Yang Shengwen felt a cold sweat pour down his back and nervously looked at the imposing man in front of him.
Gu Zhan's face was cold, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips. "You really have a lot of swagger."
Upon hearing this, Yang Shengwen instinctively wanted to argue, but was so frightened by the icy aura emanating from Gu Zhan that he was speechless.
Gu Zhan didn't want to pay any attention to him at all, and quickly walked to Xu Nian's side to check on her with concern.
He had just received news in the house that someone had surrounded Xu Nian with their men, so he immediately led his troops over.
He gripped Xu Nian's thin shoulders and spun her around. "Are you alright?"
Xu Nian obediently allowed him to turn her around, then slapped his arm in an annoyance, "Do I look like I have something wrong?"
Immediately afterwards, Xu Nian told Gu Zhan the whole story.
When Gu Zhan learned that this group of people had deliberately caused trouble and even tried to smash cars, his expression instantly darkened.
He had been watching Xu Nian work tirelessly to make this stall a success, so how could he tolerate others disrespecting Xu Nian's achievements?
So, Gu Zhan strode up to Yang Shengwen, who was full of resentment, and said, "You cowardly man who is less skilled than others, get as far away from me as possible."
As he spoke, he pressed the sword in his hand against Yang Shengwen's throat, his words carrying a strong threat.
"you!"
Yang Shengwen was furious and wanted to accuse them, but he was horrified to find that the skin on his throat was cut open and hot blood was slowly flowing down.
Gu Zhan, who was making the move, remained calm, his narrow eyes filled with danger.
Yang Shengwen was truly terrified now, and he shouted in a trembling voice, "Retreat!"
Immediately afterwards, he scrambled away and fled.
The residents who had been worried about Xu Nian were now completely relieved.
[The general is so handsome and considerate!]
That person was really disgusting; isn't that just unfair competition?
[This city lord's tyranny truly extends far and wide; otherwise, how dare they target others like this?]
The comments section was filled with righteous indignation, criticizing the city lord and hoping that Xu Nian could defeat him as soon as possible.
Xu Nian nodded silently.
Of course she wanted to crush that damned city lord, and completely crush him!
With this in mind, Xu Nian was filled with fighting spirit. "Let's go back and come back to sell again tomorrow!"
Today's events will surely reach everyone's ears soon, and those who harbor ill intentions behind the scenes will have to think twice about their capabilities.
Back at their residence, the residents who hadn't gone to sell the wraps all gathered around.
"How is it?"
"Is anyone buying? We don't need many, just a few dozen copper coins a day will do!"
Listening to the incessant chatter around her, Xu Nian smiled and said, "It sold for more than an ounce of silver!"
The simple farmers were immediately shocked. "One tael of silver?"
Although a tael of silver is nothing in the city where prices are skyrocketing these days, it is still a huge sum of money for them!
Everyone cheered and jumped for joy, their expressions brimming with happiness.
Da Bao and Er Bao ran up to Xu Nian and exclaimed, "Big sister, you guys are amazing!"
In the eyes of the two children, Xu Nian can not only turn into white steamed buns, but also use talismans, and now she is even teaching uncles and aunts to sell crepes!
Xu Nian scratched his head in frustration.
If she had a choice, she definitely wouldn't have done these things!
Who told my cheap master to abandon me here and then completely ignore me? Waaaaah!
The streamer's crying looked so fake.
I really want to see the streamer's mentor and fellow apprentices bully the streamer together!
Xu Nian snapped off the live comments, out of sight, out of mind.
Thinking of those frail chicks, Xu Nian bent down and asked, "How are the chicks I asked you to look after?"
Upon hearing this, Da Bao and Er Bao proudly puffed out their little chests, "Of course! We take good care of them!"
As if afraid that Xu Nian wouldn't believe them, the two children pulled Xu Nian to the front of the chicken shed.
Da Bao skillfully took out chicken feed and called the chicks over.
The previously skinny chicks have all grown quite plump now, chirping and chattering around Da Bao and Er Bao.
Xu Nian looked on with satisfaction, then took out a few sugar cubes from her pocket and gave them to them, saying, "Good boy/girl~"
The two children always loved the snacks Xu Nian gave them, and they skipped off to play with them.
Meanwhile, Granny Chen was inside the house, directing people to continue making the sauce.
She had lived most of her life and never expected that her unique sauce would be loved by so many people, and she always had a smile on her face.
Everything is proceeding very smoothly.
On the other side.
"General, there doesn't seem to be any prey in this desolate wilderness?"
The soldiers followed behind Gu Zhan, muttering something under their breath.
The sturdy little white dog, already grown up, ran wildly through the mountains and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Gu Zhan didn't stop him. He took Xiaobai with him the whole way, feeding and caring for it well.
Little White is also sensible, and it would occasionally bring back some prey to supplement the soldiers' diet. Everyone liked it very much.
Gu Zhan walked along, occasionally marking the way on the trees beside him, afraid of getting lost.
They came out this time to try their luck and see if they could catch any prey.
Even without prey, picking some wild vegetables or mushrooms to take home is a great idea.
With that in mind, Gu Zhan ordered, "Go and collect everything. Gather here in one hour."
"yes!"
Everyone readily agreed and began searching frantically, like a tractor going up a mountain.
This place was already close to the city, and many of the wild animals had been hunted down to almost nothing, leaving only weeds growing everywhere.
However, years of experience stationed in the field have given the soldiers a good understanding of which wild vegetables are edible, so the trip was not in vain.
Half an hour passed quietly, and Gu Zhan still hadn't found any prey. He sighed almost imperceptibly.
Was it really too much of a stretch?
Just as he was about to turn back, Little White suddenly came galloping over from not far away.
It was biting Gu Zhan's trouser leg, looking very anxious.
Gu Zhan immediately understood; Xiao Bai had discovered something.
Without hesitation, he followed in Xiaobai's footsteps and walked straight in the direction it was running.
After walking a few steps, Little White suddenly stopped, whimpering and hissing something.
Following Xiaobai's gaze, Gu Zhan spotted a slightly hunched figure.
It was a man, holding something in his hand and muttering something under his breath.
"With this, we're guaranteed an easy victory!"
This bizarre appearance made Gu Zhan frown slightly, and he immediately covered Xiaobai's gaping mouth, which was about to cry out.
The man glanced around furtively, strode into the somewhat eerie cave entrance, and then disappeared.
Upon seeing this, a figure suddenly flashed into Gu Zhan's mind.
The person who felt so strangely familiar—was the city lord?
