Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
While they were still chatting, Constable Qin and Constable Wang ca over.
Their faces darkened.
Everyone quickly stood up.
“Return and prepare yourselves. We’ll attack Black Wind Mountain tomorrow.”
“Why are we in such a hurry?” Gu Jiu asked.
“We have to bring as many officers as we can. The governnt office from Chenzhou will send 5,000 soldiers over. They have already set off and we will et them at the foot of Black Wind Mountain tomorrow,” Constable Qin reached out his hand and patted the shoulder of the statue of the Great Saint.
“This is a good opportunity for you to contribute. Whether you can take the position of chief will depend on your ability.”
Heng Yi said nothing.
But he was confident in his abilities.
As long as he was rewarded according to his achievents, he would do his best.
Constable Qin was a little envious of Heng Yi.
He had been a constable for many years, but the governnt office had never ntioned anything about promoting him to the chief constable. In comparison, Heng Yi had just joined them, and he was already being offered this position. He couldn’t help but think about it.
However, even though he was envious, Heng Yi had also proved himself.
“Let’s go ho and pack up first, especially hemostatic dicine and the dicine for wounds. Although the governnt office will prepare, it’s better to be safe than sorry.”
“Prepare everything and co back quickly.”
He could not rely on others to save his life. He still had to prepare so for himself.
Heng Yi called for Bai Cha to leave.
Only then did everyone realize that no one had noticed Bai Cha even after they had talked for a long ti.
After Bai Cha and Heng Yi left the governnt office, the two of them went straight to the dicine shop.
He bought the best hemostatic dicine, wound dicine, and detoxification pills.
“Big Brother, do you want to buy a better saber?”
Heng Yi touched his empty purse, “Let’s talk when we get ho.”
When they reached ho, Dong Lai imdiately ca to welco them.
“Master, Second Master, Madam said that when your return you should co straight to the main courtyard.”
As for why, Dong Lai didn’t say anything and the two of them didn’t ask.
Han Qiao had just returned and had just finished enjoying Duan Yue’s massage. She had washed up and changed into a clean and fitting set of clothes when Shulan entered the room, “Madam, Master, and Second Master are back.”
“Yes,” Han Qiao walked to the door.
Heng Yi stepped in and held her hand, “What is it?”
“I’ve prepared a gift for you.”
She guided them to the table where the two rosewood brocade boxes were.
According to the length, Bai Cha could imdiately guess what was inside.
He couldn’t describe the feelings inside his chest, but his heart was warm and his entire body was a little light.
“This is for you, and this is for Bai Cha. Open it and take a look.”
Heng Yi opened the brocade box and looked at the shiny and sharp blade.
Heng Yi didn’t know what it was made of, but he knew it was a good saber.
He picked it up and swung it a few tis.
“It’s light.” Heng Yi praised.
Bai Cha took out the sword and inspected it carefully. It was a very fine weapon.
“Sister-in-law, this must cost you a lot of money,” Bai Cha said.
“Don’t worry about the price, just take a look and see if you like it,” Han Qiao laughed.
“I like it.”
“I like it.”
Heng Yi and Bai Cha said in unison.
They liked it too much.
Heng Yi gestured to Bai Cha, “Let’s spar in the yard?”
“Big Brother, please.”
When the two of them arrived at the yard, they began to gesture.
The strokes of a good saber and a good sword were indeed different. Han Qiao thought she had hallucinated as she watched them head toward each other like a white blinding flash, and then the two figures clashed. They were extrely fast and light on their feet.
Bai Cha had received proper education since he was young, but he didn’t gain any advantage with Heng Yi as his opponent.
After a while, the two of them felt their hearts full and satisfied.
Han Qiao had already asked soone to bring the white fungus soup over.
Although trella was not as difficult to buy as bird’s nests, it was still quite expensive. Han Qiao bought one catty and stewed it in a pot every ti. Both adults and children would eat a bowl.
Heng Yi picked up the bowl and finished it in a few mouthfuls. He then said to Han Qiao, “We’re going to wipe out the bandits. We’ll have to leave soon.”
