Qiao Lian'er was standing in front of a shop, looking it over. The shop was located in the middle of the main street, but the owner was not good at business, so business was slow. She had been watching it for a long time.
Unlike others who were overjoyed to see Qiao Lian'er as if he were one of the Fuwa mascots, this boss was very wary.
Because he knew that Qiao Lian'er wanted to take over his shop.
So he pretended not to see anyone.
"Miss Qiao." A voice came from behind.
Qiao Lian'er turned her head and saw Shi Nanfu. He was wearing a black fox fur cloak with white fur collar fluttering slightly in the wind, which made his eyes look even bluer and his skin as white as snow.
Generally speaking, Shi Nanfu is just going through the motions and rarely bothers her.
For minor matters, she would send someone to discuss and relay messages to her.
When he comes to her in person, it's usually for something important.
“Lord Shi.” Qiao Lian’er nodded in acknowledgment.
"Let's talk in the teahouse. I've already asked the owner to prepare tea and snacks."
Shi Nanfu gestured to a nearby teahouse.
Inside the private room, the steam rose from the tea, filling the air with a delicate fragrance, and several exquisite pastries were laid out.
"The letter I'm writing to you now will go directly to me." Shi Nanfu took a letter out of his sleeve and handed it to Qiao Lian'er.
Compared to the county government, the Pei family certainly trusted him more.
Qiao Lian'er opened the letter and her eyes flashed with a light.
The war in the north has lasted for four months. After round after round of fierce battles, Dazeguo finally gained an overwhelming advantage half a month ago. In the past half month, it has been unstoppable, defeating the enemy without any ability to resist. Victory is basically a foregone conclusion.
Currently, the Horde Alliance still has some remnants stubbornly resisting and barely surviving. Once these clean-up tasks are completed, the other side will be powerless to retaliate, and then negotiations can begin.
Fang Hong gave her formations to several generals. At first, they were not familiar with using them, which led to setbacks. Some generals suggested abandoning these formations, but two generals insisted on keeping them and practiced them in actual combat. They then used them in small-scale battlefields, where they proved effective, and later in large-scale battles.
This led to a series of victories, ultimately resulting in an overwhelming advantage.
The letter said that once the armistice agreement was signed, her contribution would be reported.
Compared to his previous composure, Pei Zhujin's words this time were relaxed, and there was a sense of appreciation between the lines.
"Lord Shi, Young Master Pei says that our Great Ze Kingdom is about to win the battle."
Qiao Lian'er smiled and carefully put the letter away.
She was in a good mood.
Although it was gloomy outside and a cold wind blew from time to time, after winter, spring would come, and all things would revive and come alive.
“That’s right. I knew about this half a month ago when we gained the upper hand. But Young Master Pei instructed me to tell you this good news in person.”
Shi Nanfu gave her a thumbs up: "The army of Daze Kingdom is brave, and your formation played a key role. Miss Qiao, you are truly remarkable."
"Come, let me toast you and wish you good luck." Shi Nanfu raised his glass.
Qiao Lian'er clinked glasses with him and took a big gulp of tea.
She looked outside and saw people coming and going on the street, all ordinary people: "This great victory should at least bring a ten-year ceasefire, so we won't have to collect grain anymore."
"Actually, Miss Qiao, the reason we were able to win this time is inseparable from the sufficient supply of food and fodder. Both people and horses need to eat. Only when they are well-fed can they have the fighting power to make good use of your formation. Otherwise, it's all just empty talk."
"The only ones to blame are those who enforce the law, who do evil and chill the hearts of the people. Fortunately, your greenhouses, fertilizers, and affordable, high-quality grains have saved the people from their suffering."
Just then, he heard his men talking outside.
"Lord Shi, a constable named Wei Chi is looking for you."
