Back Off, Let Me Come

Jimo Qiu opened the tent curtain.

The people in the tent subconsciously turned their heads and looked over.

Their eyes met.

Jimo Qiu silently lowered the curtain, breathed, and opened it again.

The picture he saw in front of him did not change, which was enough to prove that he was not hallucinating. When Jimo Qiu was thinking about whether to leave for a while and give his elderly brother some private space, Gong Xiqiu asked doubtfully: "Brother, why don't you come in?"

Looking down, he saw the food box in Jimo Qiu's hand.

Gong Xiqiu came forward as usual.

"What are you doing in the cafeteria today?"

The reconstruction of the old royal capital of Gao Kingdom is still in full swing, and there are still several small-scale resistance outside. The camp is not very manpower-rich, and the food supply is limited. After arriving late, there are only leftovers. The only advantage is that the dishes are different every day.

The taste is also remarkable.

Jimo Qiu put down the food boxes and arranged them one after another.

He had eaten in the cafeteria and gave this to Gong Xiqiu.

"What's wrong with your face?"

Gong Xiqiu's face was covered with a layer of snow-white putty, with only two eyes and one mouth exposed. Just when Jimo Qiu turned around to look at him, he almost didn't recognize him. The shock was too great. Gong Xiqiu used a wooden spoon to add rice to the bowl, and each spoonful was filled with rice.

Jimo Qiu asked: "Is there any discomfort?"

Or is it that your older brother wants to learn how to dress up? Alas, that's not how he dresses up. He is pretending to be a ghost.

"This is the pearl powder sent by Xu Wenshi."

"Pearl powder?"

"It's said to be a beautiful girl powder or a masculine powder. It can keep the skin young and cover up marks." Gong Xiqiu explained while eating, "Many women in the Conservation Association like it. He relied on his connections to get a few boxes of it that have not yet been sold on the market. I wanted my help to try out the effect of this product. It smelled quite good, so I accepted it..."

The eldest brother is older than me.

Jimo Qiu was deeply impressed by Xu Wenshi.

The young man has always looked up to his younger brother as a role model.

"What powder?"

Gong Xiqiu fetched the unused pearl powder.

The powder is fine and you can smell the faint fragrance of peach blossoms if you get close.

The box of pearl powder also has elegant markings.

If you look closely, it is the word "Yerong".

Gong Xiqiu continued: "Before Alai's wedding, I saw several of these things on her dressing table."

If the effect is good, you can ask Xu Wenshi for a few more boxes to give to Alai. She seems to like these things. Jimo Qiu turned the things over and looked at them: "I did see similar ones in Fengluo before, and there were pattern words on the boxes."

As he spoke, he took out a small bottle from his arms.

Not tapioca, but a balm.

Just by looking at the name, you can tell that it was produced by a workshop.

There is a portrait of a lady on top of the ointment, and there is a poem beside it. There is a small string of small characters at the bottom, which is endorsed by a certain lady, and everyone who uses it will say it is good. Jimo Qiu remembered that there were all kinds of balms and powders in that shop, and the same product would have different portraits on it.

The content of the fine print is much the same.

Different scent colors are endorsed by different people.

Jimo Qiu only picked out the balm he liked, but the men and women who came to the shop to buy were different. They seemed to be here to collect the complete set, and they also asked emphatically about "limited edition".

At that time, Jimo Qiu was curious and asked the lady who was entertaining customers in the shop what a limited edition was. The smiling lady said what spokesperson, series of blind boxes, in short, limited supply.

[Would a limited edition be better? 】

The female monarch gently shakes the sword fan with a painting of a maid dancing a sword.

He smiled and said: [It will be more expensive. 】

Jimoqiu pays attention to the price.

He found that those so-called limited editions were really half as expensive as the regular editions he had, but those limited editions were snapped up by a group of people as soon as they came out. Either he came in person, or he sent his maid who was in charge of the family to come. The money was given very happily, for fear that he would not be able to grab it if it was given too late. Jimo Qiu secretly paid attention to those limited editions and found that the portraits and words on them were indeed different.

For those that have no portraits, the background patterns are different flowers, grasses and landscapes, and the characters underneath are of the same style as so and so. The ointment that Jimo Qiu likes is said to be [Qin Jun's same model]. One day, he used it at a court meeting. The king heard it and asked specifically what kind of fragrance it was.

[Who is Qin Jun? 】

[Master Qin, Qin Li, Qin Gongsu! 】

He loves this balm that combines orchid and green bamboo.

[Isn’t that a court official? 】

[There are so many people named Qin in the world. 】

If the court or the Lord of Qin wanted to pursue it, it would be difficult to pursue it. After all, it did not have the three characters Qin Gongsu printed on it. Even if it is printed, is it still difficult to find someone with the same name and surname in Kang State? This area falls into a gray area, and the government turns a blind eye. How can the big shots keep up with the high taxes they pay diligently every year?

Every time a new model is launched, it is sent to Qin Jun.

Of course, this is only superficial reason.

