Chapter 143 Trying to trick her again!
They entered the space by relying on the concentric lock.
Zhou Lang was willing to give the other half of the love lock to her for safekeeping.
Allow her to enter the space alone.
Isn't this equivalent to giving her all your belongings?
When she first came here, she wanted to poison him and steal half of his love lock.
…
Zhou Lang is different now.
Lin Shiqi watched his figure disappear at the gate, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise again and again.
I've been with my dog Zhou Lang every day and I've gotten tired of him.
The shameless dog Zhou Lang attacked her last time, and she secretly vowed that she would never forgive him.
Every day seems like I'm looking forward to something, but there's nothing.
This feeling is even worse.
I thought, out of sight, out of mind is better, even a few days of separation is fine.
Unexpectedly, the dog Zhou Lang played this trick on her.
He gave her half of his love lock for safekeeping.
Keep her safe.
Are you trying to trick her again?
She won't be fooled!
snort.
Then, she opened her mouth again and carefully took Zhou Lang's half of the love lock, along with Zhou Lang's body temperature, into her arms.

Longquan Book House.
Zhou Qinan was waiting for buyers here with his copied book.
After a while, the man wearing a cap arrived as promised.
"Master, everything you ordered has been done." The voice was very low.
Zhou Qinan asked, "Is it going well?"
The man in the hat replied, "When I attacked Wolf Village, I used a little trick to take it down with minimal casualties. I also found the young noble. I followed my master's instructions and pretended not to know him. I didn't reveal your existence and killed all the people in Wolf Village. I also took back all the supplies from Wolf Village. I also found a reasonable reason to send the young noble to the territory of Jiangbo Mansion, and then I came back..."
"Well done." Zhou Qinan nodded.
Then, he continued, "Your Sheshan Village suddenly attacked the Wolf Mountain Village in the next county. Now someone must be dissatisfied with your Sheshan Village. I'm afraid they will unite to attack your Sheshan Village. Do you have any good countermeasures?"
The man in the hat said, "Master, don't worry about me. I will slowly recruit soldiers and horses to strengthen my strength. They don't dare to attack our Snake Village at the moment."
It's not a definite statement, but we are now facing this possibility.
Because they broke the previous covenant.
They were all bandit dens that occupied the mountains and acted as kings. They had discussed and marked out their territories beforehand and did not interfere with each other.
They are not playing by the rules now and will face collective boycott.
It is also possible.
But he cannot be afraid, he must find a way. If he can't even overcome this little difficulty, wouldn't his master look down on him?
Zhou Qinan chuckled.
"Snake Village has been damaged twice in a row, and many of our brothers have died. I'm afraid your supplies are not enough. How are you going to recruit soldiers and increase your strength?" Even a good cook cannot cook without rice.
Without money, people cannot eat big chunks of meat or drink big bowls of wine. How can they attract desperate criminals to join them?
The man in the hat was silent for a moment, "Master, do you have any good ideas?"
"Within a hundred miles of your Snake Mountain Village, there is a big village called Ghost Gate Village?"
The man in the hat replied quickly, "Yes, Master. Guimenguan Village is the largest village within a hundred miles. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It has existed for decades. Even when the late emperor was alive, the imperial court couldn't conquer them. They openly collect money for goods shipped from the mountains in that area, and no one dares to say no."
"There is an undeveloped silver mine in Guimenguan Village. You have to find a way to defeat it and quietly dig up the silver mine. Then you won't have to worry about money when recruiting soldiers in the future..." Zhou Qinan said slowly.
The man in the hat was so excited, "Master, are you serious?"
"Well, no one has discovered it yet. The first one we find will be ours. But there is no need to rush. Guimenguan Village is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is difficult to take it down. With your current strength in Sheshan Village, you need to recruit soldiers. Just recruit anyone. I'll name a few people. Recruit them, the brothers Lin Dagen and Lin Xiaogen. When the government comes to arrest people in the future, let them take the blame for your crime. You retreat to Guimen Village and abandon Sheshan Village..."
"Okay. I'll listen to you, Master."
Zhou Qinan narrowed his eyes again, "You are short of money at the moment, so you have to go and rob. I'll make a few lists for you, all of which are hidden wealthy families nearby, and the Xu's Company in Jixiang County..."
"Master, is Xu's Company the one that does business with your Zhou family?"
"Exactly."
The man in the hat talked about the Zhou family and said, "They deliver tofu to the county town every day. Do you want me to send someone to rob them?"
"No need. Robbing their cart would only bring a few taels of silver. It would also alert the enemy and expose our whereabouts. The gain would outweigh the loss. We should rob Xu's business first. In the middle of every month, all the money from the branches of Xu's business would be remitted back to the main shop in Jixiang County for reconciliation..."
The man in the hat became excited. "Isn't it these few days? These few days are the time for the boy's test. A large number of outsiders will enter Jixiang County. We can just rob and run away. The government won't be able to investigate us."
"Um."
…
Suddenly, there was a slight noise outside the door.
The man in the hat rushed out vigilantly.
I saw a wild cat walking away on the tiles.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
***
Lin Shiqi felt very happy.
When Zhou Laoer and his companions finished delivering the goods and were about to go back, suddenly, someone stopped their horses at the city gate.
It’s the little mute girl.
Lin Shiqi was surprised and asked, "You little guy, why are you running to the county town instead of studying in school?"
The little mute girl was very anxious and looked like she had something to say.
Making gestures.
Lin Shiqi said, "Okay, do you want to eat some candied haws? I'll take you to buy some."
Took the little mute girl to the side.
A place where no one is.
"What's wrong? What happened? Is it related to Zhou Qinan?"
Apart from Zhou Qinan, Lin Shiqi couldn't think of anything else that could make the little mute woman so anxious.
Little Mute Lady spoke up, "The bandits from Snake Village are coming to rob Xu's business!"
"What?"
Lin Shiqi was stunned.
The mute girl told Lin Shiqi what she heard...
Lin Shiqi was furious. "This Zhou Qinan really colluded with the bandits. He is so bad at such a young age. They robbed Xu's business. I think they want to target our Zhou family and destroy our tofu business. We can't let them rob Xu's business."
We can’t let the Xu Company be implicated by the Zhou family.
Is Zhou Qinan really tired?
Do you have to target the Zhou family like this?
The Zhou family didn't do anything heinous to their eldest branch, and they even gave him money to study. He really didn't want anything good for the Zhou family at all, and he wanted to leave after stepping over the Zhou family's dead bodies.
He is the kind of ungrateful person.
Don't count kindness, only remember grudges.
It's amazing that a man with this kind of personality can be the protagonist of a male-oriented book.
Look at how good her Zhou Lang is, a domineering young man who is reasonable and understands human nature. But this Zhou Qinan is a petty person who will take revenge for any slight.
"Mom, what should we do now?"
