"Beichuan, what are you saying?"

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

Seeing how serious he was, Long Aotian couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"My lord, what are you laughing at?" Jiang Beichuan, still sulking, plopped down on the steps outside the courtyard gate, crossed his arms, and said, "My lord, I'm naturally happy for you that you've gained Commander Dong's favor and have the opportunity for promotion. But why didn't you tell me? Are you planning to leave without saying goodbye?!"

Upon hearing this, Long Aotian sat down beside him without hesitation, put his arm around his shoulder, and said, "Is that really what you think? You only have blessings for me, and not a trace of displeasure?"

"Of course!" Jiang Beichuan stubbornly refused to admit it.

"Alright, then it seems I misunderstood you." Long Aotian nodded and said with a smile, "But now that you know, it doesn't matter, does it?"

Upon hearing Long Aotian's words, Jiang Beichuan could no longer sit still.

He stood up and said, "My lord! I..."

Jiang Beichuan was about to say something, but remembering what he had just said, he became embarrassed and held back...

"Oh, alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore." Seeing that this guy would get annoyed if he continued teasing him, Long Aotian quickly said, "It's like this, before Master Dong left last time, he asked me about this matter."

"She originally gave me her waist token, allowing me to leave whenever I wanted to have sex. I originally said I would think about it carefully before giving an answer, so after discussing it with my wife at home, I felt that Jingcheng was quite good, at least it would be a good place to stay away from the oppression of those people from the Zhenye Division."

“Besides, with Master Dong protecting me in Jingcheng, I should be able to live a more comfortable life there than here, so I thought I should go.” Long Aotian said, deliberately slapping his thigh, “But after thinking about it carefully, it seems like I’ve forgotten something.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Beichuan nodded repeatedly, his eyes burning with enthusiasm, and said, "Yes, yes!"

Long Aotian patted his shoulder and said, "So when I thought about it, I realized something was wrong. I should bring Beichuan along!"

Jiang Beichuan nodded emphatically, his eyes shining. "My lord, you...you really want to take me with you to Jingcheng?!"

Looking at the excited child, Long Aotian quickly pressed him down again and said, "Yes, that's why I wrote a letter to Lord Dong to ask his opinion. If he agrees, I'll bring you along."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Beichuan happily clasped his hands in greeting and said, "My lord, I knew you were a man of great loyalty and righteousness, and you would never abandon Beichuan!"

Long Aotian smiled slightly and said, "But don't be too happy yet, the Dong family may not agree."

After hearing Long Aotian's words, Jiang Beichuan became less concerned about whether or not he could go to the capital.

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you go to Beichuan or not. Your words are enough!"

Seeing how sensible the young man was, Long Aotian patted him on the shoulder and immediately promised, "Okay, don't worry, Beichuan. Even if I can't take you there this time, if I make a name for myself in the future, I will definitely bring you to Jingcheng!"

"Thank you, sir!"

As time was running out, Long Aotian's stomach began to rumble with hunger.

I woke up this morning and was so busy arguing with someone that I didn't even have time to eat.

"Oh, Lord Shen, you've finally arrived." At Ruyi Restaurant, Manager Jin was still very enthusiastic when he saw Long Aotian. "How was last night? Did your sister-in-law scold you this morning?"

"No, no, my wife is very virtuous!" After Long Aotian transmigrated, he was actually not comfortable with anything.

In particular, many entertainment activities and a wide variety of street food have been lost.

Even the video games he usually enjoys playing, and some videos that require payment to watch, are not available here now!

What a terrible thing to do!

Moreover, and more importantly, without air conditioning, it's uncomfortable to sleep anywhere!

The only thing keeping him here was his beautiful wife.

Every morning when he wakes up and sees her preparing breakfast for him in the kitchen, or when he comes home and sees her still waiting for him, he feels that it's all worth it!

“By the way, I thought about it when I got home yesterday. When you asked me about that matter yesterday, I seem to remember some things.” Manager Jin moved between Long Aotian and Jiang Beichuan and said, “A great philanthropist has recently appeared in our Qianzhou City.”

"What great philanthropist?" Lin Chuan asked, somewhat puzzled.

“In our city, there’s a Xuanhuang Temple. Inside, there’s a female bodhisattva who wears a silk skirt and a light veil and provides free medical care to the poor!” Shopkeeper Jin said. “I’ve heard that she’s very skilled in medicine. Aren’t you interested in medicinal herbs? Perhaps you could ask her and find something useful.”

"Oh, Manager Jin is so kind." Long Aotian was naturally very good at interpersonal relationships. Since Manager Jin had gone to such lengths, he immediately took out a silver ingot worth ten taels of silver and stuffed it into his hand, asking him to bring some more good wine and food.

Manager Jin initially tried to refuse, but in reality, his squinty eyes never left the silver ingot in Long Aotian's hand.

Having done his duty, he accepted the silver ingots without hesitation.

Fine wine and food were quickly served, and Jiang Beichuan asked at this moment, "Sir, what exactly did you ask him about?"

"Perfect timing, that's exactly what I was thinking of telling you." Upon hearing this, Long Aotian immediately recounted what he and Luo Hongyan had discussed yesterday.

"Huh?" Jiang Beichuan's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. "The Seven Star Grass used by the Emperor to cure his illness?!"

"Shh, keep your voice down," Long Aotian scolded him, "Do you want everyone in the restaurant to hear you?!"

“But, this…” Jiang Beichuan was too shocked. “No wonder that eunuch gave you five hundred taels of silver without saying a word. So that’s why…”

"So, are we really going to join forces with Chief Inspector Luo to intercept them now?"

"Of course," Long Aotian nodded. "Whoever gets the Seven Star Grass will rise to prominence quickly. Perhaps at that time, we can go directly to Jingcheng to become officials and live a life of comfort and ease!"

"What are the specific plans?"

"Don't worry about that, Chief Inspector Luo and I have already discussed it," Long Aotian said. "I'll go with them, and you and Chief Inspector Luo will lie in ambush outside the city. Once they're off guard, we'll launch a surprise attack!"

"Okay, no problem!" Jiang Beichuan clenched his fist and slammed it on the table.

“However, this matter is a bit dangerous, and you know my current situation.” Long Aotian looked at him and said, “Could you teach me a trick now so that I can deal with any threats I may encounter?”

"Hiss, well..." Jiang Beichuan looked at Long Aotian with some concern and said, "Sir, your old injuries haven't healed yet. How can we let you do such a dangerous thing? Why don't I do it instead!"
