"Le Le!" Le Zheng snapped angrily. Could it be that his daughter hung out with a bunch of men every day and got used to dirty jokes? Why wasn't she ashamed at all?
Le Le wasn't afraid of Le Zheng's anger. She laughed, "Daddy, I won't disturb you anymore. I'm going to set off the fireworks!"
At this time, Ning Cheng had already drunk Shaqiu. He bent down and was about to tear off Shaqiu's clothes when he seemed to think of something.
He got up and slashed Shaqiu's clothes with his sword energy. Then, he tossed the bedding over without even looking at Shaqiu.
He lay down on the warm couch and closed his eyes to rest.
But not long after, the fireworks outside the window woke him up. He looked at the fireworks that were constantly blooming and disappearing, and gradually fell into deep thought.
He thought that Le Zheng wouldn't use this method to test him. This slave Shaqiu must be Miss Le Le's servant.
Uncle Gong had passed away. The slave trade that Uncle Gong personally handled was all big business. Only Le Zheng knew the accounts.
If Jin Zi's background wasn't simple, then Le Zheng would definitely remember it!
Ning Cheng didn't dare to alert Le Zheng before he fully gained his trust. He knew that in the coming days, he would have to deal with Shaqiu and Shaqiu's master, Le Le.
On New Year's Eve, he suddenly thought of Jin Zi.
He worked so hard for Jin Zi. If Jin Zi, that cold-hearted guy, knew, would he be touched? In fact, if it weren't for the wine, he might not have stayed for long …
Of course, Jin Zi didn't know what Ning Cheng did for him. He also didn't know that Ning Cheng was in the Wintercrow Tribe that he had yearned for for many years.
In such a cold night, he was still on his way.
Northern Li still needed food aid from the south this winter. This winter was also cold. Many places in the north of Northern Li had snow disasters. Many roads were buried in snow. So, even if there was enough food, it couldn't be delivered to the victims. Two months ago, Han Yunxi sent elite troops from the Western Army, Baili Army, and Southern Army to Northern Li to help the Ning Army and the Black Clan Army with disaster relief. She also announced that after disaster relief, there would be a big reward.
Although the various military factions fought fiercely in secret, everyone was still united and cooperated with each other in Northern Li.
However, it was New Year's Eve, and they still had to clear the road and transport the food through the snow. It was inevitable that some of the soldiers who were sent out would complain.
Jin Zi had been tired for a few days. Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the New Year's Eve to sleep in his tent. However, when he heard that the soldiers who complained were from the Baili Military Faction, and that there were signs of trouble, he couldn't sleep.
At the beginning of the country, there were many things waiting to be done. Most of the money in the imperial court was used on the blade. Part of the food for the disaster relief in Northern Li was donated by Long Fei Ye's own granary, and the other part was donated by the grain merchants in Jiangnan and the central region under Long Fei Ye's compulsion.
Because of this incident, the Southern Army requested to lead the disaster relief operation in Northern Li, but it was rejected by Long Fei Ye in the end.
Jin Zi knew about Baili Yuanlong's collusion with the southern army. He had followed Ning Cheng for more than a year, so he was well aware of the secret struggles between the various military factions. He knew very well that if he didn't personally make an appearance tonight and keep an eye on those people, even a small matter would be stirred up into a big dispute and cause a huge commotion.
Then, this New Year's Eve would be lively in the military!
Jin Zi personally picked up the shovel and shoveled the snow with the soldiers. He personally pulled the carriage carrying the food forward on foot. With this, who would dare complain behind his back?
After crossing the hill, everyone stopped to rest.
A soldier brought over hot water. "General, it's hot. It'll get cold in a while!"
Jin Zi drank a few mouthfuls and let the soldier drink it himself. The soldier immediately left, not daring to stay by his side for too long.
They rested for a while before leaving, so there was no need to light a fire. The weather wasn't good either, so everyone huddled together to keep each other warm.
Jin Zi was the only one who stood far away. He leaned against the carriage and wrapped his cloak tightly around himself.
His head was lowered. His short hair and shoulders were covered in snow. He was especially thin and stood there quietly, aloof and mysterious. He didn't look like a general at all.
In the military, he was actually more intimidating than Ning Cheng.
If Ning Cheng was here, there would be some people in the Ning family army who would rely on their seniority to take advantage of their seniority.
However, when he stood in the army, no one dared to make a sound. Because no one was familiar with him, they didn't understand him and couldn't figure him out.
He raised a group of tiger army consisting of more than ten big tigers. Although he didn't usually take them out for a stroll, everyone remembered and was afraid of him. They didn't dare to easily approach him.
The bone-chilling northern wind rose again, blowing away the snowflakes on Jin Zi's hair and shoulders. It also made his cloak billow in the wind.
Everyone felt cold and hugged the people around them tighter. However, Jin Zi let the north wind blow and didn't react much.
He played with a gold card in his hand. That gold card was returned to him by Mu Ling'er.
He also wanted to forget that girl. However, he stayed in Northern Li and took over this mess for Ning Cheng. It was all for that girl.
Being in Northern Li, facing all these annoying things, how could he forget the instigator?
He thought that he must have bullied that girl badly in his previous life. She must have tortured him like this in this life.
If …
If he continued to bully her miserably in this life, then would he still meet her in the next life?
Thinking of this, Jin Zi suddenly laughed.
