Chapter 379: Sudden Punishnt at 379 Chapter 379: Sudden Punishnt at 379 He moved swiftly, crouching in front of Si Nan, Ye Jiu pulled out a box from his bosom, “Guard Si Nan, you have taken care of us all along the way. I’m giving you sothing nice, much more useful than the flint in your hand.”
Si Nan lifted his head, looking at the box in Ye Jiu’s hand with a baffled expression.
Under his gaze, Ye Jiu directly opened the wooden box, struck a match, and said with interest, “How about that? It’s useful, isn’t it?”
Si Nan took the box, struck a match the sa way, and then nodded expressionlessly, “Useful.”
Ye Jiu: “…”
As expected, the servants truly reflect their master.
Even their way of speaking is the sa, always using as few words as possible; truly economical with their saliva.
He had wanted to expand his business, but seeing how silent Si Nan was, he didn’t seem like soone who would be interested in trade, so Ye Jiu had to let it go.
If only this person were Guard Si Rong, with those peach blossom eyes and a twinkle that suggested he was the material of a cunning rchant.
“This one is for you. If you find it useful, co find in the future!” Ye Jiu left with a satisfied smile.
It was then Si Nan understood Ye Jiu’s intention; the kid was bringing his business to him!
But the girl was indeed shrewd; although he was nominally just a guard, he was in charge of many people and things, his power not any less than those generals stationed at the frontier border.
Si Nan looked down, pondering on the practicality of using this item for military needs.
However much he thought, he realized that it truly was more useful than flint.
The only drawback was that while flint could be used indefinitely, this was a consumable. If it were cheap, it would still be feasible, but if it were too expensive, then it wouldn’t be worth it!
Ye Jiu’s ultimate goal was not just to sell matches; matches were just a foot in the door, and she had many more desirable items.
This was also a thod Ye Jiu had just thought up to tie herself closely with Sikong Mo.
He held high power, while she had nothing; only by sharing interests could her safety be ensured.
Sikong Mo was currently very good to her, but she also had to make plans for her own future; she couldn’t just rely on soone else’s favor forever!
Of course, she didn’t plan to not make any money at all; she would certainly give them the best price guarantee.
Walking over to a stream, Ye Jiu stealthily took out a towel, dampened it with river water, and wiped her exposed skin.
The weather in May was exceptionally hot and dry; riding horses, they spent every day drenched in sweat, but because they were in a hurry, she couldn’t clean herself properly, and Ye Jiu felt like she was starting to stink.
And yet, she had to nestle in Sikong’s embrace all day, which was quite embarrassing.
On the other side, Sikong Mo’s mood darkened instantly after seeing Ye Jiu and Si Nan whispering to each other for a long ti and then Ye Jiu handing him sothing before leaving.
He silently approached Si Nan from behind and saw him squatting on the ground, holding a small box, lost in thought.
“After we reach the capital city, you will take your punishnt,” Sikong Mo suddenly said.
Si Nan imdiately tensed up and turned to kneel on the ground, “Understood, I will obey the command.”
But he didn’t know why he was being punished this ti!
Yet he dared not ask, his heart filled with infinite grievance.
