Seeing her like this, the man hurriedly said, "Don't go, talk to me properly. Five hundred taels won't do, four hundred taels." When she didn't listen, he continued, "Three hundred taels!" and even ran forward to stop her.
"You should think carefully about whether you want to buy it or not. You originally said it would cost three hundred taels, so I won't argue with you since I need it, but it's not like I absolutely have to buy it."
"Don't be angry, young lady. I'll get the three hundred taels right now. Wait for me, don't go anywhere." After saying this, the man quickly ran home and soon returned with a black horse.
When An Shuyi saw him run into the yard, she didn't insist on leaving anymore. Instead, she stood aside and waited. She left so that he would feel that she wasn't stupid and wouldn't be taken advantage of.
I'm keeping it because I really need that horse, and I know he won't refuse to sell it.
After waiting a while, the man brought out the horse. "Miss, the horse is out now, it's yours."
He handed him the gold ingot, pulled the rope, mounted the horse, and rode away. But he had only ridden for a short while when it got dark, so he had to find an open space to spend the night.
She took out a box of food from the warehouse and ate it while thinking about how Hua Hua and the others were doing. She wondered if they would try to find her if they knew she had transmigrated.
But then she thought it was impossible, since she might have died after being hit, and they wouldn't know she had traveled through time. Sigh, the fairy sighed.
The next morning, I took out water to wash up, ate a bowl of oil-splashed noodles, and continued riding my horse towards the county town. By evening, I had arrived in the county town. Looking at the familiar place, even though a long time had passed, I still remembered this place.
Border Town, where Yu Bai was stationed. If Wen Shi were here, he should be at the border, passing directly through Border Town to the camp.
Although it was already dark, she was still worried about Wen Shi and Yan Zhen. She needed to know the specifics of the situation before she could feel at ease.
"Stop! Who are you? This is a military camp, you are not allowed to approach. Leave immediately!" The soldier saw her, pointed his gun at her, and told her to leave.
An Shuyi jumped off her horse. "Is your general in the camp? Please inform him that An Ruoxi has come to see him about something very important."
Her age is not right now, and she can't be called Wenshi's mother, only his name. All she needs to do is hear it and come out. If he doesn't come out, then don't blame her for breaking in.
"Young lady, it's too late now. Come back tomorrow!"
"It's urgent. If I could wait until tomorrow, I wouldn't need to come now. Hurry up! If my business is delayed, you're all doomed!"
Seeing her like this, the soldier had no choice but to nod in agreement. "You stay here and watch over her. I'll go in and report to the general." With that, he ran inside.
Not long after, a person rushed out from inside, looking very anxious. When he ran back in, it was Wen Shi. Five years had passed since they last met, and he had aged considerably.
"Mother?" Wen Shi looked at the girl who looked just like his mother when she was young and was a little slow to react, so he blurted out the name.
Seeing how silly he was, An Shuyi laughed and said, "Kid, you call everyone 'Mom'. Aren't you afraid of calling the wrong person? Hurry up and tell them to let me in. They need to talk to you."
It seems he still remembers what his mother looks like.
Lin Wenshi nodded. "Please lock up the horse properly. This way, please." He then stood aside and waited for her to come forward before following behind.
Although he didn't know if this person was his mother, his inherent upbringing prevented him from walking ahead of her.
Once inside the tent, she couldn't wait to ask, "Are you really...my mother?"
"Whether she is your mother or not is not important. Tell me quickly why Zhu Daniu would rebel. He was such an honest child before, he could never do such a thing."
"Also, why haven't you reacted at all, even though he has already captured two cities? And you are still in the camp, not sending any troops out at all."
She just wants to know what kind of couple they are. As for her mother's business, she'll deal with that later. Anyway, her body isn't her mother's now, so it's fine if she doesn't call out to her.
Hearing this tone, Lin Wenshi knew that this was his mother, without a doubt. Of course, she wasn't his biological mother, but she was better than his biological mother.
"Zhu Daniu has indeed rebelled. As for why he didn't send troops, it was Yan Zhen who instructed him. He didn't want the people to suffer, so he voluntarily gave up the two cities. Mother, don't worry, the people in Luoxu City have already left the next city."
“As long as Zhu Daniu attacks, death awaits him. As for the soldiers, only a portion listen to him, while the other portion listens to Third Brother. They only pretend to listen to him because they don’t want the people to suffer.”
Third Brother trusted him too much. When they were attacking the people from beyond the Great Wall, they were ambushed. Fortunately, they were rescued by the secret guards arranged by Mother. However, the other generals were killed.
An Shuyi was relieved upon hearing this. "How is your third brother?"
It's good that nothing's wrong. She was so worried. She thought that after being on the throne for several years, she would have to give it up.
"Third Brother is alright, he's in the tent over there. Mother, would you like to go check on him?"
"Go check on him, is he badly injured?"
"It was quite serious. It was stabbed in from behind and injured my heart. I may not be able to do any strenuous activities in the future, nor can I fight while I'm sick. I feel much better now, and I've regained consciousness today."
“As long as he is alive, it doesn’t matter if he can’t lead troops into battle. Zhu Daniu rebelled, what about Zhu Hunter’s family? He can’t just abandon his own family.”
Lin Wenshi said, "Zhu the hunter died two years ago. As for those brothers, they were sent away from the village long before he wanted to rebel. Yan Zhen sent people to find them, and they were found in Jincheng."
"It's as if they knew all along that Zhu Daniu would rebel. In order to prevent the news of Taoyuan Village from getting out, they went to the underworld two days ago. Now only Zhu Daniu's wife and son are alive."
The affairs of their village cannot be told to others. Although their mother and aunt are no longer alive, if they were to be told, the entire village would be unsafe, in order to prevent the recurrence of people like Aunt Zhu Niu.
The children from the village have now moved to Jinnan City, gotten married and have children, and are all living elsewhere. They can only go back home during festivals each year. As for their wives and husbands, they are only allowed to go after careful inspection to make sure there are no problems.
"It would be better if he were dead. Did Hunter Zhu die suddenly?"
"I don't know the details, but when Zhu the hunter died, Zhu Daniu was at home and in good health."
"It seems that Hunter Zhu also knew about Zhu Daniu's plot to rebel. Either he died on his own, or his son killed him. What a pity."
"Mother, are you saying that Zhu Daniu was already plotting a rebellion two years ago?"
"The rebellion wasn't something I suddenly decided to do; it was something I'd planned long ago. Didn't it take Yan Zhen more than ten years to rise to power?"
“Mother is right!” He pulled back the tent flap to let his mother in, then lit the oil lamp, and then saw his third brother open his eyes.
