Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 163 It’s Not Easy to Be a Ghost Messenger in the Underworld

On the other side, Shi Qi opened the door and was shocked to see the woman with weak breath and pale face.

Shi Qi: "Tutu, what happened? Why didn't you warn me that she was injured?"

Tu Tu was stunned for a moment, then said softly, "Host, don't worry. Meng Nianchan's death has not yet come. I will give you a reminder when it comes."

Shi Qi paused, his eyes flickering slightly: "Death? So protecting Meng Nianchan... is to let her escape death?"

Bald: "Yes, but the plot has changed now, and the exact time of Meng Nianchan's death cannot be detected yet."

Shi Qi calmed himself down, pulled the woman in front of him over, and had a calm expression.

"Qiqi, I'm fine, I just had some minor injuries." Meng Nianchan pulled her hand back and twitched the corner of her mouth slightly.

Because there was a vague force in her body protecting her, she was actually... not seriously injured.

Shi Qi frowned slightly and treated Meng Nianchan's injuries calmly with a serious expression.

Meng Nianchan saw Shi Qi's expression and her eyes flickered: "I'm sorry for making you worry."

"Qiqi, you..."

"Nianchan, you don't have to explain anything to me. I just want to make sure...that you're okay. Once this matter is resolved, I'll accompany you in whatever you want to do."

Somehow, Meng Nianchan felt her eyes getting wet.

"Okay, we still have to check the rice and grain issues tomorrow, so go to bed early." Shi Qi raised his eyes, spoke softly, and returned to his bed.

Meng Nianchan calmed down and noticed the little fire ball on the bed, and her whole body trembled.

"This guy..."

Shi Qi turned around and smiled: "This one, it sneaked over here, I wonder whose pet it is."

"...Um."

Meng Nianchan looked at Huo Huo on the bed, but didn't say anything in the end.

On the second day, Shi Qi and Meng Nianchan came to the transportation location mentioned by Chen Feng.

Sure enough, a middle-aged man came towards them. He looked quite imposing and should be the one who was handing over to Ma Lang.

"This must be Magistrate Ma, right? Please follow me." The man said and gave Shi Qi a look.

Shi Qi smiled knowingly and said to Meng Nianchan: "You can leave first."

"Yes, the slaves retire."

Shi Qi followed the man along a road, and the man was saying something intermittently.

"Magistrate Ma, the goods have already been placed there. Lord Chen has instructed us to transport them to the granary without any mistakes."

"If something unexpected happens, the consequences...are not something you can bear."

Shi Qi was slightly stunned, then laughed and said, "Haha, sir, don't worry, Ma will definitely complete the task well."

"Okay, okay, County Magistrate Ma is indeed a young talent. If this is done, there will be many opportunities." The man felt relieved and laughed.

"Your Majesty, your words are strong."

"By the way, after you send it over, don't worry about it. I have arranged someone to hand it over to you when the time comes." The man said, looking at Shi Qi slightly.

Shi Qi lowered his eyes slightly and smiled knowingly: "Of course, Ma will transport the goods."

Although I had imagined the amount of cargo, I was still a little amazed when I actually saw these more than ten carriages.

How much rice was exchanged?

They actually used more than ten horse-drawn carriages to transport goods. They said they were goods... but what was inside was just... weeds!

She guessed correctly that Chen Feng wanted to use weeds instead of rice to deal with the inspection.

"Magistrate Ma, we have people accompanying us here to protect your safety at any time. Please come in?" The man said, with a gleam of light in his eyes, which was seen clearly by Shi Qi.

Shi Qi's lips curled slightly, not caring at all, and said generously: "Okay."

Even though Chen Feng cooperated with Ma Lang, he still did not trust him completely and acted very cautiously.

On the surface, these people are protecting her, but in reality... they are monitoring her.

Shi Qi calmed himself down, said goodbye to the man, and started on his way.

If I calculated correctly, Nian Chan should have arrived at the granary.

They just need to meet up there.

......

On the other side, in the palace.

Lingyu sat at the table, rubbing his hands lightly, looking a little anxious.

If she keeps waiting like this, her chances of success will be very slim.

Mo Xuan would never love her.

This way...she will fail.

No! She must not fail!

The woman at the table suddenly raised her eyes and looked somewhere fixedly, her eyes shining and her expression determined.

After a long moment, the woman lowered her head and murmured softly, "The Book of Life and Death...it would be fine if it were changed."

"Just change it..."

"Lingyu...just go and change it."

"Change it... and you can live."

