Chapter 311: Farewell
speak, Xiao Changyue covered her mouth. "Don't talk nonsense! Don't you see where we are!"Xiao Yunqin reluctantly shut her mouth, but her eyes still held a resentment. It was unclear how much of that...In the evening, Mr. Zhou sent Xiao Fan's recipe over and also gave Qin Luoyan a bottle of elixir that he claimed could cure common poisons. After all, even though this trip to the border seemed risk-free, no one could guarantee what might happen in the future.
Mr. Zhou also took this opportunity to say goodbye to Qin Luoyan. After all, he was willing to stay in the weapons workshop for a longer time just to treat Xiao Fan. Now that Xiao Fan is also going to the border, he no longer needs to stay in the weapons workshop.
When Mr. Zhou left, Qin Luoyan had several times wanted to ask about Shí's situation, but she still didn't speak up. Although she liked the boy Shí, she also knew that Shí was after all a member of Yin Qi's camp. Even if their feelings were good, their positions were different, and some things would be gone forever.
When dawn broke, Qin Luoyan tidied up and headed to the assembly point outside the weapons workshop. Her only consolation was that she had seen Fu Zimu and Xiao Yujing yesterday. Being able to see them before leaving fulfilled a wish she had.
However, every time she thought of Xiao Yijing, pain would grip her heart. She feared that there was no mother in the world who was as cruel as she was. From the moment Xiao Yijing was born until now, she had not fulfilled even a single responsibility of a mother. She didn't even dare to think about what would happen someday, whether Xiao Yijing would develop estrangement from her because of this.
In the study of Prince Wu Xuan's mansion, a servant knelt on one knee and reported to Fu Zi Mo about the movements of the armory. After listening, Fu Zi Mo frowned involuntarily and asked: "Are you sure that there is still stock of Gengjin in the armory"
He nodded and said, "Although that old man in charge of the warehouse kept things hidden well, I personally checked the inventory of gold. If it's used as usual, it should be enough for two or three months."
Fu Zimu fell silent for a moment, then let out a soft hum and said, "It seems Li Yunfan is so eager to go to the place where gengjin is produced, it's not really for buying gengjin. I just don't know what his purpose is."
The one kneeling served silently, a questioning look in their eyes, "That Prince, we..."
“Continue following them.” Fu Zi Mo paused, then added, “Also, have a few of Ni Wan’s people go with you. They are skilled in martial arts and it is imperative to guarantee the safety of the consort.”
The attendant was startled for a moment, there was some surprise in his eyes, but he immediately took the order.
In the dead of night, the wind was cold and the moon bright. Tiny flakes of snow swirled incessantly in the air.
Qin Luoyan was half asleep when she suddenly heard some movement outside her window. She hesitated for a moment, then got up and wrapped herself in a cloak before going to the window.
Open the window, and you'll see a homing pigeon perched on the windowsill. Snow still clings to its wings, as if it had been flying in the light snow all night before arriving here, looking utterly exhausted.
Qin Luoyan's lips curled into a smile, and she quickly took down the small bamboo tube from the carrier pigeon.
"Safe journey, don't forget me." Eight characters, the handwriting was elegant yet carried a domineering seven points. The moment she saw it, she knew it was written by Fu Zimo.
She felt a little sweet inside, but couldn't help muttering, "Don't forget to think of me. Why isn't it that you don't forget to think of me You're still as domineering as ever!"
Because she had Fu Zi Mo's carrier pigeon, Qin Luo Yan felt much more at ease when she returned to bed. However, in the blink of an eye, she fell into a deep sleep.
This trip to the border was led by Li Yunfan, accompanied by a dozen guards to ensure everyone's safety. Adding six artisans and their assistants, the entire party numbered in the dozens. This was just for the journey there; when returning, soldiers would be dispatched from the border to escort them due to the transportation of gold.
When it came to assigning carriages, Qin Luoyan proactively went in the direction of Xiao Fan. She didn't mind other people's gazes and frankly stated that she had admired Xiao for a long time and wanted to spend more time with him to learn from him. The other craftsmen who were slightly older naturally wouldn't argue with her, so they each temporarily formed their own carriages.
Li Yunfan's carriage was at the front of the procession. He lifted the curtain, intending to order his guard to fetch Qin Luo'yan. Before he could speak, however, he saw Qin Luo'yan climbing onto Xiao Fan's carriage. Her face darkened with displeasure, and she slammed the curtain shut in a huff.
Old Liu also got on the carriage with Qin Luoyan. Towards the Xiao family, he was polite and courteous. In his view, anyone Qin Luoyan respected deserved his respect. However, the old man who claimed to be the father of the Xiao family looked down on both Qin Luoyan and Old Liu from beginning to end, with a superior air in his eyes and eyebrows.
Along the way, Qin Luoyan took very good care of Xiao Fan. She did everything from offering tea and water to adding clothes and serving dishes. By Xiao Fan's side, she seemed like a real maidservant.
When asked why she was so diligent, she always smiled and said, "Master Xiao's skills are something I deeply admire. If I don't work hard to serve Master Xiao, how can I hope to receive his guidance"
Perhaps because she spoke with such conviction, people gradually came to believe her story, even though Qin Luoyan had never actually asked Xiao Fan any questions. On the other hand, the old man with white beard seemed quite pleased with Qin Luoyan's attentiveness. Every time he invoked Xiao Fan's name, he would not hesitate to instruct Qin Luoyan on matters from their past.
Seven days later, the caravan finally arrived at the first major city after leaving Phoenix Ridge. The caravan entered the city to replenish supplies for daily needs and settled in the most luxurious inn in the city as the sun began to set.
While everyone else was fine, Li Yunfan seemed to be used to the life of a rich young master and had never thought about humbling himself. Upon entering the inn, he booked an entire courtyard for himself and chose the best private room in the courtyard.
There are many rooms in the courtyard, enough to accommodate dozens of people at the same time. In a corner of the courtyard, there is also a stable, which is convenient for guests to park their carriages and so on.
Qin Luoyan naturally chose a room right next to Xiao Fan's. As soon as she entered the inn, she rushed into the kitchen and drew hot water for Xiao Fan, preparing to help him bathe.
Li Yunshan's guards had bought him some fresh fruit. He was just about to take some to give to Qin Luoyan when he saw Qin Luoyan rushing into Xiao Fan's room carrying a bucket of hot water. He was taken aback and pulled on Lao Liu, who was feeding the horse in the corner, asking, "What is she doing going to Xiao Fan's room with a bucket of hot water"
Old Liu followed his gaze and glanced, “Oh, you’re talking about this Xiao Da Jia takes a bath many times every evening. She's probably preparing to give Xiao Da Jia a bath.”
"Wash, take a bath" Li Yunfan thought he had misheard. His throat rolled, and he asked again, "You mean Qin Feng helped Xiao Jia wash She personally helped her bathe"
