Seeing Lin Luoling looking at him with some annoyance, Jiang Chi pulled Lin Luoling a few steps to the side.

He said, "You took the Qilin jade pendant from His Royal Highness Prince An, so it's not right to take it for nothing. I used the thirty thousand taels of silver to buy him a Luanfeng jade pendant. This is called reciprocity, right? This way you won't owe him anything."

Lin Luoling glared at Jiang Chi and said rudely, "I didn't even want to take his Qilin jade pendant. You forced it on me. Besides, I have to return it to him."

"Well..." Jiang Chi smiled and waved his fan, "Whether he has the Qilin jade pendant or not, Your Majesty must appoint him as the crown prince, and then the black Qilin jade pendant must be replaced.

The Luanfeng Jade Pendant I gave him is much more valuable in his hands than the Qilin Jade Pendant."

"Tsk..." Lin Luoling felt that Jiang Chi was bragging, "The Qilin Jade Pendant is only for the prince. Apart from the Crown Prince's Yunlong Jade Pendant and His Majesty's Jade Seal, nothing can compare to it. You make a Luanfeng Jade Pendant sound like it's something extraordinary."

"Of course it is extraordinary," Jiang Chi said seriously, "Do you know that this phoenix jade pendant is used by Empress Qi of Tianqi to command the Jing Luanfeng Pavilion?"

When Lin Luoling heard the word "Phoenix Jade Pendant" just now, she felt it sounded familiar, but she just couldn't remember it for a moment. Now after hearing Jiang Chi say this, she suddenly looked at Jiang Chi and asked:

"Didn't Empress Qi's phoenix jade pendant get lost?"

Qi Shenghua, the first queen of Tianqi, was a very powerful woman. She was brave and good at fighting. She led an army of 8,000 women and captured six cities in two months. In just over two years, she helped the First Emperor of Tianqi to establish the country.

When the First Emperor first ascended the throne, he named Qi Shenghua the empress and specially made a phoenix jade pendant for her. Empress Qi then established the Jing Luanfeng Pavilion.

Jing Luanfeng Pavilion houses extremely outstanding women from all walks of life, including not only female generals who are good at fighting, but also female secret guards with extraordinary martial arts. More importantly, Jing Luanfeng Pavilion is able to collect secrets, letters and reports from other countries.

At that time, the First Emperor and Empress Qi were afraid that Jing Luanfeng Pavilion would be secretly controlled by someone with ulterior motives, so they used the Luanfeng jade pendant as an order.

Therefore, only the Luanfeng Jade Pendant can command those extraordinary women in Jingluanfeng Pavilion.

Unfortunately, after Empress Qi passed away, the phoenix jade pendant also disappeared.

At that time, Princess Chonghua, the daughter of Empress Qi, spent tens of thousands of taels of gold and sent countless aides and secret guards to search for the whereabouts of the Luanfeng Jade Pendant, but she was unable to find it until her death.

Every emperor after that wanted to get this phoenix jade pendant, but they could not find it. After Empress Qi passed away, Jing Luanfeng Pavilion became deserted and its whereabouts are unknown.

Lin Luoling said in disbelief: "You can buy the Luanfeng Jade Pendant for 30,000 taels of silver? Did you get cheated? Besides, Jing Luanfeng Pavilion no longer exists. Even if you buy the real Luanfeng Jade Pendant, it seems to be of no use."

Nearly three hundred years have passed, how come Jing Luanfeng Pavilion still exists?

Jiang Chi raised his chin and said proudly, "Hey! Sister, who are you looking down on? Your brother is so smart and talented, how can I be deceived? Besides, who told you that Jing Luanfeng Pavilion no longer exists?"

Lin Luoling was about to ask, how do you know that the Luanfeng jade pendant you bought is real, where is Jing Luanfeng Pavilion now? ...

Unexpectedly, it took only four of Jiang Feng's men to lift one box.

He came over to Jiang Chi with a very gloomy look and said:

"Young Master Jiang, I don't have enough people to carry away four boxes. How about I leave someone here to guard it, and then we can come back later?"

Jiang Feng didn't expect that Jiang Chi asked them to carry the box, and the box was so heavy and big that it was very difficult for four people to carry it.

Jiang Chi tilted his head to take a look, then waved his hand and said, "No need. This prince can carry two boxes by himself. Take these for today. If you need them in the future, you can come back for them."

Jiang Feng looked at Jiang Chi strangely, obviously not believing that Jiang Chi could carry two boxes by himself.

