Escape after crossing

Chapter 181 A Different Courtyard

After the surroundings returned to peace, Jiang Ziluo heaved a sigh of relief and continued to pack up the treasures in the room. This Xiao Mansion is really rich enough to rival a country! Just the mountains of gold and silver alone are four or five boxes more than the national treasury!

After Jiang Ziluo packed up some of her belongings, she still felt unsatisfied. She closed her eyes and concentrated on communicating with Yuanyuan: "Yuanyuan, I want to know how much more space there is left?" After a moment, Yuanyuan responded, saying that there was not much space left.

Hearing this news, Jiang Ziluo couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She originally planned to take all the property of the Xiao Mansion, but now it seems that this beautiful wish seems difficult to achieve. However, she did not get discouraged, but quickly adjusted her mentality and began to select more precious items.

After careful selection, Jiang Ziluo picked out several particularly valuable treasures. However, as for those ordinary gold, silver and money, she chose to put them all into the space without hesitation.

Jiang Ziluo nodded with satisfaction. Although she failed to move all the things in the Xiao Mansion as she wished, she was still very satisfied. She believed that the gold and silver in the space were enough for Leng Chenming to distribute to the soldiers.

Thinking this in her heart, Jiang Ziluo did not dare to delay for a moment and left the warehouse lightly. She always kept in mind the time agreed with Leng Chenming, but as she walked, she somehow turned into a courtyard.

This courtyard was completely different from what he had seen before. It was large, unique and elegant, but unfortunately the atmosphere was unusually deserted. Everyone in the courtyard had already fallen asleep, and Jiang Ziluo sprinkled some sleeping pills on them.

After the medicine took effect, Jiang Ziluo stepped into the main room. She saw that the paintings hanging on the wall and the furnishings in the room were all very tasteful, which made her love them.

But Jiang Ziluo didn't forget the purpose of his trip. After watching it for a while, he quickly started searching. After all, the space he carried couldn't hold more items, but his hands still had room!

At worst, I can take it back first and then take out the food. After all, there are still so many good things in the warehouse that I haven't got yet. It's a pity! Now I can take as much as I can.

Jiang Ziluo thought to herself, and her hands did not stop moving. She picked and chose only some light and easy things, such as silver and jewelry. But when her eyes fell on the banknotes beside her, she couldn't help but feel troubled.

It’s not that Jiang Ziluo looked down on these banknotes, but she was worried that going to the bank to cash them would cause unnecessary trouble and might even expose her identity.

However, Jiang Ziluo was unwilling to watch these banknotes stay in Xiao's house. After several struggles, she finally decided to take the banknotes with her. As for how to deal with them... I will discuss it with Leng Chenming after I go back.

Jiang Ziluo tried his best to put everything he found on his body. If he couldn't put anything on his body, he would find a piece of cloth in the room to wrap it up, then turn around and leave the room.

When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and looked back at the room, feeling as if she had missed something. She thought about it carefully and made sure that she had not missed anything before leaving with peace of mind.

Jiang Ziluo returned along the original route. The journey was smooth and she did not meet anyone. She quietly opened the back door and slipped out. The air outside was fresh and pleasant. Jiang Ziluo took a deep breath and felt happy.

She walked quickly to the place she had agreed with Leng Chenming, and saw Leng Chenming waiting for her there from a distance. Jiang Ziluo quickened his pace, ran to Leng Chenming, and said with a smile.

"I'm back!" Leng Chenming was relieved to see that Jiang Ziluo was safe and sound, and nodded with a smile. The two smiled at each other and left the Xiao Mansion together.

After returning to the inn, Jiang Ziluo gently placed the bag in her hand on the table, and then carefully took out a few silver ingots and a stack of banknotes from her clothes. Her movements were very cautious, as if these valuables were rare treasures.

Leng Chenming stood aside, watching all this, and couldn't help but widen his eyes. He had never seen Jiang Ziluo act like this before. She had never taken things out after coming back in the past. What was going on tonight?

Leng Chenming, who was full of doubts, couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing..."

Jiang Ziluo smiled slightly and explained: "I found these things in a courtyard in the Xiao Mansion. I originally wanted to put them in the space, but there was really no room, so I had to bring them back like this." After that, she spread out her hands helplessly.

Leng Chenming walked forward and looked through the items carefully. When he saw the stack of banknotes with the unique mark of the Xiao Mansion, he suddenly raised his head and fixed his eyes on Jiang Ziluo.

"I'm afraid this banknote may be difficult to cash." He frowned, a hint of worry in his tone.

Jiang Ziluo nodded to show that she understood. "I know, actually I didn't think of exchanging these banknotes for silver. I just felt that I couldn't leave them in the Xiao Mansion, so I took them out." Her eyes were firm and resolute, and she seemed unwavering in her decision.

Leng Chenming was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something. Finally, he slowly said, "Well, since you have made up your mind, it's up to you. However, we still have to be careful with these things to avoid unnecessary trouble." After that, he reorganized the banknotes and put them back into the bag.

"Hurry up and rest. We have to leave early tomorrow morning and we can't delay any longer!" Leng Chenming reminded again.

Jiang Ziluo knew this, so the two of them took the opportunity to rest. The next morning, the sun shone into the house.

Jiang Ziluo and Leng Chenming got up early, packed their luggage, and prepared to leave. They carefully took the harvest from last night and set off on their journey home.

Soon after they left the city, the sound of hurried horse hooves broke the tranquility of the imperial city of Lingxi. An urgent letter from eight hundred miles away flew into the palace like a flash of lightning, causing a commotion.

The emperor of Lingxi Kingdom took the memorial sent by General Lingxi anxiously. When he unfolded it, his face instantly became extremely gloomy and he flew into a rage.

However, all this did not matter much to Leng Chenming and Jiang Ziluo. At this moment, they were traveling day and night, not daring to stop for even a moment.

Leng Chenming said solemnly: "The news has spread to Lingxi Country. We must leave this place as soon as possible to avoid any accidents."

Leng Chenming nodded lightly, "Thank you for your hard work these days. When you return to our country, you can have a good rest."
