Chapter 1217 - Chapter 1217 Chapter 1216 Return to Anping Village_1
Chapter 1217: Chapter 1216: Return to Anping Village_1 Chapter 1217: Chapter 1216: Return to Anping Village_1 Qiao Xiaomai had rarely made such a good friend as Ailiusa, but they were soon to part, and she had no idea when they would meet again, so she made a special effort to bring Ailiusa with her on this trip to Anping Village.
After all, Yang Wenxiao and Yang Zheng were going back to the Capital City, and by then they could take Ailiusa with them.
The bluestone road from the Capital City to Bailu Town had started construction in the Capital City, and when they had entered the city it had only been a small section, but now, a few months later, the road was basically completed. According to the messages from ahead, the Engineering Team was now less than a hundred miles from Bailu Town and would be able to finish in a few days.
The carriage traveled smoothly on the bluestone road, greatly reducing the bumpiness, and the speed had also increased considerably.
Ailiusa was sharing a carriage with Qiao Xiaomai as they looked at the smooth, spacious bluestone avenue, her face unable to hide her amazement, “Daqi really does deserve the grandeur of its name.”
The Divine Tree Tribe might be a tribe, but it had everything it needed on a smaller scale, with its own towns, palaces, and flat roads.
However, their flat roads were far inferior to those of Daqi.
The grandeur and open-mindedness of the Heavenly Empire and Daqi was not just an empty talk.
Qiao Xiaomai watched the expression of astonishment on Ailiusa’s face and her eyes started to twirl, a sudden idea coming to her mind.
Ailiusa was quite beautiful. Her skin wasn’t brown-yellow but a wheatish hue, not as fair as those delicate girls from Daqi, but she had her own unique charm.
After all, since the Divine Tree Tribe had been extinguished, why not marry into Daqi?
Once Yang Wenxiao conquered Yuchi Country in the future and the people of the Divine Tree Tribe regained their freedom, then Ailiusa could bring her people and their land to join Daqi, which would also be great.
However, even though she thought this, she dared not say it out loud.
This idea was equivalent to eradicating the Divine Tree Tribe in another form, which on second thought was entirely unfair to Ailiusa.
The bluestone road was smooth, and Yang Wenxiao was in a hurry, so after one day and one night, the caravan arrived at Bailu Town.
Without any delay, Yang Wenxiao headed straight for Anping Village, as tomorrow was the agreed-upon three-month deadline, and he was to stay in the secret tunnel tonight.
He was to wait in the secret tunnel for Liuli’s descendant.
Since that year when they parted, he had not seen Liuli again.
He had many things he wanted to say and many doubts he wanted to ask.
Now he finally had a living person to resolve his doubts.
Yang Wenxiao pressed on to the secret tunnel without a break, and upon hearing this news, Qiao Xiaomai became worried.
She had initially thought Yang Wenxiao would stay the night at the manor, allowing Tong Sanlang to secretly place the Divine Liquid in the secret tunnel.
But now that Yang Wenxiao was heading straight for the secret tunnel, how could she get the Divine Liquid out?
How could she and Tong Sanlang deceive and trick?
Tong Sanlang had also considered this possibility. Now serving as Yang Wenxiao’s personal guard, he had been staying in the same carriage as Yang Wenxiao, he persuaded, “Your Majesty Emeritus, you should rest first. I will personally take charge of guarding the secret tunnel. Don’t worry, we won’t miss your great-grandmother’s descendant.”
“No need, my body can still hold up, and when it really can’t, I’ll rest,” Yang Wenxiao waved his hand.
Although he was getting older by the day, his spirit had been better each day than the last. Since the road was smooth, he was hardly fatigued from the journey and was feeling quite spirited.
Tong Sanlang “…”
With excessive use of the Spiritual Spring water, even a ninety-year-old man’s vitality could catch up to his.
Since Yang Wenxiao did not stop, the caravan went directly to Anping Village.
Fearing that Liuli’s descendant might be disturbed, Yang Wenxiao did not send a vanguard to scout ahead and they continued all the way to the foot of Rooster Mountain before he asked Ren Zhong to lead people up the mountain to check the secret tunnel.
Whether intentionally or by chance, he only asked Ren Zhong to go and did not ask Tong Sanlang to go.
[Goodnight]
