Chapter 268 What's Lacked Is Time

One afternoon two months later, Chu Zeming, Feng Yizheng and Sun Yu finally arrived at Liuzhou Mansion and stepped into the gate of Liu Mansion.

Little Sixteen and Little Seventeen, who were playing in the yard, saw the three people who looked exhausted and immediately cheered and greeted them: "Brother Ming, Brother Zhen, Brother Yu, you are back?!"

Meixiang, who was discussing something with Doctor Wang in the main courtyard, heard the voices of the two little boys. She immediately looked up in surprise and saw three young men standing in the sunset and looking at her with smiles.

"You're finally here. You must have had a hard journey. Aunt Li has already cleaned up the house. Go wash up, change clothes and take a rest." Meixiang said with a smile. The three of them had worked really hard during this period of time. Not only did they sort out most of the caravan's itinerary, but they also contacted a lot of business.

Seeing the caravans coming back with a lot of money, Master Ou couldn't stop smiling. In the early spring, there were still many places to spend money, thanks to this caravan.

The three of them looked at Meixiang, who was one year older and more graceful, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes at the same time. Now, except for Sun Shao, Chu Zeming and Feng Yizheng have gradually let themselves put away their little thoughts. Although it is difficult, they have to bow their heads due to the situation.

"Then let's go wash up first. By the way, there are gifts and some food for everyone in the carriage. Ask Meiying to arrange for someone to pack them up." Feng Yizhen smiled back, then turned around and greeted Doctor Wang who was sitting opposite Meixiang: "Sir, Happy New Year. You seem to be in better spirits."

"Hahaha, you're the only one who can talk. Alright, hurry up and wash up and take a rest, because dinner will be served soon."

Doctor Wang also looked at the three young men with dusty faces, and secretly sighed at the good luck of the Haoyue Dynasty. Under the leadership of Meixiang, and with the assistance of these young people, starting from Liuzhou Prefecture, the economic development was radiating to other prefectures at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After receiving the news, everyone in Liu's residence dealt with the matters at hand as quickly as possible and rushed back to Liu's residence before dinner. Situ Yidong and Feng Yishuang also rushed back from the military camp.

After the Spring Festival, the military camp of Liuzhou Prefecture strengthened the intensity and scope of daily training and patrols. After Bailang recovered from his injury, under the leadership of Bailang and Fat Tiger, Situ Yidong took people to the place where the conflict occurred at that time, but found nothing except some bloodstains on the ground.

Because of this, this matter became a thorn in Meixiang's heart, making her uneasy all the time. Haoyue, who had just regained some vitality, could not withstand another war.

What she needs most now is time, and what she lacks most is also time. In the era of cold weapons, a war requires the whole country to deal with it, which consumes not only financial resources but also lives. So she needs to do her best to ensure this.

If there had to be a battle in the future, she hoped to use the smallest price to exchange for Haoyue's victory. This was also the reason why she immediately formed a caravan to try it after discovering that the medicinal materials in Liuzhou Prefecture were particularly popular. Apparently she was lucky.

Looking at the white wolf that followed Fat Tiger in, his body was still a little thin, but the look in his eyes showed Fat Tiger's true nature, no longer pretending to be a dog.

"Is this the white wolf?" Chu Zeming asked, looking at the white wolf squatting beside Meixiang.

Meixiang turned her head to look at the white wolf, and while reaching out to stroke its head, she replied, "Well, it was not easy to snatch its life from the hands of the god of death. After its wounds healed, it refused to leave the Liu Mansion, and has been staying in the mansion most of the time recently."

"The man who injured Tai was too ruthless. Judging from the knife wound and the extent of the injury, it looks like he was injured by someone who has received special training. Brother Situ Shi also went to investigate this matter. The shape of the wound looks like it was caused by someone who has received special training."