The real reason is that the owner of [Yue Rong] is a colleague of Qin Jun.

Jimo Qiu looked at the pearl powder box in his hand, and then looked at his elderly brother. He felt that it would not be long before a brand of jade girl powder/macho man with the words "Same as Gongxijun" and "Specially provided by Gongxiqiu Conservation Association" Fans will also be on sale, and there may be a limited edition version of the Gongxi Enemy statue. When Gong Xiqiu saw that Jimo Qiu could not hold it, he thought he also wanted to use pearl powder to maintain it.

"Brother, I'll give you two boxes."

Jimo Qiu put the box down: "No need."

It’s hard to explain in one sentence: “With your strength, you don’t need to maintain it.”

Gong Xiqiu's appearance has always been stable at twenty-five or six, with abundant energy and blood and delicate texture. Is it necessary to maintain it?

“Always keep up with the preferences of young people.”

Appearance is secondary, the inner state should keep up.

Jimo Qiu did not comment on this, but reminded his brother: "If Xu Wenshi tells you something later, needs your help, or gives you a portrait, remember to ask him for money."

Gong Xichou, who was busy eating, raised his eyes quietly.

"Why?"

"Limited edition."

It doesn't matter whether it's money or not, what matters is that it's a limited edition.

Jimo Qiu suspected that Xu Wenshi wanted to trick his brother into helping him make money, so it would not be wrong to remind him first. Gong Xichou said he would remember it.

But Xu Wenshi had not been seen for several days.

However, Xu Wenshi's guards sent gifts to Gong Xichou on time.

No merit, no reward. Gong Xichou had to care about the situation of this little fanboy: "I haven't seen your general these days. Is he busy with important matters and can't come?"

The guards said: "My general received the king's order."

Gong Xichou didn't ask any more questions after hearing this.

Even colleagues cannot disclose their respective tasks at will.

The next day, Xu Quan appeared.

Gong Xichou coiled up at the highest point of the tower in the posture of a martial totem to bask in the sun. He had been busy working all morning, and now he needed to take a nap to recover. When Xu Wenshi's breath approached from outside the city, he noticed it, and raised his snake head alertly, looked over there and coiled back. The old king of Gaoguo had several city gates, and this place was the most remote, and most of the houses nearby were where poor common people lived. Fortunately, the fire in the capital was far away from here, otherwise, when the fire started, few people here would have escaped.

The reconstruction here also started the latest.

There were only our own people, and few common people.

Gong Xichou didn't want to pay attention to it, but soon he noticed that Xu Wenshi and his group were sneaking around. As the distance got closer, an indescribable stench of decay became stronger. Gong Xichou narrowed his snake pupils, and Xu Quan also noticed his presence, waved to the convoy behind him, and signaled them to enter the city quietly: "Why is General Gongxi here?"

Before Xu Quan got close, he was forced back by an invisible force.

This force had no malicious intent, so Xu Quan followed the force and looked at the owner of the force in surprise, not understanding why Gong Xichou suddenly rejected him. Gong Xichou: "You went to dig graves?"

Xu Quan's eyes suddenly became vague, and he felt guilty.

Gong Xichou was not an outsider, and he guessed it, so he stopped hiding it: "The major families in the capital of Gao State were basically killed or injured in the fire. There will be no descendants to offer tribute in the future, and their ancestral tombs will only take up space."

Taking advantage of the chaos, they secretly dug them up to supplement military expenses.

Before, when asking the Ministry of Revenue for military pay, Minister Xun had always said that fighting was a huge loss, and Xu Quan also knew the seriousness of the problem. Other colleagues targeted the ancestral tombs of the noble families. There is a custom of lavish burials in Gao State, and there are many burial objects after the burial of the noble families.

The dead will not be used, and it is a waste to bury them underground.

Xu Quan has been busy with this matter recently.

Whether this family has no descendants or has descendants alive, they will all be visited. Because of the trend of lavish burials, this trip was very fruitful, and the income from digging graves was enough to cover the expenses of a 10,000-man army for three to five months. This was also thanks to the fire in the capital and the bloody battle in the royal mausoleum, which severely damaged the vitality of the Gao family and made it difficult for them to protect themselves. Otherwise, the opposition from the major families would have been more or less a hindrance.

When the remnants of the family reacted, the ancestral tombs were gone.

Xu Quan came back at a coincidence.

The soldiers and horses transporting the burial objects walked towards the bloody people who were dragged out. If you get close, you can still hear the curses from their mouths. The content was nothing more than cursing Shen Tang for digging up people's ancestral graves, throwing away people's corpses, disturbing people's ancestors, and committing countless crimes that hurt the heaven and committed great crimes.

Xu Quan listened twice and turned his face away.

When they passed by, his lips moved twice.

[Shame on you. 】

The bloody man who was dragged out suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Wenshi in disbelief. He looked at the baggage carts covered with coarse cloth behind Xu Wenshi's warhorse, as if he had thought of something, and his eyes were bloodshot. He struggled to move forward, but he couldn't get away. Xu Quan only heard more miserable curses and curses from behind him, and sneered.

