Chapter 42 Difficulties
The mayor of Caishi Town is in his fifties. I don’t know if it’s because he often worrys. He has several wrinkles on his brows and his hair is slightly gray. His face is very kind, but he smiles a little bitter.
When he entered the house, Ling Si was having a meal, to be precise, he was having a meal with Yan Shu.
The mayor of Caishi Town, Chang Jichun, had long heard of General Ling's reputation. It is rumored that this general was an enemy of ten thousand people. He was a man who was a pass and could not open his door. He was a famous man and shocked the four countries. This time he made great contributions and completely solved the battle situation in Tongyang Pass. He was regarded as the god of war by people on the entire Xiling border.
Of course, not all rumors are positive. Chang Jichun has been in business for many years and has some connections in the local area. Then he heard some news that the general's reputation in the court seemed to be not very good. There were no less than three court officials who were scolded and vomited blood by him. But they were really capable. Even the one on the dragon throne was helpless and he was left alone every time. Fortunately, this man rarely returned to Beijing. If he was stationed in the capital, I wonder how many people would vomit blood.
Such a big boss actually came to transport jade. Chang Jichun was worried, took out 120,000 caution, bent down and bowed and bowed, "General Ling, the mayor of Caishi Town, Chang Jichun, yesterday because he got out of the mine, could not come to pay his respects in time. I hope General Ling would forgive him."
"Okay, sit there and wait. If you have any questions, wait for me to have supper."
Ling Si didn't even look back, and pointed to the seat next to him. His hands kept moving, and served a bowl of soup and delivered it to Yan Shu. "Boy Yan, you like to drink soup. This bacon and bamboo shoot soup is pretty good. I'll give you a bowl."
"I said you guys are too picky to eat. This meat is delicious, and you can't just eat meat. This monkey erectus mushroom is very delicious. Come on some."
"Okay, okay, don't eat it if you don't eat it, why don't you come to some?"
...
Chang Jichun, who watched the whole process: "..."
Is this person in front of me really the legendary war god Ling Si Master? What's going on with this sense of déjà? This style is a bit different from what he imagined!
And the young master who covered his birthmarks with the birthmark beside him, I don’t know who he could actually let the Tang Si Master Ling pick up food and serve soup. If he hadn’t seen this scene with his own eyes, he would have really never dared to think about it!
Although he was shocked, Chang Jichun also withdrew his gaze at the right time and did not dare to look at it. He sat in his seat with his eyes and nose, striving to minimize his presence.
In fact, with Yan Shu here, Ling Si basically couldn't see others. Zhou Huaian had a deep understanding of this.
It was not until the meal was used that this man remembered Chang Jichun.
Ling Si waved to Chang Jichun, "Who, what did you say you're called?"
"The lower official Chang Jichun." Chang Jichun covered the corners of his twitching mouth, hurriedly stood up, and after reporting his name, he respectfully repeated the previous accusation.
Ling Si knocked on the table without hesitation, "Okay, let's not talk nonsense. The jadeite offered this year should be purchased. We will set off in three days."
"This...this..."
When Chang Jichun heard this, he couldn't help but stumble and said, "If you go back to the general, the jade that you offer this year has not been prepared yet."
Ling Si narrowed his eyes and his voice sank, "I haven't prepared yet? I'm not here early. At this time of year, it's time for the green to come out, but you are not ready. Tell me, what's the problem?"
Chang Jichun felt that Mount Tai was pressing down on the top of the head in an instant, and his waist became more and more bent. He said earnestly, "When you come back to General Ling, according to the above requirements, Caishi Town will supply a top-grade jade every year. The jade must include the best jade. However, the jade produced in the entire mining area this year is quite high-quality, and the best jade is phoenix and horns, especially the best imperial green that is necessary every year, and we have not picked a piece. We still have three places now, so we can try it. Chang Jichun dared to ask the general to be graceful for a period of time, not too long, ten days... ten days will be available! The officials will do their best to pick the best jade, and live up to the expectations of the court!"
Although he was passionate, he felt a lot of trouble in his heart. General Ling led his troops and had just returned from the border, so he was naturally in a hurry to return to Beijing. But he asked him to delay for several more days. No one would have thought he would be very happy, let alone this master!
Chang Jichun gritted his teeth. He was ready to withstand the storm. No matter what, even if he had to fight for half his life, he would still have to fight for the mining area more time today!
Just as Chang Jichun was doing enough psychological construction and preparing to die bravely, Ling Si's voice slowly came, "Is ten days enough? Let's do it, I'll give you half a month, take it slowly, don't worry."
Chang Jichun was stunned and then looked up in disbelief.
He never thought he would hear such an answer!
Who said General Ling was hard to speak? This is clearly a slander!
Chang Jichun was grateful and bent over again and again, "Thank you General Ling! Thank you General Ling!"
Speaking of which, Ling Si was too lazy to go back to Beijing. If he could stay for a few more days now, he would naturally go with the flow and there was nothing to object to. As for whether the superiors were satisfied, they would do whatever they wanted.
Faced with Chang Jichun's thanks, Ling Si waved his hand impatiently, "Let's go if you have nothing to do, arrange someone for us. I'll go out for a walk later."
Chang Jichun hurried forward to the trail, and his face turned into a bitter gourd, "Since General Ling is interested, why not go to the mining area with Xiaguan. There are two places in the mining area, and the scenery is pretty good. If the general is interested, he can also pick up a few pieces of stone, which is also a pleasure."
Upon hearing this, Ling Si immediately turned his head to look at Yan Shu, changed his impatientness just now, and grinned, "Boy Yan, how about you? Do you want to go and have a look?"
Yan Shu was quite interested in the terrain of this era. When she heard this, she couldn't help but nodded, "Natural."
When Ling Si heard that his doctor Yan wanted to go, he immediately became interested and stood up and said, "Then let's go and lead the way."
Chang Yuchun: “…yes, yes.”

Huanhuan Theater:
Chang Jichun: Xiaguan always thinks that General Ling is a bit similar to his cousin of the deputy mayor.
Stupid author: Could that man is also an enemy of thousands of people, with his own aura, and he is the dragon among people?
Chang Jichun: That person is afraid of his wife. He is famous in our entire Caishi Town. He talks about his wife every day and is a wife slave.
Stupid author:...
OK, you're the truth!
