Chapter 301 Sun Qiu's Panic
The next morning, Jiang Chen bid farewell to Marquis Jian'an and started his journey home.
However, the ones escorting Jiang Chen this time were not the Xuanjia Army, but some outstanding veterans from the Shanzi Camp.
These veteran soldiers were randomly selected by Marquis Jian'an, and there were fifty of them in total.
Under Jiang Chen's arrangement, they formed a team, all led by Xu Yunchang.
But just as Jiang Chen was heading towards Luzhou County, the grassland was already in chaos.
"What!? Baishan City, Fengsha City, and Cangyuan City are all lost!?"
"Even Her Royal Highness the Princess has now been captured by Dajing!?"
"How can this be!?"
Once the situation of the border war was reported back to the grassland, the entire grassland was shocked!
Over the years, it has always been the grassland that bullied Dajing. There has never been a time when Dajing bullied the grassland!
Now, this... this battle situation...
The grassland was suddenly filled with panic.
With such a serious situation, I wonder how much impact it will have on the grassland!
At the same time, General Luo also dispatched soldiers to deliver the battle report back to the court at an accelerated speed of 800 miles!
I just don’t know what Dajing will feel after receiving this battle report.
At the same time, a major event happened in Luzhou County!
"Damn it! Why aren't you coming yet!"
"What are these damn grassland people going to do!?"
Sun Qiu sat in the hall, looking anxious.
Three days have passed since the inspection time agreed with those "grassland people".
However, those grassland people didn't move at all!
This time, Sun Qiu was anxious!
If those grassland people don't show up again, the charcoal merchants in other counties will be out of control!
You know, when Sun Qiu was negotiating cooperation with these people for this business, he paid a lot of deposit!
If this grassland man didn't show up, then his Sun family... would be in trouble!
……
"Father, are you looking for me?"
Just when Sun Qiu was at a loss, Sun Ruotong came into the hall.
"Ruotong, you're finally here!"
"Help your father analyze this! Something seems to be wrong with the current situation!"
When Sun Qiu saw Sun Ruotong, he quickly told her what had happened.
After hearing what Sun Qiu said, Sun Ruotong frowned and said, "Father, based on the current situation, these grassland people... probably won't come!"
"What!?"
When Sun Qiu heard Sun Ruotong's words, his face instantly became extremely horrified!
"Ruotong, you...you must not scare your father!"
"If these grassland people really don't come, then... then our Sun family will be finished!"
Sun Qiu remembered that he was sweating profusely at this time. This time he invested 300,000 taels of silver!
If...if the grassland people don’t come, then what will they...what will they do with the charcoal?
If honeycomb charcoal had not yet appeared, it would be easy to sell the charcoal.
But now that we have honeycomb charcoal...it’s extremely difficult to sell these charcoals!
"Father, there are only two possibilities for those grassland people not showing up at the agreed time!"
"First, they were discovered by Dajing's people and killed!"
"As for the second..."
When Sun Ruotong said this, her eyes suddenly turned cold!
"The second one is...what is it?"
Sun Qiu asked hurriedly.
"As for the second point, these grassland people are fake!"
"They...are here just to trick our Sun family!"
When Sun Ruotong said this, her eyes suddenly turned cold!
……
"This……"
When Sun Qiu heard what Sun Ruotong said, he was completely dumbfounded!
If things are really as Sun Ruotong said, then this time, his Sun family will suffer a lot if they don't die!
But who would be so mean as to resort to such a trick against the Sun family! ?
What's more, where did the other party get the strength to get the token of the Duoyan tribe on the grassland?
"Ruotong, what should we do now?"
Sun Qiu looked at Sun Ruotong nervously.
He now desperately hopes that Sun Ruotong can think of a solution for him!
But Sun Ruotong said helplessly: "Father, now... I have no other choice."
"This time, the Sun family can only admit defeat!"
"Admit defeat...?"
When Sun Qiu heard what Sun Ruotong said, his face turned grim.
He doesn't want to admit defeat!
Besides, this time the amount is not a small one, it is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!
How could he...how could he admit defeat?!
Suddenly, Sun Qiu's eyes lit up!
"Ruotong, you...you go and beg Master Zheng to find a way to help our Sun family!"
"Master Zheng is the son of the Minister of Revenue. As long as he is willing to help, then...then our Sun family still has a chance!"
"The court is at war right now and needs charcoal!"
"As long as the imperial court uses charcoal from my Sun family, my Sun family can get through this difficult time!"
Sun Qiu said this excitedly.
But when Sun Ruotong heard what Sun Qiu said, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes!
In Sun Qiu's eyes, is she just a chess piece that can be sacrificed for the family at any time! ?
it is good!
Sun Qiu, you forced me to do this!
Sun Ruotong smiled and said calmly, "Don't worry, father. I will go find Master Zheng and ask him for help~"
"However, the purchase of charcoal by the imperial court is a big deal, and it may require money to operate, this..."
……
"no problem!"
Sun Qiu said cheerfully: "Ruotong, as long as you can help the Sun family get through this difficult time, you can use the money of the Sun family as you like!"
"I'll go inform the butler right away!"
Sun Qiu said this and left the hall excitedly.
However, Sun Ruotong looked at Sun Qiu's leaving back and laughed coldly!
This Sun family...it's better if she doesn't want to stay!
However, she has done so much for the Sun family, she can't leave in vain!
At the same time, in Jiang Chen's house, Mu Qingqing was drinking tea in the yard.
"Sister Qingqing, Zhang Ze has been in Luzhou County for a while now, but he has never made any move against us. He has also helped us negotiate cooperation with merchants from other counties."
"Could it be that Zhang Ze is really here to help us?"
Chen Yuanyuan sat next to Mu Qingqing and asked with a puzzled look on her face.
Recently, Zhang Ze has been very honest.
Not only did he not interfere with their business, but he also helped them reach cooperation with charcoal merchants in several other counties.
This made Chen Yuanyuan very confused.
"Hehe~ Sister Yuanyuan, Zhang Ze is not as simple as you think~" Mu Qingqing looked at Chen Yuanyuan and smiled faintly.
"What do you mean, sister?" Chen Yuanyuan asked puzzledly.
"Haha, even though Zhang Ze didn't do anything on the surface, he's still helping us, but... quite a few people have gone to Zhoujia Village recently!"
"Even the villagers of Zhoujia Village and several surrounding villages have been bribed by people with large sums of money!"
When Mu Qingqing said this, her eyes suddenly turned cold!
