MTL - Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.-Chapter 1036 Whose head was kicked by a donkey!

Chapter 1036: Whose head was kicked by a donkey!

Li Laoer told the truth, mentioning Liu Biaotou's previous experience as a bodyguard, the work he was responsible for at Suijintan, and Liu Yang following Jiayi to kill pirates and Japanese pirates on the Quanzhou beach.

The emperor was very pleased and did not hesitate to praise him. He even rewarded Liu Biao with a precious sword.

Liu Biaotou went crazy with joy. He knelt down and kowtowed. He hugged the sword and said he wanted it to be a family heirloom, which made the emperor laugh again...

In the Zhilan Palace, Jiayin and the third princess were also nibbling the jade melon. They even squeezed the juice and added ice cubes. After one gulp, they were so happy that they almost flew away.

The third princess was satisfied with her meal, and blushed at the end, so she asked Caiyun to send someone to deliver two jade melons to the Lu family.

 In the afternoon, Jiayin comforted the third princess and left the palace, going straight to the Marquis' Mansion.

She put all the jade melons in the space into the warehouse in the backyard of the Hou Mansion. She kept a small half of them as gifts for the Hou Mansion, and exchanged the larger half for money or medicinal materials and other supplies.

 The chief steward is a smart man, and he is used to it every year.

 So, even though he was a little suspicious, he never asked a word.

 He got busy quickly, giving gifts when he needed to, and contacting buyers when he needed to.

Seeing that nothing happened, Jiayin returned to Broken Gold Beach.

 At this time, Broken Gold Beach was simply a small "grabbing war".

Even if it’s dark, I’m still fighting at night.

Men, women, old and young in the village all went out to pick melons, count people, load cars, cashiers, and weigh grains, all performing their duties without any fuss.

The big stove in the village has been restarted, and the women are washing vegetables and cooking to ensure that the laborers have enough to eat three times a day.

 But no matter how thirsty they were, everyone still insisted on drinking water, and no one touched the jade melon.

I really can’t bear to part with it!

Jiayin went back to his old house and changed into half-worn clothes. He walked around the fields and then went to find the village chief.

“Grandpa, village chief, we have been working hard for a year. We can’t even know what jade melon tastes like. Can we open some jade melons to quench everyone’s thirst?”

The village chief was heartbroken when he heard it, but when Jiayin spoke, he didn't want to refute.

So, he shouted, "Everyone, pick out the broken and bruised jade melons, cut them all, and eat them together. The princess feels sorry for everyone!"

"But everyone has to work hard after eating the jade melon, and don't waste a piece of silver for this mouthful."

Everyone was happy and laughed in response.

"The princess still feels sorry for us, and the village chief is more cruel than the rich landlord!"

“Haha, the princess will come back often to support us!”

The village chief waved his pipe and pot angrily and said with a smile, "At this time, I know it's time to complain to the princess. In the future, if the money is less, don't come to me! Every family has more money. How about buying wine? Isn't it nice?"

“Haha, of course drinking wine tastes good, but eating melon is also refreshing!”

“That’s right, we can also eat melons and drink wine.”

Everyone shared the jade melon and took a big bite, all smiling.

Jiayin carried a mosquito repellent bag on her waist, but mosquitoes still bumped into her from time to time in the night, which was extremely rampant.

Shui Ling and Shui Yun wished they had eight hands to chase away mosquitoes, for fear that their master would be bitten.

 The village chief and everyone saw him and quickly chased them away.

The village chief shouted, "Princess, please go back quickly. You don't have to worry about the work here. Everyone is used to it and nothing will go wrong."

Everyone also shouted, "Yes, Princess, please go back quickly. We are thick-skinned and not afraid of mosquitoes. You can't do it!"

“The little girl has tender skin. If she gets bitten, she may not be able to get rid of it for seven or eight days.”

"Let's put a hat on the princess." Jiayin also felt that he couldn't help here and was still worrying everyone, so he smiled and said, "Then I'll go back, everyone should be more tired. Wait until the melon garden is finished. , let’s have a running banquet. When the time comes, I’ll go to Uncle Huang and ask for dozens of jars of good wine to celebrate for everyone.”

