This is clearly a deliberate slacking off!
The guards couldn't take it anymore and roared, "If you keep dawdling like this this afternoon, don't blame my blade for being merciless!"
As he spoke, he deliberately drew his knife to scare her!
Ding Zhaodi was indeed shocked.
But she wasn't intimidated into working faster; she knew to get the helpers to work with her!
Who is this person?
Needless to say, it must be Xie Shuyan!
Xie Shuyan was overjoyed to hear that he could go to his wife's house. Despite his injuries, he ran as fast as he could.
He called out as soon as he entered, "Wife..."
Tian Guoguo had just been woken up by the aroma of pig offal in the kitchen, and groggily went out to wash her face.
Xie Shuyan suddenly ran over and grabbed her little hand.
"Wife, look at me, look at me..."
As she spoke, she circled around in front of Tian Guoguo, then continued, "I told you yesterday I was fine, you see..."
"I'm all better today!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, his legs gave way and he stumbled, almost falling over!
Thank you...
Ahem, that's not the point!
He started talking to his wife like a chatterbox...
"Honey, have you eaten yet?"
What did you eat?
"I ate sweet potatoes for lunch today, haha, I'll let you in on a little secret, I secretly ate one before my mom came back..."
"I ate two at noon today!"
Ding Zhaodi has never liked Xie Shuyan, and she often skimps on his meals!
For Xie Shuyan, being able to eat two sweet potatoes is really a lot!
Tian Guoguo felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this.
She didn't mind what Xie Shuyan said, and listened silently while walking to the water tank to wash her face. Then she got up and pulled Xie Shuyan to the kitchen.
She hasn't had lunch yet.
It's a good opportunity to invite Xie Shuyan to have some too.
My second uncle also went to the city today and bought a lot of pastries.
She said, "My second uncle bought a lot of...pastries, I'll take you...to eat them."
The little guy still speaks a bit slowly, but it's much better than before.
Xie Shuyan was so happy when he heard that his wife was going to bring him pastries that he almost flew away. He even wanted to carry his wife into the house quickly.
result…
He had just reached out his hand when Tian Yiming grabbed his collar!
The chubby boy, full of bravado, asked, "What are you going to do?"
As he spoke, he reached out to pull his younger sister away, determined not to let her be taken advantage of by that pig from the Xie family!
Xie Shuyan was not afraid of him!
While forcefully shaking him off, he immediately pulled his wife behind him to protect her, and then turned to Tian Yiming, raising his head and loudly questioning him.
What are you going to do?
Wow, they're really going to carry this!
How could Tian Yiming possibly indulge him?
He rolled up his sleeves, ready to pounce on Xie Shuyan and fight!
Xie Shuyan was not intimidated and rolled up his sleeves as well…
But before he could even roll up his sleeves, Ding Zhaodi dragged him away!
As Ding Zhaodi dragged him away, she cursed and swore, "I sent you here to work, what are you dawdling about?"
"Hurry up, help me fill this water vat!"
With the guards watching, Ding Zhaodi dared not shirk her work, so she decided to do less and let Xie Shuyan do more!
Xie Shuyan did not resist.
He's happy to do chores for his wife's family!
With her small frame, she deftly and skillfully picked up the carrying pole and followed her mother out the door.
This made Tian Yiming extremely proud.
Standing in front of his sister, he kept making faces at Xie Shuyan and mocking him, saying he must have chickened out!
Otherwise, how come he left as soon as his mother pulled him?
It's a pity he didn't get to show off for long.
Xie Shuyan had just left with his mother carrying a shoulder pole when General Cui arrived.
General Cui returned with the second and fourth sons of the Tian family, who had entered the city again at noon.
Grandma Tian thought that General Cui had helped their family so much, and they should treat him to a meal to thank him properly.
But they were also afraid that General Cui wouldn't be willing to come...
The old lady prepared some pig offal, and asked Tian Lao Er to go to the city to buy some gifts, as well as the rabbits that the family had previously been reluctant to eat, to take to General Cui.
Tian Lao Er agreed and went.
Coincidentally, when he arrived at General Cui's residence, General Cui had just returned home.
After bringing those men in black back to the prison yesterday, General Cui intended to interrogate them today, but before he could even do so…
Then someone came to the prison and said that the men in black were all dead.
The cause of death was poisoning.
But the coroners in Kyoto couldn't determine what kind of poison they had been given.
He went to the prison, but there was nothing he could do. He was having a headache over this matter when he heard that Tian Lao Er wanted to invite him to the Tian family for dinner.
Of course he'll come!
As soon as he arrived at the Tian family's door, he saw Xie Shuyan carrying a shoulder pole.
The little guy isn't even as tall as a carrying pole!
General Cui immediately became anxious and hurriedly stopped Xie Shuyan and his guards, asking them what they were doing.
The guards explained the whole story.
General Cui's face darkened.
He reprimanded the guard, "What did I say yesterday? She can only do the work herself, and she's not allowed to let anyone else do it for her!"
How dare the guards argue?
He hurriedly agreed and chased after Ding Zhaodi.
General Cui then gave Yang Zhao, who was accompanying him, a wink, and Yang Zhao immediately stepped forward and took the carrying pole from Xie Shuyan's small shoulder.
Xie Shuyan wanted to say that he was capable of doing the work…
Just as he was about to speak, General Cui pulled him into the courtyard, saying he would take him and his wife somewhere.
As for where it is?
This was not decided by General Cui, but by Xie Shuyan.
But before that, Xie Shuyan wants to show off a little.
While General Cui was greeting Old Lady Tian and the others, Xie Shuyan frantically made faces at Tian Yiming and even spat at him!
Tian Yiming was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves again...
Xie Shuyan also rolled up his sleeves!
Just like before, before they could even exchange a move, Xie Shuyan was pulled away!
Tian Guoguo was also taken away.
That won't do!
Tian Yiming immediately panicked!
He was about to give chase on his short legs, but Yang Zhao stopped him, saying, "Our general has something to discuss with them. You'll have to wait here."
Tian Yiming disagreed.
Why can that idiot Xie Shuyan go, but he's so smart and can't?
He wanted to resist, "I..."
As a result, he was met with Yang Zhao's angry glare as soon as he opened his mouth.
Tian Yiming…
The little boy, his short legs trembling, turned a corner and "whoosh" quickly ran into his brothers' room.
Just wait, he'll go get reinforcements right away!
at the same time.
The inner room.
With no one else in the room, General Cui went straight to the point and asked Xie Shuyan, "Do you still have any of those flammable stones?"
Tian Guoguo was slightly taken aback by these words.
Her large, grape-like eyes instinctively looked at General Cui.
General Cui met her gaze and nodded slightly.
Tian Guoguo understood instantly.
Last time, she told General Cui about the method of making earth mines, in which the two essential raw materials are sulfur and saltpeter.
General Cui knew about both of these materials.
He said at the time that he would have his guards search everywhere.
Saltpeter can not only be used to make ice, but also as a flint to start fires and to make explosives.
The flammable stones that General Cui mentioned must be saltpeter!
Xie Shuyan nodded, "Yes."
He then poured all the saltpeter from his pocket into General Cui's hands, saying, "Here you go."
General Cui…
Honestly, I was a bit stunned.
The saltpeter that his guards couldn't find anywhere seemed to fill a whole bag easily with Xie Shuyan!
Should he be angry or amused?
Regardless of General Cui's intentions, Tian Guoguo was overjoyed.
This is saltpeter!
