Chen Dong rushed back to Kuaiji Mountain. Wang Shou led a group of people dressed as civilians and rushed to the ambush site.

Because Yiwu County is near Kuaiji Mountain, and Tang Xuan's Guangxi Wolf Soldiers were stationed there, Wang Shu was wary of this army for fear of being discovered by them, so he set out dressed as a commoner.

Wang Shun lurked halfway from Hangzhou City to Kuaiji Mountain, waiting for Cuiqiao to return with goods.

Let's talk about Tiantai Mountain. Qi Ying and Wang Yuejiao were trapped on Tiantai Mountain and had nothing else to do except training troops.

In their free time, they practiced martial arts together, watched the scenery together, caught fish together, cooked together, and finally slept together.

During these three months, except when Qi Ying came down the mountain for business, the two were inseparable as long as they stayed on the mountain, living a sweet and happy life, like a newlywed couple.

Wang Yuejiao said sweetly: "Qi Ying, when will we have the wedding?"

Qi Ying replied: "When the war is over, I will take you back to Qitang Village, Shandong to hold a wedding."

Wang Yuejiao smiled happily and said: "Okay, I have to choose the fabric for the bride's dress myself."

Qi Ying smiled and said: "No problem, there is a cloth shop in our village. There are many cloths in the shop. You should like some."

Wang Yuejiao said happily: "Okay, if there is something I like, I won't go to the county town to buy it."

While the two were eating, Wang Yuejiao suddenly felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, covering her mouth as if she was in pain.

Qi Ying put down the bowl and chopsticks and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"

Wang Yuejiao said angrily: "I, I feel like vomiting."

Qi Ying gently stroked her back and asked, "Do you still want to vomit? Are you feeling better?"

Wang Yuejiao covered her mouth and shook her head and said, "I still feel like vomiting."

Qi Ying said in surprise: "What's going on? Are the vegetable leaves not washed?"

Wang Yuejiao shook her head and said: "It's not Caiye's problem, I'm afraid it's..."

She hesitated to speak, and Qi Ying said anxiously: "It's not a problem with the leaves, it's a problem with the gastrointestinal tract. I'll take you to see a doctor."

Wang Yuejiao shook her head and said, "No need to look, I don't have any gastrointestinal pain and I'm not sick."

Qi Ying said in surprise: "You're not sick? What's going on?"

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid..." Wang Yuejiao hesitated before speaking.

Qi Ying was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot and asked, "Yuejiao, why are you on guard against me? Just tell me what's going on."

She lowered her head and replied shyly: "I'm afraid I'm happy."

"Are you happy?" Qi Ying's eyes widened and she didn't understand.

She shyly replied: "You still don't understand, I thought you would praise me."

Qi Ying shook her head and said, "I don't understand, what is Youxi?"

"You're stupid," Wang Yuejiao raised her hand to slap Qi Ying, "Don't you want a child?"

"Child?" Qi Ying suddenly realized and said in surprise, "You mean you have my child? This is really great."

She lowered her head shyly and said, "Don't you want it?"

"I think, I think," Qi Ying hugged her happily, kissed her forehead and said, "Thank you Yuejiao, if I could fly, I would carry you to Qitang Village right now and make our Qi family happy together.

.”

Wang Yuejiao worriedly said: "If I return to Qitang Village in the future and the child is in my arms, will your family say that I have no rules and that I gave birth to the child before the wedding?"

Qi Ying patted her chest and promised: "Don't worry, don't think too much, they won't say anything. We are war-torn mandarin ducks. Where can we have the time and conditions to hold a wedding?"

But we can't wait until the war is over to become husband and wife. If this war lasts for ten years, I won't let you down.

Don't worry, Yuejiao, our Qi family will definitely regard you as a hero, why are we willing to talk about you?"

Wang Yuejiao smiled like a flower and said happily: "That's good, that's good."

Cui Qiao came to Hangzhou wearing a gauze mask and found Luo Longwen's shop.

She said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I want to see your chief shopkeeper Luo Longwen."

The shopkeeper said displeasedly: "You want to see our big shopkeeper? Who are you? How much business do you have to do?"

Cuiqiao raised three fingers and said, "This is the number."

The shopkeeper asked curiously: "Three hundred taels?" Cuiqiao shook her head.

The shopkeeper's attitude improved and he said, "Three thousand taels?" Cuiqiao still shook her head.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Is it thirty thousand taels?"

"Well, yes." Cuiqiao nodded and replied.

The shopkeeper immediately nodded and bowed happily and said, "Please come in, sir."

The shopkeeper led the way up the stairs. A waiter jumped upstairs and told Luo Longwen that a big customer was coming. The other waiters in the store warmly entertained the entourage brought by Cui Qiao.

Cuiqiao was taken to the top floor and found that Luo Longwen had already cooked jasmine tea. A red candle was lit under the crystal clear glass teapot, and the flame was very gentle and white steam was coming from the mouth of the pot.

The shopkeeper bowed and said: "Master, the guest is here."

Luo Longwen stood up, saluted with a smile and said: "Luo Longwen, the ink maker, welcomes our guests, please take a seat."

"Thank you!" Cui Qiao sat down.

Luo Longwen saw that the visitor was a stranger, and he was still wearing a mask to sell his secrets, so he poured tea and explained: "We have rules in our store. Unknown big customers have to report to their family name. Only those who stand in line behind the scenes must be members of the strict party."

