The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1751: Chapter 1751: Asking Meng Yunzheng for Help

Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, and heard Qi Lie say, ”Didn’t you warn General Huang in advance and uncover the mole beside him? Since we know who they are, let’s use their plan against them and intentionally leak the message that we’re going to act again at night.”

The enemy revealed the plan to Third Young Master Wu and his group. Just as they were preparing a counter-strategy, General Huang unexpectedly charged with his troops yesterday afternoon, catching those rebels off guard. Nearly half of them were either killed or captured, resulting in a major victory.

”Really?” Shu Yu was excited. No wonder the soldiers brought by Qi Lie were so thrilled earlier. It’s hard not to be excited about a successful first battle.

Qi Lie nodded, ”I even captured Fourth Chang and presented him directly to General Huang.”

Fourth Chang? Shu Yu remembered him as Fourth Master Chang from the black market, who was responsible for labor and human trafficking.

”What about Third Wu and his gang?”

Qi Lie squinted, ”They’re now hiding and scattered far apart, so for now, we have to cease fighting. General Huang is trying to come up with something, and he said your method of defeating them one by one in Chenggu County was effective and can be used.”

”With them dispersed, will they target ordinary citizens? We overheard in the black market that they seemed to want to attack the neighboring county, but didn’t succeed, right?”

Qi Lie shook his head, ”With me around, I naturally won’t let them succeed. The situation in Chenggu County...” He sighed, ”I apologize, my time in the black market was too short. They had a plan well in advance and suddenly acted, while I was not inside the black market at the time and couldn’t prevent it.”

The most critical issue is that Chenggu County internally has two secret tunnels leading directly to the black market. County Magistrate Cheng was colluding with the black market, working in tandem, leading to such severe consequences.

But this time, since I know, and am among those in action, I certainly won’t stand by and watch.

Moreover, I know General Huang will come over in these few days, so delaying a bit is enough.

Qi Lie created some trouble for Third Wu and Fourth Chang, stirred up a little conflict, naturally hindering their movements.

Qi Lie raised his head and said to Shu Yu, ”Don’t worry, those rebels now have no choice but to leave other citizens alone. Their original goal is to stall for time, keep General Huang in Changjin Prefecture. Killing General Huang would be ideal; if not, they can hold him here temporarily, allowing operations in the capital to proceed smoothly. However, this fits our intentions as well, as our current target is the magistrate of Changjin Prefecture.”

Shu Yu suddenly realized that County Magistrate Cheng of Chenggu County, that malignant tumor, had been removed.

But that magistrate, still steadily holding his position as a fourth-grade Imperial Mandate officer.

Qi Lie said, ”I came not only to transport weapons but also to seek Meng Yunzheng’s help to go to Changjin Prefecture. Where is he?”

”Resting at home.” Shu Yu hesitated a moment, ”He hasn’t slept for two days.”

Qi Lie, ”...” You’re very open about sympathizing with your man.

”Don’t worry, we’ll act at night again, just have him follow us for now. We’ll make sure he eats and drinks properly before working.”

Shu Yu didn’t believe it at all. Seeing Xia Yi, it’s clear they don’t stop until they’ve squeezed people dry.

Qi Lie coughed lightly and tentatively asked, ”Could you find someone to take a trip to the Meng family and bring him over? The weapons here have been handed over, and we should be going.”