He called for the imperial bodyguard and handed the gold card to him. He instructed in a low voice, "Send someone to buy grain at a high price. Buy as much as you can, no matter how expensive it is!"
This gold card was under Mu Ling'er's name. After he used up the money she owed him, if there was an overdraft, she would naturally have to pay it back.
Anyway, the bank would only look for her and not him.
In this life, if love was too late, bullying her was also a happy thing.
Jin Zi seemed to have seen Mu Ling'er rushing in front of him and stomping her feet in anger. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl into a beautiful arc.
He suddenly felt that this New Year's Eve was a little boring …
A year ago, everyone knew that Northern Li was short on grain. How many unscrupulous merchants were secretly hoarding grain and waiting to raise the price? How could Mu Ling'er, who was about to be drowned in debt, know that Jin Zi, who hadn't interacted with her for several months, would trick her like this on New Year's Eve?
When she returned to Medicine City, she took in many disciples and adopted a few orphans. She carefully selected the talented ones and personally taught them medical knowledge. Little Yi 'er and Chen Xiang were both learning from her.
She also borrowed Lil Thing from Gu Beiyue. When spring came, she would conduct a large inspection in Medical City. She would examine all the fake and substandard products.
When she borrowed Lil Thing from Gu Beiyue, she'd told her big sister about it, so she'd left her a message. The original words were, "If Lil Thing is willing to become a dog, you can take it with you."
She didn't know how Gu Beiyue communicated with Lil Thing, but it actually agreed to come with her to Medicine City. It had to be said that Lil Thing's nose was much more sensitive than a dog's. It could tell the authenticity of Medicine City with a single sniff!
Of course, one Lil Thing was far from enough, so she sent people to find ten dogs to train.
After spring came, she would be even busier. Not only did she have to establish a Medicine Control Board, but she also had to cooperate with Gu Beiyue's operations in Medical City.
She had never thought that she would one day return to Northern Li after leaving home for a long time after she was almost tricked into marrying him off. She had always been unhappy in the Mu family, but now that she was back, she was actually living a carefree life.
It was late at night, and at this moment, she was... snoring away!
Lil Thing was curled up by her feet. Suddenly, two dog barks came from outside. Lil Thing immediately raised its head, revealing a vigilant expression. It waited for a while, but didn't hear anything else, so it ran out of the room.
It went to stand outside a nearby kennel. When the group of dogs saw it, they immediately started barking.
Lil Thing really didn't understand why Miss Ling 'er brought back so many dogs. As a wolf, it looked down on dogs.
"Squeak..."
Lil Thing yelled at them to shut up.
All the dogs immediately stopped, not understanding what Lil Thing wanted to do. After a while, seeing that Lil Thing didn't take any further action, they started barking again.
In the eyes of these dogs, Lil Thing was just a mouse.
Lil Thing was angry and glared at the dogs.
The dogs sensed Lil Thing's provocation and barked even more fiercely. One of them even directly pounced on Lil Thing.
Lil Thing was angry. It raised its head and roared at Sirius.
In an instant, all the dogs stopped barking. The dog that pounced on Lil Thing fell to the ground, motionless. It was scared to death.
Lil Thing had unknowingly transformed into a big snow wolf. Its body was taller than a tiger, and its snow-white fur was very noble and elegant. Its pair of demonic red eyes were deep and cold.
It looked down at the kennel from high above. The dogs were all crawling on the ground, trembling and not daring to make a sound.
Lil Thing was very satisfied. It elegantly turned around and walked to Mu Ling 'er's room. However, after a few steps, it couldn't take it anymore and turned back into a little squirrel.
It hadn't fully recovered yet, so the transformation time was very short. After turning back into a little squirrel, its previous elegance and nobility were all gone. It ran towards Mu Ling 'er's room. From afar, it looked like a little snowball rolling.
The huge commotion in the courtyard didn't wake Mu Ling 'er up. Mu Ling' er was sleeping soundly. No one knew what she was dreaming of, but she was actually drooling.
On New Year's Eve, everyone had their own excitement and their own dreams.
Whether the nightmare was life-threatening, whether one wanted to wake up or not, the sky would always be bright.
On the first day of the New Year, Granny Zhao was the first to wake up in No. 7 Teahouse. She personally prepared a sumptuous breakfast for her masters.
Han Yunxi was woken up by Rui 'er. After Rui' er woke up, he didn't remember what happened last night at all. He wrapped his arms around his mother's neck and acted like a spoiled child.
Long Fei Ye was no longer in the room. When Han Yunxi woke up, she noticed that Rui 'er was still wearing the clothes from last night. She was about to get up.
However, she suddenly remembered what happened last night and was so shocked that she immediately covered herself with the quilt.
Rui 'er obviously noticed that his mother's expression wasn't right. He stared at her suspiciously and didn't move. Han Yunxi glanced under the quilt and saw that she was still wearing clothes. Her hanging heart finally relaxed.
Last night, Long Fei Ye tormented her miserably. She didn't know how she fell asleep, let alone when Rui 'er came back.
She lifted the quilt and saw that she was wearing a spaghetti strap and a nightgown. Her ears unconsciously heated up. God knows how Long Fei Ye helped her get dressed.
"Mother … Mother …" Little Rui 'er called out to her in a childish voice, calling her both names.
Han Yunxi was about to hug Rui 'er when she saw a big red packet lying behind him.
