magnificent city appeared in Linglong's eyes.
Chen Kai got out of the car and personally led the team into the city.
Then, without saying a word, he took a few soldiers and drove a exquisite horse-drawn carriage straight to the newspaper office halfway up the mountain.
The Mid-Levels newspaper office was bustling with activity at this time.
In the open office area, piles of manuscripts can be seen everywhere. Several reporters are walking around with anxious looks on their faces, actively communicating.
Xie Xian sat in his own office, reviewing manuscripts, with an assistant beside him.
The assistant was busy dealing with documents. Suddenly he looked up and said with a smile, "Editor-in-chief, here is a suggestion from one of our reporters. He said that in order to increase the sales of the newspaper, we should open a separate section to serialize novels. I think this method is feasible, and he has submitted a manuscript."
"Oh? This is an interesting idea. What is it about?" Xie Xian looked up and smiled.
"It's a social novel, and it's quite interesting. It tells the story of a down-and-out scholar who got guidance from an immortal in his dream and foresaw the future. He made a fortune by buying twenty first-prize tickets, and finally used the wealth to become a marquis and a prime minister."
"Haha, this can only be a strange story." Xie Xian laughed dumbly, "Why publish it in the newspaper? I don't think it's very useful."
Not to mention the guidance of an immortal in a dream, even if an immortal bought the ticket for the top prize himself, he would not be able to buy the first prize if he was reincarnated with his memories!
This story is quite mysterious...
The assistant shook his head and said, "No, I think it makes sense! If you insert ads in the middle of the article, the readers will be very interested in reading it. They will have to watch the ads whether they want to or not. In this way, won't the advertising revenue of the newspaper increase?"
"In addition, we should publish an ad-free version of the newspaper and sell it at a high price, so that everyone can buy what they need."
"Hiss... Your idea is quite interesting. I'll think about it."
"Editor-in-chief, someone is looking for you." Just then, a reporter pushed open Xie Xian's door, and then Chen Kai pulled Linglong in.
The reporter tried to stop him: "Hey, wait a minute, you can't come in yet."
Before Xie Xian could react, Chen Kai got straight to the point and said, "I'm Chen Kai, the inspector of the border town that trades with the Kingdom of Jin. Are you Xie Xian?"
Xie Xian stood up blankly and saluted: "Master Chen? What are you doing..."
"Please close the door. I have something important to discuss with you."
While Chen Kai was speaking, there was a commotion outside the door, and the voices of many reporters loudly rebuking him could be heard.
Xie Xian turned his head and saw that more than a dozen strangers had broken into the newspaper office and were standing at the door with a fierce look on their faces.
After taking another careful look at Chen Kai and seeing that he had no ill intentions, Xie Xian nodded carefully and quietly opened the drawer under the table.
Then he loudly instructed others to leave the room.
After the assistant left, only Xie Xian, Chen Kai and Linglong were left in the room.
Linglong was a little overwhelmed by this formation and looked at Chen Kai nervously.
"Mr. Chen, I have not verified your identity yet. You said you were an inspector of the border town, but why did you appear in the capital?" Xie Xian said as he reached into the drawer, where a sharp dagger lay.
The newspaper office is a place that often reports folk news, so it is inevitable that there will always be crazy people who show up to cause trouble or demand justice.
He always has this self-defense item with him.
If the guy who brought people in later shows any ill intentions, I will stab him first, and then take him hostage to the Jinyiwei on the street...
Chen Kai didn't know how to explain for a moment, so he took a step back and let Linglong out. "This girl's name is Zhao Linglong, and she came from the Kingdom of Jin. Lord Fang Zheng asked her to come to Dajing to take a look, and bring you some gifts."
"It's not Lord Fang, it's Lord Fang's friend Chu Qinghan." Linglong added in a low voice.
"Miss Linglong, give him your things first, and then I'll arrange a place for you to live. After all, you are a foreigner, so it's better for me to help you find a place."
Linglong nodded and handed the package to Xie Xian.
How come it's related to the master?
Xie Xian was still full of confusion. He looked at her warily, took the package with one hand, and glanced at it briefly.
Seeing this, Chen Kai said, "The handkerchief, the one Miss Chu gave you hasn't been given to you yet."
"Oh, yes." Linglong handed over the handkerchief again.
When Xie Xian got the handkerchief and saw the intricate patterns on it, his pupils shrank immediately!
That's right! This must be the message from the master. This is... Pinyin. No one except the people in Taoyuan County understands this.
And with so many letters hidden in the pattern, it must be important news!
