Lu Qingyan pretended to be angry and said, "You don't have a single penny? Are you expecting me to starve?" Before she could finish speaking, she couldn't help but laugh. She pinched Rong Qing's cheek and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have a single penny. I have money. I can support you."
“I’d rather support you than be supported by you,” Rong Qing said. “I’m determined to get those people’s money, and I’m afraid we’ll have to fight. Once the war starts, I’ll have less and less time to spend with you.”
Rong Qing was filled with regret. If only this were a peaceful era, he could have lived a sweet and happy life with Lu Qingyan.
But now that wars are frequent, Rong Qing, as the commander-in-chief, should also shoulder his responsibilities.
“I can go with you,” Lu Qingyan said, confident that she was no less capable than the men on the battlefield.
“But I can’t bear to,” Rong Qing said, his gaze towards Lu Qingyan almost drowning her.
"I'd rather you work from the rear than fight on the front lines; at least that way I'd feel at ease."
Rong Qing reached out and hugged Lu Qingyan, his hand stroking her back, making her feel as soft and yielding as water.
He sighed softly, and finally said, "Stay home and be careful," before rushing out the door.
Lu Qingyan knew where he had gone.
Stepping out of the house, Ye Li, who had been waiting outside, chuckled and teased, "I thought you'd become indecisive again after entering a brothel, but I didn't expect you to come out so quickly."
“Let’s go, I know what I have to do,” Rong Qing said, adding a bullet to his gun.
Ye Li saw this and said stingily, "Rong Qing, use it sparingly. We don't have many bullets. Even if we had money, we would have to pay the soldiers first. So there won't be much left."
“I know what I’m doing; these bullets won’t go to waste.” Rong Qing walked ahead, then suddenly turned around: “Once we get that money, don’t pay the military salaries all at once. First, set up a factory to produce weapons.”
“Good idea,” Ye Li praised, then looked at him and asked, “Who would do that?”
These days, finding a capable person is both very easy and very difficult. At least Ye Li doesn't know anyone who can make weapons; he only knows a few who specialize in selling weapons and have made a lot of money.
These things are all valuable, and if the Rong family can organize them, they will probably carry more weight in the eyes of other factions.
“I’ve got some blueprints that I can have people try out,” Rong Qing said. What he didn’t say was that he had drawn all of these blueprints himself.
Ye Li knows Rong Qing too well. He might be able to fool people with changes in personality, but he would definitely be suspicious of Rong Qing's sudden change in ability.
Rong Qing didn't want to lose Ye Li as a friend.
Ye Li suppressed his frivolous smile and said solemnly, "Let me see it when I get back."
"Okay," Rong Qing agreed.
After the two men had gone far away, visitors arrived at the Marshal's Mansion.
A man and a woman walked side by side. The man was bossing the woman around, while she just nodded obsequiously with a smile on her face. As they got closer, the man said, "When you get to the Marshal's mansion, keep your eyes peeled. Remember to tell me everything you see, especially about the woman the Marshal brought back. If you dare to hide anything, you know what will happen to you!"
"Don't worry, sir, I will keep a close eye on things and there will be absolutely no mistakes."
