Cowardly Stepmother Dressed As the Hero

On June 15, the first Changling market came to an end soon.

The market effect this time was not good, mainly because there were too few people from the Rong tribe. In addition to the Ale tribe where Zhang's family belongs, only the Asuo tribe and a few other tribes dared to enter the city.

But every tribe that entered the city returned with a reward.

The cured meat brought by the cattle and sheep that came in time was replaced by bags of salt and sugar that were hard to come by on the grasslands at an unimaginable "low" price for the Rong people. These Rong people who came here with a tentative attitude at first hated that they brought too few things to trade.

Of course, the deal wasn't all smooth sailing, and there was an unhappy episode.

A few days later, the Zhang family heard from the Ale tribe that the Asuo tribe, who had entered Changling in exchange for a large amount of supplies, was robbed on a hill less than three miles away from Changling.

Several tribes headed by the San tribe attacked the Aso tribe like crazy, robbing them of nearly 60% of the spoils.

"If it was a robbery, why only 60% of the things were robbed?" After listening to the leader, Mr. Zhang asked strangely.

The leader of the Ale tribe shook his head: "I don't know either, probably the men of the Asuo tribe were desperate to keep the last thing."

Zhang Shi nodded thoughtfully.

She was a little worried: "There are not many people willing to go to Changling. Now that there is a robbery, it seems that the next market... I am afraid that no one will dare to go."

Hearing the words, the leader of the Ale tribe shook his head and said, "No."

He scratched his head in confusion: "I met the San people on the return journey yesterday. I thought they had just finished robbing the Aso people and would not let us go. But they looked very kind and didn't have any intention of attacking at all. .

"Sang Ba, the leader of the San tribe, also said that they would come again on the first day of next month and asked if I could let their people stay in the tribe for one night."

After talking about what happened to the San tribe, the leader of the Ale tribe smiled cautiously and asked Mrs. Zhang, "I was a little scared at the time, after all, I didn't know if I refused, they would get angry and start with us.

"So...that's why I agreed.

"This...isn't there any problem with this?"

Obviously he is the head of the Ale clan, and now he is faced with the matter of whether to sleep with other Rong clan, but he has to ask the Zhang clan.

Zhang Shi didn't even ask him for this instruction, showing any discomfort.

She thought about it and replied, "You have already agreed, and we have no reason to keep people out."

The leader of the Ale tribe breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, I think so too."

Zhang Shi smiled.

She is also a serious businessman now, and her thinking is not as limited as before. After a pause, she directly suggested: "We are a Rong tribe closest to Changling. If the San and Aso people don't want to stay in the wild, they must find a place to stay.

"Leader, what do you think of this? Let's just open up a place in the tribe as an 'inn' and rent it to other tribes."

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense, and added: "Also, after someone is staying, we can also sell them snacks, which is another income!"

The leader of the Ale tribe opened his mouth blankly.

Now, thanks to the efforts of the Zhang family, the entire Ale tribe has long since gotten out of the poor and down-to-earth look of a year ago.

Because of wool, a way to make money, they not only solved the problem of food and clothing, but also greatly improved the living standards of each family because of the various materials traded from the Sheng Dynasty.

The Zhang clan, now in the Ale clan, has faintly become an existence beyond the leader.

Her proposal, the leader of the Ale tribe thought about it, but did not think of any reason to refute it.

So he nodded and responded, "That's okay...but...I don't know if there will be any tribes coming over in the future."

Zhang Shi smiled: "Yes."

She analyzed: "I was a little worried about the robbery of the Dao, but after hearing your story about the San people I met yesterday, I thought that there might be some misunderstanding.

"If even the stubborn Sangba leaders are willing to enter the city, then the other tribes should not have to worry."

Hearing the words, the leader of the Ale tribe nodded: "Well, then this matter is settled.

"Look at what kind of 'inn' you need to arrange, even if you let the young people in the clan do it."

Hearing this, Mrs Zhang nodded: "Okay."

Obviously, the first market on June 15 had just passed, and Mr. Zhang was already looking forward to the first market on July 1.

In Changling City, Qi An was also pinching his fingers to wait for the coming of July, but he was not for the Raoshizi Market.

"Twenty-nine, thirty..." The second young master of the royal palace jumped up regardless of his image, gestured with **** and announced to his eldest brother: "Two days, brother, it will be July in two days, we You can go home!"

Qi Rui patted him on the shoulder: "Well, yes, there are still two days."

Qi Anwu laughed to himself for a while, and then thought of something: "But eldest brother, it's been three days since my father left Changling, why hasn't he come back?"

He held his face: "I'm leaving here, I, I want to be with my father more..."

Qi Rui comforted: "Father has always been very busy, but this time he left Changling suddenly, it seems to be going to Huaitong to pick up a few important people.

"But I guess, the second market on the first day of July is just around the corner, and he will definitely be back before this time."

After listening to his explanation, Qi An nodded obediently: "Is that so...then why don't we stay in Changling for a few more days, and if we go back to my mother's side, we won't be able to see my father for a long time."

Qi Rui nodded: "Well, I think so too."

The brothers reached a consensus and smiled at each other.

The next day, King Bei'an, who had been away from Changling for nearly five days, finally returned to the city.

He rode a rare fiery red sweat-blooded BMW at the front of the line.

The sweaty horse held his head high and led the elite soldiers of the Bei'an Palace behind him.

In the middle of the line is a gorgeous carriage guarded by personal soldiers.

