Chapter 145 Qin Beihuang Comes to Thank You
Qin Beihuang knew that she wanted to get to know Qiu Cheng for the sake of the Ling family. They had argued about this matter, but it was of no avail.
Later, she went to see Qiu Cheng privately, but Qiu Cheng refused to let her in. He said, "Qin Beihuang can discuss your Qin family's affairs with me alone. I don't stay alone with married women, so as not to tarnish my reputation."
She didn't have a good reputation in Kyoto at the time, and she still remembers the contempt in Qiu Cheng's words.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ningwan recalled carefully.
Qiu Cheng came to Kyoto to purchase military supplies.
A large number of bandits have gathered in the northwest.
In the previous life, this group of bandits had unknown origins. They seemed to have suddenly appeared overnight, causing chaos everywhere and harassing the people.
Later, Lu Qingheng was sent to clear out the bandits. They were all wiped out, leaving no one alive. There is no detailed record of this group of bandits.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ningwan took out a pen and ink and wrote a letter. The northwest area is also under the jurisdiction of the Zhenxi Army. If there is detailed information, the Zhenxi Army may be able to wipe it out in one fell swoop.
In short, this credit cannot fall on Lu Qingheng.
She wrote down everything she remembered in detail and sent someone to deliver it to Yan Yue of the Zhenxi Army at full speed.
……
镇西军.
Main account.
General Yan, dressed in black and with a dignified expression, was looking at the map on the table. "This group of bandits is different from the ones I've seen before. They move in an erratic manner."
"They only destroyed houses and property and burned rice fields, but never harmed anyone. It doesn't seem like they were doing it for money, nor does it seem like they were doing it for evil."
Yan Yue nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, but they are causing chaos everywhere, scaring the people into panic. It always feels like they are deliberately attracting attention."
"It's a pity that their activities are so irregular that we don't know where they are hiding. Otherwise, we should capture them now and interrogate them thoroughly."
Just as he finished speaking, a soldier's shout suddenly came -
"Report! Letter from Kyoto City!"
Yan Yue reached out to take it, and when he saw that it was a letter from Jiang Ningwan, his frown suddenly relaxed.
General Yan noticed his expression and asked, "Whose letter is it? You look so happy."
Yan Yue smiled and said, "It's a letter from Jiang Ningwan. I mentioned Jiang Ningwan to you before. I wanted to recruit her into the Zhenxi Army, but I didn't expect the emperor to confer the title on her first."
General Yan nodded. "So it's her. What's the reason for her letter?"
When Yan Yue finished reading the contents of the letter, he was shocked, and then overjoyed, "Dad, timely rain has arrived."
"She provided the intelligence about that gang of bandits, including their exact location."
Hearing this, General Yan was shocked. "What? How could she have such intelligence when she's in Kyoto?"
"Are you sure her information is credible?"
Yan Yue thought it over again and again, then nodded solemnly, "Dad, I trust her!"
"Okay, since she's someone you trust, trust her this time. You can take care of this matter."
If this person had not been through life and death with Yan Yue, he really would not have dared to believe it easily. After all, if this was false information, his life and death would be in jeopardy if he went there rashly.
After sufficient preparation, Yan Yue led his troops out early the next morning to wipe out the bandits.
……
Kyoto City.
A few days passed.
Doctor Hong, who rarely gets angry, finally couldn't help but get angry.
He slammed the account book onto the table.
"We've pushed the price down to the point where we can't make a profit, and we're even paying for the manpower to transport the goods all the way north, and yet they still won't agree."
"That's a lot of money."
"Not only do they not allow us to make money, they are also taking money out of our pockets. This is too much!"
Jiang Ningwan was not surprised. In the previous life, the business ended here. Businessmen would not do business at a loss. Qianqiu Trading Company had so many people to support.
But this time, she still wants to try.
Look how shameless Qiu Cheng is.
"Lower the price by another 10%."
Doctor Hong was extremely shocked. "With the eldest lady here, if we reduce the price by another 10%, we will lose money on this deal, and the loss will be at least 5,000 taels."
