Chapter 1752: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1752: Resolving Changjin Prefecture Together
Shu Yu took a deep breath, realizing that it was still early in the afternoon, and it hadn't been three hours since Meng Yunzheng went home to sleep.
Two days and nights, only five or six hours of sleep. That's a surefire way to collapse.
Seeing her resistance in her eyes, Qi Lie felt distressed, and just as he was contemplating whether to personally go to Meng Yunzheng's residence, a familiar voice spoke from behind.
"Are you looking for me?"
Both Shu Yu and Qi Lie turned their heads simultaneously, spotting Meng Yunzheng standing not far away.
Meng Yunzheng approached, sizing up Qi Lie for a moment before nodding, "Seems like Chief Qi's undercover work went well." He hadn't lost any limbs or body parts.
Qi Lie laughed heartily, "I can't compare to you, who quietly takeover both the black market and Chenggu County. How about it, would you like to make another arduous trip and help me resolve Changjin Prefecture as well?"
Shu Yu's mind raced. First the black market, then the county, and now they had to take over the prefectural city as well? If they managed to succeed here, the capital would still be in chaos. Would they have to conquer the capital too?
Just the thought sent a shiver down her spine, so she shook her head vigorously, banishing those horrifying thoughts.
Meng Yunzheng had already guessed the purpose of Qi Lie's visit. There was no need for him to personally come to deliver weapons.
He was certain Qi Lie had a different objective, and true to his thoughts, here he was.
Fortunately, the most dangerous period in the county had already passed, so he didn't need to worry too much.
After pondering for a moment, he agreed, "When do we leave?" The sooner they resolved matters, the sooner they could find peace.
It was already late November, and the Lunar New Year was approaching. He didn't want to be busy with these matters during the festivities.
Qi Lie promptly replied, "Now."
Meng Yunzheng sensed his urgency, realizing that the situation in the prefectural city might not be optimistic.
Meng Yunzheng turned to Shu Yu, "Ah Yu, I'll accompany Chief Qi on this trip. You'll have to take care of things here."
What could Shu Yu say? She knew he would definitely help out, but she was concerned about his health.
"Don't worry, leave it to me here. Just be sure to rest and don't rush into danger. We're all waiting for you to return safely, prioritizing your safety."
Meng Yunzheng held her hand and smiled, "Sure."
Meng Yunzheng accompanied Qi Lie as they left. Xia Yan was left behind.
Qi Lie heaved a sigh of relief. Since the weapons exchange had been completed, he didn't delay any longer. Leading a group of people, he cautiously and vigilantly left through the city gate.
Shu Yu climbed back up the city wall, watching their figures recede into the distance before descending.
Lu Wu planned to go back to the county yamen to catch some sleep, and the laborers were heading back to the black market.
Even though they were eager to stay on the surface and bask in the sunlight, they couldn't do so many stayed in the city. Besides, there were numerous tasks accumulating in Chenggu County, and their identities and residences couldn't be settled yet. It would be problematic to have so many people remain in the city.
Not to mention, there were many things they still needed to attend to back in the black market.
Shu Yu guided them back to the abandoned mansion and spoke to the head laborer, "Don't worry, once things here are settled, we'll expedite the verification of your identities and the registration process."
The lead laborer grinned foolishly, a bright and relaxed smile, devoid of the numbness and lifelessness he had while in the black market.
"Thank you, Lord Lu. We'll head back now. Oh, and the girls asked me to thank you too."
