“You stand in the moonlight holding the bracelet, and I draw its shadow. Be careful, this is the princess's bracelet. If you lose it, even killing you wouldn't be enough to compensate for it.”
"..." Bai Shalu stared speechlessly at the bracelet. "Isn't this the one we took off the Corpse General?"
How could it be more important than his life!
But when they saw the shadow cast by the bracelet in the moonlight, they stared in surprise, "That shadow!"
Does it look like a map?
"Um."
"Hold it up carefully, I'll draw it." Liu Xiaohuan carefully took the paper and pen and drew the shadow of the bracelet.
When Qiao Dongzi returned from patrolling the other ships, he noticed this strange pair and came over to take a look.
Upon closer inspection, the shadow also seemed suspicious.
Picking up the two drawings Liu Xiaohuan had made, he remarked, "They look a bit like maps."
Bai Shalu said, "Come here and hold it up for a while."
Qiao Dongzi took the Seven Treasures Dragon and Phoenix Bracelet and glanced at the cleaned gemstones on it. "I must say, the gemstones on this are quite nice."
“That’s what the empresses of past dynasties wore.” Baishalu picked up the map and examined it carefully.
"These two pictures are different, but they also have similarities."
After Liu Xiaohuan finished the last stroke, she compared the newly painted picture with the two in Bai Shalu's hands.
Qiao Dongzi also wanted to come closer to take a look.
But he was glared at fiercely by Bai Shalu!
Qiao Dongzi belatedly realized... well, he'd been a candle for half the day!
She wiped her nose a little awkwardly. "Well, I have something to do, so I'll be going now. You guys keep going."
"Alright. Take care, General Qiao," Liu Xiaohuan replied in a serious tone.
Bai Shalu gave him a look that said, "Get lost."
Qiao Dongzi is gone.
They met Zhong Jiu on the road, so they pulled him aside and chatted about the Seven Treasures Dragon and Phoenix Bracelet.
"Those seven-jeweled dragon and phoenix bracelets are a pair, right?" Qiao Dongzi asked.
Zhong Jiu replied, "Yes, the other bracelet, I heard, is in the Hezhuo tribe."
"How did you know?" Qiao Dongzi asked in surprise.
Zhong Jiu replied, "Don't you even know what I do for a living? But is there anything strange about this bracelet?"
"It looks like a map's shadow can be cast under the moonlight. Xiao Huan is quite attentive, and Lao Bai is also enjoying himself with the little beauty."
"...Let's not get involved in Lao Bai's pursuit of his young wife."
"That's true."
...
As they got closer to Chongyang Mountain, the number of corpses actually decreased.
Fuzhou is the prefecture closest to Chongyang Mountain. The corpses within its borders have already been cleared away by the prefectural government's officials.
There is absolutely no need for the Chongyang Army to help anymore.
Mu Run was finally able to disembark and walk around on solid ground, and also buy some things for Huanhuan and Tuantuan.
The two dark circles under Liu Xiaohuan's eyes were caused by the Seven Treasures Dragon and Phoenix Bracelet.
"Although you are still young, you should rest when you need to. Look at your complexion, I would think you are a corpse."
"It can't be that bad."
"If you don't take a break, I'll take the bracelet back."
Liu Xiaohuan knew that Mu Run was concerned about her, and a clear look of shame appeared on her face. "Yes, this servant understands, and will definitely take care to rest."
"Hmm." Mu Run looked at the general store not far away. "Let's go take a look there."
"Okay." Liu Xiaohuan helped Mu Run over.
The grocery stall had many toys for children, as well as some needles and thread.
Bai Shalu and Zhong Jiu followed behind the two of them, protecting them from a distance.
Seeing them stop in front of the grocery stall, they also stopped for a moment.
There was a teahouse right in front of us.
There was a storyteller inside, who began to tell stories.
