Chapter 40 The Dog Emperor Wants to Dig Up Graves
Wen Luozhi frowned and acted as a supervisor for a while. Seeing that he had to chop a piece of firewood several times, she simply went inside to avoid the trouble.
[Ding ding ding, the system has detected that the host currently has some wealth. Would you like to upgrade? Upgrade and there will be many surprises!]
Unlike its usual disdain and coldness, its voice today carried a hint of ingratiation.
Wen Luozhi heard its sound and was so frightened that she quickly closed the door.
"How do I upgrade?" she asked, sitting on the bed.
[The host only needs to exchange the earned silver for points in the shop, and then use the points to upgrade this system. Friendly reminder: One tael of silver equals one point. The first system upgrade originally cost 2500 points, but now only costs 2000 points!]
Wen Luozhi: !!! !!! !!! !!! !!!
"You want to eat two thousand taels of silver from me for your first upgrade?!" Wen Luozhi thought this system was truly shameless; it actually targeted her as soon as she had a little money!
The system chuckled mischievously and said, "This system still has a sense of justice; it won't upgrade itself while the host is starving."
After the system upgrade, side quest points will be doubled, backpack capacity will be doubled, and the system shop will offer discounts for purchases over a certain amount!
Wen Luozhi did the math and realized that this wasn't too bad a loss.
Money can be earned back, but if the system self-destructs, she'll lose her life...
She went to the store and clicked to redeem points. After exiting, she opened her backpack and saw that she was indeed missing two thousand taels.
She then clicked on System Upgrade (1) on the settings page, and the screen shook violently.
When things returned to normal, she checked the page and other options, and it seemed that there were indeed some changes, but not many.
A small red dot suddenly appeared in the system message. She clicked on it and found that it was a system upgrade gift pack.
This gift package contained many fruit seeds, as well as growth regulators and insecticides. Wen Luozhi neatly put them into her backpack, thinking of taking some out to start seedlings tomorrow.
She observed that there weren't many fruit vendors in town, and the variety and quality were generally limited, yet the prices were outrageously high.
Ordinary people can't even afford to eat, let alone have extra money to buy fruit.
Once the shop started to do well and made some money, providing a cover, she planned to get started on the entire orchard.
When the flowers bloom and bear fruit, we can develop tourism, thus creating a modern version of rural revitalization!
It's definitely not good if only their family in the village gets rich; the other villagers will surely be envious.
If everyone can make money together, the villagers will not only support their own family, but it will also make things much easier for them in the future.
Wen Luozhi became more and more excited as she thought about it, and she couldn't wait to tell her parents about her idea.
As she ran out and passed through the yard, Wen Zizhou was struggling to chop a very thick piece of firewood. Although the firewood next to him was not chopped very evenly, he had at least done some work.
Wen Luozhi nodded in satisfaction and encouraged, "Not bad, Third Brother, you chopped it very well."
I'll chop it up and cook the meat for you before dinner.
Doesn't he want to start a business? Then let's take him to town tomorrow and see how he performs.
After Wen Luozhi put on her hat and went out the door, Wen Zizhou ran to the courtyard gate and looked around several times. Only after confirming that she hadn't returned did he throw down his axe and slump to the ground.
After resting for a while, he felt extremely sleepy. Since Wen Luozhi wasn't home, he could take a short nap before getting up to continue chopping wood.
He slipped into the house, lay down on the bed, and closed his eyes contentedly.
……
Inside Jun'an Hall on the other side, Jun Qianzi carefully wrapped the letter he had written and the box containing the ginseng in layers of cloth, and then had someone deliver it to the Southern Wilderness.
He looked at the people coming and going outside with great worry, wondering how his brother Helian was doing.
The old Duke's family suffered greatly on their journey to the southern wilderness, and he himself had already bought many medicinal herbs to send there.
As for this ginseng, it can be a lifesaver or a way to smooth things over in a critical moment.
The Zhenguo Duke's family has been falsely accused of colluding with traitors, and it is unlikely that the situation will be reversed in the short term.
If it weren't for the ministers' pleas after Helian Yuelian conquered five tribes in the northern frontier, the people of Zhenguo Gongfu would probably be dead long ago, not on their way to the southern wilderness.
Thinking of this, he sighed silently. They all said that Helian Yue was in poor health because he had been guarding the border for a long time, and he died on the way to Nanhuanggou.
He didn't believe it. He had written several letters in the past few days, but he hadn't received a single reply, yet he still stuck to his own opinion.
Perhaps Helian Yue is currently searching for a glimmer of hope for the Duke's mansion somewhere, and all he needs to do is protect his good brother's family from the rear.
At the same time, Helian Yue was holding a letter in his hand, and the more he read it, the more his brows furrowed.
Gu Yunqi snatched the letter from his hand, glanced at it, and then threw it on the ground, stomping on it repeatedly.
That damned emperor! He actually wants to dig up Helian Yue's grave to see if it's real!
Putting aside the issue of whether he faked his death or not, people say that the dead should be respected. It's already tragic enough that a loyal and virtuous person died on the road. This heartless bastard actually wants to dig up the grave of a national general!
"Ah Yue, my grandfather will definitely have a way to solve this! You absolutely must not go back to the Southern Wilderness!"
They can do the same thing twice, and if they can do it once, they can do it again. Although the emperor's men are still searching for people everywhere, the Southern Wilderness is definitely not as safe as the outside world.
Helian Yue's fingers tapped lightly on the table, each tap calming Gu Yunqi's previously agitated heart.
"Ah Yue, when our men went to deliver supplies to the old Duke and his entourage, they discovered there was another group protecting them in secret."
"Not only that, the escorts along the way gave the old Duke and his entourage extra care."
Gu Yunqi stroked his chin and continued, "My men secretly followed them, but they disappeared right here. Could it be..."
Helian Yue and he exchanged a glance, both understanding each other without saying a word.
To eliminate any future troubles, Jun Shuyan spent several years thoroughly investigating everyone around Helian Yue, but he forgot about his younger brother, who had long been demoted to a commoner.
He certainly never imagined that Jun Qianzi, who should have died in the fire in the Cold Palace, would actually be the divine physician he had been searching for after becoming emperor, the one who possessed the elixir of immortality.
A ripple stirred in Helian Yue's heart. It was here that his father brought Jun Qianzi home and told him that from now on they would be good brothers.
At that time, he was still young and did not understand why his father and grandfather would not allow Jun Qianzi to go out or tell others that there were other children in the family.
When he grows up, he says he wants to travel the world and see all the beautiful land he has protected.
Unexpectedly, after many years apart, the two brothers still ended up stepping into this cesspool because of their own actions.
