Are you crazy?Madame, you are actually the leader of the Demon Cult

Chapter 17
The next day.

Uncle Chen, who had always been in charge of the jade business in Xiao's residence, suddenly received news that the Luo family in Zhongzhou had quite a few jade mines, and he was asking Xiao Lingyun if he had any other plans.

The jade in the Xiao Mansion is not actually owned by the Xiao family, but the jade area he dug belongs to the imperial court, so part of the jade that was dug up also belongs to the imperial court.

It is not easy to distribute these jades to the court, so the Xiao family can only pay a certain amount of money to the court every year, and the court will do this, allowing the Xiao family to continue mining without incident.

For the same reason, the Luo family in Zhongzhou is the same as them.

As long as the price is right, after talking with the court, they can pay a certain amount every year and let them turn a blind eye.

But at this moment, a clear and crisp system notification sound suddenly sounded from Xiao Lingyun's mind.

The content of this mission was to ask Xiao Lingyun to go to Zhongzhou to sign in.

Since the system intends to ask him to go to Zhongzhou, he has no choice but to go to Luo's house to discuss the jade business together, which can be regarded as obeying God's will.

Just before Xiao Lingyun was about to leave for Zhongzhou, Qin Siyi personally went to the gate of Xiao's residence to see him off. Naturally, she felt reluctant, and her eyes were reddened by the brief separation.

"Husband, you must be careful on this trip, and don't provoke some people from the world."

"It's June weather today. When you sleep at night, you should pay attention to mosquitoes, rats and ants. The quilts and curtains must be covered at all times."

"If you feel tired on the road, you can find an inn to rest for a while. Remember, do what you can. I heard from Chunlan that the second son of the Lin family hadn't slept for several nights a few days ago. Unfortunately, he suffered from heatstroke and passed out on the spot.”

"If there are some robbers who burn, kill, and plunder come rushing towards our property and jade, just give it to him. You must not confront them and fight with your long sword."

"You must remember..."

"and……"

Seeing Qin Siyi yelling like this, Xiao Lingyun smiled wryly at the endless instructions, "I see, ma'am, I can't continue talking, besides, I can't leave today."

"Well, the concubine will stop nagging. You must remember what you just said, and wait for you to come back safely!"

Only then did Xiao Lingyun say a word, then got into a sedan chair, and left Tianrun City with the Xiao family's caravan.

Slowly looking at Xiao Lingyun's back, and gradually moving away from sight, Qin Siyi's reddened eyes couldn't stop, tears flowed down, and she was about to cry on the spot.

"Ma'am, why are you crying?" Seeing this, Chunlan asked in confusion.

"This time when my husband went out to discuss, it was the longest period of time between me and him. I may not be able to see him again for several months. I don't know what to do."

Hearing this, Chunlan had no choice but to comfort her, "If Madam is worried, you can ask the young master to bring Madam to the meeting together, don't you think this will stop thinking about it?"

Qin Siyi shook her head decisively and said, "No, absolutely not."

"Nowadays there is no woman who goes out to do business with her husband. Wouldn't it be a joke if people knew about it? Even if I don't care what outsiders think, I still have to take my husband's face into consideration."

Hearing this, Chunlan smiled slightly, "In that case, madam, why don't you ask Chunlan to go shopping with you, how about venting your emotions?"

"Ok!"

A group of people from the Xiao family left Tianrun City very quickly, but Xiao Lingyun suddenly changed to say that he wanted to ride a white horse to go there, so he took a step first.

But in fact, he is using his own lightness skill instead of riding a horse.

Because if he can save the time spent on the journey, he can also go back to accompany his wife as soon as possible.

In this way, he exercised his own internal force and turned it into a stream of white light, and at a fast speed, it spanned a distance of hundreds of feet.

With this speed, it can save a lot of time on the journey, and it will be able to reach Zhongzhou soon.

The distance from Taiqingzhou to Zhongzhou is a full 49 miles. If you use the traditional method to ride a white horse, it will take about seven to seventy-nine days. If you use light work instead of the road, it will only take a week at most. .

It was almost noon, and now Xiao Lingyun had already arrived in Jeju City. Even if he used light work instead of the road, he would feel tired on the road, so he found an inn here to rest for a while, and after drinking tea, he continued on his way.

After arriving in Jeju City, he found a well-regulated inn, and he was greeted by the enthusiasm of the store's waiter, who was flattering Xiao Lingyun in every way.

Xiaoer with a hippie smile said enthusiastically, "The guest officer is a foreigner, right? Looking at your face, you are not from our Jeju city?"

"Yo ho, look at your sharp eyes!"

"Bring me the best meat and vegetables in your store, preferably with a pot!"

"Okay, sir, wait a moment, the food and drinks will be here soon."

The place where Xiao Lingyun was sitting was on the second floor of the inn by the window. After ordering food and drinks, the waiter went to work outside.

The business of this inn is quite lively, there is a lot of traffic at the door, and the guests coming and going are noisy. In this inn, there are all kinds of people, some scholars and people from the rivers and lakes with swords!
Most of the customers in this inn are people who are on a long journey and taking a break.

But these will not affect Xiao Lingyun's rest here. After he finishes resting, he will continue on his way.

Not long after, the waiter from the shop brought a plate of white-cut chicken, the must-have wine-flavored peanuts at the inn, and a plate of fried pork with green peppers, and a jug of fine wine.

The appearance of these meals was full of color, fragrance, and Xiao Lingyun, who was tired from the journey, was even more hungry and thirsty. Naturally, he couldn't help but eat these meals, regardless of the eating etiquette.

But when Xiao Lingyun was about to start eating, a girl who was only seven or eight years old sat beside Xiao Lingyun on the opposite side of the table.

Seeing this, Xiao Lingyun was very puzzled and asked, "Huh? Girl, what do you mean by Chi Guoguo eating and drinking?"

……

But the little girl didn't pay attention to him, she just kept picking up food with chopsticks and stuffing it into her mouth.

The speed at which she ate was as if she came from a slum, gobbling it voraciously, as if she never spit out the bones, she just swallowed the chicken.

There is really no one who is hungry to this extent.

Xiao Lingyun who watched this scene was stunned
Where did this little girl come from, so rude.

Just as Xiao Lingyun fell into a sluggish state, the little girl was already full at the moment, with a toothpick sticking out of her mouth, she said with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness, I am already full!"
