The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

Gu Jingzhi already knew the situation here, so he was not surprised.

He glanced around and said, "Let's go. We'll send someone to take over this place later."

Who would have thought that there was such an iron mine on this grassland.

The imperial court strictly controlled the import of salt, iron and tea into the grassland, so it was no wonder that they were willing to risk their lives to come here to settle down and mine. However, now the mine belongs to them.

After arranging everything, Gu Jingzhi left Shi Hanshuo and Yang Le to take charge of the situation, and then left with his personal guards.

……

By the time Gu Jingzhi had dealt with all the matters and arrived at the door of Li's house, it was already completely dark. Gu Jingzhi had no intention of going in to disturb them, but seeing that the lights were still on inside, he went forward and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door was opened from the inside.

Li Xi looked him up and down, and was relieved to see that he was not missing any limbs. "Come in."

Gu Jingzhi followed Li Xi into the yard and locked the door behind him.

in the room.

Li Xi sat on the chair and patted the chair next to him, "Sit down."

Gu Jingzhi sat down and asked, "Why are you still not asleep so late?"

Li Xi: "I'm waiting for you."

Gu Jingzhi had already guessed it, but when he heard her say that, his heart still warmed, "Don't worry, it's okay, the matter has been resolved."

"Why did you come back so late?" Li Xi looked at him. He had only said that they couldn't have dinner together last night.

She thought he would come back today, but he was still not back at dinner time. She admitted that she was a little panicked at that moment.

Li Xi looked at Gu Jingzhi with complicated eyes. She seemed to have fallen into this relationship without realizing it. The man in front of her could already affect her emotions.

"The problem has been resolved long ago, but the effect of your special sleeping pills was too strong, and it took a long time for them to wake up," Gu Jingzhi explained.

Li Xi: …

She never expected this to be the reason.

"But thanks to your knockout drug, we were able to capture them without a single drop of blood this time. We didn't even draw our swords before they were all captured." Gu Jingzhi's lips curved up, with a smile in his eyes. "Yang Le is thinking of asking me for more knockout drugs. He wants to use this method in future battles."

"It's not impossible." Isn't this just another kind of poison gas warfare, except that they are non-toxic.

"Well, if you want, I can make you something that can be used on the battlefield. The current ones are only suitable for small-scale close contact." It would be great if the war could be ended without bloodshed.

Gu Jingzhi wanted to say that the drug was just an external thing after all, and that real skills were still needed on the battlefield, but after hearing her next words, he silently took back the words and said, "Okay."

Of course it cannot be used in daily life. Over-reliance on external objects is not conducive to the growth of one's own strength. Over time, it will lead to dependence on external objects, which is not acceptable. However, it can be used as a killer weapon in special circumstances.

"Okay, then just wait and I'll give it to you in two days."

"Okay, don't worry. There won't be any wars in the near future. You can take your time."

"Okay, look at you, your eyes are full of red bloodshot, you probably haven't slept for the past two days, go back and catch up on your sleep, you don't have to come in the morning tomorrow, just have a good rest."

Before Gu Jingzhi could react, Li Xi pushed him out of the courtyard. She waved at him, "Go quickly, go back and have a good rest."

"Okay." Gu Jingzhi smiled helplessly, pulled Li Xi over and kissed her on the forehead, "You go in and I'll leave."

Li Xi didn't bother to be polite with him. She just took a step back, stepped into the door, slammed it shut, and then there was the sound of someone slamming the door.

Gu Jingzhi, who was outside the door, heard her unhesitating action, laughed, turned around and left, heading towards the general's mansion not far away.

the next day.

Li Xi woke up late today because she waited for Gu Jingzhi quite late yesterday and went to bed quite late as well.

After washing up, Li Xi looked at the sun outside. Hmm, very good, the sun was already at the middle of the sky. It should be about twelve o'clock.

She opened the food box placed in the outer room. In the food box was the breakfast that Gu Jingzhi had sent over. It was a little cold, but Gu Jingzhi knew her habits. He usually would not send her food that could not be stored or would clump together for this meal.

Li Xi picked up a roujiamo. Although it was cold, it still tasted very good.

After dinner, Li Xi remembered that she had promised to make a drug for Gu Jingzhi for large-scale use yesterday, so she went to the pharmacy and started tinkering with it.

On the other side, Ma Han was having lunch with Song Yan and his son.

"Deputy General Ma, try it. This dish is a specialty of our southwest. You can't eat it anywhere else." Song Yan said with a smile.

"Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

Ma Han looked at the red Miao sour soup fish that was pushed towards him, paused for a moment, then picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth. As soon as the fish entered his mouth, Ma Han's neck turned red, and the redness spread along his neck to his face.

He tried to hold it in, but still couldn't help turning his head, covering his mouth and coughing violently twice.

"Cough! Cough! Cough—"

Seeing that he looked very hot, Song Yan asked with concern, "Deputy General Ma, are you okay?"

Ma Han, who had recovered, not only had a red face and neck, but also bloodshot eyes. "I'm fine, but I may have to let General Song down. This sour fish soup is too spicy for me."

Song Zhe smiled and said, "This dish doesn't suit Deputy General Ma's taste, so don't eat it and try other dishes."

Song Yan laughed a few times, "My bad, my bad. It's bitterly cold in the northwest. I heard that people there can eat spicy food. I thought Deputy General Ma could eat spicy food too."

Ma Han lowered his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. People in the Northwest do eat spicy food to ward off the cold, and he himself can eat spicy food, but the spiciness of this sour fish soup is different from the ones he ate in the Northwest. Not only that, it also has a fermented sour taste. The taste is really not good.

He was sure that they had deliberately prepared this dish for him to eat, probably with the purpose of intimidating him and making him look bad.

"I am not blessed enough to enjoy this delicious food. General Song, Major General, you don't have to worry about me. Just eat more." Ma Han smiled and returned the pickled fish to them.

Song Yan and Song Zhe paused after hearing this, but it was only a moment's pause. Soon they picked up a piece of sour soup fish as if nothing had happened and ate it with great enjoyment.

After dinner, Song Zhe waved for someone to clear the table.

The three of them walked to the side and sat down, Song Yan sat at the top, and Song Zhe and Ma Han sat on both sides of him respectively.

The servant came in and served tea, then left.

Song Yan picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and put it on the table with a crisp sound. "We can give the money, but our Southwest Army is not a sucker."
