Flying Clouds in Another World

"What do you mean by saying that I contributed to your concubines' pregnancy? Brother Gao, don't say that! If my uncle and aunt heard about it, they would hate me to death! If my parents knew about it, they would beat me to death! Brother Gao! Don't hurt me like this!"

Liu Feiyun put down the teacup, looking helpless.

Gao Jinda wiped the tea off his face, looking innocent.

"Prince! There is nothing wrong with what I said! If you and Zheng Xiaoyi hadn't worked so hard to study my condition, I wouldn't have been cured so quickly! It is indeed your contribution that my concubines can get pregnant!"

"I'm scared of you! Okay, okay! Then I'll congratulate Brother Gao first! But! I'm afraid I won't be able to see your children being born! In a few days, I'll be leaving too!"

"Departure? Does this mean that the prince is going to Changluo now?"

"Yes! If you don't leave now, you will miss the joint examination! Once I leave, the affairs of Yunliu Trading Company will be handed over to you!"

"Prince! Actually, I came here this time not only to announce the good news, but also to discuss something with you!"

"Discuss!? What do you need to discuss with me?" Liu Feiyun was a little confused.

Gao Jinda took a deep breath and then said solemnly: "Prince! I want to go to the imperial capital Changluo with you!"

"Going to Changluo!? What are you going there for? Are you going to participate in the joint examination of various academies? I didn't realize that! Brother Gao has made great progress in the past six months!"

Liu Feiyun was really surprised.

Gao Jinda said with some self-mockery: "The prince is really a joker! I, Gao Jinda, am not good at literature and cannot endure hardships in martial arts, so how can I participate in the joint examinations of various academies! I want to go to Changluo, firstly to help the prince in Changluo, and secondly, I also want to see the world and broaden my horizons! Finally, I also want to try my luck and see if I can marry a real noble lady or talented woman in Changluo City as my principal wife!"

"Uh! Brother Gao, are you serious? Changluo is not as simple as you think. It is not only the most prosperous place in the world, but also a den of dragons and tigers where people are eaten without leaving any bones! Not to mention you, even I have to be careful when I get there, for fear of making any mistakes. Brother Gao, you have to think it over, Changle is not as good as you think. Especially since you are going with me, if some people know the relationship between you and me, I am afraid that someone will do something bad to you, or even take your life. It is not impossible."

Gao Jinda's face really changed when he heard this: "Ah! Are you trying to scare me, Prince? My mother didn't tell me that!"

"Your mother!" Liu Feiyun's heart moved: Sure enough! This matter was Wang's idea again.

As for the county lady, Mrs. Wang, through his contact and understanding over the past year, Liu Feiyun felt that this Mrs. Wang was too scheming.

In order to get Fan to marry into her family, Wang did not hesitate to sacrifice her daughter's lifelong happiness and repeatedly let Gao Xinyi get close to her. When she got drunk and caught a cold, she asked Gao Xinyi, a rich lady, to take care of her personally and do things that only maids would do. She even risked her daughter's reputation and let her stay in the same room with her overnight. After being clearly rejected by her, she still did not give up and asked her to go with her to see the snow scenery in Yannan and invited her to visit the Lantern Festival with her.

Thinking of this, Liu Feiyun asked in a mysterious way: "Did your mother also let your sister go with me to Changluo?"

Gao Jinda was surprised: "Ah! How did you know this, Prince? You are truly an amazing person!"

Liu Feiyun couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This Wang! Why is she doing this! She knew that with the status and position of her Gao family, even if her daughter could marry into the Liu family, she would not be able to become a wife, not even a side wife, and could only be a concubine without a name.

This was a strictly hierarchical society, and marriages between nobles were mostly based on matching social status. This was especially true for someone like me, the heir to a noble estate!

Seeing that Gao Jinda seemed to be really hesitant, Liu Feiyun continued to ask: "Let's not talk about whether your mother asked you to go. Let's talk about yourself. Do you really want to go to Changluo? Even if Changluo may be life-threatening to you? I'm not trying to scare you! Look at Shihu, he is very powerful! When I went to Miyun Sect to learn martial arts with him, he encountered many killing situations and even almost lost his life several times! My Liu family has many enemies. They may be hesitant to take action against me because of my identity, but it's another matter for the people around me! You must think it over!"

Gao Jinda looked uglier and gloomy. He lowered his head and pondered for a long time, but still answered resolutely: "Even if my life is in danger, I will go. I don't want to live the muddle-headed life like before. I don't want to be laughed at by others as a good-for-nothing who can only play with women! I want to take the business path and do a big career in the business world! Let those who laugh at me take a good look! As for my little sister, I will persuade my mother after I go back to let my little sister stay at home!"

Liu Feiyun nodded and said solemnly: "Since Brother Gao has made up his mind, I won't persuade him any more. But since you are going to Changluo, I have to make careful plans! It just so happens that I have some other ideas for going to Changluo, and there are some things that need a trustworthy person to do. If Brother Gao is willing, that would be the best! How about this, you go back and prepare first! I will have someone notify you before the discovery!"

"Yes! Prince!"

Liu Feiyun asked Gao Jinda to prepare for the long journey, but he himself needed to make more preparations.

The first thing is to select the accompanying personnel.

With the upgrading of workshops in Huanming Valley and the increase in production capacity, the variety of goods that can be produced is increasing, and the production capacity is also increasing. This has stimulated the rapid expansion of Liu Feiyun's business group. In just less than a year, it has grown from a business with only one store to a trading company with dozens of stores.

During this trip to Changluo, Liu Feiyun planned to open Yunliu Trading Company there. After all, it was the capital of the empire, the most prosperous place in the world, with a plethora of rich people, and it would be a waste not to make money from them!

Since a new store is being opened, manpower is needed, so Liu Feiyun decided to bring Wu Xin along.

Wu Xin was a very versatile person, good at observing people's expressions, getting information, and collecting secrets. What was even more rare was that he was also quite capable in business. Bringing him along would not only help the new store take root in Changluo, but also extend the reach of his intelligence organization there.

In addition to the staff who open the store, you also need to select your own bodyguards.

For this purpose, Liu Feiyun personally found Liu Shihu.

"Shihu! This time when we go to Changluo, I plan to let you stay to look after the house for a while. I wonder if you are willing?"
