"Zhu Lei, don't go too far."
Village chief Zhou shouted loudly that their village had 10,000 catties of grain, and Li Mengyue gave them two cents per catty. Compared with the grain price in town, it was simply given away for free.
Everyone in Zhoujia Village regarded these grains as life-saving food and treasured them very much.
But now they were about to lose half of their food, and Zhu Lei was still making sarcastic remarks. How could he bear it?
He didn't dare to touch Master Liu, but couldn't he take his anger out on Zhu Lei? Village Chief Zhou, who was usually not very agile, ran quickly to Zhu Lei, pounced forward, sat on Zhu Lei and started beating him.
Compared with Zhu Lei, Village Chief Zhou was no match at all and was pushed aside by Zhu Lei in no time.
Zhu Lei knew that no matter what, Village Chief Zhou was still the head of the village, and he couldn't beat the village chief in front of the villagers.
Village chief Zhou looked at Zhu Lei's dark face and realized when he had become so bold as to fight with Zhu Lei.
Fortunately, Zhu Lei did not kill him, otherwise he would have died miserably.
Liu Quan turned a blind eye to the fight between Zhu Lei and Village Chief Zhou. His goal was food, and then to drive Li Mengyue out of the village.
At present, it seems that the only way is to get the food first, and then find a way to get Li Mengyue. By then, no matter whether Xinghua Village drives Li Mengyue out or not, she will be in his hands, and the second lady's mission will be completed.
But when he still needed Zhu Lei, he casually said, "Follow me."
In Xinghua Village, all the villagers looked at Village Chief Li and rushed to the village warehouse, feeling unhappy.
The grain that had just been brought back was about to be taken away before the villagers could even finish celebrating. Who would be really excited?
But they knew that if they didn't give it, they would get nothing. The prince led his troops to fight for their lives to protect thousands of people. They were just paying a little bit of food, so they should give it to him without hesitation.
It was just that these grains were obtained by Li Mengyue for the village, and she sold them to the village at such a low price of two cents. Everyone in the village was deeply moved.
Who would have thought that the grain would be taken away just after it was brought to the village warehouse and before it even warmed up?
Village chief Li felt uncomfortable as well, but as long as he thought that these foods were for His Royal Highness Prince Chen, the discomfort in his heart disappeared.
No matter how big Xinghua Village is, or how far away the warehouse is, we will eventually get there, and we got there quickly.
The one walking in front was Village Chief Li, followed by villagers from Zhulin Village, Xinghua Village, and six other villages.
Standing at the door of the warehouse, Village Chief Li hesitated to move.
"Village Chief Li, right? You should feel honored to be able to give food to the King of Chen. Come on, don't just stand there. Open the door quickly. We have to move the food and go to other villages. Time is running out."
Faced with Liu Quan's urging, Village Chief Li reached out tremblingly and took out the key from his arms.
"Here you go."
Zhu Lei saw the key and grabbed it immediately. He inserted the key into the lock and the door opened.
“Crack.”
When Liu Quanqi entered the warehouse and saw the piles of grain inside, his eyes lit up.
Unexpectedly, he lost the food he bought. When he went out to buy more again, he couldn't find any. He thought that he couldn't complete the first task assigned to him by the second lady.
Who would have thought that such a small Xinghua Village could hide so much food.
"Come here, move the food."
"What are you all still standing there for? Didn't you hear what Master Liu said? Hurry and move!"
The villagers of Zhulin Village rushed forward and started carrying the grain bags.
