Li Yan, a university graduate and village official dedicated to poverty alleviation, accidentally transmigrated into Li Family Village, nestled in a mountain gully. Her family was impoverished. Due...
Lin Feng: "Young Master Qin, you don't have to be so polite. We also heard that the man wanted to threaten General Qin with your life. As citizens of the northwest, and under the protection of General Qin, we shouldn't sit idly by!"
Hearing him say this, Qin Yue couldn't help but look at Lin Feng and his group.
At this time, the Zhou brothers brought down the mules and donkeys hidden in the mountains and said, "Brother Lin, it's too dangerous to stay here for long. Let's leave quickly!"
Qin Yue suddenly said, "Since you are also going to the northwest, then we are on the same route. How about we travel together?"
Li Yan immediately refused: "We still need to go to Yuncheng to handle some matters, and I'm afraid it will delay your work!"
Qin Yue insisted, "But I haven't repaid you for saving my life yet!"
After hearing what he said, Li Yan said directly, "If you really feel uneasy, could you give me some of those things and two horses as well?"
Everyone looked in the direction Li Yan pointed, and saw something round and yellow rolling on the ground.
Qin Yue's expression was torn for a moment, then he returned to normal: "I can give you two horses, but that thing is not mine, you have to ask him!" Then he pointed to Eunuch Xiao Xia.
Eunuch Xiao Xia saw everyone's gazes on him and hesitated for a moment before saying, "This is fresh food sent as tribute from the Western Regions. The Emperor wants to give it to General Qin!"
Li Yan smiled and said, "There's still a cart full of food. Food gets spoiled easily on the road, so the ones scattered on the ground are considered spoiled. Just consider it a favor and give it to me!"
Seeing that Eunuch Xiao Xia was still hesitating, Li Yan continued to persuade him, "Besides, this thing was originally intended for General Qin, so it's equivalent to Young Master Qin's. We are all family. It's just some food. General Qin won't care!"
It sounded like it made sense, and Eunuch Xia nodded in tacit agreement.
Li Yan happily led people to pick up the potatoes that had fallen on the ground and filled half of the carriage with them.
By the time Li Yan and her group had packed their bags, Qin Yue and the others had also returned to normal.
Lin Feng clasped his fists towards Qin Yue and said, "Since you, Mr. Qin, have all recovered, we will proceed first!"
Qin Yue nodded: "Thank you all for saving me today, have a safe journey!"
Lin Feng and his group left the mountain and continued to move towards Yuncheng with the goods.
On the way, Tie Zhu asked in confusion, "We want to establish a relationship with General Qin, so why don't we agree to go with him?"
Li Yan explained, "The people chasing Young Master Qin have let a few of them escape. If they gather more men to assassinate Young Master Qin, we'll be implicated if we're with them!"
"But why should we accept Master Qin's thank-you gift? Although the two horses are valuable, they are insignificant compared to saving Master Qin's life!" Tiezhu asked in confusion.
Li Yan recalled the look Qin Yue had given her uncle just now and shook her head. "Maybe I'm overthinking it. We suddenly appeared here. Even though we saved Young Master Qin, our appearance was too abrupt for them. To avoid their suspicion, we should first ask for some benefits and then leave!"
Tiezhu suddenly understood after hearing this. He scratched his confused head and praised: "Miss Li is really smart!"
Lin Feng couldn't help but look at his niece again. When did this child develop such a mindset? Lin Feng sighed in his heart, what a pity it wasn't a boy!