This surprised Han Qiao.
“I’ll pack a set of clothes for you.”
“No need, we’re going to exterminate the bandits. We don’t know what’s going on either. Everyone is going to bring the clothes they wore, it’s not appropriate for us to bring too much.”
“I’ll leave Bai Cha at ho. Don’t go out for the next few days.”
Han Qiao had wanted him to bring Bai Cha along, but the family was full of old, weak, won, and children. The only people who knew martial arts were the three manservants, and they only knew simple moves. They were useless if they were to go up against soone more skilled.
“What about you?”
“I can protect myself. Don’t worry.”
Heng Yi also thought about the situation at ho. He needed to find a few more people who knew martial arts to at least ensure the safety of his family.
Bai Cha didn’t insist on going.
“Big Brother, stay vigilant. Be careful when you fight against soone more skilled than you.”
“Yes.”
Heng Yi brought the new saber to the governnt office, and Han Qiao prepared ten silver pieces for him.
When everyone saw his saber, they all praised him with envy.
“That must cost you a lot of silver.”
“It must be very expensive. I haven’t seen anyone use it in Puyi County.”
The raider team set off without even having lunch. So brought dry rations, while others brought at.
When Heng Yi passed by the bun shop, he bought fifty at buns, which made many people envious.
Back in the Heng Mansion, with Heng Yi not ho, Han Qiao beca the head of the household with Bai Cha acting as the head of the servants.
Butler Hu was busy weighing the stalks and radishes.
And the common people dug up broken leaves, wild onions, and yellow leaves on wild onions.
Han Chi and the children helped out.
Han Chi was even stricter than Butler Hu. Every basket of bamboo shoots had to be checked carefully. Once he found that there were bad bamboo shoots mixed in, he would imdiately pick them out and scold the people who ca to sell the bamboo shoots.
He also disliked the mud on the radishes’ leaves.
He didn’t pick the yellow leaves of the wild onions.
Even if there were weeds in the yellow onion’s leaves, he would also dislike it.
In short, all the people who ca to sell their vegetables knew that the young master of the Heng family was very picky. Everything had to be clean, or else his mouth would turn you into nothing.
Fortunately, he was still very happy to pay.
Actually, Han Chi disliked Butler Hu’s lack of diligence in his work. Even the bamboo shoots he chose were a little sloppy.
He couldn’t say much but complained about it to Han Qiao during dinner. “So of the bamboo shoots in the basket are too small. Once the shells are peeled, there are no more bamboo shoots. Butler Hu didn’t pick them out and put his hands behind his back. He’s not the master of the house, and didn’t want to get his hands dirty!”
Han Qiao picked up so food for Han Chi, “Then what do you think we should do?”
“We can’t leave this responsibility to their family,” Han Chi said.
“Let’s eat first. We’ll continue this after dinner.”
After the al, Han Qiao asked the children to co to the hall. Bai Cha was also there.
Butler Hu’s family of three was also called over.
When everyone arrived, Han Qiao let Han Chi speak first.
Han Chi did not panic, “Butler Hu is not very diligent in checking the bamboo shoots. I don’t know if he paid more money, but so of the bamboo shoots are too small. Almost every basket can pick out two to three catties. Two to three catties in a basket doesn’t seem like a lot, but we have to collect hundreds of baskets of bamboo shoots a day. That is not a small amount.”
Han Qiao looked at Butler Hu and saw him frowning, “Butler Hu, what do you think?”
Butler Hu wanted to say that he was wronged.
However, there was a basket in the kitchen, and there were indeed many small bamboo shoots in it.
“Madam, please give another chance.”
Han Qiao shook her head slightly, “Butler Hu, I gave you a chance. The first ti you made a mistake, it provoked those servant girls into talking behind our backs. You let them know that their master was a country bumpkin and ignorant, so they didn’t take their master seriously and learned to slack off.” “Asking you to weigh the bamboo shoots this ti is indeed a waste of your talent, but you still disappoint .”
“Auntie Zhao, bring the account book up..”
