Chapter 356 Unexpected Events
Tang Jinglan thought that Long Mohan's surprise was because he was dissatisfied with the shape of the beads, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the conditions are limited, and time is limited, so let's just make do with this."
Ji Anni stared at the beads in Tang Jinglan's hand and asked, "Are you going to make these beads into earrings?"
Regardless of the size of the beads or the wearing position, it is most appropriate to make them into earrings.
Tang Jinglan nodded and said, "Time is tight now, so I can only make a communication earring first." At this point, she turned to Long Mohan with an apologetic look and said, "Your Majesty, it's too strange for a man to wear earrings, so let Your Majesty wear the finished product."
Long Mohan said: "Okay, I have no objection."
Anyway, he is not very familiar with these high-tech products, so he might as well step down and let Ji Anni carry out the task of liaison with the headquarters.
Ji Anni certainly had no objection and nodded repeatedly, saying, "It's decided, Brother Tang, you just work hard on making the earrings. We won't bother you anymore and will take our leave now. When you finish making the earrings, come to the inn to find us. You should still remember which room we stayed in, right?"
Tang Jinglan said: "Of course I remember, then I won't see you off."
He was busy searching for materials in the toolbox, racing against time, and didn't even raise his head when he replied.
After saying goodbye to Tang Jinglan, Ji Anni and Long Mohan tiptoed out of the secret base. Ji Anni thought that the opened bookshelf door would close automatically, but after they took two or three steps, the door still showed a 30-degree crack with the wall, without any change. Seeing this, Ji Anni came to the light-colored mark in the corner of the wall, and imitated Tang Jinglan, covering the mark with her palm and gently brushing it. Then she heard a loud noise, and the bookshelf door closed.
"You are quite good with these devices." Long Mohan couldn't help but admire Ji Annie when he saw her skillful movements.
Ji Anni became proud and said with a smile, "Of course, I am also a young person who grew up in the electronic age."

After leaving Tang Jinglan's room, Long Mohan asked quietly, "Do you think he can really find Zhao Ji?"
Not long ago, he was at a loss of how to find Zhao Ji, but now he has seen hope. This made Long Mohan a little bit unbelievable, thinking that Ji Anni was deceiving him.
Although Ji Anni herself didn't know what the chances were of Tang Jinglan finding Zhaoji, in order to reassure Long Mohan, she patted her chest and guaranteed, "Don't worry, I think this brother named Tang is very reliable. As long as we are patient and wait for a while, we may be able to get in touch with the future society. By then, finding Zhaoji will be a piece of cake, there is nothing to worry about."
"Really?" Long Mohan recalled the melancholy expression on Tang Jinglan's face when she talked about the time machine, and he intuitively felt that things were not as simple as Ji Anni said.
"Really, really. In short, you will be able to see your beloved wife soon, and I will be able to return to my world soon." Ji Anni patted Long Mohan's shoulder carelessly.
The close interactions during the past two days and the calls of brother and sister had made her forget the other party's noble status and she began to regard the emperor as a brother.
But when it comes to returning to the original world, Ji Anni, who should have been happy, can't smile sincerely. She is too tied to this world, so deeply that she has given up the opportunity to go home together. So she doesn't know what choice she will make when such an opportunity appears in front of her again.

After returning to the inn, Ji Anni and Long Mohan had a simple lunch and then began a long and agonizing wait.
Ji Anni looked out the window once every three seconds. Across the street, her sight fell directly on the room with the antenna in the Ebony Escort Agency. Although she couldn't see the secret base behind the wall in the room, she was restless and looked around as if she had to see the house to feel at ease.
Long Mohan could have kept his composure and sat calmly at the table, but when he saw Ji Anni walking around the room, mumbling to herself, he couldn't help but get annoyed.
"Can you please sit down quietly?" Long Mohan finally couldn't help but express his dissatisfaction to Ji Anni.
"How can we be quiet now? Tianning is still in the hands of the rebels!" Ji Anni had already regretted returning to the inn. If she had known earlier, she should have stayed in the secret base. That way, at least she could keep an eye on Princess Tianning through the screen and know whether she was beaten or bullied. She wouldn't have to be so uneasy like she is now.
Time passed slowly in the anxious waiting, and finally, the sun gradually sank to the west. The warm red light of the setting sun enveloped the mountaintops, shrouding the entire imperial city in a faint glow.
Ji Anni's neck almost stretched out like a giraffe. Finally, her hard work paid off. Before the sunset completely sank behind the mountain, she finally saw Tang Jinglan push the door and walk out of the room.
