Chapter 699: Chapter 681: Giving a gift!_1

Zhao Liu had a mysterious expression.

"All this is because, every spring and autumn, each mountain top here has to pay silver to Jang Si Lang, who stands guard at the postal relay station on the road to Shu. Otherwise, how could we have this peace? Now, the days of the Autumn Harvest are approaching, madam, it would be better to make plans sooner to avoid being without a strategy at the crucial moment."

Having said this, Zhao Liu rushed to respond to the increasingly frequent calls from the other end, hurriedly finished speaking, and then quickly left.

Leaving Su Pan’er alone standing there, it took her a while to regain her senses.

It wasn’t until the busy Uncle Xiao came back, saw her standing alone under the sun, that he woke her up, "Madam, the sun is too harsh, standing in the blazing sun like this, be careful not to get sunstroke!"

It was then that Su Pan’er jolted back into consciousness, and quickly called Uncle Xiao over, "Uncle Xiao, I just met a mountain robber called Zhao Liu who told me..." She hurriedly repeated what Zhao Liu had said.

"Uncle Xiao, what do you think of Zhao Liu’s words? How credible are they?"

Uncle Xiao pondered for a while, "I think, what this man is saying does not seem fake. It is not difficult to know whether this matter is true or not, we just need to separately question each of the remaining mountain robbers on the mountain."

Su Pan’er thought this was a good idea, so she immediately let Uncle Xiao proceed with it.

By evening, Uncle Xiao had come back to report, "There is truth to what Zhao Liu said. In the past, the leaders of these mountains would pay silver to Jang Si Lang at the postal station every spring and autumn. The specific amount was not known to these little henchmen. However, according to them, if the stolen silver was not enough, it could also be made up with equivalent food or valuable items..."

Su Pan’er thought of the few precious items among the things she had sent away with the rascal pig in the morning.

"Madam, what do you think we should do about this situation?"

"What to do? Hehe..."

Su Pan’er laughed, "Now, this place is under the jurisdiction of Huaying county. However, Prince Xuan has self-proclaimed and the county governor of Huaying has surrendered to him. He has already taken a stance against us, so there is no reason for us to fear him. However, this solves my confusion. I thought this No Man’s Land was fertile ground, but it turns out it’s a piece of fat meat that everyone wants to bite!"

"Madam makes sense."

Uncle Xiao had a smile on his face, "If they don’t come to ask for silver, so be it. If they dare to come, we’ll deal with them, and take the opportunity to rob them again, it would not be bad to replenish some military pay!"

"This is a great idea!"

Su Pan’er clapped her hands with joy!

"Let’s do as Uncle Xiao has planned!"

Thanks to this conversation, Su Pan’er and her company weren’t as strict in their supervision of the remaining mountain robbers, allowing them to move freely.

However, she strictly prohibited these mountain robbers from approaching certain places. The conference hall and the area around her residence, as well as the back mountain, and the temporary residence of the womenfolk, were all included in this prohibition.

Luckily, most of these mountain robbers were poor people who had to become robbers out of desperation. They weren’t really gangsters or villains, most of them were good people. Of course, if there were truly big villains among them, they would have been killed by Su Pan’er long ago.

The life on the mountain gradually fell into a routine, peaceful and stable. Su Pan’er often forgot that she was in a bandit’s den.

The only time this notion was apparent was when she woke up in the middle of the night, looked out the window at the cold bright moon, and thought of Qin Yi in the middle of the river, making it hard for her to sleep.

Qin Yi missed her too!

Often battling the enemy forces day and night, whenever he managed to close his eyes, that naughty little woman would quietly sneak into his dreams and entangle him. When he woke up from the dream, only warmth remained in his hand, but the beauty of the dream was far away. His heart felt even more empty!

The rascal pig had delivered the food, fodder, and Thunderbolt guns Su Pan’er had sent him!

This food just filled the few carts of food he had initially disguised with soil as a cover.

However, seeing the rascal pig suddenly spit out these food, fodder, and Thunderbolt guns, even though Qin Yi already knew about the pig’s ability, he was still shocked to see it!

After the initial shock, there was wild joy!

As he was instructing his elite soldiers to quietly move the food and fodder into the granary, he also ordered his servants to prepare delicious food and drink, to serve this pig lord!

The rascal pig was smug!

Its pig’s mouth was raised high, almost reaching the sky. Its thin pigtail was wagging constantly behind its round plump pig’s butt, creating a strong wind!

But Qin Yi still had a smile on his face as he respectfully allowed it to sit at the table to eat and drink!

Who could blame him? This pig lord had done a great thing!

However, Jun Ruochen, who was trapped in the middle of the river, didn’t know about this side’s movements.

Presently, having sent away Su Huarong, he was in a state of worrying again. Thinking of General Cao’s departure, feeling that he was likely to be oppressed, which would further implicate the Jun family with him, he was in a terrible state of anxiety.

Just then, someone reported that General Qin in the river had sent a gift from the front line, specifically asking Great General Jun to open it personally.

After pondering for a moment, Jun Ruochen agreed, "Bring it in."

When it was really brought in, looking at the square box, Jun Ruochen scrutinized it left and right, and after a long time, he could not figure it out.

A deputy general nearby couldn’t help suggesting, "General, there is a strange smell coming from this box. I’m afraid there might be a trick inside. Why don’t we take it outside and open it?"

Thinking of Qin Yi’s character, Jun Ruochen waved his hand: "Qin Yi is not the kind of person who would do such despicable things. Someone, open this box!"

This was definitely going to be opened on the spot!

When the deputy general saw that nothing could detour him, he reluctantly asked one of his clever subordinates to step forward and open the box.

The subordinate, skilled and audacious, performed some warm-up movements, and then carefully lifted a crack in the box. He leaned towards it and immediately got scared, dropping the box.

"Oh my! There, there, there is..."

The trembling subordinate kept pointing at the box but couldn’t say clearly what was inside.

The deputy general was so angry that he rushed over and kicked him!

"Can’t you speak? What on earth is inside? Spit it out!"

Even though the box had already been opened, instead of lifting the lid of the box to see what was inside, he went around kicking his subordinate. The truth of the matter is that he was scared.

His fear was preventing him from lifting the lid of the box. That’s why he forced his subordinate to do it!

Jun Ruochen also looked displeased. After calming himself, he stepped forward to open the box and looked inside....

Just one look, the lid of the box slipped from his hand and slammed shut again with a bang. Losing all hope, he slumped back into his chair.

After a while, he shook his head with a pale face, "Qin Yi’s actions are clearly trying to push me to a dead end! Never mind, never mind, never mind ... Alas! It seems this is my fate!"
