84 The Big Dipper shines high, He Chenye carries a knife in the dark!

"Yes, it's true. It's where Lord He was before—Jin Family Village and Weng Family Village, among others! Wei Lan was reportedly also in Jin Family Village before."

Sister Hong said. Sister Hong was a good conversationalist; she would chat with the surrounding vendors while buying and selling goods, and that's how she heard it. This matter wasn't exactly a secret, and He Chen hadn't deliberately ordered it to be kept confidential. Those who were interested in inquiring had some scattered information.

Wes nodded. He was also collecting this kind of information. Although some people were tight-lipped, a few words of praise and a pot of wine, combined with vanity, might lead to exaggeration, but it was mostly true. Seeing that both of them reacted this way...

She said softly, "Okay, that's good. Sister Hong, Uncle Si, you've had a long journey. I'll go to the market with you in a few days to pay my respects to Sister Wei Lan."

"Miss, no, you mustn't. I can handle this myself by visiting them," said Aunt Hong hurriedly.

"Sister Hong, there's no need for that. If we really have to move to the market, it won't be a complete relocation right away. However, we absolutely must go to Lord He's place. Uncle Si is a fifth-rank cultivator, and Mad Dragon's Fifth-Rank Slash is also highly skilled; he just lacks a bit of luck. If Uncle Si is willing, he will surely have no worries about life!"

The market is just starting to develop, and it must be short of manpower! Besides, there are some talented people in the village. If they can find some jobs, it will be a good help to the other people in the village.

I imagine other villages will have the same idea if they decide to go. With Sister Weilan around, we should visit them beforehand; their information will definitely be more accurate.

Listening to their young mistress speaking so thoughtfully about the village, the two couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Aunt Hong agreed, saying, "Miss's thinking is very thoughtful; you should pay them a visit first! However, if Miss is already planning to do so, why not set off tomorrow? Don't worry about me, Miss. The goods sold this time fetched good prices, and I'm very happy; I don't feel tired at all!"

Hong Sao was also a decisive person, and she didn't care at all about her tiring journey.

Wes nodded and said, "Sister Hong is right. If Miss has decided on this, why not set off tomorrow? Knowing the news sooner will give us more time to plan."

Seeing their mutual concern, he was moved and, looking at Wes, decided, "Uncle Wes, please take that two-hundred-year-old ginseng with you!"

Seeing the decisive look in the young lady's eyes, she said, "Yes!"

After He Chen escorted Elder Weng, Jin Luo, and the others to their seats, everyone took their places. "Sir, some supplies are already being prepared. There's no shortage of timber or stone here, so most building materials can be sourced locally without incurring significant costs!"

"It's just that the demand for food is high later on. The soil here is poor, and grain harvests aren't plentiful," Old Weng explained in his report.

"Alright, there's no need to rush about the food issue for now. I've already arranged for teams from Huangtu County and the Xie family to collect it!"

"My lord, no suspicious demonic invasions have been detected in the surrounding area so far," Jin Luo reported.

"Alright, thank you for your hard work. The reason I sent you here is to expedite the construction of some houses to accommodate about a thousand households! Soon, around a thousand soldiers and their families will be stationed here. Please don't leak this information yet. Just prepare the supplies. Also, make sure the furniture and other amenities are ready!"

As for the cost, Elder Weng can decide on the expenses. Let me know if it's not enough. If you're not here, you can call Hua Yu and the others. 'With that,' he took out a box of gold leaves from his spatial ring.

"Yes, sir. The daily tax revenue isn't much either, so I imagine there's not much to be lacking."

He Chen exchanged some more words with Elder Weng. Recently, with Jin Luo leading daily patrols, there haven't been any major disturbances in the area. With the rules established and He Chen's powerful military backing, unless someone is a desperate criminal, most people will need to think twice before acting.

If they can't stay at this market, they definitely can't go to Huangtu County either. It's a rare escape to the vast mountains, which are a paradise for monsters. Where can they find supplies?

The group said their goodbyes and left.

The sun was setting over the western hills, a wisp of evening glow lingered in the sky, and blue-white clouds drifted by. Wen'er had already returned while the sun was still on the horizon. She was skipping and hopping around, displaying the lively and adorable nature of a child!

"Hello, Sister Yunsu," "Hello, Sister Fanghua,"...

"Wen'er, you're back. Come here and let me hug you!" the girls teased, but Wen'er nimbly dodged away!

After greeting the people she knew, she looked at the ethereal moon, as beautiful as a celestial being. Her bright eyes flashed, and she said, "Hello, fairy sister!"

Piaomiaoyue was overjoyed to hear this, "Hello Wen'er, let me hug you!"

After a bit of playful fighting, Wei Lan said, "Wen'er, come wash your hands. Dinner is coming soon." She led Wen'er into the house to wash up.

On the table were fresh wolf meat, pork, mutton, and even leopard meat! Braised chicken, braised duck, and other dishes—the table looked so small at that moment!

There was also a three-foot-long eel, though it was smaller than the previous ones. Both three-foot-long fish were already grilled.

One side of the table was laden with meat dishes, while the other side featured mainly vegetables, local seasonal vegetables! There were many varieties, such as cabbage and braised chicken with radish! The table was piled high with them.

After a simple meal, the girls didn't want to eat anymore. He Chen, however, was munching on his food like a farmer who had just finished a physical labor.

Then, the people who had eaten took turns feeding each other the food.

The delicious dinner proceeded swiftly. The teeth, sharp as bronze and iron, digested the food rapidly. Cells gained energy and quickly stored it.

"My lord, these are the ginseng and aged medicinal herbs that Elder Weng collected today." Jie Huayu brought the items over while everyone rested. Upon receiving them and opening them, she was pleased to find a considerable amount—more than thirty items.

Surprised, he looked at her questioningly.

Jie Huayu, dressed in a long, sleeveless dress adorned with large peonies and emerald green gauze, her fair arms exposed, slowly moved behind her, gently pressing her shoulder, and explained with a smile, "My lord, these days, as your reputation as the Chief of the Police Department, the Chief Constable of the Yamen, and the Director of the Public Security Bureau has spread, your fame has truly spread far and wide!"

Many people from the surrounding villages are willing to settle here. These are land parcels that many villages are using for land exchange. But don't worry, the best locations won't be given away for now; they've all been reserved.

He nodded and said, "Okay. Thank you for your hard work!"

A barely audible, teasing voice whispered in my ear, "Adults have it tough too!"

Then, night fell, a subtle fragrance filled the air, and the sound of a door closing rang out!

It suddenly became restless.

All I could hear was the rats gnawing at the cabinet, grinding their teeth. The creaking and groaning went on for two hours.

Then it gradually subsided. A faint sweetness graced her lips, suggesting that she had dreamt of countless beautiful scenes.

Half an hour later, she pulled her hands and feet away, gently got up, and looked at him with affection, her long, dark hair tied up!

Hold the blanket tight! Leave slowly, closing the door gently.

The moon hangs high in the sky. A gentle breeze blows, refreshing the mind and spirit. The soul is at peace! Every cell in the body seems to rejoice.

Thinking back to the daytime delivery of the flower interpretation map, I remembered the map of Wanjiazhuang! My memory is really good now; I can remember it at a glance.

The beauty is beyond description! The Big Dipper shines high. He Chenye carries his sword in the dead of night!
