Lin Zhitong, who had always been clever and sensible, suddenly lost her composure when she looked up at Yan Shouyi's wise eyes.
In fact, this medicinal cuisine was indeed no ordinary medicinal cuisine.
It was medicinal cuisine for stabilizing pregnancy.
Ever since Lin Zhitong returned from Penglai, the little Yan Shouyi in her womb had stopped growing. Lin Zhitong often had to eat some medicinal cuisine to stabilize her pregnancy to ensure the health of herself and the child.
This matter could not be hidden, especially from Lin Ruofu.
The last time Lin Zhitong went to Longhu Mountain, Lu Jing was watching. This time, when she suddenly departed for Chang'an, Lin Ruofu dispatched Ye Chengfu and two assistants, Lin Yu and Lin Yin.
This was also why Lin Zhitong accepted the presence of Lin Yu and Lin Yin.
If she were alone, she would naturally be strong, but for the sake of the child in her womb, Lin Zhitong could only accept the care of Lin Yu and Lin Yin.
Old Jin's words just now had frightened Lin Zhitong so much that her heart almost leaped out of her throat. She had forgotten that Old Jin was a descendant of ancient medicine and could tell at a glance that this medicinal cuisine was for stabilizing pregnancy.
Fortunately, Old Jin did not expose it directly but hinted at it intentionally or unintentionally.
As a result, Yan Shouyi also sensed it. Lin Zhitong was extremely nervous.
"You... you don't talk nonsense, what's wrong with this soup? What's wrong with Old Jin?"
Lin Zhitong was extremely nervous, her face blushing to the roots of her ears.
"This soup..." Yan Shouyi lowered his voice and said sternly, "Is it for strengthening yang?"
"Pfft!"
Lin Zhitong choked, almost spitting on Yan Shouyi without any regard for her image. Fortunately, she quickly covered her mouth with a tissue.
"Miss, are you alright!" Lin Yu and Lin Yin quickly stepped forward to comfort her.
Lin Zhitong shook her head, but she was relieved in her heart.
"So close... almost discovered by that big idiot!" Lin Zhitong thought.
Yan Shouyi helped Lin Zhitong catch her breath and said, "Old Jin is old, of course, this kind of soup is not suitable for him. I saw his lewd look just now, and I knew what he meant. How about it, am I smart?"
"You are truly a great genius!" Lin Zhitong gave Yan Shouyi a thumbs up.
Yan Shouyi grinned foolishly.
Although Yan Shouyi's dullness made Lin Zhitong a little angry, it was better to keep the matter of the child a secret from him for now.
Lin Zhitong changed the subject and asked:
"Do you have any plans when we get to Chang'an later?"
Yan Shouyi heard this, put down his bowl, and said with a frown, "This trip to Chang'an is full of many things and difficulties."
"That's why we should make a plan," Lin Zhitong was more rational than ordinary girls.
Yan Shouyi thought for a moment. Regarding Yu Jinhong and the eleven ghost kings of Chang'an, he felt they could be put aside for later. The most important thing now was to find Ma Xingping from the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.
Moreover, there might be clues to the souls of the National Teacher and Princess Yushu in the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.
In this way, the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor became even more important.
He called Ma Jinxuan and asked, "We're going straight to the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor after we get off the plane. Do you have a way to take us back into the mausoleum?"
Ma Jinxuan shook her head: "No, the entrance at that time was already blown up, which also alerted many people. The entrance is probably heavily guarded now."
Upon hearing this, Yan Shouyi and Lin Zhitong exchanged glances, both looking a bit troubled.
If this matter alerted the authorities, it would definitely be troublesome. As Ma Jinxuan said, the entrance would surely be heavily guarded, and there might even be police searching for the whereabouts of the Ma siblings.
Ma Jinxuan continued: "When we get to Chang'an, I'll take you somewhere."
"Where?"
"An antique street. My brother and I agreed that if one of us encountered an accident in the mausoleum, the other would escape without hesitation and wait for the other at the agreed-upon place," Ma Jinxuan said. "If my brother has already escaped, he will definitely be waiting for me there."
The identity of a Mojin School Lieutenant was too sensitive, and even phone communication was not safe, so the two adopted this ancient method.
Since Ma Jinxuan already had a plan, Yan Shouyi didn't need to think too much.
He would wait for the plane to land and then follow Ma Jinxuan to that antique street to check the situation.
If they could meet Ma Xingping, it would naturally be a happy occasion.
But if they couldn't...
Yan Shouyi also had a backup plan.
He would have to go to the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor sooner or later. If the previous entrance was sealed, he would have to find the tomb keeper, Li Genmiao's biological father, Li Zhongxi.
...
Before long, the plane landed smoothly.
Yan Shouyi and his group finally reached the end of their journey after leaving Longhu Mountain – Chang'an!
Chang'an is located in the central part of the Guanzhong Plain, bordering the Wei River to the north and backed by the Qinling Mountains to the south.
It is the starting point of the Silk Road, and more than ten dynasties have established their capitals here in history.
Feng Hao capital, Qin Epang Palace, Terracotta Army, Han Weiyang Palace, Changle Palace, Sui Daxing City, Tang Daming Palace, Xingqing Palace...
In short, it is a famous historical city with brilliant culture!
Everyone was ready to experience the cultural charm of this historical city.
However, the weather did not cooperate. As soon as they got out of the airport, it started to rain heavily outside.
Long Feicheng looked back and couldn't help but say, "Are we missing someone?"
Yan Shouyi counted the number of people and found that one person was indeed missing. This person was none other than "Shadow" Xue Kai.
Xue Kai, as a shadow, was truly qualified. Sometimes Yan Shouyi would even forget his existence.
However, Xue Kai's existence was very necessary. There were too many things that Yan Shouyi could not do personally, and he could entrust them to him.
In this regard, Wei Changqing's attitude was also supportive.
Ye Chengfu had already arranged the pick-up car and the hotel for the night, but Yan Shouyi and his group did not go directly to the hotel. Instead, they asked Lin Yu and Lin Yin to take the luggage to settle in, and the others followed Ma Jinxuan directly to the antique street.
Even though it was pouring rain, no one complained. Everything was focused on Ma Xingping.
Everyone's reaction truly touched Ma Jinxuan.
When they were in the car, Ma Jinxuan rarely mentioned some of her past with Ma Xingping.
They were siblings. Ma Xingping was three years older than Ma Jinxuan. The year Ma Jinxuan was born, their hometown suffered a famine. Their parents originally planned to sell Ma Jinxuan for a few bags of grain, but Ma Xingping, who was already somewhat sensible, refused.
He absolutely refused to sell his sister.
But his parents insisted, and Ma Xingping could do nothing. So, the night before his sister was to be sent away, Ma Xingping quietly took Ma Jinxuan and ran away from home, escaping from their biological parents.
Who would have thought that this departure would last for more than ten years.
The two were adopted by their current master and learned to be Mojin School Lieutenants. After they grew up, they returned to their hometown but never saw their biological parents again.
It was said that after the siblings left, their biological parents were found to have starved to death at home within a few days.
