Chapter 95 We Are All One
These profound words stunned all the men under his command. The man who came up to report the news replied, "Yes!"
Then he went down the mountain again to convey the order.
Zhong Lizhou then put on a smiling face and sat down with Xie Siheng despite his men's attempts to stop him. "We've already met before, so if anything happens, there's no way we can escape. Hurry up and get out of the way so I can have a good chat with my cousin!"
Xie Siheng's expression softened a bit: "After not seeing you for so many years, my cousin is still so generous."
Zhongli Zhou scratched his head and said, "Hehe, a happy heart makes you fat and everything you eat tastes delicious."
Xie Siheng smiled and handed him a cup of tea.
"Cousin, you are here. Is Mo Yu nearby? Can you help me?"
Xie Siheng understood: "You say."
"Hey, can you please write a letter to my grandfather to tell him about what happened today? You know he has always disliked my father. If I tell him about this, it will be over—"
"My father will definitely investigate thoroughly and then hand over all the evidence and letters together."
"He's only thinking about Grandfather Huang, but Grandfather Huang might not be happy. He might even write a letter to scold my father after seeing these things!"
Zhong Lizhou could guess with his toes that this might have been done by one of his uncles.
He knew it, but he couldn't let his father, the emperor's least favored son, speak about it!
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
When the Emperor saw the evidence, he was like, "Well, my favorite sons are trying to rebel against me, and they were caught by my eldest son, whom I dislike the most. How embarrassing!"
Then he would definitely take his anger out on his least favored son, as this had happened before.
What Zhonglizhou could think of, Xie Siheng also thought of.
The situation of my uncle, King Ping, has always been a bit... difficult.
Xie Siheng readily agreed, took out a piece of paper and pen, wrote down the current situation in a few words, attached the address, and called Mo Yu to ask it to run again.
Zhongli Zhou looked at Mo Yu flying away with some envy. His own grandson was not treated as well as his cousin's grandson!
I'm so envious...
At night, they made a fire and cooked on the spot, and everyone was very willing to do so.
All the food that they had treasured for a long time and had not been willing to eat was taken out, and those who did not have a pot took the food and shared it with those who had a pot.
"We all have plenty of food now, so we can eat as much as we want. We should live one day at a time. Let's be more positive!"
The clan leader sighed and asked Grandma Wang to mix all the white flour in the house, intending to eat a meal of white steamed buns before he died.
Seeing that the clan leader had done so, the people of the Ji family stopped being stingy and took out all the good things in the house: "Eat! Even if we die, we will die well-fed!"
Mrs. Hu also generously steamed a large pot of white rice, fried all the meat that she had saved from her previous meal, and soaked all the dried vegetables, intending to eat them all today.
Seeing this, Ji Changying was so happy that she took out all the dozen eggs she had saved in her space and gave them to Hu: "We won't be too happy either, eat as much as you want!"
When Mrs. Hu saw that Ah Ying had secretly hidden so many eggs, a flash of heartache flashed through her heart.
But thinking about his current situation, he made up his mind and beat them all: "Eat it! It's just a dozen eggs!"
My life is about to be lost, what’s the point of an egg!
In the evening, the family had the best meal they had ever had.
If you are not full of rice, you can keep steaming it. It has meat, eggs and vegetables.
Ji Mingxue ate while howling, "Don't do this, I'm scared! Isn't this the last meal for execution?"
Zhou's chopsticks were swung so hard that they left shadows. "Whatever the hell, let's eat the food first. It smells so good!"
They ate with such relish that the people from the nearby Gale Team felt hungry.
The next day, Ji's men followed Zhonglizhou's convoy with a fearless look on their faces and set off for Liangzhou.
Wang Lin's legs felt like they were filled with lead. "Boss, we've already handed the person over to the Crown Prince. Can we not go?"
"We haven't even gotten the official stamp yet, so what are we going to bring back to Beijing?"
Given a choice, who would want to go?
When the Gale Team set out, there were more than 200 people, and when they returned, there were nearly a thousand people.
Ji Changying rode a horse along the way, and Hu led Ji's female relatives to sew simple masks as they walked with nimble hands and feet.
Zhong Lizhou came over curiously and said, "Your mule cart is really weird. Why is it so square and wide? And it has four small wheels on the front and back!"
Ji Changying was a little proud: "We specially modified this! It's much more comfortable inside!"
Zhongli Zhou still believed this.
"Hey, why are you and your mother so strong?"
Ji Changying glanced at him and said, "I have a name. My name is Ji Changying!"
Zhonglizhou saw her displeasure and responded: "Miss Ji, how come you and your mother are so strong?"
"It's natural." Ji Changying raised the corners of his mouth and became even more proud.
Zhongli Zhou couldn't hide his envious eyes. "You guys are so lucky, are you and your mother interested in working in Prince Ping's Mansion?"
"What?" Ji Changying looked at him puzzledly.
"Be my mother's personal guard. Just follow her wherever she goes. Your main task is to protect her. How about that?"
Ji Changying had no interest in this kind of job that lacked personal freedom: "Not very good."
Zhonglizhou coughed:
"There are many kinds of exile. I don't know why you weren't sent to slavery, but your life wouldn't be much better if you were sent there. People like you would usually be sent to build city walls or do menial labor."
"Working hard every day is not only harmful to your health, but you'll become exhausted after a few days! If you go to the palace to work, we're all family, and I can still make the decisions on these matters."
Ji Changying was a little moved, but when she touched the letter from the Tongzhou governor to Captain Kou in her arms, she felt relieved in an instant.
"Didn't your uncle once hold a high position? If he were to work in our palace, we'd all be family. Wouldn't it be easy to assign him an easy job?"
Ji Changying glanced sideways.
"Besides, we are all family now. Letting you, the Ji family, be ordinary people and be assigned to a village is not a small matter, right?"
Zhongli Zhou kept adding chips.
He also made up his mind to bring them to the palace to take care of his mother.
But there is a difference between voluntary and forced care.
"If it really doesn't work, one of you can go!"
Ji Changying's eyes lit up: "Just wait! I'll go ask my mother!"
After she said that, she rode her horse twice and jumped directly from the horse onto the shaft of the cart, scaring the people in the cart.
"You're so impulsive! You're such a grown-up girl, but you still don't know how to be steady!" The needle in Hu's hand almost pricked herself, and she couldn't help but poke Ji Changying's forehead to teach her a lesson.
Ji Changying covered her forehead and didn't care. She said happily, "I have good news to tell you!"
