Because Hei's injuries were healed, she was in a particularly good mood at the moment.

And Hei couldn't help but smile after hearing what Bai said.

"Yes! Mr. Bai Yuan is really an extraordinary person. This problem that all the predecessors of the Yin-Yang School have failed to solve has now been solved by him with a dish."

At this point, Hei suddenly remembered that they were still being hunted by the Yin-Yang family, and he couldn't help but fall silent.

Bai was in tune with her and immediately knew what she was thinking, so he took the initiative to hold her hand.

"Hei, don't worry so much. With someone like Mr. Bai Yuan protecting you, what can the Yin-Yang family do?"

"You! I was thinking, we have troubled them so much these days. Now that our injuries have healed, how can we continue to trouble them?"

Black patted White's hand, shook his head and sighed.

They have already received great favors from Bai Yuan, and it would be inappropriate to cause him more trouble.

But when Bai heard this, he smiled and comforted Hei.

"You're just thinking too much. Maybe what we think is trouble is nothing to him, otherwise he wouldn't have taken action in the first place."

"But......"

"Don't say but, I don't believe you really want to leave!"

Bai interrupted Hei directly, and her words left her speechless.

How could Hei be willing to leave?

She believed that anyone would be reluctant to leave after spending some time with Bai Yuan.

He is free and easy, friendly, skilled in martial arts and often brings unexpected surprises to people. Being with such a person, every day will be full of anticipation, which is much better than the precarious life of fleeing.

Besides, there is probably only one such extraordinary man in the world.

Seeing that Hei was silent, Bai showed an expression that said, "I see through you."

"Hehe, you are speechless now, right? Anyway, whether you want to leave or not, I am not going to leave. After eating the food cooked by Mr. Bai Yuan, I can't leave him now. Otherwise, I will starve to death!"

Bai stuck out her tongue and expressed her attitude very directly. She would never leave even if it was for the food Bai Yuan cooked!

But these words sounded a little different to Hei's ears, and she couldn't help but stare at Bai with wide eyes.

"Bai, are you serious about this?"

Now Bai Ye realized that what she had just said seemed a little bold, and her face suddenly turned a little red, but then she nodded firmly.

"This period of time should be the happiest time for us. I don't want to live in fear anymore."

Bai knew very well that they had followed Bai Yuan for such a long time. Logically, if the Yin-Yang family wanted to cause trouble for them, they would have come to them long ago.

But now there is no sign of any action from the Yin-Yang family. Obviously, all this is because of Bai Yuan.

Whether it was for his face, or because he was afraid of his strength, it all showed that Bai Yuan had the ability to protect them well.

Hei sighed when he heard what Bai said.

Bai didn't want to live in fear anymore, and neither did she.

She laughed helplessly.

"Then let's stay together!"

When Bai heard this, he immediately smiled brightly and went forward to hug Hei.

Hei also reached out to protect Bai, and the two sisters hugged each other.

After taking a shower and going downstairs, Bai Yuan and the other two had been waiting outside the inn for a long time.

They were just wondering why it took Hei Bai so long to take a bath, when they saw them putting on their clothes and coming down.

As soon as they came down, they bowed deeply to Bai Yuan.

"What are you doing?"

Bai Yuan stepped forward and was about to help the two men up, but they insisted on completing the ceremony.

"Mr. Bai Yuan, although it may be just a casual thing for you, it is a great favor to us. This is what we should do."

"You don't have to be so polite, get up!"

Although he said so, the black and white duo didn't get up, but hesitated for a moment, and said in unison: "We sisters have one more request, and I hope you will agree to it!"

"What request?"

Bai Yuan couldn't help but feel a little strange when he heard this.

"Now that our injuries have healed, we are thinking about whether we can continue to stay with the master. If the master gives us any instructions, we two sisters will do everything we can to repay the master's kindness!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Yuan immediately understood what they meant and shook his head with a smile.

"Alright! Get up! I don't mean to chase you away."

He knew very well that the two girls must be worried that they would not be able to continue following him after their injuries healed, and would then be hunted down by the Yin-Yang Family again.

Since he had chosen to rescue them from the beginning, he would naturally save them to the end.

Besides, he was happy to have two more beauties around him.

Ningyan and Jimo Huaxue on the side also smiled. They didn't expect that Hei Bai and the other man would still be so polite to them after having been with them for such a long time.

Ningyan even took the initiative to step forward and help the two of them up.

"You don't have to do this. I think this guy is hoping you'll stay!"

As she said this, she even glared at Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan coughed twice and turned his head away without looking at them.

He was muttering in his heart, how come Ningyan knew his thoughts so clearly?

But he didn't know that Ning Yan had already seen through his true nature.

From the very beginning, she knew that Bai Yuan was a complete face-obsessed guy.

But this guy's luck with women is so good that it makes people jealous. He is often surrounded by all kinds of beauties. She and Jimo Huaxue have long experienced this.

So she had already let it go a long time ago and didn't intend to interfere in such matters. She just let things take their course.

Besides, even with the addition of Hei Bai, Bai Yuan's love for her and Jimo Hua Xue didn't diminish in the slightest.

After hearing Ning Yan's words, Hei Bai and the other man both blushed slightly and did not dare to look at her.

Ningyan patted their hands gently and then whispered a few words in their ears.

I don't know what she said, but it made both of them open their eyes wide and their ears turned red with embarrassment.

Chapter 169 Entering Handan and Knowing Its Prosperity

After getting on the carriage, Bai Yuan and others continued their journey.

It took them more than half a month to reach Handan, the capital of Zhao State, from the Qin-Zhao border.

After a simple inspection, they entered the city under the strange looks of the Handan soldiers.

After all, this was the first time these soldiers had seen an unmanned carriage.

