Chapter 80

"What will happen to them after they are taken to the police station? School starts in two days, will it affect their schooling?" Yang Yiyi couldn't help but ask after coming out.

"It won't. They can come out after signing a confidentiality agreement. They won't even stay for a day," Su Yi said casually:

"I think you should be more concerned about what we are going to do this afternoon."

Originally, after dinner, this group of people had other activities planned.

Since Su Yi had come, he naturally wanted to accompany Yang Yiyi to have fun.

Now that her classmates have been arrested, there's no point in going to the fair.

"How about going to see a movie?" Yang Yiyi suggested, but as soon as she said it, she shook her head:

"No, no, there are no good movies recently. Going there would be a waste of time."

After thinking it over, she couldn't think of anything fun to do.

After all, it's so hot, outdoor activities are basically out of the question.

There really aren't many indoor activities to do either.

In the end, the two of them didn't deliberately go to do anything fun, they just sat by the river and enjoyed the breeze for an afternoon.

Watching the boats coming and going on the river and chatting with the little beauty, Su Yi felt it was quite interesting.

Today was the day he had previously agreed to trade with Weiwei and Bai Lu, but that was a matter for the evening, so there was no rush now.

The company's affairs were managed by Tian Shu, so he, the big boss, didn't have to worry about it at all.

There was nothing he could do at home either.

Chatting with Yang Yiyi by the river gave him a vague feeling of tranquility and beauty, like a first love.

Putting aside everything else, Yang Yiyi's temperament and appearance fit the definition of "first love" for most people.

She was the pure, white moonlight type.

However, when a single man and a single woman chat, they naturally become more and more ambiguous.

"It's a bit hot here, why don't we find a cool place to rest for a while?"

Hearing Yang Yiyi's flushed-faced request, Su Yi tentatively asked:

"Go to a hotel?"

"... Okay."

Naturally and smoothly, everything fell into place.

In short, on this peaceful afternoon, the last layer of window paper was easily broken through.

Yang Yiyi, who was new to such matters, was not pretentious. After drinking a few mouthfuls of the water of life, she was fully revived.

Then, full of energy, she dragged Su Yi to go shopping and eat late-night snacks.

By the time they returned home, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

Yue Ling was quietly reading a book at home. When she saw the two of them return, she glanced at Yang Yiyi and raised her eyebrows slightly, but she wasn't surprised.

This was originally the result of her fueling the flames.

"You guys chat, I have something to deal with, I'll come down later," Su Yi said as he went upstairs.

It was time to take care of today's agreed transaction.

As for the problem of the relationship between Yue Ling and Yang Yiyi, he shouldn't have to worry about it. Yue Ling would handle it well.

...

"Why are you so late this time?" Weiwei complained slightly as soon as she appeared in the trading space, and then gave Su Yi the things she had prepared.

Most of them were magical plants and magical beast flesh, as well as some magical plant seeds, and some magical tools that Su Yi had requested.

Five longbows engraved with magic arrays, with amazing power.

A magic cloak with full defense, and even ordinary people can achieve short-term flight by wearing this item.

There were also some knives and swords.

The magic cloak was requested by Yue Ling, mainly for Su Yi to defend himself.

The magic weapons were requested by Chen Ye after trading with Bai Lu from another world.

Bai Lu should be more interested in this kind of thing.

To purchase these items, Su Yi only needed to pay the 20,000 tons of grain left over from the last transaction.

"It would be best if you could prepare the high-powered weapons that your world's mortals can also use as soon as possible. Our Mengchuan City is probably going to have a big battle soon," Weiwei said with a solemn expression after the transaction was completed.

With Su Yi's recent large-scale grain support, Weiwei's side no longer needed so much grain in the short term.

The people who had been surrounding Mengchuan City had been besieging it without attacking, waiting for the city to run out of food.

Now, they discovered that not only had the city not run out of food, but there was more and more. Now, even the ordinary people in Mengchuan City can eat two full meals a day.

This made the allied forces besieging the city a little restless.

She received reliable news that the allied forces were probably planning a large-scale attack on Mengchuan City in the near future.

If they couldn't stop it, the city would fall in the next few days.

If they could stop it, things would probably be quiet for a while.

"I'm a little curious, didn't you say that you are a princess of the Chiyang Empire? People have been attacking your territory for several years, doesn't your empire give you any support?"

"Don't count on it," Weiwei waved her hand:

"Mengchuan City is located on the border and has been abandoned by the empire's central government, but this is my territory, and I don't want to give up, so I have been holding on until now."

"Garrisoning Mengchuan City is my personal behavior, so the empire will naturally not send reinforcements."

"A place abandoned by the empire?" Su Yi was a little puzzled:

"According to what you said before, Mengchuan City is a border town that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people and has strong defenses, right? They don't want this kind of place? Could it be that your empire has recently suffered defeats in other places, or has its internal affairs completely deteriorated, and there are no usable troops at all?"

"Of course not," Weiwei casually found a place to sit down and poured a cup of the water of life for herself and Su Yi:

"The situation is more complicated. To give you a brief overview, my father is old and muddle-headed and cannot handle state affairs at all. Now, the power of the central government is in the hands of my several brothers. According to news from the imperial capital, their struggle for the throne has reached a fever pitch."

"The entire empire is vaguely filled with the smoke of civil war, but the scale of the war is still within a controllable range and has not completely spread."

"At least a million troops have gathered around the imperial capital, all of whom are the most elite troops of our Chiyang Empire, and they are under the command of four princes respectively. It is foreseeable that once my father dies, an uncontrollable civil war will break out."

"Under such circumstances, who would send troops to save a small border town? To them, it's just territory. The Chiyang Empire is so big, losing a little is nothing, but if they lose the throne, they will lose everything."

"Not to mention that I am also one of the heirs to the throne and have the qualifications to participate in the snatching. They can't wait for me to die in Mengchuan City, how could they support me."

Good heavens, the emperor hasn't died yet and the civil war is about to break out.

This is even more exaggerated than corpses not being cared for while armored soldiers attack each other.

The corners of Su Yi's mouth twitched, not quite understanding what these people in another world were thinking.

But looking at Weiwei's expressionless face, he felt that this woman was probably not simple either. Defending Mengchuan City was probably not just to defend her territory.

When the civil war in the Chiyang Empire really breaks out, it's really uncertain who will have the last laugh.
