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

The sharp sword intent seemed to split him in half. Lian Gui felt the falling sword intent, his face turned pale instantly, and his legs shook like a sieve.

The sword landed just an inch away from his head and was intercepted by Zhai Yun. Zhai Yun looked at the sword's owner, Qi Nuo, and said, "Don't be impulsive."

As a death warrior, Qi Nuo was not angry when being scolded. He was just instinctively protecting his master, so he swung his sword at Zhai Yun.

Seeing this, Dafu was frightened, but he mustered up his courage and said, "How dare you! We are the people around Lieutenant General Li."

Just because Feng Chenyi was out of favor and had no official position in the army, they were so presumptuous and felt that Feng Chenyi's status was inferior to that of Lieutenant General Li.

Zhai Yun also didn't want to argue about status.

After all, in this military camp, Lieutenant General Li is indeed more prestigious, and he earned his position through his own hard work.

Zhai Yun sneered: "We are all dogs, who is nobler than the other."

When they scolded Zhai Yun and Qi Nuo as Feng Chenyi's dogs, they probably forgot that they were also Lieutenant General Li's dogs.

"You...you..." The boss's face turned red after what Zhai Yun said, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Seeing that one of them was scared to death and the other was angry to death, Zhai Yun pulled Qi Nuo aside.

"Don't care about what they say. The more you care, the more proud they will be. If you act like you don't care, you will only make them angry." Zhai Yun said lightly.

Qi Nuo looked at Zhai Yun and saw that she spoke calmly, as if she had already gotten used to these rumors.

She is obviously just a ten-year-old girl, but she looks so vicissitudes of life that it makes people feel a little distressed.

Zhai Yun turned around and looked at Qi Nuo. Although Qi Nuo's appearance was not outstanding, he exuded a cold aura and gave people the impression of being standardized and neat.

Qi Nuo replied respectfully: "I obey your command."

Zhai Yun was amused by his answer. What Zhai Yun said was from the heart, but he actually thought he was giving orders.

This is probably what it means to be unromantic.

After a while, Lieutenant General Li came out of the barracks angrily and shouted at the busy soldiers, "Stop working! Stop working! We haven't received a cent of the silver promised by Prince Rui yet. If you're working for the court, you should be guarding the Northern Wilderness for the Emperor instead of building some bullshit canal here."

The soldiers, who had been moving large stones for several days, had already been complaining, and when they heard what Lieutenant General Li said, they began to waver.

Tu Shui and Xiao Wu were even more vocal about it. "We've never been this tired even in the military training. Look, your hands are blistered from carrying rocks these past few days. We work over ten hours a day, exhausted and hungry. The food is light and oily, and we're even yawning with hunger in the middle of the night."

At once, everyone felt the same way and started to complain. They had time to rest during training and duty in the military camp, but these days, they had to work almost day and night to meet the deadline for canal construction.

All the soldiers put down their work and said, "We can't repair it without money. We might as well go back and rest early."

Lian Gui and Da Fu, having just suffered a setback, were now adding fuel to the fire. "Prince Rui is still too young to care about building a canal. One hundred thousand taels is no small sum. We shouldn't trust him!"

"Let's go back to the barracks. We quit." Lian Gui smashed the shovel and instigated others to leave.

Feng Chenyi walked out of the camp and coldly ordered: "Anyone who leaves will be killed without mercy."

The soldiers who were about to leave stopped and looked at Feng Chenyi, angry but not daring to say anything.

"Why do you want to kill us? We are all stationed in the Northern Wilderness for the court. We have killed bandits and made contributions. You are a rookie who hasn't even grown all his hair yet. Why do you want to kill the meritorious officials of the court?" Dafu was a little unconvinced.

"While we were killing enemies on the battlefield, you were still breastfeeding. And this time it's not that we disobeyed orders, it's that you couldn't raise the money. We brothers can't waste our time with you." An older soldier said passionately.

Qi Nuo stepped forward and said, "Prince Yinliang has arrived and is on his way."

"Don't listen to them, they just want to trick us into working." Lian Gui was so angry that his face turned green when he saw that it was Qi Nuo who was speaking. They were the favorites of Lieutenant General Li, and no one in the military camp dared to be rude to them.

Lieutenant General Li watched as everyone started to fight alone, and looked at Feng Chenyi with a smug look on his face.

Feng Chenyi glanced at everyone coldly, disdaining to explain and never explaining.

"Constructing the canal to divert water is crucial for the drinking water needs of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in our military camp, and it's also crucial to people's livelihoods. The valley has inexhaustible water. Once the canal is built, everyone can drink and bathe freely."

I would like to ask everyone here, how long has it been since you had a good bath?

Is Prince Rui acting just for himself?"

Zhai Yun couldn't bear it for a moment when she saw those complacent villains.

Everyone present was stunned. Yes! In the Northern Wasteland, there was no grass growing, water resources were scarce, and there were daily restrictions on drinking water.

Take a bath. How long has it been since they last took a bath?

As soon as Zhai Yun said this, everyone lowered their heads in shame. Someone had a change of heart and said, "There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the camp. It only takes 100,000 taels of silver. If everyone contributes a little, we can repair the canal."

All the soldiers suddenly realized, yes! One hundred thousand taels sounds like a lot, but if each person gets one tael, then hundreds of thousands of people are hundreds of thousands.

"we agree."

"we agree."

The voices rang out in unison.

When Lieutenant General Li and his men Dafu, Liangui and others saw this scene, their faces turned blue and purple, and they wanted to bite their teeth to pieces.

"Hongxi Escort Agency donated 100,000 taels of silver for canal construction!" A loud voice came from far away.

Zhai Yun felt relieved. They arrived in time and there was no riot in the army yet.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a carriage carrying several boxes escorted by several people coming towards them. Although it was a bit slow, it finally arrived.

The leader was Dayi, a death squad trained by Mr. Rui. Zhai Yun gave him this code name because there were too many people and she was afraid she couldn't remember them all, and thinking of names was a bit tiring.

So Zhai Yun simply gave the six death squads sent by Mr. Rui code names, from freshman to senior year, and ranked them according to their height.

Da Yi walked forward, bowed, and then asked quietly, "Excuse me, who is the supervisor?"

Everyone made way for him, and Feng Chenyi appeared before him. He had met Prince Rui before, so to avoid suspicion, he asked, "Are you the Supervisor Prince Rui?"

Qi Nuo stepped forward and took over, "This is none other than King Rui."

After getting a positive answer, Dayi had the boxes moved to Feng Chenyi, and then opened them one by one. The white silver suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Amidst everyone's astonishment, Dayi knelt on one knee before Feng Chenyi and saluted, "Hongxi Escort Agency has settled in Fengling City. My escort leader is very worried about the water supply problem. Upon hearing that Prince Rui is diverting water and building a canal, he specially sent silver to help with the urgent need."

Qi Nuo stepped forward, counted some silver, and reported to Feng Chenyi:
