My supermarket is connected to all worlds, and I've won so much money handing it over to the st

"It's so beautiful, is that the Old Summer Palace?"

Although it was far away, the magnificent and spectacular architecture of that complex could still be seen through the binoculars.

Especially the white houses and blue tiles that catch the eye, which look very European from a distance, tall, majestic and gorgeous. Just one glance and Gu Xixi thought of Hugo's description of it: "It is a building that makes people yearn for it, like a moonlit castle."

I heard that it imitates many famous gardens and scenic spots from all over China, especially in the Jiangnan region. Its main architectural types include palaces, halls, pavilions, terraces, towers, pavilions, verandas, corridors, verandas, studies, rooms, boats, halls, pavilions, bridges, sluices, walls, pagodas, as well as temples, Taoist temples, villages, streets, etc.

If you visit on a sunny day, you'll be overwhelmed by its beauty and reluctant to leave.

“Yes, the view I’m looking at now is the main gate of the Yuanyingguan. If we weren’t so pressed for time, I would really like to walk around the entire park and see everything.” Professor Wang’s eyes were full of longing, his gaze fascinated.

"Inside is the famous 'Myriad Flowers Maze,' a garden built in the style of a European maze, also known as the 'Yellow Flower Maze.' It features four-foot-high carved brick walls, with a white Western-style pavilion in the center. The maze is 89 meters long from north to south and 59 meters wide from east to west, with a total wall length of over 1600 meters and a height of about 1.2 meters... Every Mid-Autumn Festival night, the emperor would sit in the pavilion at the center of the maze, watching palace maids carrying lotus lanterns made of yellow silk run swiftly along the paths..."

"There is also the Humorous and Wonderful Pavilion, the first European-style water feature (fountain) in the Yuanmingyuan Garden, built in the sixteenth year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign. It was a place for the emperor to play Chinese and Western musical instruments. To the south of the pavilion is a large begonia-shaped fountain pool, which contains fountains composed of bronze sheep, bronze ducks, and Western-style stone fish with upturned tails..."

Gu Xixi could only think one thing in her mind: It must be so good to be an emperor.

Professor Wang went downstairs to get a camera to take pictures. Seeing how engrossed he was, Gu Xixi returned the binoculars to Professor Wang, went down from the roof, and walked to the supermarket in the front yard.

The special forces soldiers had all hidden themselves, leaving only Ran Qing, Chu Feng, Ren Xuan, and reporter Feng Yuan inside the room.

"We didn't expect to run into villagers so soon after we arrived. Captain Tong Yue has already taken a few men to scout out the situation in the nearby villages. Let's hold our position for now and wait for news," Chu Feng reported to Gu Xixi.

Gu Xixi nodded, "Ran Qing, Ren Xuan, and I will be responsible for keeping watch at the supermarket as usual. We'll confirm the departure time for tonight's operation when Tong Yue returns."

"Ren Xuan, you must remember to stay by my side at all times. Ran Qing, when we go out on missions, you must guard the shop and bring us back."

Many of the people living in this area are relatives of the eunuchs in charge of the Yuanmingyuan Garden. Ren Liang is very likely among them. It is an opportunity, but also a danger.

They must treat this with caution.

at the same time.

The frightened villager forgot to take his firewood back and even lost a shoe in the process. When he ran back to the village, he grabbed the nearest child and asked, "You play in the mountains all day long, have you ever seen a fair-skinned and beautiful woman who runs a department store?"

The child was about to deliver a carrying pole to his father who was working in the fields when he hurriedly shook his head, "No, Uncle, please make way for me, I'll get scolded if I'm late."

The villager let go of him and walked forward, bumping into a man wearing a dark blue robe and an official's hat.

"Lord Ren, you've come at the right time! The woods behind our village are haunted!" The villager said in a low voice, his eyes filled with fear, and quickly recounted the story.

He held the highest official position in the village and possessed some martial arts skills, which gave him the courage to investigate.

Ren Liang was on his way to Yuanmingyuan to hand over his post when he heard this and found it amusing. They were near the imperial gardens, a place even bandits wouldn't dare to come to.

ghost?

That's utter nonsense, especially in broad daylight.

Furthermore, even if a foreigner wearing a dark green shirt and white trousers came, it would be more credible than this claim.

By the way, it's not impossible, but those scoundrels are already at the city gates today, and all the soldiers have been transferred to the east side of the city... They might be spies for those scoundrels...

Ren Liang's face was solemn. "Third Uncle, call a few villagers to come with me to investigate."

If they were truly spies, he would make sure they never returned.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Ren Liang led several strong men toward the mountains behind the village. They were not tall, but their steps were light, and they were all skilled in martial arts.

Third Uncle led the way, and when they reached the vicinity of Fa Da Cai Department Store, he stopped. "That's the building over there, you see it? I'm not hallucinating, it really appeared suddenly. Go and see for yourselves, I'm right here, I dare not go any further."

Ren Liang nodded, then led the men forward.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the Fa Da Cai Department Store.

Ren Liang looked around and found that the house seemed no different from the houses in the village, but its area was as large as ten households combined.

If it was really built recently, the villagers couldn't possibly not know about it, but to be able to build such a large house overnight... could it really be a ghost or mountain spirit?

Gu Xixi came out of the house, with Ran Qing following behind her. The two of them were stunned for a moment when they saw each other's faces, and then they were pleasantly surprised.

The man in the lead had a resolute and determined look in his eyes. Although he was not tall, he was clearly a skilled fighter, and the fact that he arrived so quickly meant he must live nearby.

With a face that bears an eight-tenths resemblance to Ren Xuan, he is undoubtedly the Commander Ren Liang they are looking for.

It's really hard to find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort at all to get it.

After the two groups sized each other up, both harboring doubts about the other, Gu Xixi spoke first, "This is a department store. What do you need?"

“Young lady, where are you from? Why did you come here to open a shop? When was this department store built? I have lived in this area for many years. Your arrival is quite suspicious.”

Ren Liang asked, his gaze fixed on Gu Xixi and Ran Qing. Indeed, just as his third cousin had said, this woman resembled a noble lady or a princess from a royal family.

"You must be Commander Ren Liang. I am Gu Xixi, the shopkeeper of this shop. I come from a reclusive family. I came to help when I learned of the trouble in the secluded place. I can answer all your questions, but please come inside for a chat, just you alone."

It's hard to explain when there are too many people.

The men behind Ren Liang disagreed. Everything was too suspicious; it would be dangerous for him to go alone.

But when Ren Liang raised his hand, everyone fell silent.

He was not afraid of two women, who were just reclusive masters. He nodded and followed Gu Xixi into the department store.

The energy-saving lights inside the department store illuminated the room, making it bright and airy, like a palace filled with luminous pearls. Even though he had been guarding the royal gardens for many years, there were still many things he had never seen before.

Although I've never seen it before, many of the things are Western in style... but these two women look Han Chinese...

His gaze was questioning, and he immediately distanced himself from Gu Xixi and Ran Qing.
