Chapter 108 She Wants to Find a Way to Make a Merit
Zhao Jingheng picked up the sword that was knocked down by Song Yunchu, and Chu Yuni also borrowed a sword from a soldier nearby.
The two men started fighting under the gaze of everyone, and Song Yunchu stood leisurely at the edge of the parade ground and watched the show.
She had just experienced Zhao Jingheng's skills. According to her judgment, the difference in strength between Chu Yuni and Zhao Jingheng was not that big, so it was hard to say who would win or lose.
Anyway, it would be no problem for these two to exchange a hundred or eighty moves. Chu Yuni only needed to prove to the young general opposite that he was quite capable.
And things developed just as Song Yunchu had expected. The two men fought for a long time without a clear winner.
"It's really extraordinary that Agent Chu could fight the boss for so long."
"Who do you think will win?"
"It's hard to say. Let's wait and see."
Song Yunchu listened to the discussions of the people behind him. Although his face remained calm, he was in a very happy mood.
Strength is everything in a competition arena. This group of people changed their opinion of Chu Yuni in less than half a day. They must have felt a little ashamed when thinking about it afterwards.
Let’s see if they dare to look down on others easily in the future.
After a long time——
The two men in the arena were finally tired of fighting.
"Alright, alright, no more. I've been active for too long today. If I continue, I'll get cramps..."
Chu Yuni thrust the sword into the ground to support her tired body.
I was so engrossed in the exercise just now that I didn't feel anything, and now that I stopped, the muscles in my buttocks started to ache again.
hiss……
He swore that he would never make mistakes in the palace again! The pain of being beaten with a stick was enough to make him cry.
Zhao Jingheng's situation was not much better. His legs were already sore and he was panting with sweat all over his forehead. "Okay, let's stop here today and continue another day. I have to decide the winner with you."
Chu Yuni said: "Then let's wait until we both recover."
"Okay." Zhao Jingheng agreed readily, and then dragged his long sword and slowly walked in front of Chu Yuni, "Lord Song is right, I think too highly of myself. Everyone has their own strengths. I hope Agent Chu will forgive my previous mistakes."
Seeing that the other party sincerely admitted his mistake, Chu Yuni also stopped while she was ahead, "Captain Zhao, you are too kind. My hidden weapon was indeed thrown very badly. I need to practice more in the future. When I become proficient in it in the future, I will come back to ask for your guidance."
He is in such a good mood right now.
With the support of Lord Song and his own ability, he made a sixth-rank general admit his mistake, and no one would say he was incompetent anymore.
Because of his relationship with Gong Mingyuan, there were always people who disliked him and mocked him openly or secretly.
If anyone makes fun of him again in the future for being a fool who got into the palace through connections, the young master of the Zhao family will always be able to say a few words for him, right?
"Well, you have stretched your muscles enough today. I will allow you to go back and have a good rest."
Song Yunchu's voice sounded at the side, "Let's go, don't delay the soldiers' training here."
Chu Yuni responded yes and followed Song Yunchu's pace.
As Song Yunchu was walking, he heard Zhao Jingheng's voice behind him -
"Master Song, thank you for your encouragement today."
Song Yunchu smiled without saying anything and left the martial arts training ground with Chu Yuni.
…
On the second day, after the court session, Song Yunchu still did not receive any notice from Jun Liluo asking her to go to the imperial study to assist in government affairs.
Song Yunchu couldn't help but grit his teeth.
I haven't stepped into the imperial study for two days, and I feel a little uncomfortable.
She was really curious about what was written in the memorials on the imperial desk. Although she could roughly guess that the memorials impeaching officials must include her, Gong Mingyuan and others, she always felt uncomfortable because she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.
She was not afraid of being reported before, and she always treated those letters of complaint as fun.
Now the fact that the fun is gone is secondary. What she cannot accept the most is the loss of power.
The dog emperor probably still resented her for committing a crime when she was drunk? Even though he knew she was not sober at the time, he pretended to be fine afterwards, but he still couldn't get over it in his heart.
It makes sense if you think about it carefully. As the emperor, he must attach great importance to his dignity.
She couldn't go on like this... If she couldn't get into the imperial study, she would have to find a way to gain merit elsewhere.
The dog emperor has always been clear about rewards and punishments, and never treats ministers who have made contributions to the court unfairly. If she has made achievements, he will have to reward her well in front of everyone and let her maintain her former glory.
She suddenly thought of something and immediately told Bai Zhu, "Go to Ruihe Hall."
During the court meetings over the past two days, some officials pointed out that there was a plague in a county not far from the imperial city, in which dozens of people had died and more than a hundred were still sick.
The local government is trying its best to control the epidemic, and it has not spread yet, but the situation has not improved.
It would be a great achievement if this problem could be solved, and she needs a helper who can get it done.
…
"Your head wind is an old problem that you have had for many years. It cannot be cured in a short time. This herbal medicine is enough for one month. You can boil a pack and drink it every two days. If you feel it is effective, come back to buy more after one month."
In Ruihe Hall, Jiang Rumin had just finished taking medicine for a guest when he heard Shaoyao's voice beside him, "Master Song?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Rumin looked outside Ruihe Hall and saw Song Yunchu getting off the carriage and walking towards her.
Jiang Rumin hurriedly asked Shaoyao to make tea.
The last time she wanted to invite Song Yunchu to dinner, she failed because she said some self-abasement words that made Song Yunchu unhappy. When she saw Song Yunchu again today, she secretly reminded herself -
This time, we must not let Lord Song get angry and run away again.
Song Yunchu walked to the counter and greeted her first, "Ms. Jiang, how is your business these days?"
"Not bad." Jiang Rumin smiled. "Although there are not many patients recently, we have sold a lot of precious medicinal materials and medicinal liquors. The profit from these things is enough for us to have a rich meal every time."
Song Yunchu said: "That's indeed good."
"A big customer came to me a few days ago and said that his family members became much healthier after drinking the medicinal wine I brewed. He wanted to buy a large amount of the medicinal wine to make medicinal food for sale. He wanted at least 50 jars a month."
"If this customer didn't run away, I could save more than twenty taels of silver every month just from the medicinal wine. Mr. Chu only charged me eighty taels for this piece of land, and I still owe him three hundred and twenty taels. I can pay it back in a year and a half at most."
Song Yunchu listened to Jiang Rumin's explanation of her repayment plan and smiled faintly, "Maybe it won't take a year and a half. I know a way to make money quickly. It depends on whether Miss Jiang is willing to try it."
Jiang Rumin was a little curious when he heard this, "What method?"
Song Yunchu said, "There is a plague in Taihe County, thirty miles away from the imperial city. Many people have been affected. The court has sent people down, but no effective treatment has been found so far."
"Miss Jiang, this matter is risky, but if it can be resolved, the benefits will be considerable. The reward from the court is a considerable sum. Not only can you pay off your debts in one go, but you can also use this opportunity to become famous."
