Chapter 181 Need to cooperate with Prince Jing
Song Yao pursed her lips and smiled, "I just went out to relax or something."
"Now that the weather is getting colder, we need to prepare some medicine for colds and coughs, as well as oil and salt," Song Zizhou said. "Oh, and we need to buy three carriages and a few thick quilts."
In short, winter is coming, so you must buy the right warm things, otherwise, it’s easy to get into trouble.
Song Yao said, "Let's buy it tomorrow. It's too late today."
She bought so many things by herself. After asking Song He to close the door, she opened the space and took out two hundred taels of silver to give to Song Zizhou.
"Brother, tomorrow Mr. Chen and I will go buy the herbs, and you can go with them to buy the rest." Song Yao definitely couldn't do it alone, because there were too many things, so it would be better for the men to go buy them.
"So much silver?" Song Zizhou was a little surprised, because Song Yao had never given him so much silver when asked him to buy things before.
He was really flattered.
"Didn't you buy enough before? We have to buy a carriage, bedding, and some other things tomorrow. In order to prevent it from being insufficient, it is always better to give more." Song Yao smiled, her almond eyes were as beautiful as stars.
"I thought so." Song Zizhou said, "Then I'll go back to the house first."
Song Zizhou found a cloth bag, put the silver into the bag and carried it away.
……
The next day, Song Yao found Old Man Xu and told him that the weather was cold now and they needed to prepare more medicines for colds and coughs.
Old Man Xu is the doctor in their team, so it would definitely be safe to ask him to go along.
Old man Xu agreed without even thinking about it.
Then, the two of them left the inn together to buy medicinal herbs.
They arrived at the market and found a pharmacy. Old Man Xu specifically asked for fifteen kinds of medicinal herbs, but they only had thirteen. There was nothing they could do but buy some first and go to other pharmacies to buy the rest.
After paying the silver, Song Yao and Old Man Xu left with several large bags of medicinal herbs.
I went to another pharmacy, bought some herbs I needed, and then left.
Arriving at the market outside, Song Yao asked, "Old man, are these herbs enough? If not, let's go buy some more."
Old Man Xu smiled kindly, "Don't buy too much. It's cold now, and the herbs are easily damp. It's better to buy less. If the situation gets worse later, you can buy more."
"Okay then." Song Yao nodded.
They walked towards an inn.
But after walking for a while, Song Yao saw Xiao Chi and Xie Cheng walking towards her.
In the past, Song Yao would definitely stay away from him when she saw him, but she didn't do that today.
She walked straight ahead.
When she arrived in front of Xiao Chi, Song Yao stopped, but there was no extra expression on her face, even her eyes were so cold.
Xie Cheng quickly spoke, "Miss Song, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to see you here again. What did you buy?"
Song Yao said calmly, "I bought some medicinal herbs."
"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Xiao Chi stared at Song Yao with his deep black eyes. He was very happy because Song Yao did not avoid him this time.
All the frustration accumulated during this period disappeared at this moment.
Song Yao said, "There are too many people here. It's not very convenient. Why don't we go somewhere else?"
Xiao Chiyin suppressed the excitement in his heart, glanced at the teahouse next to him, and then looked at Song Yao with obvious tenderness and affection in his eyes.
He opened his thin lips slightly, his voice low and pleasant, "There's a teahouse next door, why don't we go there and talk?"
"Okay." Song Yao didn't waste time on him and went straight into the teahouse next door.
After asking for a private room and ordering a pot of tea and some melon seeds and peanuts, the waiter left.
Xiao Chi sat opposite Song Yao, and Xie Cheng stood next to Xiao Chi.
Because Song Yao didn't say anything, and coupled with what had happened between the original owner and Xiao Chi before, the atmosphere in the private room became very stiff and cold.
"Prince Heng." Song Yao broke the cold atmosphere and looked straight at him with her almond-shaped eyes. There was no fear or dread on her face.
She continued, "Chen Taishi and the Blood Mist Cult are in cahoots. They've captured many young girls here, including my sister. Fortunately, Prince Jing and I rescued her in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous! I assume you don't know about Chen Taishi and the Blood Mist Cult yet, right?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chi frowned, his facial features were distinct and sharp.
"When did this happen?" He pursed his thin lips, his expression cold and indifferent.
Song Yao said calmly, "I don't know how long it's been going on, but they're rampant now. If you don't do anything, more girls will die at the hands of the Blood Mist Cult."
Arresting people on the streets, isn’t this outrageous enough?
After all, Chen Zongping thought that the capital was too far away from here, so he did whatever he wanted here.
But he miscalculated, Xiao Yan and Xiao Chi both came.
If the two of them didn't come, of course Chen Zongping would have the final say here, but now that they are here, Chen Zongping can no longer have the final say here!
Xiao Chi was about to speak when Song Yao suddenly said, "We also encountered a girl being captured on the way here. It's been several months since the first time. In short, there is a high probability that members of the Blood Mist Cult will appear in major cities. If we do nothing about this, more girls will definitely be harmed."
Song Yao originally didn't want to get involved in this matter because she didn't want to come to Xiao Chi.
However, the people from the Blood Mist Cult actually dared to capture Song He, which was simply too much. So this time, she couldn't just sit back and watch. She wanted to make those people pay the price!
Xiao Chi's face was gloomy and terrifying, and his black eyes, as deep as an ancient well, were covered with a layer of frost. It was obvious that he was angry now.
Seeing Xiao Chi's expression, Song Yao's tense heart relaxed, because she knew that as long as he showed any expression, he would take care of the matter.
She continued, "There are undoubtedly many Blood Mist Cult members in Chang'an City. Furthermore, Grand Historian Chen also has numerous officers and soldiers under his command. You and Guard Xie alone have little chance of victory. Therefore, we must cooperate with Prince Jing. However, I'm asking for your help, not because I want to forgive you. I hope you understand."
He wanted her to forgive him just because of this?
How can this be?
"Are you done?" When Xiao Chi faced Song Yao, his expression was not as terrifying anymore. It was much more relaxed, and even his voice was not as sharp.
Song Yao nodded, "Yeah."
Xiao Chi's eyes turned cold. "I know Chen Zongping. I've met him several times. He was so timid in front of the emperor, saying he would swear allegiance to him until death. I never thought he would actually be colluding with the Blood Mist Cult in the distant city of Chang'an! Now that I know about this, I will not let him go. By the way, I will also help your sister get revenge."
Song Yao was stunned for a moment, then she narrowed her eyes and said, "So you're willing to join forces with Prince Jing to deal with Chen Taishi?"
