Chapter 263 High-flying Gift, Moving Salt Lake Encounters Natural Disaster from Torrential Rain

Su Yunhai said with a smile, "In that case, we can stay in the city for a few more days to prepare supplies without worry."

Gao Fei replied, "Just tell me what you need, and I'll arrange it."

Su Yunhai still harbored some doubts about this person and was not as relaxed as he appeared on the surface.

He smiled and politely declined, saying, "Thank you for your kind offer, sir. I just went out and ordered a batch of supplies, so I don't need much. However, I am really short of salt, and I'm worried about not having any connections."

Gao Fei raised an eyebrow, tapping his fingertips on the table, and said, "This is the simplest thing. I'll have someone send you a truckload tomorrow."

"By the way, have you decided whether you plan to settle here or continue migrating?" Gao Fei turned to Xie Chengyuan and asked.

He guessed they were going to leave, but he still wanted to persuade them to stay.

This way, it would be easier for him to take care of the Xie family.

If he leaves his territory, he will be powerless to help.

"We've already set our goal: to live in exile," Xie Chengyuan explained.

The place of exile is a large, newly discovered island off the southeast coast.

Moreover, it is an uninhabited floating island.

Although everything would have to start all over again there, it would be an excellent paradise for exiled prisoners.

Xie Chengyuan knew very little about that island; it was all just empty promises from Shen Shuli.

In the original book's plot.

The Great Yong Dynasty was nearly destroyed by the Northern Barbarians, and later it was invaded by the Western Wilderness Tribes.

Only the eastern and southern borders, which are closer to the coast, are relatively safe.

The reason for the stability is not the absence of war.

It was merely internal strife.

It was not invaded by foreign enemies.

The place of exile, located at the angle between the southeastern and northern borders, is the only absolutely safe place in the book that escaped the war.

Xie Chengyuan coveted the promises Shen Shuli made and wouldn't give up easily just because someone said a few words.

"Are you really sure? You're not going to consider it anymore?" Gao Fei's disappointment was undisguised, but he still pressed on relentlessly.

Xie Chengyuan replied decisively, "Yes, Uncle Gao, we've already thought it through."

"In that case, I'll give you another big gift."

"Uncle Gao, you're too kind. You don't need to be so polite," Xie Chengyuan immediately waved his hand in refusal.

Ultimately, he didn't completely trust Gao Fei either.

But it's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy, which is why he risked bringing Gao Fei over.

Gao Fei, however, did not give him a chance to refuse.

"Hehe, you can't refuse this gift." Gao Fei clapped his hands after saying that.

Gao Fei was accompanied by more than a dozen people, all of whom stood guard outside the inn.

Only four people followed him into the inn, and now they are guarding the door.

One of them opened the door and walked in, slowly approaching Xie Chengyuan.

Xie Chengyuan and his daughter Shen Shuli looked at the masked guard with confusion.

He wondered if this Transport Commissioner was going to send secret guards to Xie Chengyuan.

While the group was lost in thought, the guard slowly removed the mask from his face.

Xie Chengyuan's somewhat bewildered expression changed drastically the moment he saw the man's face!

"You, you, you!" Xie Chengyuan was so shocked that he stood up abruptly, his body swaying uncontrollably.

Shen Shuli could only see the guard's back; she couldn't see his face.

But she could see the expression on Xie Chengyuan's face.

She was very curious about what Xie Chengyuan had seen that could frighten him so much!

"Eighth Brother, is that you?" Xie Chengyuan looked at the other person with trembling lips, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot.

Xie Chengyu, the eighth son of the Xie family, is Xie Chengyuan's twin brother.

She looks about 80% like him.

Xie Chengyuan recognized him almost immediately!

But at this moment he couldn't believe it; the myna bird, whose death had been reported long ago, was actually standing alive and well in front of him!

Xie Chengyu's eyes were also red at this moment.

He was the same age as Xie Chengyuan, and although they looked very similar, he appeared to be five or six years older than Xie Chengyuan at this moment.

But Xie Chengyuan was in disguise, and Xie Chengyu saw a completely unfamiliar face.

But he knew that this was his twin brother.

"Little Nine, it's me, Eighth Brother!" After saying that, Xie Chengyu hugged Xie Chengyuan tightly to calm his excited emotions.

Shen Shuli and Su Yunhai, who were watching from the sidelines, were stunned when they heard the news of the explosion.

Wasn't Xie Chengyuan the only male member of the Xie family left in this generation?

Why did another one suddenly appear?

These plot points are not in the book at all!

It’s so off the mark!

It's been a long time.

The two brothers then separated and sat down side by side.

Xie Chengyuan excitedly poured a cup of tea for the myna bird before finally asking a question.

"Myth brother, what's going on? How did you end up here? Is the news that you sacrificed yourself in the Eastern Territory a lie?"

Xie Chengyuan did not refuse to see the myna bird alive.

However, news of the death of the eighth brother came a year ago, and the Xie family jade pendant that he always carried was also taken back to the general's mansion.

When the Xie family learned of this devastating news, it was like a bolt from the blue!

The Xie family had nine sons, but only Xie Chengyuan, the spendthrift son, remained alive after they all died!

Xie Chengyu explained to his younger brother in a slow voice.

“When I led the team to deliver New Year’s gifts to the king of the Eastern Territory, I noticed something was wrong with the supplies on the way. I secretly opened them and took a look. They were not the items on the gift list at all; they were all broken stones.”

