Chapter 342 342 Giving Gifts

It seems that they have been prepared for a long time. Li Yu sighed and sat on the chair, missing Zhou Jia a little. He only recorded things that could be recorded in writing. He had to ask Zhou Jia for the secret information. Li Yu thought that it would be until the beginning of September. There are only a few days left, so I can only do what I want first.

At Yunzhou's garrison yamen, Shen Shuo passed the Feige message about Yunzhou's dangerous situation and sent a group of scouts to Luoji Mountain.

After discussing with several subordinates, they began to assemble the troops and wait for dark to head towards Luoji Mountain along the route Li Yu had mentioned.

Ruyi, Awei and Dashui drove the oxcart and carriage back to the government office to bring the grain. Everyone put the grain into the cellar. Ruyi said to Awei: "Awei, take Uncle Shui and the others with you." Go back and bring the food over, and I'll go buy something from the shop."

"I understand, brother Ruyi." Awei nodded and drove a few people to Zhuangzi in the car.

Ruyi went to several grocery stores and Yaopu and bought a cart of saltpeter and sulfur, and also ordered several hundred kilograms of rapeseed oil. The owner of the grocery store smiled and joked: "Manager Zhou, your old man is going to change his profession to alchemy." Yet?"

Ruyi laughed loudly and said: "We will buy it when the old man tells us to buy it. We can't make him unhappy!"

"That's right! Your old lady is a capable person, so you should make do with it." The shopkeeper helped Ruyi move the things to the car and told him, "Tell your old lady, you have to be careful when refining elixirs, just in case. If you burn the house down, you’ll be in trouble.”

"Thank you for the reminder, shopkeeper." Ruyi bowed his hands to the shopkeeper, and drove the car to the entrance of the backyard of the government office. The man who delivered the oil followed him in the car. When he returned to the government office, Ruyi stored the saltpeter and sulfur in the In the backyard room, rapeseed oil is placed in the stove.

Mrs. Liu looked at so much rapeseed oil and said with a smile: "Brother Ruyi, are we going to sell food?"

Ruyi smiled and said, "Madam wants to sell food, but the old man came back with a letter saying that he and the Taoist master were learning alchemy. These things are what he wants."

Mrs. Liu laughed after hearing this, "Those Taoist priests like to make elixirs and want to live forever!"

Ruyi came out of the back office and went to the winery to buy two hundred kilograms of spirits. Then he went to the blacksmith shop. He visited the blacksmith shops in Yunzhou City and ordered small arrows and bows for the hand crossbow at a high price. He used arrows and other things before returning to the Houya and putting the liquor into the cellar. Ruyi didn't know that there was someone behind him following him all the way. When he saw him returning to the Houya, he turned around and went to Sihai Bank.

Yangyang knew that he was going back to the city, so he sat there glumly. Li Yu touched his little face, picked him up and sat on his lap, "Son, think about it, it's about to get cold. Daddy's advance." When I wake up and go back to the government office to work, let’s go back to the government office and live there so that daddy can sleep a little longer, don’t you think so?”

Yangyang nodded, "Dad has a hard time making money, let's go back and live there!" Yangyang looked up at Li Yu, "Mom, can I take the puppy back?" "

Li Yu looked at the little black dog with four eyes sleeping soundly in the basket, smiled and nodded, "Okay, tell your friends that they don't have to be sad. We will come to live in Zhuangzi again in June next year."

Qijin stood outside the door, looked at Li Yu and Yang Yang, and said to Li Yu: "Madam, my mother said our luggage has been packed."

Yangyang got off Li Yu and ran to the door. He pulled Qijin and walked in. Li Yu looked at him and smiled: "You brat, what are you doing hiding at the door?"

Qijin glanced at Si-yan Xiaohei in the basket and said, "Madam, I also want to raise a puppy, but my mother won't let me."

"Did you also bring one back?" Li Yu squatted down and looked at him.

Qijin nodded, "Yeah! The ones I have are just black-spot flowers."

"Okay, your mother has a baby. Don't keep the puppy at home. Take it home and raise it in the back garden. We will build a small house for them to live in."

"Oh, we can build a small house for the puppy!" The two of them jumped up happily after hearing this.

Ruyi returned to Zhuangzi, and when he was halfway carrying the grain, he saw Chu Feng's carriage approaching. Chu Feng lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to Ruyi with a smile: "Manager Zhou, come to my car and take a look."

"Okay! Shopkeeper Chu, what kind of treasure are you hiding in the car?" Ruyi joked and got into Chu Feng's car and saw a wooden box in Chu Feng's car.

Chu Feng watched Ruyi open the box and saw several dark and shiny hand crossbows and others containing arrows. Chu Feng picked up a handful and handed it to Ruyi and said with a smile: "Look, this is for you." How do those compare?"

Ruyi took the hand crossbow and found that the hand crossbow was much heavier, and the small arrows were black and shiny and felt heavy in the hand, "Yes, these things are good, more than twice as good as the ones I ordered."

Chu Feng smiled and asked Ruyi, "Manager Zhou, how fast can Mrs. Li fire her arrows? How many hits can she make at one time?"

Ruyi paused, half-hidden and said: "With ten breaths, you can fire seven or eight arrows, and probably more than half of them will hit."

After hearing this, Chu Feng thought to himself: This speed is not bad, but the number of hits is a little less.

Ruyi looked at him and smiled: "Where is Shopkeeper Chu going?"

"You asked knowingly," Chu Feng laughed, "Send this to your wife. Don't go to the blacksmith shop to order it. If you need anything in the future, come to me at the bank."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Chu." Ruyi realized that she was being followed.

"Compared with the little things your master and wife helped me, it's nothing!" Chu Feng smiled sheepishly, "In these extraordinary times, the investigation will be tighter, so as not to delay your return to the city."

"Everyone, please be careful," he said with his hands towards Chu Feng, "Goodbye, Shopkeeper Chu."

The two of them went in opposite directions. Chu Feng reached the foot of the mountain and looked at the leisure villa that was still under construction. He sighed and thought to himself: General Shen should be setting off, right?

Li Yu looked at the wooden box that Chu Feng and the driver brought in, and saw Chu Feng standing there panting, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Chu, what kind of treasure are you bringing me?"

Chu Feng pointed to the wooden box with a smile, "Something small for you."

"Oh!" Li Yu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Chu Feng, seeing him bending down to open the wooden box, "Mrs. Li, do you think it suits you?"

Li Yu looked at the hand crossbow in the wooden box in surprise, picked up one and looked through it, then picked up a small arrow and nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Not bad, this thing is good, I like it very much."

Seeing that the gift was given correctly, Chu Feng also laughed happily, "As long as you like it. You and Brother Zhou have helped me so much. I never know how to thank you and Brother Zhou. You like weapons. I will help you in the future." You pay attention."

"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Chu. I won't be polite." Li Yu said with a cheerful smile.
