My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 160 I'll Go Meet Her

"Hmph, I've had people thoroughly investigate the Han family, the Chang family, and the Cheng family. Did you think I only asked one person?"

Xin Wenyuan glanced cautiously at his brother-in-law, "Brother, Xiao Lan and I are doing great now."

"I was foolish before and failed to provide a good life for my wife and children. I will definitely not do that again."

Xie Hui glanced at him coldly.

After getting to know this good-for-nothing brother-in-law, I found that he has changed quite a bit along the way.

I wonder if it was because of the huge changes in my family that I suddenly grew up.

He'd better be like this, still acting like he used to, cockfighting, dog walking, and loafing around. I'll break his dog's legs.

Actually, Xiao Lan is just stubborn. Otherwise, according to Xie Hui's opinion, they should have divorced this spoiled brat ten years ago.

"Sit down and tell me in detail what happened along the way."

"Let me go in and see. How is Brother Yanxi?"

"You bunch of lackeys, you're blocking my way again." Su Liuli gave a signal, and immediately two guards stepped forward and forcefully dragged the two guards at the gate.

Su Liuli entered with two maids. "Brother Yanxi, I've come to see you. How are you? Does your head still hurt? I had Xiaohui stew some tonics for you. Drink some to replenish your qi and blood."

“Lingluo”.

Yan Xi, with her back to the door, was bent over writing something with a pen. Upon hearing the sound, she didn't turn her head but only coldly called out.

Ling Luo strolled out from the inner room, grinned, and gave Su Liuli a polite smile. "Princess, would you like to go out by yourself, or would you like me to throw you out?"

"Lingluo," Su Liuli said, furious, "Don't forget who your master is."

Ling Luo raised an eyebrow. "How come I remember that I'm a free person? Could it be that the county princess received my indenture in her dream?"

Yan Xi paused slightly as she held the pen. "If you want to chat with her, go outside and talk to her."

Ling Luo pursed her lips, darted forward, and raised her hand.

Su Liuli screamed in alarm, "Don't touch me! I'm warning you. I just came to deliver some tonics and snacks to Brother Yanxi. Why are you pushing me? I'll walk by myself."

Before Su Liuli could finish shouting, Lingluo swept her and her two maids out of the house.

With a "bang," the door to the side room slammed shut right in front of them.

The door panel nearly hit Su Liuli's nose, making her tremble with rage.

Ling Luo walked back to the table, casually pulled up a chair and sat down. "Are you hiding something from me?"

Yan Xi put the finished letter into an envelope, sealed it with sealing wax, and casually handed it to Ling Luo, saying, "Give this to His Highness."

"Me??" Ling Luo glanced at him disapprovingly, reluctantly taking the letter. "What about you?"

"I'm fine. I'll stay at the inn for a while and wait for news."

“No, those good-for-nothings outside can’t even beat the county magistrate’s guards.” Ling Luo refused bluntly. “If something happens to you, I won’t be able to explain it to the Prince of Jin.”

"I made a solemn promise that I would do everything I could to ensure your safety."

Yan Xi turned to look at him, a half-smile on her face, "Are you afraid I'll run away?"

"Not exactly." Ling Luo tossed the light letter in her hand. "I keep my word. What I promise, I must do."

"Don't worry about the letter. I'll find a reliable person to send it back to Xishan County."

"However... with so much wealth lost, including the newly built ship, we certainly won't be able to explain this to the Prince of Jin."

"You need to be mentally prepared. If he receives this letter, he will only have two reactions."

"First, they'll summon you back immediately. Second... they'll probably send a trusted confidant to investigate you."

Yan Xi was silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you think it's necessary for Prince Jin to fight his way back to Shengjing from Xishan County to find the city completely deserted, given the current situation?"

“Brother, but we have lost quite a few things. His Highness will not be indifferent to this.”

"Even if he doesn't fight his way back to the capital, as long as he keeps those things, he can always make a comeback..."

"He doesn't lack supplies in Xishan County either," Yan Xi said casually. "So you mean... we won't pursue this?" Ling Luo looked at him with curiosity. "Speaking of which, you haven't told me yet, did those people you sent to the city gate find out anything?"

"Ah."

"Hmm, what does that mean?" Ling Luo didn't want to talk to this kid.

You can't get a clear answer from three questions!
It's so hard to talk to him, he's so weird and annoying...

"She's inside the governor's mansion, so he can't do anything to her."

"Her? The woman who took all the supplies from the village?"

Yan Xi fell silent again.

With difficulty, Ling Luo took a breath and said patiently, "The governor's mansion isn't some dangerous place. Tell me her name, and I'll go see her."

"do not know."

"After all this talk, you don't even know her name? Then draw her. I'll go to the governor's mansion to get my things back."

Yan Xi gave him a strange look. "I'll draw her? Why would I draw her?"

He was still drawing! He was angry that he couldn't forget the woman's appearance; when she appeared in his dreams, he could even clearly see the angry expression on her face.

He had nothing better to do than draw her.

“You don’t know the other person’s name?” Ling Luo argued. “How am I supposed to sneak in and find them if you don’t draw them?”

"The other party is a spatial magic user. And their level of magic isn't low either. Are you going to walk right into their trap?"

Ling Luo looked at her with disbelief, "You think I can't beat a woman?"

Anyway, I couldn't control her.

“Just because you haven’t beaten her doesn’t mean I can’t.” Ling Luo followed behind him, “Hurry up and draw her. I’m going to find her.”

"you!"

Yan Xi didn't know what to say to him.

Blind self-confidence is never a good thing.

Yan Xi finally couldn't stand being bothered by him any longer, so she spread out a piece of drawing paper and drew the crazy woman.

He only glanced at it, and immediately felt a needle-like pain in his arm.

A wave of nausea washed over him, and he abruptly got up and ran to the inner room to dry heave.

Linglu was speechless.

He picked up the portrait and examined it carefully, then said quite frankly, "She's a very pretty girl, why did you vomit at the drawing?"

Linglu folded the drawing paper and stuffed it into her bosom, then called out to the person inside, "Don't worry about this. I'll get back to you in a few days."

"I'll send someone to deliver the message first."

Yan Xi walked out of the inner room, her face pale and weak.

He clutched his throbbing arm, cold sweat beading on his forehead, and slammed heavily onto the bed.

Xin Nian didn't rest after finishing her meal. She took out the square wooden box and had her parents and brothers try it, but there was no response.

She carried the wooden box back to her room and sat down, glancing out the window as if sensing something.

A sparrow fluttered its wings, wobbled past the eaves, and flew away in a hurry.

"Tsk tsk." So eager to see her?

Xin Nian closed the wooden box and disappeared into the room.

In a moment, she appeared on the roof of the south side of the governor's mansion, and following a faint, almost imperceptible aura, she sped towards a certain place in the city.

Many people in the city gathered under the notice board, discussing the matter animatedly.
