"What?" Shan Baozhu withdrew her leg and stared at her suspiciously.

Yun Qixi went closer to her ear and whispered a few words. Shan Baozhu understood what she meant, nodded, and walked towards her.

Yun Qixi walked back to the side of the horse and pulled on the rope. She was not in a hurry to get on the horse, but her eyes seemed to casually look in the direction of Shan Baozhu and Shan Liancheng.

"Second Brother, can we ride in the carriage with the pearl?" Shan Baozhu opened her eyes wide and pleaded with an extremely innocent voice as she pulled Shan Liancheng along.

Shan Liancheng lowered his head and looked at Shan Baozhu, and then slightly tilted his head, and his gaze landed on Yun Qixi.

Yun Qixi stroked the smooth fur of the horse as she shifted her gaze.

"Second Brother, how is it?" Shan Baozhu held onto Shan Liancheng tenderly, and refused to give up until they reach their goal.

She only heard Shan Liancheng's deep voice say a word 'good' before she jumped off her horse, and walked together with Shan Baozhu towards the carriage.

Yun Qixi patted her horse and looked at the grassland in the distance which was being blown around by the wind.

Chu Lingyun, who was standing at the side, only looked at her indifferently.

The main force set off again.

As the weather was sunny, everyone was in a hurry. In the afternoon, they arrived at Qingfeng Mountain.

Yun Qixi could clearly feel that when they were almost at the top of the mountain, the soldiers had become more vigilant. As a general, Yun Chong rode a horse in the front while the guards surrounded a few carriages, occasionally looking up to observe the situation on the mountain.

It seemed that the Qingfeng Mountain area was not peaceful and was no longer a secret.

The majestic royal family entered the canyon of Qingfeng Mountain and slowed down. Other than the sounds of the carriages and the sounds of the horses' hooves, only the sounds of the insects in the mountain remained.

In the depths of the canyon, the sounds of horses' hooves could clearly be heard. The large group was like a long snake as they walked slowly within, and the atmosphere was extremely strange.

Yun Qixi thought back to what happened at Qingfeng Mountain and the corners of her mouth curled up.

Suddenly, the cry of a bird pierced the air. The crowd raised their heads in alarm, only to see a few men standing on the mountainside.

Immediately, there was the sound of swords being unsheathed, and the guards, swords in hand, stared at them.

Yun Qixi recognized it, they were the few people who blocked her path, and the one standing right in front was their Great Master.

Several people looked in the direction of the group. The big boss had one foot on the rock. His two hands were on the ground while he held a blade of grass in his mouth.

Yun Qixi recognized the Great Master, and the Great Master also saw Yun Qixi. In the distance, the Great Master cupped his fists at her and Yun Qixi smiled, then nodded to him.

The troops calmly walked through the canyon. A few of them stood on the mountainside. Their eyes followed the troops but they didn't move. The guards did not dare to relax until the group had safely left the valley.

It was already midnight when he arrived at the capital.

The large group first escorted Shan Ye and his group back to the Imperial Palace, then split up and headed towards the Prince Jin Palace, all the way to the National Duke Palace.

After Shan Liancheng's carriage had walked a distance, the carriage's curtains suddenly lifted, revealing Shan Baozhu's face. Borrowing the moonlight, she mischievously blinked his eyes at Yun Qixi, who smiled at her.

Only when the carriage had disappeared into the night did the rest of the people continue on their way to the Residence of State Duke.

In front of the Duke's Palace's entrance, Yun Qixi and Yun Chong got off the horses, and Yun Lanyue got off the carriage.

Chu Lingyun sat on the horse and said to Yun Qixi, "Qixi, wait for me, I will definitely get you married with dignity."

Under the moonlight, she was magnificent and unparalleled. Her eyes were resolute, as if she had made a promise to the moonlight. It was a completely different kind of dream.

The few horses had already been taken away by the servant, and Yun Qixi stood at the entrance of the Duke's Palace and looked at him. The hazy moonlight obscured her complicated expression.

Ye Linfeng was calm, so it was extremely quiet in front of the mansion.

Chu Lingyun stared at her with a gentle gaze, but he did not move her eyes away, waiting for her reply.

The word "good" stuck in Yun Qixi's throat, yet she was unable to utter a single word. Seeing the hurt in Chu Lingyun's eyes, she nodded lightly.

Immediately, Chu Lingyun's slightly furrowed brows opened up, and her smile contained a little gratification and satisfaction.

Chu Lingyun rode his horse further away, and Xiao Yu followed behind him on her horse.

Although it was good news for Yun Lanyue that she had married to Xi Liang, but at this moment, seeing how the Prince Xiliang was treating Yun Qixi so gently, Her instincts as a woman gave birth to a trace of jealousy.

"You're back?" The heavy door opened, and Yun Fenglie stood at the entrance, looking at them.

"Father." A few of them turned around and called out.

Yun Fenglie nodded, and said, "It's already late, let's rest for now, we can talk tomorrow if you have anything to say."

