After a pause, Qi Yunxiao ordered Chen San with a stern face: "Remember, if this gold is lost, I can ask the King of Daxia for compensation. After all, this is on his territory."
"But if you are gone, even if he can give me his manpower, can I use it?"
Chen San: "..."
It seems... there is some truth?!
"So, if you really can't hold on, then save your lives first. I won't punish you for this."
After thinking for a while, Qi Yunxiao added: "If you need to work hard, I will tell you."
Only then did Chen San feel relieved: "Here!"
We had just experienced a fierce battle and everyone was very tired. Chen San divided everyone into different classes. Those who wanted to sleep would make beds on the floor in the yard, while those who were taking turns scattered around.
Qi Yunxiao returned to the room, and Shen Qingyu stuck an arm out from under the quilt: "Go to sleep! It's so tiring."
After riding in that carriage for a whole day, Shen Qingyu felt sore all over due to the shaking and bumps.
But riding a horse is not easy either.
In short, traveling in these ancient times was all physical work!
Qi Yunxiao was so shaken by Shen Qingyu's white arms that his heart began to flutter. He quickly grabbed his arm and stuffed it back into her: "Don't let it out, be careful of catching a cold."
Shen Qingyu didn't believe it: "What are you talking about? It's so hot here, how can you catch a cold?"
The further south you go, the hotter the weather becomes.
When we were in the capital city of Daqi, I still felt a little chilly, but as we headed south, where was it still cooler?
Qi Yunxiao had no choice but to lean into Shen Qingyu's ear: "Auntie, I'm afraid of being seduced by you..."
With so many people guarding the outside, Qi Yunxiao always felt that he would be at a loss if he asked them to listen to the news!
Shen Qingyu pursed her lips and smiled: "Then just bear with it."
Qi Yunxiao: "!!!"
The little lady did it on purpose!
He just made sure that it was not convenient for him to do anything to her right now, so he deliberately hooked her so that he could see but not eat her!
This is bullying.
Qi Yunxiao turned over as if to retaliate, and kissed the young lady hard, until she was so wet that the whole world was spinning!
Letting go of Shen Qingyu, Qi Yunxiao turned to the side and said viciously: "I told you to tease me on purpose! No one can feel better!"
Shen Qingyu's breathing was indeed messed up. She calmed down her breathing and thought about the chaotic fight outside tonight. She didn't dare to tease him anymore and slept honestly.
As soon as the sky dawned, Qi Yunxiao and his party set off again.
When passing through the canyon ahead, Qi Yunxiao asked the dragon guard to go up early to check.
The dragon guard went up to the top of the canyon and saw that nothing was happening, so the group of people headed inside cautiously.
When the team entered the center of the canyon, many people suddenly poured out from both sides of the canyon. Obviously, they had been ambushed on both sides in advance.
Qi Yunxiao seemed to have expected this, and shouted: "Protect the princess with all your strength, retreat!"
Chen San understood: You can risk your life for the safety of the princess, but gold is not worth the life of the princess, so you give priority to protecting the princess.
Chen San made two gestures, and the dragon guards surrounded Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao in the middle and retreated towards the other end.
The carriage team filled with gold was abandoned directly!
Seeing everyone running away, the man in black was dumbfounded: What do you mean? No more gold? Just ran away?
But no matter what, their goal was gold, so everyone headed towards the carriage convoy.
After a while, the first box was opened. Looking at the stones in the box, the petite leader Mu Ruxue was dumbfounded: "How is this possible?"
The other dead soldiers were also dumbfounded. They opened all the boxes one after another and poured out all the stones.
Collective silence: All the boxes contain only stones!
Not even a tael of gold!
Mu Ruxue's brows twisted into knots. She finally understood why these people didn't care about the boxes and carriages and just ran away.
Because they all know that there is no gold in these boxes!
But if this is the case, why did they kill their own soldiers so desperately last night?!
Also, bank notes are not accepted in the banks of Daxia and Daqi. If they don’t bring gold, how can they buy food?
After thinking about it, Mu Ruxue's expression changed drastically: Could it be that they were building the plank road openly and secretly constructing the plank road?
In addition to their group of people who drove stones into Daxia to confuse the public, could there be another group of people who secretly took the gold to the capital?
Without further ado, Mu Ruxue waved her hand: "Withdraw!"
The dead warriors and killers retreated in a hurry, leaving behind carriages and horses. They looked down on them and could easily reveal their secrets.
On the top of the canyon, the dragon guards who had been on sentry duty did not leave. Instead, two of them with the strongest tracking ability quietly followed.
Qi Yunxiao's people got the signal from the people on the top of the canyon, and turned back to pack the carriage, boxes, and stones back.
Chen San's eyes showed admiration: "Sir, you are really amazing! You actually secretly exchanged this gold for stones."
Qi Yunxiao said with a profound expression: "Yeah."
"Then I wonder where we can get the gold back?"
Qi Yunxiao had an unpredictable expression on his face: "No rush, we just go to the capital of Daxia."
Chen San suddenly realized: "Build the plank road openly, but secretly visited Chencang! You are so tall! You are really tall!"
Qi Yunxiao: "..."
If you want to think so, that’s fine.
So the group of people pulled a convoy of stones and started to set off again happily.
A few days passed, and the group happily entered the capital of Daxia.
The dragon guards guarded the carriage team into the Honglu Temple Sifang Pavilion with a vigilant look on their faces. Qi Yunxiao went to the palace, and Shen Qingyu went shopping again.
But this time, Shen Qingyu only shopped but did not buy, while Chen San led another female dragon guard to follow Shen Qingyu closely.
A few people were dressed in casual clothes and slightly disguised. After entering several grain and oil shops, they confirmed that the price of grain had dropped slightly recently, and they were all relieved.
Not wanting to hit the smiling person, Shen Qingyu bought twenty or thirty kilograms of rice. After some research, she found out that there are two crops of rice grown in the south of Daxia, so the second crop of rice has just come down recently, which is the season for harvesting grain. No wonder food prices have dropped recently!
After shopping, the three of them changed their appearance again in a restaurant private room, and Qi Yunxiao also arrived.
He did not eat in the palace. After meeting with Shen Qingyu and others, he ordered some special delicacies here and feasted on them.
Chen San and the female dragon guard went out to eat at the table outside and keep watch.
While eating, the couple in the private room talked about each other's achievements in the past half day.
On Qi Yunxiao's side, the King of Daxia told him two great things.
The first thing: Guiyun Building in the capital of Daxia has been decorated as he wanted. He just waits for Qi Yunxiao to arrange for a chef to come over, and then send half of the trained waiters back, and then he will go directly
Can be opened for business.
The second thing: Because the communication was smooth before, the king of Daxia had already prepared the food in advance. He only needed Qi Yunxiao to give him gold and he could take the food away immediately.
Qi Yunxiao knew this very well: the monarch of Daxia took such initiative simply because he wanted his people to arrange for his people to enter Guiyun Tower in the capital of Daqi as soon as possible.
After all, that is the core place of Daqi.
The news there is also the most valuable.
Qi Yunxiao chuckled: "We will make a quick decision this time. The King of Daxia will come to collect the gold in the afternoon, and we will pack the grain away early tomorrow morning!"
When we come back, the staff will be in place and Guiyun Tower will be open for business.
