Afterwards, Tang Peizhong suddenly lunged at Tang Zan. Tang Zan knew his father wanted to check if there were any hidden injuries left on him, so he fully cooperated, using all his inner strength.
At such a thrilling battle, he realized that the circulation of his internal energy was now even faster than before.
Moreover, he beca more agile, as if his physical quality had changed.
His legs were no longer a burden, but rather an aid.
The two were locked in a fierce fight, exchanging hundreds of moves. The air crackled with their energy, growing more and more exhilarated.
There was a sense of having t a worthy opponent.
Tang Peizhong was still injured, while Tang Zan was at his peak, and yet they barely fought to a draw.
At the sa ti, neither knew who would win or lose. Their battle, on the contrary, was imnsely satisfying.
Tang Peizhong also discovered that not only was his son fine, but even his hidden injuries had been healed.
He rembered those hidden injuries that had never been properly treated.
Which had stalled his progress.
It seed that his previous leg injury turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
It seems his inner strength is now even deeper.
Even Tang Zan was overjoyed. He realized that the surprise Pei Shu’er had given him far exceeded his expectations.
It was Pei Shu’er’s dical skills, otherwise, he couldn’t have achieved what he has now.
Overjoyed, he picked Pei Shu’er up in an embrace.
In front of Tang Zan, Pei Shu’er finally had this mont of looking down at him.
She was genuinely happy for Tang Zan.
Now the main antagonist, completely different from the original story.
Though he was still sinister and paranoid, and a bit treacherous and ruthless, rciless in killings.
But he was no longer crippled! And his parents were still by his side.
Pei Shu’er smiled too, gently wiping the sweat off Tang Zan’s forehead.
Tang Zan put Pei Shu’er down, took her hand, and walked to his parents, his eyes filled with contentnt.
"Father, mother, it’s all thanks to Shu’er; otherwise, I couldn’t have recovered."
With no strangers around, Tang Zan referred to Tang Peizhong in this manner.
Both nodded repeatedly, their gazes at Pei Shu’er filled with satisfaction.
Perhaps, the best decision Tang Zan ever made was marrying this wife.
It was because of this wife that they had support on the path of exile, allowing them to safely reach Gulan Mountain.
And it was also because of this wife that they could live a worry-free life in the Gulan Mountain Range, still having servants at their service.
Furthermore, even the War King was rescued by her.
She had done so much for the three branches of their family.
Liu Xu held Pei Shu’er’s hand, her eyes brimming with tears.
"Shu’er, my dear Shu’er, thank you on behalf of the Tang ancestors. If it weren’t for you, Zan’er wouldn’t have recovered."
Pei Shu’er patted Liu Xu’s hand, saying nothing more.
Tang Zan squeezed her hand, and Pei Shu’er turned to find Tang Zan smiling at her.
"You need not think too much. You healed and my hidden injuries; for us, it’s a great rit."
As he said this, his eyes were deep, and his gaze at Pei Shu’er was gentle.
That night, to celebrate Tang Zan’s recovery, they feasted with the entire community from the Deserted Mountain.
It was only because the three family branches prospered, with many people farming and plentiful land, that they could afford such a banquet.
If it were any other family, this al would equate to half a year’s supply for others. No one else would dare eat like this.
Moreover, Pei Shu’er made many cakes. When she went to the military camp to treat people’s injuries, she taught Yinxing and so of the kitchen servants to turn beets into sugar.
Now they had about a hundred kilograms of sugar, enough to last quite a while.
However, Pei Shu’er was thinking about opening a border trade point nearby.
If done well, people from this side of Dayan could gather, facilitating a resource exchange.
After dinner that evening, Pei Shu’er shared her plan with the community of the Deserted Mountain.
"Our resources are always limited. If we want a better life, the best way is to trade with others; this way, we can obtain resources and have money. Then we can also explore nearby markets for suitable things."
Everyone naturally supported their master’s decision. Her reasoning made sense, and with the busy farming season not yet upon them, it was a good ti for such an initiative.
anwhile, nothing was pressing at the mont.
Seeing everyone’s support ward Pei Shu’er’s heart as well.
The next day, when the soldiers arrived, Pei Shu’er shared her plan with them, asking them to set up temporary stalls near the Deserted Mountain.
She handed everyone blueprints and led them to find appropriate locations.
The site was chosen midway between the barracks and the Deserted Mountain, closer to Deserted Mountain.
This way, even if anything happened, she could quickly return to the Deserted Mountain.
She had considered going to various places to sell things, but it wasn’t practical. The benefits wouldn’t be substantial, and it would waste a lot of ti.
Besides, it wasn’t suitable for her to roam around now.
Once a row of stalls was built, Pei Shu’er gave each person a di coin as a token.
It was just perfect for use as a token, as only she had them.
Everyone looked at the small object, their eyes gleaming. This item was so exquisite that they believed it could be sold for a good amount of money. They had never seen anything like it.
They had initially thought they would have to do many things for Pei Shu’er.
They never expected that just doing this one thing with many people would earn them a coin.
They were filled with hope.
Pei Shu’er didn’t want these people to develop an insatiable nature, thinking she should always provide for them.
She wanted them to realize that her goodwill ca with conditions.
Even now, these people might not truly respect her from the bottom of their hearts.
But it didn’t matter, as long as there was a mutual benefit, she could have a group of people at her command, couldn’t she?
At the sa ti, Pei Shu’er gave these soldiers a task.
"Now, I need you to help spread the word in the barracks and any places with people. Just tell them there’s a trade point here, and winter is coming, so everyone should hurry and stock up."
"No matter what ans you use, you must get the ssage out."
They all heeded Pei Shu’er’s words and went to spread the word.
When the ssage spread, people’s reactions varied.
So supported it, thinking that with scarce resources here, trading might help everyone get through winter better.
So doubted, believing that in such a barren place, what good things could possibly exist?
