Yuelai Inn.
After returning to the guest room, Bing'er first took back the worms entangled in the gaps in the window leaves, opened the window, and checked every corner again, "No one came in the room when we were not here. Brother An, it's safe!"
Su An sat down at the table, picked up the teapot and was about to pour a cup of tea, but was immediately snatched away by a bare hand. She checked it first before pouring the tea and handing it to him, "Brother An, no one has touched the teapot and cup. It's safe." !”
Su An raised her lips and smiled, "Bing'er is so powerful, no evil tricks can escape your eyes."
Bing'er's eyes were bright, and she opened her sleeve pocket as if she were offering a treasure, "Look, I have fibrils to help me. They are thinner than human hair and have no color. They are placed in the cracks of windows, teapot lids, and teacup walls... they are not there at all. People can detect it. As long as someone touches these things, they will deform, and I can tell it as soon as I see it."
She was very happy.
She is really useful, not a burden. With Brother An taking her, she can really help a lot.
"So Brother An is right. Sit down and have a cup of tea. You have been busy all morning." After drinking a cup of tea first and feeling no strangeness, Su An poured a cup for Bing'er and took out another cup. Xiao Bao handed over the candied fruits he bought on the way back, "This matter will be finished in two days, and I can go home by then."
Bing'er nodded in agreement, "If we still take the new channel as we did when we came here, we can get home in more than ten days."
Su An smiled.
After the accident at home, he never went far away to do business. The flight from home would never exceed one month, and he would make sure to return home in at least three months.
Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu left one after another with full of hatred, wanting to revenge Nan Sang in their own way. All the elders left behind in the family were the elders who were overwhelmed by pain. As the eldest son and grandson of the family, he could not just leave according to his temper. Walk.
He needs to stay and take care of his elders. This is his responsibility.
If Tianbao had Zhi... what he most wanted him to do would be the same.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Su An opened the door, and outside the door was a boy from the dock office, delivering a letter.
Looking at the familiar cover of the letter, Su An's eyes softened. After closing the door, he immediately took out the letter and unfolded it.
"Is it a letter from the bearded uncle? Brother An, read it quickly!" Bing'er immediately folded her hands and sat obediently, raising her ears.
Su An followed the good example and read the contents of the letter to Bing'er one by one, "Everything is fine at home and the rice is about to be harvested. Uncle Bai set off to Cangjian to seek medical treatment and returned home years ago."
Every time he goes out, his uncle will send him a letter every seven days to inform him of the situation at home. This has been a tacit understanding between them for the past two years.
Today is the day to receive the letter, neither early nor late.
"Uncle Bai went to seek medical treatment again..." Bing'er's bright eyes dimmed, and she tried her best to hold up her face and smile, "This time it must be a master from Xinglin who can definitely cure grandpa and grandma!"
"Yes, I can definitely do it." Su An lowered his eyes and responded in a low voice.
In the past two years, both Wei Li and Xiling have sent countless famous doctors, and Uncle Bai is also looking for Xinglin experts everywhere.
But no one has been able to cure Grandma's eyes, and Grandpa's health has never improved.
In fact, they all know that it's not that the doctors' medical skills are not high enough.
However, what Grandpa and Grandma really suffer from is heart disease.
Knock knock knock——
There was a knock on the door again.
Su An frowned and opened the door.
The visitor is a stranger, but the Hengzhou Chamber of Commerce badge is hanging on his waist, "But Mr. An at Pier 12? I am the errand manager of the Hengzhou Chamber of Commerce. Our president asks Mr. An to go to the Chamber of Commerce immediately to discuss urgent matters!"
"Emergency? Does the steward know what it is?"
"The president said that there was some trouble with the introduction. The man from the Lingjiang Shipping Office is a guest next door to Wangcheng. If nothing unexpected happens, we can meet him tomorrow. But there was news from over there that he was camping in Lingjiang, the northwest corner of Lingjiang. The army was suddenly attacked. In order to prevent the enemy from sneaking into the country, the waterway over there had to be closed urgently. Isn't that why the gentleman has to return to Lingjiang in a hurry? Chairman Du asked you to go over and discuss the charter. I will wait until the next opportunity. For an introduction, it’s better to rush over now, or you may be able to meet the other person before they leave. ”
The errand boy shook his head and sighed, "Now the borders of all countries are very tense. There have been dozens of wars, big and small. People who come out may not be able to go back if they are not careful. The world is so troubled..."
As if realizing that he was too talkative, the steward laughed sarcastically.
Su An pursed her lips and pondered for a moment, then said, "Steward, please go back to President Du. I will rush over later."
After dismissing the steward of the chamber of commerce, Su An called the waiter, gave a piece of silver as a tip, and asked the waiter to help pack the personal belongings in the room and send them to the Pier 12 office in the city.
"Bing'er, come with me to the Chamber of Commerce. It may take you a few days to get home this time."
"Brother An, is what that person said just now credible?"
"Whether it is trustworthy or not, you will know after a visit to the Chamber of Commerce. Although President Du is in charge of a chamber of commerce, he does not have the courage to offend me. Let's go."
Su An has been following the issue of opening up the border route for two years. Seeing that the success of the Lingjiang route is in sight, he does not want to fall short, otherwise it will take more time to turn around.
Thinking of this, Su An's eyes flashed coldly.
Border shipping is much more profitable than domestic shipping. Only with sufficient financial resources can we better support border wars.
Fortunately, he had just received news from his family, which made him feel relieved.
There are still seven days until the next mail is received, so there should be enough time.
…
night.
White House.
There was light in the study.
Bai Yu was wearing a white cloak embroidered with red patterns, and stood quietly beside the large sand table with his hands behind his back.
At this moment, small flags with red edges and black backgrounds were planted in many places on the sand table.
There are no words on the flag, but in the dim and quiet atmosphere at this moment, in the man's calm and indifferent gaze, it inexplicably gives people a chill that is threatening life and death.
After a moment, Bai Yu raised his slender fingers and took off the black flag planted at the border between Lingjiang River and Dai Viet.
The flames of the white candle on the table flickered slightly, and a black shadow quietly appeared behind him.
"My lord, Jiying has been preparing for three months. With 1,800 hostages pushed out, Longyuan and Lingjiang will definitely break with Beixiang. Why should they stop?" Phantom frowned in confusion.
Bai Yu casually threw the black flag aside and said casually, "Let Jiying release the hostages."
"My lord?! You never change the decisions you made before... is it because Su An is now in the river area where the two realms meet, so you want to change your mind?"
"Su An doesn't need me to worry about it." Bai Yu clicked his tongue and rubbed the tip of his eyebrows, "I can't make Master and the others angry anymore, let's just let it go this time."
Phantom bit her lip and said softly after a moment, "My lord, it's actually for Su Tianbao, right?"
The man's cold eyebrows suddenly sharpened, and he turned back to look at her coldly, "Can you call her by her name?"
"I know my mistake! Please calm down, Lord!" Phantom panicked and hurriedly knelt down to admit his mistake.
"Phantom, I have a bad temper and I don't have much patience. As a Shadow Guard, don't let me teach you what you should and shouldn't do!"
"Yes! I don't dare to do it again!"
"From today on, you will be responsible for the injury to Bei. From now on, you will be stationed there permanently. You don't have to follow me anymore."
"Lord, Lord?" Phantom suddenly raised his head and couldn't believe it.
It was just a small offense, but the Lord wanted to drive her away?
The man stopped looking at her, rolled up his sleeves and walked out, saying ruthlessly, "If it weren't for the Queen's sake, you wouldn't even have a chance to walk out!"
