Chapter 299 Follow Me

So that night, he had nightmares and couldn't sleep. Even though there were many people sleeping with him, he felt as if someone was lurking in the shadows, as if someone could take his head off the moment he fell asleep.

Zhao Wu fell silent; it seemed he had finished speaking.

Tang Yue tilted her head slightly and glanced at him discreetly, noticing that his eyes were still closed and his mouth was tightly pursed.

She thought he must have been terrified, but that's all in the past now.

She reached out and touched his head, her voice gentle: "Yes, you did a great job, Zhao Wu. You are a hero, just like those who are buried in foreign lands."

"Really?" His voice was very soft.

"Yes, Zhao Wu, we are all proud of you."

Zhao Wu then opened his eyes and nodded seriously: "Thank you, Yue. Are you still angry with me?"

Tang Yue paused in stroking the dog's head, her eyebrows curving slightly, her tone shifting from gentle to haughty: "You don't have to be angry, but I need you to do something for me."

Zhao Wu's eyes lit up: "What is it? Tell me, anything I can do!"

"Hehe, you can definitely do it. Get up and come with me."

Tang Yue stood up, patted her bottom, and jumped off the roof first.

Zhao Wu followed closely behind.

Until we reached the depths of the peach grove.

Tang Yue stopped. She deliberately walked faster than Zhao Wu, just to do something subtle.

Bang!

A heavy thud was heard, and as the dust settled, Zhao Wu arrived.

He stopped next to Tang Yue, staring blankly at the huge, thick log that had suddenly appeared in front of him.

"You...you don't want me to help you carry this piece of wood to the carpenter's shop, do you?"

She overestimated him. This thing must weigh at least... at least several hundred pounds, right?

How could he possibly carry that by himself!

Tang Yue raised her chin slightly: "Hmm, you're the one who should lift it. Do you know how rare this piece of wood is? It's super rare Phoebe zhennan wood, which symbolizes good fortune and is the best wood for making memorial tablets." If it weren't for how sad he was, she wouldn't have been willing to take it out. She only has one of these!

"Nan...Nanmu?"

He knew about nanmu, especially golden nanmu, which was a very precious wood and extremely rare.

"Where...where did you get this?" You didn't steal it, did you?

His eyes looked strange.

Tang Yue's eyes flickered: "Uh... it doesn't matter where I got it. Anyway, this is for you. You can find a carpenter to make it into a monument, then frame it with special materials and send it to the War King. I think the War King will find a way to use this good wish in a local way."

“But…aren’t you carpenters?” Zhao Wu scratched his head.

Tang Yue rolled her eyes upon hearing this.

"I've already given you such valuable timber, and you still expect me to work for you for free? Take the timber to the War King and ask the old emperor to pay for it. Honestly, can't you even use your brain?"

Such a large project, even if she herself was willing, she wouldn't want Li Yang and the others to work for free, and who would she treat as cheap labor!

Besides, the old emperor gets all the credit for this kind of thing; if he doesn't pay, who will?

Zhao Wu: "...Understood. Shall we deliver it to the War King's Mansion now?"

"If you're not afraid of bothering people in the middle of the night, I can go with you."

This is a good opportunity to get to know War King again.

"Then forget it, let's see tomorrow."

Carrying such a large log in the middle of the night, if someone sees it, they'll surely report it to the authorities. He'd better meet with the prince tomorrow and ask him to think of a solution.
