"Grain?" Qi Zhao was very surprised and immediately rushed into the room. He quickly untied several bags, and after confirming that they contained grain, he was extremely excited.

"In this way, the people of Anhuai County will be saved."

After saying that, he quickly called his men in. "Call some more people immediately to carry this rice down the mountain."

"Yes, young master."

The man turned and left, and soon returned with a group of people.

"Let's go back to Anhuai County first."

"Okay," Jiang Wanwan replied.

Thus, under the escort of Qi Zhao's men, the two returned safely to Anhuai County.

The two returned to the county town, and it was already broad daylight.

After Qi Zhao escorted Jiang Wanwan back to the inn, he said, "Wanwan, you eat and rest first. I have some things to take care of."

Jiang Wanwan nodded in understanding; she could guess without being asked that he was going to deal with the matter of the magistrate of Anhuai County.

Jiang Wanwan wasn't particularly interested in these matters of officialdom. She believed that Qi Zhao could handle them well.

Jiang Wanwan asked the waiter to bring hot water into the room. After taking a comfortable bath, she asked the waiter to bring over a few steamed buns.

After closing the doors and windows, Jiang Wanwan bought a pork rib and olive soup, a steamed lotus root, a sweet and sour pork, and a small bowl of rice from the mall.

After enjoying breakfast alone in the house, she rested for a while until she had digested her food, then hugged her blanket and fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already dark outside.

Knock knock knock!

"Wanwan, are you awake?" Qi Zhao's somewhat hoarse voice came from outside the house.

"Hey, I'm up. Just a moment."

After quickly getting dressed, Jiang Wanwan jogged over and opened the door.

At this moment, Qi Zhao looked somewhat tired.

"You've been busy until now, haven't you taken a break?" Jiang Wanwan asked energetically.

"I took a nap." Qi Zhao couldn't help but yawn. "You look like you rested quite well. In that case, come down and have some simple food. We'll set off back to Anyang County in a bit."

"Why don't you rest for a while before setting off?" Jiang Wanwan said with a touch of pity, looking at Qi Zhao's heavy dark circles.

"It's alright. The sooner we send them back to the capital, the sooner we can put our minds at ease. If we delay any longer, Su Mu's men might come looking for us."

“That’s true. Then let’s eat quickly and set off.” Jiang Wanwan ran back into the house, picked up her bundle, and ran down to the main hall.

Qi Zhao laughed and scolded, "You heartless little thing."

There were many people eating in the lobby. These people were dressed in worn-out clothes and had dark skin. They looked no different from ordinary people, but Jiang Wanwan could tell at a glance that these people were Qi Zhao's subordinates.

The waiter grinned and walked briskly as he brought food to Jiang Wanwan and Qi Zhao.

Jiang Wanwan asked, feigning certainty, "Little brother, did you find some gold? Why are you so happy today?"

"Hehe, I'm even happier than if I found gold! You have no idea, Black Wind Stronghold was wiped out by the Sixth Prince's men, and they even found a lot of grain."

And what's more, today the Sixth Prince even ordered the dog-like magistrate to be taken to the market and beheaded as a warning. Isn't that even more exciting than finding gold?

"Yes, that's really good news!" Jiang Wanwan glanced at Qi Zhao and chuckled.

"That's not all. The Sixth Prince also sent his men to register the people, saying that each person would receive five catties of grain based on the number of hairs on their head. Hehe~~"

"In that case, the Sixth Prince is quite a good prince," Jiang Wanwan said with a smile.

"They're more than just good; they're practically our Anhuai County's second parents."
