Chapter 193 Waiting for Her in the Snow
Now is not the time for sadness. Winter snowy nights are fraught with danger. Wild animals in the mountains are most sensitive to the smell of blood, and once they follow the scent, it will be even more dangerous.
Thousands of miles away, in the capital city
It was time to deliver the supplies again. Xue Ruanruan rode her little donkey out of the city and headed straight for a farmhouse on the outskirts of Beijing.
Another reason for wanting to increase the supply was to earn more money.
The Xue family army of 100,000 men consumes a considerable amount of food and fodder every day. Moreover, it is the dead of winter, and the army needs not only food and fodder, but also supplies to keep warm.
Relying on resources produced by the space is not a long-term solution, and the spiritual items produced by the space are incomparable to those produced outside in terms of both appearance and taste.
If you want to earn more money in the future, you can no longer rely on quantity to win.
Scarcity drives up prices. Vegetables, for example, can cost as much as a hundred kilograms of grain in winter, yet they are still in short supply and are snapped up by prestigious families.
This gave Xue Ruanruan a taste of success, so she changed her strategy. Once other industries took off, she gradually reduced the amount of spiritual items she sold from her space and switched to a high-end approach, selling them specifically to wealthy people.
She also plans to purchase thousands of acres of fertile land and hills to grow grains, vegetables, and fruits, so that if the space disappears, it won't be a fatal blow to her.
Having learned from her past mistakes, she is now more cautious in her actions. She believes that preparation is key to success and that it is always wise to plan ahead.
With the Regent Prince as their backer, as long as he remains safe and sound, no one will dare to bully the General's Mansion and the Xue family's sons.
She was confident that she could provide a comfortable and prosperous life for the 100,000 soldiers of the Xue family.
Thinking about the tens of thousands of silver notes to be collected, Xue Ruanruan was overjoyed. She patted the little donkey and said, "Maomao, hurry up, we've collected more silver notes. Once your master gets the silver notes, I'll give you special treatment and let you eat fragrant spirit rice."
As if understanding, the little donkey galloped merrily through the snowy night.
"Stop! Stop! Stop right now!"
A piercing scream rang out in the darkness, and a man and a donkey were seen rolling straight into the ditch by the roadside.
Farmhouse in the suburbs of Beijing
Amidst the swirling snow and biting wind, a man dressed in a black brocade robe and wearing a jade crown stood proudly like a vigorous pine tree.
Snowflakes fluttered down, landing on his shoulders, hair, and clothes, but he was oblivious, his gaze fixed intently on the distant dirt road, now covered in snow.
The brocade robe, as deep and solemn as the inky black night sky, was made of extremely luxurious material and embroidered with exquisite and intricate patterns. These patterns, faintly visible against the black background, resembled twinkling stars in the night sky.
From afar, it resembles a deity descending from the heavens, noble and serene.
"Master, the divine physician girl was supposed to deliver the goods at 7 PM, but she hasn't arrived yet. Should I go and check on her?"
The agreed-upon delivery time was 7 PM, and his master had been waiting in the snowy night for almost half an hour, but the divine physician had not yet arrived. Yan Xiao gripped his sword in one hand, his face full of anxiety.
The winter night was cold, and they had been waiting for a long time in the biting wind and snow, but they still hadn't seen any sign of the divine healer, so they couldn't help but feel anxious.
The master's poison has not yet been cured, and there is a risk that such a harsh environment might trigger the poison to flare up.
What will they do if something really happens?
"No rush, let's wait a bit longer."
A deep, magnetic voice suddenly rang out, clear and melodious like a spring, yet carrying an undeniable and powerful pressure that made people dare not act rashly.