All the way from the Qin-Zhao border, Bai Yuan and the others saw some small towns. It was not until they entered the city of Handan that they witnessed the prosperity of the State of Zhao.

Among the seven states, Zhao was originally an inconspicuous country. However, since King Wuling of Zhao promoted the Hu clothing and horse riding, Zhao has gradually risen and is now the most powerful among the Three Jins.

Seeing the prosperous appearance of Zhao's capital, Bai Yuan couldn't help but sigh at the differences between Zhao and Qin.

Since Shang Yang's reforms, the Qin State has implemented a policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, while the Zhao State has vigorously promoted a policy of giving equal importance to agriculture, industry and commerce, allowing the development of private industry and commerce and the opening of market trade.

The reason for this is also related to the geographical location of Zhao State.

When the three families were originally divided into the Jin Dynasty, the Zhao Kingdom was divided into some mountains, hills, or bitter cold places.

Because of this, Zhao State did not have much land available for farming, and even less fertile land. Therefore, Zhao State abandoned the agriculture-based economy and chose an ecological economy that combined industry and commerce. Instead, it embarked on a path that was based on commerce and gave equal importance to agriculture, industry and commerce.

Under such circumstances, Handan became a metropolis with prosperous agriculture, industry and commerce.

There is a record in "Spring and Autumn Annals·Guliang Zhuan": He fled to Jin, weaved silk in Handan, and never mentioned Wei in his life.

The two words "zhi yi" (weaving silk) show that Handan's textile industry has even developed professional divisions, which also indirectly reflects the level of development of Handan's handicraft industry.

In addition, Handan was one of the three major iron smelting centers during the Warring States Period. It produced a large number of agricultural tools, hand tools and weapons every year and supplied them to countries all over the world.

Its iron smelting technology is considered to be top-notch in the world, and many businessmen have become rich by smelting iron.

Therefore, the high quality of Zhao's ironware was sought after by people all over the world, and almost all countries would import some iron equipment from Zhao.

The "Guoyu Jinyu" also recorded: The warehouses in Handan are full.

This shows that Handan’s agricultural level is not weak.

When Su Qin was persuading Marquis Wen of Yan, Zhao's grain reserves had reached "enough to support ten years of grain."

The current Prime Minister of Qin State, Lu Buwei, started his career in Handan in his early years. It was here that he saw the strange man and exclaimed, "This is a rare treasure that should be kept."

There was a constant stream of merchants coming and going in Handan.

Looking at the bustling scene on the street and the vendors hawking their wares on the roadside, Bai Yuan couldn't help but feel very curious.

"It's such a bustling metropolis. I've never seen such a scene even in Jimo City."

Jimo Huaxue sighed and looked outside through the car window like a curious baby.

"Yes! After staying in Taiyi Mountain for so many years, this is my first time to come to Handan. I have to say, this prosperous scene is worthy of being the capital of Zhao State!"

Although Qin is the most powerful among the seven countries and the other six are slightly weaker, Bai Yuan had to admit that he had underestimated Zhao before, or rather, underestimated all the countries.

He had some bad stereotypes about the six kingdoms in Shandong because he was well aware of the struggle among the seven kingdoms and that the world eventually belonged to Qin. After the fall of Qin II, the world belonged to Han.

But when he saw the prosperous scene of Handan, he realized that he was too shallow.

After all, Zhao was one of the seven major powers in the Warring States Period, and it was also a relatively powerful country among them. It had the ability to compete with Qin. How could it be so bad?

Even though he is well-versed in history, since he traveled through time, it is no longer the history he is familiar with. If he still uses it as the basis for his judgment, he will suffer a great loss sooner or later.

Bai Yuan also quickly figured this out.

Just as Bai Yuan and others were admiring the prosperity of Handan and looking for a place to stay, there was a commotion suddenly heard in front of them.

"Get out! Get out of here! Anyone who stops me will die!"

A ferocious-looking man riding a fast horse, holding a sharp sword in his hand, was rushing recklessly on the street. People who stood in front of him saw this scene and avoided him for fear of being hurt by him.

Behind him, a young man dressed in tight clothes and dressed like a ranger was chasing him closely using his light skills.

"You little thief! How dare you rob others of their money in broad daylight? Stop right there!"

"Damn it! This nosy guy..."

The big man looked back, feeling very annoyed. He looked ahead again and found that there was a carriage in front of him with no intention of giving way, and he became furious.

"Get out of the way, the carriage in front is not blocking the road!"

Bai Yuan and others in the carriage frowned slightly, and their good mood disappeared instantly.

"Xue'er, stop him."

Bai Yuan patted Xueer's little butt, indicating that it was time for it to take action.

Seeing that Bai Yuan sent her out again, Xue'er meowed to express her dissatisfaction, but still obeyed the order and jumped out.

It was very fast and it jumped onto the roof of the carriage in an instant. Then it acted like a tiger pouncing on its prey. An invisible aura emanated from its body and its hair moved without wind. It looked very majestic.

During this period, Bai Yuan made [First-class Steamed Mandarin Fish] several times, and Xueer also ate a lot, and her soul was greatly improved.

The improvement in her soul also significantly increased Xueer's strength.

Originally, some golden aura would only appear on its body after it transformed, and it was unable to control that power very well. However, with the increase of soul power, its perception of the surroundings and control over its body have been greatly enhanced.

Therefore, after deliberately trying it, it actually mastered the basic usage of Qi.

This surprised Bai Yuan and others.

Xue'er, who has mastered the Qi, is like a human who has mastered inner strength, and she instantly gains an all-round boost.

Xue'er did not launch an attack directly, but instead growled at the horse under the big man's crotch.

Although to humans it is just an ordinary cat's meow, to other animals it is like hearing the king's order.

Both the two horses pulling the carriage and the horse the big man was riding stopped immediately.
