Wealth and glory seek stability

Unexpectedly, Qingzhuzui saw it with his sharp eyes, "Stop! That wheat ear belongs to me."

Jian Xi ignored him, thought for a moment, and handed the purse to Mo Chuan.

Mo Chuan is the person with the highest martial arts ability here, so it is most appropriate to leave it to him.

The officers and soldiers on both sides wore swords.

The leader stepped forward and shouted, "Where did these unruly people come from? How dare they attack the city lord's nephew in Kecheng?"

Lingbao couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Hahaha, sister, do you think he looks like the guard dog we met before?"

You know what, they really look alike.

Jian Xi took the token from her waist and held it in her palm. "I am the Minister of Agriculture appointed by Her Majesty the Empress. I came to Kecheng to act on orders. Do you dare to stop me?"

You are right. Going to the northern grassland and passing through Kecheng is also considered as following orders.

As soon as the leader saw the Xuanwu token in Jian Xi's hand, he knew that he was going to hit a wall this time.

He looked at Qingzhuzui with hesitation.

A thought flashed through Qing Zhuzui's mind. These people had extraordinary origins. If they were to be eradicated completely -

Thinking of this, he exchanged glances with the leading officers and soldiers.

Jian Xi guessed the two people's dirty thoughts at a glance, which was nothing more than wanting to kill people to silence them.

Then he said calmly, "Our accompanying officials have already gone back to the post station to report the news. We have official passes along the way. Can you guarantee that none of us can escape?"

The leading officer finally became afraid and whispered in Qingzhuzui's ear, "Master, we can't afford to offend these people. If we cause trouble, the city lord will not forgive us."

Qing Zhuzui couldn't help but shudder when he thought of his violent uncle.

But he still said harshly, "You are lucky today, don't get into my hands again in the future." There are so many people around, and he didn't want to give people any chance to talk about him.

But he just couldn't let out the breath that was pent up in his chest. It was always others who accommodated Qingzhuzui, but he had never accommodated others.

His snake-like eyes scanned the crowd, memorizing their faces.

He will never let these people go.

The news that Qingzhuzui caused a scene at the market and offended the empress's envoy soon reached the ears of Maimu, the lord of Kecheng.

There was the sound of porcelain breaking.

"Look at your good nephew, he only knows how to fight and cause trouble. He relies on the few dirty money in his hands and bullies people in the business world every day using my name. He has made me lose face."

Madam Qingzhu was dressed in luxurious clothes, and her well-maintained face was full of tenderness. "Zui'er is young, so it's normal for him to be a little arrogant. If you are afraid that His Majesty will blame you, I will go to the post station later to apologize to that lord on Zui'er's behalf, okay?"

Mai Mu looked at his wife with eyes full of love, and finally couldn't help but say something harsh.

"We are the host. I will host a banquet tonight. Wouldn't it be nice to invite that gentleman to the City Lord's Mansion for a gathering? With your husband here, you don't have to compromise."

Qingzhuzui has become more and more rampant in recent years. His wife is kind-hearted and always comes forward to fill in the gaps for him because of blood relationship. The money she pays out every year is a considerable amount.

It's time to teach that brat a lesson.

Jian Xi didn't have the heart to think about these things.

She followed the old woman to the place where she usually collected herbs.

The grains of this wheat ear are full, the roots are thick, and it grows on the grassland. It is very likely that this is the crop suitable for grassland cultivation that she has been looking for.

The old woman pointed the place to Jian Xi and then hurried to find a doctor.

Her little grandson is still waiting for the doctor to prescribe medicine.

Jian Xi and the others were searching at the foot of the mountain, and suddenly remembered that the Wu Clan was good at medicine, so she turned to look at Wu Zhuo. "Wu Zhuo, do you know medicine?"

Wu Zhuo was digging the grass. Hearing this, he replied, "Yes, the children of the Wu tribe have been learning to read from medical books since they were young."

Hearing this, Bai Zhi looked up at Wu Zhuo.

Jian Xi nodded. It seemed that this subordinate did not completely trust her.

In everything, he just does his part and ignores other people's affairs.

This is not a competent subordinate. I need to observe him more in the future.

"is it this one?"

Baizhi pulled the grass with her hands and saw a small patch of plants that looked very much like wheat seedlings.

Upon hearing this, Jian Xi walked over quickly, and when she saw the seedlings, she slapped her forehead hard.

She was really confused. It was November now, and even if there was wheat, it was only winter wheat that had just sprouted. These ripe wheat ears should have been stored by the old woman in the summer.

"Bai Zhi, you have helped me a lot."

As he said this, he pulled out the dagger from his boot and wanted to dig out the small piece of wheat.

Jian Xi's belly is already six months pregnant, and it is a little difficult for her to squat down.

Mo Chuan stopped immediately upon seeing this and said, "Let me handle this little thing."

Jian Xi handed the dagger to Mo Chuan without any hesitation, and reminded him carefully, "Be careful, dig it out with the roots, don't damage the root system."

Ling Bao watched Mo Chuan take action and patted his chest to promise. "Don't worry, when we had no food on the road before, my senior brother would dig wild vegetables for me to eat. He has good skills."

Jian Xi laughed and said, "You really are your senior brother's leaky little cotton-padded jacket."

"You stupid girl, you're itching again, you really need to be punished."

Lingbao has a somewhat eccentric personality, and when she is with Jian Xi, Jian Xi tries her best to indulge her personality.

She squatted on the ground and watched Mo Chuan digging grass, which was really boring.

He simply took Bai Zhi's hand and said, "This is so boring. Let's go into the house to see the old lady's grandson and see how he is doing." After saying that, he looked at Jian Xi with shining eyes.

She discovered that her sister's words were much more effective than those of her senior brothers, and even her senior brothers had to listen to her sister.

Bai Zhi's eyes lit up when she heard about the patient. The master said that she couldn't prescribe medicine yet, and she used to just follow behind the master to help him. Now that there was a ready-made patient, she really wanted to go and see him.

The old woman's house is an isolated thatched house at the foot of the mountain, and it looks shaky.

Jian Xi saw that he was within sight of the distance, about two hundred meters away, and could be kept an eye on at any time.

"Then go ahead, but don't make any trouble. Grandma is going to see the doctor, so be quiet and don't disturb her."

The two little kids nodded their heads rapidly, turned around and jumped towards the thatched cottage.

Wu Zhuo looked thoughtful, but ultimately said nothing.

Until Mo Chuan dug up all the wheat seeds along with the mud and soil.

Jian Xi took out her handkerchief, but it was a little small.

Out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Wu Zhuo's wizard robe, which was covered with many pieces of cloth.

"excuse me."

Then he swung the dagger to cut off a piece of cloth and spread it on the ground.

Jian Xi instructed Mo Chuan to put the wheat seeds and soil on the cloth.

Wu Zhuo: ...

After packing everything, Jian Xi grinned and said, "This is something that will benefit the people. Even if a piece of cloth is missing from your robe, it won't make a difference. I'll compensate you with a new one when we get back."
