Watching Su Mochen's resolute back, Jing Zhe was a little dumbfounded.
After regaining his senses, he spat on the ground:
I haven't said anything yet, why are you so angry?
Ugh, women are such a hassle!
He shook his head and started walking back.
He didn't sleep well last night and got up very early this morning, so he decided to go back and catch up on some sleep.
On the way, I ran into Big Face leading a few people out, so I asked, "Big Face, where are you going?"
"Young Master, go down the mountain to buy wine and sheep!"
It turned out that Lu Li had decided to hold another roast lamb feast on the mountain that night to give Jing Zhe a farewell party, and instructed Da Lian to take people down to buy things.
"Me too! Me too!"
Fat Ball was overjoyed to see this.
Jing Zhe sized him up: "It's broad daylight, and Chunshui Tower and Zuimeng Tower are still closed. What are you going down there for?"
Upon hearing this, Fatty's face turned bright red.
After a long pause, he said, "Young Chieftain, why do you think so much about me, Fatty? I, Fatty, have always acted with integrity and uprightness. How could I possibly be interested in women? I came down the mountain purely to help the brothers!"
Jing Zhe nodded. "You're the kind of fat guy who doesn't care about women, are you?"
The chubby ball held its head high and nodded proudly.
"Since that's the case, I still need to ask you to do something. When you go down the mountain, don't help them herd sheep and buy wine. Go to Princess Chen's residence and bring me that device for making strong liquor."
He then instructed Big Face to take more people down to buy wine, and after giving those instructions, he went back to his room to sleep.
...
When I woke up, Fatty and the others had already returned and were processing the mutton.
Jing Zhe called Lu Li over and, under the watchful eyes of Lu Li and Liu Jinghong, demonstrated the process of making strong liquor. Then he said, "Big sister, here are your two thousand silver notes. Spend them as you please. Da Lian and the others also know how to make this strong liquor. You can make some for your own consumption, and when it gets cold, you can sell it in the city—it'll be a good business!"
Lu Li nodded with a smile, her eyes gentle and warm.
"Can this method really produce strong liquor?"
Liu Jinghong often fought against the barbarians in Liangzhou and had even captured their strong liquor. Knowing how precious it was, he was somewhat skeptical when he first heard that Jing Zhe could also make strong liquor.
"That's definitely possible."
Lu Li answered for him, "I've had it, it's very strong."
"OK!"
After hearing her words, Liu Jinghong stood up with her hands on her hips and said with dissatisfaction, "What? Eldest sister is the eldest sister, but fifth sister isn't? You only think of eldest sister when there's something so good. You're being biased!"
"..."
Jing Zhe was speechless. What kind of jealousy was this?
He put his arm around Liu Jinghong's shoulder and said with a smile, "Fifth Sister, don't be angry. This method is very simple. I'll draw a simple diagram later, and you can take it back and find someone to make one!"
Liu Jinghong smiled after hearing this, finally satisfied.
Then Jing Zhe added, "Elder sister, I just heard Princess Mo Chen say that she has already left a message for the next prefect of Yongzhou, that she will not make things difficult for Mangshan in the future, and the brothers on the mountain will no longer need to hide when entering the city!"
As the princess of Anguo, Su Mochen was indeed capable of doing so.
"There's no shortage of money or ways to make money on the mountain, so you don't need to worry about them anymore, sister!"
Seeing Lu Li nod, Jing Zhe pressed his advantage: "So, eldest sister, come to Jingzhou with me!"
Actually, he said the same thing when we went up the mountain last time.
No matter how strong Lu Li is, she is still a girl in her early twenties. Over the years, she has not only stayed on the mountain, but also had to support everyone's livelihood. For her, life has long lost its original color.
So Jing Zhe wanted to take her out to see the world.
Seeing her hesitation, Jing Zhe added, "Just consider it protecting me! It's my first time going to Jingzhou, and I'll feel much more at ease if my elder sister can be by my side!"
Lu Li was somewhat tempted, but after considering something, she finally shook her head.
Jing Zhe wanted to persuade her again, but Liu Jinghong stopped him.
"You only invited your eldest sister to go to Jingzhou, why didn't you invite me?"
Well, here we go again!
"Fifth Sister has a public office now, so even if I invite you, you won't go!"
"How do you know I won't go if you don't invite me?"
"Alright, Fifth Sister, why don't you come with me to Jingzhou?"
"I'm not going."
Liu Jinghong readily turned her head to the side: "I have plenty of things to do in Liangzhou. Besides, if you're not sincere, I won't go!"
"..."
This older sister is not only jealous, but she also deliberately picks fights.
Jing Zhe made an excuse to go get some barbecue skewers and slipped out. He could hear the laughter of the two women coming from inside the house, a sound that lingered in his mind.
...
Humans are emotional beings.
Even if you live with a dog for half a month, you'll still feel reluctant to leave it, let alone Jing Zhe who doesn't even have a dog.
Hearing that he would be leaving early tomorrow morning, the rough men of Mangshan were equally reluctant to part with him. They didn't know how to express their feelings of farewell, so they poured their words into their wine and toasted him cup after cup.
Jing Zhe accepted all comers without hesitation, and soon lost consciousness.
She didn't know who helped her into the house, and when she opened her eyes the next day, she found herself wearing only a pair of underwear, which completely stunned her.
Did he have sex after drinking?
These four words popped into my head immediately.
"Are you awake?"
At this moment, Liu Jinghong pushed open the door and entered, carrying a bowl of porridge.
At this moment, Jing Zhe was sitting on the bed with his upper body bare. When he saw Liu Jinghong, he quickly covered himself with the quilt.
Seeing this, Liu Jinghong's cheeks flushed slightly, and she pouted, saying, "I was the one who took off your clothes yesterday, what are you still shy about? I even bathed you when you were little."
Jing Zhe's face darkened: You know that was when I was a child?
Despite their familiarity, Liu Jinghong still left first, and only came back in after Jing Zhe was dressed, urging him to eat.
Jing Zhe then noticed that Liu Jinghong had changed out of her armor today, but she wasn't wearing women's clothing either. Instead, she was wearing a black outfit that looked somewhat familiar, and judging from the style, it seemed to be Lu Li's.
She and Lu Li were about the same size, and the clothes she wore fit her perfectly.
Su Mochen and Guizhi were already waiting outside. Upon hearing that they were going back to Jingzhou, Guizhi was the happiest, her mouth practically stretched to the back of her head in a grin.
Strangely enough, Hanhan was also carrying a bundle and stood outside blankly.
Seeing his confusion, Lu Li walked over and said, "Jingzhou, your eldest sister can't go with you. Da Han is quite skilled, and he should have developed a good understanding with you during this time, so let him go with you!"
Silly?
tacit agreement?
Seeing the憨憨 (simple and honest) round face turn around and smile at him, Jing Zhe couldn't help but smile wryly.
...
The weather was sunny and breezy that day.
The crowd from Mangshan surrounded Jing Zhe, their voices mingling.
Especially Fatty, who was incredibly envious when he heard that Jing Zhe was going to bring Han Han along. He repeatedly hinted to Jing Zhe that he could bring Han Han along, and in return, he would marry his sister to him.
Jing Zhe told him to get lost.
You're asking us for a favor, and you're threatening us?
I bought a big gold watch last year!
Like seeing off a child leaving home, Lu Li helped Jing Zhe pack his clothes and luggage, gave him many instructions, and then waved goodbye.
Despite my deep reluctance, we must part ways today.
Composing themselves, Jing Zhe, Liu Jinghong, Su Mochen, along with Hanhan and Guizhi, embarked on their journey to Jingzhou.
