After retrieving the gifts, Chu Qing and Ye Chenxi finally felt relieved. They rearranged the escort team five and then sat down to rest.
After the rain stopped completely, Chu Qing and Ye Chenxi discussed it and decided not to delay and hurry up as soon as possible.
Chu Qing clasped his hands in his fists and said to the villagers: "Thank you for taking me in. We are going to continue going down."
The village name shook his head and said: "What are you talking about, sir? If it weren't for you, I don't know how long it would have taken for our injustice to reach His Majesty's ears."
Chu Qing sighed and said: "I am very sad that something like this happened. Please rest assured that when I see your majesty, I will definitely ask your majesty to send a good official down to improve your lives."
"Thank you, sir."
Chu Qing waved his hand and said: "If such injustice happens again in the future, you can come to the city to find me, and I will definitely uphold justice for you."
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir." The villagers thanked him repeatedly.
"Sir, the team is ready and ready to go."
Chu Qing nodded and asked: "Has the gift been inspected? Is there anything wrong with it?"
"It's being checked. There must be no problem."
Chu Qing frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "It's better to wait until the investigation is clear before setting off."
"Yes, sir."
Chu Qing and Ye Chenxi were chatting with the villagers while waiting for the test results. As a result, something happened.
After hearing what the escort said, Chu Qing's face suddenly darkened. Ye Chenxi, who was next to him, saw something wrong with his face and guessed something had happened.
"We will leave first. We will report your matter to Your Majesty."
"Thank you, sir."
Chu Qing and Ye Chenxi left the village. After walking for a while, Chu Qing asked the escort team to stop.
"What happened?"
Chu Qing signaled to the person next to him, and the person immediately understood what Chu Qing meant, turned around and took the box containing the gift.
Chu Qing opened the box, and Ye Chenxi stepped forward to take a look. There was a night pearl in the box, but it was broken.
"What should I do?" Ye Chenxi frowned.
Chu Qing was silent. The current situation was beyond his expectation. Other things were fine, but things like the Luminous Pearl were rare in the world. What could he find to replace it
replace
Chu Qing suddenly seemed to think of something. He glanced around and said to Ye Chenxi, "I have a solution."
Ye Chenxi's eyebrows twitched, and he asked doubtfully: "What can I do? Can we repair it?"
Chu Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "You can fix it and I'll take a look." There was a bit of joking in his words.
Ye Chenxi glared at him angrily and said angrily: "Stop making trouble, hurry up and tell me if there is any way to remedy this."
Chu Qing raised his eyes and looked around, and whispered to Ye Chenxi: "You are just a fish."
Ye Chenxi was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "You mean to replace it with something similar?"
Chu Qing nodded and said: "Let's find a replacement with something that has the same appearance and cannot be seen at a glance."
Ye Chenxi was so angry that he punched Chu Qing's arm and said, "What are you thinking? If this is discovered, it will be a death penalty."
"We just need to be careful." Chu Qing said with a frown.
"No!" Ye Chenxi shook her head resolutely. She looked at Chu Qing and said, "If someone discovers this, it will be a death penalty. Not only the two of us, but no one from the escort team can escape."
Chu Qing sighed helplessly, spread his hands and said, "Then I have no choice. You can't let me find a real night pearl."
Ye Chenxi couldn't think of a way to do it, so the two of them lowered their heads in silence and set out on the road. Even if the night pearl was broken, they still had to go to see the emperor of the neighboring country.
This time, it seems that he really failed.
