Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Chapter 261: Mountain Courtyard Secret Planning

Amidst the intertwined prosperity and treacherous circumstances of the capital, Shen Li was like a far-sighted chess player, meticulously planning each of his moves.

One day, Shen Li called Zhao Lin to her side, and said with a serious expression but also a hint of expectation: "Zhao Lin, the situation in the capital is very turbulent now, and we need to make plans for the future.

I intend to purchase two mountains outside the capital as a base for us to build our power. What do you think?"

Zhao Lin was slightly startled, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but seeing Shen Li's determined look, he cupped his hands and replied: "Since the county lady has such a plan, I will obey your orders. However, this project is huge and needs to be carried out in secrecy. No news should be leaked."

Shen Li nodded slightly, with approval in her eyes: "Zhao Lin, I'll leave this matter to you. I believe you can handle it well."

Zhao Lin personally led a group of carefully selected, skilled, loyal and reliable craftsmen and laborers and plunged into the deep mountains and forests.

They are like tireless worker ants, working day and night.

During this time, Zhao Lin directed everyone and shouted loudly: "This wall must be built high and thick, and no detail can be neglected. This concerns the safety of all of us!" The craftsmen responded in unison and did not stop working for a moment.

"The secret sentry here must be cleverly set up. It must be concealed and able to monitor the surrounding movements in all directions."

While checking the position of the secret sentry, Zhao Lin gave instructions to the assistant beside him.

"Yes, sir, don't worry!" the assistant replied quickly, adjusting the angle of the sentry deftly.

After several days of hard work, the yard has begun to take shape.

Shen Li came to check it out, her eyes full of satisfaction: "Zhao Lin, you did a great job. The layout of this courtyard is very much to my liking. Next is the design of the secret passage. This is crucial. Do you have any ideas?"

Zhao Lin bowed and said, "County Master, I have some ideas. I will definitely make this secret passage conceal our whereabouts and help us escape in times of crisis."

In the basement of the courtyard and in the surrounding mountains, Zhao Lin and several craftsmen who were proficient in mechanical engineering were busy.

"The passage here leads to a secret exit deep in the forest. The exit must be well camouflaged and must not be easily discovered." Zhao Lin said, pointing to a tunnel entrance.

"Sir, this tunnel is very complicated. Wouldn't it be easy to get lost?" a craftsman asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, we will mark the route well, and everyone needs to remember the route. This is our way to save our lives, and it must be foolproof." Zhao Lin answered firmly.

During this difficult and challenging process, Zhao Lin witnessed Shen Li's amazing wisdom and courage and perseverance.

Once, on the training ground, a little beggar was a little frustrated because he was not doing well in martial arts. Shen Li walked over, patted his shoulder gently, and said softly: "Don't be discouraged, martial arts is not a one-day effort. Look, this move should be exerted like this..."

Having said that, she began to demonstrate herself, performing a set of military boxing with great vigor. Although she was petite, her movements were light yet powerful.

Zhao Lin watched from the side, secretly admiring him in his heart.

After Shen Li finished teaching, he stepped forward and said, "County Master, you are so young, but you are so thoughtful and caring towards these children. I have never seen a master as patient and intelligent as you."

Shen Li smiled and said, "They are all poor children. I hope to give them a different future. Moreover, if we want to achieve great things, we cannot do without the efforts of everyone."

When Shen Li began to train the little beggars she had gathered from the streets, her performance impressed Zhao Lin completely.

One day, Shen Li was holding a book, sitting among a group of teenagers, and patiently explaining: "Everyone, listen to me. Learning to read can help you understand the world and understand more truths. The stories in this book are very interesting. Take a look..."

The children sat together, their eyes wide open, listening with great interest.

"County Princess, you know so much!" a child couldn't help but admire.

"As long as you study hard, you will understand a lot of knowledge in the future." Shen Li replied with a smile, his eyes full of encouragement.

Shen Li's kindness and sincerity are like a gurgling spring, nourishing everyone's heart. Unknowingly, it gradually melts the cold shell deep in Zhao Lin's heart that was built up due to years of serving as a secret guard and going through countless life and death tests.

Looking at Shen Li's petite but powerful figure busy running around on the training ground, Zhao Lin felt an indescribable complex emotion in his heart.

One day, Zhao Lin looked at Shen Li's back and said to Chu Qiu beside him with emotion: "I never thought that a nine-year-old child could have such a broad mind and wisdom. At first, I just thought of this as a task, but now I really want to follow the county lady and help her achieve her wish."

Chu Qiu smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, we all see how good the young lady is. I believe that under her leadership, we will be able to make a name for ourselves."

Today, this courtyard that carries Shen Li's hopes and dreams has been perfectly completed and all facilities are available.

The power cultivated by Shen Li himself is like a seedling breaking through the soil, taking root and growing in this hidden mountain forest. It undergoes strict and orderly training and learning every day, constantly absorbing nutrients and growing healthily.

Shen Li is like a nimble butterfly, often shuttling between the bustling streets of the capital and the quiet paths of the mountains and forests.

She continued to carefully manage Fuxilou with her wisdom and talent, constantly expanding her business territory, making Fuxilou shine more and more brightly on the business stage of Beijing;

On the other hand, he was concentrating on cultivating his own secret power and carefully polishing this sword that had not yet been unsheathed.

She quietly waits for the right opportunity, like a cheetah lurking in the dark, waiting for the best time to hunt, ready to show her strength to the fullest on the grand stage of the capital, to use her wisdom and courage to unravel the secrets hidden in the depths of darkness, and to carve out a bright road to a safe and stable future for herself and her family.
