In the year of disaster in the book, the villain girl is the real winner

Wei Sixian said these words of advice to He Qingshu after she saw He Qiudi walking away.

But in fact, after more than four months of training, He Qiudi's current body already has keen hearing.

She heard everything Wei Sixian said.

This was what Wei Sixian said about her and the He family behind their backs, but her words were not that direct, so He Qiudi was too lazy to turn around and settle the score with her.

It was Wei Sixian's words that reminded He Qiudi.

He Huaizhang was not happy about his family being divided, as this would prevent him from taking advantage.

As a result, an assassin came to the He family last night.

The appearance of the assassin made He Huaizhang and Wei Sixian glad that they had separated.

Want to stay out of trouble?

After they walked away, He Qiudi said to Yang Jiu, "Yang Jiu, can you help me find out if the county lieutenant of Wei County has arranged a suitable candidate? If not, can I recommend my eldest brother to him?"

You want to stay out of trouble?

Huh——

Then I will use my relationship with Feng Shiyan to promote you and give you a dangerous official position with no future, but it will look like a promotion compared to your original position, so that you will have no way to get rid of the lineage of the Crown Prince.

When the Western Territory is settled, I will arrange for you to be a lowly official in a more remote place, so that out of sight, out of mind.

Yang Jiu said: "Okay. I will go to the county government office to inquire."

"Go ahead. I'll find a place to rest and wait for you."

The aunt and niece took Yang Liu to find a teahouse, ordered a pot of tea and some cakes.

Yang Liu followed the principles of a guard and stayed in a corner where he could see and hear everything in all directions to protect the two of them.

He Qingya was puzzled: "Aunt, why do you still want to promote Uncle? Isn't this a bargain for him?"

Although the county lieutenant is a ninth-rank official.

But at least he was a high-ranking and respectable official.

The teacher is of no quality.

"There is no such good thing in the world. The county lieutenant is responsible for the public security of the entire county. It is not a good job to let your uncle, a weak scholar who can't lift anything, be the county lieutenant. During the banquet, we must capture Huangquan Pass. Then we will transfer him outside Huangquan Pass and let him fight against the Xirong people. Whether he can survive it depends on his own fate."

Since Feng Shiyan is preparing to take back Huangquan Pass, he may have ambitions for the cities outside Huangquan Pass.

When the time comes, let He Huaizhang take charge.

He Huaizhang can govern well, and that is what he should do.

If it is not well managed.

Humph.

She won't let He Huaizhang get away with it.

Soon, Yang Jiu came back.

County Magistrate Du got news from Wei County and learned that the position of county lieutenant of Wei County was still vacant. He Qiudi took out paper and pen and wrote a letter to Feng Shiyan, recommending He Huaizhang to be the county lieutenant of Wei County.

After writing the letter, Yang Jiu asked someone to deliver it before they returned to Shiliu Village.

He Qiudi said he wanted to continue making soap, and the He family had no objection.

However, when He Qiudi said that he wanted to tell He Huaian the secret of making soap, the He family was a little surprised.

Jin Cuihua couldn't help but ask directly: "This formula, if mastered well, can make a fortune every day. Are you really determined to give it to Huai'an?"

He Qiudi nodded.

"Third sister-in-law, I have other things to do. The soap workshop can't stop operating if I'm not at the He family. Besides, I told His Highness that we should sell soap all over the country to serve the army and the people in the western border. The He family will take the route of small profits but quick turnover. This formula will be kept by the third brother, but I have to make it clear that I will only give it to the third brother. The third brother cannot give the formula to others privately without my permission."

He Huaian looked at Old Lady He.

Old Lady He lowered her eyes, then raised her head and said, "Huai'an, since your younger sister is willing to teach you, you should learn. Doing more for His Highness is a blessing for our He family."

Old Mrs. He saw things more clearly than He Huaizhang and Wei Sixian.

Things have come to this point, and the He family cannot distance themselves from Feng Shiyan just because they want to.

In the eyes of the Queen and her family, the He family already belonged to Feng Shiyan. No matter what, once they got on the boat, it would be difficult to get off.

Since this is the case, we might as well face it.

Although the He family’s power is small, it is still power. If they can put in more strength, the Crown Prince will have a better chance of winning.

If the Crown Prince can win, the He family will prosper.

It's worth the gamble.

He Qiudi preached and taught.

You have the materials ready at home, so you can start making a new batch of soaps and scented soaps now.

It took two days to hand over all the processes and key points to He Huaian. He Qiudi felt that she had accomplished something she had been worried about. Then she went to the camp near Shiliu Village to find Chen Rongjing.

It's been more than ten days.

They were still helpless against the Xirong people hiding in Phoenix Mountain.

Some even suggested burning the mountains to force the Xirong people out.

As for the method of burning the mountain, not only would Chen Rongjing disagree, even the generals who were ordered to encircle and suppress the enemy would not agree.

It hasn't rained for a long time.

If the mountains are burned, all the mountains in the area will be burned.

Originally, there was a severe drought in Yongning Prefecture, and the victims could still go into the mountains to find some food to fill their stomachs, and they could also chop firewood from the mountains for the winter.

Burn the mountain.

The Xirong people were forced to death.

The animals and plants in the mountains were also burned to death. There was no food, no firewood to keep warm. The common people who depended on this mountain for their livelihood really had no chance of survival.

He Qiudi came over and asked Chen Rongjing about the details.

Generally, such confidential matters cannot be told to outsiders, let alone a woman.

Chen Rongjing knew how important He Qiudi was to Feng Shiyan, so he would still tell her.

But when He Qiudi heard about what happened in Phoenix Mountain, she asked for fifty elite soldiers. She led them to Phoenix Mountain and drove the Xirong people out.

Everyone was shocked.

Several generals also knew of her relationship with the Crown Prince, so they dared not let her put herself in danger.

In the past, Chen Rongjing would not have dared to agree, but after the assassination that night, he felt that He Qiudi might be able to do it, so he persuaded the generals to give He Qiudi manpower.

that's it.

He Qiudi asked Yang Liu and Yang Jiu to find half of the guards that Feng Shiyan left in Shiliu Village to go into the mountains with her, and the remaining half to stay at the He family to work in case the He family encounters assassins again.

To find people.

He Qiudi took out his own plan and discussed it with Chen Rongjing.

She knew Phoenix Mountain well, so she first found out how many Xirong people were hiding in the mountain and where they were roughly distributed. Then she would think of ways to defeat them one by one, or gather them together and drive them out of Phoenix Mountain.

By then, everything will be random.

He Qiudi naturally did not tell the truth to Chen Rongjing. She went into the mountain this time to make a quick decision and eliminate the hidden danger of the Western Rong people in Phoenix Mountain. Then she would go to find Feng Shiyan.

She must resolve the issue of the Xirong people as soon as possible so that she can have some rest and recuperation next year. The year after that, there will be no more drought in the western border, and she can live her leisurely life.

After testing the abilities of this group of elite soldiers and teaching them some modern gestures and various simple basic skills, He Qiudi led his men into Phoenix Mountain overnight.
