After everything was done, Li Ao felt that he had no way to conduct further in-depth exploration of Huanxi Villa for the time being, and did not want to waste time here, so he said goodbye to Wang Zhong and prepared to go back first.
This time he came because of Yang Yan's commission. After understanding that there was nothing helpful to her here, there was indeed no need to stay any longer.
However, Wang Zhong and others have the emperor's fate, so they have no way to leave for the time being.
"In that case, please proceed with caution, prince."
"Ahem...Thank you, Mr. Marquis, for reminding us. We will be prepared for the Huang family's counterattack and the attack of the Gu Heart Demon Cult."
"No, I mean, the old thing in the painting..."
Wang Zhong was slightly startled when he heard this, and then nodded thoughtfully.
Li Fan knew that he was experienced, so he stopped talking and didn't say anything more and mentioned another thing.
"Can the parents and family of the third young lady be spared their lives, or even give some money and let them escape secretly?"
"Oh? Why does the young marquis treat them so differently? The most minor crime of treason like this was initiated by the Yi clan."
"It's hard for me to explain at the moment. In short, I just want to stay as much as possible."
"Ahem... Okay, but you killed that Huang Xiucai's daughter. If he hates you and seeks revenge from you in the future, he can't blame me."
"If he is a sensible person, he should think that I have saved the lives of his family."
Li Ao said lightly, not taking it seriously.
Wang Zhong looked at him slightly suspiciously, feeling baffled.
But since the other party said so, it was hard to persuade him, so he agreed.
…
"Drive... drive drive..."
A few days later, in the southern suburbs of the Holy Capital, Li Huan and others hurriedly hurried and finally returned to the domestic capital where Emperor Daqian was located.
It was already early September, which happened to be one of the auspicious days of the zodiac that was suitable for funerals. Li Ao and others saw the long procession in the road, all of them were dressed in plain clothes. The filial son and grandson came out holding the coffin, and the sound of crying filled the road.
Judging from the scale, he should be a sixth- or seventh-grade official.
But as the saying goes, the dead are the most important, so Li Fan didn't say anything and just stayed away.
"It's really unlucky that something like this happened as soon as I came back."
Xue An looked at the flags, shook his head and said.
Some paper money blew in the wind, and it was as white as snow.
Although he was riding a tall horse, a lot of paper money was blown by the wind and hit him head on.
But there is still no way to blame others.
The Marquis of Wu'an's government was strict, and the servants under him were not arrogant and domineering to the point of making trouble unreasonably. They just complained in private.
Li Chuan, on the other hand, was holding the paper money blowing in the wind, looking thoughtful.
"You can't say that. The money brought by the strong wind has such a good meaning."
When Xue An heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "It's good that the strong wind blew it, but it's a pity that it's paper money from the underworld."
"So what about the paper money in the underworld? No matter what, these things are the thoughts of the filial son and virtuous grandson. Maybe his ancestors knew better and relied on these coins to live their lives."
When he said this, he suddenly asked Xue An: "Are you short of money recently?"
"Everyone is short of money, but why did the young marquis say this?" Xue An said with some confusion.
"Do you think there is a possibility that you are short of money because there is no one above to give it to you?"
Li Fan suddenly said inexplicably.
Xue An was stunned when he heard it.
"Hahahaha, look at your face, I was just joking."
Li Fan burst out laughing.
"Okay, don't be unlucky. This time, Prince Wang Zhong ransacked Huang's house in Taoshan. In addition to sorting out some of the money he got, he also gave me a few thousand taels. If anyone sees it, I will share it with you. Thousand taels, treat it as extra money for this business trip, you can hand it over to your mother-in-law, or you can hide it yourself and use it as personal money, it's up to you."
"This..." Xue An looked surprised, but immediately couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised.
This is really in line with the saying, money brought by strong wind!
After praising Xue An, Li Fan looked at the bamboo bookbox he and himself were hunched over on horseback, which contained some books from the Huang family and Huang Lao Hanlin's collection.
Although they are not weird items, they contain some old letters from Huang Yuan, as well as information about his discussions with old friends in the DPRK about weird things from back then.
Li Fan and Wang Zhong didn't have time to take a closer look at it, so they simply packed it up and brought it back.
After all, he was from the previous recovery era, so it wouldn't be surprising if he had something secret.
Compared with the worldly money, Li Ao valued these more.
In addition, the last gain, which is also the biggest gain, is her...
Li Fan looked back and saw the strong and beautiful woman looking at her. When she saw him, she opened her eyes and relaxed her eyebrows, showing a heartfelt smile.
Stranger (Huang Ying)
"A person who was assimilated into the world because he entered the art of magic, but was interrupted for some reason and lost his identity in the world."
"Named: Oriole"
Strange Realm (Momoyama City)
"The undestined person connects the human world and the world in the painting, and can summon a corner of the mysterious realm (Momoyama City)"
Unique treasure (Hushan pen)
"This famous pen, which has been crafted with great care, is still as intact as new even though it has been used for many years. It was contaminated with the strange source of matter in the strange realm and turned into a rare treasure."
"Dip blood as a painting, and you can create mundane things."
Today, Huang Ying has forgotten her past and has become an undestined person who has lost her identity in the world.
But she didn't know whether it was like a young bird imprinted on her, or whether she had inherited the false identity of a couple in the world of calligraphy and painting, and the Taoshan Shijingtu. She still maintained a great affection for Li Fan, with an inexplicable attachment and trust in her.
Li Ao simply picked her back up.
It happened to be a coincidence that he couldn't find a suitable way to control the Yibao Hushan Brush he was eyeing, and there was no suitable place for it in his own weird puzzle. But when it was replaced by Huang Ying, it suddenly It worked.
She has studied at home since she was a child, and has also done some research on the art of painting, so she should be able to produce good results.
This time, it immediately became more powerful than a tiger, and instantly achieved a complete collection of strange treasures in the mysterious realm that is difficult for most strangers to achieve.
"I hope you won't resent me when you wake up in the future, but in comparison, the previous Huang Ying is more like your previous life. You have already been reincarnated..."
reincarnation...
This was an idea that suddenly occurred to Li Chuan.
Those nine mysterious paintings and nine worlds are simply like the nine secluded places in myths and legends. Every time you enter, you feel like you have fallen into reincarnation.
But, is it just like that in the painting?
Li Ao looked up at the sky inexplicably.
Today was refreshing and the sun was shining brightly, but he shivered for no reason, so he withdrew his gaze and galloped through the paper money on the floor towards the city gate.
