Xu Wanyi rarely took action directly in front of outsiders, but ordered Zhang Peng to immediately follow her to deal with important matters.
"What is it that requires me to take action personally? Now we in Beiting City only need to run step by step. Could it be that there was an accident somewhere?" Zhang Peng sighed while riding on his horse.
"You still have the nerve to say that? All the soldiers and civilians in the whole North Courtyard are busy running around, but you are the only one who is lazy and hiding. My father and mother are so busy that they only sleep for two hours every day. Do you think you are honest?" Xu Wanyiyue said. The angrier you get, the uglier your face will be.
"Although I am busy, it is not a difficult task. It has only been a few days. Taking advantage of this opportunity to expand Beiting City is the joint effort of father and mother. It has nothing to do with me! I have also asked if I want to do it before. He asked for help, but my mother said no on the spot and let me rest. Tell me, can I disobey his orders?"
"Hey, hey, have you not seen me for a few days and are you beginning to miss your husband?"
Xu Wanyi's eyes narrowed into slits, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. This was a sign that she was about to explode: "Do you think this is the only thing? Are you still concerned about the affairs of Beiting University? Is the Kunling Protectorate plan still going on? Already?"
Zhang Peng shrugged: "Isn't Beiting University developing in an orderly manner now? With Mr. Kaishi and Grandpa Qin in charge, what trouble can happen? As for the construction of the Kunling Protectorate, Wanyi, the premise is that you have to put your The Luan Ming Army is starting to fight!"
"Humph, it's all our business and has nothing to do with you, right?" Xu Wanyi's patience has reached its limit.
Zhang Peng saw Xu Wanyi's faintly revealing sharp energy and knew that she might really go berserk if he kept talking, so he quickly explained: "Don't be angry, Wanyi, I am doing this all for the sake of the future of Beiting City." , I’m just letting things go during this period, which doesn’t mean I’ll be the boss in the future. You have to know that Beiting City’s rapid development in the past six months has been driven by me almost alone, right?”
Xu Wanyi rolled her eyes angrily: "Yes, that's right. You pushed it all by yourself, and no one will take the credit for it."
Zhang Peng saw that Xu Wanyi's mood had eased, and then he continued slowly: "But I am not omnipotent, and I cannot be used as a hundred people! The donkeys of the production team cannot be used in this way! So, let's Beiting City has entered a period of rapid development, and more people need to step forward and take on the responsibility of development! This winter is the best time!"
Having said this, Zhang Peng pointed to the three young men not far behind him: "The sharp edge of the sword is sharpened, let them seize the time to grow up, and in the future we in Beiting City will be able to move forward steadily! The imperial court suffered a big loss. It will never be possible to send us talents again in the future, and it will take at least two years for Beiting University to produce results, so we must cultivate talents with growth potential around us in a limited time!"
Xu Wanyi also looked back at the three brothers behind her, and then frowned slightly: "Will it be counterproductive?"
"People's potential is endless, let alone those whom I, Zhang Peng, admire," Zhang Peng smiled.
Xu Wanyi nodded and her tone became much more relaxed: "However, if you want to continue to be lazy today, I'm afraid it won't work. A very troublesome matter must be solved by you."
"What's going on?" Zhang Peng asked in confusion.
"Master, I don't know where he got a big box of transparent crystals from. He said that you needed it. Then he asked me to find you and said that you should implement the things you promised him as soon as possible, and at least tell him the progress of the development of the matter.
What."
Hearing this, Zhang Peng's mouth twisted and he curled his lips and said, "Haha, the old man just muddles along with everything else and is confused, but he remembers this matter clearly."
"What is so mysterious about it? Master told me that if you don't come, he will personally take you back!" Xu Wanyi warned.
"Well, we really have to start working on this matter. It seems that if this matter is done well, it might also become a major source of income for Beiting!"
"What happened? Why did you have a bad smile on your face when you said this?"
"Smiling? How is that possible! How could a decent man like your husband and me smile evilly? You must have seen it wrong just now... Hey, why don't you go to the city? Where are you going?"
"Master, his old man is patrolling Madan. We have to go over and help him build a house."
"Patrol the beach? Build a house?" Zhang Peng's eyes gradually opened wide, revealing clear and confused eyes...
Xunmatan is a valley in the west of Beiting City. The climate in the valley is unique and it is humid and warm all year round. Even the heavy snow disaster in Beiting did not have any impact on the valley.
The tributaries of Canyang River and Suiye River meet here, with abundant water and soil, and a large area of grassland that is fertile all year round. It is the most important migration place for wild horses every year.
At this moment, Yuan Gongyuan was shirtless, and his majestic body had not declined with age, but was getting stronger with age. With a smile on his face at this moment, he was carrying a freshly cut poplar tree with one hand, relaxed and casual.
He is going to settle down in Xunmatan and cut down trees to build a house.
The reason why he abandoned the comfortable courtyard of the princess's mansion was simply because his most beloved woman didn't like living in the city.
At this moment, the woman he loved most was sitting under a huge poplar tree, weaving a fishing net.
Time has not left any trace on Baili Yunxi's face. Her strong martial arts skills make the ice beauty who is over fifty still look like she is in her early thirties.
Yuan Gongyuan put down the giant trees, stacked them up, and then rubbed the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. Recalling the madness last night, he also sighed. Unexpectedly, after more than twenty years of abstinence, he still could not resist the beauty's ecstasy.
"Baili Yunxi, a legendary woman with superb martial arts skills. She acts based on her own likes and dislikes. When she was traveling in the world when she was young, she met the high-spirited Northwest Madman. After experiencing life and death together several times, she fell in love with him."
In front of the river valley at Xuntan, Xu Wanyi patiently told Zhang Peng the story of Baili Yunxi and Yuan Gongyuan.
"Then why did Baili Yunxi chase the master that day?" Zhang Peng recalled the scene at the investment conference that day, and then asked doubtfully, "It can't be that love cannot be obtained, and love can cause hatred, right?"
Xu Wanyi nodded: "Exactly! The master and his wife were engaged when they were young, so they could only reject Baili Yunxi's love. Baili Yunxi was a proud person, and left the master after leaving his blessing.
"
"But my wife, who had been with my master for ten years, suddenly passed away. After experiencing life and death, my master also broke down in martial arts and became a grand master in the Qi Return Realm!"
"When Baili Yunxi learned that his wife was dead, he once again expressed his wish to be with the master, but the master did not agree. After so many years, she has never given up. You said that she hates because of love, but that's not the case.
Wrong, if someone has been unable to love someone for so many years, anyone will get angry. Now, look, under the poplar tree over there is Baili Yunxi."
Zhang Peng looked from a distance and saw Yuan Gongyuan and Baili Yunxi busy building their home. They were passionate and simple, and the years were quiet.
"After decades, the two of us have finally achieved enlightenment," Zhang Peng said to himself thoughtfully, looking at Yuan Gongyuan, his eyes no longer playful, "I will work hard to bring my junior brother to this world as soon as possible.