Jiang Chi saw this, without saying a word, walked forward, rolled up his sleeves and casually tied them around his shoulders, then walked out pulling a box in one hand.

Jiang Feng:......

This is not lifting, but pulling.

Even if it was arrogant, Jiang Feng and his men had just tried it.

I can’t pull it. I can’t pull it at all.

Jiang Feng followed closely behind, and seeing Jiang Chi pulling the box like that, he inexplicably felt a little painful.

He said carefully, "Young Master Jiang, if you pull it like this, please be slow. Don't shake off the gemstones."

Jiang Chi replied nonchalantly, "Don't worry, the gemstones on it can't be cut off even with a knife, let alone shaken off. Butler Jiang, do you think it's made of paper?"

Jiang Feng wanted to ask, you said it was so solid, how did you get it off just now?

Can he say that? Obviously not!

Because he had been getting along with Jiang Chi for these days, he found that Jiang Chi did not have a very good temper.

Jiang Feng paused, and said to Lin Luoling and Biyou Bizhi who followed him: "Biyou Bizhi, let's try and see if we can drag a box and go out with Young Master Jiang?"

Biyou and Bizhi turned to look at Lin Luoling, and seeing Lin Luoling nod, the two of them followed Jiang Feng to drag a box.

There were three people, two pulling hard and one pushing hard.

For a long while, the box didn't move at all.

Perhaps the three of them used too much strength and their faces turned red.

Jiang Chi came back dragging two boxes, burst into laughter, and said to Jiang Feng, "Butler Jiang, don't be greedy! Help Ling'er, let's go."

Jiang Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said breathlessly, "If these belong to Young Master Jiang, then I won't take them. I'm just afraid that someone else will come here and take these good things for nothing."

Jiang Chi said confidently: "Don't worry, butler Jiang, no one can find us here except me. Hurry up and catch up. If the fire of the tampon goes out soon, it will be difficult for us to go out."

After saying that, Jiang Chi turned around and walked out, dragging the box.

Lin Luoling immediately understood that this cave was exactly the same as the library in the Lin Mansion, and only Jiang Chi could open it.

On the way out, Lin Luoling was very puzzled. How could Jiang Chi find the non-existent cave and library?

Who sold the phoenix jade pendant to Jiang Chi for 30,000 taels of silver?

You know, even if the price of the Luanfeng Jade Pendant was three million taels of gold, Prince Jin and Prince Rui, as well as Emperor Deshun and even the high-ranking ministers in the court, would buy it at all costs, even if it meant losing everything they had.

After all, the phoenix jade pendant is a priceless treasure that cannot be measured by money. Whoever obtains the phoenix jade pendant is considered to have obtained half of the world.

Jiang Chi walked very quickly and soon he was at the front leading the way for everyone.

After leaving the cave and before going down the stairs, Jiang Chi kicked each of the two boxes, and the two boxes rolled down the stairs one after the other.

Jiang Feng's scalp was tingling as he watched, and he thought: How much strength does it take to kick like that?

It was difficult for the four people to carry the boxes down the stairs. Seeing this, Jiang Chi took the boxes from them and kicked them down the stairs one by one.

After everyone finally got down from the North Mountain, Jiang Chi stuffed boxes into the carriage one by one, filling it up completely.

Jiang Chi took a look and said apologetically, "Sister Ling'er can't sit in the carriage. If these boxes are exposed outside, someone might notice them and attack them secretly.

I'll drive, and Sister Ling'er will sit beside me, and we can go back home together, okay?"

Lin Luoling knew Jiang Chi's concerns and that he was truly doing this for the good of the Lin family, so she nodded in agreement.

The coachman looked embarrassed. Jiang Chi had snatched his job. Was he going to let him walk back to the Lin Mansion?

He was afraid that he would not be able to return to the Lin Mansion even when it got dark.

Jiang Chi's follower rode up on horseback, and stretched out his hand to the driver, saying, "Let's ride back home together."

Jiang Feng and Yan Jin rode one horse together, and the other one was given to Biyou and Bizhi.

Just at this moment, a shrill scream suddenly came from behind.

Hearing the voice, Jiang Feng looked back and suddenly realized that Lu Zhe, whom he had selected from the Staff Office four years ago, did not follow.

Jiang Feng said anxiously, "There are many wild animals in the North Mountain. Why didn't Lu Zhe catch up? Could he be in danger?"

Jiang Chi sneered and said, "No, no, Lu Zhe is simply looking for death."
