The Time Traveling Prince Consort Plans to Rule the World for Me

"Friend? Is this the price you pay for buying food for me?"

When Mu Jin asked Su Yi what the conditions were for helping her buy grain, she didn't expect Su Yi's answer to be that Mu Jin should treat him as a friend. She even doubted if she had heard it wrong.

"Ajin, you heard it right. I hope to become your friend. After all, friends help each other."

"But King Yi is not short of friends. How can a woman like me be his friend?"

"I am not short of friends, but I am short of friends like Ah Jin. And who told you that women cannot be my friends?"

"Doesn't the book say that men and women shouldn't touch each other?"

"What about buying food~" Su Yi said in a long tone.

"It must be nonsense in the book." Mu Jin said immediately, afraid that it was too late and Su Yi really didn't intend to help her buy grain.

Su Yi said with a grin, "Ajin, you have agreed to be friends with me."

Mu Jin glanced at Su Yi and reviewed the time she had known Su Yi. Apart from the unpleasantness of their first meeting, she had to admit that, apart from the fact that Su Yi was a bit bad-mouthed and his surname was Su, he had never harmed her.

Moreover, whether Su Yi was providing disaster relief or helping to capture assassins during this period, he had no ill will towards her or the General's Mansion. If he could help her father purchase food this time, she could let go of this personal grudge.

Su Yi couldn't help but laugh when he saw Mu Jin frowning, looking troubled and relieved at the same time.

Su Yi's smile awakened Mu Jin's meditation. She glanced at Su Yi's sly smile, then turned back to stare at the bowl of bird's nest porridge that Su Yi served her. She nodded resignedly and said, "Hmm~"

Su Yi smiled and said, "Then how do you plan to treat our pure friendship in the future, Ah Jin?"

Pure friendship? Mu Jin had no real friends in this world or in the Dongyue Kingdom, so she was troubled about how to maintain friendship with her friends.

Mu Jin was a little embarrassed: "I~ have never made friends, and I don't know how to get along with friends."

Su Yi was stunned, but couldn't help but smile: "It is my honor to be Ah Jin's first friend. In the future, we will share the good times and I will be the one to help in the bad times."

"Is that it?" Mu Jin asked.

"That's it!" Su Yi replied.

Mu Jin tilted his head and looked at Su Yi, pulling his lips into a slight smile, but thought to himself that this deal seemed to be a good one.

In the No. 1 room of Shidinglou, Li Yansong was sitting in the room, anxiously waiting for someone.

The sound of a stingy voice suddenly rang out. Li Yansong stood up and walked quickly to the door. He opened the door with hope, but saw only his master Zhang Chao standing outside.

Li Yansong walked out of the wing door and looked outside. He found that no one was following Zhang Chao. He turned back to look at Zhang Chao and frowned, "Why? The master didn't want to come with you?"

Zhang Chao shook his head at Li Yansong with a dejected look.

Li Yansong looked at Zhang Chao and shook his head, then returned to his room with a look of disappointment. Zhang Chao followed him and closed the door. Li Yansong turned around and asked Zhang Chao, "Have you handed in my visiting card?"

Zhang Chao nodded: "As soon as I handed over the visiting card, the gatekeeper seemed to be prepared. He took one look and threw the card to the ground, saying that his master didn't know any Li Zhizhou and told him not to try to establish connections with him in the future, so as not to hurt others and yourself."

"Harming others and yourself?" Li Yansong carefully repeated the four words "harming others and yourself" several times, and seemed to have thought of something. He took two steps back, his legs went weak, and he slumped down in the chair.

"Sir!" Zhang Chao took a look at Li Yansong's desperate look and couldn't help but stepped forward and nervously supported Li Yansong.

"Now that the government office hasn't done anything to me yet, have they already made plans in advance and are ready to get rid of me?" Li Yansong murmured to himself.

"Sir, please cheer up and think of a solution first. We give them a lot of money every month. They will not ignore us." Zhang Chao said anxiously.

Li Yansong snorted coldly: "Don't be naive. Without me, there are still others. How many people are rushing to make money for them, and we have to look at their faces. What are we?"

Zhang Chao was panicking and asked anxiously, "What should we do next?"

"We have a lot of money now, and we don't have to stay in Dongyue to have a future. Have you put away the account books?"

Zhang Chao said: "I have put them away. I also made two copies. One is for me to carry with me, and the other is for me to keep in my outer room."

Li Yansong felt relieved. "Let them go. If there ever comes a day when they want to get rid of me, don't blame me for turning against them. It's a fight to the bitter end!"

"I know."

Li Yansong stood up and walked to the window. This Shidinglou was located in the best location in the capital. Looking out the window one could see the prosperous streets and bustling crowds of people in the capital.

He booked Room No. 1 today to treat his superior and ordered the signature dishes of Shidinglou. He spent ten years' salary on it. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, as long as you have money, you will be a superior person wherever you go.

Li Yansong turned around and said to Zhang Chao, "We'll go back to the inn to pack our things. Once it gets dark, we'll leave the city."

Zhang Chao was a little worried: "But I think Zhao Wude doesn't believe what you said. I'm afraid he has already asked the people from the government to follow us."

Li Yansong sneered: "Then have someone chop off all these tails so we can get on the road quickly."

From the outside, the carriage that Su Yi was riding in today was surprisingly low-key compared to the past. It was about the same size as the carriages that ordinary wealthy families ride in, but it was still extremely luxurious when you got inside.

Mu Jin leaned against the soft pillow of the carriage, looked at Su Yi opposite and asked: "Where are we going?"

Su Yi curved his peach blossom eyes and said to Mu Jin, "Shall I take Ah Jin to the outside of the city to watch a good show?"

Mu Jin looked puzzled: "What show are you watching?"

"Watching a dog-eat-dog show."

Dog bites dog? Hearing Su Yi say this, Mu Jin became even more confused. She was impatient and couldn't help but glare at Su Yi, as if to say, are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, I'm going to get off the car.

Su Yi smiled, "I think Li Yansong will not survive tonight. From the moment that idiot stepped into the general's mansion to rescue people, he was destined to die. I think the people behind him are afraid that he will talk nonsense, so they will kill him tonight."

Hearing Su Yi say this, Mu Jin sneered, "He just took advantage of the fact that my father and brother were not at home, and that it was easy to fool a woman like me."

Su Yi stared at Mu Jin: "Yes, our Ah Jin is not an ordinary woman. He is unlucky this time."

Mu Jin was no longer surprised by Su Yi's praise. She rolled her eyes and asked, "Who is the person behind him? Do you know?"

Su Yi shook his head: "I'm not sure yet. I have asked someone to check. I used to be too lazy to pay attention to these minions, but since they dared to target Ah Jin for a pill, I won't be polite to them."

Mu Jin was surprised: "How do you know that they are targeting me for a pill?"

Mu Jin seemed to have thought of something: "When I was interrogating the assassin, you were already sitting on the roof?"

"Yes, I even said hello to the assassin when he jumped onto the roof and escaped."

"Then you should also know that the officialdom in Heyang and even in the capital is rotten to the core. Do you plan to tell your father about this?"

Hearing Mu Jin say this, Su Yi sneered: "This court is not my court, I don't care about his life or death."
