Chapter 81 Love Talk



The date of return to Beijing is scheduled for ten days later.

After Song Wan and his companions left, the others also wanted to leave after the potato harvest. They decided to stay in Xinzhou temporarily.

Zhang Sheng's people now have full control over Xinzhou, which is currently the safest place.

After two years in Guizhou, we are leaving suddenly and everyone is a little reluctant.

Song Zhaoyuan was most concerned about his two acres of land. After thinking it over, he said, "No, I must come back to supervise Yao Xu and Tan Min's work when the rice is harvested."

He was afraid that they would slack off if he, the supervisor, was not around.

Tan Min was escorted here by Prince Yi Li Lin after the incident with Prince Yu years ago. He happened to learn from Yao Lizhen, who came to Yizhou to help plant potatoes, that once one enters Qiandi, no matter if they are highly skilled secret guards or ordinary servants, they cannot escape that one-third acre of land.

Locking someone up in a dungeon requires someone to watch over him and deliver food to him every day. Apart from rarely seeing the sun, this life is no better than being a subordinate who runs around for others.

Li Lin didn't want him to die like this, nor did he want him to live comfortably, so he simply sent him to Guizhou to work for them for free.

Gu Xun agreed, "When we have grain from the fields, we won't have to spend money to buy it in Xinzhou."

It is not easy for children to make money. From being a prefect to a general and then to a prince, they are about to make trouble again.

As elders, they cannot waste money and cause trouble in the rear.

"Dad, do you like farming?" Song Wan asked.

"Farming is so good! Planting more land means more food. Soldiers on the border can have more meals, win more battles, and fewer people die." Song Zhaoyuan is forty-two years old this year. He was thrown onto the battlefield by his father, the former Marquis of Weiyuan, when he was fourteen. He fought for nearly thirty years. The people were displaced and suffered, the soldiers were stained with blood on the battlefield, and those who survived were either missing an arm or a leg.

"Then when A Yu's matter is over, I will buy Dad a few thousand acres of land, and then you can plant whatever you want!" Song Wan is rich now, but still short of food. If he wants to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, he must save enough food.

Song Zhaoyuan twitched his lips, "Ah Wan, do you want to tire me, your own father, to death?"

Song Wan had no idea about this. She thought for a moment and said, "How about buying you three or five more people to help you plant the crops?"

It’s best to find someone who doesn’t eat much, not like Niu Tiedan yesterday, who ate six big bowls of rice, five plates of meat, and four plates of vegetables after the competition.

It was the first time that Song Wan met someone who ate more than she did. She was really afraid that he would burst his stomach.

Song Zhaoyuan: ...

With three or five people cultivating thousands of acres of land, my father was probably only concerned with teaching Awan martial arts.

As the day of returning to the capital drew near, the five thousand men who would accompany them were finally selected, all of whom were experts in fighting one against a hundred.

It's just a pity for the more than one hundred people brought by Li Songzhi. Song Wan heard that some of them were not satisfied with not being selected and insisted on competing with the last few people who were selected.

Within an hour, they competed to see who could defeat the most guards, so that the guards around Li Songzhi seemed to have become their human sandbags, being tossed around and injured.

When Song Wan found out, she was beaten so badly that she was lying on the bed, unable to get up. She was too embarrassed to argue with Li Songzhi anymore, feeling guilty.

Song Wan took the silver to find Li Songzhi. Her men beat his men so badly that they couldn't get out of bed, and she had to pay for their medical expenses.

Even if there were more than a hundred people, even if each person paid one tael of silver, it would still cost more than a hundred taels of electricity. Moreover, she knew her people well, and one tael of silver could at most allow them to move from lying down to sitting.

When Song Wan came over, Gu Yu was practicing calligraphy. When he saw her, he put down his pen and said in surprise, "Sister Wan!"

She came over with a large purse of silver and asked, "Where is your talkative teacher?"

It turned out that he was looking for the teacher. Gu Yu replied with a hint of disappointment, "The teacher just went into the room to get the book."

"Ahem!" Li Songzhi came out from the inner room holding a pile of books and squinted at her.

Being caught in the act, Song Wan looked unhappy. She reluctantly put down the silver in her arms and said, "This is money for their medical treatment."

In addition to the silver, there were also several silver notes with a face value of two hundred taels. Song Wan found them from the gap when he was packing the silver. It was probably brought in accidentally when he moved.

Being able to spend some money and use banknotes instead, Song Wan finally felt less painful.

Li Songzhi's brows twitched, and he suddenly wanted to tease him, "How many are there in total?"

Why did she have to say it out loud? Song Wan felt a pang of pain in her heart. "One thousand taels."

Li Songzhi's expression turned serious, "Each person can't even get a hundred taels."

Song Wan: "You think it's too little? Then I won't give it to you!"

After saying that, he went to pick up the silver.

"Hey! Wait!" Li Songzhi couldn't pretend anymore and stepped forward to grab the silver that was about to fly away. Why didn't she play by the rules? "One thousand taels is one thousand taels!"

You should know that today we spent seven or eight hundred taels just to buy medicine for their injuries, not counting the doctor's fees.

No one knew what the hell Song Wan's men were doing with their fists. They all hit as hard as they could, but none of them caused fatal injuries.

Song Wan snorted. If it weren't for the fact that using her mental power on 150 people would be too obvious, she wouldn't have to spend a penny now.

No, I have to go back and give them another hundred laps to see if they dare to disobey orders and seriously injure others again.

It doesn't matter if you get hurt, but don't hit someone you know. If you hit her, the captain, you will have to pay compensation. If I had known this day would come, I would not have gotten so close to Li Songzhi.

