Chapter 186: Wen Ruyue fights again
Wen Ruyue and Situ Ming didn't mention it explicitly, but miraculously they reached a common goal.
Situ Ming asked, "What does the Crown Prince's wife plan to do with all this food?"
Wen Ruyue asked him sincerely, "Mr. Situ, do you have any ideas to help me recover my losses?"
Situ Ming pondered for a moment before saying, "The grain has sprouted and moldy, and there's nothing we can do about it. It's better to deal with it nearby and recover some of the losses."
"Sir, how do you plan to deal with this?" Wen Ruyue had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Sell it to the grain merchants nearby at a low price."
"No!" Wen Ruyue stood up excitedly, her voice rising several degrees.
Situ Ming looked at her in surprise.
Wen Ruyue took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and forced an awkward smile: "Mr. Situ, don't get me wrong, I invested too much this time, almost half of my dowry.
This is not a disaster area and there is no shortage of food.
Moldy grain will definitely not sell for a good price, and I will definitely lose a lot of money.
I'm not willing to give up like this, I want to give it another try."
Wen Ruyue walked up to Situ Ming and bowed to him: "Please help me, Mr. Situ."
"If we insist on sending the grain to Jinyang Prefecture, I'm afraid we'll suffer even greater losses. Is Madam Crown Prince determined to do this?"
Wen Ruyue's eyes turned fierce: "I won't give up unless I give it a try."
"In that case, I will respectfully obey your command."
Wen Ruyue said, "I believe in Mr. Situ's ability."
The corners of Situ Ming's mouth curled up, revealing an ambiguous smile.
At the same time, in the woods not far from the inn.
After Wen Yan and his group met up with Uncle Lin and Uncle Tian, they also discussed this matter.
"Their grain has sprouted and moldy. Are they still willing to transport the grain to Jinyang Prefecture?" Uncle Lin said worriedly.
Uncle Tian also said, "If they sell it here, wouldn't our efforts be in vain?"
Wen Yan had already told them that this batch of grain had to be sent to Jinyang Prefecture at a low price.
"This place is more than a thousand miles away from the disaster area. Do we have to buy all the food and transport it there ourselves?
Not to mention anything else,
Just the cost of transporting the grain and the escort convoy alone is a headache for us."
They discussed for a while without any result, and finally they all looked at Wen Yan.
Wen Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, they will not take action until the grain is transported to Jinyang Prefecture."
"How can you be sure?" asked Uncle Tian.
Wen Yan smiled and said, “Based on my understanding of Wen Ruyue.
This time, she invested almost all her dowry in the grain resale.
She won’t let herself lose everything.”
"We should just hold our ground for now."
Seeing that she spoke so confidently, Uncle Tian and Uncle Lin believed her and did not ask any more questions.
After everyone had a rest, Wen Yan asked Pei'er to dye Wu Yunzi's hair.
Dye his hair several times until it is black.
Wen Yan climbed up a big tree and sat on a branch to look at the post station on the mountainside.
The big tree shook, and Uncle Lin and Uncle Tian also climbed up the tree and sat on the other side of the branch.
Uncle Lin said, "Actually, you don't have to make this trip yourself."
Wen Yan said, "I followed Wen Ruyue here. She brought a very powerful person with her this time. I was worried that you would suffer at his hands, so I followed her to check on you."
"You told us in your letter that we will proceed with caution."
"That's right. If you really can't do it, just go for it. Watch me smash his head with a few punches." Uncle Tian waved his huge fist.
It seemed as if one punch could penetrate Situ Ming's head.
Wen Yan said seriously, "I'm not joking with you, but this person is truly dangerous. We must not be careless."
You can find another man if you lose him, but Uncle Lin and Uncle Tian must not be in any danger.
Wen Yan still dares not recall the scene where Uncle Lin, Aunt Shuang and others were hacked to death in order to protect themselves.
Finally got a chance to start over.
No matter what, she would not let them end up like they did in their previous life.
Seeing the atmosphere was a little awkward,
Uncle Lin quickly changed the subject: "This time it's all thanks to the things that the young lady prepared in advance.
They were just about out of the rain range.”
The road collapsed due to gunpowder explosion, trapping the grain transport team here.
The medicine powder was mixed with rainwater and sprinkled on the grains, causing the grains to heat up and then emit a musty smell.
Without any of these things, their trip would not have gone so smoothly.
Wen Ruyue's grain was dried in just a few days.
Afterwards, they continued on their journey to Jinyang Prefecture as Wen Yan had expected.
Wen Yan and the others followed quietly behind.
This time,
Wen Yan and Pei'er changed back into women's clothes, but dressed like children of the underworld.
Wen Yan and Uncle Lin are a group of swordsmen from the martial arts world.
Pei'er and the black-haired Wu Yunzi pretended to be a wealthy father and daughter.
Wen Yan and his friends rescued the father and daughter on the road.
The rich man hired them for protection at a large sum of money.
Not only did Wu Yunzi dye his hair black, but he also dyed his skin a little yellow, making him look no different from an ordinary person.
Wu Yunzi's whereabouts are mysterious to begin with, and now he has changed his appearance. If you don't spend every day with him, you won't be able to recognize him at all.
Wu Yunzi likes his new skin very much and looks in the mirror several times every day.
Then they hung behind them not too far away.
Wen Ruyue was probably eager to turn the tables.
This time they traveled much faster, so much so that Pearl was a little uncomfortable with it.
He also complained to Wen Yan: "Wen Ruyue is like a completely different person."
Two days later, they left Cangzhou and entered Jinyang Prefecture.
After crossing the border, the road becomes less peaceful.
They camped in the wild the night before.
Smells like the moon,
In the evening, the accompanying cook would prepare stir-fried vegetables, pigeon and ginseng soup, and roasted rabbit meat for her.
The cook looked embarrassed: "Neither the pigeon nor the rabbit meat is fresh."
The escort standing guard nearby reminded her: "This is a drought-stricken area, and many people are starving to death.
You asked the cook to prepare such delicious food, and it attracted them here. What if they had bad intentions? What should we do?"
"Aren't you guys still here?
I paid you to come here, but not only did you fail to protect my food, now you can't even protect my people?
As for rabbits and pigeons, won't you catch them?"
The escort's face flushed red.
They are also jointly responsible for the food being soaked in water.
Upon seeing this, the escort leader hurried over to smooth things over and arranged for people to go to the mountains to look for prey.
After an hour, they finally brought back a hare.
But the pigeon was not caught.
Wen Ruyue was very dissatisfied because the pigeon and ginseng soup was missing.
She specially asked someone to send one dish and one soup to Situ Ming.
Just as Wen Ruyue was enjoying her meal, a rustling sound came from the grass not far away.
In the bushes, several blurry heads were moving.
It was also accompanied by the sound of swallowing saliva.
After dinner, the escorts and the Huo family guards took turns to keep watch.
The sky is full of stars and everything is silent.
Time slips away unknowingly.
It was the darkest and quietest moment before dawn, when everyone was exhausted.
The head in the grass moved quietly.
They crawled, little by little, closer to Wen Ruyue's team.
