After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

"That's great, let's go now!"

After Zhong Ning finished speaking, he opened the door and strode out. Princess Zhaoyang quickly followed him happily.

Only Mo Xin stayed there, scratching the door frame, feeling extremely aggrieved: "Why don't you take this servant with you?"

Zhong Ning took Princess Zhaoyang out with him and informed Qi Yu.

Qi Yu sent eight secret guards, six to protect in secret and two to follow in public, just in case of any emergency.

Zhong Ning knew that there were secret guards, so he felt at ease to lead his men out to the street.

The weather in early autumn is a little cool.

The sun was hidden in the clouds, adding a touch of cool breeze.

It is indeed a good weather for going out for a trip.

The two of them rode in a carriage, swaying along the way, and finally stopped when they reached the middle street.

Zhong Ning took his men to the bookstore first.

He let Princess Zhaoyang stroll around the bookstore for a while, while he went into the inner room to discuss the follow-up matters with Manager Xu.

She first informed the shopkeeper that she was about to leave and handed over all the remaining manuscripts.

How to arrange subsequent serialization is his business, but the money needs to be paid first, and the amount will be distributed as dividends based on the sales of this time.

The shopkeeper took out a five-hundred-liang silver note and handed it to Zhong Ning, unable to help but sigh. "Your brother is clever and a natural at writing storybooks. I'm still waiting for his new storybook. Why is he leaving now?"

"Things are unpredictable. Anyway, thank you very much for your help during this period, Manager Xu!" Zhong Ning bowed and said, "There is one more thing I hope Manager Xu can help with."

"Girl, please speak!"

"My brother hopes to have a few complete sets of books to take back to the capital to give to his friends. I hope that Shopkeeper Xu can expedite the printing of five sets in the next two days. We will buy them at the original price!"

After saying that, Zhong Ning put down ten taels of silver and pushed it in front of Shopkeeper Xu. "The extra money is for Shopkeeper Xu's expedited payment!"

Shopkeeper Xu stroked his short beard and put the silver away. "Young lady, you can send someone to pick it up tomorrow afternoon!"

"In that case, thank you very much, shopkeeper!"

Zhong Ning bowed again, left the inner hall, and walked to the outer bookstore, where he saw Princess Zhaoyang immersed in a new storybook.

Zhong Ning smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said proudly, "Two sets of all the new stories!"

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Xu hurriedly made arrangements!

Princess Zhaoyang's eyes sparkled and she couldn't let go of the book in her hand.

The two secret guards carried the newly purchased notebooks onto the carriage.

Zhong Ning paid the money and said goodbye, and the carriage continued on its way.

"I need to find a friend to do some private business. Do you want to come with me, or let the secret guard take you to other places in the restaurant first?" Zhong Ning asked.

Princess Zhaoyang held her arm tightly and said, "I'm with my sister. I'm very obedient and won't disturb you!"

Zhong Ning nodded, "Let's go to Tianxing Academy!"

The secret guard then drove the carriage towards the academy.

She didn't know many people, Shen Yan and Fang Ping were both among them.

It’s just that Shen Yan went to the border and her life or death is unknown, while Fang Ping is her fellow villager.

This time she came to see Fang Ping out of her own selfish motives.

There's nothing I can do about it. It's her fault for being so useless and just wanting to eat something delicious.

Although she also had a portable space, most of the dishes in it were home-cooked dishes, which she would get tired of after eating too much. During this period of time, she didn't even think about the space.

But in Fang Ping's personal space was an ultra-luxury cruise ship.

A cruise ship that can host parties must have a wide variety of delicious food.

The steak I ate last time tasted very good.

Although she had never been on a cruise ship, she knew that the chefs on cruise ships were all five-star chefs, some even Michelin chefs.

How could an ordinary person like her refuse the delicious food made by such a great chef?

There was constant hawking along the street.

Zhong Ning sat in the carriage, so calm, but Princess Zhaoyang kept looking out the window.

Candied haws, osmanthus cakes, wontons, ginger fruit, autumn pear paste...

They stopped and started along the way, and the secret guards ran back and forth, but Princess Zhaoyang's little mouth never stopped, and the carriage was full of sweet taste.

Fortunately, Zhong Ning remembered that the secret guards worked hard, so he always bought food in portions for four people. Therefore, the two secret guards also ate along the way, stopping along the way. They trembled in their hearts when they saw the six secret guards hiding in the dark.

Next time, next time they will also be able to go shopping with the princess.

It is not necessary for secret guards to hide in the dark!

After an hour, the carriage finally stopped at the entrance of the academy.

Zhong Ning got off the carriage and handed a message to the guard in charge of the gate, saying that he was here to visit an old friend.

The guard glanced at her, then turned and walked straight into the courtyard. He seemed to stop a scholar nearby to ask for directions. His voice was so loud that it could be heard from a distance. "Please call Fang Ping and tell him that a young lady wants to see him!"

Zhong Ning: ………

Zhong Ning speechlessly wanted to dig the ground with his feet!

She could already imagine that the rumor would spread from person to person within the academy, and it would be completely distorted. By the time it finally reached Fang Ping's ears, it would definitely be: Fang Ping, your lover is standing at the academy gate, asking to see you...

As it turned out, Zhong Ning was still thinking too simply.

By the time this message reached Fang Ping's ears, the rumor had already spread: Your young wife, who you abandoned after having an affair with, has come to find you with her family...

There are carriages and people, so how can it not be considered bringing a family?

When Fang Ping arrived at the entrance of the academy with a bewildered look on his face, he was already followed by a group of classmates who were eager to watch the fun!

Zhong Ning: ………

Zhong Ning wanted to turn around and run away at this point. Shouldn't this academy be filled with the sound of reading aloud and filled with scholars and elegant people?

What on earth are these people standing in front of her now?

When Fang Ping saw Zhong Ning, his eyes lit up sharply.

Ever since the last time, when he had no other reason, he thought that he would have to wait ten days or half a month like last time before he could find someone by squatting at the door of the bookstore.

Less than half a month had passed, and before he had time to ambush the person, the other party had already found his door.

No, does this mean that she already knew where I was?

Fang Ping scratched his head. That was true. His reputation as the Immortal Poet had spread throughout the city some time ago, so it was normal for the other party to know about it!

"Why are you here?" Fang Ping walked forward with a smile, his voice full of excitement. "I was planning to go to the bookstore to wait for you in a couple of days!"

"I came to say goodbye to you!"

"Goodbye?" Fang Ping frowned slightly, his face anxious. "Where are you going?"

"Let's talk somewhere else. I have something personal to discuss with you!" Zhong Ning looked at the large group behind him and said in a low voice.

Fang Ping immediately understood.

This group of onlookers were so excited that they scared his fellow villagers.

I'll settle the score with them later!

"Come to my house. I recently rented a small house with two entrances. I usually stay there. It's very quiet!"

"Approximately how far?"

"It only takes a quarter of an hour to walk!"

"Hold on!"

Zhong Ning coughed lightly, walked to the car window, and said to Princess Zhaoyang, "Do you want to go to his house to play together? He has delicious food there!"
