“This token is real,” the man said.

The official quickly corrected himself. ‘Yes, I was blind. Since Second Young

Master said it’s true, it can’t be wrong.”

The man didn’t even look at him. He only looked at Song Jingchen and asked,

“Where did you get this token?”

Song Jingchen glanced at the man’s sleeve and said indifferently, “Coincidentally, I helped Lord Jing’an. When he found out that we were coming to the Xuanyuan Kingdom, he gave me the token as a thank you gift.”

The man asked again, “Are you from Great Xia?”

Everyone in the Xuanyuan Kingdom knew about Xuanyuan Ce’s diplomatic mission to Great Xia. It was no wonder that he had such a guess.

Song Jingchen said, “That’s right.’

The man nodded and looked at the official. The latter immediately understood and summoned someone to settle the procedures for Shen Yijia and the others. He also personally handed the pass through the Xuanyuan Kingdom to South Wind.

“Thank you.” Song Jingchen cupped his hands and thanked the man on the horse.

After taking back their tokens, the group got back into the carriage.

Looking at the nerson who left without looking back. the servant beside the man said, “Second Master, that token..

There was a single word engraved on the back of the token. Seeing the token was like seeing a person.

To put it bluntly, with that token, someone could even mobilize any faction under Lord Jing’an.

What kind of help was it to make His Highness give away such a precious thing?

The man raised his hand to stop him from continuing and said indifferently, “Let’s go.”

After Second Master left with his men, the leader heaved a sigh of relief.

Someone leaned over and whispered, “Boss, what should we do now? It’s hard to explain to the Yu family.”

The leader kicked him angrily. “Second Young Master has already spoken. What can I do?”

He thought for a moment and said with a pained expression, “Send the things from the Yu family back to them.”

As the two of them spoke, a gust of wind blew past them.

The leader of the officers tucked his hands into his sleeves and spat. “What kind of weather is this? It’s already February, but it’s still so cold. How f*cking unlucky.”

After passing the checkpoint, they finally stepped into the territory of the Xuanyuan Kingdom. When Shen Yijia and the others arrived at Phoenix Town, it was already dusk.

The carriage stopped in front of an inn. Thirty Thousand found a waiter and handed the horses to them to feed. He also went to the hall to ask for three guest rooms.

After traveling for two months, everyone was exhausted except for Shen Yijia, who was energetic as soon as she got off the carriage.

They returned to their rooms to wash up and change into clean clothes before gathering in Song Jingchen’s room for dinner.

The dishes of the Xuanyuan Kingdom were different from those of Great Xia. Perhaps because of the coastal area, most of the dishes were light and slightly salty.

To Shen Yijia, who liked sweet things, they weren’t suitable for her taste.

After dinner, they returned to their rooms.

The night was dark. You Yi, who had been invisible the entire way, suddenly appeared with a box in his arms.

“What is this?” Song Jingchen asked.

You Yi repeated the conversation between the two officials.

Shen Yijia ran over and opened the box on the table. She was almost blinded by the things inside.

There were two fist-sized night pearls inside. Under the night pearls was a stack of banknotes. After a rough count, there were more than ten thousand taels.

There were no transnational banks in the three countries, but gold, silver, and other currencies were common. Moreover, the prices of goods in the Xuanyuan Kingdom were higher than in Great Xia.

An inn like the one they were staying in today would not cost more than several coins a night in Great Xia, but here, the three rooms cost them two taels of silver.

Fortunately, Shen Yijia had the foresight to bring along her own small treasury. Otherwise, they might have sent South Wind and Thirty Thousand out to work and earn money.

Now, there was another unexpected windfall.

No, this was the money that others used to buy her and her beautiful husband’s lives. Since their lives were theirs, this money naturally belonged to them.

Shen Yijia touched the night pearls and the banknotes. She smiled so widely that her eyes couldn’t be seen.

Song Jingchen held his forehead. This girl was probably the only one who could be so happy while knowing that someone wanted to harm her.

Of course, Shen Yijia did not forget what she wanted to do. She closed the box and hid it under the bed. She asked with a straight face, “Who’s this Yu guy? This is the first time you’ve come to the Xuanyuan Kingdom. You don’t have any grudges against them, right?”

In Shen Yijia’s opinion, be it the original host or her, it was impossible for her to have any other enemies in this world other than the Shen family, so the Yu family must be here for Song Jingchen.

Song Jingchen frowned and said, “If I remember correctly, Princess Jing’an’s surname is Yu.”

You Yi nodded. “When the late emperor was in power, he placed great importance on aristocratic families. Among them, there were six family clans. The Yu family was ranked fifth among the six families at that time..”
