Chapter 288 [People who meet will meet again]
Being stared at by Wen Qiao, Xin Che coughed a few times in embarrassment.
Wen Qiao didn't know that Xin Che was poisoned and thought he was sick. He thought he was pretending to cough so perfunctorily.
She had to expose this guy's true face.
When he saw that there was a red spot on Xin Che's slightly open collar, Wen Qiao became even angrier. He reached for the dagger at his waist, wishing he could draw it right there and then.
This kid is so arrogant because he relies on his good looks to charm Li Li Mi.
A pretty boy who uses his beauty to please men!
Suppressing his anger, Wen Qiao came up with a plan.
"Li Li, this is freshly brewed flower tea, try it."
Wen Qiao walked to the right side of the table, holding a teacup in his hand and was about to pass Xin Che to hand the teacup to Jiang Lili.
However, her hand loosened at this moment, and the teacup fell directly to Xin Che's feet.
Xin Che, who originally looked weak, subconsciously took action with lightning speed and caught the teacup steadily when it was still an inch away from falling to the ground.
Not a drop of tea spilled out of the cup, only a slight ripple appeared.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet.
Wen Qiao showed an expression of "as expected". She looked at Jiang Lili and said, "Lili, he was pretending to be sick. He is already well."
Xin Che placed the teacup on the table in silence. He loosened his wrist and said in a dull tone, "I just don't want the cup to break and splash onto Li Li."
Jiang Lili actually heard a hint of grievance in the voice.
Xin Che's voice was indifferent, with a hint of loneliness and coldness: "If Admiral Wen doesn't like me being around Li Li, then I'll leave."
After saying that, he stood up and began to sort out the unmarked letters on the table. As he sorted, he looked at Jiang Lili and said, "Lili, I'll go to the camp in the mountains."
Wen Qiao raised her eyebrows when she heard Xin Che's words. This bastard was so full of green tea flavor in just two sentences. The God of War was not only proficient in military tactics but also skilled in tea art!
Wen Qiao sneered and looked at Jiang Lili: "Lili, smell this flower tea, it's so strong."
Xin Che frowned. Although he didn't understand, he could feel that Wen Qiao's curse was very dirty.
Wen Qiao: I just take advantage of these ancient people because they can't understand modern witty sayings!
The eyes of Xin Che and Wen Qiao, two big Buddhas, fell on Jiang Lili at the same time, and her hair went numb.
Jiang Lili just wanted to escape.
Take that awful notebook and leave the scene immediately.
Who could tell her why the two most emotionally stable people around her were fighting here?
Does she have to say "Stop fighting"?
Fortunately, the appearance of the navy commander rescued Jiang Lili.
Just as the atmosphere was at a stalemate, the navy commander called out from outside the tent: "Admiral Wen, we have a new attack formation, come and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Wen Qiao gave Xin Che a glare and then quickly left.
Jiang Lili and Xin Che breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Jiang Lili pushed Xin Che who had stood up and asked him to sit back down: "Please take a rest and stop struggling."
As soon as Xin Che sat down, the notebook that almost killed someone was at hand.
He froze, paused, and said, "He Xiuzhu sent the book by mistake, I..."
Jiang Lili said with an "I understand" look on her face: "Okay, don't explain, I understand."
Xin Che suddenly felt powerless, and even wanted to disregard his image and dig into the bamboo basket to pick up the letter and spread it out to prove his innocence.
Jiang Lili saw the cup of scented tea on the table, safe and sound, and recalled the tense atmosphere just now. She tried to mediate: "Qiaoqiao is straightforward. She didn't mean to target you."
Xin Che shook his head to indicate that it was okay. "I understand. I will cherish them just like you do."
“They are all very important people to you.”
As soon as Xin Che finished speaking, Jiang Lili tilted her head and looked at him: "You too."
The little girl's eyes were bright, playful and clear, and his reflection was in her eyes.
Xin Che suddenly felt relieved, and even the bites from the poisonous ants on his body no longer hurt.

After noon, Jiang Lili and her group said goodbye to Guan Yue at Cangsha Ferry.
The He family has a merchant caravan returning from Southeast Asia that passes by the south coast of Haizhu Island and will take Guan Yue back to Lingnan.
Guan Yue, the leader of the mountain bandits, brought back her 700 escorts who had trained on Haizhou Island to continue expanding the escort agency.
Half of these seven hundred people were originally residents of Guanjiazhai. They were already loyal to Guan Yue. Under the leadership of Guan, the village chief who had a background in Marxism and philosophy, they made further progress and reached an ideological level that allowed them to continue to develop their subordinates.
Currently, Yuelai Escort Agency is active in Lingnan and Linzhou north of Qinglin Mountain. Guan Yue is going back this time to continue to expand the agency with Li Xiaoguan and develop it towards Jiangnan.
The spirits and appearance of these 700 escorts when they left were completely refreshed compared to when they arrived.
The He family caravan's large ship docked at Cangsha Ferry.
Guan Yue was still saying goodbye to Jiang Lili and the others when the escorts boarded the boat first.
This He family caravan was one of the most successful ones in the Southeast Asia. The merchants on the ship were all very wealthy and seemed to have made a lot of money.
Looking at the escort's tattered clothes, the He family's caravan leader couldn't help but sympathize, "Aren't your salaries very generous? Why are your clothes still so tattered?"
Some of the other merchants, because of the escorts' bandit identities, were prejudiced and asked, "Is it your leader who is treating you harshly?"
"No, no, no."
The escorts quickly denied it: "The boss treated us very well. He helped us settle our families. Even our children can go to school. We have candy to eat every day and meat for every meal."
The businessmen were very surprised and somewhat unconvinced.
"Then why are you still dressed like this?"
The escort said calmly, "Our village chief once said that it is better to arm yourself with knowledge than to adorn yourself with gorgeous clothes."
Another escort nodded in agreement: "Yes, knowledge is in our heads, and skills are in our bodies. No one can take it away."
The leader of the caravan widened his eyes when he heard the words of the two simply dressed escorts, and after the two escorts finished speaking, they just waved their sleeves and left calmly.
A slight shock spread like ripples in the caravan leader's heart.
Everyone in the caravan stood in awe!
Sheng Zhixing and Wen Qiao looked at each other. Their bandit sister was indeed a major in Marxism and philosophy. She had directly armed her thoughts with philosophy!
The fleet was almost ready. Guan Yue stepped onto the deck and waved to her classmates on shore: "We'll meet again someday. Li Li, please come find me soon!"
Jiang Lili smiled and said, "Okay, I'll bring other new classmates to see you!"
The He family caravan's ship set sail.
*
Eight days later, a new fleet arrived on the south coast of Haizhou Island.
This time, it was the head of the He family who sent people to support Jiang Lili in going to Mi Country.
The He family sent over 500 craftsmen, farmers, hunters, butchers and other personnel. Some of these people were trained by the He family, while others were sent by classmates from all over the world.
After Jiang Lili signed a cooperation agreement with the head of the He family, Jiang Lili not only compiled a flower cultivation manual with Liao Dabao, but also quietly did something big with the grassland Khan Yan Chaoyue and Xin Ningyu.
