Prince Rui, don't spoil your adopted daughter too much: she will eventually get married

I thought I would wait until the canal was repaired before considering how to use the money.

In order not to delay the construction of the drinking water canal, Zhai Yun changed into new clothes, took the six assassins sent by Feng Chenyi and the people recruited before, and carried several heavy boxes in a mighty procession, beating gongs and drums all the way to the city gate.

Zhai Yun loudly announced to the gathered citizens of Fengling City, "Our Hongxi Escort Agency is officially launching its escort service in Fengling City today. We will escort the convoy northward and strive to wipe out the bandits."

After she finished speaking, Zhai Yun gently raised her hand, and several boxes behind her were opened one after another, revealing hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and the crowd sighed.

Some of them had never seen so much silver at one time in their entire lives.

Zhai Yun continued to explain her intentions: "I heard that the city needs to build a canal to divert water, and it requires 100,000 taels of silver. My Hongxi Escort Agency is willing to donate this 100,000 taels of silver, hoping to establish itself in Fengling City and live in harmony with everyone."

As soon as Zhai Yun finished speaking, a burst of whispers rang out.

"This Hongxi Escort Agency is really rich. They paid out 100,000 taels of silver in one go."

"That's nothing. Didn't you hear from the caravans that came back these past two days that the Hongxi Escort Agency destroyed the local tyrant and took all his money for themselves? Hundreds of boxes were carried into the Hongxi Escort Agency yesterday, and each one was heavy."

"Based on the activity of the Hongxi Escort Agency over the past two days, I'm afraid that within a few days, the name of the Hongxi Escort Agency will be known throughout the world."

"I heard that the entrance to the Hongxi Escort Agency was surrounded by caravans early this morning, all paying a large sum of money to be escorted north."

Zhai Yun listened to all sorts of voices and didn't want to waste any more time, so she quickly ordered: "Send the silver to the supervisory office responsible for the canal construction."

The firecrackers set off by the Hongxi Escort Agency exploded from the beginning of the street to the end of the street, becoming the most lively and spectacular event in Fengling City since ancient times.

Zhai Yun asked his men to take note of all the people who came to do business and to register the goods being transported. He then hurried back to his bedroom and ordered people to guard outside and not allow anyone to enter.

She wanted to see the silver delivered with her own eyes.

Zhai Yun changed her clothes and walked out of the general's mansion through a secret passage, heading straight for Hantan. Along the way, Zhai Yun saw soldiers digging canals with their bare chests.

They had enough manpower and the entire ditch could be completed within fifteen days.

After asking several times, Zhai Yun soon found Feng Chenyi who was directing the work on site. He held the construction drawings in his hand and carefully checked every detail.

Zhai Yun ran over quickly and shouted excitedly, "Brother Yi."

She had accomplished such a perfect thing, and finally she didn't have to hide behind him all the time.

Feng Chenyi turned his head to look at Zhai Yun, and his originally furrowed brows slowly softened. He handed the work in his hands to others and took Zhai Yun into the tent behind him.

"Is everything done?" Feng Chenyi was looking for something on the desk.

Zhai Yun walked over to the tea table and started brewing tea. "How could that be possible? The escort agency just launched its escort, and there are so many things to deal with. There are already a lot of caravans waiting at the door."

"Then you still have time to come here." Feng Chenyi found a map and looked at it carefully.

"Everything has been arranged. I'm lazy and want to see how things are going on your side." Zhai Yun walked along and saw that things were progressing in an orderly manner.

She knew that these things would not be difficult for Feng Chenyi. With the entire military camp doing the hard work, it was only a matter of time before the repairs were completed.

In fact, she was just used to having Feng Chenyi by her side, so she wanted to go to him whenever she had free time.

Zhai Yun prepared tea and called Feng Chenyi over to drink.

Zhai Yun’s tea-making skills were accumulated over two lifetimes, so the taste is naturally excellent.

"Wait until I finish dealing with things here, and I'll go with you on the first escort mission." Feng Chenyi took a sip of tea.

Zhai Yun was happy in her heart. It would be best if Feng Chenyi was free.

Suddenly, a shouting voice rang out from outside the tent, "I want to see the prince, get out of the way."

Qi Nuo's voice came to stop him: "The prince is busy and cannot be disturbed."

"Brothers have been working under the scorching sun for so many days. We are about to start laying the stones, but we still haven't found the glutinous rice paste. When will the 100,000 taels of silver arrive?

Also, brothers, you work so hard, the food should be better, it's just watery soup all day, shouldn't your salary be increased a bit?"

Lieutenant General Li's voice came in waves.

Zhai Yun was riding at full speed alone, so the person delivering the silver naturally couldn't catch up with her, but he should be arriving soon.

Hearing Lieutenant General Li yelling, Zhai Yun stood up and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Feng Chenyi.

Feng Chenyi looked at Zhai Yun and said seriously, "You go out for a walk first. I'll talk to him alone."

Zhai Yun nodded obediently and prepared to get up and leave when Feng Chenyi's voice came from behind her: "Let him in."

As soon as Zhai Yun reached the door, she bumped into Lieutenant General Li. Lieutenant General Li's voice exploded in her ears: "You little brat, are you kidding us? We've been working for so many days and haven't seen a penny."

Zhai Yun found it a bit harsh, but Feng Chenyi had already shouted that she had left, so he must have a way to deal with it.

"Young Master." Zhai Yun walked out of the tent and heard Qi Nuo calling softly.

Zhai Yun nodded in response. Looking at the soldiers busying around, she instinctively wanted to step forward to help, but she was a woman after all, and her strength was too small, and she did not have good martial arts skills.

It was very strenuous to even move a stone. Seeing this, Qi Nuo hurried over and took the stone from Zhai Yun's hand. "Young Master, you don't have to do this."

Zhai Yun was embarrassed. "I just wanted to help, but I didn't expect the stone to be so heavy."

Qi Nuo took out a handkerchief and gave it to Zhai Yun. Zhai Yun took it and wiped the dust off her hands.

Before he could wipe the dust off his hands, a shrill voice rang out, "Hey, isn't this the prince's favorite? It's different when you have a backer. You don't have to do any work. Unlike us, who have no background, Tiantiao has been exposed to the scorching sun and has a layer of skin on his body."

Dafu appeared out of nowhere. As he spoke, he brought his bare arms closer to show Zhai Yun. Although there were shirtless men walking along the way, Zhai Yun could still smell the unpleasant smell of sweat on him when he was so close.

Zhai Yun couldn't help but frown, and deliberately avoided looking at his naked upper body.

Qi Nuo saw that Zhai Yun was very uncomfortable, so he stood in front of Zhai Yun.

Seeing Qi Nuo protecting Zhai Yun, they felt even more unhappy.

"The two dogs beside the prince are really good at being chased together." Lian Gui jumped out from behind Dafu.

Zhai Yun looked behind them and saw Tu Shui and Xiao Wu behind them.

Zhai Yun frowned slightly. These people were really troublesome. They could be seen everywhere.

Zhai Yun's identity was problematic to begin with. The last time she confronted them, it was because they bullied Feng Chenyi. Zhai Yun just wanted to get away with it if they bullied her. If the matter got out of hand, her identity would be exposed, which would only implicate Feng Chenyi.

While he was stunned, a sword sheath hit Lian Gui on the head.
