    ?

    There were no disturbances along the way, and after 15 days, we arrived at the Lion City on the northern border of Li Kingdom without any danger.

    The Lion City and the Mongolian border Kanedan are separated by plains and several mountains. It is located in the north, and the climate is relatively dry and cold.

    After arriving in Lion City at noon, they did not continue on, but stopped the carriage and stayed at the largest inn in Lion City.

    "Panlu Mountain is also known as Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The snow in the mountain is hard to melt all the year round. It is already autumn. When we climb the border mountains and enter Mongolia, it will be dark, and the time is not suitable for moving forward." Rong Shaoyang said.  Chu Yao said: "We will set off early tomorrow morning."

    Chu Yao said that he didn't care about his arrangement, anyway, Rong Shaoyang should be more anxious than her to find the treasure, so he can decide whenever he wants.

    "Stop, thief!"

    There was a shout from behind, and then the plate fell to the ground with a thud. Chu Yao turned around and saw a middle-aged man catching a child who was dodging around.

    The child was nimble and moved around between the tables and chairs. The middle-aged man was forced to turn around. I saw him blushing and furious, stabbing the sword casually. The child was obviously frightened and ran around.  hide.

    Before Chuyao regained consciousness and dodged away, the child had already bumped into her head, and the middle-aged man raised his sword and stabbed at her, Chuyao was horrified.

    At this time, there was only a sound of 'ding', the sword in the man's hand fell to the ground, and the man rolled on the ground with his arms folded.

    Chuyao looked back at Rong Shaoyang, his face was indifferent, he didn't move at all, as if he was staying out of the matter.

    ?The crowd who watched the excitement dispersed, and the boss was heartbroken over his tables, chairs and dishes, and dragged the middle-aged man to claim compensation. No one had forgotten the little boy just now.

    The boy smiled mischievously at Chuyao, turned to leave, Rong Shao raised his body and grabbed his nape, saying: "It's not kind to do this, she was almost injured because of you, and you took her purse by the hand.  "

    Chu Yao heard the words, and then noticed that the money bag in his sleeve was missing.

    The little boy turned around with a sad face, took out the money bag and handed it to Rong Shaoyang, and said pitifully: "Brother, I was wrong, don't dare to do it next time, don't send me out of the government."

    Chuyao took the purse, and Rong Shaoyang put him down. They can't cause trouble in Lion City, so as not to expose their whereabouts.

    As soon as he was put down, the little boy ran out of the inn in a flash.

    Chuyao and the others sat down and continued eating.

    Lion City is a place where there are more traders between Li and Mongolia. This small chant passed in a while, and several merchants were discussing that there are many more traders from other countries in the territory of Li.  Since Wen Guo announced the treasure hunting and recruiting relatives, various forces have secretly come to Li State, because it is Li State's treasure, they naturally deduce that the thing is in Li State.

    "This is obviously the treasure of the Li Kingdom, so why does Emperor Feng encourage people to look for it and use the treasure as a hire, I'm sorry!"

    The people of Li State must be opposed to this matter. Li State was attacked by Mongolian State more than ten years ago. Since then, Li State businessmen have always been at a disadvantage in the business travel trade between Li State and Mongolian State.  Full of complaints, now that even a woman from Wenguo dares to bully them, how can they feel comfortable.

    Chuyao glanced at Rong Shaoyang, only to see that his expression remained unchanged.  Now that so many people are looking for the treasure in Li country with a fake map, this is both good and bad for Rong Shaoyang. Others think that the treasure is in Li country, so naturally they will not go to Mongolia to look for it.  But with so many forces entering the territory of Li State, Li State trained new soldiers, and the matter of rectifying the court situation might leak out, making Mongolian State vigilant when it received the news.

    Rong Shaoyang can still calm down now, Chuyao has to admire him, with his mental strategy, as long as he finds treasures and enriches his armaments, it is not impossible for the Li country to counterattack the Mongolian country.

    After dinner, when he went back to his room to wash up and prepare to rest, Chuyao discovered that his purse was filled with a few gravels. The boy had already turned into a thief at some point, and he seemed to be a habit of stealing.

    Chu Yao smiled helplessly, and poured the stone out of the purse.

    After a while, Bitong knocked on Chuyao's door.

    Generally, except for Rong Shaoyang's orders, Bi Tong basically wouldn't talk to her, let alone come to her on her own initiative.  Chuyao didn't know that in her eyes, she was a troublesome woman, and sooner or later she would harm Rong Shaoyang.

    Bi Tong stretched out his hand, dropped a few ingots of silver, and said coldly: "It was brought back from that boy."

