Jiang Yanchuan held hands with Jiang Yingcheng, and Jiang Yingcheng held hands with her new friend Guan Zhili. The three of them walked slowly in Jiayu City, as leisurely as if they were visiting their own back garden.
Guan Zhili's already confused face became even more confused.
He didn't know why he joined the father and daughter to form such a strange combination. He didn't know what the emotion beating in his heart was called, let alone...
What kind of expression should he use to face the chaos in Jiayu City before him?
When the Great Rui soldiers saw that the Beiming people did not rise up to resist, they all ordered them to squat in the open space in the middle of the road in a gentle manner, and then carefully pried open the closed houses to see if there were any militants hiding in the dark, intent on counterattack.
The shops along the street that were confirmed to be safe just opened their doors. Except that there were no shopkeepers or customers inside, they looked the same as before.
The little guy holding him next to him suddenly spoke.
"Dad, Candy."
Guan Zhili turned around in response and saw that the dumpling who called himself Jiang Yingcheng loosened his hold on Emperor Mingze's hand, pointed to an open store in front, and begged for Candy.
Emperor Mingze also looked over and said solemnly, "One."
The little guy lowered his head and thought for a moment, stretched out two fingers, and two cute little dimples were dented into his fleshy little hands, and bargained. "Two."
"... Okay."
Before Emperor Mingze took a step forward, the little guy suddenly said something shocking, "Two pills a day."
Emperor Mingze's footsteps stopped suddenly, lowered his head, and glanced at the little guy coolly.
Guan Zhili shook subconsciously.
If this situation had happened to him, he would have been so frightened that he would have knelt down, kowtowed and begged for forgiveness.
No, he didn't dare to ask his Imperial Father for Candy to eat.
His Imperial Father has fine clothes and fine food, and he can eat whatever he wants, but he is not so generous to the unfavored Imperial Prince, let alone Candy. Even his daily food is not as good as that of the wealthy people outside the palace.
How could they be like the little guy in front of them, who not only had no trace of fear in his eyes, but also raised his head and tried to reason with her Imperial Father?!
"Imperial Father, don't be so stingy," the little guy said in a sweet voice, "When you were away, Liaochen Uncle always gave Chengcheng four pills to eat!"
Suddenly there was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground behind a few people, which sounded like someone falling from a high place.
Guan Zhili turned around and saw a bald monk kneeling straight on the ground, his eyes looking to his side in shock.
He saw it clearly.
Oh, this should be the one "Liaochen Uncle" who was betrayed by the little guy during the bargaining.
The little guy looked around with guilty eyes, but Emperor Mingze's gaze was too focused and fell squarely on the bald monk.
Guan Zhili:"..."
Fortunately, the little dumpling had the conscience to take advantage of that person. "Imperial Father Why are you glaring at Liaochen Uncle? Imperial Father When you were not around, it was Liaochen Uncle who was carrying Chengcheng on the way!"
Emperor Mingze calmly looked away.
"Then if you take two pills a day, I will buy you a total of 60 pills after a trip of more than 40 days."
Guan Zhili:"..."
How is it possible that the journey from here to the Great Rui capital is only more than forty days?!
The numbers in this short sentence decreased step by step. Guan Zhili felt as if he had witnessed a large-scale child deception scene.
Knowing that this is the limit of her beauty Imperial Father, Jiang Yingcheng nodded. "Okay."
Guan Zhili:"..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he thought of the new partner he was holding in his hand, and turned around and said happily, "Brother should also have Candy!"
Jiang Yanchuan turned around and glanced at Guan Zhili.
Guan Zhili said hurriedly, "I, I don't..."
"One hundred."
"Yeah!"
So the three of them walked to the Candy shop together.
Jiang Yanchuan personally went inside and took two plates with Candy, gave one to each of Jiang Yingcheng and Guan Zhili, and said, "Each person picks half."
Jiang Yingcheng grabbed Guan Zhili who still wanted to say something, and walked happily inside.
The war between the two countries has been going on for a long time. Anyone with some wealth in the city fled here in advance, and the shopkeeper of this store should be one of them.
There are many types of Candy left in this small shop, and each of them is very bright and beautiful. I started picking Jiang Yingcheng from the Candy grid at the edge, and soon a whole plate was filled.
The quantity seemed to have long exceeded the original quota of fifty.
As the defeated country Imperial Prince, Guan Zhili quickly handed over his plate. "I'll give you my share too..."
He added, "I don't like eating Candy."
Jiang Yingcheng's eyes widened.
She felt that there must be no children in the world who did not like to eat Candy. This new brother was obviously lying to her when he said this.
She tried her best to put on a straight face. "You can't lie to people!"
Guan Zhili is speechless.
This was the first time he walked out of the palace, which was very big, but he could only move around in a small courtyard. Even in this case, everything he saw in the outside world felt very novel. The air outside was fresh, and the Candy outside was sweet.
He never thought that he could survive. He had already lived through such a difficult life for ten years. He could die or live.
With this faint sense of death, he almost reached out his hand to the Candy that he had long been optimistic about in a desperate manner. "Then, then I want this one..."
A big smile suddenly appeared on the little guy's face.
"Chengcheng I just saw a better one over there!"
She grabbed her new friend's hand and walked to the next corner.
Jiang Yingcheng's plate was already full, so she smiled at her new friend ingratiatingly, then tentatively picked up one and put it on his plate.
Guan Zhili also let her go.
With the first one, there will be countless others.
Guan Zhili's plate was filled with Candy that the little guy liked. When Emperor Mingze came to count the pieces in person, he wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground.
There were sixty-three candies on the little guy's plate, just stuck in a safe range that exceeded the prescribed number but would not be ordered to put them back.
But on the plate of Guan Zhili...
There were a total of seventy-nine pieces piled up, and there were only two of them, which he had picked out himself.
He liked the shiny appearance of the candy very much, and he didn't forget to put one on the little guy next to him.
Guan Zhili:"..."
Jiang Yanchuan:"..."
Jiang Yanchuan:"Jiang Yingcheng."
"This is what brother Zhili likes!" The little guy said plausibly, "Brother Zhili just left home and it was a time when he was sad. He should have seventy-nine Candy!"
After that, as if she was afraid that her Imperial Father would go back on her word, she took out a Gold Beans from her Purse and tiptoed it into the money box behind the counter.
Guan Zhili was stunned.
