Ji Yunshuang didn't speak, but looked at the pillar behind the two and said, "Do you think I should keep them here, Yan Qi?"

Both of them were surprised, not expecting that there were other people present besides them.

The key point is that they didn't notice at all.

Both of them were filled with surprise and followed Ji Yunshuang's gaze. They saw Lu Yanqi walk out from behind the pillar with a blank expression.

Lu Yanqi glanced at the two of them, then looked away and said, "Mother, are you asking me?"

Ji Yunshuang nodded and repeated, "Yes, do you think we should keep them?"

Qiu Yuan and Zhong Xu were both puzzled, not understanding why Ji Yunshuang would ask a child about such an important matter.

Lu Yanqi's palms were sweaty at this moment.

She must have already discovered that she was reborn, right? How is he supposed to answer her?

He had memories of Qiu Yuan and Zhong Xu from his past life.

He remembered that these two people had followed his father in their previous life and were his father's capable henchmen.

It was precisely because he remembered the two men and knew their character that Wei Zhenfang did not use any means to drive them away when he left them behind.

But what was the woman's purpose in asking him?

He doesn't understand.

Unfortunately, he wasn't usually close to her, and he couldn't just act like a younger sister and try to fool her.

His mind raced, and he said, "Mother, I think we should keep him."

Ji Yunshuang deliberately asked, "Why?"

Lu Yanqi said, "Because they chop wood very well, if we keep them at home, someone will help them chop wood."

Zhong Xu and Qiu Yuan both thought at the same time, "After all, it's just a child."

Ji Yunshuang looked at him and said as if teasing a child, "If we leave them here, they can't stay at home to chop wood. They have to come with me to the army."

Lu Yanqi felt that he understood Ji Yunshuang less and less.

My suspicions are growing.

Ji Yunshuang ignored Lu Yanqi's current mental turmoil and said to Zhong Xu and the other two, "If you want me to accept you, I'll have to see how you perform first. I have something to tell you to do."

Zhong Xu and Ji Yunshuang were both delighted and asked Ji Yunshuang to give them any instructions.

Ji Yunshuang took out a letter she had written earlier from her bosom and gave it to Zhong Xu, asking him to deliver it to Fu Ci as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, Lieutenant General, I guarantee I'll complete the task you assign me." Zhong Xu carefully tucked the letter into his pocket, mounted his horse, and immediately set off.

Ji Yunshuang then said to Qiu Yuan, "Tomorrow, accompany him to the brokerage firm and pick out a few suitable servants."

Before Lu Yanqi could react, Ji Yunshuang had already stuffed a money pouch into his arms.

After briefly saying goodbye to her family, Ji Yunshuang left with Tianrui and Chen Wu.

Watching Ji Yunshuang's departing figure, Lu Yanqi felt a complex mix of emotions.

At this moment, he didn't want to delve any deeper into who she really was. He wanted to treat her like a mother, just like he would a younger sister.

A mother completely different from the woman in his previous life, the mother he imagined.

"Your mother is a woman... It's not easy for her to achieve what she has today, she's worked so hard!"

Gu Chunzhi watched her daughter-in-law's departing figure, sighed, and took the hands of Lu Yanqi and his sister, saying, "Let's go! Go back, wash your face and feet, and go to sleep. Don't let your mother worry."

"Mmm!" Lu Yuzhu nodded obediently and said, "Mother, you've worked hard. I won't cause you any trouble. Go to sleep!"

As she spoke, she yawned.

She was really tired after running around in the mountains for so long today.

Seeing his younger sister yawning repeatedly, Lu Yanqi also put aside his thoughts, gave the money pouch to Gu Chunzhi, and ran back to his room to get a small toothbrush to brush his sister's teeth.

Meanwhile, Ji Yunshuang led Tianrui and Chen Wu to the estate where the grain was stored.

After Chen Wu recognized the location of the manor, he was instructed to find Wan Shitong and bring a carriage and horses over.

Chen Wu immediately followed Ji Yunshuang's instructions to find Wan Shitong.

Ji Yunshuang entered the space again.

After entrusting the affairs of the estate to Chen Wu, she took Xia Biao to Ningxing Prefecture.

Inside the space, Han Zhengping and the others had already woken up.

When the group woke up and saw Xia Biao, they immediately tried to grab his weapons.

Only then did they realize that their weapons, carts, and goods were all gone, and they had arrived in a completely unfamiliar place.

Han Zhengping asked warily, "Where is this?"

"This will be your work area from now on," Xia Biao said, pointing to the hoe at his feet. "Come and get your hoes and get to work!"

Han Zhengping glanced at the hoe on the ground and immediately said, "Why should we listen to you?"

"You don't have to listen," Xia Biao said. "If you don't listen, then just wait to starve to death!"

Han Zhengping sneered, not taking his words seriously, and turned to leave. Once Han Zhengping was gone, the other soldiers followed him.

In an instant, only a group of wounded soldiers with limited mobility remained at the scene.

Xia Biao knew they couldn't get out, but he wasn't worried at all. He continued digging with his hoe.

The side where these soldiers were imprisoned was right next to the side where crops were grown; the rapeseed planted there had already ripened.

After Ji Yunshuang left, Xia Biao took it upon himself to harvest all the rapeseed in the area.

Now that the rapeseed in the field has been harvested, he plans to dig up the land and plant new rapeseed.

Knowing that farming could improve his skills, Xia Biao is now very enthusiastic about farming.

He held a hoe and dug the soil diligently.

The group of wounded soldiers looked at each other, puzzled by his reaction.

Aren't we going to arrest them and force them to farm?

Why didn't he care when they ran away? Are they less important than this land?

Han Zhengping was also puzzled by Xia Biao's reaction, but he didn't have time to think about it at the moment; he just ran away first.

However, he quickly put on a look of utter disbelief.

There was a lush green wheat field right in front of him, but he just couldn't get through it no matter what he did.

It's like being trapped in a maze.

The soldiers who ran alongside Han Zhengping also discovered that there was an invisible wall ahead.

The soldiers panicked and exclaimed, "Captain, what's going on? It looks like something's blocking the way!"

Han Zhengping finally understood why the man hadn't been in a hurry when they ran away – he was certain they couldn't escape!

"How would I know!" he cursed angrily, then turned and walked towards Xia Biao.

As he walked, he observed his surroundings and discovered that the place was incredibly eerie.

Surprisingly, many crops from different seasons were planted together, and they were growing quite well.

There are ghosts!

"Where is this?" Han Zhengping walked up to Xia Biao and asked, "Where are our carts, horses, and goods?"

Xia Biao said impatiently, "Get out of the way, don't block my digging!"

Han Zhengping stood still. "Answer my question first."

Xia Biao glared at him angrily and said, "Are you looking for a beating?"

"It seems like you're all alone here! The woman you were with and the tiger aren't here, and you still dare to be aggressive? Do you think all of us together can't beat you?"

As soon as Han Zhengping finished speaking, he threw a punch at Xia Biao.
