The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability
Chapter 689 Almost betrayed
Upon hearing Li Liuyun's words, Nangong Li grasped Li Liuyun's hand, his face full of guilt: "Seventeen, it's all my fault. I've made you suffer all this way with me. If it weren't for me, because of Bei Li, you would still be at home, carefree, enjoying good food and drink. You wouldn't have had to come with me on this long and arduous journey! You might even have been in danger!"
Li Liuyun was just joking and making a few remarks, but he didn't expect Nangong Li to take it seriously.
Li Liuyun smiled and said, "Yes, of course it's because of you that I followed you to the Southern Frontier, but it's not your fault! Isn't it because the throne belongs to our family? The world of Beili belongs to the Nangong family."
And since you're the Emperor's chosen successor, rounding it off, this is basically a family matter. Isn't it only right that I help you? Don't try anything funny with me."
Hearing Li Liuyun's words, Nangong Li knew that Li Liuyun was trying to comfort him, and nodded with a smile: "That's right, who told our family to inherit the throne? If you work hard now, all the gold and silver treasures in the national treasury will be yours in the future!"
Seeing the smile return to Nangong Li's face, Li Liuyun pinched Nangong Li's chin and said, "Nangong Li, remember this: everything I've done isn't just for this throne, but more for the common people. However, because you are the future emperor of Beili, and you are my person, I can't stand idly by. So if you feel guilty, just be a wise ruler in the future!"
Nangong Li nodded: "Seventeen, you can rest assured about that. With you by my side, it would be difficult for me to be a tyrant!"
Li Liuyun smiled and nodded: "That makes sense!"
As the two were talking, there was a knock at the door, and the innkeeper's voice rang out: "Master, a security escort agency has come downstairs saying that someone has asked them to come to your room to pick up a shipment!"
Nangong Li said, "I sent them. Bring them up."
"Yes, sir, I'll go down right away and have someone come up!" The shopkeeper said, then turned and went downstairs.
Li Liuyun thought for a moment, then waved his hand to put all the items in the box into his spatial storage. He then added some stones to the box and sealed it completely.
After Li Liuyun finished doing all this, Nangong Li opened the door, and An Yi and Wushuang also took the two children upstairs. It turned out that An Yi and Wushuang had heard a group of people coming to their master's room in the backyard, so they took the children upstairs as well!
Wushuang let An Yi take the two children into their room, while she went to Nangong Li's room and asked, "Master, is there anything I can help you with?"
Nangong Li shook his head: "No need. I thought it wouldn't be very convenient to keep these things here, so I asked the escort agency to send them back first. Otherwise, we would have to carry these things all the way. It's too troublesome and too conspicuous."
Wushuang nodded: "The master's consideration is indeed thorough!" A moment later, the manager led the people from the escort agency upstairs.
After Nangong Li paid the deposit to the escort agency, he pointed out the boxes to them one by one. The people from the escort agency saw that all the boxes were sealed and made of mahogany, which showed that they were all valuable items.
After the handover was completed, the people brought by the escort agency carried away the boxes. Judging from their pace, Wushuang secretly guessed: these boxes seemed to be much heavier than when they carried them upstairs before. Even those big, burly men seemed to be struggling to carry them. Perhaps the princess had already moved the valuables there to another place!
Ever since Wushuang discovered that Li Liuyun could conjure items out of thin air, she secretly guessed that her princess might possess a treasure pouch capable of storing many things. This gift of gratitude must have already been placed in that pouch; judging by how much effort these people were putting into carrying it, it might have already been replaced with stones.
Wushuang watched as these people carried the boxes downstairs, hoping that nothing went wrong and they would be knocked over. He wondered if his wish had come true or if he was just being a jinx.
Just as Wushuang finished thinking, one of the bodyguards carrying the box at the very back accidentally twisted his ankle, his hand slipped, and the box was about to roll down the stairs.
Nangong Li and Li Liuyun were startled. Just as Nangong Li was about to make a move, Wushuang moved swiftly beside him, leaving a blur in her wake. Amidst the gasps of the crowd, Wushuang managed to catch the box that was about to roll down the stairs.
Nangong Li and Li Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Wushuang catch the box. Luckily, the box didn't roll downstairs. If it had, and everyone was watching, they wouldn't know how to explain that the box contained a stone.
Wushuang caught the box and breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness I caught it. Otherwise, if the box had broken and the contents had rolled out, and instead of gold and silver jewelry, it was just some stones, what would people think?"
When the bodyguards saw Wushuang help take the box out, they quickly stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your help, young brother. Your martial arts are extraordinary. I truly admire you."
"Luckily, a young man stepped in today; otherwise, if the box had been broken and the men in front of us injured, this entire delivery would have been a waste, and I might even have had to pay compensation!"
Wushuang handed the box in her hand to the two bodyguards who had followed her: "Be careful, luckily my master only has some durable raw stones in this box. If it were antique jade, it would probably have been broken long ago. Not to mention your escort mission, you probably couldn't afford to pay for it even if you sold your escort agency!"
The two bodyguards carrying the box apologized repeatedly, and Nangong Li then said, "It's alright, just be careful!"
Originally, Li Liuyun planned to have Nangong Li stay in the room while the镖局 (escort agency) came to move the things, but he didn't expect the镖局 to be so fast. Now he had no choice but to take Nangong Li downstairs to find the manager. Afterwards, he wrote out a prescription and asked the waiter to get some medicine. Once the medicine was brought back, he was to take it directly to the small kitchen in the backyard.
The shopkeeper took the prescription, glanced at the quantity, and immediately instructed the waiter to get the carriage on and go buy the medicine!
After about two cups of tea's time, the waiter drove the carriage, carrying the medicine he had bought, to the small kitchen in the backyard. Wushuang helped the waiter carry the medicine into the kitchen.
Seeing that Nangong Li had already started a fire under the stove, Wushuang found it amusing. As the legitimate son of the current emperor and empress, he was actually starting a fire under the stove. If others saw this, they would be shocked.
So Wushuang spoke up: "Master, would you like me to stay and help you?"
As soon as Wushuang finished speaking, Nangong Li and Li Liuyun's voices rang out simultaneously.
"No need!"
"Need not!"
Upon hearing this, Wushuang exclaimed, "Alright! It seems that the prince also knows the master's secret. In that case, he won't stay here and hinder their operations. He'll go and keep watch for them not far away, in case any fool suddenly barges in!"