“Haha, okay, thank you, Princess. Then we will also have a taste of royal wine.”

“Oh, I feel so happy just thinking about it. I can’t use up all my strength. Come on, I can pick melons from another two acres of land!”

The villagers laughed, and the laughter spread far and wide.

 Some of the stewards and individual customers waiting in the field, queuing up to buy melons, naturally heard it.

They couldn't help but feel a little bit envious and alert in their hearts. Broken Gold Beach was not something they could bully at will.

 Fair business, nothing is wrong with it.

If anyone wants to take advantage, I'm afraid it will definitely not end well...

In the same dark night, in the far north of the Yangtze River, the grain transport team traveled day and night and finally arrived at the Northern Expeditionary Army camp.

Torches were placed around the camp, and bonfires were burning every few hundred meters.

Although it would be very hot to light a fire on such a summer night, it would also light up the camp as bright as day, making it easier for groups of soldiers to patrol.

 It was a huge pressure to shoulder the life and death of tens of thousands of people and to recover the mountains and rivers. Therefore, the Marquis did not fall asleep until midnight every night.

 In this case, we caught up with Li Laosi and Mu Jue coming back with the grain transport team.

Li Laosi turned sideways and jumped off the horse. Just as the Marquis walked out from the battalion commander, he shouted excitedly, "Master Marquis, look who I brought back?"

With sharp eyes, the Marquis turned his head and glanced around, and saw the smiling Mu Jue, so he asked, "Why are you here? How is your family?"

 “Don’t worry, Lord Marquis, everything is fine.” Mu Jue responded quickly.

The Marquis nodded, and just as he was about to order someone to take over the food, Jiang Cheng rushed over.

So, the Marquis ordered, "Check the military rations clearly and record them in the book. Starting tomorrow, there is no need to save."

"Yes, Lord Marquis." Jiang Cheng agreed with his hands, but did not leave immediately. He looked at Mu Jue with a smile and asked, "Why is Guard Mu here? But there is something going on in Kyoto? We have been away for several months, and we really miss home. ah."

Mu Jue smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, General Jiang. The family is very nice. I can't wait to stay. I'll go with him to have some fun."

Jiang Cheng’s eyes flashed, obviously knowing that what he said was false.

After all, the journey from Jiangnan to Jiangbei is thousands of miles away. Not only is the journey difficult, but there are also dangers everywhere.

Who would take a trip just for fun if his brain was kicked by a donkey...

 But he didn't care, he just chatted a few words and went to work quickly.

Grain needs to be stored in the warehouse, and the grain transportation team also needs people to eat and horses to chew, so all must be carefully arranged.

Mu Jue followed the Marquis and Li Laosi into the tent. With a look from the Marquis, the guards lowered the door curtain and surrounded the tent.

“Master Marquis, if you have anything to eat, give me some.” Mu Jue smiled and found a chair to sit on, his expression full of exhaustion.

"This journey has been tough. The drought in the south of the Yangtze River is severe, but there is no shortage of water for people to drink. I didn't expect it to be even worse in the north of the Yangtze River. For fifty or sixty miles, I couldn't find a well or a small river."

Li Laosi opened the box in the corner, took out two steamed buns and threw them to Mu Jue, "First of all, I will make some dry noodles for you."

Mu Jue squeezed the steamed bun in his hand. It was a little hard. He didn't know how many days it had been steamed, and he felt a little sour.

Hou Ye, a military general, eat this fruit belly on weekdays?

Seeing that he was holding back his mouth, Li Laosi thought he was disgusted, so he said, "You bastard, you have chosen carefully. It would be good to have steamed buns to eat. If the army rations are not available, the whole battalion will be hungry."

Mu Jue hesitated for a moment, then opened the cowhide bag that was slung across his body and took out an oil paper bag.

 “I still have some of the princess’s roasted meat here…”

 Two updates today~~
