Chapter 263 It’s Over
After Zhonglizhou sent the letter, he stared at the carrier pigeon until it disappeared from view without looking away.
Lieutenant General Yang stood aside and whispered, "Prince, do you think Miss Ji will agree?"
Zhongli Zhou retracted his gaze: "Probably not."
We are all smart people, and I believe Miss Ji can also see his temptation. Most people would be lucky not to be in a hurry to distance themselves from the matter at this time, so why would they rush to take on the job?
Lieutenant General Yang said with some regret: "Then why did you tell her everything about Cui's situation? If you hadn't told her, Miss Ji might have agreed! As long as the goods are delivered, why should we care so much?"
Zhong Lizhou glanced at him and said disapprovingly, "There's also a sense of fate between people. Testing is fine, but as a partner, you have to make it clear what needs to be said. Otherwise, how can we work together in the future?"
Lieutenant General Yang was a little embarrassed: "I don't mean to cheat you, it's just that we are really short of..."
Zhongli Zhou waved his hand and said, "I'm relieved now that I've received this information. The team I sent to the south has received some news. They will be bringing back a batch of grain in the next two days. I sent orders to Cui Qi, but he still hasn't shown up."
Admiral Yang breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes!"
Just when Zhongli Zhou no longer cared about the matter and was ordering people to keep a close eye on Cui Qi, a carrier pigeon flew from a distance and landed on his shoulder.
Looking at the carrier pigeon on his shoulder, Zhong Lizhou was surprised for a moment, then raised his hand to pick up the reply letter.
There was only one sentence on it: Li Changmu agreed and lent him the badge.
Zhongli Zhou laughed.
Admiral Yang couldn't help but move his feet over when he saw the reply letter. His face lit up with joy: "Miss Ji helped?!"
Zhongli Zhou was very pleased: "That's right! From today on, you will send people to guard the city gate. If you encounter someone holding the token, you will quietly escort them into the city and avoid being targeted."
Lieutenant General Yang was shocked: "I promise to complete the task!"
——
But it was just a test, how could Ji Changying be afraid?
No matter what Zhonglizhou guessed, what could he do as he knew in his heart that Li Changmu and her had a complicated relationship?
He would never guess that Li Changmu and she were the same person.
Not to mention their height and appearance, even the way they behave in front of Zhongli Zhou is completely different.
She had intentionally concealed and erased all traces along the way. Unless the other party had X-ray vision, it would be impossible for them to guess that it was her.
She immediately wrote back and agreed.
Since the other party specifically told her the news, she might as well be frank.
While the people outside were still scratching their heads over grain seeds, the people in Xiaotian Village were already making a fortune in silence.
After hearing what Ji Fengshou said, everyone in Xiaotian Village, including his wife at home, watched the matter extremely closely and didn't let any of the news leak out.
When Song Ruqing was being pushed through the fields to relax, he saw the villagers working busily in the fields and was stunned: "What are they doing?"
Zhou said as a matter of course: "It must be farming!"
Song Ruqing was even more surprised: "There is a shortage of grain seeds, and the price is too high. Where do the people in Xiaotian Village get the grain seeds?"
A hint of pride appeared on Zhou's face. "But my Ah Ying is amazing. Her friends got quite a lot of it, and everyone in the village shared some!"
Song Ruqing also knew about Li Changmu's matter. After thinking about it for a while, she understood.
Looking at the old man bent over toiling in the fields, the woman with a red face still swinging her hoe, and the barefoot children plowing the fields, Song Ruqing fixed his eyes and ordered her, "Since that's the case, let's move the training to the fields. The team that plows the most land will win."
Zhou happily pushed her and ran back: "Okay!"
——
Ji Changying had only been in the fields for half a day when Ji Fengshou and Hu Shi disliked her:
"You're either playing in the mud or pulling weeds. You've only managed to do this little bit in half a day. You'd be better off coming home and cooking for us. Go back!"
Ji Fengshou couldn't hide the look of disgust on his face.
Ji Changying was unconvinced: "What are you talking about playing in the mud and pulling out weeds?! I was checking the soil quality! Whether crops grow well or not depends on the fertility of the soil. I was judging when to fertilize and when to water!"
"Okay, okay, okay, whatever my daughter says is fine." Ji Fengshou said perfunctorily and pushed Ji Changying to let her go home.
Mrs. Hu also waved her hand: "Go back, and call us when the meal is ready."
Seeing the two people's perfunctory expressions and obvious disbelief, Ji Changying angrily threw the dirt in his hands and turned away.
"Hey, I told you that you are not as good at working as Black Dog, and you still don't admit it!" Ji Fengshou pointed at her back and shouted.
Ji Changying was so angry that she ran away quickly and disappeared in a flash.
The twelve people looked at it numbly and continued to work on their tasks with their heads down.
She works during the day and undergoes devilish training at night. However, since the human body structure diagram that day, Old Huang has never come here again. She even has to boil the medicine by herself.
In the evening, Ji Changying was chased by the black dog as usual: "Silly dog! You can't catch up, you just can't catch up!"
During this period of time, Ji Changying made rapid progress, running and cursing the dog provocatively.
Relying on his agility, he would appear from the side of the black dog from time to time, knock on the dog's head and then run away quickly.
The angry black dog opened its mouth and could only bite the air, but it was helpless.
When they arrived at the city gate, Ji Changying jumped up as usual. Yi saw Liu Shicong resting in the courtyard, so she hurried over.
Once she puts on the black hood, she loves no one.
There was no accommodation in the shop, so Liu Shicong could only return to the courtyard to rest every night.
"How's the opening going?"
As soon as Ji Changying's elusive figure appeared, Liu Shicong was frightened.
He turned around with a bitter face: "Please, next time, can you not show up suddenly? I'm really afraid that I will die suddenly that day."
Looking at the dark circles under his eyes and the resentment in them, Ji Changying felt as if she had lost her conscience: "Then... I'll try my best?"
Liu Shicong thought she had agreed, and his expression instantly brightened, even showing a hint of excitement: "You know what? I didn't even have to advertise the grain seeds at this price. I only sold it to three people, and within two days, the whole Gan County knew about it! Now the grain seeds in our store are in short supply!"
As he spoke, he excitedly took out the account book and showed it to Ji Changying.
She took a quick look and found that in just a few days, she had earned more than one hundred taels!
"Very good. I came here today to tell you that you can leave the store's affairs to the clerk. I have a new task for you."
"Go to Hengtong Escort Agency, hire a few men, and personally escort a batch of grain to Liangzhou."
"Well done, you'll be one of us from now on. If anything goes wrong, the ten years you've been in my service will be over."
