According to Nanzhi's original plan, once the King of Qi had distributed all the grain, he would open the city gates and allow the refugees to pass through Yongzhou City.
Unfortunately, she's not sure now.
In the afternoon, two men dressed like soldiers arrived at the camp.
"Was that wolf from your household that appeared today?"
Nanzhi panicked; the wolf cubs had been spotted by these people.
Wu Yingqiu watched from afar.
“Yes, Officer, it’s theirs,” Wu Yingqiu pointed at Nanzhi, “It’s hers!”
The wolf appeared, and these officials came over; they must want to deal with her.
The visitor is not friendly.
Fortunately, the two wolves had already made the illusion of going out, but in reality, they were taken back into Nanzhi's space.
Nanzhi lifted the curtain and came out.
Qian Lanfang asked, "Why does the officer want to see the wolf cub?"
The official said arrogantly, "Bring the two wolves over here. Our King Qi wants to buy them."
He then threw fifty taels of silver on the ground.
Nan Zhi's face was gloomy. Even if she wanted to sell them, the price for two wolves would be five hundred taels each.
The King of Qi threw away fifty taels of silver; he clearly wanted to get something for nothing.
In short, it means bullying others by taking advantage of one's power.
Wu Nanshuang: "You're bullying us. A wolf outside can fetch at least five hundred taels of silver."
The official was impatient. "A bunch of refugees. The fact that the King of Qi is giving you fifty taels is already a great favor. There's nothing the King of Qi can't get. You'd better be sensible."
“Even officials can’t rob us commoners,” Qian Lanfang said, stretching out her hand and calculating, “Fifty taels and five hundred taels are ten times different!”
Nan Chunxian: "Why don't you just rob it!"
"Hey, don't be so ungrateful! Giving it to Prince Qi is a favor from the prince! Don't be so ungrateful!"
Nan Chungu scoffed, "We don't care about face. What's the value of the King of Qi's face?"
"You, you all, have rebelled!"
Nan Chungu: "Fuck you! This is my sister's property. You dare to steal it from any king? Don't you even look in the mirror? Whose territory is this?!"
"You, you all wait!"
The official left hastily after uttering a single sentence.
Nan Chungu was secretly pleased with himself, thinking that he could take care of these people all by himself without his elder sister having to lift a finger.
He turned around and found his whole family staring at him.
"W-what's wrong?" Nan Chungu looked down.
I was dressed neatly, but I hadn't showered in a long time and smelled a bit sour, but otherwise there was nothing wrong with me.
Qian Lanfang grabbed Nan Chungu's ear.
"He's a prince, how dare you make such threats!"
Nan Chungu retorted, "My sister is an official personally appointed by the Emperor. What is he, a mere prince, compared to her?"
Nan Chunxian sighed, "I really don't know what he's been learning all this time."
"Your Highness is a first-rank official, while my elder sister is only a fourth-rank official. Moreover, this prince is a member of the imperial family, the emperor's half-brother. What do you say, brother?"
"This." Nan Chungu's mouth dropped open.
Then she looked at Nanzhi and said, "Sister, I'm sorry, I think I've messed up."
It's all because of his foul mouth.
Zhou Chang came over, fanning himself with a fan. "Kid, the entire Yongzhou City belongs to the King of Qi. Yongzhou isn't very big either, only about the size of four or five Lingshan Counties."
Nan Chungu looked dejected, as if he had really messed up.
Nan Zhi laughed and said, "Don't scare him. Even if Chun Gu doesn't say anything, King Qi won't let us off the hook."
“That’s true, but,” Zhou Chang looked at him, “after learning from me for so many days, you still can’t distinguish between different official ranks. You’ll need to do more homework in the future.”
"Sir!" Nan Chungu exclaimed in frustration.
I wish I could seal my mouth shut.
Why do you love showing off so much?
The group returned to their tent and began discussing how to prepare for the King of Qi's retaliation.
"King Qi commands a large army and is a powerful local tyrant in Yongzhou. Moreover, he has a strategist named Zhong Chen under his command."
"The idea that King Qi could open the granaries and distribute grain must have come from Zhong Chen."
After listening to Song Hanyan's analysis, Nan Chunxian asked, "Brother-in-law, how many soldiers does he have?"
Song Hanyan: "Twenty thousand, of course, there are also elite soldiers trained privately."
He could execute these refugees silently if he wanted to.
Everyone was in low spirits.
"Are we really going to give Erbao and Sanbao to that old bastard?" Nan Chungu pouted, very dissatisfied.
"Of course not!" Zhou Chang said indignantly. "That old bald monk, how could he raise wolves? He'd rather buy them and eat them."
Erbao and Sanbao, who were in the space, heard this and silently made a note for King Qi.
After listening for a while, Qian Lanfang only knew that the other party was very powerful.
"What should we do then! If we can't hand over the wolf, he definitely won't let us pass."
"How about we..."
"Shut up!" Old Mrs. Nan snapped. "I won't give it to you."
She had developed feelings for the two wolves she had spent time with, and she would never give them up.
Qian Lanfang slapped her thigh and cried softly, "What should we do? If we can't get it out, the whole village will be implicated."
That hits the nail on the head.
After a long silence, Nanzhi spoke.
"If we can't do it openly, we have to do it covertly. Surprise is the key to victory."
The couple exchanged a glance and immediately understood what each other was thinking.
It was midnight again, and Nan Zhi used the power of space to bring Song Hanyan into Yongzhou City.
The sky was still overcast, and there were a few scattered pedestrians on the road.
When they reached a corner, Nanzhi put the person down.
Song Hanyan suddenly opened his eyes and found that he had arrived in another place.
He exclaimed in amazement, "The space between the branches is truly amazing."
Nan Zhi: "Of course! Alright, let's split up and get started."
