Chapter 234 Ambition

Feng Li first flattered him.

Only then did we get to the point.

"But we can't exchange for other supplies, such as salt, oil, cloth, etc., which are all scarce in these villages."

Many people have been mending a piece of clothing for years and dare not wash it often for fear of damaging it.

Some children are born naked, and when they are four or five years old, they still run around naked.

There was no clothes to cover the body, let alone sheets and quilts.

Many people just sleep directly on a pair of hay.

There are no sheets or quilts.

Things like oil and salt are even rarer in the eighth and ninth grade areas.

Many families may only be able to eat one or two meals a month with some oil and salt.

Before, although these supplies were few, they could at least be exchanged from the Xie family’s trading point.

But now, they have dug so many black gold stones and collected so many medicinal herbs in the forest, but they have no place to exchange supplies.

"I'm not saying this to blame you, my lady."

Feng Li couldn't tell what the expression on Yun Fu's face meant at the moment, but he could tell that the big man sitting next to Yun Fu was in a very bad mood after hearing what he said.

That look is so scary!

Feng Li was afraid of being beaten, so he quickly tried to make amends: "Actually, even if you don't have oil, salt, or clothes to wear, you can still survive."

"The Xie family's trading point is very unscrupulous. We can't exchange our goods for much, so it's better not to exchange them."

Yun Fu had no regrets about shutting down the Xie family's trading point.

If she were given another choice, she would still do the same.

She kept her head down and didn't say anything. It wasn't because she felt bad about shutting down the Xie family's trading point, but because she was seriously thinking about how to solve the problem she was facing.

"I've said before that if the Xie family's path is gone, we can find other ways. This Ghostly Prison doesn't have the surname Xie! I don't believe that the Xie family can dominate here!"

Yun Fu doesn't even take the dog emperor and his group of sons seriously, so the Xie family is nothing!

"You guys go back. I will find a solution to this matter as soon as possible."

——

When everyone had left, only two people were left.

Qi Hanzhou finally spoke: "Xiao Fu'er, how do you want to resolve this matter? Should we contact the Cui family?"

Even though he was unwilling in his heart, Qi Hanzhou knew that in their current situation, discussing cooperation with the Cui family was the best option.

Yun Fu also nodded: "The Cui family is indeed a good choice, but this is not the only path for us."

"You, don't plan to contact the Cui family?" Qi Hanzhou was a little surprised when he heard this.

Yun Fu shook her head again and said lazily, "No, what I mean is that we can't just take the Cui family's route. The Cui family is one route, the caravan can also be a route, and there is another route that leads to other areas of the Ghostly Prison."

Qi Hanzhou had known for a long time that she was a phoenix that could soar through the clouds by flapping its wings, and would not stay in small places like the ninth and eighth grade areas for her entire life. However, at this moment, he saw the true ambition in the little girl's eyes.

"Okay, no matter which path you take, remember, I will always be by your side."

——

The entrance to the Ghost Prison.

Zheng Wei has been guarding here for so many years, but he never expected to meet the third prince Chu Jingyan here.

Someone who shouldn't be here is here now. Zheng Wei's eyes are filled with shock and confusion: "Third Prince? What brings you here?"

Chu Jingyan sat on the main seat in the big tent, wearing a white fox fur coat and an ivory brocade robe. The fabric of the clothes looked unusual, with silver silk thread edging and embroidered with elegant bamboo patterns, giving people a feeling of being at peace with the world.

But Zheng Wei knew that this person only looked indifferent, but in fact, he was doing a lot of tricks behind the scenes.

How could the wolf Emperor Dasheng give birth to a puppy without ambition?

The affairs of the Qi family are definitely related to the third prince.

Chu Jingyan's eyebrows twitched, and he gave him a seemingly gentle smile: "I was ordered by my father to come to the northwest to provide disaster relief, and I also came to see you, General Zheng. You have been guarding this ghost prison for many years. General, you have worked hard."

Zheng Wei couldn't figure out his intentions, so he could only respond carefully with every word: "It's not hard. This is what I should do as a minister of Dasheng!"

"General Zheng and I haven't seen each other for a long time. I want to talk alone. You all can leave." Chu Jingyan glanced at the group of guards beside him.

The guards received his gaze and immediately took action.

Not only did he leave on his own, he also forcibly took away several guards who were following Zheng Wei.

In the blink of an eye, only Zheng Wei and Chu Jingyan were left in the general's tent.

"I once met the young master of the general's family in the palace. I was deeply impressed. Young Master Zheng is worthy of being the son of a great general. He is so skilled in martial arts at such a young age. I thought he would rise to the top and inherit the general's legacy, becoming a great general. I didn't expect..."

His son is the biggest pain in Zheng Wei's heart.

Every time Zheng Wei heard others mention his son’s tragic death, he would become extremely excited.

This time is no exception.

"My son was murdered by a traitor."

Chu Jingyan wanted to see his hateful look: "Ah, what a pity, such a good young man, actually offended the Qi family because he was too outstanding, and was harmed by the Qi family. I heard that..."

"What did you hear?" Zheng Wei got angry and when he saw that he was halfway through his words, he urged him to continue.

Chu Jingyan is the best at attacking people's hearts. He did this on purpose because he understood Zheng Wei's psychology.

"This matter is already in the past. Why is General Zheng still asking about it? What good will it do even if he knows? Aren't the Qi family members who murdered your young master already dead? Your young master's revenge can be considered avenged."

He just wanted to lead Zheng Wei into his plan little by little.

"The Qi family is not completely dead yet. Qi Hanzhou and those little ones are still alive!" The hatred in Zheng Wei's eyes deepened when he thought that he was now alone and his bloodline was cut off, while the Qi family still had so many descendants alive.

"Well, I'll tell you." Chu Jingyan took a sip of tea and frowned in disgust. If he wasn't acting with Zheng Wei here at the moment, he might have spit it out.

"I heard that Qi Chuan, seeing that Young Master Ling was more favored by my father than his other sons, deliberately designed a drama to lure Young Master Ling into committing a military offense. He then used military law to kill Young Master Ling and clear the obstacles for his own son."

Zheng Wei originally thought that his good son would not be so foolish as to do things that violated military law, so he believed what Chu Jingyan said.
