As Mu Anxiao laughed at the moment Feng Qishi appeared, his expression visibly stiffened, and he asked, "What are you laughing at?" He furrowed his brow.
Mu Anxiao continued to look up at Feng Qishi and said, "Just because of a piece of clothing, General, you're too stingy." As she spoke, she endured the pain and tried to get up, but she couldn't.
Feng Qishi looked at Mu Anxiao's difficult movements, hesitated for a moment, and then looked at the servants beside him, saying, "Help her up."
"Yes," the two servants replied in unison, dropping the wooden sticks in their hands and bowing together to help Mu Anxiao up.
In the next moment, Mu Anxiao was supported by the two servants, one on each side, and brought before Feng Qishi. Feng Qishi looked down at Mu Anxiao's suddenly gaunt face and said coldly, "Apologize, and this matter will be settled."
"Really." Mu Anxiao tilted her head slightly, meeting Feng Qishi's eyes.
Feng Qishi met Mu Anxiao's gaze in the same way and said, "Of course, it's true, but," he hesitated for a moment, then continued, "I'm giving you a task now."
"What task?" Mu Anxiao asked, unconsciously taking a breath.
Feng Qishi: "Go out, go to the best inn in Jincheng, and bring me back a pot of wine."
"The best inn," Mu Anxiao chuckled helplessly, "General, what kind of joke are you playing? I haven't been here long, and when I arrived, I didn't stop at all, heading straight for you. Now you're asking me to go to the best inn here to get wine. If you're not messing with me, I won't believe it."
"That's your business, I'll be waiting for you." After saying that, Feng Qishi turned and left.
After Feng Qishi left, the two servants who were holding Mu Anxiao also let go. Thus, Mu Anxiao instantly fell to the ground. Immediately after, the other servants also left.
Mu Anxiao, lying on the ground, thought about the 'task' Feng Qishi had given her, and suddenly felt unsure.
At the same time, after confirming that they had all left, Ajiu and Ouyang Ye came to Mu Anxiao's side. Ajiu squatted down and said, "You have a fiancée."
Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao looked up at Ajiu, was stunned, and before she could speak, Ajiu said again, "You have a fiancée, why did you lie to me? Cao Gen, is it fun for you to deceive me like this?"
"I..."
"Don't say anything else, just tell me, why did you lie to me? Why?" Ajiu interrupted, her eyes wide.
Mu Anxiao looked at Ajiu's expression, which took her words seriously, and then thought about the play she had just staged to attract attention. Her heart sank, and she said, "You don't understand the things here. Besides," she looked up at Ajiu and continued, "don't you dislike me? Why are you so concerned about this now?"
"I just care that you're playing me," Ajiu said, reaching out and hitting Mu Anxiao on the head, then standing up and leaving.
Ouyang Ye watched Ajiu's retreating figure, sighed, and looked down at Mu Anxiao, "..."
Mu Anxiao also looked up at Ouyang Ye, "Boss, I got hit." She pretended to be wronged.
Ouyang Ye: "The task the General arranged for you, remember it." As he spoke, he squatted down.
Mu Anxiao frowned, "I remember, Boss, what do you mean?"
"Twenty planks, actually," Ouyang Ye reached out and put his hand on Mu Anxiao's shoulder, "for a man, it's nothing. You, stop lying down, hurry up and complete the task the General gave you."
"Boss..."
"Remember not to forget to find the medicinal herbs," Ouyang Ye interrupted, gently patting Mu Anxiao's shoulder. "I won't assign you any tasks for now."
"Boss, if you have any tasks to give, just say it. I don't just want to complete the tasks given by Shen Moyun," Mu Anxiao said enthusiastically.
Ouyang Ye was stunned and smiled, "You're like this, are you sure you can complete my tasks?"
"Boss, I'm sure, please don't let me go out in vain."
"Your mouth, it's truly good at coaxing people."
"I'm not coaxing," Mu Anxiao said, using Ouyang Ye's words, she laboriously supported her upper body. "What I say comes from the bottom of my heart. Please give me a task that I can complete." After saying that, she stood up in front of Ouyang Ye.
Ouyang Ye saw this and smiled, "I didn't expect you, kid, to be so loyal." As he spoke, he also stood up.
Mu Anxiao held her waist with one hand and said, "Boss, my only advantage is that my eyes are sharp. Tell me what you want me to do now, and I will go no matter how far I have to walk with my injured body." She straightened her back.
Ouyang Ye looked at Mu Anxiao's demeanor and smiled, "Your loyalty is truly as clear as heaven and earth. Alright, since that's the case, I'll tell you," he said seriously, "You go to the city wall now. When you get there, you'll see a small thatched hut. Buy some food and send it over, remember, don't let anyone else know."
"What's there?" Mu Anxiao asked out of curiosity.
Ouyang Ye said coldly, "You don't need to worry about that. Anyway, just leave the food outside." As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Mu Anxiao. "Buy according to this, it clearly states where to buy it."
Immediately, Mu Anxiao took the task paper and then looked down at it, saying, "Boss, these are all delicacies from the mountains and seas. I," she gave a wry smile, "I have no money."
"I knew you would say that," Ouyang Ye said, and immediately took out a money bag from his embrace and handed it to Mu Anxiao. "The silver in this bag can only last for three days. If it runs out, come and ask me for more."
"Three days, so that means," Mu Anxiao smiled, "this task will be mine from now on."
"Yes, go," Ouyang Ye said, waving his hand.
Mu Anxiao saw this, put the money bag into her embrace, turned around, and limped away.
Ouyang Ye didn't think much of it, glanced around, and then left.
In the blink of an eye.
Mu Anxiao arrived at the back door. Just as she was about to open the door, she suddenly remembered the woman behind her. So she hesitated, turned, and walked to the stable, saying, "I'm going out now, do you need anything."
The woman said coldly, "Don't try to bribe me, I'll still torment that kid Lin Zhao tonight, get lost."
"You..." Mu Anxiao, believing she had no time to argue with the woman, sighed and turned away.
After hearing Mu Anxiao leave completely, the woman crawled out from the ground and muttered, "What a meddlesome person." With a snort, she turned and left.
A moment later, Mu Anxiao walked out of the alley, casually took out the money bag from her embrace, and smelled it under her nose, muttering, "No demonic energy." Relieved, she put the money bag back into her embrace when Feng Qishi suddenly appeared before her. She glanced at him and asked, "Why are you out?"
