This trip was worth it. Within one day, Cheng Xingwan might very likely become the richest man in the world.

When they left, they were reluctant to go and felt like they hadn't said enough.

"Myna, this feeling of getting something for nothing is really great. It's too early to go back now. Why don't we go shopping along the way?

Put all their money in our pockets, maybe they will become poorer and won't have the confidence to invade our Yan."

"But their army will set out in less than a day. If we waste time on the road, won't we be unable to catch up?"

"Don't worry about that. Even if they are already at sea, we can wipe out their food and supplies before they land."

"Well, just have fun. If you want to talk about who is rich, those who work in the canal transportation must be no worse.

Maybe I can even take some of their big ships back to use them!"

"Myna is wise, what are we waiting for? Let's set off now."

The two hit it off immediately and flew towards Taimachi Village, looking for prey along the way.

Along the way, the two men cleaned out all the canal ports along the way.

By the way, he also visited their shipyard and took all the completed large and small ships for himself.

Xishen Kingdom is indeed an island country. We have to admit that their shipbuilding technology is much more advanced than that of Yan.

By the time they arrived at Taimachi Village Pier, exhausted, it was three days later.

The Xishen Kingdom's army had already set out a day ago.

Looking around, you can only see a few small fishing boats on the sea.

The fleet had long since disappeared.

There were several merchant ships docked at the dock at this time, and many porters were going back and forth between the dock and the ships to unload goods.

There are also a few familiar faces among them.

The mayor of Taimachi Village was among them.

In order to avoid being recognized, the two hurriedly hid in the woods nearby and were about to summon Dahei.

"Nannan, why are you here?"

A joyful voice sounded, and Cheng Xingwan turned his head in a daze.

But they saw Mieko and her two brothers standing not far away from them, waving at them happily.

Cheng Xingwan resisted the urge to turn around and run away, and greeted them with a stiff smile.

"Hey, Mieko, why are you here?"

Hearing her ask this, Mieko instantly forgot the question she had asked before.

She danced with excitement.

“Speaking of which, I haven’t thanked you yet.

Thanks to the money you left for us, we are no longer hungry.

There is even extra money left to use as business capital.

Now my grandmother and mother are setting up a stall at the dock to sell food.

Have you had lunch? If not, I'll treat you.

Grandma and mother will be very happy to see you."

After she said this, Cheng Xingwan remembered that before they left that day, he left them ten taels of silver and placed it on their dining table.

After all, they are a family of commoners, not bad people.

Although they allowed them to stay overnight because of the money.

But anyway, it helped them.

"No, we are about to set off. See, that ship is ours.

The ship is about to set sail, and we are in a hurry, so we won’t talk to you for long.

If we are destined to meet again, we will meet again next time!"

Mo Junyi said, pointing at the merchant ship that was about to leave the port.

As he spoke, he pulled Cheng Xingwan and ran quickly towards the dock.

"Can......"

Mieko wanted to say something, but the two of them had already disappeared into the crowd.

"But I remember the owner of that ship was a foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes."

Mieko looked at the merchant ship that had left the port and was confused.

This place is at least half a mile away from the port, so they probably missed the ship.

The two of them ran into the crowd without looking back, and only stopped after running a long way to make sure that they would not be seen by Mieko and the others.

Then I found the village chief walking towards me carrying a sack.

The two of them quickly turned around and ran into the woods on the other side.

After making sure that there was no one there, he quickly slipped into the space.

"That was close. I was almost exposed!"

Cheng Xingwan patted his chest with lingering fear and let out a long sigh.

"This is a bad idea. We must find a way to leave here as soon as possible. If we delay any longer, we may not be able to catch up with them."

Mo Junyi frowned and thought.

"This is easy, watch me!"

Cheng Xingwan suddenly had an idea, and when he reappeared, the two of them had completely changed.

With his patched coarse cloth clothes and sallow face, he stood inconspicuous in the crowd.

There is no need to worry about being recognized.

The two found a secluded place, made sure there was no one around, climbed onto Dahei's back and left this sin-filled country.

Mieko told her family what she had seen.

Her grandmother was horrified when she heard this, and she quickly covered her mouth and looked around nervously.

"You must be seeing things. They left here with their parents four days ago."

"I didn't see it wrong! Nannan even talked to me. If you don't believe me, ask my brothers. It's a pity that they were in a hurry. They didn't say a few words before they hurriedly chased after her merchant ship."

Seeing that her grandmother didn't believe her, Mieko quickly asked her brother to testify on her behalf.

"Mieko! Remember, you don't know any Nannans, and they have never been to our house!"

Seeing that the usually smiling grandmother had a sullen and stern look today, she looked very intimidating.

Mieko seemed to see the shadow of her grandfather in her grandmother. She was originally arguing with reason and enthusiasm, but suddenly she felt like a basin of cold water was poured over her from head to toe.

"Grandma, why is this happening? Is there something wrong with their identities?"

Mieko's older brother is already ten years old and understands some things now.

He keenly noticed the abnormal behavior of his grandmother today after Mieko mentioned her daughter.

Thinking back to when they first met, they both looked flustered for a moment.

He guessed that something must have happened that caused his grandmother to say such a thing.

“In short, you have to remember that our family, including our village, has never had outsiders come.

No matter who asks you, you must speak with one voice.

Other things are not something you children should ask about. It is not good for you to know too much.

Remember? "

"remember!"

"remember!"

"I'll remember~"

The three children answered in unison.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief and gently rubbed the top of his granddaughter's head.

They also learned about the major events that took place in Xijing today.

From today on, a nationwide investigation of suspicious persons will be carried out until the stolen money is found.

Her intuition told her that the origins of those two children were not simple.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, it would be best to erase all traces of their visit to Taimachi Village.

Cheng Xingwan and Mo Junyi had no idea that someone behind them had already suspected them.

At this time, they looked down from the sky and found the silhouette of the sinking fleet at the end of the sea level.