    Chu Yao was slightly startled, even Rong Shaoyang didn't find out that he was stolen, how did Bi Tong get it back from that boy?  Is it because of this that she got up and left in the middle of the meal?

    "Thank you." Bi Tong's attitude towards her has always been bad, why she helped her recover the money really puzzled her.

    Bitong didn't finish the moneyLeaving, staring at Chuyao for a while, he suddenly said, "Miss Song, can you listen to me?"

    "Please tell me." Chuyao wondered if Bitong would have something to say to her.

    "Miss Song should know that the young master is talented and capable of great things. He can't be fettered by anything." Bi Tong's voice softened.

    Chuyao heard her words as a nod. What she meant was that she would tie him down, and she thought too highly of her.

    "Miss Bitong, don't worry, Rong Shaoyang can't be restrained by anyone, you don't worry too much." It's not Chuyao who is self-deprecating, Rong Shaoyang's heart is more ruthless and cold than anyone else, how could he be trapped by someone  A woman is fettered, and this woman is still her.

    "Bi Tong said this to Miss Song in the hope that Miss Song can understand the situation, and she will be hurt too deeply in the future."

    "I think you really misunderstood. First, I won't fetter Rong Shaoyang, and second, I can't be hurt by Rong Shaoyang. There is nothing between him and me except a transaction." Chu Yao didn't agree.  Knowing why she had such an illusion, there was nothing between her and Rong Shaoyang except a deal.

    After the treasure is found this time, maybe they will have nothing to do with each other.

    "Hope is really just a deal." Bitong took a deep look at Chuyao, turned and left.

    Chuyao closed the door and sighed softly.  She can't stop Bi Tong from thinking, so let her go, she doesn't need to explain anything.

    Just before I closed my eyes and fell asleep, I heard a sound outside the door.  Chuyao suddenly remembered the flower picker at the Yongzhou Inn. He held his breath and woke up, quietly got up, took a wooden stick and hid behind the door.

    The door creaked and was gently pushed open. Just as Chuyao was about to knock on it, he found that the 'flower picker' was as tall as an eight-year-old child. He paused his hands. By the moonlight, he could see the appearance of the little boy during the day.  .

    Chu Yao grabbed the boy by the collar, "You want to steal again?"

    Seeing that it was the woman in the daytime, the boy immediately put on a pitiful look, sobbing: "Sister, I won't dare next time, please let me go."

    "Do you think I will trust you again?"

    "Sister, don't send me to the government, my mother is still waiting to buy medicine for treatment." The boy suddenly knelt down on the ground and hugged Chuyao's thigh.

    ? Chuyao was taken aback when she heard the words, thinking that when she was a child, she begged for a medicine for her mother, begged everywhere, endured all kinds of hardships, and saw all the warmth and coldness of people.

    "Stand up first." Chu Yao pulled the boy up.

    "Sister" The boy looked at her with wet eyes, and suddenly, taking advantage of Chuyao's unpreparedness, he pushed her away forcefully, and Chuyao accidentally slammed into the corner of the table behind him.

    The boy ran out with all his heart, but unexpectedly bumped into Rong Shaoyang, he turned around in fright, Rong Shaoyang had already moved in front of him, and said: "It seems that I made a mistake in letting you go during the day."

    Seeing that the situation was not right, the boy immediately changed his face, and put on a cute and pitiful look again, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Brother, sister, I don't dare anymore, I really don't dare anymore, if it wasn't because my mother was seriously ill,  I won't come out to steal money, I really don't dare anymore, I can't go to jail, mother still needs my care."

    Rong Shaoyang helped Chuyao get up, and said, "How is it? Where is the injury?"

    Chuyao frowned, and felt a sharp pain when her waist straightened up. She shook her head and said bravely, "It's okay."

    "Sister, let me go this time, I know I was wrong" The boy must think that Chuyao is a soft persimmon, and it is easier to beg her, but he made the wrong idea this time.

    "It's okay to let you go, but I want to see what's wrong with your mother. If you find out that you lied to me, you will be sent to the police this time. The crime of stealing and wounding is enough for you to stay in prison for a while." Chu Yao  Scared him.

    "No, no, I'm telling the truth, I don't have a mother, I'm just a vagrant, please don't send me to the government." The boy changed his pitiful look just now, and kowtowed hard to beg for mercy.

    Chuyao didn't think about sending him to prison, not to mention he was fine, seeing that his forehead was bruised, he said: "Get up, let's go."

    "Thank you sister, thank you sister." The boy got up and left quickly.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
