Jiang Chuyue slowly moved to the table and sat down opposite Xiao Yihao. She took a cake from the plate and took a bite. The crumbs of the cake fell on her clothes. Jiang Chuyue shook it off and let the crumbs fall.

"When did you arrive?" Jiang Chuyue asked after finishing the pastry in her hand.

"It's been about an hour." Xiao Yihao turned the rice paper in front of him and pushed it in front of Jiang Chuyue. Jiang Chuyue lowered her eyes and looked at it.

There are names of people one after another on the rice paper.

Just as she frowned and was about to ask, Xiao Yihao saw her confusion and took the initiative to explain, "These are the people who are working with me in Shuiyun Pavilion now. Although they follow me for more or less some of their own little calculations and purposes, at least until now, they have continued to work under me even when my situation in Shuiyun Pavilion is embarrassing."

"Have you thought it through?" When Xiao Yihao revealed the identities of these people, Jiang Chuyue knew that Xiao Yihao should have made up his mind.

"I've thought it through." Xiao Yihao lowered his eyes. In the dim light, it was even harder to see the expression on his face.

"Now that you have made up your mind, just follow your heart. No matter what happens, I will unconditionally support you with the food and medicine I have. You don't have to worry about that."

When Jiang Chuyue proposed that Xiao Yihao leave Shuiyun Pavilion, she guessed that Xiao Yihao would make such a choice. Now that she saw that Xiao Yihao had made up his mind, she was naturally not surprised.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yihao raised his eyes and looked over, the look in his eyes was unpredictable.

"Did you misunderstand what I meant?" Xiao Yihao opened his mouth and asked Jiang Chuyue to swallow the words back.

"Aren't you planning to stay in Shuiyun Pavilion?"

"I plan to follow your advice and leave Shuiyun Pavilion temporarily."

The two spoke at the same time, looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"You really think I plan to stay in Shuiyun Pavilion!" Xiao Yihao could hardly suppress the smile on his face. "If I were to stay in Shuiyun Pavilion, why would I give you such a long list?"

"I thought you wanted to tell me that you have many brothers in Shuiyun Pavilion who you are worried about, and you plan to continue staying in Shuiyun Pavilion." Jiang Chuyue laughed heartily. The two of them clearly misunderstood each other's meaning, but they still spoke seriously.

"But what do you want me to do with this list?" Although she was laughing, the things that needed to be arranged could not be delayed. After Jiang Chuyue was sure that Xiao Yihao did not intend to stay in Shuiyun Pavilion, she couldn't help but feel curious about the list with so many names written by him.

"Are you going to ask me to find a way to get all these people out of Shuiyun Pavilion?" A bold guess.

The next second, Jiang Chuyue rejected it on her own, "No, one or two is fine, but with so many people, I'm afraid that before I even open my mouth, Mr. Liu will want to kill me."

But when she met Xiao Yihao's serious and solemn face, Jiang Chuyue's heart sank.

"You don't really want me to get all these people out of Shuiyun Pavilion, do you?"

"I know this is a difficult matter, but they have followed me for so long. Now that I suddenly leave Shuiyun Pavilion, their future life will definitely not be easy."

Xiao Yihao spoke seriously, his eyes were earnest, and there was a hint of pleading in them.

Jiang Chuyue had been married to Xiao Yihao for so long, but she had never seen Xiao Yihao in such an expression, so she couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted. However, when her eyes glanced at the lines of names on the rice paper, the corners of her mouth twitched.

"You don't want them to have a hard time, so you dump this responsibility on me?"

Jiang Chuyue felt overwhelmed when she thought about helping Xiao Yihao get so many people out of Shuiyun Pavilion. "You know, the relationship between me and Shuiyun Pavilion is very delicate now. The county magistrate wants me to fall. If we try to get so many people out now, aren't we just exposing our weaknesses to them?"

Although she was muttering to herself, Jiang Chuyue had already started to plan how to help Xiao Yihao get these people out.

"What do you think your people are worth?"

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yihao didn't follow Jiang Chuyue's thoughts for a moment. He was still thinking about what he should do if it was too difficult for Jiang Chuyue to settle these people who followed him.

"Are these people valued in Shuiyun Pavilion now? If we want to rescue them and exchange them for food, how much food do you think we will need at least?" Jiang Chuyue was a little upset. Although her mind was working fast, she couldn't help feeling anxious after being hit by such an unexpected incident.

I feel like the situation is gradually getting out of my control.

"If it's difficult, I can find another way to arrange them. You don't have to make things difficult for yourself just to help me." Xiao Yihao also knew that this request was too difficult for Jiang Chuyue.

But at the moment he had nothing valuable to negotiate with Liu Mo. If it weren't for the fact that he had no other choice, Xiao Yihao would not be willing to make things difficult for Jiang Chuyue.

"This is indeed a difficult matter." Jiang Chuyue patted Xiao Yihao on the shoulder. They had been married for so long that she could see through Xiao Yihao's thoughts at a glance.

"But I am also short of manpower now. If these people of yours can leave Shuiyun Pavilion, they can come here to help me with my work, and I don't have to worry about the manpower problem."

Now is the time to reclaim wasteland and plant crops, and Jiang Chuyue is really short of manpower.

Otherwise, the shopkeepers would not have asked all the reliable people in their families to help. If Jiang Chuyue could really turn Xiao Yihao's people into her own people, she would be much more relaxed in the future.

With Jiang Chuyue's words, Xiao Yihao's heart finally settled down.

In order to rescue Xiao Yihao's men, Jiang Chuyue prepared 20,000 kilograms of food to negotiate with Liu Mo. Liu Mo was reluctant at first, but most of the 10,000 kilograms of food he had just obtained was used up in just a few days.

Today, Shuiyun Pavilion is indeed short of funds due to forging weapons, training soldiers, and reinforcing city walls.

In the end, they successfully brought back Xiao Yihao's brothers with 25,000 kilograms of food.

"How much food do we have now?" Xiao Yihao asked in a low voice into Jiang Chuyue's ear.

"There are still more than 10,000 kilograms, but we have to reclaim wasteland and there are so many people in the refugee camp, and we also have to ensure the normal operation of the grain store. 10,000 kilograms of grain will not last long." Jiang Chuyue couldn't help but feel worried when she thought of this.

Xiao Yihao knew that Jiang Chuyue's situation was not good. In order to really help Jiang Chuyue, Xiao Yihao simply stayed in the space for the next few days to help Jiang Chuyue watch over the growth of the crops in the field.
