Travel To The World Of Ca Li
Xicheng Port City Door
It is midnight, where the early spring moon emits its rays.
Amidst the vastness of the room, Xiu Qixuan wore a complicated expression looking at the thickly piled up paper and documents. Meanwhile, Xiao Rou stood next to him faithfully accompanying.
"This much?! and, it must be completed right now?! I just want to take a short vacation, you know."
Xiu Qixuan turned her wrinkled face away with a burst of grievance.
"If you want to take a quiet vacation alone. You must complete the task of troop planning for the later days." Xiao Rou replied indifferently.
In his sentence he emphasized the word alone for being unwilling and also worried that Xiu Qixuan would leave without bringing anyone beside her.
Xiu Qixuan saw it as a sulking whimper. How beautiful Xiao Rou was.
"All of this can be left to Xiao Taoli. I believe him." Xiu Qixuan said lightly.
"Can't." Xiao Rou replied quickly.
Xiu Qixuan smiled faintly and pulled her brows forming a faint arch. "Why?" tanyakanya.
"Eum, the—. Second Young Master asked Miss to finish it herself." Xiao Rou replied with a slight look away when nervous.
Xiu Qixuan snorted.
"Well, I'll do it, you're a bitch!" its decan.
Xiao Rou had always used the name Xiu Huanran to suppress and limit her behavior too much at will . How cunning!
Silence chimed through time and only the rustling sound of busy sheets of paper rang out.
"...Xiao Rou."
Xiu Qixuan's voice suddenly sounded calling out the name of the servant as well as his best friend.
"Where is my mother's family?"
Before Xiao Rou answered her call, Xiu Qixuan asked first.
"Yes?" Xiao Rou blinked astonished by the sudden question.
"What does Wen Liu's family look like?" xiu Qixuan asked once more, she simply looked at the documents on the table seriously and without turning her head in the slightest when asking.
"I don't know too much. However, as far as I know it is a small noble family in the Shen and Mo perbatasaan area." Xiao Rou replied pensively thinking.
"What about the fiction you read about my mom and dad?" xiu Qixuan asked with a face turned.
"Hoho, are you interested now in the book?" said Xiao Rou smiling seductively.
Xiu Qixuan retorted narrowed her eyes sharply. It seemed to form a faint threat.
"Don't look at me so eeriely, Miss." looked at Xiao Rou with a frown.
"As I said, the book was never published and widely distributed again. But, what I remember is that it's just a classic romance story." he explained straightforwardly.
"And, about the family background is not explained in detail by the author." he continued convinced.
Xiu Qixuan was silent for a moment.
"Yes, okay. You can come out for a break. I'll finish this for tomorrow's trip." said Xiu Qixuan, waving and turning back to focus on working on the pile of documents.
"Are you sure you're traveling alone? Take me, miss." persuaded Xiao Rou with a glass.
"I won't change my decision, Xiao Rou." pressed Xiu Qixuan firmly.
When he said so firmly, the cold radiance of authority became indisputable.
Xiao Rou lowered his head to immediately rush out of the room.
Suddenly, the sound of knocking on the door stopped him.
"Chairman Qi, I brought the palace man inside as you requested." A voice belonging to a member of the fox division sounded from outside.
The inner court guy, huh?
Xiu Qixuan immediately straightened up with a sharp look at the door and said, "Yes, come in."
The door leaf made of strong iron pushed up and displayed the stocky figure of Auntie Jin or if in the inner palace we refer to her as Jin Momo, she came quietly wearing a robe to disguise her identity.
Xiu Qixuan stood up in a friendly manner to greet him.
"How was your trip here, auntie? It's been a hassle to you." he said then turned his face towards Xiao Rou to say quietly, "Stea and snack!"
"I'm grateful you're still willing to connect with me." Aunt Jin's voice was so sharp in her flat face.
"Yes, of course Auntie. I want to always make sure to see the development of Xiao Wen and Shu'er through you" Xiu Qixuan said with a friendly smile.
Aunt Jin stared back at the skeptic.
"Your Majesty the Emperor does not believe in your death with such a fake corpse. He's still looking for you." said Aunt Jin calmly.
In fact, he was warning me to be careful.
"Yes, I understand." replied Xiu Qixuan.
"The Crown Prince and the Princess are also whining looking for you. It made the Emperor grow even more angry" Aunt Jin said once again forming a report.
Xiu Qixuan remained smiling as if unaffected by the report. Because actually he had predicted something like this would happen.
Xiu Qixuan's outstretched hand picked up the rosewood box carefully handing it to Aunt Jin.
"Auntie, please pass on my gift to Xiao Wen and Shu'er in secret and separately. I'm sure aunt can do it."
Auntie Jin accepted without asking much.
Xia Qian Che was always on guard and watching over everything related to his two children, but, Aunt Jin was one of the trusted people who could escape his surveillance.
Pulling Auntie Jin to his side was easy for Xiu Qixuan. Because from the beginning Aunt Jin poured out his whole heart to a Qiaofeng. He must have had many complaints to Xia Qian Che regarding Qiaofeng's death.

'Sign..' The horse's neighing sound was heard when its reins were pulled.
Xiu Qixuan immediately jumped down from the saddle. Her beautiful face covered with a cloak hood slightly looked up to glance at the calligraphy of the name as a form of welcoming foreign tourists at the port city gate.
Xicheng Port.
He spent a week on a private ride on horseback. That's so exhausting!
But it is quite fun because it can freely roam alone.
His disguise identity was so useful when he passed through small towns and no Northern Xia Imperial Army recognized him.
However, it seemed like Xiu Qixuan's luck had run out and stopped until here.
At this moment, at the entrance of the port city. The people marched on hold as the ruling authority tightened guard against foreigners.
Damn, it's in my heart.
It seemed that Xia Qian Che still did not waver to search for her whereabouts in secret.
Although he did not spread his sketch pamphlet openly, but, the man still ordered every authority of the city authorities to tighten the exit and entrance.
Some time passed, it was time for Xiu Qixuan's turn to hand over the identity sheet and face off against one of the soldiers.
"You're Rongrong from outside the empire?" A soldier reads an identity document and asks for his identity again
Xiu Qixuan nodded her head back.
"Good, understood. And, please take off the robe and show your face because there is a person we are looking for." said the soldier politely but sharply.
Xiu Qixuan held back from grimacing. His fingers twisted his sleeves in doubt.
"Miss, if you don't want to comply. We will use force to carry and restrain you." the jolt of the soldier pressed Xiu Qixuan when he saw the shoulder of the girl before him tremble full of suspicious doubt.
Xiu Qixuan lowered her head with a long sigh. His hands slowly stretched out to remove the cloak hood. If caught here, he is ready to teleport immediately.
But suddenly a familiar low-heavy voice sounded from behind.
"He belongs to our southern trading entourage."
Xiu Qixuan recognized the voice very well.
A voice that made both his legs limp and wobble. A voice that made his body freeze to break the longing he had been trying to endure. A voice that made his heart tremble and his pulse paled softly.
"...She?"

Huhu, whoa, gais?
