My supermarket is connected to all worlds, and I've won so much money handing it over to the st

Miss Gu is hungry right now, so this is the perfect time to bargain.

Lord Wei felt a little guilty. He didn't want to take advantage of others' misfortune, but at this moment, they lacked everything, so they naturally had to save as much as possible.

Gu Xixi saw through his thoughts at a glance. When she was in college, she would often sleep in late and have dinner in the afternoon. It was only a little past two in the afternoon now.

She can endure it.

Gu Xixi simply put down her chopsticks and asked seriously, "What does Lord Wei think of my ability to see a thousand miles and hear the wind?"

She threw the question back at her.

Lord Wei was speechless for a moment, and smiled without answering. If he said yes, there would be no way to negotiate the price; if he said no, he really couldn't bring himself to say anything against his conscience about these two precious items.

“Miss Gu, you truly have a keen eye; you've seen through everything. Therefore, I won't hide anything from you. As you've seen, the situation in the countryside is such that I'm afraid I can't offer anything that will satisfy you…”

Seeing that he was no longer playing games, Gu Xixi finally relented, "So, what price does Lord Wei intend to offer?"

"Ten thousand taels of silver for a pair of 'Thousand-Mile Eyes' and 'Follow-the-Wind Ears'—that's the limit of the silver I can afford. Moreover, these goods cannot be sold to anyone else for six months."

Lord Wei's quote was honest, and Gu Xixi nodded in agreement; the price was indeed not low.

However… she still shook her head and refused resolutely, “Let me think about it. I will give you an answer when Lord Wei comes to collect the grain tomorrow. Let’s eat first.”

Let's check the rice orders tomorrow and then decide.

Based on the exchange rate, selling this pair of walkie-talkies and binoculars would be enough to complete her mission, but she also wanted to complete a hidden mission.

She wanted all the rewards.

She also wanted to help Shen Qingyan.

If tomorrow's rice order is enough to meet the mission target, then that's a different story. In modern terms, a large quantity of rice is worth far more than a pair of walkie-talkies and binoculars.

She has to choose the most cost-effective way.

Lord Wei wore a bitter expression, wondering what Miss Gu meant by this—whether she would agree or not.

Is 10,000 taels of silver not enough? That's almost all of his wealth.

But this dish is really delicious.

As Lord Wei ate, he became happy again. Gu Xixi chuckled. She thought Lord Wei was a bit shrewd, but it turned out he was a bit simple-minded.

She and Shen Qingyan exchanged a glance and both lowered their heads and laughed.

After the meal, when Lord Wei was seen off, the people came in to shop.

Cao Cao had been waiting for this opportunity to make money, so she busied herself in the shop serving customers. Gu Xixi finally had a moment to pull Shen Qingyan upstairs and ask, "Why did Lord Wei come to see you today?"

"In order to help the King of Zhen recruit us into the army, my teacher and I joined the army to work for them," Shen Qingyan said frankly. "But I said that my teacher was looking for a friend and had not returned, so we should wait for my teacher to return before discussing it further."

Just as she had guessed.

It's been two days, almost three, and Chen Yanxu still hasn't returned?

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came upstairs. It was Chen Yanxu's voice, "Muzhi, Muzhi, Miss Xixi, you're back too? That's wonderful."

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

"Teacher, you're finally back! Lord Wei has come to invite you to come out of seclusion." Gu Xixi quickly led the two up to the third floor and handed each of them a bottle of water.

Chen Yanxu took several sips to calm his nerves. “I know about this matter. When I went to Qingfeng County, I met Meng Xue and several other disciples who had participated in the disaster relief efforts. They all spoke highly of the King of Zhen. However, the situation is still uncertain, and they are all currently waiting for an opportunity while they are idle in Qingfeng County.”

“They strongly support us joining the King of Zhen’s forces. Besides, the notices that the King of Zhen sent Lord Wei to post at the supermarket entrance are not only here, but also in Qingfeng County and several nearby counties. My delayed return is because I have investigated them one by one. Moreover, the policies we want to implement have already been precedented when we were on the frontier.”

Everything Chen Yanxu said was an expression of admiration for the true king.

"Since the King of Zhen has already promised to implement our policies and sent someone to invite us, and given that his ascension to the throne is inevitable, why don't we go with the flow? What do you think, Mu Zhi?"

After Chen Yanxu finished speaking, his face already showed the drive to do something big and the joy of finding a wise leader.

Shen Qingyan pondered for a moment, "Since the teacher has already made the assessment, the students will naturally follow the teacher. It is our blessing to find a wise ruler."

He felt he had been given a second chance at life, and even if he didn't have a good end after completing his mission, he would still feel he had no regrets in this life.

Gu Xixi understood; it seemed they were definitely going to join the rebel army.

"Sister Gu, some bandits are looking for you." Cao Cao called from the bottom of the stairs. Gu Xixi immediately closed the door and went downstairs. Bandits... they must be the ones who went on business trips to distribute flyers.

She walked out of the supermarket, and sure enough, it was the same group of people.

The bandit leader, with a fawning expression, said, "Miss Gu, you're finally back! We've distributed all the flyers you gave us, but when we came looking for you, you weren't there."

"Lord Shen said you went home and wouldn't be back until tomorrow, so we came to wait for you today. We didn't expect you to be back already. We just wanted to ask if you have any further instructions. If not, we have a favor to ask."

As they talked, their faces grew increasingly radiant with excitement.

Gu Xixi became curious and asked, "Tell me about it."

"Could you please allow us to work under Lord Shen in the future? Our entire mountain stronghold has long admired Lord Shen..."

"Yes, yes, we certainly admire you, Miss Gu, but since your whereabouts are unpredictable, you certainly can't take us back, so..."

“We, the entire village, have deeply regretted our actions and are truly repentant. We will never commit crimes, robbery, or murder again. Please give us this chance, young lady.”

……

The group knelt on the ground, and Gu Xixi said, "Oh: [System, check the crimes committed by the people in their village]."

[They had been bandits for ten years, and their surrender now likely has ulterior motives. According to records, many people in their village, regardless of age or gender, were involved in criminal activities.]

After the system gave its indifferent reply, Gu Xixi understood.

Gu Xixi smiled, her smile kind and bright. "Of course I'd like to see people lay down their weapons and turn away from evil to good. Have you truly recognized your mistakes and decided to sincerely repent?"

The bandits immediately nodded happily, all agreeing.

"Alright, then I'll give you that chance. While I do advocate laying down your weapons, I don't agree with becoming a Buddha overnight. After all, that would be unfair to those who have always been good people and those who have been harmed by bad people."

Gu Xixi changed the subject, and the bandits were immediately stunned. Didn't they just agree? What did this mean?

“But I really can’t refuse your awareness, so I will immediately send your entire village to Qingfeng County prison to be executed.”

"Since you already know you're wrong, confess your crimes properly and accept your punishment. After sentencing, some of you will be released alive. Then you can go and seek refuge with Lord Shen, and that will prove your sincerity. I'm sure Lord Shen won't refuse you then."
