The countdown to Wei Xi’s departure began, and time also pressed the fast-forward button.

During these few days, Twelve stayed up all night writing several booklets, covering everything from martial arts to hiding, tracking... Everything that Wei Xi had told him to do and that he could think of was written down.

"Miss Bai, I wrote this a little roughly because I was in a hurry. If you don't understand it, just put it aside. I will come to find you when I pass by here!"

Knowing Bai Qingyun's address, he could naturally write a letter, but doing so would expose Bai Qingyun to the people in the capital. Exposing her was not a big deal, what mattered was that she had close ties with the Second Princess, and this was no different from sending Bai Qingyun to the guillotine.

Wei Xi now wishes to erase every trace of his acquaintance with Bai Qingyun, for fear of bringing disaster to Bai Qingyun and the Bai family. Naturally, he will not allow such a thing to happen.

"After you leave, the house in Qujiang County will be sold. If you want to find me, remember to go to the Bai family in Dayang Village!"

I just received a reply from An Er today. When General Weibei heard that the whereabouts of the second princess Wei Xi had been found, he specially sent his eldest son Han Zimo to come in person. He will arrive in Qujiang County as soon as the day after tomorrow.

Han Zimo was also a famous major general and one of the best martial artists among Han Qi's grandchildren.

At the age of fourteen, he followed his father into battle. The border cannot be without the commander-in-chief, but the major general's absence for a few days will not affect the overall situation. Besides, the young man has fast feet and is the most suitable candidate to pick up Wei Xi.

"Because of me?"

Wei Xi felt a little disappointed and was afraid to hear that her friends had been in trouble because of her, but she still asked with hope.

"No, I was planning to sell it and I had already found a seller, but you just happened to come and this place is the most suitable, so I postponed it for a few days."

Houses in the county town are already in high demand. Bai Qingyun is not as anxious for money as the Xie family was in the beginning, so those who got the news are also trying hard to lower the price.

However, it was inconvenient for Bai Qingyun to travel between Dayang Village and the county town, so he directly entrusted the sale of the house to a local human trafficker and waited until he found a suitable buyer before coming over to handle the handover.

Wei Xi's arrival allowed Bai Qingyun to maximize the final value of this house. When Wei Xi left and sold the house, it would take those people more time to investigate Bai Qingyun.

This was the escape route Bai Qingyun had thought of a long time ago. Now telling Wei Xi the truth would make her worry less.

Friends are sometimes meant to be troublesome. A true friend will not feel that you are a trouble, but will feel needed because of your needs. If they think you are troublesome, then they are mostly just nodding acquaintances and are not worth making close friends with.

Wei Xi's worries started with the appearance of An Twelve. After spending so many days together, Bai Qingyun could naturally notice the changes in Wei Xi's emotions.

This is also why Bai Qingyun told Wei Xi the true situation of the house truthfully instead of choosing to hide it.

Because she really didn't think it was a trouble.

"What if I buy this house?"

As soon as he said this, Wei Xi knew that this matter was a bit difficult to handle. The princess would have a lot of properties under her name. Not to mention the properties given to the princess by the Han family and the imperial concubine, just the imperial farm given to the princess by His Majesty are all in the capital city where every inch of land is worth a lot of money. Any one of them is not something that ordinary people can compare to.

It was this kind of princess who bought a property in Qujiang County. Although the matter was not big, when you are walking on thin ice, any small matter will be magnified infinitely.

"Don't worry, the seller has already been contacted. I'll contact the person when you get to the border!"

Wei Xi took out the royal jade pendant she always carried with her, which was the symbol of her identity as the second princess.

If you encounter danger, you can save your life at the critical moment. "

The jade pendant of Her Royal Highness the Princess, who is the favorite of His Majesty, must be presented to the surrounding county government offices upon kneeling.

Wei Xi's gift has the same magical effect as the amulet bestowed upon him.

"Thank you very much, Your Highness!"

Knowing that it is a good thing, Bai Qingyun would not refuse it.

"Qingyun, I still like the name you call me."

Ever since Twelve came, Bai Qingyun hadn't called Wei Xi by her name for a long time. Here, it was disrespectful for a peasant girl to directly address her as a princess.

But it was different with the princess's approval, and it was different when it was witnessed in front of An Twelve than when they addressed him in private.

The An Twelve would hide during the day, sometimes on the beams, sometimes behind trees. As for when to change locations, it depended on the sunlight conditions at that time and place on that day. They would choose to hide wherever it was dark.

At this moment, he was standing on a tree branch. The intertwined branches perfectly concealed his figure, leaving only a pair of eyes staring everywhere. When Bai Qingyun looked up, he could just see those calm eyes.

When he heard Her Royal Highness the Princess ask Miss Bai to call her by her name, his heart had already calmed down.

When Wei Xi asked him to protect Bai Qingyun, he should have understood that Bai Qingyun's position in Her Royal Highness the Princess' heart was already irreplaceable.

"Thank you so much, Qinglan. For such a valuable thing, I should give you a return gift!"

"I gave you the jade pendant not because I wanted a gift in return, but..."

I just want to protect you where I can't see you. What's more, it's already difficult for you to protect me, so how can you have extra money to give me gifts?

Before Wei Xi could say no, Bai Qingyun walked straight into Wei Xi's room.

Wei Xi loves to practice calligraphy, and there are ready-made pens and ink in the room. Bai Qingyun occasionally discovered this habit.

He walked into her room, and by the time Wei Xi followed in, Bai Qingyun had already finished writing.

It turned out to be a calligraphy piece. Such a return gift would not cost Qingyun a lot of money and would also show the thoughtfulness. It was great!

"Qingyun, I will definitely treasure this calligraphy of yours!"

Without waiting for Wei Xi to take a closer look, he immediately made his attitude clear.

"Treasure? Why would I treasure a word like this?"

As we all know, only the writings of Confucian masters or people of noble status are worth collecting. I am just a nobody, and my handwriting is not good. I have just learned to grasp the lightness and heaviness of the characters so that they don't blur and affect the visual effect. Then, it is worth collecting.

"Didn't you give me this calligraphy as a gift?"

Even if the handwriting of a good friend is ugly, in this age when logistics and information are not well developed, occasionally looking at the handwriting of relatives and friends is also a way to express your longing!

"Hahaha~ Qinglan, how can you be so cute!"

Seeing Wei Xi’s confused look, I really wanted to rub her face. The girl’s face was delicate and white, and it must feel good to touch.

But Her Royal Highness the Princess also cared about her reputation, so Bai Qingyun stopped what she was doing, covered her stomach with one hand, supported the table with the other, and laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.
