Chapter 257 Dare to Bet

Song Chen felt a little guilty.

"Cangji, you saw it, right? There seems to be lightning over there. We have to walk faster, otherwise it will be difficult to leave when it starts raining heavily."

If they continue to think here, Song Chen is really worried about what they will go to next. If they meet the big white tiger, then she will reveal her secret.

After Song Chen finished speaking, Cang Er nodded and continued walking forward.

However, he frowned all the way, obviously still thinking about the scene he just saw.

Let's say it was lightning. It seemed to be too close. The lightning that struck the forest couldn't scorch the trees.

But he didn't even smell the burning smell.

It wasn't lightning, he really couldn't imagine anything could be so fast!
With such doubts, Cang Er was still thinking about that white shadow until he walked down the mountain.

"Cangji, what are you doing? You're just dawdling. If we don't go back quickly, the master will be worried. It's already been like this."

Cang Liu saw him turning back frequently and couldn't help but remind him.

Cang Er suddenly realized that this time they did not come out by themselves, and Miss Song was with them. There was no need for the master to worry when they came out to perform tasks, but it was different when Miss Song was together.

Although, the master's worries seem to be unnecessary
After getting rid of all the thoughts in his head, Cangji concentrated on his way.

The white tiger followed leisurely, and now Song Chen had no chance to send it into the space again.

After going down the mountain, the road was much easier to walk, but no matter how easy it was, it still took time. The sky had completely darkened, and Song Chen estimated that it was around seven o'clock in modern times.

"How long will it take us to get back from here?"

After walking for a while, Song Chen asked the two of them.

Cang Er and Cang Liu thought about the previous journey, "If we continue to go up the mountain and take a shortcut, it will probably take another hour."

An hour is two hours.

Song Chen frowned, Cang Xiuxuan must still be waiting.

"How long will it take you to arrive the fastest?"

"Half an hour." Cang Er glanced at Song Chen, a little hesitant to say.

He said it would take an hour before, but now Song Chen asked again, and the time gap he gave was huge. He was worried that Song Chen would think he was calling her a burden.

In fact, Cang Er really thinks too much about this.

Song Chen knew in his heart that although her speed was already very fast, compared with their Qinggong skills, it was simply a slow speed.

Cang Xiuxuan cannot continue to wait like this.

"Let's do this, Cangji. You go back and inform your master that we are on our way back. Let him eat something first and make a midnight snack when I arrive."

The person who said he would cook lunch was put off by saltpeter, but later he changed it to dinner. Who knew that so much time was wasted here.

It's all reached this point.

He couldn't wait forever, he was still recovering from his injuries.

"Master, you shouldn't have eaten anything by this time."

Cangji felt that this possibility was very small.

He and Cangliu were brought out by Miss Song firstly to help and secondly to protect her. Now what does it mean for him to leave alone now? He can't do it.

Song Chen smiled when he heard what he said, "Do you want us to make a bet? 100 taels of silver!"

Cang Er was stunned and turned his eyes slightly. This was a good opportunity to make money.

"Soji."

Cang Liu saw that Cang Er seemed to have the idea of ​​​​betting, and couldn't bear to see him lose money, so he reminded him.

"Otherwise, I will go back and inform the master first, which will save the master from worrying all the time."

Cangliu believed what Song Chen said very much. He felt that the master they knew and the master Song Chen knew were not the same person at all.

Because the gap between the master when he was getting along with Miss Song and when he was in front of them was really too big.

Now since Miss Song dares to say this, then it is most likely like this.

Song Chen glanced at Cang Liu with some surprise.

Compared to Cang Yi and Cang Er, Song Chen didn't know Cang Liu very well, but he didn't expect that his thoughts were so lively.

Looking at Souji again, he was exactly the same as when he first met Souichi.

Elm head.

I don’t know how I got Cang Xiuxuan’s attention.

She felt that she was interested in Cang Liu, and she had to find a way to trick Cang Liu into coming to her side. What she lacked here was people like Cang Liu.

"Miss Song?"

Not hearing Song Chen's response, Cang Liu called out again.

Song Chen's eyes seemed to have changed when he looked at Cang Liu, which made Cang Liu's heart skip a beat.

She also woke up from her plan, "Well, okay, you go back first, and remember to tell Cang Er about your master's affairs."

Cang Er didn't expect that Song Chen would still remember this, and he felt a little embarrassed.

"Isn't Miss Song making fun of me? I didn't react at first, but now I know what Miss Song said is right."

Cang Er really didn't think that much just now, but after Cang Liu shouted, he suddenly realized that their master was no longer the master they knew in front of Song Chen.He also thought about making a bet, which was a waste of money.

