Chapter 259: Panic in the Capital
Jiang Lili looked up at the sky. It was a clear and cloudless day with stars dotted across the sky. She remembered that when she was in high school and had evening self-study classes and was walking in the playground, the sky was often like this.
"My backpack connects to a world a thousand years from now. In that world, there is a reliable classmate who delivers supplies to us."
"We communicate through a communication tool called class group chat. There are many people in the group. I'll introduce them to you when I have the chance."
Jiang Lili thought that it would be better not to mention the matter of Yan Chaoyue first. She was afraid that Xin Che would rush to the grassland with a gun and beat Yan Chaoyue up.
…
After explaining everything to Xin Che, Jiang Lili said, "So I'm not some little immortal. I'm just an ordinary person who got a magic weapon."
Xin Che curved his lips: "To me, you are."
If someone with evil intentions has this magical backpack, he will only plunder this backward world.
But Jiang Lili and her classmates are now trying to save the situation and move things in a good direction.
He could see that Jiang Lili had tried her best to develop the south bank of Haizhou quickly and improve the lives of the villagers.
Jiang Lili was a little surprised at how quickly Xin Che accepted it. She blinked at him and said, "Do you have anything else you want to ask me?"
When Xin Che heard this, the color in his phoenix eyes became deeper than before, and his eyes were full of Jiang Lili's reflection.
He stared into her eyes, the question he wanted to ask was already on the tip of his tongue, about to come out.
But in the end, he just withdrew his gaze, took the cloak he was carrying from the wooden block beside him, and put it on Jiang Lili.
Jiang Lili watched as Xin Che's slender fingertips grasped the cloak's laces and deftly tied a bow in front of her.
I have never taught myself this, Xin Che learned it by himself.
She raised an eyebrow. Xin Che was indeed very fast at learning new things.
Jiang Lili naturally took Xin Che's hand and said, "Let's go! I'll introduce you to some new friends!"
"I'm telling you, that old man is quite skilled. You can..."
Jiang Lili remembered that Sheng Zhixing's meeting was about modern martial arts and favor. It was a good opportunity for them to exchange and learn from each other, but she suddenly remembered that their age difference made it impossible to fight, and she paused.
She had heard about the League Secretary's modern experiences and felt deeply sorry. Although he was in good health, he was over 20 years older than them. What was the point of having an empty throne? How many years could he sit on it?
Jiang Lili felt that God was so unfair.
Xin Che seemed to see Jiang Lili's doubts and held her hand instead: "Don't worry, he has reunited with you now. This is all arranged by fate."
Jiang Lili's anxiety was soothed after hearing Xin Che's words, "Okay!"

At this time, Wen Qiao reunited with the second, third, fourth and first leaders of the pirates and the first leader Rong Shen.
Wen Qiao led them to the barbecue fire and asked, "Look who's here?"
The pirates looked at the muscular man who was sitting cross-legged and eating grilled fish in surprise, their eyes flickering.
The third in command, Rong Yi, was surprised and said, "Big Boss, why are you here?"
When the pirates saw Rong Shen, there was only surprise in their eyes, not joy.
They live a very comfortable life here. They don't have to worry about food and clothing. They have a variety of snacks and fresh fruits and vegetables to eat until they are full. They no longer have to go hungry.
They were really afraid that the boss would take them back to their old jobs!
Rong Yi also felt nervous when he saw these people. After all, he had only dealt with these people in his memory, and he was not very familiar with them.
However, he had a hunch that these pirates seemed very afraid of him, so he waved his hand and said casually, "Sit down, what are you standing there for?"
The second-in-command, the oldest member of the team, bravely asked, "Boss, how did you find this place? Are you going to take us back to the sea to continue our pirate life?"
He saw Rong Shen looking very relaxed, and he didn't look like he had been captured. He probably had an agreement with Miss Jiang and the others...
The Second Master immediately panicked: "Could it be that Miss Jiang thinks we ate too much in one day and asked the First Master to take us back?"
The others were also speculating in their hearts, until Rong Shen said, "That's impossible! We'll just follow Miss Jiang from now on!"
Rong Shen wiped the oil from his mouth and said, "Let's not do things like piracy that involve burning and killing. Let's do some positive energy activities."
"I plan to be a teacher in the village school, teaching the children and spreading knowledge."
The pirates were relieved when they heard the first sentence Rong Shen said, but when they heard the boss say that he wanted to teach in the village school, they looked at Rong Shen as if he were a monster, as if they had heard something unbelievable.
"No, did I hear correctly? Big Boss, you are going to the academy to be a teacher?"
"Don't be so jumpy, you're probably teaching kids how to fight!"
"Isn't there Marquis Zhaoping's martial arts school that teaches fighting? The boss just mentioned the academy!"
"What is positive energy? Boss, you've killed the most people in our team, so don't teach other people's children bad things!"
…
Hearing the pirates' chattering speculations, Rong Shen said helplessly, "It's just teaching! Is that weird?"
The second in command looked suspicious and said, "Big boss, you can't even write your own name, how are you going to teach a child?"
The Third Master immediately began to give Rong Shen a test: "Big Master, the six of us each want two skewers. How many skewers should we grill in total?"
Rong Shen felt helpless when he heard this childish question! If he answered it, he would feel like he was lowering his status, but if he didn't answer it, these people would doubt him!
Rong Shen's face flushed with anger. He swore that he would use his knowledge of math, physics, chemistry, and biology to bully these people. "When I give lectures in the academy, you guys have to attend! And I'll check your notes every day and make you repeat what I said!"
Rong Shen spoke in a serious tone, but the pirates were smiling playfully, as if coaxing a child, saying to Rong Shen: "Okay, okay! Big Boss, you go teach, and we will definitely come to support you!"
They all felt that with Rong Shen's violent temper, he would probably not be able to handle even one or two classes of teaching anything.
They never expected that the seeds of their tragic fate were sown on this night.
"Come on, boss, let me test you again!"
…
Wen Qiao and his friends ate skewers and drank wine, smiling as they watched Rong Shen, a genius in science, being "troubled" by a group of illiterate pirates with questions at the third grade level of elementary school.
The atmosphere on the south coast of Haizhou Island is full of joy.
In the capital, however, there is a vague feeling that a storm is about to come.
As the first month of the lunar year approaches, palace banquets are held in the palace almost every half month, and there are many people coming and going.
@Hou Xiaoxiao: You three should be careful lately. I have a feeling something's not right in the capital lately. That cowardly Prince Jin hasn't been into women lately, hasn't been to any brothels, and hasn't been back home often. I suspect he's secretly doing something behind my back.
@Zhou Jushan: No way, don't scare me. He's not going to rebel, is he? Emperor Qingning has sat on the throne for over 20 years, and the princes can't hold back anymore... Large banquets like palace banquets are the most prone to accidents in TV dramas. If someone assassinates the emperor, I'll be the first to take the blame!
