Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

After Li Yuan left, Wei Qiqi also started to get busy in Jiguan Mountain.

It seemed like it was always like this. When Li Yuan went out, she could concentrate on doing her own things.

Ji Guanshan has a lot of things to deal with every day, but most of them will not be brought to her.

Jianfeng Jianyu handles the trivial matters on Jiguan Mountain every day just like the emperor handles state affairs.

In the past, with Li Yuan in charge, the people below had a backbone, and everything was handled well. Now that Li Yuan has taken away most of the people and the centurions, the remaining people have no superiors, and no backbone, and they have to bother Jianfeng Jianyu with trivial matters every day.

But today, the two of them came to Wei Qiqi and said they wanted to tell her something.

Wei Qiqi and Ye Yuanxin were continuing to consolidate the next lesson. Ye Yuanxin now formed a propaganda team with Huo Xiuwen's wife, and the things to be promoted were often discussed with Wei Qiqi before being released.

While he was busy, Jianfeng Jianyu arrived in front of him.

"Master, there is something we thought you might want to know."

Wei Qiqi put down the brush in his hand, then looked up at the two people standing there and said, "Sitting down first is so serious."

After Jian Feng and Jian Yu sat down, Jian Feng first glanced at Ye Yuanxin, then carefully said, "Master, we received news from intelligence personnel in Xuancheng that Ye Yuanjiang and Ye Yuanfeng are still alive."

Wei Qiqi listened for a long time before Jian Feng finally came up with this. She and Ye Yuanxin looked at each other, and finally said: "I thought you were going to say something, of course they are alive, if they die so easily, they are not them..."

Although she said so, she also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Still alive after all.

There was no expression on Ye Yuanxin's face, but a faint smile still appeared in his eyes.

They all believed that Ye Yuanfeng and Ye Yuanjiang were alive, but it was still different from hearing the truth.

"What happened? Tell me in detail."

Jian Yu began to talk about what happened to Ye Yuanfeng and Ye Yuanjiang after they left.

People from Jiguana Mountain infiltrated Xuancheng from the very beginning.

The original plan was to come to Xuancheng and get a foothold before contacting each other.

That person sneaked into Xuancheng and worked as a waiter in a restaurant. One day, several people came to their restaurant, both men and women, and seeing their appearance, the waiter paid more attention to them.

When the waiter brought people to serve the dishes, there were a few pieces of paper spread out on the table with handwriting that the waiter was familiar with.

He was very familiar with that kind of handwriting.

Because the secret language used is the one from Jiguan Mountain.

The waiter followed these people quietly after they finished eating, and followed them to an unknown place, where he was slashed on the back of the neck by a knife and fell unconscious.

When he woke up again, he was tied up and interrogated.

The misunderstanding was resolved after both sides interrogated each other and realized that they were one of their own.

"This is the letter they sent through their informant."

Jian Yu took out two letters and handed them to Wei Qiqi.

One for her and the other for Ye Yuanxin.

The envelope was opened and there were two letters, one written by Ye Yuanfeng and the other written by Ye Yuanjiang.

What the two wrote were similar, both saying that they were fine and not to worry. Now it’s good to know that they are safe too.

Finally, he mentioned that Xuancheng has roots after all, and they will carefully and covertly develop their power, and hoped that Wei Qiqi would agree.

After knowing their recent situation, Wei Qiqi's mood became brighter.

"Write them a reply later. If you have a reply, include mine in it as well." Wei Qiqi turned around and said to Ye Yuanxin.

Ye Yuanxin was very happy and nodded repeatedly, unable to put down the letters written to her by her two brothers.

After the confidence was expressed, life on Jiguan Mountain was very peaceful and nothing particularly big happened.

If there is anything more important, it is probably that the potatoes and sweet potatoes are finally ripe and have begun to be dug out.

This place is located in the south, and there were only one or two days of sporadic snow. After that, the sun was out all the time, and the weather was cold, but no snow fell.

The soil was relatively soft. There were about two to three hundred people on Jiguan Mountain. Apart from the necessary patrols and guard duty, everyone else who could go ran to the back mountain to see the potatoes and sweet potatoes that Madam Wei had mentioned.

Wei Qiqi was turning over the soil by herself, and she showed everyone how to dig potatoes and sweet potatoes.

There were a lot of people crowded around, but Wei Qiqi was not afraid. He spoke slowly and loudly, "Look, the seedlings are yellow, which means the potatoes are ripe. Pull them from the top down, at an angle so it's easier..."

As he spoke, he picked one with yellow leaves and pulled it out diagonally with force.

When he first pulled it out, it didn't move at all. Wei Qiqi shook the vine left and right twice and with great force, three or four potatoes rolled out along with the mud and soil. Each of them was the size of an adult man's fist.

When everyone saw the yellowish object being brought out from the bottom, they all looked at it curiously.

Wei Qiqi pointed at the potatoes with roots under the seedlings and said, "There are three or four of them. If you dig in the future, follow this pit and dig downwards and to the sides. There are probably several more in there. Look carefully."

Everyone nodded.

Someone couldn't wait any longer and asked, "Madam Wei, how do you eat this potato?"

This question was a soul-searching one. It made everyone's eyes light up and they all stared at Wei Qiqi.

"There are many ways to cook this. You can steam it and eat it directly, deep-fry it, eat it cold, or stir-fry it..."

She said too much, and there were many things they didn't know, so everyone could only swallow their saliva.

"Madam Wei, does the one you mentioned taste good?"

The person who asked the question was a young man who was not too afraid of Wei Qiqi. When he asked this question, Wei Qiqi understood the intentions of these people.

"No, these potatoes and sweet potatoes we dug up cannot be eaten this year. They are to be used as seeds. Wait a few months, and when there are more potatoes and sweet potatoes planted, I will bring people to make some delicious food for you."

"So everyone, work harder and dig out everything in the soil." Wei Qiqi called out. Hearing this, the others smiled and began to dig up potatoes and sweet potatoes from the ground, following Wei Qiqi's example.

As instructed, they dug the ground very deep, and finally, after they could not find a single potato, they put what they had dug aside.

When planting potatoes and sweet potatoes, most of the land is already planted with other crops, so only a small part of sweet potatoes and potatoes are planted in some areas that have been reclaimed later and have not yet been planted.

That one sweet potato and one potato produced a lot of fruit.

According to Wei Qiqi's estimation, maybe she was born lucky, but she could grow almost a sack of food from just one sweet potato and one potato.

If these are cut into small pieces and planted as seeds, then when the next harvest comes, almost all the brothers on Jiguan Mountain will be able to taste them.
