Jiang Yanchuan held Jiang Yingcheng's hand, and Jiang Yingcheng held her new friend Guan Zhili's hand. The three of them walked slowly in Jiayu City, as leisurely as if they were strolling in their own back garden.

Guan Zhili's already confused face became even more bewildered.

He didn't know why he joined this father and daughter to form such a strange combination, he didn't know what the emotion beating in his heart was called, and he didn't know...

What kind of expression should he use to face the chaos in Jiayu City?

Seeing that the people of Beiming did not rise up to resist, the soldiers of Da Rui gently ordered them to squat in the open space in the middle of the road, and then carefully pried open the tightly closed houses one by one, trying to see if there were any pro-war factions hiding in the dark with the intention of counterattacking.

The shops along the street that had been confirmed to be safe left their doors open. Apart from the absence of shopkeepers and customers inside, they looked no different from before.

The little guy who was holding his hand next to him suddenly spoke.

"Daddy, candy."

Guan Zhili turned around and saw that the girl who called herself Jiang Yingcheng had let go of Ming Zedi's hand, pointed to an open store in front of them, and asked for candy in a crisp voice.

Emperor Mingze also looked over and said in a deep voice, "One."

The little guy lowered his head and thought for a while, then stretched out two fingers. Two cute dimples appeared on his chubby little hands, and he bargained, "Two."

"……Can."

Before Mingzedi took a step, the little guy suddenly said something shocking: "Two pills a day."

Emperor Mingze stopped suddenly, lowered his head, and glanced at the little guy coldly.

Guan Zhili shuddered subconsciously.

If this situation happened to him, he would probably have been so scared that he would have knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for forgiveness.

No, he didn't even dare to ask his father for candy.

His father, the emperor, lived a life of luxury and had whatever he wanted to eat, but he was not so generous to the unfavored princes. Not to mention candy, even their daily food was not as good as that of the wealthy people outside the palace.

How could they be like this little girl in front of them, who not only had no fear in her eyes, but also raised her head and tried to reason with her father? !

"Father, please don't be so stingy," the little guy said in a baby voice, "When you were not around, Uncle Liaochen always gave Chengcheng four pills!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground behind them, and it sounded like someone fell from a great height.

Guan Zhili turned around and saw a bald monk kneeling on the ground, looking at his side in shock.

He looked clear.

Oh, this should be the "Uncle Liaochen" who was betrayed by the little guy during the bargaining.

The little guy looked around guiltily, but Emperor Mingze's gaze was overly focused, falling squarely on the bald monk.

Guan Zhili: “…”

Fortunately, the little girl still had a conscience and helped the man: "Father, why are you glaring at Uncle Lechen? When you were not around, it was Uncle Lechen who carried Chengcheng on the road!"

Emperor Mingze calmly looked away.

"Then let's assume you take two pills a day. This trip will take more than forty days. I will buy you sixty pills in total."

Guan Zhili: “…”

How could it be possible that the journey from here to the capital of Dari is only forty days? !

The numbers in this short sentence decreased gradually, and Guan Zhili felt as if he had witnessed a large-scale child scam.

Jiang Yingcheng, knowing that this was the limit of her handsome father, nodded: "Okay."

Guan Zhili: “…………”

As soon as he finished speaking, he thought of his new friend holding his hand, turned around and said happily: "Brother should have candy too!"

Jiang Yanchuan turned his head and glanced at Guan Zhili.

Guan Zhili said hurriedly: "I, I don't..."

"One hundred."

"yeah!"

So the three of them walked to the candy shop together again.

Jiang Yanchuan personally went inside and took out two plates of candy, gave one to Jiang Yingcheng and Guan Zhili, and instructed them, "Each of you pick half."

Jiang Yingcheng pulled Guan Zhili, who was about to say something, and walked inside happily.

The war between the two countries has been going on for a long time. Anyone with some wealth in the city has fled here in advance. The owner of this store should be one of them.

There were many kinds of candies left in this small shop, and each one was very bright and beautiful. Jiang Yingcheng started from the candy grid at the edge, and soon filled up an entire plate.

It seems that the number has long exceeded the original allotment of fifty.

Guan Zhili, the prince of the defeated country, quickly handed over his plate: "I'll give you my share too..."

He added: "I don't like candy."

Jiang Yingcheng's eyes widened.

She felt that there must be no child in the world who didn't like candy, and this new brother was obviously lying to her when he said this.

She tried to put on a straight face: "Don't lie!"

Guan Zhili was speechless.

This was the first time he walked out of the huge palace where he could only move around in a very small courtyard. Even in this situation, he found everything in the outside world very novel. The air outside was fresh and the candies outside were sweet.

He never thought that he could survive. He had already lived through such difficult days for ten years. Death was fine, but living was also fine.

With this faint sense of death, he stretched out his hand towards a candy he had long been eyeing with an almost desperate attitude: "Then, then I want this one..."

A big smile suddenly appeared on the little guy's face.

"Chengcheng just saw something even better looking over there!"

She grabbed her new friend's hand and walked to the next corner.

Jiang Yingcheng's plate was already full, so she smiled ingratiatingly at her new friend, then tentatively picked up a piece and put it on the other person's plate.

Guan Zhili also let her go.

Once you have the first one, there will be countless more to come.

Guan Zhili's plate was piled high with the little guy's favorite candies, and when Emperor Mingze came to count the candies himself, he wished he could crawl into the ground.

There were sixty-three candies on the little guy's plate, which was just in a safe range where he exceeded the prescribed amount but was not so small as to be ordered to put them back.

But the plate of the ceremony...

There were a total of seventy-nine of them, and there were only two of them, which he picked up personally.

He liked the shiny appearance of the candy very much and did not forget to pick one for the little guy next to him.

Guan Zhili: “…”

Jiang Yanchuan: "..."

Jiang Yanchuan: "Jiang Yingcheng."

"This is what Brother Zhili likes!" The little guy said confidently, "Brother Zhili just left home and is very sad. He should have seventy-nine candies!"

After saying this, as if she was afraid that her father would go back on his word, she took out a golden bean from her purse and tiptoed to put it in the cash box behind the counter.

Guan Zhili was stunned.
