748 Old Acquaintance

“You agreed readily. I hope you won’t go back on your word.”

Jiang Ming was very satisfied with Liang Sisi’s answer and nodded.

“Let’s go with them. The more the merrier.”

At this moment, Zhu Asi and Zhu An’an stood up.

Jiang Ming was touched.

No matter what he did, Zhu Asi and Zhu An’an would stand behind him and shoulder many burdens with him.

“There’s no need for that. This time, you have another mission.”

A trace of rationality flashed in Jiang Ming’s eyes.

The best way to solve the problem of the king chasing them away was to seriously injure the king.

At that time, he would not prioritize chasing them away.

“What…”

Zhu Asi and Zhu An’an were shocked and at a loss. They did not know what to say.

Then, thinking about Prince Qiqihar’s dark expression earlier, they immediately understood.

If the king was not severely injured, they would be the ones to be chased away and humiliated.

When the time came, he would chase them away and not care about their lives.

“We know,” Zhu Asi and Zhu An’an said at the same time.

In order to avoid attracting the attention of the Daliang Kingdom and the Qiqihar Kingdom, Jiang Ming and Liang Sisi rode their horses and started their journey overnight.

According to Liang Sisi, she found out that the jade bracelet was taken to a brothel in a small kingdom called Fengyu Kingdom.

They were going to the brothel to get the jade bracelet.

As there were too many skilled craftsmen in the brothel, Liang Sisi could not take out the jade bracelet.

The two horses ran well into the morning and were so tired that they collapsed on the ground.

Looking at the two hardworking horses, Liang Sisi and Jiang Ming knew they had to let them rest. They planned to find an inn nearby to stay.

Fortunately, they had already arrived in Fengyu Kingdom. They would have to rest for a while before going to the brothel.

Jiang Ming did not expect to see an old acquaintance when he found an inn.

At this moment, Sikong Wuyuan wiped his sweat and stood outside an inn. He called everyone to the inn, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Jiang Ming and Liang Sisi.

“Come over quickly. Are you here to eat?”

His smile was warm, and his eyes were completely focused on Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming smiled faintly. “What a coincidence, Mr. Sikong.”

He really did not expect Sikong Wuyuan to open an inn.

He could not help but doubt Sikong Wuyuan’s master, Zuqing Yiyi. Did Sikong Wuyuan really have any talent?

Noticing Jiang Ming’s suspicious gaze, Sikong Wuyuan suddenly became serious. “My mission in the temple has ended, so I came to this inn.

“I bought this inn before and planned to come here after completing the mission. I originally thought that I wouldn’t be able to complete the mission, so I gave up. In the end, I didn’t expect the mission to be completed so unexpectedly.”

His eyes were filled with satisfaction. “I’m not that old now. I can enjoy the rest of my life in peace.”

Jiang Ming could not help but laugh.

Sikong Wuyuan was a little funny.

Life in the temple was not bad, so why did he say that he could not enjoy himself?

Moreover, when this inn was busy, how could life be easy? It would be tiring.

“Who is this? Do you know each other?”

Seeing that Jiang Ming did not reply, Liang Sisi could not help but be curious. She scrutinized Sikong Wuyuan in front of her.

Sikong Wuyuan quickly introduced himself, “I’m the owner of this inn, Sikong Wuyuan. I’ve met Lord Ning Caichen once before.”

He did not tell her about his encounter with Jiang Ming in detail. He just briefly explained it.

Then, he felt a little regretful.

He did not see the scene past the small door before. If he were given another chance, he would definitely endure the pain and not faint. It was really a pity.

When he was alone with Ning Caichen later, he would definitely ask him what he saw when he went in.

“Yes, I trust Mr. Sikong very much. We’ll let him arrange our accommodation this time. Our horses are tired anyway, so we need to let them rest,” Jiang Ming looked at Liang Sisi and said seriously.

His idea was very good.

Sikong Wuyuan laughed. “You two don’t need to spend money to stay here. As my friends, I insist.”

“No need. I have silver. This amount is nothing.”

Liang Sisi did not want to take advantage of anyone, especially her friends.

As she spoke, she tied the bag around her waist and placed it on the counter.

Sikong Wuyuan could not help but sigh when he saw Liang Sisi’s generosity. “Alright then. Since the princess is so generous, I’ll accept it. Thank you, Princess.”

Liang Sisi was confused when she heard Sikong Wuyuan’s words. “How do you know that I’m the princess?”

However, Sikong Wuyuan did not reply to Liang Sisi. Instead, he added, “Not only do I know that you are a princess, but I also know that you are the second princess of the Daliang Kingdom.”

Liang Sisi was even more incredulous. Her mouth was wide open. She stuttered, “You… How did you know?”

At this moment, Jiang Ming accidentally glanced at the token on Liang Sisi’s waist. The token was crystal clear and had the word “Liang” on it. He immediately understood everything.

“The token on your waist has exposed your identity.”

He could not help but remind Liang Sisi.

Liang Sisi coughed, and her face instantly turned red from embarrassment. However, she decided to put the token on again. “It’s okay. As long as I forget this ever happened, I won’t be embarrassed.”

Liang Sisi did not know whether to laugh or cry, but Jiang Ming and Sikong Wuyuan did not say anything else and continued to talk about other things.

After dinner, Liang Sisi felt a little sleepy and went to rest.

Sikong Wuyuan asked about the door.

“Nothing big happened. I just met a woman. That woman was a princess, so I let her go.”

Jiang Ming briefly explained his experience.

“How boring.”

Sikong Wuyuan shook his head.

Jiang Ming did not know whether to laugh or cry. He also went to rest.

When it was nighttime, Jiang Ming and Liang Sisi were almost done resting.

They went to the brothel. The two of them had already planned it out. Jiang Ming would distract the brothel girl, Xiao Yu’er, who had the jade bracelet, while Liang Sisi would take the jade bracelet.

Liang Sisi sneaked up to the roof, and Jiang Ming was invited into the brothel by the brothel madam.

With Sikong Wuyuan’s sponsorship, it was easy for Jiang Ming to ask for Xiao Yu’er. Soon, Xiao Yu’er welcomed him into the establishment.
