Travel To The World Of Ca Li
Cannot Put All Eggs In One Basket

I frowned and propped up my chin, thinking hard about the many possibilities while watching intensely the animal skin sheet that had a scratch image of the region above it.

"Here," I said pointing to one of the sections on the map laid out on the table by Xiu Huanran.

The map of Nanbao region is structured very clearly. Xiu Huanran is amazing! He had just arrived in Nanjing exactly during the day and immediately got a picture of information that was quite useful.

"We only need to build two large shops in the center of the capital Nanjing. Nanbao climate is a desert that cannot be used to grow crops. We only need to trade agricultural produce from Shen one of which is tea leaves and also some kind of silk cloth." Further

"Just two?" Ji Gui asked a little confused while Xiu Huanran was just silently waiting for another explanation from me.

I nodded in agreement.

"There are only two, and it's just a regular store—nothing special. In these two stores we will not build any information network to avoid suspicion because I believe all the time the two stores will be closely monitored by Nanbao officials." My speech

"The agreement of the store will belong to both parties, because to cover our identity as sellers. They only know we're building two shops together that sell Shen stuff."

"Instead, we will use a store that sells ordinary goods typical of Nanbao to build an information network center. They wouldn't have thought such a shop was ours, would they?" I continued to look at Ji Gui and Xiu Huanran alternately.

'Strk.Prokk.'

"Very good, you didn't disappoint as a sister." Xiu Huanran said, shaking his face and clapping his hands.

"Of course" I replied proudly.

"Xuan'er, you forgot. This is a business that thinks of profit and loss, to avoid suspicion—we must also ask for rewards as profits from them." Remember Xiu Huanran to me.

I almost forgot that, what should I ask Nanbao in return? It can't be just that useless engagement, can it?

"Er'ge, does Shen have a direct border with the ocean?" Much

"Of course, there is. Used as a small port for trade routes with Mo or Northern Xia." Answer

'Gotcha,' One of the things flashed through my head after hearing Xiu Huanran's reply.

"Salt from the sea of Nanbao, we will ask for that in return as a business advantage. Shen Port is too small and very crowded because it is used as a trade route, does not have more space to explore the salt content at sea, which is what causes the price of salt to be quite expensive in Shen. We'll get those rewards for reselling at Shen for a slightly lower price" I explained straightforwardly and enthusiastically.

I had quite a long discussion with Xiu Huanran and Ji Gui discussing all the matters related to my plan in Nanbao.

We agreed to use several stores, one of which is a high-quality arak store typical of Nanbao as a center for information networks.

Xiu Huanran will take care of the matters related to the construction of the underground information network, while I will take care of the original trade agreement with Nanbao openly.

And I also did not forget to tell Xiu Huanran one other important thing that the Zhuting General of the Nanbao Tribe who was detained by my father in Ping'an City had a special relationship with the Xitian Sect. I asked him to find out about it.

"All right, leave it to me. You take care of your part and I will take care of this genuine trade agreement" I said confidently.

I pared my intention to bring Xiu Huanran together with Old Madam, let me take care of and broker a trade agreement.

The old madam cannot be underestimated, when the existence and face of Xiu Huanran is already recognized—hal it will hamper our plans. because I believe Old Madam will be watching Xiu Huanran's behavior in Nanbao territory in full.

We'll take care of it separately, because we can't put all the eggs in the same basket, can we?

So let me be the one to be watched over by Old Madam because she is unaware of Xiu Huanran's whereabouts that are indeed hidden. And let Xiu Huanran take care of his own part, after finishing strengthening everything—new I will return to Ping'an City.

As for Ji Gui I don't know, because indeed he came to this place to pick me up. I won't involve him too much. After all, the man had become very talkative. He just looked at me deeply and for a very long time, actually quite uncomfortable but because I was too focused thinking made me ignore him.

"Er'ge, how is the situation of the rumors regarding me in Ping'an City? I fell into Nanbao's hands and spent days parading them. You know what I mean, don't you?" My speech

Without me noticing after hearing my words, Ji Gui who was leaning back became sitting upright with her hands slightly clenched.