Chu Zeming and the other two looked at Situ Yidong who was sitting next to Meixiang in surprise. Facing their gazes, Situ Yidong nodded and said, "I specifically went to the soldiers in the barracks who had fought with them to confirm that they were indeed from the Hidden Country. Unfortunately, no more evidence was found at the scene of the fight."

"I don't know whether they accidentally entered the mountains and encountered the white wolf, or they came here to explore the way with a purpose," Situ Yidun added.

The three people's faces changed immediately after hearing this. Although they had some guesses in their hearts, hearing it confirmed with their own ears was a completely different feeling. Could it be that someone was really going to provoke a war again?

"Sister Xiang'er, after receiving Situ's letter, my grandfather and father specially did a divination for this." Chu Zeming pondered for a moment and spoke.

His words also successfully attracted everyone's attention, and they all turned their eyes to him. The Chu family's divination skills were unique, and in major events, Haoyue relied on the Chu family to some extent.

"What does the hexagram say?" Situ Yidong asked anxiously. During this period of time, he deeply felt the anxiety hidden in Meixiang's heart, so he temporarily restrained his plan to continue to cultivate feelings with Meixiang. He went out early and came back late every day and plunged into the military camp. He must help Meixiang guard Liuzhou Prefecture.

"Well," Chu Zeming thought about the wording for a moment. Every industry has its own rules. Although they can get a glimpse of the secrets in advance through divination, they dare not be too arrogant and reveal too much, otherwise the backlash will be beyond their ability to withstand. "There should be no major changes in the past two years."

The unfinished words mean that there might be a big change in two years? Then they only have two years to prepare.

"Well, two years?" Meixiang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. This result was much better than she expected. "Two years is not too long, but it's not too short either. If we make good use of it, we can do a lot of preparations in advance."

That's right. It's much better to have an approximate time than to keep guessing in your mind all day.

Meixiang glanced at the tired guy and said with a smile, "It's getting late today. Brother Chu and the other two have been traveling for more than two months and are very tired. Let's rest early today and think about what preparations we need to make in advance. We will discuss it tomorrow night."

"Now you can sleep well, right? Don't think too much. Some things are not something you can decide alone. Look how much weight you have lost recently?" Seeing everyone leaving the main room one after another, Situ Yidong, who was the last to dawdle, looked at Meixiang with a distressed face and said.

Lifting her head and touching her cheek, Meixiang replied speechlessly, "It's not as exaggerated as you say. Aunt Chen and Aunt Li make delicious food in different ways every day. How can I be thin? I'm obviously fat, okay?"

After carefully looking at Meixiang from head to toe, Situ Yidong was still not satisfied, "How can she be fat? She is obviously as thin as a bean sprout."

"How can you talk like that? Bean sprouts? Would you be satisfied only if you were as fat as Aunt Wang at the north end of the village?" Meixiang shouted in a low voice.

Before the words fell, both of them had the image of Aunt Wang's face as round as a full moon, her waist as thick as a bucket, and especially her loud voice scolding Uncle Wang, which could be heard by half of the people in Liujia Village. Thinking of this, Meixiang couldn't help laughing.

"Look, you look better when you smile. Sister Xiang'er, you should smile more in the future." Staring at Meixiang's smiling face, Situ Yidun couldn't help but smile. This was the first time in nearly two months that Meixiang smiled so happily.

I wonder if it was because the news Chu Zeming just revealed put her at ease? Or was it because the return of the three of them gave her a greater sense of security?

Although she is just a little girl who is just over ten years old, she has to bear greater responsibilities than adults. Situ Yidong tilted his head slightly and looked at Meixiang's pretty face which was half bright and half dark in the moonlight. He felt an inexplicable sourness in his heart. The more he understood her, the more he found himself attracted to her and fell in love with her involuntarily.

"Sister Xiang'er, you don't have to feel too much psychological pressure. You are not alone, you still have me." Situ Yidun murmured to himself softly.

I don’t know if Meixiang heard this, but she slept especially soundly tonight.
