Lin Jinyue and Gu Shao chatted about various things.
It was roughly referring to the batch of leather armor they ordered from Lingnan.
Xie Hong was inhuman; he didn't care about the lives of his soldiers at all, and his fundraising even had a hint of embezzlement.
His men weren't exactly honest either.
However, this person can't stand being provoked.
Her father provoked her several times, and then people paraded through the streets cursing him, which finally made her behave.
Gu Shao listened, a faint smile in his eyes.
That put his mind at ease.
Lin Jinyue stood up and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, once I resolve your concerns, I will find a way to get you out of here."
"Also, there's no need to confront Xie Hong head-on. He's stubborn and arrogant; if you provoke him, he won't dare to do anything."
Lin Jinyue wanted to persuade him that since the emperor was inhuman, he should take his troops and establish his own power base to defend Lingnan.
But think about Gu Shaoren as a person.
Never mind, I'd better not say anything more.
She bought some more medicine from her spatial storage, took it out of her pocket, and handed it to Gu Shao.
Lin Jinyue also asked, "Do you have any injuries on your back? I can help you apply medicine."
Gu Shao blushed slightly, "I can do it myself."
Lin Jinyue: "I am a doctor, and I am not yet ten years old... These medicines are very effective, at least they can alleviate some of the pain."
Xie Hong waited outside for a long time, wondering what they were talking about for so long.
Opening the stone door directly, one could see Lin Jinyue applying medicine to Gu Shao.
Lin Jinyue glanced back, applying the medicine as she said, "General Xie, are you really that petty? Are you deliberately using your position to settle a personal score?"
Xie Hong snorted coldly and didn't respond.
Lin Jinyue looked at her bag of dried meat again, "You and your men aren't going to fight with Gu Shao for these snacks, are you? You can buy these at Yunheji Grocery Store in Shawan County, they're not expensive. You... sigh, never mind, you're all too stingy to feed Gu Shao, so I'll bring him some food every day from now on?"
Seeing Lin Jinyue's suspicious gaze, Xie Hong's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Xie Hong: "What do you know, you little brat? You still want to see him every day? Even after all this, you still say you don't have any other feelings for him?"
Xie Hong wanted the treasures of Yunhe Village, but he was afraid that the villagers would rather break than submit.
He thought for a moment and then said, "How about this, if you are interested in him, you can exchange something for him, and I can arrange for you two to be alone."
Lin Jinyue was numb.
I was shocked by the values and beliefs of ancient times.
Once she befriends a powerful figure, she will definitely raise the legal marriage age to after twenty.
However, this way I can see Gu Shao more often, making it easier to bring him out later.
Lin Jinyue said to Xie Hong, "Okay."
Xie Hong smiled and said to the others, "No matter what grudges you had against him before, you are not allowed to lay a hand on him from now on."
The guards broke out in a cold sweat and quickly agreed.
Xie Hong was arrogant and self-willed, and he didn't take Lin Jinyue, Gu Shao, or even the Gu family seriously at all.
In his eyes, Lin Jinyue was nothing more than a country girl who had some extraordinary encounters.
With the Gu family gone, Gu Shao is no longer a threat.
He used the strange and unusual methods that Gu Shao had learned from Lin Jinyue to make money. He used them to find people to make money, and he offered them as tribute, such as potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Yunhe Village must have even more good things.
Xie Hong's eyes were filled with greed.
Lin Jinyue said, "It's late today, I need to rest. I'll teach you the ice-making method tomorrow."
Xie Hong's tone was flippant, and there was a hint of disdain in his gaze as he looked at Gu Shao: "Do you want Gu Shao to serve you tonight?"
Xie Hong hated Gu Shao's calm and composed demeanor no matter when or where.
His spine was always straight.
Xie Hong wished he could break his pride and deliberately used this incident to humiliate him.
Gu Shao used to be a favored son of heaven, and he was inferior to Gu Shao in every way.
From now on, Gu Shao will have to rely on serving a young girl to survive.
If he were Gu Shao, he would definitely want to kill himself.
Lin Jinyue thought for a moment, "That works too."
Living in a tent is better than this gloomy and damp prison cell; at least I can eat my fill.
Gu Shao remained silent, his hands chained as he followed behind Lin Jinyue. He wasn't the kind of person who valued face above all else, and he completely ignored the inquiring or shocked gazes of others.
Once inside the tent, Gu Shao bowed deeply to Lin Jinyue: "Thank you very much, Miss Lin, but..."
Gu Shao held back for a long time but couldn't say anything.
Lin Jinyue understood what he meant, so she said, "There's no need to worry about these trivial matters. General Gu, you have the world in your heart and you are a great person. My parents and the uncles and aunts in the village know this, and they will definitely understand me."
Gu Shao, "Rumors are indeed a fearsome thing, if..."
Lin Jinyue waved her hand dismissively, acting as if living in the military camp was her own backyard. "It's alright, it's alright, go wash up first."
Gu Shao swallowed the rest of his sentence.
He wanted to say that if it would damage his reputation, he could marry into the Lin family.
Lin Xueqing had said after drinking that she needed to find an obedient husband to marry into the family so that her sister wouldn't suffer.
Gu Shao hadn't expected that Lin Jinyue didn't care about any of that.
He directly ordered the guards at the door: "Bring in a bucket of hot water, and prepare some clean clothes and bedding. Dinner will be a 'Quanfu Banquet' from Ruyilou. Also, I'll be taking a bath with flower petal milk later, so remember to buy it. The calming incense should be from Wanbaoge. Tomorrow's breakfast should be crab roe buns and shrimp dumplings from Yunheji in Shawan County, and..."
Lin Jinyue rattled off a whole bunch of things.
The two henchmen had no choice but to go to Xie Hong.
Xie Hong's already dwindling patience completely ran out. "What exactly do you want?"
