into the night.

In Furong City, a group of people came. The other party claimed that they were passing through this place on business and stopped for a short time.

The host family is a man and a woman, and the people accompanying him are all masters. They stay in the inn next to Ling Feng.

Many foreigners have come to Furong City in the past two days. Every household closes its doors tightly at night, never leaving or taking a step forward.

It is said that that group of people sneaked into Lingfeng Casino late at night and turned the casino upside down, as if they were looking for something.

In the inn, Wei Xin knelt on the ground and whispered: "Sir, nothing was found in the casino. There were only a few thugs hired to watch the casino. After being tortured, they only said that the three of them were there during the day. So he left Furong City secretly, and I don’t know where he went or who his last name was.”

Concubine Shu was sitting on the side with a slightly gloomy face and said nothing.

Emperor Qingling frowned: "Let's drive back to Beijing."

Concubine Shu looked at him but said nothing.

After Wei Xin left, Concubine Shu said: "Your Majesty, I would like to... stay outside the palace."

As soon as these words came out, she lowered her eyes.

She received strict education from the prime minister since she was a child, and knew that concubines were not allowed to stay outside the palace, and that the royal bloodline was not allowed to be mistaken. She was in Bo, and Bo Qing Emperor Ling showed a trace of kindness and exception to her.

When Emperor Qingling heard this, his breath stagnated and he stared at Concubine Shu for a long time, but she never raised her head.

After a long time, he spoke and said solemnly: "If I say that you can only choose one between me and Ying'an, what should you do?"

Concubine Shu raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes full of friendship.

Tears filled her eyes: "Your Majesty, I can't leave Ying'an behind. She is my child, and you are my husband. I..."

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Qingling opened his lips and said with a hint of anger in his voice: "You are still Concubine Shu of Daling."

Concubine Shu lowered her eyes. After a long time, she raised her eyes and said, "I will go back with you, but Your Majesty, you must promise me something."

Emperor Qingling raised his hand and touched Concubine Shu's head, and followed her words and said, "You say, as long as it does not harm Daling's interests, I will agree to it."

"No matter what, you must promise my concubine that no matter what kind of things Ying'an does, you must protect her in peace in her life. She must not marry far away and travel east to become a bargaining chip for the kings to compete for the throne of the emperor."

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the room.

When they learned that Dongdu was the queen who proclaimed herself king, the government and the public were shocked. Countries surrounding Dongdu listed Dongdu as the first target to capture, but they were unable to capture it. The countries were unwilling to cooperate, causing their own interests to be divided. So much so that to this day, all countries are still standing on top of each other, and the situation is somewhat like that of the world.

She knows that she may not die soon. Although her destiny may change, she must take precautions before it happens.

In the deep palace, she had no choice but to place all her hopes on this man.

Emperor Qingling looked at her and said solemnly: "She is my child, and I will definitely protect her. But Concubine Shu, if you cannot survive in this world, even if I am here, she will be walking on thin ice in the harem."

His eyes were so deep that one dared not look directly into them.

Concubine Shu lowered her eyes and avoided his eyes.

The hot eyes that refused to let her go made her fearful and uneasy.

It was as if he had seen through all her disguises and inner world.

He was telling her that if she died, even if he was the emperor, he would not be able to protect Ying'an safely.

If this is the case, then Ying'an must be facing a very cruel world.

Emperor Qingling took her into his arms and comforted her warmly. After half a cup of tea, he stood up and said slowly, "Let's go back to the palace." Concubine Shu's eyes were quite reluctant to leave, but she had no other choice but to go back with her.

Outside Furong City, on the top of the mountain.

The Fourteenth Master watched helplessly as a group of people brought by Emperor Qing Ling returned to the capital, and then he turned around with relief and said, "Let's go to the east. Jiang Taifu will definitely gain something from this trip. If we go to the east to attack Daling, you The three of us can take precautions and take precautions before they happen."

But the big one and the small one behind him had already fallen asleep.

Zong Yaozhi held Ying'an in his arms and slept soundly.

Little Ying'an opened her mouth with a smile on her lips, murmuring in her sleep.

He leaned over and looked at her sleeping face, smiled, and said in a low voice: "By protecting you, I have fulfilled the kindness of Concubine Shu to save me that day. It is better to not owe anything to each other than to hold a grudge against her."

In order to rush to Dongdu as soon as possible, the Fourteenth Master woke Zong Yaozhi up and traveled all night.

Two days later.

The three of them set foot on the land of eastward crossing.

Zong Yaozhi walked along the exotic streets with little Ying'an in his arms, stopping curiously for fear of missing something weird.

The Fourteenth Master first went to the local government to inquire about information, collecting intelligence and the latest situation of the past two days of crossing eastward.

Little Ying'an hugged Zong Yaozhi's neck with a sweet voice and said, "Uncle, stop playing. Our mission is to find a store suitable for opening a casino."

Zong Yaozhi was exposed, he coughed dryly and began to show respect.

"The first step in looking for business opportunities should be to understand the local customs. Xiao Ying'an, it's not what my uncle said to you. You have only been in this world for a few days. How can you know the routines and conditions of this world? It's better to listen to me. See more, listen more and ask more.”

Xiao Yingan rolled her eyes and pursed her lips in protest.

But after all, she was being held in someone's arms and couldn't resist. She could only let Zong Yaozhi take her through the streets and join in the fun.

Someone was performing acrobatics, and Zong Yaozhi watched it more enthusiastically than anyone else. He was so moved that he rewarded him with a few cents.

Some people were performing tricks, but Zong Yaozhi still joined in the fun.

Some people begged for money to bury their father and mother, but he still enthusiastically gave all his belongings to him, crying with snot and tears, as if his father had died.

Xiao Ying'an silently wiped his tears in his arms. Just as the two were about to leave, they were pulled by the woman.

Xiao Yingxin felt bad.

They came here to travel in secret. If they were discovered or detained here, it would probably interfere with their plans.

The woman knelt down with a plop, grabbed the corner of Zong Yaozhi's clothes, and cried heartbrokenly.

"Young Master, the young lady is helpless and penniless. Such a generous reward from the young master really makes it hard for the young lady to sleep and eat well. The young lady's name is Lian'er. If the young master doesn't mind it, would you like to let the young lady go with you, even if you are with me? The little girl is willing to work as a cow and a horse around her. The little girl does not seek wealth and honor in this life, she just wants to stay with the young master."

Lian'er was wearing a tattered coarse cloth mourning clothes, her voice was light, and her eyes were sincere and shining.

It was as if her life had been ruined and she finally caught a glimpse of the sun and wanted to desperately seize this chance of survival.

Zong Yaozhi was so flustered that he quickly put down Xiao Ying'an and raised his hand to help Lian'er up.

"I came here by chance. I am a foreigner. I don't know anything, I don't want to care about anything, and I have no ability to interfere in your life. You can only treat this money as brought by the strong wind. If it can help you, it can be considered as theirs." It's used in the right way. As for letting you go with me, you just saw it. I have a daughter. She..."
