Chapter 208: Gu Yanjiu’s Choice

After a long silence, Gu Yanjiu asked, "What if I can help Eldest Young Master Xiao realize your dream? Are you willing to help me kill Qi Liju?"

Xiao Shao raised his eyes, looked at Gu Yanjiu, smiled slightly, and said, "If County Princess Cang Le can really help me realize that impossible dream, then I will kill Qi Liju for you. It’s just... I’m not the kind of person who can easily trust others based solely on their words. Before we talk about anything else, shouldn’t County Princess Chang Le give me something to show your sincerity?"

Gu Yanjiu tightly held the treasure map in her hand. She is considering whether to give Xiao Shao the map or not. If she gave him the map and he backed out, then she really had nothing left that could be used to avenge her parents. But if she doesn’t give the map to Xiao Shao, then her vengeance will be over before it begins.

Looking at her expression, Xiao Shao didn’t say anything, but turned to look at Xu Xiang. Unlike his indifference towards Gu Yanjiu, when he looked at Xu Xiang, his expressions became gentler.

Seeing her frowning, he asked, "Miss Xu, is there something that is troubling you?"

Xu Xiang came back to her senses and looked at him. Because of their height difference, she needs to look up when speaking with Xiao Shao. Seeing the sun shine from his back, she suddenly remembered the scene of the northern frontier soldiers of Shang Empire seeing him off.

At that time, she felt that he had the aura of a monarch. But at this moment, after listening to the conversation between him and Gu Yanjiu, the fleeting feeling in the past became even stronger.

’Maybe... He can help me save this world. If I make him the only ruler, can he change the destiny of this world?’

Seeing her staring at him in a daze, Xiao Shao touched his face, smiled at her and asked, "Is there something on my face?"

Hearing his question, Xu Xiang came out from her contemplation, blinked and then looked away. "There is nothing on your face."

Seeing her avoiding his eyes, Xiao Shao’s smile slowly disappeared. He then stared at her in silence. Before he could ask her why she didn’t want to look at him, Gu Yanjiu’s voice came.

She stretched out her hand holding the map, and said, "Eldest Young Master Xiao, take this map. I will bear all the responsibility for the demise of the Bei Wei Empire. But I want Qi Liju to pay for all his crimes with his own life."

Xiao Shao looked at her determined eyes, then looked at the map in her hand, and said, "All right. I will kill Qi Liju for you. As for whether County Princess Chang Le can help me realize my dream or not, let’s wait until you have enough strength to help me before talking about that."

After speaking, he took the map from her hand. Gu Yanjiu saw that there was nothing to talk about between them anymore, so she smiled politely at him and said, "Then I will wait here for the news of Qi Liju’s death. Please don’t let me down, Eldest Young Master Xiao."

She then looked at Xu Xiang and said, "In the past few days, Nuan Nuan always says that she wants to see her elder sister. My husband would also like to thank you for taking care of us. If Miss Xu is free, the door of our house will always be open to welcome you."

Xu Xiang nodded at her and said, "Yes. I will go and see Nuan Nuan when I’m free."

After she finished speaking, Gu Yanjiu paid courtesy towards Xiao Shao and left. Seeing her leave, Xu Xiang looked at the map in Xiao Shao’s hand and asked, "Young Master Xiao is going to hunt for the treasure?"

Hearing her question, Xiao Shao turned to look at her and asked with a half-smile. "Does Miss Xu want me to leave this village that badly?"

Xu Xiang felt that there was something wrong with his expression, but she couldn’t tell where the problem was.

She looked at him confusedly, and said, "If Young Master Xiao wants to stay here, of course we welcome you. But... Didn’t you just promise Gu Yanjiu to help her?"

He chuckled and said, "Yes. I indeed promised her that I would kill Qi Liju for her. But to kill an emperor, I need to prepare a lot of things and it couldn’t be done in a short time. I can stay here for a while."

After finishing speaking, he looked at her and softly said, "That is... if Miss Xu wants me to stay."

Xu Xiang looked at him and thought: ’Why does he look at me like an abandoned wife? Did I accidentally do something to him?’

Unable to find an answer, she tossed those messy thoughts to the back of her mind. She smiled at him and said, "You are always welcome here, Young Master Xiao."

Hearing what she said, Xiao Shao stopped pretending to be pitiful and smiled at her. A few seconds later, he said, "Miss Xu, can you show me the farmlands? I’m curious about how you grow crops and medicinal herbs."

She nodded to him and said, "Of course. Let me show you the staple food farm first."

With that said, Xu Xiang brought Xiao Shao to the first farmland and began to share farming knowledge and seeds cultivation methods with him.

Meanwhile, in the far western desert, a feast is taking place. Sitting on the main seat was a man in his forties with a braided beard and bald head, enjoying the service of two beauties. Fumbling with one hand on the woman’s body sitting on his left, he picked up a cup of cheap wine and drank it down.

Thud!

Putting the wine cup heavily on the low table, he laughed happily and said, "Good
