Chapter 451: Young people these days really know how to have fun.
Upon hearing this, Pei Yan felt a chill run down the back of his neck.
He couldn't help but shiver, and secretly vowed that even if he killed Long Jinyan and the others, he would never provoke the woman in front of him.
Fang Xiaoxiao checked the belongings of Zhong Zicheng and the others and found that they were all penniless, and even a dozen of them couldn't scrape together ten taels of silver.
"Pah, a bunch of poor bastards!"
They had originally hoped to take this opportunity to make a fortune.
Now look what's happened; they haven't earned a single penny, and have even lost a lot of money.
You have to understand, the poison she made was worth a fortune, and she used up four large bottles in one go. Just thinking about it makes my wallet ache.
Fortunately, a few minutes later, Pei Yan's men came to report that they had discovered a treasure vault, and described it as containing a large amount of gold and silver jewelry.
This made Fang Xiaoxiao extremely envious.
Russian qing.
A dozen or so people had gathered in Zhong Zicheng's treasure vault.
Among them were Pei Yan's subordinates and Prefect Yang Kaitai.
And Fang Xiaoxiao, who was holding gold and silver jewelry and chuckling insanely.
As for Princess Nignana and Nimhar of the Western Regions Kingdom, they were kneeling on the ground, constantly thanking the people who saved them.
“I, Nimhar, in the name of Allah, thank you all for saving my life.”
After Nimhar finished bowing in thanks, he pulled the princess to stand aside.
At this moment, Princess Li Wan'er, escorted by Pei Yan's subordinates, entered the treasure pavilion.
When she saw the room full of gold and silver jewelry, she couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise.
"My God, how can there be so much treasure? I've never seen anything like it in my entire life."
"..."
The others secretly grumbled to themselves.
They're talking as if we've actually seen it.
Pei Yan coughed lightly to interrupt Fang Xiaoxiao's actions and whispered in her ear.
"With so many people watching, shouldn't you tone it down a bit, so as not to become a laughing stock?"
Fang Xiaoxiao pouted and turned to look at everyone present. When she saw that the princess was also there, she immediately turned around, grabbed the princess, and said with a smug look on her face.
"Hurry, hurry, we need to pack as much as possible, otherwise Lord Yang will drag us out and confiscate it, and then we'll have nothing left!"
Upon hearing this, Prefect Yang of Jiangnan Province twitched at the corner of his mouth.
He couldn't help but complain to himself.
Madam Fang, I am just old, not deaf. Please, next time you do something like this, don't say it in front of so many of your subordinates, okay?
Prefect Yang smiled and said.
"Madam Fang, please do not worry so much. I know that you were the one who devised the plan and contributed the strategy for this attack on the mountain stronghold. You even provided poison worth a thousand taels of gold. It is only right that you take more of the gold and silver in this treasure pavilion."
Fang Xiaoxiao and the princess were stuffing some jewelry into their arms.
Upon hearing what the other person said, she immediately turned her head in surprise.
"Prefect Yang, are you telling the truth?"
"My word is my bond, my lady, please rest assured."
"Alright, that's what I was waiting for. Pei Yan, quickly gather your dozen or twenty men and help me move these dozen or so chests of gold and silver treasures away!"
"..."
Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, Prefect Yang, who was usually calm, couldn't help but want to intervene.
However, he quickly turned his attention to His Highness the Crown Prince, seeking his help.
But Pei Yan seemed not to see it at all, and even turned his body away to the side.
"!!!"
Next.
Fang Xiaoxiao stood with her hands on her hips, looking at the three large chests of gold and silver jewelry on the carriage, her face showing great satisfaction.
She had originally planned to move another dozen or so boxes, but seeing the magistrate's exasperated expression, she had to abandon that decision and chose the three largest boxes instead.
"Thank goodness, it wasn't too bad this time. I really hope there will be such a good thing next time."
"Xiao Xiao, you're wrong about that. If we encounter something dangerous like this again, we might not be as lucky as we are now."
"Pah, pah, pah, you jinx! I am the chosen one, how could I not have good luck? Hurry up and spit, or I'll tickle you."
Seeing that Fang Xiaoxiao was about to hit her armpit, Li Wan'er shook her head and waved her hands repeatedly, retreating behind her.
She's terrified of being tickled now, especially when Fang Xiaoxiao tickles her; it's enough to make her laugh until she faints.
At this time.
Princess Nignana of the Western Regions, whom they had rescued, walked towards them with Nimhar.
Nignana first bowed to Fang Xiaoxiao and Li Wan'er to show her respect.
"Thank you, Miss Fang Xiao and Miss Li Wan'er, for saving my life. I am willing to be your servant in my next life."
"No, I won't mind being treated like a beast of burden. If you really want to thank me, just cover our food, lodging, and expenses when we travel to the Western Regions."
"Yes, yes, Xiaoxiao is right. Let's go to the Western Regions. As the host, you can provide us with food, drink, and entertainment!"
"This……"
Fang Xiaoxiao and the other person asked, puzzled.
"you are not willing?"
Nignana quickly shook her head in response.
“No, it’s not that I’m unwilling. The two benefactors saved my life, and I would give them all my wealth without complaint. It’s just that I can’t return to my country right now because…”
As she spoke, she looked toward Pei Yan, who was chatting with Yang Kaitai.
There was a hint of shyness in her eyes, typical of a young girl.
Fang Xiaoxiao and Li Wan'er followed each other's gaze.
Seeing that this princess from the Western Regions had such unique tastes, liking the over-sixty-year-old Prefect Yang, they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
"Sigh, it seems I'm getting old and can't keep up with the times!"
"Me too. If it were me, I would still choose Young Master Pei."
Just in time.
Pei Yan bid farewell to Prefect Yang and walked towards the group.
He first glanced at the three huge boxes on the carriage.
He then cupped his hands in greeting to Nignana.
“Princess Nignana, we have just discussed it with Prefect Yang. For the rest of the journey, you only need to follow Prefect Yang and his entourage. There is no need to worry about encountering any more dangers.”
"Ah! This...this is very kind of you, Young Master Pei, but I don't want to go back to the Western Regions right now, I..."
After hearing what he said, Nignana was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously shook her head.
Her actions left Fang Xiaoxiao and the others completely baffled.
However, Fang Xiaoxiao, who was as smart as a computer, immediately understood what the princess of the Western Regions meant.
It seems the princess has truly fallen for Prefect Yang.
"Hey, since the princess doesn't want to return to the Western Regions, why don't you come with us to the south of the Yangtze River!"
As the saying goes, "Above is heaven, below are the Jiangnan region of Suzhou and Hangzhou."
"Jiangnan is beautiful, its scenery is picturesque, and its men are even more so."
While promoting the beauty of Jiangnan, she winked at Pei Yan, as if telling him not to meddle in other people's business.
Pei Yan understood his wife's meaning slightly and quickly smiled.
"Since the princess is unwilling to return, then she can come with us to Jiangnan. Anyway, with Prefect Yang accompanying us, we can at least have some protection."
Nignana was thrilled to hear this and clapped her hands and twisted her neck in excitement.
People from the Western Regions are truly gifted in singing and dancing. Whether they're happy or unhappy, they still twist their necks and dance. I'm so envious!
Fang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but admire her in her heart, and then complained to her, who was Han Chinese.
Of the 56 ethnic groups in China, 55 are skilled in both literature and dance, while the remaining one is known for its clapping and drumming.
