Wang Nianqing nodded and said, "You're right. We did take out the jewels from the crystal cave, but we're running low on medicinal herbs, so we can't wash away all the toxins right now."
Medicinal herbs are just a small matter. Most of the herbs in Qingliang Valley are currently stored in the military barracks warehouse. If there is a shortage, it shouldn't take long to find the black market to prepare them. It's just a matter of spending a little more money. "Don't worry about the herbs. I'll have Shaoqing contact the black market later."
Wang Nianqing said, "Speaking of the black market, there's something I'm curious about."
"Oh, tell me about it."
Wang Nianqing analyzed it based on her own understanding: "The black market never does business at a loss. I roughly calculated a few days ago that the materials we obtained from the black market and the previous batch of jewelry were not enough. They didn't even come to us for money. Isn't it a bit strange? Could it really be because of our relationship with Hua Wuxin?"
Wang Yanzhou had been curious about this matter before, but fortunately, Qiu Liang was there. According to what Qiu Liang had said before, the black market owner who was in charge of the Qingliang Valley business seemed to have only had contact with Tang Chen because of Hua Wuxin's arrangement. As for what they talked about when they met, Qiu Liang really didn't know. But after thinking about it, it was probably about the Qingliang Valley: "Well, if you are really curious, why not ask Achen."
After hearing this answer, Wang Nianqing was so excited that her mask fell off: "...Where did she get so much money?"
Wang Yanzhou smiled and said, "Don't be fooled by her sometimes extravagant spending. She's very shrewd. It was okay before, but now even I don't know how much private money she has."
Wang Nianqing said thoughtfully, "But most of the property belongs to you two. After the war, you can slowly return it to them."
Wang Yanzhou retorted seriously, "I've invested my entire life in it, so she's embarrassed to ask me for money!"
"That's not certain."
"Okay, let's stop talking about these trivial things. Just do what you need to do. I'm still busy here," Wang Yanzhou said. If there is nothing important to do here, Wang Nianqing should stop being lazy and just do what she needs to do.
After Wang Nianqing put on the mask, he said, "Okay, okay, since the prince has ordered us to leave, I will not disturb the prince from doing his business. I will take my leave."
After Wang Nianqing left, Wang Yanzhou rushed to the door and locked it with a snap: "Puff!"
If Wang Yanzhou hadn't been quick-witted, his vomiting blood would have been seen by others. However, he used to only vomit blood occasionally at night, but now the intervals were shorter and it was happening during the day as well. Fortunately, he didn't vomit much this time, otherwise, with so many people with noses around him, he wouldn't have been able to hide this for long.
Although Wang Yanzhou had been cured of the miasma from Zhiyoulin, Wang Ruo had warned him at the time that there would be aftereffects. He hadn't expected them to strike so quickly, and he didn't know how much time he had left. He still had so much to do, and even if he died, he wanted to leave behind fewer regrets.
Back in Qinghe County, Xiahou Qing went to Baiyun Lane alone to look for Yunhe. He had just walked into the alley when, before he could even begin searching, a figure rushed straight towards him in the darkness. Every move was aimed at a fatal spot.
Xiahou Qing, judging by the figure of the person, thought it was a child, and thought it was just a joke between Yunhe and him, so he didn't pay much attention to it. After the child tore off his nightgown piece by piece, causing pain in his flesh, Xiahou Qing realized that he had underestimated the enemy. The newcomer had quite a bit of martial arts skills: "......!"
Yun He, who was brewing tea on campus while listening to the noise outside, saw that the time was almost up and he had given enough of a show of force before he said, "Tong Shu, don't be rude."
After hearing Yun He's voice, the child's hand suddenly stopped just a hair's breadth away from Xia Hou Qing's eyes. Xia Hou Qing then followed the child and found Yun He in the courtyard.
Looking at the child who had been full of murderous intent just now, now squatting beside Yun He and eating snacks harmlessly, he couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that a child around Mr. Yun would have such special skills."
"He's just simpler than others, so he learns everything quickly." After saying this, Yunhe turned to the little girl holding a tray and ordered, "Xinghua, take Tongshu back to the house. You don't need to serve us here anymore."
"Yes, Master."
After Linghua and Tongshu returned to their respective rooms hand in hand, Yunhe gestured for Xiahou Qing to take a seat and said, "Excuse me, Pavilion Master. You came here so late at night. I guess you've thought it through, right?"
Xiahou Qing drank a cup of hot tea to warm himself up, and after calming his pounding heart, he said, "I have considered it, but I wonder if I will have the chance to meet the person Mr. Yun wanted to recommend to Tianshu Tower."
Yun He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Oh? Didn't the Pavilion Master say he didn't want to waste money?"
After observing the surroundings, Xiahou Qing explained, "The black market can't immediately get the person I need. During this time, I'd like someone to help me out."
"If Pavilion Master doesn't mind, I can lend my pocket money to Tianshu Tower for a few days." Yun He hadn't finished speaking when Pocket Flower, who had already returned to her room, heard someone calling her. She ran out again and asked, "Master, you called me?"
Yun He couldn't help but burst out laughing, then said, "...It's nothing. If you hear it again later, just pretend you didn't hear it. Go to sleep."
"oh."
Xiahou Qing watched Linghua skipping back to her room, and was reminded of Xiahou Chun when she was little. She was also lively and active, and would often argue with him. Now, she was timid and not as lively as she was when she was little. "This little girl is quite interesting."
Yun He accepted this comment as Xia Hou Qing's praise for Ling Hua: "Don't look at her as a dull girl, she is still a person of some importance in the martial arts world."
The smile on Xiahou Qing's face gradually froze. In his mind, which was already brimming with information, he suddenly found a sentence that somewhat matched the girl in front of him: "...I've heard people say that there's an insect master in the martial arts world who is not only proficient in sorcery but also famous for his super hearing. Could it be this girl?"
Yun He said nothing, but picked up the teacup and said, "Master, you are too kind." Actually, Tianshu Tower was just like that.
