When it got dark, Su Lei tried to urge several people to return to Yaowang Palace, but was stopped by Nan Jiao.
"Let them be happy for a while longer. How difficult it was to finally become a family!"
"With Lieutenant Chen guarding the outside, no one can climb over the steep slope behind the mountain after dark!"
Su Lei looked at him curiously: "Aren't you afraid that someone will turn around and ambush you during the day?"
Nanjiao smiled slightly: "During the day, I planted Bairisan on all the mountain roads that can be accessed. Except for the children of the Divine Doctor Valley, no one else can enter!"
Su Lei couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "I didn't expect you to be able to take care of things now!"
After saying this, I immediately regretted it.
In the current situation, he shouldn't irritate Nanjiao anymore, but he has been used to bickering since he was a child, and he forgot for a while...
Unexpectedly, for the first time, Nanjiao did not quarrel with him, but smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I was the one who escaped too much before, which is why Brother Su was so surprised!"
"But in the future, I want to see the world in a different way!"
For a moment, Su Lei didn't know whether it was relief or new and old hatreds that suddenly surged up. He couldn't help but said another sentence: "Then this time, I hope you can see people in a different way!"
Nanjiao paused for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile: "Then, I accept your good advice!"
Jun Lan, who was walking in the middle, finally told Sang Ling about the last time Qin Jiaoxi fell into the water in Qin Xiang's Mansion. She felt her mouth was dry, and when she looked up again and saw the starry sky, she suddenly said "Ah": "The sky is full of stars."
It’s all black!”
"Miss, let's go back quickly!"
After saying that, there was silence all around. Jun Lan looked up at the sky and saw Sang Ling and Qin Jiaoxi staring at him with their arms crossed.
"What are you doing..."
Qin Jiaoxi & Sang Ling: "I said the wrong thing, do it again!"
Jun Lan couldn't laugh or cry, clasping her hands together and begging for mercy: "Okay, I made a mistake... Two sisters, it's getting dark, let's go home quickly!"
Bo Jiming interrupted them with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, wait a moment!"
Jun Lan asked curiously: "What are you waiting for, Prince Shang? Waiting for someone?"
Could it be that Jing Yan and Jing Jian would also come to celebrate Xi'er's birthday?
Before I could finish this thought, I suddenly heard a sudden explosion in the valley.
Everyone was shocked, thinking that the army of Da Zhao Kingdom was conducting a night attack outside the valley.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, I saw a burst of fire shooting into the sky, and then fireworks bloomed all over the valley.
"Xi'er, happy birthday!"
Qin Jiaoxi pursed her lips and looked at the sky, then suddenly turned around and hugged Bo Jiming: "Thank you!"
Jun Lan immediately reached out and covered San Ling's eyes out of reflex.
On the side, Su Lei and Nan Jiao silently turned their heads and looked up at the sky.
Su Lei: "Tsk, Tsk, Prince Shang really has money and can't find anywhere to spend it!"
Nanjiao: "People like you who have never been in love will naturally not understand this feeling!"
Su Lei smiled: "Love? It's just an illusion that drags down people's hearts!"
Nanjiao: "...I am speechless!"
Think about it carefully, what did he gain after being with Bai Zhi?
Was it the care and concern that Angelica dahurica gave him?
Is it the joy that is almost impossible to touch and that occasionally makes you faint when you fall in love so deeply?
Or those good feelings he gave her?
For a moment, Nanjiao didn't have an answer.
After the fireworks ended, Qin Jiaoxi and Bo Jiming were already on their way back to Yaowang Palace.
"You all hurry up, why are you still hanging around?"
Everyone: "???"
If you don't speak, are we embarrassed to turn back?
…
The next day, before Sang Ling could say goodbye to everyone, the three elders of the Sang family had arrived at the Valley of Divine Medicine.
Seeing that Sang Ling was safe and sound, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sorry for making you elders worry!"
Qin Jiaoxi stood up first and said: "Ling'er promised to celebrate her eleventh birthday with me, so in order to keep her promise, she traveled across the mountains and came to the Divine Doctor Valley. We are about to send her back!"
The three elders stared at San Ling seriously: "So, you came here secretly to keep your promise?"
Sang Ling nodded madly: "Yes, yes, I promised to accompany her on her birthday as early as in Shuiqin Pavilion, but I didn't expect to leave Zhaodu City at that time!"
After a pause, he said happily: "Now Qin Jiaoxi is my serious sister, shouldn't I celebrate her birthday?"
The three elders exchanged glances with each other and relaxed their brows: "In this case, the punishment for sneaking out will be reduced by half!"
"What?" Sang Ling said with a grimace, "You still need to be punished?"
The third elder thought for a moment: "I will allow you to be punished after the birthday party!"
At this time, Lin Yan suddenly pushed Qin Jiaoxi: "Xi'er, didn't you say you were going to celebrate Ling'er's birthday?"
Qin Jiaoxi nodded quickly: "Yes, then I will go to the Sang family with the three elders this time!"
She didn't go with him last time because she was worried about the situation in the Valley of Divine Medicine.
Now that we know what the trouble is, and both Meng Yinqin and Chen Duwei are able to deal with it and still have the energy to continue to open up the dense forest in the mountains, then Qin Jiaoxi has nothing to worry about.
It just so happened that there was one last day before the river reversed course, so it was quite convenient for everyone to take the boat back to Sangshi together.
Originally Bo Jiming wanted to follow him, but considering Sang's habit of punishing people at every turn, he gave up in the end.
Anyway, if anything happens, he and Xi'er can still meet in space.
Returning to Sang's family, as soon as they left the river, they looked up and saw Yan Xun and Sang Lanyun coming to pick them up.
Qin Jiaoxi got off the boat and walked to Sang Lanyun without thinking. She performed the greeting ceremony first, and then immediately said out of curiosity: "You are all here, so who is guarding Shuiqin Pavilion in the imperial capital?"
Sang Lanyun smiled: "Have you forgotten that your junior uncle is still in the imperial capital?"
Qin Jiaoxi's lips trembled: "My poor little uncle, she...eh? She can actually go to Shuiqin Pavilion?"
The smile on Sang Lanyun's face faded a little: "As long as she doesn't leave the imperial capital, she will be free!"
If you want to go to the palace, you can go back to the Regent's Palace, or go to the Xuanguo Duke's Palace.
After all, the emperor's current attitude is to reconcile with the regent.
Even though the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhao Kingdom had surrounded the Divine Doctor Valley for more than ten days, and there were constant conflicts during this period, they were still in the name of reconciliation.
The trick for dragging is to see where the food and grass can be dragged.
Thinking of this, Qin Jiaoxi frowned secretly.
Although she and Bo Jiming were able to use the space and time bug to purchase food and grass in surrounding cities, it was not a long-term solution after all.
Even though the south has already had a bumper harvest in midsummer and there will be another in late autumn, people still have to stock up on food!
Moreover, Shang's rice and grain shop secretly purchases a bunch of rice grains in each city every few days. As time goes by, the higher-ups will find out. Wouldn't it be even more troublesome when all the granaries in each city are locked?
The best way is to leave as soon as possible and go to Yanchu Country.
Raising troops will not be so difficult if the whole country works together.
Sang Lanyun watched the expression on Qin Jiaoxi's face change instantly, and sighed: "What are you thinking about?"
