Chapter 1847: Is That a Kunlun Slave?

Within the borders of Liangshan.

"Aiya, hurry up, we're almost there!"

A young girl dressed in apricot-yellow clothes ran through the mountains like a sprite.

"Young Miss, wait for me, wait for me..."

A book boy responsible for carrying the luggage followed behind, panting heavily.

"Hmph! Useless!"

The young woman turned her head back, saw the book boy's exhausted state, and said impatiently: "Fine, fine, let's rest for a while. You wait for me here, I'm going to go play for a bit!"

"Aiya Young Miss, you don't know how to swim, don't run around!"

The book boy looked miserable.

But that young woman had already vanished in a flash. Ahead was a small stream, and at the end of the stream was actually a small waterfall in the mountains. She stepped carefully, one step at a time, onto the stone at the deepest point, squatted down, cupped a handful of clear spring water in her hands, and splashed it onto her face.

"Refreshing!"

This young woman was naturally Hu Xi'er from Liangzhou.

Before she left, Qingyang Shuo had given her endless instructions, terrified that something might happen on the road. But Hu Xi'er insisted on coming alone, under the fine-sounding excuse that she wanted to gain experience!

In reality...

Hu Xi'er had her own little schemes.

She was no longer the little child she once was... She felt that staying by Qingyang Shuo's side and staying in Yintan City left her with absolutely no sense of presence. Yes, in Yintan City, she was practically a Princess. Whenever she wanted to do some work, those workers wouldn't let her.

Qingyang Shuo was in charge of the entire Yintan City.

Zheng Yueru was the Chief Manager, in charge of the accounts. Liu Zheng was out rushing about every day. Jiang Xuan and Qin Zhangfeng were training troops every day, busy with military affairs.

Looking around.

She was the only one left idle every day...

The group's pet.

She was the genuine, authentic group pet of Liangzhou today.

But what about her? She didn't want to be a group pet who just lay flat!

She was a person of talent!

And besides...

Whenever she thought of her old man always wanting to marry her off to the Liangzhou Governor, she got a headache.

That old man who only knew how to fight for dominance over the world, who was young but had a depth of cunning that made one's hair stand on end!

Who would like that?

Therefore, no matter what Qingyang Shuo said, she was determined to make this trip to the Wangbei Academy in Liangshan.

After much persuasion, Qingyang Shuo finally assigned her a book boy, thinking to himself that a little Princess couldn't possibly carry her own luggage and valuables, and so she agreed.

"Young Miss, Young Miss, come back quickly, come back quickly, it's dangerous over there!"

It was just that.

If this book boy weren't so naggy, it would be even better.

Hu Xi'er huffed: "You are not allowed to release the carrier pigeon!"

Only after saying this did she walk back. The book boy gave a sheepish grin and tucked the carrier pigeon he had just been about to release back into the birdcage on his back. This was his tool for keeping Qingyang Shuo informed; if Hu Xi'er made any major mistake on this journey, the moment this pigeon returned to Liangzhou, Qingyang Shuo would definitely send people to "capture" her.

"We're almost there, we're almost there!"

Hu Xi'er had already caught sight of Gemushen Mountain and couldn't help but jump for joy.

The book boy also gave a sheepish grin and tightened the straps on the luggage and valuables on his back.

Sure enough.

Qin Zhangfeng and Pei Yanran, having received the news long ago, were already waiting for them at the mountain gate.

"Qin Dage!"

Hu Xi'er flew over like a butterfly, her face full of joy.

A full month's journey!

She finally saw a familiar face!

Qin Zhangfeng chuckled: "Miss Hu has grown taller."

Hu Xi'er pouted coquettishly: "Not at all..." Only then did she look at Pei Yanran, let out an 'aiya', ran over, affectionately took Pei Yanran's arm, and smiled sweetly: "This must be Qin Dage's wife, right?"

Pei Yanran also burst into a giggle.

