After hoarding billions of goods and traveling through the book, he farmed in another world to suppo

When he walked over, Xiao Li had already poured three cups of tea on the table.

Seeing this, Shen Congzhou sat down naturally on one of the stone benches and remained silent.

Chu Huaiqing glanced at the two of them inquiringly, then heard Xiao Li greet him in a neutral voice, "Sit down and have some tea."

After he sat down, he picked up the teacup and played with it gently. He was not in a hurry to drink it. Instead, he stared at the clear and transparent tea for a while, "The killer is coming."

"You're sitting here in front of me. It's obvious that all the assassins have returned empty-handed." Xiao Li took a sip of tea and looked at him with interest. "But judging from your appearance, it seems that there's more to it than meets the eye."

He hit the nail on the head. Chu Huaiqing looked up at him expressionlessly, "You're right, it's more than that."

As he said this, he glanced at Shen Congzhou, who was standing next to him as an invisible person. Xiao Li understood and chuckled, saying, "He's one of us. He knows most of my affairs."

Shen Congzhou knew many things that the Xiao family didn't know, not because he trusted the other party so much, but because this was the only person he could use.

After getting used to it, he had no intention of changing someone else to do the job unless the other party betrayed him.

Hearing this, Chu Huaiqing glanced at Shen Congzhou before saying, "The assassin's assassination attempt failed, and Zhou Yucheng came to the prefectural government office right after to put pressure on me, asking me to seal off the entire city and find all the white jade peace buckles in Yangzhou City for him.

I didn't agree to this, so he tried to control me by force. However, because of your reminder, the prefectural government was well prepared, and he ultimately failed. However, because he was a prince and I wasn't injured, there was nothing we could do to him. He had already left Yangzhou City overnight and was heading towards Liangzhou. However...

I don't think he'll give up easily. When I arrived, I sent people to investigate outside the city gates. I think we'll have news back in two or three hours."

Hearing this, Xiao Li looked at him with a half-smile, "This is the government's business, why are you telling me so much?"

Chu Huaiqing frowned and opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, but in the end he found that he couldn't say anything.

In fact, he didn't know what happened. When he sat opposite Xiao Li, he couldn't help but say these words.

But in fact, he didn't even think about saying these words on the way here.

Fortunately, he didn't feel embarrassed for too long. The sound of a door opening came from the next room. Yu Qingshan came out with a frown on his face and asked him, "Does this kind man have a drawing of the white jade peace locket?"

Chu Huaiqing didn't really have this, but he had heard Zhou Yucheng describe it roughly, but...

He looked at the middle-aged Taoist priest in a washed-out Taoist robe, and had some vague guesses in his mind, but he still looked at Xiao Li inquiringly.

"This is Taoist Qingshan, the disciple of Taoist Qingxu I told you about." Xiao Li first introduced Yu Qingshan, then looked at Shen Congzhou next to him and introduced him, "This is Shen Congzhou, my subordinate."

He introduced Chu Huaiqing last, "This is Chu Huaiqing, the governor of Yangzhou."

After he finished speaking, several people nodded to each other as a greeting. After all, no one was interested in chatting at this time, so they continued with the previous topic.

Chu Huaiqing described the white jade peace locket to Yu Qingshan, who then looked at Xiao Li with a frown, "Is this the jade pendant from back then?"

In fact, what he wanted to ask more was: Is the treasure of Qingshan Temple that Zhou Yucheng was looking for so much trouble the one he gave him back then?

Don't tell me, it's true.

Xiao Li originally planned to return the jade pendant to Yu Qingshan after the matter was over, but now that these things were mentioned, he did not hide it and took out the jade pendant from the space and placed it on the stone table.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the jade pendant he's looking for,"

After saying that, he pushed the jade pendant towards Yu Qingshan and said, "Now, it is returned to its original owner."

Yu Qingshan heard that Zhou Yucheng was making a fuss to find the white jade peace locket, because it was the same treasure as the Qingshan Temple. So he came out to see if Zhou Yucheng was looking for this thing. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true.

The peace locket had already served its purpose. He knew it wouldn't be of much use to Xiao Li, so he didn't ask him to keep it. He picked it up and said, "You've had it in your hands for so many years, and no news has spread about it. Why did he suddenly want to find it?"

Although this peace locket is the treasure of Qingshan Temple, Yu Qingshan does not know what other functions it has besides ensuring safety and warding off disasters.

