Man and horse galloped on the road. It was a day's journey for an ordinary horse, but Zhenzhu arrived at Liangzhou City in the afternoon.
People were queuing in and out of the city gate. Ji Changying rode on his horse and followed the crowd inside obediently.
When it was time to check the pass, she reached out and took out a badge.
The guards at the city gate immediately showed respect on their faces: "Excuse me, please come in--"
Ji Changying took back his badge and rode into the city.
The garrison watched the people leave and murmured: "I don't understand these adults, why are they queuing up when they have badges..."
Pearl was very conspicuous walking on the streets of Liangzhou City.
Its body is covered with shiny black hair like silk, its limbs are strong and its eyes are bright, making it look extremely majestic.
Even Ji Changying was stared at several times, and some people even boldly approached her on the street and asked if she was selling the horse.
Even after being rejected by Ji Changying, he still didn't give up and asked where the horse was bought, which made Ji Changying very annoyed. He simply sped up and ran towards Prince Ping's Mansion.
Ji Changying had already memorized the location of the palace. When she reached the side door, she put the pearls in the alley, took a deep breath and jumped onto the wall.
With a sweep of his special power, he moved like a ghost, moving through every corner and dodging the secret guards and security guards hidden in various places in the palace.
Zhongli Zhou was practicing martial arts in his yard at the moment and was completely unaware of Ji Changying's arrival.
Ji Changying sneaked into his yard and saw him dancing with his sword enthusiastically. His hands were itching, so he decided to launch a sneak attack.
Zhongli Zhou felt a sneak attack and was shocked and angry, so he swung his sword and attacked.
Ji Changying pinched the sword lightly with her two fingers, and swung it out along with the force of the sword. With a flick of the sword, the whole sword carried Zhong Lizhou back a few steps.
"How did you get in?"
At that moment, Zhonglizhou thought that it was sent by the barbarians or Kyoto. He thought of many people but he didn't expect it to be her!
"Stop talking nonsense and let's fight!"
After saying this, Ji Changying quickly stepped forward, and Zhong Lizhou hurriedly began to defend himself.
Sensing that something was amiss, the guards rushed in. When they saw the prince sparring with a girl, they all stood aside and watched without blinking.
Zhongli Zhou was more and more surprised as the fight went on. He hadn't seen her for a while and felt that her kung fu was much better than before.
In the past, Zhongli Zhou could feel that his opponent took advantage of his greater strength, but in fact his moves were crude and his internal strength was weak. If he met someone with strong internal strength and rich combat experience, he would not be able to fight for long.
But all these shortcomings have disappeared, his internal strength is much more abundant than before, his moves are more skillful, and every move he makes when dodging does not seem random, but seems to have been learned.
"Have you been practicing in seclusion during this period?"
This made Ji Changying very proud: "Not bad, just some casual practice."
She never said anything about the hardships she had experienced.
Finally, the two of them passed each other, and she snatched the sword from Zhonglizhou's hand and put it on his neck: "You lose."
Zhong Lizhou was a little dissatisfied: "How can this be the same? The more you fight, the more energetic you become, while the more you fight, the more tired I become. I'm not as strong as you to begin with!"
"Anyway, I won." Ji Changying proudly made a sword flower, flicked his hand and put the sword back into the hanging scabbard.
Zhong Lizhou turned around with a dark face and looked at the guards: "Everyone, go down and get ten military sticks!"
"yes!"
These guards simply turned around and went down to receive their punishment.
"It's not good for you to vent your anger on me like this, is it?"
Zhong Lizhou glanced at her and said, "Their duty is to protect the palace. Now that someone has entered, they don't even know about it. Of course they should be punished."
"All right."
Ji Changying didn't dwell on this question: "Where is the owner of Wanfulou?"
Zhong Lizhou invited her into the study, poured her a cup of tea, and then asked, "How did you get involved with Wanfulou?"
"Isn't the son of the owner of Wanfulou missing? I just happen to know where he is, so I'll use him to exchange for some money for the shop."
"You want a shop? I have several under my name. How big do you want?"
Ji Changying couldn't help but look at Zhong Lizhou: "You are so kind to your subordinates? You give them whatever they need."
Zhonglizhou choked on his tea: "Cough cough cough!!!"
"Don't think too much! I'm just a generous person!" he explained seriously.
Ji Changying curled her lips. No matter what the reason was, freedom given by others could never be compared to freedom that belonged completely to oneself.
"No need. Isn't the money tree here? I guess my shop isn't far away."
"What do you plan to do with the shop?" Zhonglizhou didn't understand why he was setting up a shop out of the blue.
"I'm planning to open a flower and tree shop. I was the one who trimmed the pot of flowers that was sent to the capital. I heard from Yunyi that there are quite a lot of people who want to buy them. Don't these rich people like this kind of things? It would be a shame not to make money that comes right to their doorstep."
Zhong Lizhou was helpless: "Father just rejected Grandpa Huang, saying that he had no more. Now you immediately open a shop to sell it, isn't that a slap in my father's face?"
"That's nothing. I'll give you a pot of powerful stuff and have the prince send it to the capital. I'll also say a few nice words to make up for it."
Then we can promote her again.
"Since you've made up your mind, I won't say anything more. I'll have someone keep an eye on Wanfu Building. The money tree is currently living in the backyard of Wanfu Building. Do you need me to go with you?"
"No!"
After Ji Changying finished speaking, she couldn't wait to stand up.
"Don't you want to eat?"
"I'm going to Wanfulou to eat! Oh, by the way, can you help me send a message to Xie Siheng? Tell Jin Yuanbao to write a letter and send it back, or bring back some token of trust. I can use it!"
After Ji Changying finished her instructions, she flew out. Looking at her anxious back, Zhong Lizhou couldn't even reach her even when he reached out to grab her.
"At least tell me why it has something to do with my cousin..."
——
Wanfulou and Shuiyunjian are both located on the most prosperous street in Liangzhou City.
But one is at the end of the street and the other is in the middle of the street, a difference of one thousand meters.
When passing by Shuiyunjian, it was bustling with people and drinking. Even the vendors’ stalls outside the restaurant were several hundred meters long. Beggars passing by were more accustomed to gathering here.
As we walked further, the place looked much more dilapidated. The shops on both sides of the road were deserted with their doors open, with only the occasional figure walking around inside, making the place look less desolate.
When he arrived at Wanfu Building, Ji Changying looked up.
The signboard of Wanfulou is inlaid with gold edges and hangs above the grand and majestic main entrance.
From the restaurant's decoration and signboard, it can be seen that this restaurant was once glorious, but now the doors and windows are closed and the light is dim, making it look like an old man in his twilight years.
Ji Changying stepped forward and knocked on the door vigorously. After waiting for a long time, someone opened the door with a frown on their face: "We are closed today. Please come back another day."
"I'm here to look for the money tree."
The waiter's eyes widened immediately, and he was a little excited: "Who are you?"
"Letter writer!"
The waiter exclaimed, "Come in quickly!"
After saying that, he left Ji Changying and trotted to the backyard: "Shopkeeper! Boss! People are coming!"
