Escape after crossing

However, although Jiang Ziluo was full of interest in these novel treasures, she also knew the priorities of things. She knew that she couldn't be greedy and take everything away, otherwise once it attracted attention, the consequences would be disastrous.

So, she suppressed her inner impulse and began to select the most valuable and easy-to-carry items. It was a bit unrealistic, so Jiang Ziluo took a general look.

Gold and silver are in one area, jewelry is in another area, calligraphy and paintings, ornaments and utensils are arranged in an orderly manner in their own areas, which makes Jiang Ziluo feel particularly easy and convenient when selecting items.

Jiang Ziluo went straight to the gold and silver area without hesitation, with greed in her eyes. She quickly swept away all the gold and silver, as if all the wealth was already in her pocket.

Then, she came to the jewelry area and carefully looked at each exquisite ornament. With her unique vision, she picked out the jewelry that looked pleasing to the eye and of high quality, and carefully put them in the space.

After finishing all this, Jiang Ziluo stood there, examining her harvest with satisfaction. Her face was filled with a satisfied smile, as if she was very satisfied with her results. However, at the same time, Yuanyuan's mood was completely different.

Yuanyuan looked unhappy, with her mouth pouting. The reason was simple: she was frightened again. Not only that, she was forced to do hard labor, so she was naturally dissatisfied.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that Jiang Ziluo is really serious and responsible in treating patients and saving lives, I wouldn't care about these trivial matters!" Yuanyuan couldn't help but muttered under her breath.

At this moment, Jiang Ziluo didn't have the extra energy to pay attention to Yuanyuan's mood changes. He turned his eyes to Leng Chenming. He saw Leng Chenming wandering at the door of the treasury, seemingly casually looking at the items placed around, but in fact he was paying attention to the movement outside the door.

Jiang Ziluo walked quickly to Leng Chenming's side and waved his finger gently, indicating that he could prepare to leave. Leng Chenming nodded in understanding, then carefully opened the door and observed the situation outside the door cautiously. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he let Jiang Ziluo out with confidence, and the two left side by side, leaving the palace quietly.

After leaving the palace, Jiang Ziluo and Leng Chenming came to a remote alley.

"We've gained a lot this time." Jiang Ziluo said excitedly.

Leng Chenming nodded in agreement, "But we still have to be careful."

"I know." Jiang Ziluo said, taking out a jade pendant with a phoenix engraved on it from his arms, "I found this in the treasure house, I think it's very special."

Leng Chenming took the jade pendant and examined it carefully. "Indeed, this jade pendant has a warm texture and exquisite craftsmanship. The phoenix pattern on it is lifelike. Maybe it has some special meaning."

Jiang Ziluo smiled and said, "No matter what, it is our trophy. Let's find a place to hide it first, and then study it slowly after the storm has passed."

After the two of them discussed it, Jiang Ziluo asked, "Shall we go to the Xiao family?"

"What bad intentions do you have now?" Leng Chenming looked at Jiang Ziluo lovingly, his eyes shining.

"What bad intentions do you have? I just thought it was still early and we just went for a walk!" Jiang Ziluo would never admit that he had any other thoughts.

Seeing this, Leng Chenming picked up Jiang Ziluo and flew off to the direction of the Xiao family. Leng Chenming didn't want to ask more questions. He didn't want to miss the chance to hug a beauty.

Not long after, Leng Chenming brought Jiang Ziluo to the vicinity of the Xiao family. The reason why they were nearby was because Leng Chenming discovered that the Xiao family had secret guards and dark places.

After Leng Chenming landed with Jiang Ziluo in his arms, he whispered in her ear, "Let's observe the situation here first." Jiang Ziluo nodded, and the two of them quietly approached the Xiao family.

The Xiao family's door was closed and the surroundings were quiet, but Leng Chenming was keenly aware of the hidden atmosphere around him. He whispered to Jiang Ziluo, "It seems that the Xiao family is on guard. Let's go around to the back and take a look."

The two of them went around to the backyard of the Xiao family and found a small door there. Leng Chenming flew over the wall and carefully opened the small door to let Jiang Ziluo enter the yard.

The courtyard was elegantly decorated and looked like the Xiao family's garden. Jiang Ziluo looked around and suddenly saw a ray of light coming through the window of a room.

She pointed at the room, Leng Chenming understood and quietly approached the room. Just as they were about to approach the room, they suddenly heard a shout: "Who is it?"

Leng Chenming and Jiang Ziluo were startled and immediately turned around to hide in the flowers. They saw a Xiao family guard approaching from not far away, looking around vigilantly. After the guard walked away, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that it's not so easy to enter the Xiao family!" Leng Chenming said softly.

"Is the defense so tight? If the house is swept clean out, guess what the head of the Xiao family will do? Will he be angry to death?" Jiang Ziluo thought this kind of thing was really interesting.

"Cleared out?" This was one of the rare times that Leng Chenming asked a question.

"Yes, but let's forget about it tonight. We'll go looking for trouble with the Xiao family tomorrow. It won't be too late to come tomorrow night."

Afterwards, the two of them returned to their rooms in the inn quietly and went to rest. The next morning, just after dawn, Jiang Ziluo couldn't wait to wake up Leng Chenming and told him his thoughts.

Jiang Ziluo was thinking about how to use the news that the second prince Ji Yuze was arrested to create some trouble for the Queen of Lingxi and the Imperial Concubine. After all, it was not her style to not take revenge!

When Leng Chenming heard Jiang Ziluo's idea, he couldn't help but admire the clever little girl in front of him. In fact, Leng Chenming had originally planned to use Ji Yuze to ask for money or land from Lingxi State.

Jiang Ziluo not only thought about asking for money, but also found a way to make the imperial concubine and the others suffer a great loss. He is really brave and resourceful!

At this moment, Jiang Ziluo's eyes were sharp. He stared at Leng Chenming closely and continued to ask: "Also, those captured soldiers must also be asked to pay silver to redeem them!"

She knew very well that every soldier was a precious resource of the country and should not be easily abandoned. Even if these soldiers had become prisoners of war, they should still try their best to rescue them if there was a chance.

This will not only enhance the country's strength, but also allow those soldiers and their families to feel the care and warmth of the country.

Then, Jiang Ziluo made a better proposal for the Queen's family to target the Second Prince. She suggested that the Queen's family pay close attention to the recent large expenditures of the Xiao family, or observe whether they take out any items in the house in exchange for silver. This proposal is aimed at gaining insight into the economic trends of the Xiao family so as to better grasp the situation.

Not only that, Jiang Ziluo emphasized that the Queen's family must give priority to the Emperor in redeeming the soldiers. Doing so will not only help maintain the reputation of the royal family, but also show respect and care for the lives of the soldiers. Only after ensuring the safe return of the soldiers can we consider rescuing the second prince.

Leng Chenming stared at Jiang Ziluo blankly, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart. As a general, he knew what care and respect meant to the soldiers who had shared the same hardships with him.
