The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night

"Look, look! Brother Pei, you have raised a wonderful daughter! I really envy you!"

Qian Wuyong praised sincerely.

Pei Shijie has a good family background and his two daughters are both good.

The eldest daughter married into the Qian family and treated Qian Jinru as an equal, with whom she had a deep affection. She was also very smart and quick to understand business matters, and the Qian family was not dissatisfied.

This little daughter is born brave and loyal. She was not afraid at all when facing the mob today. She was able to argue and stand up to save her father. Not bad!

Looking at his youngest daughter, who was in her prime, she should have been charming and beautiful, embroidering and reciting poems at home, but she didn't like the red makeup and preferred the military makeup, so she followed him out to suffer on the dam.

After the flood, Pei Shijie collapsed and was unable to recover. If it were not for his daughter Pei Xin's unwavering care, he would have died long ago.

"Also, Brother Pei. The Emperor has already sent Duke Dingguo and Prince Qin south to provide disaster relief and investigate the dam breach."

Duke Dingguo and King Qin?

Pei Heng and Huan Ge'er are coming?

Before Pei Shijie could respond, Qian Wuyong came over and whispered in his ear in a low voice:

"Brother Pei, it seems the emperor still trusts you. He's intentionally showing you some leniency, otherwise he wouldn't have let Duke Dingguo and the King of Qin handle this case. Don't worry, I'll speak for you in front of Duke Dingguo and the King of Qin."

Pei Shijie laughed at himself a few times.

He was already guilty, so why did he need the emperor to show mercy? He hadn't died yet because he couldn't let go of the people along the river who had been displaced, and he was worried that the officials in charge of disaster relief were deceiving their superiors and enriching themselves.

Since Pei Heng and Huan Ge'er are in charge of this matter, he can go with peace of mind.

It just makes my mother suffer.

Poor thing, she has to see her loved one die before her.

And then there's my wife, she's never had a peaceful life since she married him. Even though he wants her to remarry, given her personality, she'll definitely remain a widow for him.

Pei Yao has a good home and he doesn't need to worry.

Pei Xin, hey, my youngest daughter has a strong personality. What should I do in the future?

Qian Wuyong and Pei Xin didn't know that he had already made up his mind to die. Seeing his expression relax, they thought he agreed to move out of the shed. They quickly called for help and put Pei Shijie on a stretcher and carried him away.

On the riverbank, the officers and soldiers led by Qian Wuyong set up a large pot and began to cook porridge. The fragrant aroma of rice porridge wafted for miles along the river bank.

The victims who had porridge to drink stopped making trouble. They brought broken bowls and pots and lined up to get porridge.

In a hidden corner, a dozen men gathered together and whispered.

"Damn it! Pei Shijie was about to be dragged out and beaten to death, yet he managed to escape."

"Brother, just rush in and kill him while it's dark!"

"No! The military advisor said that we have to make a big fuss about Pei Shijie's incident in order to stir up the people and encourage them to join us in the uprising. Killing him secretly won't achieve that effect."

"What should I do?"

Following a question from a younger brother, everyone fell silent.

Looking at the long queue winding along the shore, the leader said:

"I didn't expect the imperial court's disaster relief food to arrive so quickly! When did these corrupt officials become so kind? It's like the sun is rising in the west."

The imperial court's disaster relief food arrived quickly, and once the refugees had food, they would not become bandits.

How can they expand their team?

How could their boss Zhou start an uprising? How could he become emperor?

"Let's go back to the stronghold. Report this to the boss and the military advisor and see what they have to say."

A dozen people mingled in the crowd, drank a hearty bowl of porridge, and then hurried back to the village before dark.

In the mountain stronghold, Zhou Kui and Pei Yan were sitting in the Juyi Hall, imagining the future. According to Pei Yan's description, this flood would last for several months, and countless people in the south would be affected.

Floods will occur not only outside Lin'an City, but also in southern Fujian, Quanzhou and other places. By then, uprisings will break out in various places.

Zhou Kui raised the flag at this time, which was just the opportunity to quickly expand his team. When the time came, he could just raise his arms and shout and get a hundred responses.

By then, the rebel army had occupied the south, and Zhou Kui would be able to establish himself as king and compete with the imperial court in the north.

"Hahahaha, Brother Pei has great ambitions and profound strategies. Having you as my military advisor is like adding wings to a tiger! Brother Pei, let me toast you. When the time comes, I will be the emperor and sit on the dragon throne, and you will be my prime minister, second only to the emperor and above everyone else."

Pei Yan laughed, but in his heart he was thinking that when Zhou Kui conquered the world, he would take his place. How could being under one man and above ten thousand others compare to being one man above all others?

He had already fully tasted the power in that life. In this life, he wanted to reach a higher level.

"Thank you for your respect, big brother. I am willing to go through fire and water for you, without hesitation!"

Currently living under Zhou Kui's roof, Pei Yan kept a very low profile. He was the best at making people happy.

"Report!"

A little boy came running in.

"Brother, military advisor, the people who went out are back."

As soon as he finished speaking, those who had been among the disaster victims on the shore during the day came in, shouting in rough voices:

"Brother! We are back."

"How is it? How many people did you bring back this time?"

Zhou Kui asked with a smile.

The leader looked embarrassed.

"Brother, not even one."

"what?"

"Brother, listen to me. We were about to succeed, but that old fellow Qian Wuyong showed up and ruined our plans. Furthermore, he even brought disaster relief food. Right now, the disaster victims down the mountain are all eating porridge."

The man even patted his bulging belly. Honestly, he hadn't eaten so full in all the days he'd been up the mountain. The mountain was full of wild vegetable porridge, thinner than rice soup. Unlike the rice porridge he'd just had, which wouldn't fall apart even with a chopstick, the rice porridge was fragrant and delicious.

"Is there such a thing?"

Zhou Kui was shocked.

You know, the people are very simple-minded. As long as someone provides them with food, they will listen to whoever does it. As for who becomes the emperor, they have no interest in it at all.

"Military Advisor! Didn't you say the court wouldn't provide disaster relief so quickly? Didn't you say that if the people were starving to death, it would be easy to incite them to come up the mountain?"

Zhou Kui had a ferocious look on his face as he stared at Pei Yan.

Pei Yan was a little scared, but he had seen a lot of storms and waves, so he didn't take such a petty thief seriously. He said:

"Brother, isn't this better?"

"What are you talking about! What's good about this?!"

Zhou Kui was about to lose his temper, and Pei Yan said confidently:

"Didn't Big Brother say earlier that the stronghold was short of food and that it would be difficult to accommodate so many people? Look, Qian Wuyong has brought us food."

"???"

Pei Yan was speechless when he saw a group of pigs looking at him in unison.

"Brother, what are we doing? We are the rebels! We are rebelling! Who are we rebelling against? The imperial court! Qian Wuyong is rushing to send us food, so we will put on a good show for them and make them lose both their money and their lives."
