"No need, no need, brother, you go and rest, I can manage on my own."
"Alright then, have you had dinner yet? I'll get you something to eat, and bake a few wheat pancakes."
"I haven't eaten yet, thanks bro."
While Brother Sang was busy preparing the meal in the kitchen, Zheng Quchi rummaged through the room, but couldn't find anything similar.
Finally, she didn't open the boxes containing her usual drawing and design drafts. Although she thought he couldn't possibly have left things there, she still couldn't resist the urge to check.
While searching, she accidentally knocked over a statue that was placed on the table.
Startled, she quickly put down what she was holding, squatted down to pick up Yuwen Sheng's sculpture, and carefully examined it to see if there was any damage.
"Luckily, the wood is sturdy, it wasn't damaged..."
As she was touching the texture of the sculpture, she suddenly felt something was wrong with the bottom of the sculpture. She turned it over curiously and saw a token that had been violently embedded in the bottom.
Why mention violence?
Because just by looking at the skewed angle of the embedding and the uneven, rough edges, you can tell that it was driven in and stuck by a strong force.
Zheng Quchi took a deep breath.
She was also very strong; with a single grip, she pried the four-inch-long lacquered gold plaque out.
The iron plaque is engraved with the character "兵" (soldier), and is surrounded by a houndstooth pattern on a dark background, reflecting the Yuwen family's dark lacquer. It has a heavy weight to it.
"He really did leave it at home."
What's it like to start something with a "let's give it a try" attitude and end up uncovering a treasure?
Just don't get too carried away.
Holding the military tally, Zheng Quchi imagined herself commanding armies at her beck and call from behind the scenes, commanding thousands of troops with unparalleled power and authority. The feeling of controlling a vast army and wielding absolute authority was like being on cloud nine.
But before she could indulge in her fantasies for long, Lan Yue told her, "Madam, this is the Xuanjia Army's emergency troop deployment token. It cannot be used as a tiger token. Therefore, it can only mobilize five hundred to one thousand troops at a time and cannot be used to command the entire army."
Zheng Quchi was suddenly pulled down to earth: "...In the end, it was all for naught."
——
next day
Zheng Quchi waited there early in the morning. She was a little nervous because if a fight broke out, the other party might resent her for cheating and try to sacrificing her to the heavens at all costs.
However, she had already made arrangements with the four people who had wiped out her group, and they would ignore everything else and only focus on saving her.
But after waiting all morning, no one showed up!
It seems the other party stood us up...
Zheng Quchi couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or relieved.
But just as he was about to retreat, he saw someone coming. Not only that, but he was also dragging a blood-soaked cart, with blood dripping and flowing all the way. Zheng Quchi was so shocked that he froze.
Where...where did he just come from?!
