Chapter 157 The Flying Demon
Based on the content of their conversation, Yun Fu guessed their approximate identities.
He should be the guard of the Dasheng Palace, guarding the national treasury.
It was the first time she heard other people's movements in the treasury.
Yun Fu was not sure if the other party would be able to hear any noise she made.
To be on the safe side, she found a secluded corner and hid there.
Wait until the two leave before coming out.
"Why hasn't that elusive flying thief come lately? Did he go somewhere else to steal something and get caught?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Before, the Third Prince invited so many talented people and laid a tight net outside the treasury, but they couldn't catch him. Who outside has the ability to catch him?"
"Don't speculate. Some time ago, the high monk invited by the Third Prince said that this thief is not a human at all, but a demon! A great demon that has been cultivating for at least a thousand years!"
The man lowered his voice and continued, "Do you know why it always comes here without even glancing at the mountains of gold and silver or priceless jade, but only steals the medicinal herbs?"
"Why?"
"Because the high monk said that this demon must have been injured during training, that's why it needs those herbs to save its life. I advise Your Majesty to be more open-minded. This demon took the herbs from the national treasury, which is also a merit for Your Majesty. As for the bloody words left behind, the high monk also said that it was the demon repaying a favor! Tell Your Majesty to be careful of traitors who are plotting to revolt and usurp the throne."
Yun Fu, the real flying demon, expressed her admiration for this group of people's ability to make up stories.
If she guessed correctly, this should be a trick that Chu Jingyan came up with.
The two guards then started talking about Chu Jingyan.
They praised him for being so great, not only for inviting a high-ranking monk, but also for inviting a young doctor from the Divine Doctor Valley for the Dog Emperor.
"Look, the Third Prince, knowing of the famine in the northwest, even petitioned His Majesty to go there to provide relief. Among the princes, only the Third Prince truly cares about the people of Dasheng."
Yun Fu almost couldn't hold back her laughter. Chu Jingyan was such a hypocrite, what a good hypocrite.
If he really cared about the people, would he frame the loyal and brave Qi family?
Wait, isn't northwest the direction they are in now?
Could it be that Chu Jingyan came here just for Qi Hanzhou?
Those minions you sent along the way didn't succeed. Are you planning to do it yourself this time?
Yun Fu raised the corners of her lips. She was looking forward to having a clash with the third prince of Dasheng.
After the two guards who were chatting about gossip left, Yun Fu took some medicinal herbs from the dog emperor's treasury, so that the dog emperor could make full use of these things.
——
Early the next morning.
Yunfu got up very early.
The sky was still gray and not yet bright.
Yun Fu pushed open the door, walked to the railing, stretched her arms and waist, and noticed the figures moving in the open space below the building.
It seems that someone got up earlier than her.
She went downstairs and when she got closer, she found that it was Qi Hanzhou leading a large group of people doing boxing.
Yun Fu frowned unconsciously. Has the scar on this person's body from the black bear's scratches completely healed? Why is he engaging in such strenuous exercise?
At this time, Qi Hanzhou was shirtless, revealing his bulging muscles, which made him particularly conspicuous among the crowd.
The belt was tightly wrapped around his narrow waist, and as he moved, one could vaguely see the thin waistline on both sides of his waist.
Yun Fu realized that she had been attracted to him and was staring at him. Her cheeks suddenly felt hot and she quickly turned around, wanting to leave.
Unexpectedly, Qi Hanzhou also recognized her footsteps and walked towards her quickly.
"Yun Fu, wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
"What did you say? Say it." Yun Fu took a deep breath and steadied herself.
There are so many people watching, it would be so embarrassing for her to hide away at this time!
"I want to go to Nanhuo Village with you."
"No need!" Yun Fu refused decisively without hesitation for a second.
In her current state, Yun Fu really couldn't ride a horse with him calmly.
No, let alone riding on the same horse.
It was at this moment that he moved closer.
Yun Fu felt that her heartbeat and breathing were affected.
"But I'm worried about you going alone." Qi Hanzhou no longer cared whether she was still angry with him.
"I'm not going alone. Yan San will bring a few people with me."
This time, no matter what happens, she must bring back some black gold stone.
The cave for firing bricks and tiles has been dug, and the raw clay has been prepared. Now everything is ready, only the coal is left.
"Why are you willing to take Yan San with you, but not let me go with you? My skills are better than all of them combined!"
"But you are blind, and it will be troublesome to take you with you." Yun Fu really couldn't think of any other reason.
She couldn't tell him that she didn't want him to go with her because she would be affected and become different from herself if she stayed with him!
Qi Hanzhou thought that he had gone through so many things and had already developed a strong enough heart, but he didn't expect that this little girl could plunge him into pain with just a simple sentence.
"Okay, I understand."
Qi Hanzhou hadn't slept well these past few days, and his voice became hoarse whenever he spoke.
Yun Fu looked at the lonely figure, and a feeling of reluctance rose in her heart. Her mouth was faster than her brain, and she said something inexplicably: "Forget it, if you want to go, let's go together!"
By the time she realized what she had said, it was too late to regret.
Yun Fu didn't bring too many people this time.
He just asked Yan San to take a few brothers and drive two simple ox carts to go along.
It just so happened that the ox cart was empty, so Qi Hanzhou could ride on it, solving the problem of close contact between the two.
Yun Fu was riding a horse alone, looking as cool as she could be.
"Boss, if we go over there empty-handed like this, will those people from Nanhuo Village really be willing to give us five thousand kilograms of Black Gold Stone?"
To be honest, Yan San was a little worried.
Yun Fu patted the bag filled with herbs on her back and replied, "It's not free, it's a trade."
However, whether this transaction can proceed normally depends on whether the other party wants to conduct the transaction properly.
"Once we reach the eighth-level district, don't follow me for now. Wait for my notification in Zhongtu Village, which is adjacent to Nanhuo Village."
"Boss, why? Why can't we follow?"
Yun Fu didn't want to explain too much because she was not sure what would happen when she went to Nanhuozhai this time.
"I told you to wait, so just wait."
"Then will General Qi go with us or with you, boss?" Yan San asked.
"I'm with her." Qi Hanzhou's voice was anxious, and he gave the answer before Yun Fu.
Yun Fu didn't want to offend him, so she nodded and said, "Okay, he'll come with me."
