Chapter 161: Setting Out with a Heavy Burden

  "Dad, you should go to work now. Dongfangwang"

  Early in the morning, Zhang Hui ran in to tidy up Zhang Ye's quilt and clothes, saying like a little housewife, "Master hasn't gone out for several days, hiding in the room every day, don't lose your spirit because of things."

  "I was thinking of leaving, but Yan Xiang made me stay. So I haven't decided whether to go to work or not." Zhang Ye said casually.

  "Ah! Is Grandpa leaving?" Zhang Hui exclaimed loudly.

  I fainted

  This startled Zhang Ye so much that he jumped up, never expecting this guy's reaction, and that Yan Jing was even more fierce.

  "Now, Zhang Ye could only hastily respond with a perfunctory 'no', 'It was just an idea, forget it, don't worry, I'm leaving'."

  Hui Yu Zhang two sentences, Zhang Ye escaped in the middle of the night.

  When he arrived at the top of the mountain, he was late, but no one came to take attendance anyway.

  Zhang Ye was very confident. It had been several days since he came, and the results of the reforms carried out under his supervision did not waver.

  He roughly reviewed the records sent from various aspects, everything was in order and proceeding steadily.

  Cao Cao finished summarizing the written work and Zhang Yide slipped away.

  Along the Nuo Da Xue Jing Zhi Cheng circled around, deep into the fields, to check those contracted out land.

  The fields that have already been contracted out have "Zhang Ye Daren" who came to inspect and guide, those guys are very happy and also humbly learning.

  Besides, there was a restless fellow lurking among the contractors who couldn't help but seize the opportunity to vent his grievances. As a result, Zhang Ye found an excuse to call them back home to wash up and sleep, and they were done with their tasks.

  It's strange to say, but every time Zhang Ye confiscated someone's land deed like a tyrant, the remaining people would work harder and be more diligent. After driving away another person this time, the atmosphere became tense and urgent.

  Zhang Ye didn't idle away either; since he had chosen to stay, he was naturally still thinking about those three pieces of land that hadn't been divided yet.

  In the process of guiding people in farming techniques and eliminating those who are uncooperative, Zhang Ye was also observing to see who had a talent for this aspect.

  After observing Ye Yiyi made a record of these, which would be the basis for his future division of land into three grades.

  After everything was ready, an entire afternoon had passed.

  Zhang Ye returned to the mountaintop but couldn't rest easily. As soon as he sat down, he saw two figures walking by his side.

  The beautiful woman with a hint of melancholy, Yan Xiang, and that Long Ao Tian who had not been seen for several days.

  Long Ao Tian seems a bit strange today, with a smile when looking at Zhang Ye, but intuitively, there is some anger behind his smile.

  Zhang Ye didn't like this person at all, gave him a cold shoulder, turned his head and ignored him.

  "You..." Long Ao Tian suddenly became enraged and took two steps towards Zhang Ye.

  Yan Xiang felt extremely embarrassed and quickly pulled away, saying "Right, there's something else I need to tell you."

  "What's going on?" Long Ao Tian asked, his eyes fixed on Zhang Ye.

  Yan Xiang originally didn't plan to bring it up, but now she had no choice, "Several times, the batches of herbs and minerals we sent from Snow Crystal City to Lan Yun Fortress have been delayed for a long time, not one has given us any feedback. Because of our relationship, I'm also not convenient to urge too much... Ao Tian, can you step out and speak with them on my behalf?"

  Long Ao Tian finally had some joy, but said, "To be honest, although Lan Yun Fortress is a subsidiary of our Blue Snow City, they don't completely listen to my orders, and their autonomy is very strong. Moreover, the liaison affairs in this regard have always been handled by my elder brother. I'm afraid I may not necessarily be able to intervene."

  "Then you can always say something from the side appropriately?"

  Long Ao Tian said, "I originally greeted them, perhaps they forgot. Our family is large and prosperous, we wouldn't think of embezzling such a small amount of wealth from Xue Jing City. It's just right, isn't it said that this subordinate of yours is very capable? Why not send him to demand it back?"

  Yan Xing said, "Forget it, I'd better call Uncle Ba instead."

  Long Ao Tian shook his head decisively and said, "Ba Sheng is old, Lanyun Fortress is eight thousand miles away, Ba Sheng can't withstand the fatigue of the journey. Let this so-called Zhang Dage go instead. Let him be a real 'Dage' for once."

  "I..."

  Yan Xiang wanted to say a few more words, but Long Ao Tian had already turned and left. As if what he said was the final word here.

  Zhang Ye didn't quite understand what was going on either, and scratched his head.

  "Are you willing to go?"

  Zhang Ye said, "If you want me to go, I'll go."

  Pfft——

  It was fun listening to him, and Yan Xing couldn't help but smile at him for the first time, thinking that this bastard sometimes had a somewhat lovable appearance.

  "Alright, follow me." Yanyong said as she turned around and left first, walking ahead.

  All the way, Zhang Ye silently followed behind Yan Xiang, smelling the intoxicating fragrance emanating from her body, and admiring her slender and delicate back.

  Zhang Ye's mind was preoccupied for a moment. He felt that Yan Jing's path to independence had always been difficult, and although she was supposedly the city lord, the actual situation wasn't necessarily better than when Zhang Ye was still an outer sect disciple.

  With Zhang Ye all the way down, out of the Snow Crystal City gate, down to the foot of the ice mountain, Yan Xing only then stopped and turned back to look at him, "Alright, sent you here, the journey is not close, if you are willing to go, it's time to part ways."

  "Don't worry, I guarantee to complete the task." Zhang Ye nodded very confidently.

  "Yan Xiang said softly, 'No, you don't understand the purpose of sending you there. My requirement for you is not to expect to get back what Lanyun Fortress owes us, but just to express a wish.'"

  "What does this mean?"

  Yan Xing said: "Lan Yun Fort is one of the eighty-one cities under Blue Snow's jurisdiction, specializing in providing elixirs and equipment for Blue Snow City. Therefore, they have a huge demand for herbs and minerals. Moreover, their power is immense, and they are extremely arrogant. In the past, Lan Yun Fort would purchase materials from all aspects, but due to certain reasons, our Snow Crystal City had no choice but to send a batch of materials to Lan Yun Fort. They claimed it was a sale, but in reality, they never intended to pay; I'm also aware of this, and it's just a way to buy peace."

  Zhang Ye immediately clenched his fists and didn't say a word.

  Yan Xiang didn't notice his expression, and continued to say, "Although I clearly know that they won't come back, every year I let Ba Shu go once to remind them that they haven't paid. Doing this doesn't mean I can get anything back from them, I just want to keep reminding them, at the same time also reminding myself, that they owe us, this point has never changed. If we can't get it back, that's okay, but we must express our desire to get it back. Do you understand?"

  "It's tough on you, you'll definitely suffer some humiliation when you go. Don't mind it and don't cause trouble. These insults have been suffered by Ba Sheng for years, nothing has changed, but I let him go every year. I just want to remind myself from time to time that they owe us, today's debt won't come back, but sooner or later someone will go and get it back. Go ahead, be careful on the road, leave early and return early."

  At the last moment, Yan Xiang took off her own white downy cloak and wrapped it around Zhang Ye.

  Zhang Ye didn't say much either and turned around to leave.

  Yan Xing never left, standing still and watching Zhang Ye's back slowly disappear into the distance.
