ting his body beneath hers. She thought that if she took the impact this way, perhaps Qing Luo wouldn't hurt so much.In her past life, everyone around her betrayed her, but Qing Luo was the only excep..."No." Qian Tingxuan refused without hesitation.
"I'm going!"
"There must be someone guarding the outskirts of Shanghai. Listen to me and stay here patiently for me."
"You left me alone there, I was scared..." Xiao Yuge saw that he wouldn't budge, so she tried being soft. She didn't believe he wouldn't be swayed by both tough and gentle approaches.
"I've got Mingyang to watch over you. Be good, I'll be back soon."
"No, I just want to be with you. I don't want to be apart for a single moment." Her innocent eyes were filled with expectation, and she spoke her love without blushing or stammering.
"Then you have to stay behind me and don't run around!" Unable to resist her pleading look, Qian Tingxuan could only agree, thinking to himself, with his own skill, he would definitely be able to protect her.
"Mhm, I promise." Mission accomplished, instant transformation into a little angel.
Qianting Xuan secretly shook her head helplessly. There was no way she would obey willingly.
At night, after putting on their night clothes, the two quietly left the hut. Of course, they let Mingyang sleep in the room, talking to himself alone, just as if the two of them were speaking inside, confusing those outside who were watching them.
The two made their way smoothly to their salt-pan, and after a careful inspection, found nothing amiss. They then went to the seashore where salt was harvested. The waves lapping against the shore sounded as normal as ever.
Just as they were about to leave in disappointment, a commotion suddenly came from behind the rocks. Xiao Yu Ge and Qian Ting Xuan exchanged glances in the darkness, and Qian Ting Xuan pulled her toward that direction and hid.
Qiang Tingxuan's light gong was extremely high, and even with Xiao Yuge by his side, he didn't make a single sound. When they arrived on the rock, they instinctively looked down, and it was none other than Supervisor Liu Lian and Salt Officer Zhang Qian!
"Didn't you say that if I helped you and you became the salt commissioner, I could take your place Why is it that today, the transport officer said the imperial court would send another salt commissioner You got what you wished for, but what about me I risked being skinned alive by the people of both villages to help you. How can you break your promise" His tone sounded quite angry and frustrated.
Just then, Qian Da replied: “Don’t worry, the person hasn’t arrived yet. Besides, the Imperial Envoy is the full representative of the current Emperor. I am just a small salt commissioner, what can I do”
"I don't care, anyway, I did so much for you, even my uncle betrayed me, you have to compensate me! Otherwise, I'll expose everything you've done." Liu was still very angry because he seemed to realize that he had been used by Zhang Qian all along.
"Show off Humph! Things aren't even settled yet, and you're getting ahead of yourself. Don't forget, those things were all done by you. If Elder Liu found out that his beloved nephew had actually harmed his own granddaughter, see if he wouldn't skin you alive!" Zhang Qian seemed fearless.
"I..." Li Lian was indeed refuted.
"Liu Lian, I'm telling you, we are like grasshoppers on a string right now. If I get into trouble, you can't live either. If it weren't for the brotherhood we've shared for years, I would tell our master everything you said tonight, word for word. You should know the consequences!"
"It was you who killed Ke Dengjiu!" Liu Lian cried out in alarm.
"Deng Jiunou is clueless and deserves his death! But if you hadn't been so incompetent, failing to achieve success but excelling in failure, he almost ruined my master's plans, he wouldn't have died."
"I..."
"Liu Lian, now is not the time to talk about this. What matters most now is how to get those things out of here safely. You're the foreman, you have to find some reliable people to move the things as soon as possible and ease the master's worries. Also, the master ordered that anyone who knows about this plan must not be allowed to live. So, when the time comes, make sure you do a clean job and don't always leave me to clean up after you."
"These days everyone is watching closely, I can't get anything out there..."
Zhang Qian narrowed her black eyes, staring intently at Liu Lian and asked, "Liu Lian, do you still not trust me Tell me where you hid the salt, and I'll make arrangements."
"The place is quite secluded, the fewer people who know about it, the safer it'll be. I'll naturally tell you when the time comes!" Liu Lian seemed to be very cautious.
Zhang Qian let out a cold snort: "Liu Lian, you better not play tricks. I warn you, if this goes wrong, my master won't spare me, and he certainly won't spare you either!"
"Don't worry, I'll find a way to get the salt to you!" Liu Lian kept his lips sealed tight, not letting a word slip.
Xiao Yuge and Qian Tingxuan looked at each other, seeming to understand. Deng Jiu's death was related to them, and the hundred stones of salt should still be in the village. But where did they hide them
Two people were just about to leave, but accidentally bumped into a small stone!
"Who!"
Zhang Qian and Liu Lian quickly ran up, circled the area, but saw nothing.
"How could there be stones falling down" Zhang Qian felt a bad premonition in her heart.
Liu Lian glanced over and didn't seem to care much: "Perhaps it's the sea breeze, rocks here are easy to fall off." As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind came, blowing down a small stone!
"See, I told you it was the wind." Liu Lian became even more convinced of her own idea.
Zhang Qian no longer doubted: "Alright, let's go. Remember, we have to get things done these few days, or the master will really be angry, and then we'll be in trouble."
"Got it."
Until the two figures disappeared on the beach, Qian Tingxuan held Xiao Yuge and jumped out from the side!
原來，他們剛纔就在附近的峭壁上躲著，而且背對著月光，所以張千他們根本發現不了他們。
"Let's go." Qian Tingxuan turned his head back and discovered that the little guy beside him had vanished at some point. He was anxious and quickly searched around, knowing full well this little thing could never be so obedient.
Xiao Yu Ge took advantage of Qian Ting Xuan's inattention and quietly hid to the side. During the day, she always felt that place was strange. Since she had come, she wanted to go and see for herself.
Just as she was about to go, Qian Tingxuan had already arrived beside her and grabbed her hand: "Xiaoge'er, where are you going"
"I want to go take a look there." Xiao Yuge pointed at the area behind the stone, as if something was there.
"There's someone patrolling over there, you can't go!" Qian Tingxuan was afraid she might have an accident, so he hugged her and jumped over the woods with ease. He quickly returned to the house.
"Grandpa!"
Seeing them safely return, Mingyang let out a silent sigh of relief.
"Is anyone there" Qian Tingxuan glanced outside.
"Still here, would you like me to..." Mingyang made a dismissive gesture.d following me today. I know what I want to know, and I won't allow you to be evasive. What's the matter""Your Highness, please calm down!" Ling Tian hurriedly knelt down: "According to the informati...
