Chapter 1752: Chapter 1752: Settling Changjin Prefecture Together

Shu Yu took a deep breath, thinking that it was just the end of the auspicious time now, and it had been less than three hours since Meng Yunzheng had gone back to sleep.

Two days and nights, sleeping five or six hours, he would collapse, right?

Qi Lie saw her eyes resisting and was inwardly distressed. Just as he was considering whether to go to the Meng family escort agency himself, he heard a familiar voice from behind.

“Are you looking for me?”

Shu Yu and Qi Lie turned around simultaneously and immediately saw Meng Yunzheng standing not far away.

The latter came forward, scrutinized Qi Lie for a while, and nodded, “It seems Lord Qi’s undercover operation was very successful.” No missing arms or legs.

Qi Lie laughed, “Not as good as you guys; quietly you took down both the black market and Chenggu County. How about enduring one more trip with me to resolve Changjin Prefecture?”

Shu Yu, “…” First the black market, then the county town, and now the prefecture needs to be captured too. If things are resolved here while the capital remains chaotic, would they also have to occupy the capital?

Thinking of this, Shu Yu shuddered suddenly and shook her head, shaking all those terrifying thoughts out of her mind.

In fact, Meng Yunzheng had already guessed Qi Lie’s purpose for this trip; transporting weapons didn’t require him to come personally.

He was definitely here for another reason, and as expected, he had sought him out.

Fortunately, the county town had passed its most dangerous time; he didn’t need to worry too much.

Hence, after a moment of thought, he agreed, “When do we set off?” The sooner things are resolved, the sooner peace of mind.

It was already late November, not long before the New Year. He didn’t want to be busy with these matters during the New Year.

Qi Lie immediately said, “Now.”

Seeing his urgent demeanor, Meng Yunzheng realized the situation in the prefecture didn’t seem optimistic.

He turned to Shu Yu, “Yu, I’ll go with Lord Qi so it’s tough on you here.”

What else could Shu Yu say? She knew he would inevitably go to help, but was just worried about his health.

“Don’t worry about it; I’ll handle things here. Just take care of yourself, be cautious, and don’t rush into danger. We all await your return, safety first.”

Meng Yunzheng squeezed her hand and smiled, “Alright.”

He left alone with Qi Lie, leaving Xia Yan behind.

Qi Lie exhaled, just as the weapon transfer was completed over there, he didn’t delay further and quickly led a group, cautious and vigilant, leaving through the city gates.

Shu Yu ran back up to the city wall, watching their figures gradually disappear before coming down.

Lu Wu planned to return to the county office to sleep, and other laborers were also planning to return to the black market.

Although they wanted to stay above ground, to feel the warmth of the sun outside, Chenggu County still had numerous piled up issues, and they couldn’t get their identities or household registrations completed. Leaving so many people inside the city, not to mention anything else, just finding a place to stay was a problem.

Moreover, they had many matters to handle when they returned to the black market.

Shu Yu escorted them to the abandoned mansion and said to the leading laborer, “Rest assured, once matters here are resolved, we’ll help verify your identities and process your registrations as soon as possible.”

The leading laborer grinned foolishly, his smile bright and relaxed, with none of the numbness or lifelessness from his time in the black market.

“Thank you, Monarch Lu Xiang, we’ll head back first. Oh, those girls also asked me to convey their thanks to you.”
