Chapter 370 Nine Lives Are Not Enough
Guo Sheng's words not only made Guo Sheng reflect, but also made everyone in the Anbu start to think seriously. The master did help the Xiao family a lot, but as for the salt business and the money earned from this part, they knew it better than others!
As long as salt is shipped over, buyers always ask for more and more!
There is no better salt on the market than the Xiao family's salt. Even the government's salt is not as good as it.
And just now, Miss Xiao didn't fear for her own life and rushed towards the sick master. Just for this reason, everyone looked at Xiao Jiuyue with admiration in their eyes!
When the master is sick, he is like a raging tiger. No one in the secret department dares to get close to him. But Miss Xiao, who is so weak, dares to go forward and hug the master. This courage alone is probably something that many girls would not dare to have, right?
"Miss Xiao, I was really wrong." Guo Sheng's words and eyes were becoming more sincere as he admitted his mistake. He recalled what he had said before and added, "You and my prince, that's a win-win situation!
"In the future, I look forward to cooperating with His Majesty the Third Prince to bring in more profits."
Xiao Jiuyue chuckled. After she left, Guo Sheng looked at Guo Yang eagerly and said, "Brother, can I not go to the Cliff of Repentance? Otherwise, fifty strokes of the cane in exchange for one hundred will be fine!"
As long as you don’t go to the Cliff of Repentance, it’s okay even if you get beaten a hundred times!
"Hmph, if I knew, do you think a month in the cliff of reflection would be enough?" Guo Yang kicked him and looked at him with eyes that seemed to say: How could I have such a stupid brother like you?
"I know that you always thought that I treated Miss Xiao differently because of her beauty. But you don't have to use your big brain to think about it. Looking across the whole Shengjing, isn't there anyone more beautiful than Miss Xiao? Do I only look at beauty?" Guo Yang looked at Guo Sheng. If this man was not his biological brother, he would have given up on him long ago.
"It seems, but not." Guo Sheng shook his head and said, "The lady Feng that His Majesty wanted to marry me to was said to be as beautiful as a fairy, but I didn't even look at her."
"That's right, use your brain to think about it carefully." Guo Yang patted Guo Sheng's shoulder, wishing he could put the idea directly into his head. He stood up and cheered up the people in the Anbu, asking them to transport the last load of iron out.
"After we go back, I'll give everyone more braised pork and extra monthly wages!" Guo Yang's words made everyone in the Anbu particularly happy. It was true that they were orphans, but they also wanted to earn money and eat braised pork!
Guo Yang walked quickly to the edge of the pond. Jun Lie, who was soaking in the water, kept looking in the direction where Xiao Jiuyue and the others had left. He stepped forward and said, "Master, everything has been arranged. Miss Xiao will definitely be able to return to Donglin County safely, and eventually return to Hongdu!"
"Yeah." Jun Lie responded. Xiao Jiuyue's figure had long since disappeared. He lowered his eyes and said, "The account book Jiuyue brought must be kept well. When we get to Shengjing, I will never let Jiuyue down!"
"Yes, Master, rest assured. I will keep it in perfect condition!" Guo Yang promised, and then told Guo Sheng what had just happened. Guo Yang said, "Master, although a month in the Cliff of Repentance is a bit too much, but Guo Sheng served me in the past, and this matter cannot be tolerated!"
Guo Yang's heart was pounding. Who made him have such a stupid brother like Guo Sheng? It was better to lose a layer of skin on the cliff of remorse for a month than to lose his life in the future.
…
"What is the Cliff of Repentance?" Xiao Jiuyue asked.
Hua Qing shook her head, and Luo Kui shook his head even more. Finally, Xiao Jiuyue's gaze fell on Dong Gui. Dong Gui said, "The Third Prince has taken in some orphans and trained them to do some work."
"Your Highness the Third Prince is a prince, he still needs to be able to protect himself." Hua Qing nodded in agreement.
Luo Kui said, "Shouldn't the prince have private guards? I just don't know how many there are!"
"There are definitely guards out in the open, but, Your Highness..." Dong Gui paused, then continued, "Although the Crown Prince's biological mother has passed away, he still has the Prime Minister to plan for him. The Second Prince has a concubine, but Your Highness has grown up in the cold palace. It's been very difficult for Your Highness."
"Then tell me quickly, this Siguo Cliff should be a very scary place, right? It should be scarier than kneeling in the ancestral hall?" Luo Kui asked anxiously.
Dong Gui: "What's so scary about kneeling in the ancestral hall? The people imprisoned in the Cliff of Repentance are those who have martial arts skills but have violated His Highness's bottom line. There, if you don't use all your strength, nine lives may not be enough!"
"It's so dangerous!" Luo Kui exclaimed, her mouth almost opened wider than an egg. She said anxiously: "Miss, this, this, although Guo Sheng can't speak, but, but he won't die!"
"He, he saved me!" Luo Kui could hardly move. She looked at Xiao Jiuyue eagerly, and the worry in her eyes could not be concealed.
"Alas." Xiao Jiuyue sighed and looked at Luo Kui and said, "After fifty blows, his skin is torn and his flesh is exposed. If he goes to the Cliff of Repentance again, I'm afraid he won't be able to withstand it."
"Yes, miss, he is not good at speaking. He is blind and fails to see your good points. Miss, he..." Luo Kui hesitated to speak and finally sighed.
"Luo Kui, I don't have much status. After all, Guo Sheng is the Third Prince's man. It's not easy for me, an outsider, to manage him. But if it's Guo Sheng's wife's family, we can still talk to them." Xiao Jiuyue said meaningfully.
"My wife's family? Who is Madam Guo Sheng?"
Luo Kui looked around with a puzzled look on her face, her eyes falling on Hua Qing and Dong Gui. She seemed to be wondering: Who is Madam Guo Sheng?
Dong Gui almost choked on her saliva. Hua Qing said directly, "What the young lady means is that if you were Guo Sheng's wife, the young lady would definitely be willing to help you open this door."
"No, I'm not!" Luo Kui was anxious, his face flushed and his neck thick.
Xiao Jiuyue couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, Guo Yang is his biological brother, he will never watch him die!" Physical pain is inevitable!
"Miss!" Luo Kui realized that his worries were in vain. He was anxious, embarrassed and angry, and he lowered his head to hurry on his way.
"Luo Kui, don't you think about it? How could the eldest lady take someone's life so easily?" Hua Qing smiled with eyes shining.
Soon, when Xiao Jiuyue and the others passed by the top of the mountain, they saw flames rising to the sky in the Eighteen Villages and the bandits being captured one by one. Yu Ge said, "Miss, this is great. All the bandits have been captured, and the people who were caught by the bandits can also go home."
go home……
Xiao Jiuyue's lips curled slightly. No matter what, without the bandits from the Eighteen Villages, the people of Donglin County should be able to live a better life, right?
The sky gradually brightened. Before reaching Donglin County, Xiao Jiuyue saw Luo Changsheng returning home while riding in a carriage.
"Changsheng, that girl is really amazing. She really brought you back!"
"Changsheng, mother made you stew, you love it the most!"
The Luo family's happy voices, Xiao Jiuyue's thoughts also drifted back to Fu'an Village. Beautiful mother must be crying again, right? Silly brother must be eager to tell her what books he has read and how his handwriting has improved!
