These eight short words were deafening to Li Jiangong. They were so well said; how wonderful it would be if everyone could have such awareness.
Li Jiangong glanced at the people around him, then at the cavalry under Ning Ye's command.
"My name is Li Jiangong. You only need to stay here for three days. After three days, I will return with my men, and then you can leave directly."
"My name is Ning Ye. You can rest assured, my lord. The men under my command are quite capable and will not disappoint you. So, Lord Li, you only need to focus on the border."
"Then I will trust you this once, but if we are outnumbered, we must send a distress call to the border, otherwise the loss of this place will be of great importance."
Ning Ye nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know what's important. If we can't hold the position, I will definitely inform you. I won't let you worry in the slightest."
Li Jiangong knew that having these cavalrymen guarding the area was the best possible outcome, since it was still uncertain whether they could spare any men from the border.
It's clear from the battle just now that Ning Ye and his men are not greenhorns.
After Li Jiangong and his men left, Ning Ye also set up camp on the spot. After all, there was only one mountain road, and even if the other side wanted to go around, there was nowhere to go.
Ning Ye checked and found that the rations they had brought with them were indeed finished, but there were still plenty of food and supplies hidden elsewhere, so there was no need to worry about logistics.
After this simple setup, Wang Wu found Ning Ye.
"Sir, why should we get involved in this mess? We don't need to do anything."
Seeing Wang Wu's confusion, Ning Ye smiled slightly, "You should understand the principle of 'if the lips are cold, the teeth will be gone.' If something happens at the border, Qingyuan County will be the next target. I don't want things to turn out that way."
"Sir, if we continue to hold out here, our men will inevitably suffer casualties. Is it really worth it? If we return to Qingyuan County, at least we will have the city walls to rely on. Here, there is nothing at all."
"In any war, people will die. I have never thought that my men cannot die, but I hope that you can die in a more meaningful way."
Wang Wu was a little confused. He felt that there was no benefit to this matter, so why did Ning Ye insist on doing it?
An old soldier who once fought for the imperial court but was abandoned, now instinctively resists and fights for his country again.
But if it's Ning Ye's order, he will carry it out without hesitation, because he believes that Ning Ye would never abandon them.
The convoy carrying supplies finally arrived at the border. Since the project was a war of attrition, the supplies for defending the city were also very important. With the addition of these supplies, Li Ruochen's confidence increased even more.
That evening, Li Ruochen treated the soldiers who had transported the supplies to a meal, at least giving each of them a bowl of wine. In such a situation, this treatment was extremely rare.
However, these soldiers did not leave after delivering the supplies; instead, they stayed behind to help Li Ruochen defend the city.
This situation still puzzled Li Ruochen somewhat, since according to past practice, they had to return to the place after delivering the goods.
However, since there was a shortage of manpower, Li Ruochen didn't think too much about it and simply assumed that they had all been arranged. After all, the entire convoy still had several hundred soldiers, which was like sending charcoal in snowy weather.
Lin Qinshu is managing her shop in Qingyuan County. After a period of operation, the soap business has basically leveled off.
Before leaving, Ning Ye posed a difficult question to Lin Qinshu, wondering where her husband had gotten so many unpalatable books.
Yes, that's right. Ning Ye wasn't joking before. He wanted to make a good profit from this "Golden Lotus". As for how to sell it, that was up to Lin Qinshu, since Lin Qinshu was in charge of the business.
Seeing her young mistress's troubled expression, Xiao Yuan suggested, "Miss, we definitely can't sell this book ourselves, otherwise your reputation will be completely ruined. But we can find someone to help us."
Lin Qinshu tapped her fingers lightly on the table. "Of course I know that it would be best to find someone to help sell them, but who should I ask?"
Xiaoqing, who was tidying up the shelves, suddenly spoke up, "Miss, I remember an old man came to us with a little girl before, didn't he? That old man was a storyteller, so it might be good to leave this matter to him."
Lin Qinshu's eyes lit up. "You're right. The old man is out telling stories all day long, so he must have a lot of customers. It'll be easy to find a market for his products."
Xiao Yuan said timidly, "Miss, the old man would probably care more about his reputation. Do you think he would agree to what we're doing?"
Lin Qinshu said confidently, "At worst, we can just give them more money. The old man is definitely short of money taking care of this child, so this might work out."
Now that the candidates had been chosen, Lin Qinshu wasn't one to ramble on. She went straight to the largest restaurant in Qingyuan County. After all, when Ning Ye introduced them, Lin Qinshu had taken it very seriously and immediately recommended this place to them.
No matter what, working in a big restaurant still offers some security, and now the father and son are living a life free from worries about food and clothing.
When Lin Qinshu arrived, the old man was telling stories upstairs. He only came down after a while.
Old Man Bai bowed respectfully. "Madam, what brings you here? Is there something you need?"
The little girl beside the old man was named Bai Ling, and she was also following closely behind.
"You don't need to be so polite. I've come here to ask you for a favor, but if you find it difficult, you can refuse me directly, and I'll find someone else."
Old Man Bai quickly said, "Miss Lin, I have never forgotten the great kindness you and Young Master Ning have shown me. Please feel free to ask if you need anything."
Lin Qinshu blushed slightly and whispered her purpose for coming.
Old Man Bai didn't care much. He had already lived to this age and had long since let go of some things.
"So that's what it is. I wonder what plans Miss Lin has? If you have a shop, I'm willing to give up storytelling and run a shop myself. If not, I'll look for buyers among my customers."
Lin Qinshu thought for a moment and said, "You should take a look at finding buyers first. If it sells well, I will consider opening a shop, and I will definitely let you, Grandpa, be the manager."
