"Li Jingang was able to escape and retreat to Qishan, where he formed a supporting force with Ma Zongliang, who subsequently retreated to Xiyang."
After listening to Wang Tiezhu's story, Zhao Muyun seemed to be thinking about something.
The imperial army and Li Jingang’s rebels are currently in a standoff again, which is a good thing for Zhao Muyun!
In Xiazhou, you can now boldly develop the tobacco business with confidence!
It is the tobacco harvest season now. I wonder if Bai Ruolan, Zhao Wen and Huang Chang have made any achievements.
"Zhu Zi, this intelligence is very timely!" Zhao Muyun praised. "In addition to keeping a close eye on the rebellion suppression efforts in Xijing, we can arrange for people to infiltrate the capital!"
"Also, after Miss Bingbing completes this mission, you should arrange for her to go to Lingnan!"
"Brother Zhao... Miss Bingbing seems to be interested in you. Why did you send her to Lingnan?" Wang Tiezhu remembered what he had promised Bingbing.
"Xue'er is pregnant, and Ruolan has deep feelings for me."
Zhao Muyun interrupted Wang Tiezhu, "And that Princess Qinghe is quite troublesome..."
"It's not easy for us brothers to get to where we are today. As your leader, you must prioritize the greater good and put aside your personal feelings."
When Wang Tiezhu heard this, he immediately felt ashamed: "Brother Zhao, I know I was wrong."
"Get busy!"
Zhao Muyun handed the wheelchair to Wang Tiezhu's entourage and was about to invite Tang Yanhai, Li Si and others to go into the conference room to rest.
Suddenly reminded by Wang Tiezhu, Zhao Muyun thought of Bai Ruolan.
I haven't seen you for a few days and I miss you a little.
Bai Ruolan was as gentle as water, singing loudly and humming softly, her body was as delicate as jade, and Zhao Muyun's heart was moved.
"Master Zhao, General Bai and General Zhao have returned from Xiazhou!"
Suddenly, a loud announcement came from outside the door.
Zhao Muyun was shocked. Speak of the devil and he will appear!
He suppressed his excitement and slowly raised his head: "Oh, please invite them in!"
Before he finished speaking, Bai Ruolan and Zhao Wen came over with their followers, carrying a wooden box.
Bai Ruolan was still graceful, but her brows showed fatigue from the long journey. When she saw Zhao Muyun, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Husband," Bai Ruolan stepped forward quickly and bowed slightly.
"Thank you for your hard work, Ruolan!"
"Uncle, you've been traveling so long, take a rest!"
Zhao Muyun greeted Bai Ruolan and Zhao Wen with a smile, his eyes falling on the box, "What is this?"
Bai Ruolan smiled sweetly and signaled her followers to open the box.
Inside the box were neatly stacked long and thin strips rolled in fine oil paper, emitting a unique tobacco aroma.
"What's this?"
Tang Yanhai and Li Si came closer to smell it, looking puzzled.
"Come, you all try it first!"
Zhao Muyun didn't say what they were. He picked up a few and distributed them to the men present. His movements were very skillful and quick, which made Bai Ruolan stunned.
"Taste? How do you eat this?"
Tang Yanhai and Li Si were destined not to be able to eat fine bran, so they took it and stuffed it into their mouths, ready to chew.
"Pah! Why is it so bitter?"
Before Zhao Muyun could stop them, the two of them had already eaten half of it.
"Tsk!" Zhao Muyun scoffed. "Bring me a tinder!"
A guard hurriedly handed over a lighter.
hiss!
Zhao Muyun took a deep breath, and then a puff of green smoke came out of his nose, with a look of enjoyment on his face.
Everyone followed Zhao Muyun's example, lit one end of the cigarette, and then tried to take a puff.
“Cough cough cough…”
Tang Yanhai was the first to be choked and coughed repeatedly, tears almost coming out, "What...what the hell is this? It burns my throat!"
Li Si also frowned, trying hard to suppress the discomfort.
Zhao Muyun smiled and took another deep breath, slowly blowing out a smoke ring: "Don't worry, slowly get used to it. How do you feel?"
Tang Yanhai recovered and took another careful breath. This time he felt much better.
A warm current with a special fragrance entered his lungs and then spread out. His eyes lit up: "Huh? It seems... interesting! I feel refreshed all of a sudden!"
"Yeah!" Li Si also experienced that feeling. "It's a bit refreshing! The fatigue seems to have dissipated a lot at once!"
The other guards also nodded: "It is indeed a bit refreshing!"
Zhao Muyun looked at everyone's reactions and felt relieved.
