Chapter 226 Do I look like your lover?
The next morning, the sun was shining.
As soon as Kim Hyo-joo woke up, the female crew member brought her breakfast.
This breakfast once again refreshed Kim Hyo-joo's cognition.
Milk, fried dough sticks, and toast.
Where are these things in this world?
How did she know him?
"Mmm, it's delicious."
Kim Hyo-joo tried to taste it and immediately narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.
It was unlike anything she had ever tasted.
"As long as Her Royal Highness likes it."
"His Highness specially ordered the kitchen to make this for you."
"His Highness also said that after dinner, the princess should come to the cab for a chat."
"Well, I get it."
Kim Hyo-joo nodded, quickly finished her breakfast, and followed the female crew member to the cockpit.
After entering the cabin, I saw Ning Quan already waiting there.
"Your Highness, are you looking for me?"
Kim Hyo-joo bowed slightly.
"Yes."
"This is the grain purchase contract. Take a look at it and sign it if you think it's okay."
Ning Quan motioned her to sit down, then took out a contract and placed it in front of Kim Hyo Joo.
"Oh well."
Kim Hyo-joo took the contract, read it carefully, confirmed that there were no problems, and signed the contract.
"Shall I pay you the money now?"
After signing, Kim Hyo-joo looked up and asked.
"Can."
Ning Quan smiled and nodded.
"Oh well."
"This is three million taels in total. Count it."
Kim Hyo-joo took out a stack of banknotes from her pocket and handed it to Ning Quan.
"Yes, it is indeed three million taels, that's right."
Ning Quan took the banknote, counted it, and said with satisfaction.
"Your Highness, you can't lie to me and take the money without giving me food, okay?"
Kim Hyo Joo suddenly said nervously.
“Haha, how could that be?”
"If I did something unkind to you, would I need to go through so much trouble? You're on my ship now."
Ning Quan smiled.
"I am not worried, after all, there is so much money
Upon hearing this, Kim Hyo-joo's pretty face turned slightly red and she couldn't help but pout.
"Haha, don't worry, I'm not that kind of person."
"Okay, now that we've finished our official business, it's time to talk about personal matters."
"Do you want to know why I want to help you?"
Looking at Kim Hyo Joo's shy expression, Ning Quan laughed.
"Do you want to?"
Kim Hyo-joo immediately became interested.
"Okay, then I'll tell you, because you look a lot like my previous lover."
"Your lover?"
"You mean, I look a lot like your previous lover?"
Hearing Ning Quan's words, Jin Xiaozhu was immediately surprised.
"Not really similar, but they look exactly the same."
“Exactly the same?”
"Are you telling the truth?"
Kim Hyo Joo asked in disbelief.
How is it possible for there to be two identical people in this world, unless they are twins?
"of course it's true."
“You’re just the same.”
"What's her name? Where is she now?"
Kim Hyo Joo asked again hurriedly.
"Her name was Jiang Ni, and she is no longer alive."
"Ah? Not anymore?"
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought up your sad story."
Kim Hyo-joo exclaimed, then apologized.
"It's okay, it's all in the past.
Ning Quan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
His girlfriend Jiang Ni was indeed dead. She died of illness the year before he traveled through time.
"Is that why you're willing to help me?"
"Yes."
"So when you told me before that you had something to discuss with you, was that also the same thing?"
"Well, there was something else originally, but now I have changed my mind, so it's better not to talk about it."
Ning Quan shrugged and smiled.
“Change your mind? What’s that?”
Kim Hyo Joo asked curiously.
"You want to know?"
“Yeah, I do!”
Kim Hyo-joo nodded without hesitation.
"Okay, then I will tell you."
"But I've told you in advance that you can't get angry."
"Go ahead, I'm not angry."
Kim Hyo-joo nodded quickly.
"Well, I'll tell you the truth."
"I actually have feelings for you. I originally wanted to marry you. You should know the reason."
"But I have changed my mind now."
"Even though you look alike and have similar personalities, you are not her after all."
Ning Quan said with a gloomy expression
"What, you want to marry me?"
Kim Hyo-joo was stunned.
He actually wants to marry me, this is crazy!
But then, Kim Hyo-joo suddenly felt a sense of loss.
"Yes, but as I just said, I have changed my mind."
"Don't worry about the food. I promise I will help you with it."
Ning Quan nodded.
“Well, thank you.”
Kim Hyo-joo looked at Ning Quan with gratitude.
"You're welcome. Just consider it as fate." Ning Quan said with a smile.
"Well, I understand, but I still want to thank you, Your Highness."
"Your Highness, if everything is alright, I'd like to go back and rest for a while."
Kim Hyo-joo stood up and saluted him.
She is feeling a little confused now and needs to calm down.
"Okay, then you can go back and rest. If you need anything, just send someone to call me."
Ning Quan nodded and waved his hand.
"Well, I'm leaving."
Kim Hyo-joo nodded, turned and left the cab.
After returning to her cabin and closing the door, Kim Hyo-joo leaned on the edge of the bed, but Ning Quan's words kept echoing in her mind.
"No wonder you're willing to help me. Is it because I'm very similar to your lover?"
Kim Hyo Joo muttered to herself.
......
Johor Palace.
The King of Johor looked at his trusted ministers with a worried look on his face.
The posthouse was attacked and the third prince of Daqian disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown.
This incident made the King of Johor in a very bad mood.
If something really happened to the third prince of Daqian and he lost his life, he would definitely have to bear the wrath of Daqian.
Compared with the national strength of Daqian, Johor can only be regarded as a small country.
If Daqian sends troops to attack, Johor will not be able to resist at all.
"Your Majesty, after a thorough investigation, the post station has confirmed that the Third Prince's body is not there."
"The body of the Silla princess has not been found either. She was probably abducted along with the others," the Minister of the Interior reported.
"It's a good thing there are no bodies. That way there's still hope."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Therefore, the most urgent task right now is to conduct a city-wide search and find the Third Prince as quickly as possible."
"We need to search not only the entire city, but also the ports, docks, and even ships. According to the intelligence we've gathered, there are quite a few bandits coming, and it's difficult for so many bandits to hide. Nine out of ten, they're hiding in the port."
"Well, that's exactly what I should do. Let's check it out right away."
"We must find the Third Prince, otherwise we will be in great trouble."
"Yes."
The Interior Minister responded respectfully.
......
Meanwhile, Persia.
The unexpected death of the Persian Emperor Artoria plunged the entire Persia into chaos.
Although Artoria was now only emperor in name only, his death caused civil unrest in Persia.
The royal family members and powerful nobles who had been suppressed in the early stage jumped out one after another, ready to ascend the throne of the emperor.
For a time, various forces were in constant conflict.
