Han Yi felt the hand around her waist tightening, and couldn't help but think to herself, "Is this guy worried that I won't be able to jump off the horse and escape? At this speed, even if I don't die from the fall, I'll probably break an arm or a leg."
However, looking at the cave in front of her, Han Yiyi's heart sank. She thought to herself, could this person really be "greedy for money" and actually brought her to this deserted cave? Does he want to steal her system and then leave her life here?
Han Yiyi had initially held a sliver of hope for Nangong Yuan, believing he wasn't that kind of person. But now, looking at the cave in front of her, her heart sank deeper and deeper. So, she directly grabbed the stun gun from her spatial storage.
Just as he was about to turn to the person behind him, he saw Nangong Yuan kneeling down on one knee in front of him.
Han Yiyi was somewhat bewildered by Nangong Yuan's actions, not understanding what he was up to by suddenly bringing her to this strange place. Could it be that he was proposing to her?
Looking at the serious and dashing man in front of her, Han Yiyi was indeed somewhat tempted.
However, she has no plans to get married now. Isn't the life of having a child, money, and no need to serve a man appealing? Besides, she can't stand the men here who always have multiple wives and concubines. Even that penniless scumbag Fan wants to have wives and concubines, let alone the high and mighty general in front of her.
However, not getting married doesn't mean you can't date. If you could have a sweet romance with such a handsome and valiant general, that would be quite nice...
Nangong Yuan had no idea that his simple action had prompted the young woman opposite him to think so much. He knew that his request might have been a bit excessive, especially since she was his savior, and he had not only failed to repay her, but now...
But for the sake of the people of Yanlang City and the warriors who fought bravely against the enemy, Nangong Yuan did not hesitate and spoke directly.
"Please, Miss Yi, save the soldiers on the border and the people of Yanlang City..."
Han Yiyi was still thinking about how she should refuse if the person opposite her asked her to marry him, when she heard Nangong Yuan ask her to save the people of Yanlang City. Thinking she had misheard, she subconsciously asked.
"What did you say……".
“I know that you possess extraordinary abilities, and the grain in the granary was produced by you. I am very grateful for your help. However, that grain is just a drop in the ocean for the Beichen soldiers. The grain from the capital will not arrive for at least half a month. Therefore, could you please help the soldiers one more time? It doesn’t have to be much, just enough to ensure that the grain from the capital is delivered…”
On one hand, Ye Yi and his group were sent to search for the batch of grain supplies belonging to the Ministry of Revenue. On the other hand, a letter was sent to the Nangong family, asking them to spread the news of the hidden grain supplies in the capital, forcing the Ministry of Revenue, or rather the current authorities in the capital, to prepare grain supplies again. However, in any case, it would take at least half a month for the grain supplies to reach the border.
Upon hearing Nangong Yuan's words, Han Yiyi realized that she had misunderstood, and a hint of unease flashed across her face.
Upon hearing Nangong Yuan ask him to bring out more grain, he frowned. He had used up all the points in the system to exchange for that grain, so he was now powerless to do so.
“That’s me…”
Nangong Yuan thought Han Yiyi was worried that things would be exposed, so he interrupted her before she could finish speaking.
"Don't worry, young lady. I, Nangong Yuan, swear that I will never reveal a word about this. As long as you put the grain in this cave and say that it was left by the bandits, no one will suspect anything..." He paused for a moment, then continued, "And don't worry about the grain in the granary either. I will find a good reason..."
Only then did Han Yiyi realize why Nangong Yuan had brought her to this desolate mountain cave. However, she also acknowledged Nangong Yuan's character in her heart, at least he wasn't "greedy for money."
She had no choice but to give her more grain, as she didn't have a single point left in her system.
Besides, given the system's stingy nature, it would never marry her, but Han Yiyi still asked anyway.
“Little Flower…”
"Nothing more..."
As soon as Han Yiyi uttered the system's name in her mind, she heard two emotionless words ring in her ears. Han Yiyi thought to herself, "Just as I expected."
Seeing that the person opposite him not only didn't speak after he finished speaking, but also looked troubled, Nangong Yuan's heart couldn't help but clench, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Young lady, is there something troubling you...?"
Seeing the hope in the eyes of the person opposite him, Han Yi thought to himself, since he already knew, there was no point in hiding it, so he spoke directly.
"Well, it's not that I don't want to take it out, it's just that I have no other choice..."
Before Nangong Yuan could speak, Han Yiyi spoke again.
“I only got this thing by chance. However, to get the contents out, I need to exchange something for it. The grain in the granary was exchanged for the jade pendant you gave me in Zhushan Village. Now I don’t have anything to exchange for it, so I have no way to…”
When Nangong Yuan heard Han Yi say that she had no other choice, her eyes darkened. But when she heard what Han Yi said next, her eyes suddenly lit up again, and she couldn't help but ask.
"You mean, as long as there's something to exchange, it's fine. A jade pendant can be exchanged for tens of thousands of kilograms of grain, right...?"
Looking into Nangong Yuanliang's bright eyes, Han Yi nodded subconsciously.
"What do you need to exchange for those? Is it only possible to use jade pendants...?"
Hearing Nangong Yuan's question, Han Yiyi was a little confused, because the system would only remind her how many points she could exchange for items after she had already received them.
But if you ask her what specific items can be exchanged, it seems that as of now, the only things she knows of are mushrooms, fish, jade pendants, and ginseng...
Han Yiyi was still thinking about what she could exchange with the system when she heard the familiar mechanical voice in her ear again, and this voice seemed to be a little impatient.
"Jade, porcelain, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, all of these are acceptable, all of these are acceptable..."
Upon hearing the system's voice, Han Yi thought to herself, "Sure enough, this thing won't do anything that doesn't make money."
Upon hearing what he needed, Nangong Yuan's eyes lit up even more. Although he didn't have these things on him right now, he could buy them.
"Okay, sure, sure, we'll go buy it now..."
When Han Yi saw Nangong Yuan's excitement, she assumed he had the money to buy these things. However, when she arrived at the porcelain and jewelry shops, she realized that she was the one who paid for them.
