Chapter 68 Jade Pendant
"If no one extradites, then the dead soul will become a lonely ghost."

"how much is it?"

"Ghosts are worthless, the glazed beads and the box will charge you a tael of silver."

"So cheap? Hao Lai is also a human soul."

"Girl, in this world, how much is a human life worth? Let alone a ghost."

Chang Xiaoman thought about it too, put the crying ghost glazed beads back into the box, put them in his pocket, and gave the boss a piece of silver.

Taking advantage of Lei Yuxiu not coming back, Chang Xiaoman went back to the room, took off his clothes and went to bed.

At dawn the next day, Lei Yuxiu and Shen Lie came back.

Seeing her sleeping soundly on the bed, Lei Yuxiu's worries all night were finally let go.

Yu's private mine has been found.

And they have an even bigger payoff.

There are people from Xidi in the private mine, and Lei Yuxiu suspects that there is any collusion between Mrs. Yu and Xidi.

When Xiaoman woke up, Lei Yuxiu informed her that they would continue to head west to Xidi to see who Yu Shi was colluding with and what they were planning.

They bid farewell to Haidur, hired a carriage, and continued westward.

After passing the checkpoint, you come to the capital city of Xidi—the Emerald City. The architectural scenery here reminds Chang Xiaoman of Loulan.Stone wall dome, Populus euphratica spread all over.Occasionally, streams flow by, but this season has not condensed into ice.

The three of them had just arrived at the inn, and before everything was put away, a group of soldiers surrounded the entire inn.

The leader of the guards rushed to the room of the three of them with a few people, blocking all the exits involuntarily.

Lei Yuxiu guarded Xiaoman behind him, watching these Sidi soldiers vigilantly.

Shen Lie shouted, "What are you doing?!"

At this time, a strong fragrance of roses came from outside the door, and a Xidi woman in a luxurious dark purple velvet jacket and long skirt, holding Lei Yuxiu's jade pendant, strode into their room.

The moment he saw the woman, Chang Xiaoman was about to faint from the scent of roses on her body.

But after a closer look, the word "beautiful" is not enough to describe this woman's temperament and appearance.

She picked up the jade pendant, stared at Lei Yuxiu, and asked straight to the point: "Is this your jade pendant?"

Lei Yuxiu glanced over, "Yes."

"Come on! Take him away!" The woman smiled and immediately ordered loudly.

Shen Lie immediately drew out his sword and stood in front of Lei Yuxiu.

Chang Xiaoman also stood in front of Lei Yuxiu, "Hey! There must be a reason for taking someone away."

"Reason?" The woman laughed loudly, "Our Princess Tianshan once announced to the world that any man who owns the jade pendant she likes can become her consort. Now, when the princess sees this jade pendant, it is the destined one, so this jade pendant Your master is about to become our princess' consort."

"What?!!!" Chang Xiaoman was stunned, "Isn't it someone who offered the jade pendant and who is the son-in-law?"

The woman laughed loudly, "How is it possible? The person who made the contribution is so obscene, how could it be possible for this jade pendant to be destined forever. Under the torture of the princess to extract a confession, he has already confessed that the jade pendant belongs to a son."

The woman walked up to Lei Yuxiu and said respectfully, "Congratulations, my son-in-law. Our princess is waiting for you in the palace."

"Wait! No!" Chang Xiaoman stretched out his hands to stop him, "Why do you say you want him to be a son-in-law, and he has to follow!"

"Hey, little girl. It seems that this son is your husband?"

"Not yet...not yet."

"Then what qualifications do you have to stop it? What an honor it is to be the son-in-law of Princess Xidi Tianshan. It is a blessing that many people can't ask for. Don't stop this young master's path to prosperity. "

Chang Xiaoman was so anxious that he jumped, this joke was too big.She had never heard of Lei Yuxiu having anything to do with Princess Sidi.

She looked back at Lei Yuxiu, but saw that he didn't say anything, and the look in his eyes was unpredictable.

"Yuxiu? What are you thinking?"

Lei Yuxiu shook her hand, raised his head and said to the woman, "I'll go with you."

"What?!" Chang Xiaoman's eyes almost fell out of surprise, "Lei Yuxiu, what kind of Tianshan princess are you really going to be the son-in-law of?!"

"Don't worry." Lei Yuxiu gave Chang Xiaoman a firm look, then bypassed her and followed the alluring woman directly.

Before going out, he glanced at Shen Lie.

Shen Lie understood the order.

Chang Xiaoman stood there dumbfounded.

Chang Xiaoman came to his senses after all Xidi soldiers had evacuated.

"Shen Lie? What's the situation?" Chang Xiaoman asked.

Shen Lie cupped his hands and replied to her: "Young Master has a plan, Madam don't need to worry."

"What are your plans? Why didn't you tell me?" Chang Xiaoman was angry and annoyed, and questioned Shen Lie with his hips on his hands.

"Ma'am, don't worry."

"Don't worry?! He's going to be someone else's son-in-law, why don't you worry?!"

"..." Shen Lie didn't answer.

"Is it your plan to buy a monster with a waist pendant? Did you know from the beginning that the boss of the monster market was looking for a jade pendant for the princess? What else did you not tell me?!"

Shen Lie lowered his head and refused to answer Chang Xiaoman's question, but only said: "Young Master ordered his subordinates to keep secret from Madam. Madam, please don't worry, stay safe and don't be impatient."

Chang Xiaoman knew Shen Lie's temper of wholeheartedly protecting the Lord.

It is impossible for him to disobey Lei Yuxiu's orders.

Chang Xiaoman sat down on the stool with his hands folded in his arms, feeling sullen.

And on the other side-

Lei Yuxiu entered the palace of Sidi with the alluring woman—the princess's maid in charge, Yueniang.

The princess' palace has white brick walls and emerald glazed roof.

Although it is cold outside, the interior is full of greenery and a hundred flowers bloom.

In a sunny greenhouse, a girl in a golden dress is sitting, waiting for Lei Yuxiu's arrival.

"See the princess." Yueniang bowed to the princess.

The princess's full attention was attracted by Lei Yuxiu, she stood up, trotted to Lei Yuxiu, her eyes were filled with water vapor, like a blushing deer, she yelled delicately: "Brother General, I finally Got you."

Many years ago, Princess Rong Li of Tianshan was just a little girl of three or four years old. At that time, she went to Dapei with her mother and concubine, and met an assassin on the way, and happened to be rescued by General Lei and his son who were passing through the place.

The little princess Rong Li doesn't remember the name of her benefactor.

But he remembered the jade pendant that Lei Yuxiu was wearing at that time.

At this time, the little princess was fourteen years old, and wanted to find her elder brother, the general whom she had admired for many years, so she declared that the whole world was looking for this jade.

The Regent of Sidi, Rong Zhi, turned a blind eye to this matter and did not ask any further questions.

No one thought that she could really find this jade pendant.

But today, the little princess's many years of prayers have finally come true, and her general brother is standing in front of her in a heroic manner.

He is as handsome and extraordinary as she imagined day and night, and he is the man she must marry in this life.

Lei Yuxiu lowered his head, looked at her shy look, and smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, "Long time no see, Xiao Rongli."
