The Time Traveling Anchor and Her Eight Hundred Fence-Sitters

Chapter 71 First Meeting with Xiao Haizhou

There were two people standing in front of Zhao Mianmian, both five steps away from her.

From Zhao Mianmian's perspective, he could only see the hems of their clothes and the boots that looked similar.

Both pairs of boots are black, and at first glance there seems to be no difference, but upon closer inspection, there is a huge difference.

One pair was made of coarse-grained plain cloth, with the toes badly worn and some wet mud on the edges. I wonder how much the owner of these boots has traveled today.

The other pair is made of plain brocade with diamond patterns, and some fish and animal patterns are embroidered on it with the same color embroidery thread. It looks both low-key and gorgeous.

The two discussed the assassin's origins in front of Zhao Mianmian for a while, and then changed the subject to talk about disaster relief in the Huaibei area.

I only heard the man in the plain cloth boots say:

"The imperial edict was sent yesterday. It will be delivered 800 miles at an expedited rate. It is estimated that it will arrive in Qi County tomorrow."

"We have already informed Lord Fang Tongsheng in advance. As soon as His Majesty's decree arrives, we can open the Changping warehouse and release relief grain."

As soon as the man in the plain cloth boots finished speaking, the man standing next to him paused and did not respond immediately.

He didn't say anything, and suddenly the huge yard was shrouded in a strange atmosphere.

Quiet, depressing, and terrifying.

Zhao Mianmian was so scared that she thought she had not hidden well, so she quickly curled up her body again, trying to shrink herself into a tiny shrimp.

Little did she know that her self-deceiving behavior had already been seen by the two men.

The man in the plain cloth boots took a step and was about to attack, but was stopped by Xiao Haizhou beside him with a smile on his face.

Xiao Haizhou lowered his eyes slightly and continued talking to Feng Chen:

"There's no need to be so anxious. The Changping warehouse in Qi County is full of new rice. If we release it, it will be a bargain for a group of money wolves."

"Well, ask Fang Tongsheng to think of some way to exchange the old rice from the charity granary for the Changping granary. In two days, when the imperial edict arrives, release the rice from the charity granary first."

When Feng Chen heard this, all the blood in his body rushed to his head.

He ignored Zhao Mianmian who was hiding in the weeds and took a step forward, saying anxiously:

"Sir, how can this be possible?! The rice in the charity granary is several years old. Sir Fang and I went to see it before. The rice is simply... inedible!!"

Xiao Haizhou remained unmoved after hearing what his subordinates said.

He narrowed his eyes with a cold face and looked at Feng Chen deeply. That look made Feng Chen feel like he fell into an ice cellar and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

"What do you mean by inedible? As long as it's not moldy, what's inedible?"

Feng Chen gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. Since Lord Xiao had made the decision, no matter how much he said, it would be useless. He could only clasp his fists, salute, and retreat.

"I understand. I will pass the order on."

As soon as Feng Chen left, the pressure on Zhao Mianmian was much less.

However, before she could exhale, she suddenly felt a darkness in front of her, as if a huge mountain had suddenly stood in front of her.

Zhao Mianmian was startled and looked up suddenly.

As soon as she raised her head, her terrified gaze met Xiao Haizhou's bottomless pupils.

"Are you happy to hear that?"

Xiao Haizhou curled the corners of his mouth, and even there was a smile in his eyes.

Zhao Mianmian couldn't laugh at this moment. Instead, the public screen in the live broadcast room was filled with crazy screams:

【Ahhhhhhhhhh~】

[He laughed, he actually laughed!!]

[Oh my god, host, I didn’t expect you to eat so well in ancient times! Look at his face, eyes, hands, and body. Every part of him really meets my aesthetic standards! ! ! ]

Zhao Mianmian stared at Xiao Haizhou in front of him for several times.

To be honest, she also thought this man was good-looking, but at the moment, was it a question of whether he was good-looking or not???

She seemed to have overheard something incredible just now. Would she be killed by this handsome man... to silence her? !

Zhao Mianmian was so anxious that she was incoherent. She kept saying "I, I, I" for a long time, and in the end her face turned red but she couldn't fart.

Finally, he was left with no other options, so he simply rolled his eyes, fell backwards, and fainted.

Zhao Mianmian's attempt to cover up one's mistake almost made Xiao Haizhou laugh.

Fortunately, he didn't intend to scare Zhao Mianmian to death right now, so he raised his hand and called Wang Yuan over from not far away.

Xiao Haizhou pointed at Zhao Mianmian, who was lying in the weeds with his eyes rolled back and pretending to be dead, and said with a smile:

"Looks like a student from the academy next door, please send him back."

Wang Yuan was confused:

"what?"

Wang Yuan couldn't be blamed for being confused. In the past, he would rather kill a thousand people than let one go. Whether it was the Taifu Mansion or this courtyard, which corner hadn't been stained with blood?

But what did he hear today?

Lord Xiao actually asked him to send the person back? Back? ! !

Could it be that this person saved the life of the Xiao family's ancestor in his previous life...

Thinking of this, Wang Yuan looked at Zhao Mianmian with curiosity.

A little girl over three years old, she dresses well and looks okay, but she is a little short.

She looks familiar, but I don’t know which girl she is.

Then Wang Yuan's eyes fell on Zhao Mianmian's pair of sky-blue embroidered shoes.

The embroidered shoes are embroidered with gold and white cloud patterns. The stitches are fine and the design is ingenious. They look very beautiful against the sky blue background.

The key point is that where the cloud patterns meet, there is a fingernail-sized...Southern Pearl!

drink!

Aren't these Nanzhu the ones he asked Xie Chen to deliver to the He family earlier? !

Could it be...

Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment, thought about it again, then walked forward with a smile and picked the man up.

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

**

Xuanlin Guard personally sent him off.

However, this person was not sent back to Xunshanyuan, but directly sent back to the He family, almost scaring everyone in the He family to death.

"The young lady was playing in the academy, but a lizard suddenly appeared and frightened her."

"I just happened to be passing by, and thought it was convenient, so I sent him home."

Qin Shuyu frowned when he heard this and looked at Wang Yuan doubtfully.

She really couldn't understand why Sister Mian, who was studying peacefully in the academy, would be scared by a lizard.

Besides, even if he was frightened, there were teachers from the academy there, so how could he be spotted by Xuanlin Guards and personally sent back to the He family? ?

Everything that happened was so bizarre, yet they were all connected together in a strange way, giving people an indescribable feeling.

However, due to Wang Yuan's identity, Qin Shuyu didn't dare to say much.

She bowed gracefully, then made tea for Wang Yuan and presented him with a thank-you gift. She was busy for a while before she sent him away.

As soon as Wang Yuan left, Qin Shuyu's face immediately darkened.

She gritted her teeth and said to Yumozuo and Guanyu, "Go and see if Yi Ge'er has finished school. If he has, bring him back directly, don't let him get away."

Yumozuo and Guanyu looked at each other and lit a candle for Yiger in their hearts.

"Yes, young lady."
