Chapter 99 The Man Behind
Ouyang Jing: I didn't expect the young lady to think so much.
"I'll listen to the young lady and not kill the prefect." Ouyang Jing decided to watch the show.
He really wanted to see what methods this mysterious lady had.
"A mere prefect is not worth my effort." Baihu Yaoyao picked up the tea bowl, blew away the foam, and took a sip.
There were plenty of people who helped her get rid of the prefect.
Dong Qian must also know that if he wants the affordable grain store to continue operating safely, the prefect must fall.
The people behind him will definitely not let the prefect continue to jump around.
This grain store is the last lifeline for the Northwest.
Baihu Yaoyao was in a good mood, but she didn't know whether the person behind Dong Qian was capable enough to keep this affordable grain store.
After Dong Qian returned, he went straight to the side yard.
This yard was right next to where he lived, and his father didn't know who lived there.
Seeing the man in black standing in the yard, Dong Qian walked forward quickly.
"Greetings, Your Highness." Dong Qian was very respectful towards the man in front of him.
Quan Lihen stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the plum blossoms in the garden in a daze.
I turned around after hearing the voice, and a face that made the world pale in comparison appeared before my eyes.
Dong Qian swallowed hard. Even as a grown man, he felt ashamed when he saw the prince's face.
No wonder those women are crazy about the prince's face.
"What do you think? Can that woman really provide some food to open an affordable grain store?" Quan Lihen walked into the house.
Dong Qian followed closely behind.
Quan Lihen sat down at the top seat, his eyes sharp as torches.
"Yes, Your Highness! She also claimed to have an unlimited supply of food. I don't think she was exaggerating! Everything in Qibaozhai bears the Fanlou logo. She has the Fanlou's support, so what she said is definitely true."
Outsiders may not know the specialness of Qibaozhai, but he knows.
All the things in Qibaozhai have the Fanlou logo printed in an inconspicuous place.
Just because of this mark, no one dares to mess with Qibaozhai.
Baihu Yaoyao is the master behind Qibaozhai, so no one dares to provoke her.
Quan Lihen was turning a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, the corners of his handsome mouth slightly raised, and his tense nerves relaxed a little.
"That's good! I think she must have some conditions, right?" Quan Lihen asked.
How on earth could a teenage girl get so much food?
No matter how he investigated, she was just an ordinary girl, but her identity was a little special.
Dong Qian sighed, "Your Highness, that girl has only one condition, and that is for the prefect to step down."
If she could ask for other conditions, such as gold or silver status, they might be able to give it to her.
But the prefect is a key figure, the bait they released, and they can't kill him now.
Isn’t this a bit difficult?
Quan Lihen's voice was cold and ruthless, "Then kill him! The little girl only has such a small request, can't we satisfy it?"
Dong Qian raised his head fiercely, "Your Highness, are you kidding me? If we kill him, we won't know how to control those medicine men. Once they get out, we won't be able to stop them at all."
Aren’t the prince’s plans always steady and cautious? Wouldn’t he act so rashly?
Why are you so eager to kill someone just because of a girl's words?
The food in the girl's hands was their last hope in the northwest, but the prefect's life could still be saved for a while.
The girl also agreed.
Quan Lihen took a sip of the tea bowl slowly, "I'm not kidding, just kill him! There's no need to keep that prefect here."
"Do you know what happened to those medicine men who escaped a few days ago?"
Quan Lihen kept the secret.
Dong Qian shook his head, "Didn't the prince already send people to hunt him down?"
They followed the prefect's lead and found a mine where there were many medicine men.
The prefect knew that the mine had been exposed, so he abandoned the mine and fled, leaving only the uncontrollable medicine men.
There were too many medicine men, and many of them ran away once they couldn't keep an eye on them.
They have sent troops to hunt down many of them, but some of them ran fast and got out of control.
That small group of medicine men had more than two hundred people, and the prince had already sent people to hunt them down.
Could it be that he failed to catch up with those medicine men?
If that happens, we're doomed.
Quan Lihen tapped the table with his slender fingers, making a beeping sound. "I sent soldiers to chase those medicine men. Just as they reached Ghost Crying Ridge, they saw lightning and thunder in the sky. A woman used the lightning to kill those medicine men instantly."
"Do you know who that woman is?"
When he heard the news, he was shocked.
I thought, I must find that woman no matter what.
Later, I found out that the only woman who appeared in Ghost Crying Ridge that night was actually the white fox Yaoyao.
"Your Highness, you are not going to say that the woman is Miss Yaoyao?" Dong Qian asked in disbelief.
The girl is petite and delicate, with a rosy and tender face. She always smiles when she looks at people, and looks very cute. She has a harmless face. How could she attract thunder?
Is this still a human being?
That's thunder from the sky!
"That's right! This little girl's abilities are extraordinary! She can kill hundreds of medicine men in a single move. I'm sure she can also deal with the medicine men we've controlled."
"Since we are partners, it should be okay to ask her for a favor. I heard that the girl loves money very much. My palace is short of food but never short of gold and silver."
"What's more, with the relationship with Mr. Huo, the little girl will definitely help."
Quan Lihen became more and more interested in this little girl.
He wanted to meet her. A girl who could attract thunder from the sky must not be an ordinary person.
Dong Qian didn't feel relaxed, as he felt the little girl was not that easy to talk to.
There are more than two thousand half-dead medicine men in the mine!
They were losing control.
Even if she, a little girl, agreed to their request, could those medicine men really be dealt with all at once?
"Your Highness, I will go and deal with the prefect's affairs. Miss Yaoyao seems difficult to talk to. To be on the safe side, it is better to wait for Mr. Huo to arrive before discussing the matter of the medicine man with Miss Yaoyao."
What I mean is, don't rush into looking for that girl yourself.
The girl is very cautious towards people she doesn't know!
"Go." Quan Lihen waved his hand.
How could he not understand what Dong Qian meant?
Dong Qian was relieved and quickly left the side yard.
Since the prince has given the order to kill the prefect, he has nothing to worry about.
It’s a good opportunity to give Miss Yaoyao an explanation as well.
"When will Mr. Huo be able to get here?" Quan Lihen said in a cold voice.
The guard at the door bowed and said, "Your Highness, I just received a message that Mr. Huo will not arrive until tomorrow."
Quan Lihen nodded, "Got it! We must ensure Mr. Huo's safety, go down!"
"Yes!" The guard retreated.
He was the only one left in the room. He stretched out his hand and in his palm lay a black and gold summer cicada.
Pick up the summer cicada and look closely to see that it is carved from stone.
"Who is this woman who has such a strange sound transmission stone?" Quan Lihen's mind was full of questions.