.

Especially clients who come to do big business must have a letter of introduction from Mr. Zhao Wenhua, otherwise they won’t be able to do business.”

Cuiqiao took off her mask and said with a smile: "Do you want me to introduce myself to you?"

Luo Longwen was shocked when he saw that the visitor turned out to be Cui Qiao. He was overjoyed and said, "Ah, ah, it's Miss Cui Qiao here. I saw that right."

Cuiqiao smiled sweetly and said, "I'm not a stranger, so why did I scare you like this?"

Luo Longwen chuckled and said: "Last time I said goodbye to you on the boat, I haven't seen you for half a year. I often think of you. I wonder how you have been doing in the past six months?"

Cui Qiao followed Xu Hai's suggestion and concealed the marriage. She smiled and said, "This is how we live our lives. It's just that the war made people upset."

In the past six months, Luo Longwen had heard that Cui Qiao was Xin Wulang's spy, and that Cui Qiao had followed Xu Hai as Mrs. Yazhai. He had always been dubious.

Because the rumors related to Cuiqiao never stopped, and each time was different. He would not go to the battlefield to investigate, so he was half-believed in these hearsay rumors.

Luo Longwen asked: "Xu Hai rebelled. I heard that he kidnapped you and became his wife. Is this true?"

Cuiqiao looked aggrieved and replied: "I am just a weak woman. I was robbed by Xin Wulang and Xu Hai without any control over me. Including this time I came to you to buy ink, I couldn't help myself."

Others say that I have become a spy, others say that I have become the wife of Yazhai, others say that I and Xinda are together, how can I explain clearly?

When I was an oiran in Taizhou, Brother Luo, you were always my customer. At that time, people rumored that we were a talented couple.

You also told everyone that I will be yours sooner or later, and you will marry me in a big sedan chair. Now it seems that you are just talking and laughing.

I am an oiran from Taizhou and a famous courtier from the south of the Yangtze River. Wherever I go there is a lot of gossip, how can I explain it?"

Luo Longwen no longer had any doubts, and handed Cuiqiao the tear towel and comforted her gently: "No need to explain, no need to explain, I am the one who talks about nothing and likes to ask questions. Don't be angry. Don't be angry.

You will always be the lover of my dreams, as beautiful as a lotus. I can’t wait to give my heart to you. How could I not believe in you?

Cuiqiao, you came to my place today, why don't you leave? Let's live happily together. My calligraphy shop is enough for us to live a good life with good food and clothing."

Cui Qiao felt numb after hearing this, and was secretly anxious, Luo Longwen, please stop talking, I already have a husband.

She pretended to cry and said: "What were you doing before? Only now do you think of marrying me."

Luo Longwen said aggrievedly: "I wanted to marry you back then, but the madam refused to agree."

Cuiqiao smiled and said: "Don't mention the past, it is full of memories. Now there is no point in blaming anyone.

I came to see you this time because I hope you can do me a favor. Otherwise, I would not be in the mood to think about the emotions between men and women."

Luo Longwen said anxiously: "If you need any help from me, just ask."

Cuiqiao cried: "I found my biological parents, but Xin Wulang threatened to kill them.

I begged Xin Wulang that if I could help him buy calligraphy treasures, I would ask him to let my parents go.

Xin Wulang agreed to my request and let me come out to find you to buy calligraphy treasures. If I cannot complete the task, my parents will not survive."

Luo Longwen gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Xin Wulang deserves to die! If you dare to bully you, I will never end it with him."

Cuiqiao pretended to be pitiful and said: "I am a weak woman. What can I do? I can only pray to complete this mission as soon as possible and rescue my parents."

Luo Longwen's mood returned to calm, and his face was confused: "We have a customer range for selling ink in batches. Customers who are not within the customer range cannot be supplied in bulk to them.

In particular, it cannot be sold to foreigners, as it is a violation of the Ming Dynasty's maritime prohibitions. If you are found to have violated the maritime prohibitions, you will be fined and bankrupted at the least, and you will be jailed and have your home confiscated at the worst."

Cuiqiao was startled and said pitifully: "So that's it. I can't embarrass you, so let's forget it."

She stood up and was about to leave. Luo Longwen hurriedly grabbed her arm and said, "Don't worry, I have other ways."

Cuiqiao turned around in surprise and said, "What else can I do?"

Luo Longwen pointed out: "You are familiar with Xu Hai. If you go to him and borrow Xu Weixue's jade medal, there will be no problem using his jade medal to purchase goods.

Of course, if I can't borrow it, I will take the risk and sell it to you. You are the girl of my dreams and I can't help but satisfy you."

Luo Longwen's answer was unexpected by Cui Qiao.

She took out Xu Weixue's jade medal from her bag and said happily: "We have already thought of your difficulties and borrowed the jade medal from Xu Weixue. It is guaranteed to be a fake."

Luo Longwen took the jade medal and saw that it was indeed the jade medal dedicated to Xu Weixue, so he no longer hesitated to answer her: "I will definitely help you with this. After you rescue your parents, move to my place quickly."

Cui Qiao didn't give a clear answer, but just nodded and said: "I will discuss it with my parents."

Luo Longwen was overjoyed and took Cui Qiao to the ink room to choose ink.
