Chu Qingzhi opened the boxes one by one. From today onwards, she could be considered a rich woman. She was very happy. “Jinghong, where should we hide this gold?”
Tang Jinghong said gently, “Hide it wherever you want.”
Chu Qingzhi turned around and sat on a box. She touched her chin and pondered. Was there a place nearby where she could hide it?
After a while…
“I got it.” Chu Qingzhi looked up at Tang Jinghong. “I know a cave. It’s very hidden. Let’s hide the gold there.”
Tang Jinghong frowned slightly. “A cave is indeed very hidden, but no one can guarantee that someone won’t accidentally find it.”
Chu Qingzhi walked over and sat beside Tang Jinghong. “I can make all these boxes sink into the ground. This way, even if someone enters the cave, they won’t find anything.”
Tang Jinghong knew that Chu Qingzhi could do something that ordinary people could not, so he did not say anything else. “Then let’s do as you say. I’ll get someone to transport it over later.”
Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Okay.”
Tang Jinghong reached out and wrapped his arm around Chu Qingzhi’s shoulder. “Qingzhi, I’m leaving for the capital tomorrow. I don’t know when I’ll be back. I can’t bear to part with you!”
His strong emotional needs made Chu Qingzhi’s heart palpitate. She grabbed Tang Jinghong’s other hand with both hands. “Are you going to help Si Yingzong kill his former superior and find his nephew?”
Tang Jinghong nodded. “I have to do what I promised. Otherwise, he won’t be loyal to me.”
“I understand.” Chu Qingzhi was silent for a moment. “I’ll give you a month. If you don’t come back in a month, I’ll go to the capital to look for you.”
Not being able to see him for a month was her limit.
Tang Jinghong smiled. “Alright.”
Tang Jinghong pulled Chu Qingzhi up. “The secret guards are here.”
As soon as he finished speaking, ten secret guards flew in one after another. “Carry the boxes and follow me.”
The group of secret guards cupped their fists and said in unison, “Yes, Master.”
In the cave.
This cave was the one where Rong Yupeng had been locked up for three days. It was very remote and it was unlikely that anyone would come. Now, there was a ferocious tiger living in the cave. Even if someone came across this cave, they would not dare to enter.
After Chu Qingzhi arrived at the cave, she asked the tiger to go out and play. Now, there were only the two of them and some boxes in the cave. There was nothing else.
The secret guards made many trips to transport the boxes. After they were done, Tang Jinghong dismissed them.
Chu Qingzhi came to the entrance of the cave. After making sure that the secret guards were far away, she began to cast a spell. The hard ground seemed to have softened, like a swamp. Boxes began to sink…
After a while, all the boxes sank into the ground. Chu Qingzhi cast another spell to solidify the ground. Other than her, no one could dig out the boxes now.
The shining spiritual light gradually dimmed and disappeared, and everything returned to normal.
Tang Jinghong thought to himself, Even if I’ve seen what Qinzhi is capable of, I still can’t help but be amazed.
Why did Qingzhi have such an ability?
He wanted to ask Qingzhi, but this secret was obviously not small. What if his question put Qingzhi on the spot?
It was better for Qingzhi to tell him instead of him asking her.
“Qingzhi, I’ll send you home.”
Chu Qingzhi took the initiative to hold Tang Jinghong’s hand and asked with concern, “When are you leaving tomorrow?”
Tang Jinghong said, “Early in the morning.”
Chu Qingzhi calculated the time. There was still time. “I’ll send you off tomorrow.”
Tang Jinghong’s lips curled up slightly. “Okay.”
The Tang family.
When Zhang Xiuqin heard that Tang Shan had failed, she scolded angrily, “Useless thing! Tang Shan, you coward!”
Tang Shan had had enough of Zhang Xiuqin’s scolding. “If you think you are better than me, go ahead.”
Zhang Xiuqin pointed at Tang Shan. “If I could do it, why would 1 need you?”
Tang Shan slapped his thigh and said angrily, “Tang Jinghong flew away. What can I do? I can’t fly.”
Zhang Xiuqin was extremely disappointed in Tang Shan. “You’re his father. Can he leave without your permission?”
Tang Shan was angry and helpless. “He doesn’t acknowledge me as his father now.”
Zhang Xiuqin immediately had an idea. “How dare he! If he dares to do this to you, go to the village chief and complain.”
Tang Shan’s eyes lit up. “That’s an idea. He doesn’t listen to me, but he listens to the village chief and the village elder. As long as they intervene, Tang Jinghong has to agree to our request even if he doesn’t want to.”
He had been brainwashed by Zhang Xiuqin and had completely ignored Tang Jinghong’s feelings. Previously, he still felt a little guilty towards Tang Jinghong. Now, he only wanted to get as much out of Tang Jinghong as possible.
Zhang Xiuqin’s attitude towards Tang Shan improved slightly. “When are you going?”
Tang Shan slapped the table. “Early tomorrow morning.”
Tang Jinghong sent Chu Qingzhi to the door before leaving.
As soon as Chu Qingzhi returned home, she went to the kitchen. She planned to make some food for Tang Jinghong on the way to the capital.
When the family heard the commotion, they all went to the kitchen.
Li Qingyu asked with concern, “Qingzhi, what are you making?”
“Crispy pancakes, sesame pancakes, and red bean pancakes.” These were all classic pancakes. They were all sweet, fragrant, delicious, and nutritious.
Jinghong should like them, and they could last long without going bad.
Li Qingyu said in a daze, “I’ve never heard of these.”
Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Mother, you will know later.”
Li Qingyu nodded. “Let me help you.”
“I know.”
Chu Qingyue, Chu Qingning, Chu Qingshuang, and Shen Ruyue also walked over to help.
Chu Qingyue said, “Qingzhi, why did you suddenly think of making pancakes?”
Chu Qingzhi said frankly, “Jinghong is going to the capital tomorrow. I’m making these for him to eat on the way.”
“Jinghong is leaving again?” Li Qingyu’s heart immediately ached. This child had just returned from the northern border and was going to the capital again. Wouldn’t it be overtaxing on his body?
“He has to do something important.” Chu Qingzhi comforted her. “Mother, don’t worry. He’ll be fine.”
Li Qingyu sighed. “Qingzhi, make more for Jinghong.”
“I know.”
After being busy for a while, Chu Qingzhi made 20 Crispy Pancakes, 20 Sesame Pancakes, and 30 Red Bean Pancakes. Chu Qingzhi felt that the red bean ones were the best, so she made more.
The pancakes were wrapped in oil paper one by one meticulously.
In the end, she packed them together. Chu Qingzhi brushed her palm on all the pancakes and enveloped them with a layer of spiritual power. It could ensure that the taste of the pancakes would not change.
It was almost five in the morning when the rooster crowed three times.
Chu Qingzhi thought for a while and decided to go straight to the military camp. “Mother, I’m going to send these to Jinghong.”
Li Qingyu was worried. “Let your brother accompany you?”
“No need. I can do it alone.” After Chu Qingzhi said this, she already ran out.
“Fifth Sister, wait.” Chu Xuhua chased after her, but he couldn’t catch up, so he could only return.
Li Qingyu looked at his eldest son and said in surprise, “You can’t even outrun your sister.”
Chu Xuhua said helplessly, “Sister knows martial arts.”
Li Qingyu was proud. “That’s true. No one can outrun her..”