Qi Rui and Qi An waited early in front of the tent, wanting to greet their father as soon as possible.

Qi You saw them from a distance, and a faint smile appeared on his serious face.

Before arriving at the tent, he tightened the reins, and the flames stopped wisely.

When Qi You got off its back, it snorted at the two children and said hello.

Qi An rushed forward and hugged Rie Yan's leg.

After he came here, the most common thing he did was take care of the flames, and now he is very close to the flames.

In fact, what he originally wanted to do most was to throw himself directly into Qi You's arms. But the cold-faced King Bei'an got off his horse and walked over to the carriage behind him, without any intention of communicating with him about the father and son's affection.

Qi An patted the sturdy horse's leg and swallowed the grievance in his heart angrily!

But soon, he was awakened by a call that should never have been here.

"elder brother!"

Qi An raised his eyes and saw his younger brother, who should have stayed in Cangcheng, rushed towards him like the wind.

Before he came back to his senses, he was hugged by Little Fatty.

"Brother, brother!" Qi Ran was happily incoherent, and after hugging Qi An, she kept rubbing against Qi An with her chubby face.

At this time, Qi An finally came to his senses.

He finally realized something and looked towards the carriage.

He originally thought that the people in the carriage should be some prominent high-ranking officials, so he had to trouble his father to greet them in person.

But at this time, the one who stood beside the carriage with King Bei'an was clearly the mother who had been thinking about it day and night!

Seeing him look over, Cao Mi smiled softly at him.

For some reason, the second son of the palace suddenly felt a sore nose.

He didn't care about the younger brother in his arms, he pushed Qi Ran away and ran towards Cao Mi.

Cao Mi squatted down, and the mother and son hugged tightly.

Qi Ran didn't care when he was pushed out of his arms, and immediately pestered his eldest brother Qi Rui with a foolish look on his face.

Qi An stayed in Cao Mi's arms for a while, wiped off the two golden beans that he accidentally spilled, and then asked in a sobbing voice, "Mother, why are you here?"

Cao Mi patted his back: "I came to see you, are you happy? Did you miss your mother?"

Qi An twisted, and after a while, he nodded embarrassedly: "Well, yes."

King Bei'an, who has always been decisive in killing, never distracted by the love of his children, can't bear to see him next to him.

He took his second son out of Cao Mi's arms, hugged him in his arms, and reprimanded, "A man and a man, it's just a trivial matter, what's there to cry about?"

Qi An blushed and argued, "I didn't cry!"

Cao Mi also stood up at this time and scratched the bridge of his straight nose: "Well, we Qi An will not cry, we Qi An are good children."

Qi An nodded.

He leaned forward in Qi You's arms, wrapped his hands around Cao Mi's neck, and then "squeaked" and kissed Cao Mi's face.

When Cao Mi was in the mansion, he often interacted with them like this to show their intimacy.

The third child likes this set the most, and he doesn't need Cao Mi to ask for it, so he will kiss him.

Qi An didn't take it to heart, but he didn't resist, and it was rare for him to take the initiative.

And the boss, Qi Rui, would never do such a thing if there was no "justifiable reason".

At this time, after being separated for several months, Cao Mi got a cheek kiss from his second son, and he was suddenly filled with emotion.

She leaned forward, tapped Qi An's face, and said with a smile, "Mother also... miss Qi An very much."

On the other side, Qi Rui finally walked over with Qi Ran.

The boss's eyes lit up, and he called out to Cao Mi, "Mother."

Cao Mi squatted down and touched his head: "Rui'er has grown taller!"

Qi Rui nodded, and looked away in embarrassment.

His hands were bent unnaturally, as if something was brewing, showing a rare excited look.

Cao Mi thought he was too happy to see him, so he smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

To her surprise, when Qi Rui saw her bow her head, she suddenly followed Qi An's example, wrapping her arms around her neck, and then placed a light kiss on her cheek.

Cao Mi was stunned, and then in the voice of the third child shouting "I want me too", he gently kissed the elder back.

Then, she picked up the third child and swayed it, letting the third child smear her face.

"Mother, you also want to kiss me!" Qi Ran said while rubbing her right cheek.

Cao Mi leaned forward with kindness and tapped lightly: "Okay."

She just stood up straight and let out a light breath, but suddenly she felt someone approaching beside her.

Before she could dodge, a pair of lips that did not belong to children gently landed on her left cheek.

Cao Mi was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and realized that King Bei'an was staring straight at her, and then he reacted.

There was more plundering edge than warmth in those eyes, and even implied a bit of unwillingness to admit defeat.

Suddenly, Cao Mi's mind was confused and thought: Are all the men in the Qi family like this? Seeing that others have it, I have to have it myself, and I can't suffer at all?

But does this kind of thing need to be fought for everyone?

She hadn't figured out why, but the King of Bei'an, who was over twenty-two, actually leaned over to her again, bringing his handsome face towards her.

Seeing this, it seemed that he was begging her for a kiss back.

"Cough cough!" Cao Mi quickly dismissed the unrealistic thoughts in his mind, holding Qi Ran abruptly and "fleeing" two steps forward.

She cleared her throat and asked, "Uh...where are we staying tonight? After riding in the carriage for several days, we are all tired!"

After waiting for a while, Qi You, who did not get the "return", walked behind her.

For some reason, his voice was a little cold: "Let's go, this king will take you there."

Cao Mi lowered his head, covered his inexplicably hot cheeks, and walked forward after Qi You.

The author has something to say: there is one more chapter at 9 p.m.
