Chapter 168 Taking advantage of the situation (1)
"Teahouse?" Fang Chen didn't understand. Why should we open a teahouse? We can do anything in it.
"I'm just giving an example. Similar restaurants, or my pastry shop, are all fine. They are all places that are short of people." Ji Xiaomu said. She hasn't thought about it yet. It's just a preliminary idea. She will think about it in detail when she goes back.
"I understand." Fang Chen nodded and looked at Ji Xiaomu with shining eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ji Xiaomu's face turned a little red when she was looked at. This gaze seemed to carry a lot.
"Nothing." Fang Chen smiled, carrying Ji Xiaomu to another room, and holding her tightly in his arms, "I want to hide you and don't want you to see the filth of this world."
"The world is not just black and white. Only by removing these filth can you see the colorful world beneath the black and white. That's why you need to overcome all the difficulties," Ji Xiaowu kissed Fang Chen and said, "I know you are hurt by the emperor's suspicion and you are a little tired of the world. You want a stable life, and so do I."
"We can hide for a lifetime and live a carefree life. However, this chaotic world is like purgatory, how can we stay out of it? We are already here. Since we can't change the world, we can create a paradise with our own efforts. We don't fight, we just want to protect ourselves." Mother Ji looked at Fang Chen.
Fang Chen seemed to see through Ji Xiaowu's eyes the prosperous paradise she had imagined, a world without war and a peaceful and prosperous era.
His ambition was not so big as to have a huge empire. Like her, he just wanted to have a piece of his own world in this chaotic world. Since his small family was also a piece of his world, why not expand the scope.
"Okay." Fang Chen kissed Ji Xiaowu's lips, "Let's carve out our own world in this chaotic world."
"This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is our ideal base." Fang Chen said with a smile and explained to Ji Xiaomu that they were now in the innermost town, but the city was located in the mountains which had a geographical advantage.
"Want to convince the city lord? Not likely, right?" Ji Xiaomu raised her eyebrows. The war hasn't broken out yet and everything is still so peaceful. How can she convince the city lord?
Tell them that a war is about to break out and that they should hand over their position as city lord if they don’t want to die?
"Everything depends on human effort. I will take him down." Fang Chen said with a smile, "For you and for our home, I will protect this place."
"I believe you can do it." Ji Xiaowu nodded, her eyes full of trust.
That night, the villa was silent. A carriage slowly drove into the villa. A man in a black robe got off the carriage. Seeing the quiet villa, he frowned and asked, "Where are the people?"
"Master, please come in." Yang Hua disguised himself as the previous leader and led the person into the house.
Lin Feng and the others pretended to be subordinates, and immediately greeted respectfully when they saw someone. "Master."
"You guys go down!" The man in black robe didn't seem to care. After driving Lin Feng and others away, he walked to the main seat and sat down.
"How is she?" the black-robed man suddenly asked, and Yang Hua bowed and answered. "Does the master want to see her?"
"Have someone wash her and send her to my bed." The man in black robe smiled. After waiting for so long, he could finally get her.
"Yes." Yang Hua stepped out, and the man in black robe untied his black robe. He looked at the tea in his hand and raised the corner of his mouth with great joy.