I asked like that because I clearly understand the situation in this ancient world, I am a woman who became a military prisoner and spent days in military parades which in fact are all men.

Typically, female military prisoners would be made slaves***twisted by all military personnel. Of course, that won't happen to me because I have the big name of the Xiu Family behind me.

However, still the reputation of a woman who had been taken prisoner of the military would be very bad, the men would think twice to come to propose and marry let alone the status of the Xiu Family was noble.

"We're hiding the news of you falling into Nanbao, the whole city of Ping'an only knows you were seriously injured while helping on the battlefield and being treated not to let anyone visit. You can calm down" Xiu Huanran explained.

I nodded in understanding, actually it was quite good but my reputation was still good which could very well interfere with my freedom in the future.

"Alright, I have to go—hari is getting brighter," I stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Xuan'er, use this to contact me." Xiu Huanran's speech gave me a small green bell that also contained a butterfly decoration. So beautiful!

I picked it up and shook the bell slowly to see how it worked. However, the bell did not make a sound in the slightest making me frown confused.

"Switch the bell while saying" He commanded me

I did as he commanded. Shake the bells slowly and say random, "Er'ge, I'm going first don't miss."

'Cring,'

A few moments later the loud sound of Xiu Huanran's bells was heard and when Xiu Huanran moved by turning the bell my voice or speech before was clear.

Unknowingly I sparkled in awe and nodded my head. It's like a minimalist smartphone as a communication tool, Xiu Huanran is indeed very amazingly sophisticated!

"Er'ge, where'd you get a device like this?" Ask me enthusiastically

"I'll tell you later, now hurry up. Before the day got brighter, "She said looking at the sky that I can expect to be two or three in the morning.

"Humph, Okay. I go first," I reply a little annoyed at having to hold back my curiosity for having to do and think of more important things first.

I stepped out of the Kaibo Shop, before I had also said goodbye to Ji Gui but the man just kept quiet did not answer.

Just a few steps away from the Kaibo Shop, a sturdy arm tightly gripped my injured upper arm.

'Auww, ' Ringisku

Before I had no time to heal this wound on my upper arm with the aura of life I had, because it was in such a hurry when I got the letter from Xiu Huanran. And also when Sima Junke came out of the room where I was staying, I immediately rushed over and prepared by changing clothes.

Blood seeped out of the cloth that wrapped my wounds.

"You're hurt" said the sharp voice of the man I know very well, Ji Gui.

Ji Gui held onto my shoulder, she slightly forced me to turn around so that it faced her.

His hand tore my clothes off quickly.

"Teacher, what are you doing?!" My jolt of surprise tried to dodge, he became very strange today.

'Srett,' Sound rips.

He bowed his head to align his face to see my wound wrapped in gauze. Gently stroked my injured arm gently and carefully.

The expression on Ji Gui's face was very calm, as it was too calm he looked cold.

"They hurt you" he said slowly.

"No, it's—" I paused in surprise when she suddenly kissed me on the forehead.

"Take care of yourself and quickly come back to me, I miss you." He looked me in the eyes deeply.

Aiya! It's like drama, but it makes my heart beat and my cheeks heat up. I'm sure both of my cheeks are flushed in shame.

Ji Gui was very stiff and always kept everything to herself, when she acted openly like this made me very surprised.

"I—" When I want to answer the whirling wind and human footprints on the roof of the store building sounded.

I saw that along the road to the Kaibo Shop there were some people walking and hiding on the roof of the building in black clothes but having the characteristics of the Nanbao Tribe.

"Teacher, hurry up and find another hiding place!" Mumamku.

Ji Gui initially looked puzzled but after a while he circulated his gaze and he finally understood.

We parted ways, Ji Gui went back inside the Kaibo Store and I rushed back trying to calmly watch the actions of those people from the corner of my eye.

What I didn't expect was that these people had just arrived, and they were just walking down the street from the roof of the building like they were looking for something. They have not found whatever it is that they are looking for and also do not suspect me because I am walking slowly and hidden.