Although Zhou Yucheng was a prince, if you really counted it, even the emperor might not know about the existence of the peace locket. How could he know about it? And why did he go to such great lengths to find it?

Xiao Li naturally wouldn't tell him why outright at this moment, and simply said, "Perhaps he knows that this jade pendant can guarantee safety, and he wants to add some protection for his trip to Liangzhou?"

Yu Qingshan: "..." Do you think I believe it?

Whether he believes it or not, this matter is over.

When Chu Huaiqing saw him take out the peace locket, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and when he looked at him again, his eyes were filled with more depth and consideration.

Xiao Li turned a blind eye to this and looked at him calmly, "So you didn't come to me so late at night just to tell me this, right?"

When he left the prefectural yamen during the day, the last thing he said was that if the other party needed help, they could come to the inn to find him.

"No." Chu Huaiqing hadn't thought of telling him these things on the way here, but he couldn't help but tell him when he saw him. Now that he was asked this question, he got down to business. "I suspect Zhou Yucheng's purpose for this trip is not simple. I plan to send a few people to Liangzhou. Since you are going to Liangzhou too, I thought you could go together."

Hearing this, Xiao Li raised his eyebrows, "Let them protect me? Or do you want me to protect them?"

"...If possible, please take good care of them while you are on the road." Chu Huaiqing didn't know what his ability was, but his intuition told him that it would be best to let the people below follow him on the road.

Hearing this overly frank answer, Xiao Li chuckled softly, thinking that he was indeed his adopted elder brother. Even in a different world, he was still so upright and selfless.

Xiao Li naturally wouldn't refuse something that was convenient for him. "Okay, we'll leave the day after tomorrow. If you can't wait, you can let them go first. If we meet on the way, I'll help if I can."

"No need, I'll just go with you." Chu Huaiqing was just worried that Zhou Yucheng would have some bad intentions, which would cause great suffering to the three northern states that were already suffering from famine.

The purpose of sending people to Liangzhou was also to keep an eye on Zhou Yucheng's movements at all times, in case something unexpected happened and Yangzhou didn't have time to take any countermeasures.

"Okay." Xiao Li nodded.

After finishing the business, Chu Huaiqing drank the cup of tea, then got up and left.

As soon as he left, Shen Congzhou saw that Yu Qingshan had something to say to Xiao Li, and he also went back to the house.

Xiao Li poured Yu Qingshan a cup of tea and said, "What do you want to say? Go ahead!"

After saying that, he had to go back to sleep with his husband and children.

Yu Qingshan had no interest in drinking tea at the moment, so he asked him directly, "Master Xiao, you should know why he is looking for this jade pendant, right? Could you tell me?"

Glancing at the other person who had returned to his middle-aged appearance, Xiao Li said speechlessly, "How long has it been since you looked in the mirror?"

His answer had nothing to do with Yu Qingshan's question, but before Yu Qingshan could react, he changed the subject again, "This is a space, about half an acre in size, where you can recognize the owner by dripping blood."

While taking out the peace locket, Xiao Li had completely severed his connection with the space. He did not touch the things Zhou Yucheng had placed in the space before, and left them all inside.

There were nothing but gold, silver, jewelry, food, ironware and other things inside, which Xiao Li had no shortage of. He had plenty in his own space, and keeping them would only increase the volume of the things piled up in the space.

Instead of taking the things away, it would be better to give them to Yu Qingshan together with the jade pendant. It seems that the other party needs these things more than himself.

Moreover, there is a famine happening right now, and natural disasters may occur in other places one after another. As the person who is mainly pushing for changing the established outcome, this space should be able to provide considerable help to the other party.

He doesn't have that much sense of responsibility to selflessly save the world, he just wants his own family to be well.

However, with Yu Qingshan's advice in mind, he would do his best to help as long as he could without revealing his own secrets.

As long as it is for his husband and children, he can also be kind-hearted.

Hearing this, Yu Qingshan's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he looked at the jade pendant in his hand in disbelief.

Of course he knew what space was. In the chaotic time and space, he had seen Young Master Xiao taking objects from the air. The place where things were stored was a space.

However, he only had a rough understanding of it. He didn't know the specific appearance of the space, and he didn't feel comfortable asking Xiao Li, for fear that the other party would misunderstand that he had some bad intentions and ruin their friendship.

Now that he holds a space in his hands, Yu Qingshan actually has a feeling of unreality, even though this jade pendant is the treasure of Qingshan Temple and something that flowed out of his hands.

