At this moment, in this situation, words fail to describe it.
Despite refusing their offer, they still brought over a considerable amount of dry rations.
"That's enough, really enough, thank you."
Zhou Wan thanked her.
The people lost a lot of food in their carriages.
The carriage bumped and jolted away into the distance before Xu Yuehuai looked towards the horizon and said, "Let's go, let's set off."
Liu Cuiming and Jiang Mingfu's family were all frowning with worry. They had gone through countless hardships and narrowly escaped death to finally obtain a lot of gold and silver treasures. They thought that their chance to turn their fate around had come, but little did they know that fate would play such a big joke on them.
Good heavens, Xu Yuehuai brazenly donated all his money.
Inside the carriage, Aqi looked at Xu Yuehuai and asked, "Where's Brother Qi? Has he retired successfully?"
"He probably doesn't want people to know his identity, nor does he want to receive the Emperor's reward," Xu Yuehuai said, making it pretty much the truth.
Ah Qi nodded. "Is he really from the Censorate?"
"He seems to be the highest-ranking official, but who knows?" Judging from Qi Guze's demeanor and various micro-expressions, he does indeed seem to be a member of the Censorate.
But Ah Qi doesn't think so.
"It seems that his official rank is even higher."
"What's above that?" Xu Yuehuai scratched his head. "Below the Censor-in-Chief should be the Grand Secretary, and above that is the Prime Minister, right? But we've never heard of such a young Prime Minister in our country."
“So,” Ah Qi was even more curious. Considering the strange questions Qi Gu Ze had asked her before, Ah Qi was even more confused. “I feel even more suspicious.”
Seeing Ah Qi's bewildered expression, Xu Yuehuai simply smiled and let it go.
"When we go to the capital in the future, we will see everything clearly."
Yes, that's right.
The carriage sped along, and after entering Tonggu County, it was getting dark.
In the distant inn, the lights were bright. Zhou Wan looked into the distance and said, "Mother, we can't leave. We have to stay here tonight."
"Let's stay here," Xu Yuehuai said, looking at the river faintly visible in the moonlight. She then noticed a huge drumstick hanging beside the boundary marker and smiled. "Is this a place that makes bronze drums?"
"It seems so."
Zhou Wan got off the car.
The group headed towards the inn.
Xu Yuehuai was surprised as soon as she reached the door.
It turned out that Qi Guze was in this inn. To be precise, Qi Guze had arrived here before them, and before he came here, Qi Guze and Tie Xiong had already been observing them.
"I previously thought that she would become arrogant and even disrupt her plans after receiving the money. Now it seems that I was short-sighted."
In fact, Qi Guze rarely misjudges people.
This time is no different.
"Let's go ahead and wait for them."
This puzzled Tie Xiong. It turned out that the prince was the repressed type. He should have just shown himself now, but instead he insisted on going to the inn in front, which led to the following scene.
"Oh my!" Xu Yuehuai was pleasantly surprised to run into Qi Guze. "Brother Qi, you're here too!"
"What a coincidence," Qi Guze said with a smile, looking at Xu Yuehuai. "Long time no see, and you even went to the capital? What? I didn't see you rolling in money. Did His Majesty reward you?"
"Rich, hahaha."
Xu Yuehuai did not tell Qi Guzhe about her donation, but only mentioned it briefly.
Instead, he asked, "Where is Your Excellency? Aren't you going to the capital?"
"His Majesty has assigned me to do some complicated matters, so I cannot wander around aimlessly."
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Qi Guze invited Xu Yuehuai to go out to see shooting stars. The two didn't see any shooting stars, and when they returned, Xu Yuehuai was exhausted and fell into a daze. Qi Guze had to carry her back.
She really liked this feeling.
Strangely enough, Qi Guze also liked this way of getting along. Seeing Xu Yuehuai asleep, her long, curly eyelashes trembled, creating a breathtaking beauty. Unconsciously, Qi Guze moved closer to her.
He didn't know if it was an instinctive attraction or the girl's stunning beauty that made him unable to resist.
Just as the kiss was about to land, Xu Yuehuai swung her fist.
Fortunately, Qi Guze was highly skilled in martial arts, otherwise he would be sporting panda eyes right now.
"Oh, it's you, Brother Qi?" Xu Yuehua mumbled sleepily, "I had a dream that a pervert assaulted me."
"Feel sorry."
They escorted Xu Yuehuai back.
The next morning, Xu Yuehuai went next door to knock on the door, but a complete stranger came out. Xu Yuehuai felt jealous and asked, "Where's Brother Qi?"
“What Brother Qi or Brother Zhang?” the man said, about to close the door. “I stayed here last night.”
"But Brother Qi..."
Xu Yuehuai wanted to ask more questions, but the man impatiently closed the door.
At that moment, the waiter rushed downstairs and delivered a letter to Xu Yuehuai. The letter was addressed to "To Yuehuai" and inside was written in tiny, handwritten characters.
Xu Yuehuai never imagined that a man like Qi Guze could write such standard and orderly regular script, which made her want to learn to write as well.
The letter was short and to the point: "I am busy with official duties and cannot stay any longer, so I will take my leave now."
That's it?
Xu Yuehuai clutched the letter, lost in thought.
At that moment, Zhou Wan moved closer to her, "Want to go for a walk?"
The two went out, and Zhou Wan looked at Xu Yuehuai, "Liu Cuiming has been acting strangely lately, always going out in the middle of the night. I wonder what he's up to?"
She was an administrator and also the team's logistics manager. Hearing this, Xu Yuehuai asked in surprise, "She's so old, could it be that she's out meeting her lover?"
"It's hard to say." But Zhou Wan looked worried. "We need to be careful. The more I look at her, the stranger she seems."
In fact, Xu Yuehuai never liked Liu Cuiming.
They even wanted to kick her out, but since she was a relative, she couldn't do anything too outrageous.
At this moment, all we can do is remind you, "Just be careful."
“Mother, you should be more careful. Everyone suspects you have money.”
Xu Yuehuai chuckled, pinching her empty sleeve. "They don't have much money anyway, and even if they did, it's still with you. They really have wild imaginations."
“But people always assume you’re rich,” she countered, “just be careful anyway.”
"Okay, I got it."
The two walked forward.
We're tired from walking and ready to rest.
While taking a break at the teahouse, Xu Yuehuai saw a figure whose back looked exactly like Qi Guze. She hurriedly walked over, but when she saw him face to face, she realized that he was a man in white clothes, but his appearance was completely different from Qi Guze's.
Qi Guze was elegant and handsome, full of energy and spirit. His stunning appearance was unique. As for the man in front of him, he had dark skin, but he insisted on wearing white.
In this way, it's like the indigenous people of Africa.
