An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

That day, everyone had lunch and dinner together. However, the eldest and youngest seemed to be acting strangely. Everything they did seemed off, but they couldn't quite put their finger on why.

They had originally planned to enter the inner city by climbing over the wall at night, but due to an unexpected discovery, they had to enter at dusk, before the city gates closed. Furthermore, they entered with open arms and were treated very kindly.

During lunch, Jing Chunxi felt the jade pendant on her chest was a little stuck, uncomfortable. She reached out and touched it, and found that the pendant was turned inside out. She was about to put it back in place when Jing Yi noticed it.

Jing Yi's gaze fell on the jade token on her chest, with a hint of doubt and curiosity in his eyes.

"Where did you get this jade token?" Jing Yi said as he extended his hand. His intention was obvious: he wanted to take a closer look.

Jing Chunxi was slightly taken aback, then reacted. She knew Jing Yi's personality. Since he wanted to see it, then let him see it. There was nothing to hide, and Jing Chunxi didn't hide it. She took the jade pendant from her head and handed it to Jing Yi.

It was a white jade plaque, slightly tinged with yellow, and looked quite old. As Jing Yi flipped it over and over in his hands, he felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if it were something he had seen before.

The words engraved on the jade plaque were a bit strange, and it was obvious that it was written in an ancient font. Jing Yi felt that he had copied it before, but he couldn't remember when. He racked his brains but couldn't figure out what the words were.

Unable to recall, Jing Yi finally threw the question to Jing Chunxi: "Did the prince tell me what this is used for? What are the words on it?"

Jing Chunxi secretly admired his master in his heart. His master knew that this was something given by Xu Zize without even asking. It was indeed powerful.

Jing Chunxi felt a little proud when she spoke of this. Ever since she knew that the black jade was a token of the descendants of the Tao family, she had refused to keep it. When she accepted the black jade, it was mainly because she wasn't that familiar with Xu Zize and was greedy for money, saying it was to pay for silver.

But since I know that it is so important to Xu Zize and is also a token of remembrance for his loved ones, naturally I cannot take it away from him.

Xu Zize hadn't wanted to take it back, having said that once something was given away, it couldn't be taken back. But Jing Chunxi was stubborn and insisted on not taking it. So he gave her the jade pendant in exchange.

The jade pendant was made of Hetian white jade, an old, square piece. One could tell at a glance that its quality was no worse than black jade, and Jing Chunxi felt she had made a good deal. However, Xu Zize hadn't told her the origins of the jade.

"It's his last name. They said it was written in the same way as our ancestors did. They didn't say anything else." Jing Chunxi answered with a hint of regret in his tone, as if he felt a little sorry for not knowing more about the jade plaque.

Jing Chunxi's answer did not disappoint Jing Yi. Instead, it made him, the leader of the Iron Eagle Camp, smell something.

His eyes flickered slightly as he began to think seriously about it.

As dusk approached, the number of nobles and officials eager to enter the inner city had decreased. The streets were deserted, with only a few figures hurried along.

Jing Yi, dressed in a dark formal suit embroidered with gold thread, looked exceptionally majestic. Riding alongside his chestnut horse was Jing Chunxi, wearing a light, pink court dress, her clothes fluttering gently in the wind, making her look particularly graceful. Xiao Man, wearing the same riding habit as Jing Yi, rode a shorter silver colt, appearing a bit naive. Behind them followed two guards on black steeds, their backs erect, looking majestic.

Dressed like this, they weren't stopped when they arrived at the city gate, though the guards, perhaps unfamiliar with them, kept a close eye on them. Jing Yi didn't lead the charge, but simply passed the jade token on his waist quickly in front of the leading guard.

The jade token was only flashed before them for a moment, and the soldiers immediately stood at attention. The seventh-rank military officer leading the group looked extremely respectful and even greeted Jing Yi, "Master, you're back."

Jing Yi nodded slightly in response. Jing Chunxi thought to himself: Is it that easy? Things from the royal family are so useful! There's no need to wait until the dead of night to climb over the wall and get in.

But this time, the equipment that several people bought was all made of the best fabrics in the capital, and the ready-made clothes were snatched from others. They cost nearly a thousand taels of silver, and Jing Chunxi was heartbroken.

She looked at her clothes and secretly calculated the cost in her heart. Although there was a lot of gold and silver in the space now, she felt very painful when she thought about how much food a thousand taels of silver could be exchanged for and how many people could be saved.

She secretly cursed the royal family for their extravagant lifestyle and their disregard for the suffering and lives of the people.

What they didn't know was that after they had successfully driven in and completely disappeared, the soldiers guarding the gate were still talking behind them.

"This gentleman is handsome and has a good appearance. His daughter is also beautiful, dignified and charming like him. But his son looks..." A soldier spoke first, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

Another soldier immediately joined in, sighing, "It's just average, not at all like that master."

"It's just that this gentleman looks unfamiliar, and I don't know which palace he is from." Another soldier interrupted, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Who cares which family he belongs to? Look at his appearance. Apart from the royal family, who would dare to recognize him?"

The leading military officer retorted a few words to them, and the soldiers stopped talking.
