At this moment, the man kept replaying the words of his subordinates in his mind.
"Young General, the Emperor of Nanyun and several ministers have interrogated us. It turns out that it was indeed Deputy General Yang who betrayed us and passed the information to the enemy general, which is why we are in danger."
"But that's not the worst part."
"This Vice General Yang said this on His Majesty's orders."
"Alright, this damned emperor, what are we waiting for, young general? Let's go to the capital and kill him right now."
"The emperor is a dog, but do you know whose man this Deputy General Yang is actually working for..."
The wind howled and the river was cold, but it couldn't compare to the chill in the soldiers' hearts.
After a while, the burly figure at the bow of the ship finally moved. "Sail at full speed, head straight for General Mountain!"
Five days later, at Ziyang Peak.
The spinach from more than ten acres was harvested today! Each brother can get two pounds.
In Miss Li's words, everyone who eats spinach becomes Popeye.
I don't know how spinach has this effect.
There wasn't actually that much spinach. Li Ruo bought several thousand kilograms from the mall just to make enough to go around, and even specially sent someone to deliver a few kilograms to Boss Xie for hot pot.
Xie Xiao looked at the spinach and scolded the fourth leader, Yuan Hao, "Look, look! How come my wife's spinach is growing so thick and strong? What about yours?"
It looks like bean sprouts.
Without a doubt, he lost the bet.
The woman brought him some spinach just to remind him of this.
Fortunately, she'll soon be his wife. Doing things for her is just giving money to his own pocket, so he won't lose out at all.
He was incredibly prescient to confess his feelings to her so shamelessly and relentlessly pursue her.
With only one day left until the wedding day, Xie Xiao was actually a little nervous and asked Yuan Hao, "Are the chicken, duck, fish, pig, and sheep ready?"
Yuan Hao rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, what else do they need to prepare? Prepare to die?
The third leader covered his mouth and chuckled, "It's understandable that the first leader is a little nervous about his first marriage."
Sun Ergou scoffed, "Third Master, you're making it sound like the Boss might do it a second time—"
They immediately fell silent upon meeting the boss's gaze.
Xie Xiao gave him a big slap: "Good luck! If your sister hears this, I'll beat you to death." Once she gets jealous, it's not easy for her to calm down.
Sun Ergou laughed, "That's true. Um... Boss, I need to talk to you about something. From now on, I'm your brother-in-law, so you can't just hit me on the head—ouch!"
Why are you still hitting me?
"Go check quickly, one or two of you, to see if there are any oversights. By the way, has the invitation to Bai Yunfeng been sent out?" Xie Xiao asked.
"It was sent a long time ago," the fourth leader said.
But for some reason, her face suddenly turned red.
Seeing his suspicious expression, everyone was shocked: there was something going on!
Just as they were about to gossip a bit, the Fifth Master arrived and whispered something in Xie Xiao's ear. Xie Xiao's eyes darkened, and he dismissed everyone, leaving only the Fifth Master behind to give him some instructions...
In the flat-roofed house on Ziyang Peak next door, Lian Lizhi and Madam Miao smiled and pulled Li Ruo into the room.
When Li Ruo saw it, her first reaction was: Wow, is it really that grand?
It's not that the materials are particularly good, it's that they're handmade.
The embroidery techniques and aesthetics of the ancients are truly beyond the imitation of modern people; they can only be described as breathtaking.
The fiery red phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, so dazzling and beautiful, inspired a sense of awe in her, making her reluctant to wear them.
"Try it, try it!" The two women couldn't wait to see the results.
Li Ruo said, "No need to try it on. Isn't what was tailor-made for me suitable?"
Madam Miao laughed and said, "Never mind, it won't make a difference if it's just one more day."
Lian Lizhi slapped her forehead. "Tomorrow? Good heavens, I was so confused. I thought there were still a few days left. Turns out it's tomorrow."
Li Ruo was a little anxious because of her overreaction. Yes, she was getting married tomorrow.
There were only five days left until the Lunar New Year.
In the face of such a major natural disaster, just surviving is a blessing; no one dares to even think about celebrating the New Year like before.
However, because the leaders of Ziyang Peak and Heifeng Village were getting married, everyone wanted to share in the joy, and recently many newly arrived refugees have been wandering around the area.
Li Ruo paid respects to her father and elder brother in Lianlizhi's room. Thinking of these two people who loved the people like their own children, she decided to take advantage of her wedding to do something kind and practical for everyone.
She had Master Liao write many notices in the work-point room, which were then distributed to various places in General Mountain. The day after the wedding, on the 26th, each refugee was given a pound of rice for the New Year.
Not just Ziyang Peak, the entire General Mountain was in an uproar.
Those who previously called her a cunning businesswoman who took advantage of the situation have changed their tune, now calling her a fairy descended from heaven and a savior of the people.
They all wished Miss Li and Boss Xie a smooth wedding, a long and happy marriage, many children, and a long and healthy life.
See, sometimes reputation can be built with money.
"One jin per person, I heard there are more than 20,000 people on the mountain, that's more than 20,000 jin!" Upon hearing this, Xie Heng's wife, Fang, almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
How could Li Ru have so much grain? "It was Xie Xiao who gave it to her!"
Fang glared at Xie Heng, "During the previous two missions, Xie Xiao gave her 80,000 catties of grain. Later, he gave her another batch of betrothal gifts. She just gave it all away to those people for nothing. Does she think she's Guanyin Bodhisattva?"
Xie Heng was getting a little impatient with her noise. "Keep your voice down, or Mother will hear you and say you're petty."
"Me, petty? Fine, you're all good people and I'm the bad one. What will we do when the food runs out? We'll all starve to death."
“They know what they’re doing, why are you so nosy?” Xie Heng said with a headache. “Last time you asked me to steal a pig, I was caught, and in my anger I cursed the Fourth Master, almost causing his death in Xuzhou. I have nightmares every night since then.”