When they returned to their own rooms, Qiao Er finally saw that Yun Qixi had gotten back. Her sleepiness had completely disappeared, and she expressed her worry and longing for her emotionally. Only when Yun Qixi indicated that she was on the way and that he was really tired did she finally calm down and silently retreated to let him rest.

However, when Yun Qixi really laid down, she was unable to sleep.

She had thought of doing many things, doing whatever she wanted. She had never thought of doing whatever she wanted to do, not marrying Shan Liancheng, but marrying far away from Prince Xiliang instead. She had never thought of doing whatever she wanted to do with her life.

Even though she was an outsider, there was no such thing as distant marriage. In this era, there was no place that truly belonged to her, so there was no difference between distant and distant marriage. But could she really marry Chu Lingyun?

She could reject Shan Liancheng because she felt that Shan Liancheng was cold and hard, and would not easily be injured. However, she could not reject Chu Lingyun because he was too kind and too gentle, and she could not bear to hurt him.

Suddenly, she got up from the bed. She got off the bed and poured out all the things in her bag. After calculating all the silver, she had an idea.

The next day, she took all her silver and went to Dong Zi's home.

Cui Cui was drying her clothes in the yard, it seemed that she was almost recovered, her face had some color, and was much rounder.

Seeing her, Cui Cui was pleasantly surprised, "Miss Yun, why is it you?"

Dong Zi was cutting firewood in the courtyard, and upon hearing Cui Cui's words, he raised his head and immediately stood up.

"Miss Yun?"

Yun Qixi smiled at them, weighed the large bag of silver in her hands and said, "It's like this, I'm about to leave the Great Swallow, but before I leave, I want to lead you all on a path to becoming rich."

In these five days, Yun Qixi began to plan and organize, busily working on her plans to get rich. During these five days, she had heard some things from the gossip of the people.

It was said that the border area was no longer peaceful. Probably because some people heard that wargods with Great Swallow could no longer stand, and felt that Great Swallow was like an eagle without wings, becoming easier to bully. The citizens were originally uneasy, but after hearing that Shan Liancheng's legs were healed, they became excited, hoping that the War God they worshipped would give them a ruthless blow. It was said that Shan Liancheng had been training his troops every day ever since he returned to the capital.

He practiced her arms, and she busied herself with her affairs, as if they had never met before.

Ten days later, across from Drunk And Delicious, a restaurant called "Qixianglai Restaurant" opened grandly.

Be it in terms of appearance or style, their Qixianglai Restaurant s were definitely not inferior to the capital's most imposing Drunk And Delicious.

And its position was right in front of the Drunk And Delicious. The owner of the Drunk And Delicious stood at the window on the second floor and watched the bustling scene in front of him, feeling extremely displeased.

In the ten odd years they had been in the capital, there had never been a restaurant that dared to challenge them. This Qixianglai Restaurant was directly in front of it, and it was being decorated in such an imposing manner. It was obvious that they wanted to compare their strength below that of the Drunk And Delicious.

A few days before the opening, Yun Qixi began to create a presence in the capital, using the marketing method that she used to try out food for free during the opening day to tempt customers. This method had never been used before in ancient times. Therefore, many people felt that it was new, and could not wait to start their business before they started.

Therefore, on the day of the opening, an unprecedented event occurred.

Yun Qixi stood at the door, looking at the incoming guests, she couldn't help but grin, and secretly praised her business brain. As expected, in the modern age, she could already make a name for herself with just a little bit of experience.

Dong Zi walked out from the Qixianglai Restaurant, and said to Yun Qixi: "Miss Yun, looks like we don't have enough manpower."

Yun Qixi looked inside, and saw that many of the beggars led by Er Gui had all changed their clothes and were dressed decently, serving their guests in the hall. However, even if she brought along a team from the Beggar's Gang, she would still be unable to deal with such a good business deal.

Yun Qixi smiled calmly, "It's fine, it's a good thing that you can't busy yourself. Tell the guests to try it out for three days, we'll continue later."

Dong Zi frowned, "We send out so many free things everyday, won't it be too much of a loss?"

Yun Qixi laughed as she shook his head, "You don't understand. You'll find out in the future.

Yun Qixi scratched her head, she still did not understand, and laughed, "Go, tell the chefs that they must prepare the special dishes I taught them, and tell Er Gui, service attitudes are very important, the etiquette that I taught them last time, must all be used."

"Alright." Although he could not understand what Yun Qixi was doing, Dong Zi still believed that she had his reasons for doing it, so he followed her instructions.

"Yo, it's so lively." A strange voice sounded from behind Yun Qixi.

Yun Qixi turned around and saw the owner of the Drunk And Delicious standing behind her with an unfriendly expression. Beside him were two strong looking men who looked like they were hired thugs.

And the Drunk And Delicious behind him, displayed an unprecedented coldness.

"Where did you come from?" Do you know the rules for doing business in the capital? " a man beside the shopkeeper shouted.

Yun Qixi looked at him calmly and smiled, "Hello shopkeeper, are you here to try out food for free? Qixianglai Restaurant welcomes you. "
