Not long after, Zhao Chong came back in a hurry, holding a piece of paper in his hand.

"What's going on? Did you find anything?"

"Yes, Master, please take a look."

Zhao Chong said and presented the scroll in his hand.

Qi Yue took it in confusion, opened it and immediately frowned.

"The portrait above is that of your Marquis..."

Zhao Chong hesitated and said, "It should be."

Qi Yue pursed her lips and looked at the cold and beautiful face on the paper for a while.

Not to mention, this Western Chu man is really good at painting, and he can paint Zhao Xiyan's paintings to perfection.

It's so similar.

She pointed to another ugly-looking woman with a dark face on the paper and said, "Who is this? Why put her and Zhao Xiyan's portraits on the same paper?"

Zhao Chong said with an embarrassed look on his face: "To tell you something about Master, this seems to be Master..."

"I......"

Qi Yue stared at the ugly, fat face on the drawing paper and fell into deep thought for a while.

This face seems a bit familiar!

But this seems to be what it was like when he first traveled through time.

The corners of her lips twitched uncontrollably.

"What is going on? Why is there such a portrait?"

"Master, it's like this." Zhao Chong immediately stepped forward and said in a low voice: "It is said that it was Princess Xichu's idea, and the investigation at the city gate was also related to this portrait."

Qi Yue raised her eyebrows and looked at herself in the portrait again.

"Well, what a fool."

With a strong force on her hand, she tore the painting into pieces.

How dare Qin Lingwei do this?

Zhao Xiyan is his man. Princess Xichu dares to spread her man's portrait all over the world. Does this mean she is blind?

Now that she has forgotten the ugliness she made in Longnan last time, she must give her some good looks this time!

But was Qin Lingwei afraid that others would recognize her when she painted her like this?

It's ridiculous.

This is convenient for her, as she doesn’t have to put on makeup to cover it up!

Sure enough, when it was the three people's turn to cross the border, the sergeant at the city gate just glanced briefly and let the three people enter the city.

They immediately chose a lively restaurant in Yindu City, planning to have a meal and see if they could find out anything.

There are many people and things going on in the restaurant, which is the best place to get information.

Qi Yue was dressed in neat women's clothing and had an extraordinary bearing. As soon as she entered the door, the waiter came up to greet her.

"Are the three of us together? What do you want to eat?"

Qi Yue gave a faint look, and Zhao Chong immediately understood.

"Bring the best dishes in your store and your signature dishes."

Business people like customers who are generous.

The waiter immediately burst into laughter and responded happily.

"Okay, our signature dishes will be served immediately."

The three of them chose a less conspicuous location to sit down and looked at it carefully.

There were people coming and going in this restaurant, it was noisy, everyone was there.

The clothes of some people clearly were not from Xichu.

"I didn't expect that Xichu would attach great importance to business dealings." Qi Yue couldn't help but say.

"Yes, Master." Zhao Chong agreed, "Now because of the war, I am still a lot cooler after all!"

"..."

Qi Yue was surprised for a moment.

——If there was no war, how prosperous would this be?

The Emperor of Western Chu was very self-aware.

Knowing that the country was poor, they vigorously developed trade and trade, and the results were indeed pretty good.

At this time, several angry guests came in from outside the door and sat at the table next to Qi Yue.

"Damn it, I was so unlucky this time, I almost got detained." A fat man sat down and cursed.

Another thin-faced man chuckled.

"Who made you look so much like Miss Qi in the portrait? People thought you were a man disguised as a woman, oh... no, you were a woman disguised as a man..."

Upon hearing this, several other people also burst out laughing.

"That's right, the fat man looks exactly like the woman in the portrait."

"you do not say."

"I really didn't expect us fat people to look like the eldest lady of the Qi family... Hahahaha."

"..."

Knowing that the fat man in the portrait was herself, and now hearing someone say it with her own ears, Qi Yue also gritted her silver teeth.

But she wasn't strong enough to get up and hit someone, she just couldn't hold back and said something.

"I really can't understand what this Princess Xichu wants to do to paint that kind of portrait? What purpose is she trying to achieve with this portrait?"

"What's the other reason for this? It's obvious that he just wants to humiliate Miss Qi."