The woman's voice was low, like a spell, repeating over and over again.

......

After delivering the things, Shi Qi returned to the Ma Mansion feeling a little tired.

Possessing a person's body is a very energy-consuming thing, and her current... fighting power is not that high.

If someone wanted to kill her at this moment, she would... have almost no way to escape.

"Qiqi, you are right, they did switch the food. Now we just have to find the hidden food and expose Chen Feng." The woman's soft voice sounded from behind Shi Qi, with a hint of warmth, refreshing the heart.

Shi Qi calmed down and said calmly: "Well, I have discussed it with the officials investigating this matter. When we inspect tomorrow, no matter what happens, we will not move. The most important thing is to find the hidden rice first."

"Do you have any solution?" Meng Nianchan asked softly.

Shi Qi paused, a red figure flashed through his mind, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Maybe... yes."

"Nianchan, we don't have much time. The evil ghost is coming to find me. Four days later... we will have a decisive battle." Shi Qi turned around and said lightly.

Meng Nianchan looked at the person in front of her and was stunned for a moment.

The man was handsome, with clear and bright eyes, but his lips were slightly pale and he looked a little frail.

But she was not looking at Ma Lang, in her eyes... was Shi Qi.

That woman who is tolerant, indifferent and kind - her best friend, the Queen of the Underworld who is revered by everyone in the underworld.

"Why are you so confused? How can you believe what the evil spirit said?" Meng Nianchan calmed down and felt a little worried.

Shi Qi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with indifference and pride in his eyes: "Nianchan, as long as I don't want to die, no one can kill me."

Seeing that firm gaze, Meng Nianchan trembled all over in an instant.

Like being stuck in some kind of memory.

The woman was as calm as a lotus. Although her eyes were cold and arrogant, they were full of warmth. Her peerless beauty could make people drown at first sight.

At that time, she was going to fight for the peace of the underworld for the next few hundred years... Fight.

She said, "Why are you worried? Xiao Nianchan, as long as I don't want to die, no one can kill me."

Meng Nianchan: "Really? That's right, you are the Queen of the Underworld, the strongest. Besides, who in this world would want to kill you? I can't wait to love you."

The woman was stunned, her eyes seemed bitter: "But if he wants me to die, I... have to die."

"Qiqi, how could that be? Mingnan treats you better than he treats himself." Meng Nianchan asked puzzled.

"Really? I always feel that... he has changed a little. I hope I am overthinking it." The woman lowered her eyes, with an imperceptible loneliness deep in her eyes.

"..."

Yes, if you don't want to die, no one can kill you.

But in the end, you might have guessed it...he was the one who did it.

"Xiao Nianchan, why are you in a daze again?" Shi Qi looked at the dazed person in front of him and reminded with a smile.

Meng Nianchan calmed down, her eyes curved, "It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired. Don't worry, I'm here, and I won't allow you to lose."

"Okay." Shi Qi smiled and gently rubbed the woman's head, his eyes full of doting.

After Meng Nianchan left, Shi Qi walked to the bed and saw a small bulge under the quilt, and he wanted to laugh.

"Little guy, are you still eavesdropping?"

The little ball on the bed stiffened, and he emerged from the quilt dejectedly, revealing a pair of big round eyes.

"Huohuo...no. Ugly ghost, Huohuo...well~I'm hungry." The little guy blinked his big eyes and continued to act cute.

If it were usual, Shi Qi would have softened his heart and ordered the dishes to be served.

But now... there is something more important.

"Huo Huo, are you particularly sensitive to smells?"

In her impression, the fire fox was a spiritual creature with an incredibly sharp sense of smell.

The little guy was stunned, covering his nose with his paws, with a look of alertness: "You...you you! What do you want to do? Huo Huo's nose is not delicious~ Awooo!"

Shi Qi: “…”

As expected, his mind is full of food, just like her... ahem, different species cannot be compared.

"If you help me, I'll take you to eat something delicious, how about that?" Shi Qi seduced softly.

Sure enough, the little fireball's eyes lit up and said, "Really? What is Huo Huo going to do?"

"Little guy, wait until tomorrow...you will know." A hint of cunning flashed in Shi Qi's eyes.

"Awoo~ Okay, got it." The little guy nodded and rubbed against Shi Qi's arms with a look of enjoyment.

Inside the house, a man and a fox get along well and harmoniously.

Outside the house, a red light paused and lingered for a moment.

"The little guy seems to...always be able to find you."

Soon, the red light disappeared, and the man's figure disappeared, and the yard was peaceful and quiet.