"It's out! It's out!" Ji Anni pulled Long Mohan to the window as quickly as possible, and excitedly pointed at Tang Jinglan who had just walked out of the room and kept shouting.
As they were too far away, Tang Jinglan could not hear her shouting. He lowered his head and walked quickly towards the main entrance of the Wumu Escort Agency. Time was running out, and Tang Jinglan's steps were very fast. In less than half a minute, he had already arrived outside Ji Anni and Long Mohan's room from the Wumu Escort Agency. Before he raised his hand to knock on the door, Ji Anni had already opened the door enthusiastically to welcome him.
"How is it? Are you done?" Ji Anni pulled Tang Jinglan into the room and asked hurriedly.
Tang Jinglan said nothing, just smiled and opened her palms.
A pair of exquisite and beautiful pearl earrings appeared in Ji Anni's sight. Ji Anni couldn't help but exclaimed: "You are so amazing. Not only can you engage in scientific research, but you can also switch to a jewelry business."
No wonder Tang Jinglan spent so much time on this. It turned out that in addition to converting the pearls into a communicator, he also processed the pearls into earrings. And these earrings were not simply rough products that were simply made to deal with the problem, but were carefully processed and designed. Even if they were not a communicator, just a pair of earrings would be enough to make the daughters of wealthy families take out their wallets.
"Haha, it's great to meet you." Ji Anni finally understood the true feeling of the four words "It's a pity we didn't meet earlier."
Under Ji Anni's undisguised praise, Tang Jinglan's cheeks flushed slightly. He asked worriedly, "Girl, although the communicator is ready, do you really want to take the risk yourself?"
Ji Anni said, "It's not dangerous at all. With you here, how can there be any danger? And... isn't he with me too?" As she said that, she nodded in the direction of Long Mohan.
Although she quarreled with Long Mohan all the way, she knew in her heart that the other party was a caring and good bodyguard who would never let her fall into danger - although that was only out of concern for Zhao Ji's health.
"Okay, girl, you must be more careful." Tang Jinglan helped Ji Anni put on the earrings.
Although there is a pair of earrings, only the one on the right ear actually has the function of communication. Under the cover of black hair, the small and cute pearl that is looming makes Ji Anni's skin look white, smooth and crystal clear. The warm cheeks are not inferior to the brilliance of the pearls. After she put on the earrings, the two men in the room were stunned and attracted by the beauty in front of them.
Of course, Ji Anni herself did not notice the expressions in the other two people’s gazes. Her mind was full of the “Dark Dawn” operation tonight.
She still had the little blackhead Yun Zhen gave her hanging around her neck, and now she had a pair of pearl earrings on her earlobes. Suddenly she felt like a special forces soldier, and every small accessory on her body had a special function.
Although both black stones and pearl earrings are used to transmit sound, there is an essential difference between the two. Black stones rely on Taoism, while pearls rely on science.
It seems incredible that in this special time and space, Taoism and science have naturally merged and converged on Ji Annie alone.
In such a hurry, Ji Anni didn't even have time to admire her new earrings in the mirror. She hurried to Long Mohan and urged him, "Brother, when are you going to leave? I think it's getting dark soon, why don't we start now?"
Long Mohan was more cautious. Before setting off, he asked Tang Jinglan again, "When will the east wind you mentioned arrive?"
Tang Jinglan answered based on the weather forecast: "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be midnight tonight."
"Zi hour? So late?" If it was the Xu hour or the Hai hour, Ji Anni might not understand, but if it was Zi hour, at least she knew it meant midnight.
"I wonder if I can wait for the east wind..." Long Mohan also felt that the east wind came too late. He couldn't help but sigh softly, frowning and looking towards the direction of the palace.
In the forest, the red flames were clearly visible. Needless to say, it must have been ignited by the Anti-Imperialist Society to force the Queen Mother to move the capital.
At this moment, there was a sudden "pop" sound, as if some liquid hit the windowsill.
Ji Anni, Long Mohan and Tang Jinglan were stunned for a moment. The sudden "click" sound made them come up with the same guess at the same time.
"No...it can't be..." Ji Anni slowly turned her head and stared at Tang Jinglan in disbelief.
Tang Jinglan scratched her head and muttered to herself, "No way... Impossible..."
Long Mohan stood up suddenly, rushed to the window, and just as he stuck his head out of the window to see what was going on, he heard a loud "crash" and heavy rain fell from the sky.
"The weather forecast didn't say it would rain tonight, did it?" Ji Anni really didn't want to doubt the accuracy of Tang Jinglan's weather forecast.
Tang Jinglan wondered, "It's not going to rain, is it? It's impossible for it to rain tonight..."
