As soon as Zheng Feng got off his horse, Lin Zhe walked up and patted Zheng Feng on the shoulder, saying, "Brother Zheng, thank you for your help. I, Lin Zhe, will never forget your kindness."

Zheng Feng smiled slightly and said: "Second Young Master, you are welcome. Our Zheng family is willing to fully support King Zhao's great cause."

As soon as they entered the main room, they didn't beat around the bush but went straight to the point.

Zheng Feng handed over the one hundred thousand tael silver note to Lin Zhe. "Second Young Master, here is one hundred thousand taels. The gold and silver outside add up to one hundred thousand taels. The total is two hundred thousand taels, and there are two thousand kilograms of grain. This is half of our Zheng family's net worth. This sincerity is enough to exchange for My sister’s position as head wife?”

Lin Zhe's heart trembled when he heard that the Zheng family had given him so much money and food. He frantically suppressed the corners of his lips that were about to rise.

He also said with an affectionate look: "I didn't expect that the Yue family would be able to provide so much food and money to support our Prince Zhao's Mansion. Brother, I will definitely be twice as kind to my sister in this life. She is the only woman in my life."

Zheng Feng couldn't hide the joy on his face when he heard that Lin Zhe had even called his in-laws and called him eldest brother. "My father and eldest sister must be very happy for the second young master's words."

Lin Zhe took off the jade pendant he carried with him and solemnly handed it to Zheng Feng with both hands. "Brother, I have to go in person to escort the grain, grass and silver this time. Besides, I also have to deal with my father personally about the marriage between my sister and I. This jade pendant has been decided first, and I will come to propose marriage when I return."

When Zheng Feng heard that Lin Zhe was leaving, he felt uneasy. He looked at the jade pendant in Lin Zhe's hand, then looked at Lin Zhe's determined eyes, and finally took the jade pendant.

The two chatted for a while, and the two stewards in charge of food and money came to report the amount of money and food, which was the same as what Zheng Feng said.

After the matter was settled, Zheng Feng said goodbye and left, and Lin Zhe personally escorted him out of the house. Seeing Zheng Feng's carriage disappear in front of his eyes, Lin Zhe's heart dropped.

At this time, Vice General Zhou also brought two thousand elite soldiers to gather at the gate of the magistrate's mansion.

Lin Zhe's eyes flashed and he looked at Vice Admiral Zhou. Vice General Zhou nodded, and Lin Zhe asked him to go ahead and have two thousand elite soldiers immediately escort the food and money and leave Xinzhou City.

Vice General Zhou ordered him to ask: "Second Young Master, where are we going?"

Lin Zhe turned to Yu Xiao behind him and whispered: "Yu Xiao, go ahead and lead the way. We are going to that valley."

Yu Xiao immediately bowed and replied: "Yes, Second Young Master!"

After saying that, he got on his horse and ran to the front of the team. However, Lin Zhe did not choose to take the carriage this time, but rode a horse and walked side by side with Vice General Zhou.

A mighty team of food guards headed towards the gate of Xinzhou City.

The city defenders who had received the news early were also ready. As soon as it was confirmed that it was Lin Zhe and Vice General Zhou's team, they would immediately open the city gate.

By the time the mighty food protection team arrived at the gate of Xinzhou City, the soldiers guarding the city had already been waiting for the arrival of Lin Zhe and Vice General Zhou.

When Lin Zhe and Vice General Zhou rode their horses to the city gate, the generals guarding the city immediately stepped forward to salute and confirm their identities.

Lin Zhe nodded and ordered succinctly: "Open the door, we have to set off immediately."

After the city defender responded, he and several other city defenders went to open the city gate. As soon as the city gate slowly opened, the food protection team immediately filed out.

After the entire team came out, Lin Zhe breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the heavy sound of closing the city gate from behind. Only if they go to the valley that is easy to defend and difficult to attack can they be safer.

The food protection team moved much faster as soon as they left Xinzhou City. Vice General Zhou and Lin Zhe were always vigilant about their surroundings. Although it was late at night, there was no one else at all, just one road after another.

But they were escorting several thousand kilograms of grain and one hundred thousand silver, so they naturally had to be careful.

In this way, the food protection team marched in the dark night, with only the sound of horse hooves and the rolling wheels on the silent road.

When they came to the foot of the mountain, Lieutenant General Zhou asked two thousand elite soldiers to unload the grain and money, then destroyed the grain truck, and asked them to carry the grain and money on their bodies and start climbing the mountain.

Lin Zhe frowned slightly as he looked at the tall mountains in front of him. He turned and asked Yu Xiao, "Yu Xiao, how many mountains are there from here to the valley?"

Yu Xiao quickly glanced at Lin Zhe's face and replied truthfully: "Back to the Second Young Master, there are six mountains!"

Lin Zhe's face turned darker when he heard about the six mountains. He was a martial arts practitioner, and the six mountains were no problem to him.

But the problem is that those two thousand elite soldiers are not sure whether they can cross six mountains carrying so much food and money.

Lin Zhe instantly regretted that he had chosen such a deep mountain valley.

Although Lin Zhe had some regrets in his heart, he knew that it would be useless to regret now. We had reached this point, and now he could only take one step at a time.

He took a deep breath and ordered to Vice General Zhou: "Vice General Zhou, let's speed up and climb over these six mountains as soon as possible."

Vice General Zhou nodded in agreement and immediately gave the order. Although these elite soldiers were carrying heavy amounts of food and money, they were well-trained and gritted their teeth and quickened their pace.

While Lin Zhe's food protection team was working hard to climb the mountain, Li Qingxiu was awakened by various animals in the backyard.

Li Qingxiu no longer needs an alarm clock to wake the three siblings up, as the sounds of various animals in the backyard can wake them up.

When Li Qingxiu saw Qingfeng Li getting up, she went to the backyard to feed the hungry squealing poultry.

Perhaps because spring has arrived and the weather has returned to normal, the hens have begun to lay eggs again. Li Qingxiu found six eggs in the henhouse this time, which made her extremely happy.

As soon as she turned around, she saw a freshly baked duck egg falling from the duck's butt.

Unexpectedly, there were even duck eggs. Li Qingxiu happily put the duck eggs into the storage compartment. When there were more duck eggs, she could pickle the salted duck eggs. The salted duck eggs are delicious with porridge.

After feeding the poultry, Li Qingxiu went to the kitchen to start making breakfast. Today she planned to make noodle soup. It was still quite cold in the morning, so it would be so comfortable to eat a bowl of hot noodle soup.

Li Qingxiu took out the risen dough from the storage compartment, took out some dough, kneaded it and rolled it out, and then cut the rolled dough into noodles.

Then she took out the eggs she just picked up today and fried two poached eggs. Seeing that the water on the other stove had begun to boil, Li Qingxiu put the prepared noodles in and cooked them.

While waiting for the noodles to be cooked, she took out two bowls and put some lard, soy sauce, a little vinegar and a small half spoonful of the chili sauce she made.

She also added some boiling water to the bowl and stirred the seasoning evenly. Once the noodles were cooked, Li Qingxiu spread the noodles flatly between the two bowls.
