359 Annoyed to Death
Seeing that there was no one around, Gu Qingxue quickly asked Hunter Zhang to leave.
After Hunter Zhang Left, Gu Qingxue knocked on Ji Yan’s room door.
To Gu Qingxue’s surprise, Ji Yan did not rest even though it was already late. When Gu Qingxue knocked on the door, he had already opened the door.
Ji Yan did not wait for Gu Qingxue to be curious and smiled honestly, “I heard someone knocking on the door just now, so I waited patiently for the situation. Does Lady Gu need me to deliver the medicine to the old village chief?”
!!
Gu Qingxue nodded and asked, “Can you do it?”
Ji Yan was in a difficult position, but he said honestly, “Logically speaking, it should be possible. Lady Gu might not know, but my relationship with Lieutenant Yu is like fire and water. These two days, when he discovered that I was secretly delivering medicine to the villagers, he did everything he could to stop me and wanted to catch me. If I were to deliver the medicine, it would be very easy for Lieutenant Yu to find out.”
With Ji Yan’s strength, it was not difficult for him to deliver the medicine to the old village chief.
However, this was not the only thing they needed to consider. Once Ji Yan was found out, it would be disobeying Prince Heng’s orders.
“Prince Heng and His Royal Highness are political enemies to begin with. If this matter is exposed, it will indeed be easy for Prince Heng to use it against us,” Gu Qingxue said with a grave expression, “Moreover, the most important thing is that Prince Heng is waiting for an opportunity to seize our loophole. Once he finds out, he will make a big fuss over nothing and really drive us out of Tie Family Village. Then, the villagers will really suffer.”
They could continue to stay in Tie Family Village, and occasionally find an opportunity to prepare some soup for the villagers to take secretly.
Once all of them were driven out of the village, the villagers would lose their last bit of hope.
For the sake of more villagers, they could not risk their lives.
Gu Qingxue thought for a while in silence, then looked at Ji Yan and asked, “You have a bad relationship with Lieutenant Yu. It seems that you have been in contact with him a lot. I suppose you know him well.”
Ji Yan nodded, “I’ve been training with him since we were young. Since then, we haven’t been on good terms with each other, and we’ve been fighting all day long. Perhaps it’s because I’ve been in contact with him a lot, so I know him well in all aspects. Why did Lady Gu suddenly ask this?”
“I saw you and Lieutenant Yu fighting endlessly that day, and I thought he had a bad temper. In that case, we might be able to use this to our advantage,” Gu Qingxue said, a hint of a smile rising from the depths of her pitch-black eyes. She lowered her voice and quickly whispered the plan into Ji Yan’s ear.
Ji Yan nodded in agreement. After listening to Gu Qingxue’s words, he raised his hand and gave her a few thumbs up. “Lady Gu, you are indeed the smartest and most resourceful! Don’t worry, I am the best at what you have instructed me to do. I guarantee that you will be satisfied!”
Gu Qingxue nodded in satisfaction. “Wait for me for a moment. When I’ve finished brewing the medicine, we’ll go look for the old village chief.”
Ji Yan nodded in agreement and watched as Gu Qingxue went to brew the medicine.
Half an hour later, in the courtyard where the old village chief lived, it was the place where Lieutenant Yu and the others had found a place to stay in the village for the past few days.
Even when it was late at night, the guards did not all rest. Lieutenant Yu and three of his subordinates were sitting around the bonfire. The four of them were keeping vigil while drinking and eating meat. They were very happy.
Lieutenant Yu drank a mouthful of wine and could not help but complain, “I don’t know how long I have to stay in this damn village before I can go back. I’m so annoyed to be facing that group of unruly people all day long.”
