Without waiting for Cao Fei's reply, she put on her bright red new clothes and left Cao Fei's new residence while swaying her hips.
When it was Zhang Yasi's turn, he pulled Cao Fei aside with a serious expression and asked,""Chief Cao, do you still have the secret medicine from Ximen Manor's treasury a few days ago? Can you spare me some? I won't take it for free. Ten taels of silver for one. I'll take as much as you have.”
There weren't many bottles and jars in the treasure chest that day. He had given them two bottles, and by right, the other party should have two bottles. It had only been a few days, and it was already not enough?
Was he eating it like a candied haws?
Even a man made of iron wouldn't be able to endure such torment, right?
Zhang Yasi saw Cao Fei's eyes staring at him from head to toe, and a row of sweat appeared on his forehead. He quickly explained,"It's not for me, but for a friend of mine. He has been married for three years and has no children. He married two concubines so that he can spread his family and continue the family line. This is a matter of human relations.”
Cao Fei sized him up in confusion. He realized that after not seeing him for a few days, this guy's spiritual energy had become a lot weaker, as if it had been sucked away by someone.
He was also like a gambler who had not slept for days and nights. His eyes were deep and he did not have the calm and steady composure of the old days.
However, it was a matter of human relations, so Cao Fei could not reject it. He only said that he would go home and look for it, and that he would talk about it in a few days.
Zhang Yasi naturally thanked him profusely, as if he owed Cao Fei a huge favor.
After sending Zhang Yasi away, there were only four people left in the courtyard. Other than Cao Fei and Li Ping 'er, there was also the county magistrate and Mei' er, who considered themselves to be from her family.
Mei 'er helped Li Ping' er out to eat some hot soup and food, and then they went back to their room to whisper. The county magistrate sat on the table unmoving like a mountain, not even moving his butt.
Cao Fei waited for the restaurant staff to come over and clear the dishes while he chatted and drank with the county magistrate.
After drinking a few more cups, the old man suddenly lowered his voice and asked with concern,"Brother Cao, do you still have that pill in stock?”
Cao Fei was suddenly confused.
However, his brain worked very quickly. He pretended to drink and used this short gap to figure out the reason.
If that was the case, then he couldn't easily give it to others.
I wonder if martial arts universities have enough.
Cao Fei pondered for a moment and said,""There is some, but it is in my brother's hands. He has been married for almost a year, but there has been no movement in sister-in-law's stomach, so she is naturally anxious. After I obtained the secret medicine, I don't need it myself, so I gave it all to my brother.”
The county magistrate slapped the table, his face full of regret.
After thinking about it, he was unwilling and still wanted to fight for it.
"How about eight taels of silver for one pill?”The county magistrate made a hand gesture as he secretly observed Cao Fei.
Cao Fei looked at him with disdain.
On the surface, this old man was in a hurry and his bid was not even higher than Zhang Yasi's. Why would he sell it to him?
He thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say so.
The banquet soon ended.
After sending off the last two guests, Cao Fei thought about the two jars of secret medicine in the depths of the box. He could not help but feel a ripple in his heart. He wished that he could give them to the martial arts university so that he could complete his mission as soon as possible and eliminate the Sword of Damocles hanging over his head.
On the second day after Cao Fei took a concubine, in the backyard of the county government, the advisor was sitting with the magistrate and drinking tea.
"Boss, now that the case of the medicinal shop has been closed, we have gained a lot and we have enough money. We should start planning for the competition.”
The person he entrusted to him had to be a trusted aide and also have true ability. There weren't many people like this.
The advisor thought for a moment and suddenly thought of Cao Fei from the county government. He quickly suggested,"What do you think of Cao Dutou?”
The magistrate nodded and praised,""If this person can go, others might not be able to do it.”
The two of them discussed for a while and called Cao Fei over.
The county magistrate was quietly sipping his tea at the side while the advisor explained the details to him.
"My lord has a relative who lives in Tokyo. He wants to send a carriage of gifts and a letter to ask about his safety. I'm afraid it won't be easy on the way and I'll need a hero like you to escort him. Daren will reward you handsomely when you return."
Cao Fei looked at the magistrate and then at the advisor. He was very clear in his heart.
The magistrate had the help of the advisor, and now he had received a large sum of money from Ximen Manor. If he seized the opportunity to go to Shangjing to operate, the possibility of promotion was very high.
Cao Fei pretended to consider carefully for a moment, then cupped his fists and bowed.""This lowly one has received the elder's favor, how dare I refuse? "However, it's not peaceful outside now. I'm afraid something might happen if I'm alone. I need to send more people.”
Seeing Cao Fei's consideration, the advisor nodded and promised,""Now, the county government has removed the old, weak, sick, and disabled. The rest are at your disposal.”
Seeing this, Cao Fei stopped shirking." I'm willing to share your worries."”
"Alright, you go down and prepare first.”
After coming out of the backyard of the county office, Cao Fei asked someone to find a map of the surrounding area. After observing it for a while, his brows gradually furrowed.
In the original novel, Wu Song was ordered to escort a load of gold and silver to Shangjing. The journey was smooth, but his appearance out of thin air had greatly changed the timeline of the original time and space.
Putting everything else aside, just the amount of goods being escorted was several times more than the original space-time.
This trip was not easy.
