“Crown Prince, you need to visit Li Village today. Prime Minister Chu is there. You have to visit there and meet Prime Minister Chu.” Junyi persuaded him.
Gu Ruxue’s expression sank when she heard what Junyi said.
She had never wanted to visit a place like Li County, but this strategist insisted that she should be here. Yesterday she spent the day at the office, which felt good, but she was so bored right now, and she wanted the Crown Prince to keep her company to check out the colored glaze.
However, this strategist just did not want her to do that.
Gu Ruxue said with a cold face, “Officer, since we already have everything ready at Li Village, the Crown Prince can go there when he has time. We don’t have to do that so hurriedly. Prime Minister Chu is there, isn’t he?”
Junyi almost rolled his eyes inwardly.
He had not expected that the Crown Prince Consort would be helpful. He just hoped that she would not slow them down.
Women were just stupid and annoying existences!
The Phoenix Girl was like this, let alone the other women!
Zhou Huailing said, “Ruxue, the Officer from Li County can keep you company for shopping, just buy anything you want, and I will pay them later.”
“…”
“I need to go to Li Village to solve the problem so that we can go back home sooner.” Zhou Huailing consoled her.
Gu Ruxue was very displeased, but she said nothing and just glared at Junyi, leaving unhappily.
Only now did Zhou Huailing decide to leave for Li Village.
He had not wanted to visit Li Village at all, but what he had said made him excited, so he believed that he should handle the incident at Li Village first. And he could take the opportunity to make Prime Minister Chu take his side.

On the way to Li Village…
Junyi felt slightly better. He could do nothing about the Crown Prince Consort, but the Crown Prince was clear-minded enough to understand what was important. That made him feel slightly better.
Zhou Huailing threw his temper about the bumpy road to Li Village. Then they came to Li Village.
Zhou Huailing was very disdainful.
For him, Li County was just a small place, and he did not have to be here, since Prime Minister Chu was already here.
“Crown Prince, that is the dike which is being dug in front of us. It is for defense and it can be used as a river dike too. The civilians should be very grateful to you, let alone the King,” Junyi said with a smile, feeling very satisfied.
Zhou Huailing threw a casual look at it, but he did not take it to heart.
“In a couple of days, the defense will be built and Prime Minister Chu’s men will spend the shortest time catching that thing, then we will be done with the task.”
When it was mentioned Zhou Huailing thought of something.
After the Prince of North Qi went back to his country, he broke the deal. Xie Yan had visited him, but the Prince did not believe his words.
Those monsters should have been more ferocious than these things.
What a pity.
“Junyi, when we are done with Li Village, go to North Qi. I need you to do something,” Zhou Huailing said.
The words had just been spoken, and Junyi had yet to answer, when suddenly the sound of hasty footsteps rushed towards Zhou Huailing.
Zhou Huailing turned around and his eyes widened, looking extremely frightened.
