Chapter 295

"Have you ever seen a black stone? It's like ink."

Hearing that something suddenly flashed through Qi Jingyu's mind, it's a pity that he didn't catch it too quickly.

"I should have an impression, but I can't remember it for a while."

"It doesn't matter, think about it slowly, we don't worry anyway, we still have gunpowder in hand, although it is a bit cumbersome to use, the effect is not bad."

An Beibei said with a playful smile.

"Well, I'll find coal soon."

After discussing the issue of coal, An Beibei felt lost again when she thought that she would be separated tomorrow.

"Aren't you going to deliver ice tomorrow morning again?"

"Correct."

"Then come back quickly after delivering the ice, and don't go looking for coal. In the past few days since you came back, you have been going out early and returning late every day, and you haven't rested at all."

Qi Jingyu's heart warmed, and he replied, "Okay. By the way, that thresher, after Uncle Bao is ready, I have to take it to the camp the day after tomorrow, and let him make another one and send it home."

"Are you taking the camp directly? Are you going to sell it to Wei Yin?"

An Beibei raised his eyes to look at him, and then asked worriedly: "Will he use his power to overwhelm others, let you give it away for nothing, or even ask you to give it away?"

"Will not."

Qi Jingyu said firmly: "Not to mention that when I carry this thing to the camp the day after tomorrow, everyone will see that he is not that capable and can stop everyone's talk, and recently a nobleman from Kyoto came to our Kailing Jun, at this time, no one dares to take a wrong step."

After finishing speaking, he pondered for a while and then said: "However, this thing is good for a good harvest, and the practice has to be handed over sooner or later. Therefore, I plan to hand it over to the nobleman directly through Wei Yin."

In fact, even if you don't hand it in, it won't take long for others to learn to do it.

After all, this thing is not as complicated as the sleeve crossbow. An experienced carpenter only needs to take it apart and take a look.

"Ah? Wouldn't that be too risky? What if the nobleman is not easy to get along with?"

An Beibei asked nervously.

A cold light flashed in Qi Jingyu's eyes, "Then let him stay in Kailing County forever!"

Amber was stunned.

This was the first time she saw something like murderous intent in Qi Jingyu's eyes.

Qi Jingyu secretly regretted that he shouldn't be like this in front of her, he smiled and rubbed her cheek and said softly: "Okay, you don't have to worry about these, I have everything."

"Well, with you here, I'm not afraid of anything."

An Beibei looked up at him and smiled sweetly.

Qi Jingyu raised his eyebrows slightly, and said teasingly, "Really? Then why don't we hold it higher."

"Hate!"

An Beibei raised her small fist and punched him in the chest.

That innocuous strength tickled Qi Jingyu's heart.

He hugged her into his arms with a low smile, the laughter echoed in his chest, and the ups and downs made An Beibei's little heart jump around.

A good night's sleep.

After waking up, An Beibei was obviously used to the morning when she was lost again.

"Second Aunt, Second Aunt, look, Huo'er can fly very high and far!"

As soon as she went out, Jiaxuan said to her excitedly.

An Beibei looked up, and sure enough, she saw that Huo'er had already flown up a branch, chirping as if showing off to her.

Yoho, the little guy is still chattering.

An Beibei put her hips on her hips, pointed to the ground and said, "Come down."

Huo'er's small round eyes rolled around, and he fluttered against the branch a few times, but did not move.

"Come down."

An Beibei hooked her fingers again, narrowing her eyes slightly, becoming a little dangerous.

The little guy seemed to sense her emotions, and flew down without hesitation and landed on the ground, looking up at her, pacing and chirping to please her.

"Second Aunt, Huo'er can actually understand what you say?"

Mingyou, who has always been calm and mature, is not calm anymore.

Jiaxuan said dissatisfied: "Huo'er listens to me too! Huo'er, let's go, let's find Chong Chong to eat."

Unmoved, Huo'er looked at An Beibei eagerly.

An Beibei raised her eyebrows and spread out her palms, "Come up."

Huo'er spread out her small wings and landed gently on her palm.

Sure enough.

This little guy can really understand her words!

An Beibei was overjoyed, she was still melancholy just now when Erlang left tomorrow, and he would not see him for half a month, at this moment a thought suddenly occurred to her, if Huoer didn't leave, she could be their messenger!

"Brother, Huo'er only pays attention to the second aunt, and ignores me, woo woo..."

Just when An Beibei was thinking that she would be able to communicate with Qi Jingyu at any time in the future and would no longer have to endure the pain of lovesickness, Jiaxuan suddenly burst into tears with a 'wow', which shocked her greatly.

"Jiaxuan don't cry, don't cry, be good, Huo'er just wants to play with you, look—"

An Beibei hurriedly handed the fire in her palm to Jiaxuan, the little guy gently pecked at Jiaxuan's floral dress with her beak, and the little girl burst into laughter immediately.

An Beibei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The county seat, the backyard of Jinxiufang.

"Qi Baichang, thank you very much, here is 750 taels, please accept it."

Shopkeeper Jin handed out the money bag that had been prepared and handed it to Qi Jingyu.

"Treasurer Jin is polite. Although Treasurer Jin looks a little tired, his complexion is very good. It can be seen that the trip to the county city went smoothly."

Shopkeeper Jin laughed loudly and said, "Haha, it's all thanks to Tuo Qibaichang. If you hadn't provided ice cubes in time, how could I have been praised or even rewarded by the master?"

"It's just a business, you can't be favored by Treasurer Jin."

Qi Jingyu picked up his teacup and took a sip, then asked casually, "I don't know if Shopkeeper Jin is offering ice this time, but can you be summoned by a nobleman?"

"Qi Baichang was joking, with our status, how can we easily meet noble people? Qi Baichang doesn't know yet, the noble person who came to our Kailing County this time is the third prince."

Shopkeeper Jin smiled and waved his hands.

Qi Jingyu frowned, "Third prince? How could the third prince come here?"

"I heard that the decree is to let the adult prince go on tour on his behalf. Not only the third prince, but several other adult princes have also been sent to various places to go on tour on behalf of the emperor."

This matter has been spread among the high-ranking families in the county city, and it is not a secret.

Qi Jingyu frowned even more when he heard this.

He is very suspicious today, especially after the seventh prince's rebellion.

Well, how could all the princes be sent out, and they were still sent to the border?

Such an unusual move, the reason behind it, I'm afraid I have to inquire about it.

Otherwise, if she got on the third prince's boat by mistake, it would be hard to guarantee that she would not end up in the same fate as the head of the Qi family was overthrown.

"Since the prince is going on tour, there must be many accompanying people, and I don't know how long they will stay. Is the ice sent enough?"

Shopkeeper Jin shook his head, "I don't know about this, but it seems that time will not be short."

"The sheriff is busy."

Qi Jingyu smiled lightly.

"It's not a big deal. You said that in our borderlands, how can we compare with Kyoto in terms of food and use?"

Shopkeeper Jin sighed and said, "It's just a piece of ice, which has already caused the sheriff a headache. Fortunately, it's solved now, but why don't you worry about other basic necessities?"
