I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 881 - Chapter 881 Traveling Day and Night

Chapter 881: Traveling Day and Night Chapter 881: Traveling Day and Night Editor: Atlas Studios When Nanny Xia heard that Fan Zijin had gone missing in the vast sea, she couldn’t help but stagger.

If they were on land and had guards, the Duke would somehow be able to escape danger.

However, in the sea, he probably had zero chances of survival.

Not only did the Duke not know how to swim, but the guards following him weren’t very good at swimming either.

Not to mention protecting their master, they probably couldn’t even protect themselves.

No matter how much Nanny Xia had experienced, she almost fainted at this moment.

She finally understood why Prince Rong fainted from anger.

Although the Prince and the Princess Consort said they were going to save him, they were most likely going to collect the Duke’s corpse, right?

If something happened to the Duke, it was impossible for the three-year-old young Prince to helm the family.

At that time, wouldn’t Old Master Fan be able to move in with the Eldest Master of the Fan Residence?

Old Master Fan had always been biased.

If he was already like this to his biological son, the Duke, just imagine how he would treat the Little Prince, who had never been close to him.

When he moved in with Eldest Master to the Duke’s Residence, wouldn’t Little Madam Xia, a mere woman, and her two children be at his mercy?

At this moment, only the Prince and the Princess Consort could help them.

Nanny Xia’s knees went weak and she knelt down in front of Mu Yangling.

With tears in her eyes, she said, “Your Highness, I beg Your Highnesses to save the Duke.

The young Prince is only three years old!” Mu Yangling pulled her up and said, “Leave the Duke’s matter to us.

You just have to take care of things around here.” Considering the sea was vast, Mu Yangling did not dare to promise that she would definitely be able to save him.

It would be fine if he’d simply gotten lost or encountered pirates.

If it was the former, it was still possible that Fan Zijin could somehow reach the land or be found by them.

As for the latter, the pirates were only after money.

With Fan Zijin’s shrewdness, he might be able to persuade them to let him live in exchange for money.

However, if Fan Zijin had encountered big waves and strong winds, or if their hull hit a reef, he would be in great peril.

She did not know if he could hold on until they found himaEUR| At the thought of this, Mu Yangling’s expression turned abnormally ugly.

She turned around and left.

Qi Haoran had already changed his clothes.

Enduring the nausea, he stuffed a bowl of rice into his stomach.

When he saw Mu Yangling coming over in simple combat clothes, he could not help but frown.

He originally wanted to ask her to stay, but he swallowed his words when he thought of Zijin’s current situation, not knowing if he was dead or alive.

Perhaps letting Ah Ling come along was a good idea.

After all, she was highly skilled in martial arts and seemed to have studied naval battles.

With her around, he would feel more at ease.

When the two of them brought their men into the palace, Qi Xiuyuan had already ordered Fuzhou and Chaozhou’s Naval Division to search for him.

Seeing Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling enter the palace dressed neatly, he knew that his guess had come true.

On his side, he had already received the news and had sent someone to inform him to enter the palace.

However, only after two hours did Qi Haoran enter the palace.

Considering Haoran and Zijin’s relationship, he must want to personally go and save him.

Qi Xiuyuan couldn’t stop him, and he knew that he couldn’t either.

So he only said this to him, “If you want to leave, leave quickly.

The Naval Divisions in Great Qi are all there for you to command.

You must find him.” Qi Xiuyuan said with difficulty, “If he’s alive, I want to see him in person.

If he’s dead, I want to see his corpse!” With reddened eyes, Qi Haoran straightened his neck and said, “What corpse?

He’s always been very lucky.

He must be hiding somewhere waiting for us to save him.” Qi Xiuyuan nodded distractedly.

However, just like Nanny Xia, he felt that it would be fine if Fan Zijin went missing on land.

If that were the case, his guards and secret guards could protect him.

But on the seaaEUR| It wasn’t that Qi Haoran didn’t understand this logic, but he just didn’t dare to think about it, nor did he want to think about it.

