Chapter 28: A Sly Old Fox

Staring at Yang Lihuo’s calm face, Cao Qinbo slightly curved his lips, and said, "The crux of the problem lies in the emptiness of the treasury. So the fastest way to solve the problem of Left Prime Minister Yang is to replenish the treasury. In addition, Left Prime Minister Yang’s replenishment of the national treasury can also be counted as making great contributions to our Shang Empire. This minister believed that the Emperor would be delighted."

Yang Lihuo didn’t say anything after hearing what he said, so Cao Qinbo spoke again.

"As we all know, the foundation of a country lies in the people." His voice was calm, but there was a trace of cruelty in his tone.

Yang Lihuo’s eyes flickered when he heard this. He lowered his voice and said, "Right Prime Minister Cao’s meaning is..."

Cao Qinbo stopped and turned to look at Yang Lihuo. Seeing that he understood what he meant, Cao Qinbo put his hands in front of him and saluted Yang Lihuo.

"Since I have said what I need to say, I will leave the rest to Left Prime Minister Yang." He spoke in a very polite tone, but there was a flash of cruelty in his eyes.

Yang Lihuo returned the salute, and said calmly: "Thank you, Right Prime Minister Cao for your guidance. This minister will see if it’s plausible to be implemented."

Cao Qinbo looked at him and smiled politely. "We are all ministers who work under the Emperor. There’s no need to be so polite. In the future, I still have to rely on the support of Left Prime Minister Yang."

Yang Lihuo froze after hearing his words, but he quickly returned to normal in a split second. He lowered his eyes and hid his thoughts from Cao Qinbo’s keen eyes.

’Calling him a sly old fox suits him well. It’s really not easy to deal with him.’

While Yang Lihuo was still thinking, Cao Qinbo looked up at the bright sky and said, "Since it’s not early anymore, this minister will take my leave first."

Yang Lihuo raised his eyes, smiled politely and said, "Right Prime Minister Cao, please go slowly."

Nodding to Yang Lihuo, Cao Qinbo walked towards the gate of the royal palace, and then got into the horse carriage. Yang Lihuo was still standing there, watching the horse carriage go away. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment. Looking at the bright sky, he also got into his horse carriage.

At the same time, Xu Xiang wakes up after a good night’s sleep. After stretching and yawning a few times, she entered her space and took a quick shower. Today is her fifth day in this world, and she can’t stand the itch anymore.

After taking a quick shower, she wears the clothes she bought from Bei Qiang City. The quality was still poor, but it was better than the clothes Wen Wan lent her. She washed the dirty clothes and hung them by the lake to dry.

There is no sun and moon in her space, but there is sunshine and moonlight. It’s really weird and can’t be explained with logic. After drying the wet clothes, she took two more sets of women’s clothes and three sets of men’s clothes. She also took a pack of Xiao Shao’s medicine. With clothes and medicine in her hand, she came out of the space.

Coming out of the mule cart, she saw that everyone was awake. Seeing her coming, Xiao Jing smiled at her and said, "Miss Xu, good morning. Please join us for breakfast."

Xu Xiang smiled at her and said, "Good morning."

Sitting beside Xiao Jing, she handed her the clothes and said, "This is the clothes I bought in Bei Qiang City. Because of everything that happened, I didn’t have the chance to give it to everyone before."

When Xiao Jing saw the clothes, she was surprised. She is the only young lady of the prime minister’s mansion, and the supreme general’s younger sister. The things she used and the food she ate were the best since she was born.

After being exiled, she wore the worst coarse clothing made from tree bark, and ate almost everything, including grass roots. Although she never said anything, her fair and smooth skin was covered with blisters and scars because of the coarse clothes she wore. She also had a stomach ache every day because of the food she ate before meeting Xu Xiang.

Although this is just a trivial matter for Xu Xiang, for her, this is something she really needed. Xu Xiang’s small act of kindness really warms her heart.

With a grateful smile on Xiao Jing’s face, she took the clothes Xu Xiang handed over, and spoke in a slightly choked voice.

"Thank you very much, Miss Xu."

Xu Xiang nodded at her and said, "You are welcome."

After delivering the clothes, she turned to look at Xiao Han. She handed over the medicine to him and said, "Er Lang, this is your elder brother’s medicine. He still needs to drink the medicine for three more days. You go and prepare the medicine for him."

"Mhm. Thank you, Elder Sister Xu." Xiao Han took the medicine and quickly prepared it for his elder brother.

While she was watching Xiao Han boil the medicine with a small fire, there was a bowl full of grilled meat put beside her. She looked at the bowl filled with grilled meat, and then lifted up her eyes to look at Xiao Shao who still grilled the meat.

Xiao Shao noticed her gaze and said, "It’s wolf meat."

Picking up the bowl, Xu Xiang started to eat without saying anything. The meat is quite chewy, but has a special taste. There is not much fat on the meat, and it has a slight bloody smell. Without any seasoning, all she could taste and smell was the faint smell of smoke and blood.

Xiao Shao glanced at her when she ate the grilled wolf meat. Seeing her eating the meat calmly without even a frown, he continued to roast the rest of the wolf meat. When she finished her meat, he added more to her bowl.

They chatted and ate for a while. After Xiao Shao finished roasting all the wolf meat, Xiao Han handed him a bowl of medicine. Looking at the black liquid in the bowl, he frowned, but he held his breath and drank it immediately. Just as he put down the bowl, the bitter taste made him cough.

"Cough, cough!"
