The System Make Me Near With The Emperor
Chapter 70

"System, how is the current state of the Northern Kingdom?"

Since Huang Long did not seem to want to speak anymore, Xie Hongyi decided to leave. He was now sitting on a wooden chair in his residence. On the table, there was a system lying down while enjoying at elus Xie Hongyi. At this time the system changed its shape to an orange cat.

The system squinted his eyes. "Will the host exchange 200 points for information?"

Xie Hongyi asked. "How much is my point?"

"Your remaining points after income and usage are 500 points."

Xie Hongyi's forehead wrinkled when he found out that the number of points was only a little. "Yes, give me the information."

The system changes its posture to sitting. "The "Northern Kingdom lies on the direct border between the Southern Kingdoms. The kingdom is famous for its rich mines. The main resource in the Kingdom was the business of buying and selling jewelry."

Xie Hongyi became sparkling. "really? They must have a lot of money!"

"Yes, there you can get some kind of high quality jewelry. His people were also rich because every month the Kingdom would give 5 taels to them."

"The territory of the kingdom was smaller than the Southern Kingdom. But among the other kingdoms, the people of the Northern Kingdom are the most prosperous."

"It turns out so. Then how's the situation there? Did the Northern Kingdom also experience a rebellion like here?" The information the system provided was basic information, who knew the Northern Kingdom was also going through a crisis.

"It was a side mission to find out what happened there."

Xie Hongyi understood. He then asked again.

"System, what does Xiao Zhang actually play? Why is he not mentioned in the book?"

The system says mysteriously. "The answer can be known after the host comes to the North."

Xie Hongyi nodded in understanding. So now he had to complete two missions at once, which was to find out who the person surnamed Xu was there and who Xiao Zhang really was.

"Mom why are you talking to cats? Will he understand? When I spoke, Miao left."

Xie Hongyi was angered by Prince Jue's innocence. "This cat is different from Miao."

"I think it's the same. Wait, since when do you have a cat? Is he a male or a female? If it's a man, we'll marry Miao!"

"Where is Miao now?"

Prince Jue replied innocently. "Maybe he's up a tree."

Xie Hongyi was speechless anymore.

"Ah Jue listen, maybe in a few days mom won't be here."

Prince Jue's eyes blinked. "Will you go again?"

"Yes, but take it easy, I'll have Ling'er's aunt, Wan'er and Yi'er take care of you."

Xie Hongyi felt pity for the pity with Prince Jue who had no idea who the real old man was. Maybe after he grows up, he'll let him know. But, will he remain with the child forever? He was a soul from a wandering future. Xie Hongyi did not know if the system allowed him to stay permanently here.

The next day, Huang Long, Xie Hongyi, Xiao Zhang and Dugu An went to the North. Huang Ruifeng originally suggested bringing more people. But Xie Hongyi said that if it was done, it would attract the attention of the enemy.

They traveled through the capital in the belief that the enemy would not dare to wreak havoc in a crowded place.

The man shouted furiously. "Damn you! Don't you have eyes?"

The old man almost seemed to be crying. "Master forgive me for accidentally bumping into you. Please Lord to forgive."

"Huh, I won't be that easy to let go of you. Guards took him to the residence and whipped 100 times. I want this hick guy to learn that he shouldn't offend just anyone."

"Good sir."

Xie Hongyi narrowed his eyes when he saw the sight. Isn't the fat man scolding a beggar the merchant that Xie Hongyi took the money from yesterday? Her overbearing round face made Xie Hongyi's hands itch to want to hit.

"System if I beat him up, I can earn points for getting rid of insignificant figures right? I'm really upset about his behavior." Xie Hongyi clearly saw that it was the merchant who carelessly bumped into the beggar. Doesn't he run away from responsibility and blame it on others?

"Maybe it can be tried."

Xie Hongyi threw a silver needle towards the merchant's vital. A second later, he collapsed and fainted making the people around him even more crowded.

The system says: "Congratulations for taking care of the side character. 50 points have been added to your account."

Xie Hongyi smiled and felt satisfied in his heart. If just doing this he gets points, why didn't he act? After all, people like that merchant deserve to be punished.

Xie Hongyi pretended nothing had happened. He said to the three behind him. "Let's continue. Don't mind them."

Huang Long glanced at Xie Hongyi. He did not ask why the woman was talking to herself.

As they passed through the deserted place, some people forcefully stopped the carriage. The information about Huang Long's departure to the North might have already reached the ears of the enemy, so they moved to stop Huang Long.

The walls have ears. Still they tried not to make any attention, the Shi Family would definitely know about it. Perhaps the Shi Family's men were watching them and they could only act now.

Xie Hongyi was not in a good mood to fight. He told the system to take care of them by exchanging 100 points. Now he had to refrain from crying because the remaining points were 150. Hopefully when he completes the mission, the system will give him a lot of points.

Their enemies who suddenly collapsed made the other three people who were preparing to fight back, astonished.

Xie Hongyi pretended to check on the person who fainted. He then said: "Maybe they fainted from eating wrong." The statement made no sense, but they had no other guesses.

Xie Hongyi then turned to Dugu An who played the role of a coachman. "We'd better hurry away, before the rest of the Shi Family's men show up."

Their journey had to stop because it was already night. There was no sign of the enemy coming, so they could relax a little.

The men in their group try to light a fire to warm themselves from the peak of winter. But because the air and wood were to be burned wet, they found it difficult to make fire.

Xie Hongyi who was peeking out of the window of the carriage, clucked. He saw them one by one alternately igniting the fire.

At this moment, suddenly someone splashed something on the wood they were stacking. The three men were very surprised and thought the man had poured water and made it more difficult for them.

Xie Hongyi paid no heed to their sharp gazes. His hand then lit a match and threw the matchstick towards the wood. Instantly, a huge fire suddenly lit up.

Xie Hongyi immediately sat down in front of the fire and rubbed his palms together.

"It's much warmer now."

Three people with difficulty lit a fire. "..."- ".