Qi Xiuyuan turned to Mu Yangling and said, “It’s good that you’re tagging along.

If Haoran goes crazy, knock him out and bring him back.

I might have already lost a younger brother, so I don’t dare to lose another one.” “Big Brother!” Qi Haoran glared at him unhappily.

Qi Xiuyuan didn’t even look at him and only looked at Mu Yangling.

“The sea is vast.

Keep an eye on him!” Mu Yangling nodded.

“With me around, you don’t have to worry, Big Brother.” “You don’t have to worry about things in the capital.

With me and your sister-in-law around, you just have to focus on searching for Zijin.” Qi Xiuyuan stood up, picked up the jade seal, stamped it on a piece of plain silk, and handed it to Qi Haoran.

“Take this with you.

With this, you can do whatever you want in the entire Guangdong bureaucracy.” This was equivalent to giving Qi Haoran the right to appoint, remove, and kill without seeking Qi Xiuyuan’s approval.

Or he could even exterminate someone’s family with this.

Clearly, Qi Xiuyuan did not think that this matter was as simple as the Guangdong government office had claimed.

Testing a ship?

If it were Qi Haoran, Qi Xiuyuan would not doubt it.

But come on, this was Fan Zijin they were talking about.

Did those people think he was stupid?

If that kid could lie down, he wouldn’t want to sit.

If he could sit, he definitely wouldn’t stand.

If he knew that there was danger ahead, he would definitely hide as far away as possible unless Haoran had rushed to the front.

Would a landlubber like him personally test a ship on the treacherous seas?

Qi Xiuyuan arbitrarily felt that he had either been lured by benefits or that the people from the Guangdong government office had deceived him.

And he was more inclined to believe it was the latter, for Fan Zijn wouldn’t be easily tempted unless there were enormous benefits to be reaped.

Qi Xiuyuan did not want to hold them back any longer.

After saying a few words to them, he stood up and personally sent them out of the palace.

Little Bear had been brought out of the study early and was waiting outside in a daze.

When he saw his parents in casual clothes, his eyes lit up.

“Father, Mother, are you bringing me to ride a horse?” The corners of Qi Haoran’s mouth twitched, but he didn’t manage to force a smile.

Mu Yangling squatted down and looked at him at eye level, then stroked his head and said, “Little Bear, you’re a big brother now.

You have to take good care of your younger brothers and Little Aunt Xia, understand?” Little Bear tilted his head and looked at his mother in confusion.

“Father and Mother have something to attend to.

We might not be back for a long time.

During this period of time, you’ll be the head of the family.

You have to take good care of your younger brothers.

Can you do that?” Qi Haoran also chimed in, “Little Bear, you’re a big child now.” Little Bear puffed out his chest and said, “As the older brother, I’ll take good care of my younger brothers.” Mu Yangling stroked his head and carried him to the palace gate, then handed him to Qi Xiuyuan.

Fei Bai was already waiting at the palace gate with his men.

When he saw the Emperor send the Prince and the Princess Consort out, he hurriedly knelt down to welcome them.

Qi Xiuyuan waved for everyone to get up before bidding farewell to the two of them.

Then,Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling got on their horses and nodded at him before leaving.

Fei Bai hurriedly got on his horse and chased after them with the guards.

The duo didn’t bring along many men, only eight.

The horses they rode were all fine steeds with sufficient endurance.

After traveling day and night and changing horses at every relay station, they arrived at Guangzhou City in just four days.

Not to mention Mu Yangling, even Qi Haoran looked much more haggard.

They only slept for four hours a day on the road and spent the rest of the time on horseback.

Qi Haoran was fine, for he had experienced more difficult times than this as a general.

Also, he basically rode a horse everyday.

On the other hand, by the time they reached, Mu Yangling couldn’t stand steadily since she hadn’t ridden a horse for too long.

Indeed, life had been too comfortable in recent years.

Although her riding skills hadn’t turned rusty, her skin had become much tender, causing her inner thighs to burn.

Qi Haoran helped her up.

Mu Yangling patted his hand before looking towards the assistant commander and officials of the government office.
