Seeing the girl's resolute attitude, the boy said nothing more.
Meanwhile, Qi Nuan couldn't find anyone and had to give up. Just as she was about to head home, she ran into Jiang Yu and the others who were on their way back.
Jiang Yu spotted Qi Nuan from afar and pulled her onto the horse.
"Little Mudball, what are you doing here?"
"Oh, I came out to find Sister Qingqing and the others. Is this the horse you bought? It's so handsome!" Qi Nuan exclaimed, stroking the smooth mane.
Jiang Yu and Jiang Ming each rode a horse, while Wang Er drove the carriage. The two horses they rode were truly tall and mighty, with glossy coats, much better than their own horse.
It can be described as a contrast between elite successful people and homeless children.
Jiang Yu ignored her words and only instructed, "Don't go out alone in the future."
Jiang Ming looked at the two of them, then gazed into the depths of the woods, something flashing in his eyes, but he remained silent.
"Oh, right, Zhang Liao is here."
Of course, I had to tell Jiang Yu about this important matter.
"Um."
Qi Nuan was very curious when she saw that Jiang Yu only responded with a sound and did not show any emotional fluctuation. What could make him react so strongly?
He sighed inwardly, realizing that his cultivation was still lacking.
Meanwhile, when Ahua saw Qingqing and the others return but didn't see Qi Nuan, she asked, "Where's Xiao Niba?"
"I don't know, I didn't see it," Qingqing said naturally.
Xiao Xing glanced at the girl but didn't say anything.
Just as Ahua was about to go out to look for Qi Nuan, she heard Qi Nuan's voice, "Sister Ahua, Ayu and the others are back."
Upon seeing the horses that Jiang Yu and the others were riding, Zhang Liao's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
These days, horses aren't easy to buy, especially good ones.
After everyone had eaten, they gathered together to discuss matters.
Zhang Liao looked at Jiang Yu and said, "Since you want to take me in, do you know my identity?"
"Whether you know or not, it doesn't matter. Your identity is irrelevant to me. All you need to know is that from the moment you chose me, you became one of my people."
Jiang Yu's words were so domineering that Zhang Liao couldn't help but say seriously, "Even if I choose you, I will do my utmost to serve you."
"Then what is your view on the current situation, sir?"
Looking at the boy's cold and stern face, and recalling the note the boy had given him that day, Zhang Liao pondered and said:
"When the king loses his throne, the whole world chases after it."
So what should we do now?
"People, money, and food are all indispensable."
Upon seeing this, Qi Nuan presented the potatoes and corn she was holding.
"Sir, please look. This item is what I traded with a merchant. It came from the West."
Jiang Yu pointed to the potato in his hand and said, "This is called a potato. One acre can yield at least a thousand catties."
Before Zhang Liao could reply, he said, "This thing is called corn. It can produce at least 500 catties per mu. Both of them are drought-resistant."
"Is this really true?" Zhang Liao was greatly surprised.
“We have already verified it, now come with me.”
Jiang Yu led the people to the warehouse, which contained about 500 jin of potatoes and 200 jin of corn.
Two years ago, they were just a handful.
Zhang Liao was overjoyed, a flash of inspiration striking him: "Were these the two items on the table just now?"
Jiang Yu smiled, "Exactly."
With these two items, there's no reason why we can't accomplish great things.
Zhang Liao said, "The Imperial Observatory has said that there will be a major disaster in the next three years, and the people are currently suffering. We should make preparations as soon as possible."
Qi Nuan thought that the Imperial Observatory was indeed quite capable, but no one listened to them. Those in power either listened to what they should or shouldn't have, so success or failure was just a matter of a single thought.
She looked at Jiang Yu, puzzled. She thought she knew him quite well, but it seemed that she had been wishful thinking. She wondered how many things there were still unknown to her.
Located in the far north of Zhou State, this place is hot in summer and cold in winter. Surrounded by high mountains, it is not suitable for people to live in, and most of the people here are exiles.
"What I mean is that we still need to move south as soon as possible to occupy a favorable position."
"That's natural, but it might not be easy to travel if we were to carry these things with us."
Jiang Yu looked at Zhang Liao and said very frankly, "The important thing is that none of us have household registration."
In this era, people without household registration had no identity and could become slaves to others at any time.
Jiang Yu and Zhang Liao were registered residents, but they could both be considered criminals of the imperial court, and if they were discovered, they would only face death.
"Don't worry about that, I can handle it, but I want to see their capabilities and whether they're worth my time."
Zhang Liao had only been there for an afternoon, but he had already figured out their situation clearly.
Of course, his purpose in saying this was not only to see the strength of everyone, but more importantly, to see Jiang Yu's attitude.
Jiang Yu looked at him with deep, unfathomable eyes.
"How can one judge a person by a single appearance? With such great talent, you should not be so narrow-minded."
Zhang Liao laughed and said, "I was just anxious, I hope you won't take offense, young master."
"I will certainly get the matter settled in just one day."
Jiang Yu turned to look at everyone, "You all heard my conversation with the master. In three days, regardless of whether things succeed or not, we will leave. You will have to consider what to do next."
Wang Er was somewhat surprised and suspicious. He naturally wanted everyone to stay together, but why did they have to leave?
Jiang Ming smiled nonchalantly, "Wherever Brother Yu and Xiao Niba go, I'll go too."
Ahua laughed and said, "Of course I'll take care of Little Mud."
"I want to be with Sister Ahua too." It was Xiangxiang's voice.
Qingqing pursed her lips, looked at Jiang Ming, and said, "Wherever you go, I'll go."
Feeling Qingqing's gaze, Jiang Ming's smile faded.
"I'll go with everyone." Xiaoxing quickly agreed upon hearing Qingqing's words.
Amu didn't say anything, but everyone knew what he meant.
Seeing that everyone was about to leave, Wang Er naturally said nothing more.
Of course, no one asked Qi Nuan's opinion. They all assumed that she and Jiang Yu were together. Thinking about it, she really felt like she had no presence at all. Qi Nuan pinched Jiang Yu's hand hard.
But her grip was weaker than a mosquito's, so Jiang Yu naturally didn't feel any pain.
However, she didn't expect that she would also be able to get her share of gossip within this small team.
Watching them play out their love game of "you love me, I love him," she found it quite amusing. Considering they were young and full of life, it was normal for them to develop feelings for each other.
But thinking that she never experienced the pain of love until her death, I instantly lost my joy.
That's all, time to sleep.
In the shadows, Jiang Ming looked at Qingqing with a cold expression.
"I hope you think things through before you act, because some mistakes are unacceptable."
Seeing Jiang Ming's cold expression, Qingqing was already very upset, and when she heard what he said, her temper flared up instantly.
"What did I do? What mistake did I make?"
