"Okay, there's still time."
Old Master Chu's eyes flashed coldly, his face showing unwavering resolve.
We must win this battle, even if it costs us our lives.
Qiao Lian'er stayed here for two days. The herbal medicine shop was thriving and had stabilized. Many more bosses came to wholesale herbal medicine.
Some wholesalers have moved their products elsewhere instead of competing here, which gives them a competitive edge.
By now, money is no longer the main issue in Qiao Lian'er's life. If she continues like this, she will eventually become one of the most well-known wealthy businessmen in Daze Kingdom.
The most important thing right now is survival, and how to preserve her achievements and her property.
Before Qiao Lian'er left, rumors of discord between Old Master Chu and Prefect Wei had already begun to circulate among the people.
It is said that the two even got into an argument at the government office and almost came to blows.
Currently, there's a strong indication that they'll never see each other again, leading many to speculate that their feud is now permanent.
People felt sorry for him. The Wei family had been helping him wholeheartedly in his search for his daughter, spending a lot of money on it, which even delayed their son's marriage.
Unexpectedly, now that Chu's daughter and granddaughter have returned, the two sides have completely broken off relations.
So everyone came to the conclusion that the Chu family was ungrateful and had abandoned the Wei family after using them.
Of course, gossip aside, it didn't affect the Chu family's business. They mainly dealt in wholesale, and other herbal medicine shop owners and managers would be fools not to make money.
Retail customers remained enthusiastic; these medicinal herbs are very beneficial to health, so who could resist buying them?
On the way back, Qiao Lian'er did not ride at full speed, but leisurely enjoyed the scenery along the way.
Spring is already halfway over, and the mountains and fields are covered with tender yellow and green new leaves. Wildflowers stretch along the roadside, blooming freely and brightly, making even the air more fragrant.
Ten days later, the troops from the capital arrived in Yuezhou City.
All those who came were important figures, and Lord Tu personally led several officials to welcome them and held a banquet to celebrate their arrival.
General Xu and General Lu, as military commanders, frequently led armies into battle. Their imposing presence was awe-inspiring, and their serious demeanor suggested they were only concerned with reason and principle.
Qiao Yuan and Qin Ren silently observed the officials. These local officials were all rather obsequious and cautious, afraid of offending anyone.
Those who came together included General Xu and General Lu, who were neutral, and Qiao Yuan and Qin Ren, who held important positions and were key figures in the prestigious Qiao family of the capital. In comparison, Yu Jianshan's position was lower and less conspicuous.
Therefore, Qiao Yuan and Qin Ren were quite confident in winning over these officials.
The Pei family really miscalculated. So what if Yu Jianshan has influence with the Emperor? Did they really think they could defeat them?
"We've traveled thousands of miles to deliver a reward to a young girl," Qiao Yuan said, holding up the cup in his hand.
"Young lady, what abilities could you possibly possess that would warrant the imperial court sending such extraordinary individuals as you here personally?" Lord Tu said respectfully.
"This girl is indeed no ordinary person. A very important reason why the Great Swamp Kingdom achieved a great victory against the Northern Tribal Alliance this time was that this girl produced a useful array diagram, which greatly accelerated the process of victory."
Wei, the Prefect, asked, "Where is she from? And what is her name?"
Qin Rendao: "Ning County, Qingshui Town, Datian Village, Qiao Lian'er."
"It's her?" Wei Biejia seemed to blurt it out unconsciously, surprised and somewhat displeased.
