He Feng looked at the various delicacies on the table and swallowed his saliva, but the owner didn't move his chopsticks, and he didn't dare. Although their family is a hunter, his mother is in poor health and it costs a lot of money to buy medicine. Not long ago, my father encountered a tiger in the mountains. Although he fought hard and almost won, he was still seriously injured. So it's been a long time since their family had a decent meal.
Su Yue and the others naturally did not miss his expression, "Eat."
He Feng still didn't dare to move his chopsticks, and his expression was a little embarrassed. Still Xuan Xiaosi couldn't bear to look at it and gave him a few chopsticks to pick up some vegetables before he started to eat.
There was a gust of wind, and all the food on the table was eaten. Of course, most of it went into He Feng's Five Zang Temple.
The ghost girl's hand holding the chopsticks was a little stiff, and then she looked at He Feng up and down with the eyes of a monster. How can this little body be so edible? Looking at his still flat belly, where did all this food go?
Even Xuan Xiaosi, who is usually the most eater, was shocked by his eating appearance. This was so delicious.
After He Feng had eaten and drank enough, he noticed the mess on the table and blushed again, "Sorry, I made... everyone laugh."
Su Yue smiled gently and said, "Nothing, Brother He is a gentle man, so don't worry about this. In fact, I invited Brother He to the inn today, and I have other things I want to ask you for help with."
help? he? He Feng looked stunned. What could he do to help this young lady?
Seeing his doubts, Su Yue didn't mince words, "Brother He's family is a hunter? He should know a lot of people who make a living by hunting."
When He Feng heard this, he frowned and relaxed. This was indeed an area he was familiar with, "That is, I know all the hunters in the surrounding areas. I wonder what the young lady wants me to do?"
"It's like this, I need a lot of furs, and I want Brother He to help collect them. I want as much fur as I want, and the price will be based on the price I'll give you today. As for... what's the price for the goods you get from others? , then it depends on Brother He’s own abilities.”
He Feng was an honest man, but that didn't mean he wasn't smart. As soon as Su Yue finished speaking, he understood. He was constantly calculating in his mind, knowing that this was an unprofitable deal, and looked at Su Yue with complicated eyes, "Why is the lady looking for me?"
"There's no reason. I'm not familiar with the place here. I had a chance to buy furs from Brother He today, and the quality is good, so..." Su Yue paused, and then showed a more kind look. With a smile, he continued, "Also, Brother He looks a bit like an old friend of mine."
He Feng seemed to understand something, nodded, and then asked in disbelief, "Do you really want how much?"
"Yes, as much as you want, money is not an issue, but the quality, Brother He has to help me control it."
"That's for sure. When will Miss want it?"
Su Yue tapped her fingers on the table. There was currently no urgent news coming from the border. It should be fine for her to stay here for a few more days. "I will stay here for three more days at most."
"Okay, it won't take three days, I will deliver the things in two days." He Feng agreed readily. Baisha Town is only half a day's journey from his home. He rushed back tonight to collect all the goods from the uncles in the village. . There is still plenty of time to go around the surrounding villages tomorrow and the next day.
Su Yue also liked his straightforwardness, so she took out a few banknotes and said, "I don't have any silver here. I may need Brother He to go to the bank to change it himself."
He Feng's eyes widened when he looked at the thousand-tael banknote. He had never seen so much silver in his life, and his lips trembled a little, "This...this..." "
Su Yue put the silver notes on the table. In front of him was a full five thousand taels of silver notes.
He Feng looked at Su Yue with more complicated eyes, "Miss, aren't you afraid that I will take the money and run away?"
Su Yue raised her lips and said, "I'm not afraid." What's more, someone would secretly follow him as soon as he left. She had nothing to worry about, but she didn't need to tell He Feng this.
But when He Feng heard it, he had other meanings. He didn't expect that the person he met on the first day would trust him so much. This strengthened his determination to do a good job in this matter. He must do it for this young lady. Check it carefully and collect the best fur.
Xuan Xiaosi also clearly felt that his junior sister was going to use this brother, "He will easily be spotted when he goes to the bank like this. Brother He, if you don't wait two quarters of an hour, I will have someone change the change." "
He Feng immediately offered his hand to Xuan Xiaosi. Although it seemed a bit clumsy, he learned this from his father, "Thank you very much, young master."
"Young master, my name is Xuan Xiaosi, you can just call me Xiaosi from now on."
He Feng grinned with big white teeth and said, "Fourth brother."
Xuan Xiaosi's men were very capable. He came back just after a quarter of an hour and handed over a bulging bag of silver. He Feng took it in his hand and held it tightly. He couldn't lose so much money. He didn't dare to delay, so he said goodbye and left. He had to go to the pharmacy to get medicine for his father. The faster he could get there before dark, Arrive home.
After they left, Xuan Xiaosi looked at Su Yue, "Xiao Wu, do you want to use this person? Does he look like an old friend of yours? Why didn't I recognize him?"
Su Yue did not answer his subsequent question, "Now I want to collect everything that can keep me warm, and he happens to have it. As for whether I need this person... it depends on his ability."
"Then we really have to stay in Baisha Town for three days?"
"Um."
In the evening, Hung Xuantong and others appeared after disappearing for a day. Su Yue took the lead in finding Xiao Nan and asked him about the current situation at the border. He must be aware of it.
"King Kang from Northern Xinjiang arrived at the border five days ago and brought back 200,000 Northern Xinjiang troops."
"Beiyu released people so easily?" Su Yue was a little suspicious.
"There is nothing he can do if he doesn't let go. If he doesn't want to be attacked from both sides, he can only compromise. It was also the day after the Northern Xinjiang army left that they took the initiative to launch an attack. So far, they have not gained any benefits. Our generals can still resist. This war ······It must have been stretched." Xiao Nan looked troubled. The war lasted for a long time, and the people were suffering, especially these days. Even a layman like him could observe that the cold weather was weird. I don't know. How are the soldiers at the border going to get through this?
Su Yue's eyes were also full of worry. This was her biggest worry. No matter what era, war was cruel.
"Let's stay here for a few more days."
Su Yue didn't explain the reason, and Xiao Nan didn't ask, knowing that she was a measured person, so she must have something to do if she stayed a few more days.

Daqing, Imperial Palace.
"I was supposed to come to the palace a few days ago, but who knew that this kid would get lost in his work and it would take so long."
"Grandpa, why do you need to explain? They are all members of his own family." Xiao Yan had been dealing with state affairs for a while, and he seemed more stable. In particular, my body is getting better day by day, not so thin, and my momentum is getting stronger day by day.
Su Huan glared at the old man who was drinking tea and eating cakes. "I asked you to come here because of business. Have you finished eating?"
Su Qian wiped his mouth aggrievedly. Why was his life so miserable? He worked non-stop for several days with hardly any rest. As soon as he got home, his grandfather carried him into the palace like a little chicken. He didn't even eat. Well, my stomach is empty and I'm starving.