“I immediately realized that someone was trying to kill two birds with one stone, to frame me, and to make the Eastern Kingdom vassal king misunderstand that the Xie family had embezzled the money.”

“I couldn’t let people smear my name and implicate the Xie family, so I devised a plan to lure bandits into robbing me. I took the opportunity to take the life-saving pill, the fake death pill, given to me by my family, and that’s how I escaped the calamity.”

“They buried me on the spot in a hurry. It took me a lot of effort to crawl out of the grave, but the long-term lack of oxygen caused brain damage and resulted in memory loss.”

"After many twists and turns, I arrived in Quanzhou and met Uncle Gao. He found a famous doctor to treat me and protect my safety."

Xie Chengyuan's hatred for the emperor reached its peak at this time.

He never imagined that the emperor would be so vicious! He had caused so many deaths in the Xie family!

For generations, the Xie family has been guarding the borders of the Great Yong Dynasty. Over a hundred Xie family members have died in battle alone.

The Emperor has treated the Xie family in such a way!

Such an emperor is a beast, and the Xie family is not worth making such a sacrifice for him!

With tears welling up in his eyes, Xie Chengyuan asked, "Eighth Brother, do you want to go see Mother and Grandmother? They would be so happy to see you."

He knew that the myna bird must also want to see the other family members.

"Okay, take me there." Xie Chengyu nodded in agreement.

He was afraid to face his family alone and needed someone to be with him.

Gao Fei then spoke up, "A Yuan, I'm handing the people over to you now. You all reunite first, and I'll head back now."

Xie Chengyuan then remembered that Gao Fei was still there and had completely overlooked him.

The initial wariness towards Gao Fei was completely dispelled by the appearance of the myna bird.

His gaze towards Gao Fei became even more sincere and grateful. He said apologetically, "Uncle Gao, thank you so much for taking care of Brother Ba this past year. Cheng Yuan will remember it forever!"

Xie Chengyu patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Xiao Jiu, there's no need to be so polite with Uncle Gao. Uncle Gao has long regarded us as his juniors."

Gao Fei smiled and nodded in agreement, "Alright, I'll be leaving now. I'll come see you again tomorrow."

Several people respectfully saw off the transport commissioner as he departed.

Xie Chengyuan looked at Su Yunhai and Shen Shuli and said, "Uncle Su, Miss Shen, let's go back first."

"Okay, okay, go quickly."

Su Yunhai also wore a gentle smile, feeling happy for the Xie family.

Xie Chengyu's appearance is of great significance to the Xie family, as it can restore some of their spirits and bring them hope.

After Xie Chengyuan and his brother left.

Shen Shuli and Su Yunhai remained seated at the tea table, continuing their conversation.

"Sigh, I never expected that the Transport Commissioner would have such a reversal, making us worry for so long for nothing," Su Yunhai sighed.

With the crisis temporarily averted, Su Yunhai felt a weight lifted from his shoulders and was much more relaxed.

Faced with an extremely dangerous enemy like Gao Fei, no one knows how much pressure he was under.

Shen Shuli knew her father was under a lot of pressure, but her own pressure was no less.

Fortunately, things are moving in a positive direction.

“Father, now that the crisis has been temporarily averted, why don’t we take this opportunity to go and see the salt lake?” Shen Shuli blinked her bright eyes at Su Yunhai.

As soon as Su Yunhai heard this, he knew what his daughter was up to.

He was deeply moved.

That's an extremely scarce salt resource!

This is a rare opportunity, so we must stock up to make the most of it!

"Okay! But we don't know the location of the salt lake yet, or how far it is," Su Yunhai couldn't help but worry.

"Don't worry, I have a helicopter. We can fly up and investigate. There should be people working at the salt mine at night, so it should be easy to locate the position."

"Alright, then the two of you will go and go for something big."

"No, it's the three of them, let's bring Wanjun too." Shen Shuli smiled lewdly.

In the modern world, Mu Wanjun often collaborates with Shen Shuli on missions.

It can be said that Mu Wanjun is Shen Shuli's best partner and her best support teammate.

With her around, Shen Shuli felt more at ease doing her work.

“Okay, let’s go together, the three of us.” Su Yunhai had never participated in such an activity with his daughter before, and just thinking about it made his heart burn with excitement.

He didn't have the chance to witness his daughter's incredible feat of emptying a mine.

I can't miss this opportunity again; I must witness it for myself.

"Ah Jun, let's go, let's get things going." Shen Shuli called out to Mu Wanjun as she entered her room.

Mu Wanjun vaguely guessed what her friend was planning to do, and without hesitation, she stepped forward and took her best friend's hand to walk together.

Under the cover of night, the three of them went to a remote, deserted area within the city.

Shen Shuli launched the helicopter, which was piloted by Mu Wanjun.

Su Yunhai finally understood why his daughter had asked Mu Wanjun to come along.

So your daughter is complaining that he can't fly a plane!

Then he must learn so that he can better cooperate with and assist his daughter in the future.

"Wanjun, teach your father how to drive this thing." Su Yunhai leaned into the driver's seat to ask Mu Wanjun for help.

Mu Wanjun smiled and demonstrated how to operate it step by step.

After the helicopter quickly took off, it overlooked the entire state from high above.

The helicopter is equipped with night vision devices, which can clearly see all living things on the ground that glow blue.

It was already past midnight.

Most people are already resting.

Only the officers and soldiers on duty diligently patrolled.

There is definitely no salt lake within the city.

Mu Wanjun piloted the helicopter away from Quanzhou Prefecture.

They carefully surveyed the entire prefecture from the southeast to the west.