In the troubled times for thousands of years, isn't it normal to dig up ancestral graves for military supplies?

They are all civilized. At least they didn't throw their ancestors' bones everywhere, let alone destroy the bodies. Instead, they washed the bodies, wrapped them in white cloth and put them in the original place with the tablets. Alas, it is rare to see such polite and civilized tomb raiders in troubled times.

Xu Quan completed his task smoothly.

While drinking water, he asked the guards two more questions.

The guards said: "These people come to make noise every day, and they are beaten out every time. If you say that the master is still merciful, why keep these troublesome things? Let them ruin your reputation?"

Xu Quan warned in a calm voice.

"How can you guess the Lord's intention?"

The guards knelt down hurriedly to admit their mistakes.

Xu Quan said: "Only by being careful in what you say and do can you live long."

The guards responded with cold sweat.

Xu Quan was not too harsh. He softened his tone with a warning and asked the guards if they had any letters from home. Previously, the war was tense and it was difficult to send letters from home. They could only be sent to the rear area and responded by the guards. Now that the war is completely over, communication has been restored.

The guards said: "Yes."

All the letters from home are kept.

"Also, has the painter of [Yuerong] arrived?"

The Gongxiqiu Conservation Association has expanded to more than 30,000 people, a considerable number of whom are children and relatives of court officials, with strong spending power. They are gradually not satisfied with the pursuit of the same hair accessories as idols. At a general meeting, they proposed to customize the same products as idols as internal benefits for members of the conservation association.

As the president, Xu Quan is also obliged to do this!

But the plan has not yet been implemented, and we have to go to the battlefield to fight.

It was stranded for more than a year.

Gong Xiqiu is here, the opportunity cannot be missed, the time will never come again!

Xu Quan quickly contacted [Yue Rong] through Lin Feng’s connections. Lin Feng responded that [Yue Rong] was very interested and hoped to make two styles, one for the conservation association and one for sale. A limited series, if the sales are good, there will be a share. The profit part can be used as membership fees and used to organize membership activities in the future. Well, I forgot to mention that the vice president of the association is Shen Tang.

_(:з　∠)_

The owner of the country wants five points of net profit.

Everything went smoothly and Xu Quan was in a good mood.

This good mood lasted until I saw the letter from home.

Looking at the latest, painted home letter, Xu Quan's expression was confused, dull, horrified, embarrassed and then furious!

"Brother, brother..."

Xu Quan was so angry that his fingers trembled.

He just imitates his idol and focuses on martial arts, and is not in the mood to start a family at the moment. His brother is so cruel that he hopes to let him have a good relationship with his idol! Xu Wenzhu, have you forgotten the gender of the cousin you raised? Or is it that the family's situation is so bad that they want to use him to marry Gong Xiqiu in exchange for peace?

Brother, he...

Could it be that he made a huge mistake?

For a time, Xu Quan's face was completely white and almost bloodless.

However, this is not the most terrible thing.

The most terrible thing is that when Uncle Zhao heard the news about his return, he came over with a smile to inquire about the income from digging graves. Zhao Feng has been in a good mood recently. As a general who has been in the first volume, he walks with wind. He slapped Xu Quan on the shoulder with his big palm: "What is Wen Shi thinking about?"

This slap caused the family book in his hand to fall to the ground.

Xu Quan was still distracted, while Zhao Feng bent down to pick up the family letter.

I accidentally read all the key content.

His pupils shrank suddenly, and Zhao Feng's expression was horrified, as if he had seen a ghost.

Xu Quan reacted and hurriedly explained: "Uncle Zhao——"

Zhao Feng couldn't believe it: "Xu Wenzhu, is he crazy?"

He looked up at Xu Quan.

The young man in his late thirties had tears in his eyes.

"Uncle Zhao, save my nephew!" No, he had to find someone to suppress his cousin, and he couldn't let his cousin go crazy. You can sit down and discuss serious matters, and there is no need to push him out!

Zhao Feng took a deep breath.

"For the current plan, we can only go to the Lord."

Shen Tang is not in the main tent at the moment but at Xun Zhen's side.

Crackling, crackling.

The jade abacus beads made a sweet and crisp sound when Xun Zhen played with them with his long fingers, and his face was filled with an unstoppable smile. He counts one, and Shen Tang reads one. The monarch and his ministers have never seen the treasury so rich in their lives, and the second batch of ancestral property from the Jimo Qiu tribe has just arrived. This batch is all golden and will not disappear.

"It's enough to defeat the Northern Desert and Gao Country again."

Xun Zhen's eyes were eager.

"Developed well, we will attack the southwest next, and wait for Shaomei to send back the good news. My incarnation in the southwest Qi country, 'Wuyou', has set up a small job with the help of Kewu. If done properly, it will have miraculous effects."

The Cui family is very important in Qi State.

Appointments there do not require personal approval from the king, but are recommended, and Cui Hui's role in the process is crucial.