Moreover, his master passed this thing to him on the day he became the young master of the temple. In his two lifetimes, a total of forty years have passed, but he has not discovered that this jade pendant has its own space.

However, this jade pendant had only been in Young Master Xiao's hands for about ten years before he learned the secret of it. It seems that whether there is fate or not does not depend on the length of time.

"Mr. Xiao, this thing is destined for you." Yu Qingshan placed the peace locket on the table and was about to push it back to him.

"Are you sure you want to give this to me? Do you know what's inside?" Xiao Li put down his teacup and looked at him with a half-smile. "Why do you think Zhou Yucheng went to such great lengths to find this thing?"

Neither of them was stupid, so Yu Qingshan quickly realized something and asked him with a frown, "Has this jade pendant ever been in Zhou Yucheng's possession?"

Because Zhou Yucheng had done those disgusting things in his previous life, Yu Qingshan had a very bad impression of him, even to the point of disgust.

Xiao Li said "hmm" as a matter of course, "What else?"

Yu Qingshan quickly realized more things, "Did Zhou Yucheng put the things in there too?"

"Yes." Xiao Li nodded slightly, "You can drip blood to recognize the master, and then you can see what is inside."

In fact, even if he couldn't hold back, Xiao Li had a way to make him see what was inside, but he didn't want to expose his ability.

It's okay that they are allies now, but no one can guarantee that they will be allies for life. Will he go to great lengths to kill people to silence them?

To be honest, Xiao Li is not bloodthirsty. Whether he kills people or destroys zombies in the apocalypse, he is basically forced to do so.

If possible, he would prefer world peace, just like China before the end of the world.

If he had a choice, he would not want to do something like killing people.

Yu Qingshan frowned and thought for a long time, and finally opened his mouth and bit his finger hard, making the fingertip bleed, then squeezed out a drop of blood and dripped it on the white jade peace locket.

Somehow, Yu Qingshan felt that he seemed to have some connection with the peace locket.

At the same time, he heard Xiao Li's voice, "Feel the space carefully."

After reminding him, Xiao Li got up and went back to his room.

When I pushed the door open, the father and his two sons were playing rock-paper-scissors.

Among them, Xiao Ruixue and Lu Yuan were the most devoted in the game. They both had the same look on their faces, showing signs of wanting to regret after losing.

Every time that happened, little Ruijing would take the initiative to ask, "How about...doesn't that just now count?"

Then the handsome father and son would nod in approval and say in unison, "Okay."

Seeing this, Xiao Li showed a doting smile in his eyes, closed the door and walked towards them.

"Daddy." Xiao Ruijing heard the noise when he opened the door. He was also the first to discover Xiao Li.

Lu Yuan then realized that he had returned and looked at him happily, "Husband, are you done with your work?"

Little Ruixue was even more direct, stretching out her hands to ask for a hug, "Daddy, hug me~"

Xiao Li did not show favoritism. He nodded and said "hmm". He walked over and first ruffled his eldest son's hair, then touched his husband's head, and finally picked up his youngest son.

After he took his hand away, little Ruijing used his short hands to tidy up his hair with an expressionless face. It was obvious that he cared a lot about dressing neatly.

Lu Yuan had long been accustomed to his occasional touching and nudging. She sat on the bed with her legs crossed, tilted her head back, and asked him curiously, "Is it Master Chu who is here? I thought I heard his voice just now."

"It's him. He came to say..." Xiao Li gave a brief account of what happened, without hiding anything or being reserved because his two sons were present.

Little Ruijing looked thoughtful, but little Ruixue didn't care at all and slowly fell asleep in his arms.

Afraid that the little guy would not sleep comfortably, Xiao Li held him and went into the space with her husband and eldest son.

When Lu Yuan heard him say that there was an assassin going to kill Chu Huaiqing, she was obviously stunned. Later she realized that what he said during the day, that Zhou Yucheng wanted to harm Chu Huaiqing, was true.

He stared at Xiao Li in disbelief. "He, he's a prince, not only did he knowingly break the law, but he also sent assassins to kill an official appointed by the imperial court? And a high-ranking official at that? "

When he came back yesterday, because he was curious about how high a position the prefect held, Xiao Li explained to him how much real power the provincial governor had.

Even high-ranking officials would be assassinated by him. They have offended Lu Youfu. If she whispers in Zhou Yucheng's ear, wouldn't they be in great danger?

Lu Yuan was worried and asked involuntarily.
