In the morning, when the sky was barely lit, a group of men, wearing Mongol costumes and horse riding, was rushing frantically along the official road on the outskirts of Qing County. The constant galloping of the horses’ hooves were like drumbeats, and they kicked up dust along the road like a cloud of smoke. When they arrived at the Xiaoyaoshan Manor on the outskirts of the county, some of them dismounted, and one stepped forward, furiously pounding on the manor’s main gate.
The guard, behind the gate of the manor, shouted impatiently, "Who is it, in the early morning!"
Outside the gate, "Quick, bringing an urgent message from the capital, hurry up and open the gate!"
The gatekeeper, hearing about an urgent message from the capital, ran over in two or three steps and opened the gate.
By then, the master of Xiaoyaoshan Manor was already up and waiting, ready to go.
The night before, he received a message from a woman saying that she had returned to the capital. So he made up his mind to catch her and severely discipline her!
Therefore, after hastily getting a half night’s rest, he got up early, had breakfast, and was about to set off when he received the urgent message from the capital.
His father, Mengdan Lelei, was critically ill and he was ordered to return to the capital immediately!
Saknu held the letter with a stern, dark look on his face, seemingly able to squeeze water out. The situation was severe, so he had to go back to the capital. However, it was a pity that the woman might escape and enjoy her freedom for a little longer!
Although he was unwilling to let her go back to the capital and be free, given the circumstances, he didn’t really have any other options to catch her now.
Alright, he would begrudgingly let her go for now. Once he became the true master of Liaodan, there would still be time to deal with her!
After making the decision, Saknu returned to Liaodan reluctantly, taking with him a few hundred of his personal guards!
Cai Wei did not know that hundreds of miles away, someone was angrily plotting against her.
She had made a big harvest last night, and overnight, she had become wealthy. She returned to her space very happily, took a refreshing bath, and had a good sleep in her bedroom filled with gold, silver, and jewels, until it was daylight outside.
After getting up, she wanted to count the loot from the robbery last night, but it took a long time and she concluded that there was too much wealth, which she couldn’t count in a short time.
Helplessly, she could only make a few laps in her space in a mixture of trouble and satisfaction, did some aerobic exercise and checked on the growth of the crops in her space.
The seeds she and Bai Mei planted yesterday had already sprouted, and the crops and vegetables planted before that were to be harvested in a few days. They were all growing very well, with grains full and cabbages’ thick, green leaves, which made her very satisfied.
The next time she went back to Lingbei, these vegetables would be used to feed the soldiers.
Last time she treated the Three Armed Services in Qing County to meat, the surprise in the soldiers’ eyes deeply moved her, reminding her of the anticipation in those eyes and making her determined to improve the soldiers’ meals!
A pair of green pea-like black eyes came up with an expectant look, "Master, what are we eating this morning?"
The abrupt voice interrupted Cai Wei’s thoughts. At this moment, she was doing yoga in a green wheat field. Her body was stretching, subtly enhancing her already exquisite curves, making her look even more beautiful than before.
Cai Wei, patting her slightly bulging chest, complained, "Brother Ying, can’t you just appear less suddenly? Don’t you know that you’ll scare people to death!"
Brother Ying let out a few cackles, his voice shrilly ringing, "Master, of course I know that people can be scared to death, but I’m not a person, I’m a bird!"
