Le Zhengfei paused as he was about to serve tea, and the worry on his face vanished instantly.

"It's Luo Chen!" He suddenly stood up and strode towards the door.

Sure enough, the study door was pushed open from the outside, revealing Si Jia's handsome and ethereal face.

Le Zhengfei quickly welcomed him into the study and sat him down. They exchanged pleasantries for a while before getting down to business.

"Luo Chen, you said you'd solve this for us, but how will you do it? Will it have any impact on you?"

It should be noted that Du Hong's hatred for Si Jia was no less than that for the two brothers.

The source of this hatred is laughable.

It was because, at one point, Du Hong extended an olive branch to them, hoping to befriend them, but they refused.

Du Hong believed that they and Si Jia came from prominent families, were arrogant and looked down on him, a poor boy, which was why they ignored him.

Whether it's him and his cousin or Luo Chen, their friendships since childhood have never been based on family background; they're just compatible in temperament.

The reason they didn't want to associate with Du Hong was simply because they saw his selfish and tyrannical nature.

"Don't worry, he won't find anything on me." How could Si Jia not know what he was worried about?

"Go ahead and discuss it with the head of the household. If she's willing to sell you grain, you can go through me and I'll bring it over for you. That should do it. It might take a little longer, though, so you'll have to be patient."

The two brothers, Le Zheng and Le Zheng, exchanged a glance: "This is indeed a good idea. If we clean up our mess, that guy surnamed Du won't be able to do anything to us."

"It would be a big problem if it took too long, but something is better than nothing." Le Zheng Feiyuan gritted his teeth: "I'll take some people up the mountain to look for something. I don't believe we won't find something to fill our stomachs."

"That's all we can do. I came here intending to bring you some, but this year's harvest is..." Si Jia sighed deeply.

Le Zhengfei patted his shoulder and comforted him, "I understand, you don't need to explain."

"By the way, didn't you go out to look for a solution? Did you find one?"

In his view, this was simply impossible; otherwise, why would so many people in the north be fleeing famine?

Speaking of this, Si Jiaqingya's face lit up with a smile: "We found it, and the effect is quite good."

If it weren't for this matter, he wouldn't have come to the general's mansion so late.

"Really? That's wonderful!" Although Yue Zheng Feiyuan found it unbelievable, he was also happy for him. "What is it? Tell me?"

Si Jia couldn't say anything more: "I'm sorry, this involves someone else's secret, and it's not convenient for me to tell you."

Le Zhengfei was taken aback for a moment, but quickly understood: "Since it concerns other people, you really can't tell us."

"Luo Chen, you go and rest first. We'll go find Lady Luo now."

In the general's mansion, Si Jia had her own private room, and he didn't need to arrange anything for her.

“No need, I’ll go with you.” Si Jia was the first to stand up. “I parted ways with the Boss in such a hurry last time, I wonder how she is now?”

"Boss?" Le Zhengfei noticed the way he was addressed right away: "Are you very familiar with Lady Luo?"

"You'll find out then," Si Jia said with a mysterious smile.

The Yue brothers: "..."

This is strange. This is the second time he has acted like this. Could it be related to his trip out to find a way out of the drought?

Before long, the three of them arrived at Luo Xi's courtyard. From a distance, they could hear the sounds of fighting coming from inside. The two brothers, Le Zheng and Le Zheng, looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Could there be an assassin?" The two men's expressions changed immediately.

Si Jia chuckled, "Don't worry, it's just that the Ninth Master has challenged the Chief to a duel again."

Back at Chaoyang Manor, he had already witnessed how crazy the Ninth Master could be in order to fight the First Master, even...

Thinking back to how she met the leader, Si Jia still can't help but laugh.

A martial arts contest? Yue Zheng Feiyuan and Yue Zheng Feibo's eyes lit up.

Si Jia: "..."

How could he forget that these two were just as obsessed with martial arts as the Ninth Master?

Sure enough, Yue Zheng Feiyuan and Yue Zheng Feibo forgot even the most basic manners and rushed in without knocking.

Qinglong, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, thought that bad guys had come and even drew his sword. But it turned out that it was the master of the general's mansion who entered.

Only then did Yue Zheng Feiyuan realize his rudeness and quickly apologized repeatedly.

Qinglong didn't pay any attention and put the sword back.

The two brothers, Le Zheng and his brother, then turned their attention to Luo Xi and the others, but they were stunned by what they saw.

The reason is simple: Luo Xi and Jiu Xian's fight doesn't look like a martial arts contest at all. Who fights by aiming for vital points quickly and ruthlessly? It looks more like enemies fighting to the death, showing no mercy whatsoever.

"Luo Chen, is it normal for them to act like this?" Le Zheng Fei Yuan asked Si Jia in a low voice.

Si Jia was stunned for a moment before she realized what he meant: "Don't worry, they know what they're doing."

These two always fought like this. At first, he was terrified watching them, but he gradually got used to it.

Luo Chen was never one to talk nonsense. Hearing what he said, the two of them felt relieved and began to concentrate on watching the fight, but they were still more and more alarmed as they watched.

As the master of the Red Chamber, Jiu Xian's martial arts skills are beyond question. Every move he makes is devoid of unnecessary techniques, all aimed at killing with a single blow.

What they didn't expect was that under Jiu Xian's fierce attack, Luo Xi not only held her own but also seemed quite relaxed.

She even had time to speak: "That move was too slow, that move went astray..."

The two Yue brothers looked at Luo Xi differently now.
