The remaining few people all smiled embarrassedly with their heads down.
Li Huailiang also felt that his soldiers seemed a bit foolish. Could pretending to be a peddler really make people stupid?
Li Huailiang raised his hand. "Alright, you guys make your own arrangements. I have something else to do, so all of you leave."
"Keep two people guarding the door and don't let anyone come and disturb me. I have something important to do."
After hearing Li Huailiang's words, several people quietly left the room.
There were two people quietly guarding the door.
Li Huailiang waited until everyone had left and closed the door.
He covered his mouth and laughed secretly.
After laughing for a while, he felt a little silly.
He quickly found paper and pen and wrote a note.
He opened the window and saw several carrier pigeons perched on the tree outside.
Then he rolled up the note and stuffed it into a small bamboo tube.
After he carefully tied the bamboo tube to the pigeon's feet and watched the pigeon fly away, he breathed a deep breath.
Things are about to change in Qingfeng Village.
Until now, Li Huailiang still feels a little unbelievable.
However, no matter what, the result is good. Now we just have to wait for the reply from the eldest prince.
Time does not tolerate anyone, and it soon comes to night.
There was silence in the eldest prince's military tent.
Suddenly, the soldier at the door shouted, "Prince, the military advisor wishes to see you."
"Let him in." The eldest prince's voice came out clearly.
The military advisor quickly entered the military tent.
"This subordinate greets the Grand Prince."
"Military Advisor, please excuse me. Military Advisor, are you coming here now? Is there any movement from the enemy side?"
The military advisor looked at the eldest prince, who was reading a map with his back to him, and said, "Your Highness, there's news from Li Huailiang in Shilin Town. Feihe sent a letter today."
"Show me now."
The eldest prince turned around and said anxiously.
The military advisor handed the small bamboo tube taken from the carrier pigeon to the eldest prince.
The eldest prince opened the bamboo tube swiftly and took out the note inside.
When the eldest prince finished reading the note, he burst into huge laughter.
The military advisor was a little confused, "Prince, is there any good news?"
The eldest prince is usually serious, and it is very rare to see him laughing as loudly as he is now.
The eldest prince handed the note to the military advisor, "Military advisor, please take a look at it yourself."
The military advisor took the note in confusion, and saw that it said, "The young master has been found in Shilin Town."
The military advisor didn't believe it and looked again. The young master was indeed found in Shilin Town.
Then, the military advisor looked at the eldest prince excitedly, "Congratulations, eldest prince, for finding the young master. I didn't expect that the people we sent out couldn't find the young master after searching for so long."
"The young master has even arrived in Shilin Town. The young master is truly amazing."
The eldest prince smiled until his face flushed, "Thank you for the compliment, military advisor."
"It is true that the young master is clever. I have previously speculated that he would definitely go south."
"However, I didn't expect that the young master would go further than we imagined."
The eldest prince also sighed, "Yes, it was indeed unexpected."
The military advisor suddenly remembered, "Grand Prince, Qingfeng Village is right there, blocking the young master's way south."
"Then let's flatten Qingfeng Village. Didn't we hear earlier that the bandits in Qingfeng Village were soldiers sent by my second brother in disguise?"
"If Qingfeng Village is leveled, the road to the south will be open. More refugees will come. It will be a good thing for us."
"Grand Prince, is the young master with Li Huailiang now? Should we ask Li Huailiang to send someone to bring the young master back first?"
The eldest prince was silent for a moment, "They probably aren't together."
"Now I guess that even if Li Huailiang wants to send Zirui back, he probably can't avoid Qingfeng Village."
"Write back to Li Huailiang later. Don't try to send Zirui back first. Zirui has been in Shilin Town for so long without being discovered. I guess he's hiding pretty well."
"Then let Zirui continue to hide. It's better to stay still than to move. If Zirui continues to hide in Shilin Town, he won't attract attention. He'll be safest that way too."
"Tell Li Huailiang to leave Zirui alone for now. Immediately, have him find a way to kill or capture the bandits in Qingfeng Village."
"Wait until all the bandits in Qingfeng Village are wiped out before sending someone to bring Zirui back."
"I will send a letter by carrier pigeon in a moment."
The eldest prince gave another instruction, "Send someone to secretly go to the palace and tell the eldest prince's wife that Zirui has been found."
"Just let her know what's going on in her mind, and don't spread it around. And pretend like she knows nothing."
"I'll remember this."
"Also, ask Li Huailiang if he has enough people with him. If not, find a way to send him more troops."
"Okay, go down."
"I'll take my leave."
The military advisor quickly left the military tent to do what the eldest prince had ordered.
However, the big stone that was weighing on the military advisor's heart was finally removed.
I didn’t expect that the young master had been missing for so long, and the eldest prince sent so many people but couldn’t find any trace of him.
Finally, the big, dumb Li Huailiang found him in Shilin Town. This is truly a case of dumb people having dumb luck.
In Yunjia Village, Yun the Butcher and his family had just finished dinner and were chatting.
"Dad, I didn't expect that you, my eldest brother, and my second brother went to town to sell hawthorns, peaches, and persimmons, and that the sales were so successful?
Butcher Yun glanced at the curious Yun Yiyi and said, "These things were sold so quickly today. Your second brother must have done the most."
As soon as Yun the Butcher finished speaking, the few people who did not go to the town all looked at Second Brother Yun in surprise.
Brother Yun began to answer everyone’s questions.
"When we first arrived in town, Dad took us to the places where we had given watermelons last time. They all left some behind."
"Later, we were worried about where to set up our stall. It was the second brother who suggested we set up the stall in front of the inn in town."
"So, Dad drove the cart and we set up a stall in front of the inn to sell our goods."
"Speaking of which, the entrance to the inn is a really great place. People coming out of the inn will more or less buy some for themselves or give it to others."
"And once they heard our offer, they didn't bargain. But the sale is a little slow."
"Later, the second brother brought a group of peddlers over, and he gave them peaches, persimmons, and hawthorns to try."
"He also enthusiastically introduced our products. In the end, the peddlers bought up all the remaining hawthorns, peaches, and persimmons we had."
"Although the price the peddler gives us is not as high as if we sold it ourselves, we picked these things in the mountains anyway, so we didn't spend any money."