As soon as she finished speaking, the thin man at the next table looked over to their table.

Qi Yue didn't expect that someone would answer her casual murmur, so she greeted politely.

"Isn't it the first time for these brothers to come to Yindu?"

The bearded man who looked like the boss among the group chuckled.

"Of course not. We brothers go to Yindu all the time, and we always come seven or eight times a year."

Seeing that although these people spoke rudely, they also had a generous spirit, Qi Yue couldn't help but feel some appreciation.

At this time, the waiter brought all the dishes over and set a large table full, while the few people who had just come in were still waiting for the dishes to be served.

Qi Yue thought for a while, then stood up and greeted warmly.

"Brothers, my two brothers and I are visiting this place for the first time. We are not familiar with the place. I would like to ask some questions from you. We are destined to meet each other. You might as well come and sit with us."

The few people looked at each other, and then they all responded happily and directly put the two tables together.

Qi Yue soon learned their identities.

These people are escorts from Nanyue, and this time they are also entrusted by merchants to deliver a batch of goods to Yindu.

Qi Yue simply told them that she was in the medicinal materials business.

Unexpectedly, the big fat man smiled and said something.

"The girl is so tender-skinned, but I didn't expect that she is also a wanderer."

This was said so carelessly that Qi Yue didn't think much about it, but when Zhao Chong and Zhao Tai heard this, they immediately opened their eyes and clenched their hands into fists.

Qi Yue hurriedly gave him a look, and the two of them instantly regained their composure.

The bearded man sitting opposite saw this, and his expression immediately became more vigilant.

"Excuse me, who are these three people?"

Qi Yue smiled slightly.

"Brother, don't be nervous, we are indeed in the medicinal business."

As she spoke, she took out a bottle of patent medicine from her arms and placed it on the table.

This was the first batch of wound medicine released by the new pharmaceutical factory. Mrs. Zhang showed her two bottles and she put them away.

"I think some of the elder brothers are very brave. Maybe one day we will have a chance to cooperate."

"Ah... Cooperation and cooperation."

The bearded man suddenly smiled broadly, but his eyes were fixed on the bottle of patent medicine on the table.

Suddenly, the thin-faced man's eyes widened and he screamed strangely.

"Isn't this the pain medicine from Qi's Pharmaceutical Company? Is this girl in the patent medicine business? It's hard to buy this thing even if you have money."

Qi's Pharmaceutical?

They should be talking about Qi's Pharmaceuticals established in Dongjiang.

Qi Yue nodded silently.

"How many brothers know about Qi's Pharmaceuticals?"

"How could you not know?" The fat man immediately took over the conversation and introduced it enthusiastically.

"Young lady, you don't know something. We escorts are most afraid of encountering orders for patent medicines, but we also most want to encounter orders for patent medicines."

Qi Yue was a little confused.

"Why?"

"Of course it's because escorts are the most profitable, but they are also the easiest to be targeted." The thin-faced man intervened.

Hearing this, Qi Yue nodded in understanding.

Judging from the accounts sent by Shen Zikuang in the past six months, Qi's Pharmaceutical has indeed tried its best to produce medicines, but it is also true that the supply has always exceeded demand.

This is also the reason why I want to build a second large pharmaceutical factory.

With this topic of patent medicine as the starting point, several people immediately started chatting very enthusiastically.

From these people, Qi Yue learned a lot about Nanyue.

Speaking of which, among the four countries now, the one Qi Yue knows least about is the Nanyue Kingdom.

Meeting these Nanyue people this time was an opportunity.

If you know more about it, you will be able to use it if you go to Nanyue in the future.

When the conversation got heated, the bearded man suddenly sighed.

"The life of ordinary people is getting harder and harder now. Soon it will be the turn of us escorts. I don't know what will happen in the future?"

Hearing this, Qi Yue's heart moved.

"I heard that the territory of Nanyue is still very safe. I think the escort business of these elder brothers is very good!"

"What a ghost!"

The thin-faced man who drank two drinks in a row suddenly uttered a curse word.

He looked around and suddenly lowered his voice.

"Girl, you don't know something. Everything is not peaceful now. This time we came here, we almost lost our lives."
