The moonlight was bright, and the two sisters were whispering to each other in the shade of the woods.

"I have a golden silkworm Gu in my hand. I'll leave the child Gu here with you. Let Xin Che feed it three drops of blood tonight to activate the pair of Gu worms. After that, let Xin Che feed it with blood once a month."

Hou Xiaoxiao hung a small bamboo basket on Jiang Lili's wrist and gave Jiang Lili a bundle filled with ointments, powders and herbs that could be used in Qinglin Mountain.

Jiang Lili heard some rustling sounds in the bamboo basket and was a little scared: "Will it slip out as soon as I open the lid?"

"No, there are fine silk threads on the top of the bamboo basket that are interwoven into a grid to block their way. There is also powder on the silk threads that the poisonous insects are afraid of."

Hou Xiaoxiao opened the lid of the bamboo basket: "Look."

Jiang Lili looked into the bamboo building and found that the golden silkworm Gu worm in the bamboo building did not look scary. On the contrary, it was golden, just like a pile of gold ingots. She liked it a little: "This golden silkworm Gu worm looks golden, can it bring wealth?"

Hou Xiaoxiao: "...Are you obsessed with money?"

She said sternly, "I will go back and report to Queen Mother Yu and the dog emperor, and tell them that the Miao tribe suffered heavy losses, but the mission was accomplished."

Hou Xiaoxiao's eyes were cunning, "Although I didn't kill the people in Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion on the spot, I have already planted a poison in the body of Prince Xin Che."

"Within a year, Xin Che and everyone close to him who ate and lived with him would be dead."

"That way, the dog emperor and the queen mother will be relieved and stop watching you. After all, in their impression, you and I are incompatible. They would never have thought that I would secretly go with you."

Jiang Lili was a little worried: "You have to be careful, this is a crime of deceiving the emperor, if you are not careful, your life will be in danger."

Hou Xiaoxiao patted her shoulder solemnly: "Don't be afraid, we are the flowers of the motherland who have received socialist education."

"Emperor Qingning is not our emperor, so what crime have we committed?"

Jiang Lili got angry when she heard Hou Xiaoxiao's words: "Yes, he will be dethroned sooner or later!"

"I am still waiting for you to rise on the island and turn the south into a livable paradise. Then I will run away and join you!"

"I am now in charge of the household affairs of Prince Jin's Mansion, and I get a lot of benefits."

Hou Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes, her gaze sharp: "When I return to the capital, I will give you a hard time. I will also use the money they give you to support you!"

Jiang Lili was very moved by Hou Xiaoxiao's words and nodded her head vigorously: "Okay, I will do my best!"

After saying that, Jiang Lili handed Hou Xiaoxiao a bag of spicy crayfish packed by Xiaopang and juice in a thermos cup.

Hou Xiaoxiao was already thirsty after running back and forth a few times. She took a big gulp of juice and then sniffed the crayfish with an intoxicated expression: "This is the smell!"

"I really can't get used to the food in Miaojiang, and the environment of the tribe is also very backward."

Jiang Lili was very confused when she heard this: "How could it be? I thought the Miaojiang tribe was a very prosperous place in the south."

"They are good at using poisonous insects and know the Qinglin Mountains very well. They rely on the mountains to make a living."

Hou Xiaoxiao shook her head: "When I went back to Miaojiang this time, every family in the tribe seemed to be extremely poor."

"Raising Gu is time-consuming and harmful to the body. Besides, the Miao people are not as strong as the grassland people. Their physical fitness is not very good and they don't like to move."

Jiang Lili understood. No wonder those Miao people could only use poison and did not have any agile assassins to attack directly.

"The tribe's traditions are mysterious and closed, and they are isolated from the outside world. They don't trade with outsiders, and the soil in the Qinglin Mountains is not suitable for farming."

Hou Xiaoxiao also had a headache: "The Qin family occupied the few fertile soils in the mountains, and they were the only one that dominated. Other families depended on the Qin family and were exploited by them."

"Fortunately, my mother's family, the Bai family, has the support of the General of the Cavalry Mansion, so it won't be controlled by the Qin family."

Jiang Lili thought about it carefully after hearing it. Once she arrived in Haizhou, if she wanted to transform the deserted island and obtain support from Li Xiaoguan in Linzhou City, she would have to open up transportation between the two places.

It is really troublesome to enter and exit the Qinglin Mountains. If a highway can be opened and there are Miao people to lead the way and maintain it, the efficiency will be greatly improved.

"How about you contact Li Xiaoguan and ask the Bai family to bring other residents of the tribe to do business with Li Xiaoguan?"

The more Jiang Lili thought about it, the more she felt it was feasible: "Even if I sell fruits and herbs from the mountains, I can improve my life."

"Didn't Li Xiaoguan open a security company with the brothers of our mountain bandit sister?"

"The Miao people don't like to go down the mountain, so the escorts from the escort agency would go into the mountains to trade with them when they travel between Haizhou and Linzhou."

After listening to this, Hou Xiaoxiao thought about it and felt that this was very feasible!

"Linzhou, where Li Xiaoguan is located, is responsible for paying tribute to the capital with fruits such as lychees."

"But the transportation capacity is insufficient, and lychees are only available on the sunny side of Qinglin Mountain, so the quantity supplied each time is limited. Lychees are expensive and rare in the capital."

Moreover, if the Bai family can lead other residents of the tribe to do business with Li Xiaoguan and they don't have to live under the Qin family, then the Bai family's prestige in Qingling Mountain will also rise, and it will be more convenient to do things in the future.

After the two sisters made their plan, they waved goodbye, and by then the forest was already filled with smoke.

Jiang Lili was walking on the road, but her visible range was less than one meter.

Her cold-faced security guard, bah, didn’t the bodyguard say he would come to pick her up?

"Xin Che——"

Jiang Lili howled.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xin Che tapped his toes, dropped down from the tree, and appeared in front of Jiang Lili.

Jiang Lili was envious, this appearance was so cool. This bodyguard was voice-controlled, he would appear as soon as he was called.

Xin Che was holding a lamp in his hand. There seemed to be fireflies gathered in the lamp, emitting a clear yellow light in the mist. It looked extremely beautiful against Xin Che's deep eyebrows.

Jiang Lili couldn't tell whether the light was pretty or the person was pretty.

Xin Che took the bag and bamboo basket from Jiang Lili's hands, and then put the lamp in Jiang Lili's hand.

"Little Immortal, have you discussed this with your powerful friend?"

"Ok!"

Jiang Lili responded, and her two dimples on her face made her look particularly happy. She had been eating well recently, and her cheeks were no longer as thin as before.

Xin Che was very satisfied, a faint smile appeared on his calm face.

Jiang Lili held the firefly lamp and looked at it curiously for a long time. Xiaopang had previously used a transparent milk tea cup to feed juice, so Xin Che made the cup into a firefly lamp.

"Watch the road." Xin Che held Jiang Lili's sleeve and led them around a puddle. Seeing that Jiang Lili was still observing the fireflies, he said helplessly, "Let's play later."

Jiang Lili has never seen fireflies again since she moved from a small fishing village to the city. Occasionally, she would miss the nights in the village when she was a child.

Perhaps the light was too bright in the smoke and gradually attracted other fireflies, and the smoke around the two people became much lighter.

On the way back, Jiang Lili told Xin Che about Hou Xiaoxiao's arrangement, wondering whether Xin Che would accept to carry a poisonous insect with him.