If Li Songzhi knew what Song Wan was thinking, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.

When Gu Yan learned that Song Wan had gone to find Li Song with 1,000 taels of silver, he was already on his way back to Beijing.

Two people rode a horse each and walked at the front of the team.

Gu Yan asked her anxiously, "Are you willing to spend so much money?"

Song Wan took a big bite of the roasted chicken in her hand. She had caught it in the nearby woods during the lunch break.

"Of course I couldn't bear to part with it! I was so heartbroken at the time!" Song Wan had never suffered such a big loss since she was reborn. "So, this time, I gave each of them ten taels of silver."

The five thousand people selected did not go with them, but formed their own teams and disguised themselves as ordinary people to enter the capital.

It would be difficult to get from Guizhou to the capital city within the time required by Song Wan with ten taels of silver per person.

"Aren't you afraid that they won't be able to hold on and will desert?" Gu Yan anxiously saw the oil stains at the corners of her mouth and habitually raised her hand to help her wipe them off.

Song Wan stopped and tilted her head to look at him, her eyes serious. "He wants to be a deserter at this level, which means he is not suitable to be my team member."

Gu Yan smiled anxiously, "Awan is right, this trip is also a test."

This was exactly what Song Wan was thinking. She nodded and said, "Besides, with their abilities, they shouldn't be unable to reach the capital."

Gu Yan was anxiously curious, "What did Wan think they would do?"

Song Wan threw away the roasted chicken that had been gnawed to the bone, wiped the grease off her hands with the handkerchief Gu Yanji handed her, and said matter-of-factly, "From Guizhou to the capital, there are so many mountains. I don't believe there isn't even a real bandit's nest."

Her words suddenly reminded Gu Yanji of the scene when they first met on Qingyun Mountain.

At that time, he never thought that he would fall in love with the "female bandit" who had stripped his clothes in the near future.

"Awan, did you feel regretful that you didn't rob the real bandits when you were in Qingyun Mountain?" Gu Yanji suddenly wanted to know the answer to this question and looked at her intently.

Song Wan thought about it seriously and said, "It's a pity, but not a big one."

Gu Yanji automatically ignored the first half of the sentence and continued to ask her, "What do you mean by not very sorry?"

Song Wan: "Because those women's cooking skills are really good, after I finish the matter in the capital, I want to ask them if they are willing to come back with me and become the cooks in the mansion."

Gu Yan was anxious: "...It's gone?"

Song Wan pondered for a long time and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"What about me?" Gu Yan asked her seriously, "Am I not an unexpected surprise to you?"

Song Wan's eyes met his. At this moment, Gu Yanji was like the calico cat that she had raised in the orphanage before. She was arrogant, but at the same time she really wanted to be noticed.

"Are you jealous?" Song Wan judged based on her past experience of watching dramas.

Gu Yan was so anxious that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His girl finally realized that she had forgotten him, but she was so slow in doing so.

"Shouldn't I be jealous?" Gu Yanji said with a helpless smile in his eyes.

"Of course you can, but don't be too unreasonable." Song Wan imitated the words and actions she learned from TV and raised his chin. "You are the cutest when you are a little bit well behaved."

When his chin was suddenly touched, Gu Yan's eyes flashed with shock and confusion. Where did his Ah Wan learn these words from?

So Gu Yan anxiously asked, "Ah Wan, besides saying these things to me, has she said them to anyone else?"

Song Wan shook her head. She had just learned and applied what she had learned. Judging from his expression, it should be effective. She thought about it and decided to keep trying to appease him in one go.

"I only like you." Usually the male protagonists in TV dramas like to confess like this. Song Wan directly used it to appease Gu Yan, "No matter in the past or in the future, there is only you."

You should be happy now, right? Usually, when the heroine hears the hero's confession, she will be moved to tears and then give him a loving kiss.

But Gu Yanji didn't seem to cry, and kept staring at her. What was going on? Song Wan touched the corners of her mouth and chin unconsciously. There was no chicken scraps this time.

Is it because of the lack of a loving kiss?

The more Song Wan thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. Don't fairy tales always say that a kiss from a prince can turn a princess from a vegetative state back into a normal person?

She glanced at Gu Yanji and saw that he seemed to be sealed, without even moving his eyes.

Song Wan pursed her lips, suddenly used her lightness skills, and at the same time used her mental power to control her feet on the horse's back.

With a "bo" sound, Song Wan leaned over and kissed Gu Yanji seriously on the lips.

Before Gu Yanji could recover from her words, he was distracted by her sudden intimate action and even forgot to control the direction of the horse.

"Awan, you just... kissed me?" After realizing this, Gu Yanji's earlobes turned red instantly.

Song Wan sat back on the horse, put one hand behind her back, raised her chin slightly, and nodded in acknowledgement under his gaze, "I kissed you."

It seems that fairy tales are not all lies to children. At least they are very effective in relieving Gu Yan's anxiety.

"If you like it, I will kiss you more in the future." Song Wan thought for a moment and came up with another protagonist's confession line.

Gu Yan's face flushed slightly, "Ah Wan, I should take the initiative in this matter."

After he finished speaking, he glanced coldly at Gu Wu and Song Qi who were driving the carriage behind him. The two of them sensed something and immediately looked away, not daring to look again.

Song Wan frowned, "You don't like me kissing you?"

Gu Yan anxiously said, "...I like it."

The ears became even redder.

The author has something to say:

My brain and computer were having some problems today, so I didn't succeed in making it to six...
