Chapter 54 Arrival in the Capital
They walked for a long time. Xie Lan estimated that it had been half an hour.
"It's not the end yet?"
Shen Xun’s muffled voice sounded.
Xie Lan looked at her and asked, "Tired?"
Shen Xun shook his head, "I'm not tired, I'm just quite bored."
Xie Lan chuckled, "Then let me tell you a story?"
Shen Xun was looking forward to it. "What story?"
Xie Lan cleared his throat and said the title of the book...
"Pah! How dare you say that!"
Shen Xun's face flushed red, and he covered Xie Lan's mouth with his hand, but he used too much force and knocked him to the ground.
Her head hit Xie Lan's chest, wow, it was hard.
Aren't chest muscles soft?
Xie Lan's suppressed laughter rang out, and Shen Xun poked him angrily, "Are you deliberately posing?"
"Don't you like it, Xun?"
Xie Lan smiled, "Whatever you like, we'll have it the same next time."
Shen Xun rolled his eyes, "There won't be a next time."
"Also, no driving!"
The book title he just mentioned was the crappy little novel she was reading while slacking off.
He is not shy in public.
In response to this, Xie Lan said: What do you mean in public? Aren’t there just the two of them here?
Continuing to walk forward, Xie Lan became much more serious this time. He told the domineering CEO novel he had read as a story.
Chen Xun had stockpiled a lot of novels of various genres in her space. Qi Yunxi asked her to take them out and even set up a special library. The girls often went to the library in groups to "study".
I don’t know when Xie Lan went there, but the book he is talking about now is the most popular in the bookstore.
After walking for another hour, they still hadn't reached the end. Shen Xun even felt that this road had no end.
"No, I'm tired. Why don't we go back first and come back when we have time."
Shen Xun is in a mess.
Seeing this, Xie Lan squatted down and motioned her to come up, "Axun, I'll carry you."
With Xie Lan as his humanoid mount, Shen Xun lay comfortably behind him, "Alan, aren't you going inside?"
Xie Lan walked forward steadily, "Didn't you say you were tired? Let's go back and rest."
Staggering, Shen Xun nodded in a daze. When he woke up again, it was already noon the next day.
Qi Yunxi felt sorry for her staying up late last night, so he brought her lunch into the room. While Chen Xun was eating, he complained to her about what happened last night.
"Nothing," Shen Xun sighed, "We walked for so long in vain."
Qi Yunxi poured her a glass of water, "Mom, did Jiang Xinming find the wrong place? Should I go and test him later?"
Shen Xun thought, "It's possible, but you don't need to test him, someone is watching him in secret."
Shen Yunzheng's two secret guards were re-employed. They were transformed from secret guards to visible guards, and then from visible guards to secret guards again.
Considering that Jiang Xinming had accomplices, in order to prevent him from secretly taking his accomplices to the cave to hunt for treasure, Chen Xun changed the route of the land reclamation.
After Jiang Xinming had taken great pains to pass on the message and finally received a reply from Chu Tiankuo, when he went to the cliff to check the situation, the sky seemed to have fallen.
Why are there so many people over there?
When he inquired, he found out that the bare land on this side of the cliff looked ugly, so Shen Xun gave the order to plant crops.
Jiang Xinming: “…”
Is it really necessary?
After he discovered the cave, he originally wanted to go and take a look himself, but he gave up after walking less than two hundred meters.
It was so dark inside that you couldn't see your fingers.
Jiang Xinming had no trusted subordinates, so he had to send a message to Chu Tiankuo, asking him to sneak in with his men.
Seeing that there were so many people, Jiang Xinming quickly sent an urgent message to Chu Tiankuo, asking them not to come for the time being, because if they ran into them, they would not be able to win the fight.
Chu Tiankuo, who had already bought all kinds of supplies and equipment and was waiting to go into the cave to search for treasure: "..."
waste!
Chu Tiankuo originally wanted to let a smart person sneak in, but there were people guarding the place, and they were very wary of strangers, so it was impossible to sneak in.
In desperation, Chu Tiankuo had to place his hope on Jiang Xinming and sent a message to ask him to keep an eye on the movements inside and send a message to him immediately when he found an opportunity.
The words in the letter were written very impolitely, almost treating Jiang Xinming as a subordinate. After receiving the letter, Jiang Xinming curled his lips and cursed Chu Tiankuo several times in his heart.
Who the hell is Chu Tiankuo? How dare he speak to him like that? After he finds the treasure and returns to Beichu, he will see how he will deal with him!
But there was a banknote enclosed in the letter, so he seemed to be quite sensible.
"Brother Xinming, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry?"
Qi Yunxi and Zhong Danyue pushed the door open and saw Jiang Xinming's angry face, and hurriedly expressed their concern.
Jiang Xinming crumpled the letter into a ball. "It's okay, it's okay. Why are you here?"
Of course, it was the same old talk again, like I miss you, I picked some fruits to give to you... After a while of talking, the two girls put down the worthless wild fruits, took the silver notes and left.
When they were alone, Qi Yunxi and Zhong Danyue clapped their hands.
Qi Yunxi counted the banknotes, grinning from ear to ear, "Sister Yue, you are really amazing. Jiang Xinming didn't doubt it at all!"
Zhong Danyue said modestly: "I'm not that great, I just have some accomplishments in calligraphy."
Jiang Xinming was not familiar with Chu Tiankuo and did not know that Chu Tiankuo was a smiling tiger. No matter what he thought in private, he was better at pretending than anyone else.
He still needed Jiang Xinming, so naturally he would not write such an impolite letter to Jiang Xinming.
The letter that Jiang Xinming saw was written by Zhong Danyue imitating Chu Tiankuo's handwriting.
"It's a pity about the banknotes in the envelope. Mother said taking something without asking is stealing, so we can't just take it."
Qi Yunxi sighed.
Zhong Danyue tapped her forehead. "Isn't this all in your hands? You exchanged a few sour fruits for a few hundred taels of silver. It's such a profitable business, and you still think it's not enough?"
Qi Yunxi chuckled, "That's enough, Sister Yue, let's go find Big Brother. I heard that Jintang City has published a new storybook, so we need Big Brother to bring it back for us."
At the same time, Princess Su's carriage also arrived in the capital. Outside the capital, people were already waiting at the city gate.
After entering the capital, Qi Jingyin lifted the curtain of the car to look outside. It was extremely lively outside, more than twice as prosperous as Prince Su's fiefdom.
"Mother, I haven't seen that before. Can I get off the car and take a look?"
Qi Jinghao was also a little restless. He always loved the hustle and bustle, and at this moment he was staring at Princess Su eagerly.
Princess Su bluntly refused them, "No, let's go to the palace to see your father first. After we settle down, mother will have someone take you out of the palace to play."
Qi Jinghao muttered quietly: "Father... What is there for the emperor to see? I've seen it for more than ten years."
When Prince Su ascended the throne, Qi Jinghao was unable to change his ways for a while.
Princess Su was shocked by his words. In the royal family, even between father and son, such treasonous words could not be uttered.
Qi Jinghao is such a naughty kid.
Princess Su scolded him with a fierce face, and Qi Jinghao repeatedly promised that he would never say such words again, and only then did Princess Su let him go.
