Chapter 162: It can be regarded as rain and dew
There have been a lot of things going on recently, and she only has no more than 200 million yuan left.
The money was too little, she had to keep it so that she could use it effectively if something happened.
When Qi Ji heard her say that she had no money, he took the initiative to suggest:
"My dad is going to hold an auction soon. Why don't you bring in some antiques?"
He was a little hesitant about saying this, as he knew that no matter whose antiques they were, they couldn't be sold continuously.
But he had a hunch that Shi Xi must have a lot of antiques in his hands!
"That's fine, but I don't think I have anything valuable."
Since Qi Ji has invited her sincerely, Shi Xi can't just refuse him this honor.
Sister Meng, the Ye family, and the Qi family all sold a batch of antiques, so Shi Xi benefited from them all.
"Okay, I'll come find you at your house when you return to Xinghai."
"None of us have even been to your newly bought house!"
Qi Ji posted a naughty dog emoticon.
Shi Xi in front of the screen couldn't help but chuckle. Qi Ji has been in good shape recently.
Qi Ji has also been adjusting himself.
Ever since he found out that Shi Xi had a boyfriend, the handsome man in ancient costume that he saw at the market entrance that day, he was indeed depressed for a while.
At one point, I even didn't want to be friends with Shi Xi anymore.
But unexpectedly, Shi Xi always regarded him as a friend and came to him for help whenever she had any difficulties.
He also figured it out. Since he couldn't even decide who to date, he should stop disturbing Shi Xi's life.
She is a dazzling princess, and I just need to be her knight and escort her under her skirt.
The two chatted for a while, said good night to each other and went to rest.
That night, Shi Xi still vaguely smelled the scent of medicinal herbs, but the smell of blood was gone.
Half asleep and half awake, she felt as if someone was playing with her hair.

Xiao family military camp.
After daybreak, a young military doctor came to change the dressing on Xiao Jingyan's wound, but no one answered him no matter how much he knocked on the prince's door.
There is no other way but to open it privately.
Seeing that the room was empty, the young military doctor realized that the prince had gone to the fairy world again.
He's running around with the injury, isn't he afraid that the wound will split again?
What a troublesome little prince!
After the sun rose, Xiao Jingyan was afraid that Shi Xi would discover him, so he hurried back to the Xiao family military camp.
This time, the soldier who helped him wash and dress easily knocked on the door.
Seeing that he looked very healthy and had recovered well, the soldier couldn't help but admire him:
"The fairy's medicine is truly miraculous. It allowed the prince to recover so quickly. It's like the medicine completely cured the disease!"
Hearing them praising Shi Xi, Xiao Jingyan also felt inexplicably happy.
She saved her life again!
Now, I owe her more and more!
I'm afraid it will take several lifetimes to pay it back.
"How's Qian Shuo doing?"
"Have Zhimo and Liu Deyou returned? Have the remains of our fallen soldiers been recovered?"
As soon as Xiao Jingyan felt better, he was busy worrying about military affairs.
"Your Highness, don't overwork yourself. They haven't returned yet. I heard that half of Guazhou City was burned down, and Prince Wanyan's camp was in an even more horrific state. I'm afraid they are still helping to put out the fire."
The soldier also told what he knew.
"Put out the fire?"
Xiao Jingyan frowned.
"Yes, I heard that the enemy attacked the night before last, shooting flaming arrows into their camp, burning countless tents and food supplies."
"Besides, it's winter now, and the wind is very strong. The fire that was just put out may have sparks flying out of the wind and landed on flammable objects, causing another fire."
When the soldier said this, his tone was full of regret.
He sighed and said whimsically:
"It would be great if fairies could come down to earth and use their magic to help us."
"If that were the case, we wouldn't have so many brothers dying on the battlefield."
The little soldier seemed to be happy and chatted with Xiao Jingyan.
"I've heard from storytellers that the gods have boundless magical powers."
"They can summon wind and rain with just a wave of their sleeves."
"If the fairy could help us bring rain or make the wind a little calmer, wouldn't it be easy to put out the fire?"
He was just talking happily and didn't notice the displeasure on Xiao Jingyan's face at all.
It was not until Xiao Jingyan slammed the teacup in his hand onto the table and his internal force passed through the teacup, cracking the table, that the little soldier reacted.
When he looked up and saw Xiao Jingyan's grim expression, he knew he was wrong and immediately knelt down to apologize.
"You have to know that even gods have no obligation to always help us."
"Also, the Fairy in the Painting is not omnipotent. She has helped us enough. We should handle the rest ourselves."
"If we keep relying on fairies, won't we all be useless trash?"
He just spoke a few words calmly, with a commanding presence without being angry.
After the young soldier realized that he had spoken without restraint, he bowed to him, apologized, and quietly retreated.
Xiao Jingyan had long told the soldiers not to always rely on gods, but he didn't expect that there were still people who had such an idea.
It seems that he really needs to educate his subordinates.
However, he was also wondering if there was anything in Shi Xi's world that could quickly put out the fire.
Thinking of this, he got out of bed and wrote a letter to Shi Xi.
When Shi Xi received the letter, it was not long after she got up and washed up.
"Something that can put out fire quickly?"
"Isn't that a fire extinguisher?"
"A fire blanket would be fine too!"
Shi Xi muttered to herself.
She sent a WeChat message to Xingyue and Yue, making sure they were awake, and asked them to go out and buy fire-fighting supplies.
"You don't need too much, just buy a trunk."
Let’s first solve the urgent problems in Qianshuo Military Camp and Guazhou City before dealing with other things.
Xingyue and the others received the purchase money from Shixi and drove away.
Shi Xi thought that since Xiao Jingyan could now actively communicate with her, he must have recovered a lot.
Shi Xi was so happy to think that he was fine.
She wrote a note back to Xiao Jingyan, telling him not to worry about putting out the fire, and chatted with him about other things.
He couldn't sit for long, so Shi Xi asked him to record a video with his mobile phone, say what he wanted to say to her in the video, and then send it to her.
Shi Xi hadn't seen Xiao Jingyan's incredibly handsome face for several days, and she missed him very much.
In the video, he was wearing an ancient white robe, his face was still pale and his lips were bloodless.
However, Shi Xi quite likes him in this look. He looks extremely broken, and now he has a unique aura instead of being handsome.
The kind of handsome that makes people feel distressed.
Like a wounded puppy, it touches people's hearts.
Shi Xi briefly asked him about the war. From what he said, Shi Xi was certain that there must be a traitor in the Qianshuo army, who told Shanmeng and Zhongjue about their and Qianshuo's troop deployment plan in advance so that they could be prepared.
She helped Xiao Jingyan analyze it.
It feels like the person who can leak secrets in the Qianshuo army must have a very high status and position, even comparable to Wanyan Longmu.