This young girl was quirky and truly likable, so she chuckled: "It's good that you've arrived. Come up with us and get some good rest."

On the way.

Qin Zhangfeng asked about the situation in Liangzhou.

Hearing that Liu Zheng had returned and proceeded to slaughter his way through, Qin Zhangfeng smiled brighter than the sun.

But hearing that he was about to face Xie Ling's insane retaliation, he became worried again, hating that he was not in Liangzhou.

"I don't know if that guy Jiang Xuan can protect the Young Master."

He sighed.

Pei Yanran smiled: "Isn't Qian Yun still there?"

Matters at the Academy were not yet stable. Rhodes had arrived, but after all, he was a Westerner and could not yet gain the approval of the people at the Academy. Moreover, news from the Western Regions stated that Mire had already gathered one hundred thousand slaves from the Western Ocean and was in the process of transporting them.

These past few days, Wangbei Academy had been screening talent, intending to send them to Liangzhou to provide a reserve of teaching staff for the Liangzhou Academy.

Thinking about it, there were affairs everywhere, and Qin Zhangfeng had to stay here to preside over the big picture.

"Wow! It's so beautiful here!"

"Ha, this side is not bad either!"

"Little Huang, Little Huang, come quickly! Come and look!"

Along the way, there was constant chirping and chattering.

The laughter of Hu Xi'er was like bells, making everyone who heard it feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.

Qin Zhangfeng reminded her, "Xi'er, be careful. This Wangbei Academy is full of mechanisms everywhere, don't mess around!"

"Really? There are mechanisms?"

Hu Xi'er stuck out her tongue, and just as she was about to touch a nearby pillar, she was so scared that she pulled her hand back.

But this still could not hide the look of curiosity on her face.

At this moment.

In a closed-off high building, a man dressed in green was busy with his head lowered.

His brows were tightly locked, and his hair was disheveled.

This was none other than Mo Chen.

"How can I detonate it safely? The master mentioned, a fuse?"

"And how does one ignite a fuse?"

He was lowering his head, researching it.

A fuse!

Detonation!

This subject was the most fundamental difference between ancient explosives and modern gunpowder!

It was also the biggest task Liu Zheng had left for Mo Chen.

"Look quickly, a fairy has arrived!"

"A fairy has come to the Academy!"

"What fairy?"

"Really, a real fairy! She is so beautiful!"

Suddenly, excited voices rang out from outside the window. Mo Chen heard them, shook his head slightly, and cursed them for being boring.

"Wow! She really is a fairy!"

"So cute!"

"Is she really that pretty?"

"Ahhhhh!"

The noisy sounds rang out once again.

Mo Chen was getting angry.

He was doing research!

What were these people doing?

He felt a bit stifled and intended to open the window to get some air.

Who would have known.

Just this one moment.

His eyes could no longer look away.

Where did that apricot-yellow-clad woman, surrounded by people like stars around the moon, come from?

Huh?

She...

How could she be that cute?

Her laughter was like a clear spring.

A fairy?

Whose fairy was she?

He did not notice that, in his momentary distraction, he accidentally triggered the fuse beside him.

"Boom!"

"Boom—rumble!"

"Bang!"

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The sound of a sudden explosion.

Hu Xi'er, who had just felt that the people in this Academy were incredibly hospitable and was in a pleasant mood.

Was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Everyone else covered their faces, as if they were used to this kind of thing.

Hu Xi'er was not used to it!

She looked up, dumbfounded, watching that high building shatter in response to the sound.

And then.

Something that looked like a person rushed toward her.

Bang!

He landed on the ground.

Then...

He stood up, already turned into a black man.

Hair disheveled, body pitch black.

Two pairs of eyes.

You look at me.

I look at you.

Mo Chen felt a wave of tension and had just cupped his hands in salute.

Hu Xi'er suddenly jumped up and cried out joyfully, "Don't speak, don't speak, I know, you are that Kunlun Slave!"