Jiang Ningwan was firm in her attitude. "Lower it. If you don't agree to it by 10%, then I'll lower it by 20%. If you still don't agree to it by 20%, then I'll lower it by 30."
Hearing this, Dr. Hong almost thought she was crazy.
Qianqiu Trading Company has never suffered such a huge loss in business.
"Miss, is that really the case? Even if this deal is successful, I'm afraid we'll just be feeding those greedy people, and we'll suffer even greater losses in the future."
Jiang Ningwan nodded. "Just do as I say. As long as we don't sign a contract, we can always change our minds."
Doctor Hong responded solemnly, "Okay."
In the next few days, Jiang Ningwan waited for news from Doctor Hong, but his business negotiations were not going smoothly.
There has been no response from Qiu Cheng yet, and the price has been reduced by 30%. It can be said that there is no other price cheaper than theirs.
That day, Jiang Ningwan was resting at Jiang's house when two uninvited guests suddenly came to visit.
Li Chun turned around and hurried into the yard as if she had seen a ghost, "Miss, Princess Yi and Qin Beihuang are here."
Jiang Ningwan was slightly startled, and without hesitation, she said, "No."
Li Chun added, "Qin Beihuang said that if you don't show up, they will wait outside the door."
“It’s not pretty.”
Jiang Ningwan put down the teacup heavily, stood up and went to the door.
We have to see what they want to do.
What surprised her was that Qin Beihuanghe's Princess Yi actually brought a lot of gifts.
In her previous life, she had been married to Qin Beihuang for seven years, and the gifts he gave her combined were not as many as these.
It's rare.
"What's the matter?"
Jiang Ningwan was wearing a black and red dress, leaning lazily against the door with her arms folded across her chest. She was not wearing any makeup, but her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were like stars, and her heroic spirit could not be concealed between her eyebrows.
It was a casual movement, but it inexplicably caught Qin Beihuang's attention.
It made him unable to take his eyes away.
"Mother said that you saved her last time, and you should come and thank her."
Princess Yi also greeted him with a smile, dignified and gentle. "Yes, I should have come to thank you a long time ago, but you are busy with your work. I learned that you were in the mansion today, so I came to visit you specially."
"Isn't it disturbing you?"
Jiang Ningwan's expression was indifferent, unperturbed. "Okay, thanks are done. I don't need the things, so take them back."
After saying that, she turned and left.
The weasel has no good intention in paying New Year's greeting to the chicken.
Lichun quickly chased the guests away and closed the door.
Princess Yi's face changed when she saw this. She quickly bumped Qin Beihuang's arm twice, asking him to speak quickly and keep Jiang Ningwan.
Qin Beihuang clenched his palms and said quickly: "You don't need these. There is someone you should want to meet."
"Deputy Commander of the North."
Hearing these words, Jiang Ningwan paused.
Qiu Cheng...
The person that Qin Beihuang had refused to let her make friends with in her previous life actually took the initiative to introduce her to him.
Turning back, she walked back to the gate and asked, "Deputy Commander Qiu?"
Seeing her return, Qin Beihuang felt relieved. "Yes, he used to bring back all the news from the North. If you want to know about your grandfather's family's recent situation, you can discuss it directly with Deputy Commander Qiu."
Jiang Ningwan still leaned against the door, sizing Qin Beihuang up, trying to discern his intentions. "Would you like to introduce him to me?"
"Yes, just consider it as a thank you for saving my mother."
"Okay, when?" Jiang Ningwan agreed happily.
Just as Qin Beihuang was about to speak, Princess Yi stepped forward and took her hand affectionately, "Ningwan, look how awkward it is for us to talk standing at the gate."
"Why don't you go in and have a cup of tea and talk slowly?"
"Beihuang will tell you everything I know about this Deputy Commander Qiu."
It's really creepy to see Princess Yi's warm and gentle look.
Qin Beihuang didn't refuse.
What evil things are these mother and son planning?
Thinking of Qiu Cheng, Jiang Ningwan agreed and moved aside.
"please."
As soon as she entered the Jiang residence, Princess Yi was attracted by the magnificent courtyard and couldn't take her eyes off it.
It would be great if I could live here.