He doesn't do anything to make money like Miss Song. He has saved all this money for a long time.

Song Chen smiled and said nothing.

"Then you should be careful on the road. I will go back and report to the master first."

"it is good."

Cang Liu left, Cang Er and Song Chen continued to drive at the same speed as before, and Song Chen also tried to make himself faster.

Just as Song Chen thought, Cang Liu was much faster on his own. It was faster than the half hour Cang Er said before, and he had returned to Cang Xiuxuan's Zhuangzi in about three quarters of an hour.

Cang Liu asked the housekeeper and found out that the master was just as Miss Song had guessed. He was waiting for Miss Song to come back with nothing to eat.

He hurried to Cang Xiuxuan's yard.

Cang Xiuxuan had already gotten out of bed and sat on the chair with a heavy face. His expression returned to normal only when he saw Cang Liu come back.

"master."

After Cang Liu came in, no one followed him, and Cang Xiuxuan's face sank again.

"Why are you the only one?"

Cang Liu knelt on one knee in front of Cang Xiuxuan, "If I want to return to the master, it will be a long journey. Cang Er and Miss Song are still behind. Miss Song is worried that the master will keep waiting, so she asked her subordinates to come back and tell the master first. Tell the master not to worry, eat something to fill your stomach first, and wait for her to come back to make a midnight snack."

These were Song Chen's original words, and Cang Liu basically didn't change them.

Naturally, Cang Xiuxuan could hear Song Chen's tone, and he felt less worried.

"Is the road going well?"

"Go back to Master, there is indeed saltpeter in the place Miss Song discovered. We collected some and brought them back first. Miss Song wants Master to find someone to investigate again."

After saying this, Cang Liu took out the small bottle he was carrying and handed it to Cang Xiuxuan. When he retreated, he did not forget to remove the candlelight beside him.

Cang Xiuxuan didn't open the bottle, but just put it aside.

"Pass the meal."

As soon as Cangliu heard this, he quickly went down and asked people to prepare.

Cang Xiuxuan has been sitting in this place for some time since it got dark.

According to his current physical condition, he was still not allowed to do this, but he was really worried that their trip had taken too long.

Now that Cang Liu had brought her words back, Cang Xiuxuan felt more relieved.

But to feel completely at ease, I still have to wait until she comes back.

Now he only hates that his body is not healed yet, otherwise he would have gone out to find her long ago.

Cang Liu remembered what Song Chen said, and what was sent over at this moment was some simple things that could cushion the stomach, which would allow the master to have a midnight snack after finishing the meal.

Cang Xiuxuan also remembered this sentence.

When she said midnight snack, she probably meant that she would not go back today.

After the people in the kitchen put the food on the table, Cang Xiuxuan called Cang Liu over again.

"You go to Beiguan Village and send a message, saying that she won't be going back today because of something else, so that the Song family shouldn't worry."

"Yes, master, this subordinate will go now."

Cang Liu really didn't expect this. Now that his master said this, he remembered that Miss Song hadn't gone back so late, so the Song family must be very worried.

After leaving Cang Xiuxuan's side, Cang Liu found a good horse and immediately drove to Beiguan Village.

Rushing back had already consumed a lot of energy on his part, and now he could no longer continue on the road as before, and his riding speed was still pretty good.

When they arrived at Beiguan Village, Cangliu didn't go in. He just told the concierge about the situation and then immediately turned around and hurried back.

Cang Er and Miss Song came back almost as soon as he finished his trip.

After Cang Liu went to Beiguan Village, Cang Xiu hurriedly finished his food and walked around the house before quickly going back to bed and lying down.

He was afraid that when Song Chen came back and saw him sitting there, he would be angry again.

Since he was injured this time, he felt that her attitude towards him had changed a lot. Compared to the strict attitude back then, it was much more interesting now.

Even the way she cursed looked very pretty to him.

At this moment, he could see where he was sitting before, and the small porcelain bottle Cangliu took out was still firmly placed on it.

She is his lucky star.

You must know that saltpeter is very rare now. He has been sending people to look for this thing, but there has been no news.

She never expected that she would make such a discovery just by going up the mountain.

Cang Xiuxuan had a feeling that the place with saltpeter they found should be very amazing.

Once the quantity of saltpeter is supplied, the speed of what he is doing in other places will be much faster.

Go to the capital.
The news of his injury this time should have been known to Shangjing.

The old eunuch is the best proof. After she went up the mountain during the day, Cang Yi had already told him the whole thing clearly. The people in Shangjing probably didn't know the news that the old eunuch was dead.

Otherwise it would be impossible to be as peaceful as now.
