"Brother, you just said that you found someone who knows the whereabouts of His Royal Highness? Where is he? Let me see him quickly!"
As soon as the woman came closer, she immediately took Scholar Hua's hand and spoke to Scholar Hua eagerly.
"Well, isn't this the person I was talking about!"
Scholar Hua smiled and pursed his lips at Zhou Peirong who was standing beside him.
"Do you know the whereabouts of His Royal Highness?"
Upon hearing this, the woman immediately turned around and stared at Zhou Peirong with burning eyes.
"You have misunderstood!"
Zhou Peirong waved his hand and explained quickly.
"I just met your Highness, but I don't know his whereabouts!"
"this……"
There was obvious disappointment on the woman's face, and then she looked at Scholar Hua reproachfully.
"Brother, how could you lie to me!"
"At the very least, we can know the news about His Highness the Crown Prince and determine whether His Highness the Crown Prince is safe!"
Scholar Hua did not explain. Instead, he whispered to the woman with a doting look on his face.
Without waiting for the woman to say anything else, Scholar Hua nodded to Zhou Peirong.
"Boss Zhou, take out the jade pendant His Royal Highness gave you and let my sister see it!"
"good!"
Zhou Peirong did not hesitate, but directly took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it directly to the woman.
"This thing can be considered a hot potato. Since you are related to that person, I'd better leave this thing to you for safekeeping."
"No, no, no, I just want to confirm and see if what my brother said is true!"
The woman held the jade pendant, rubbed it lovingly, and then handed it back to Zhou Peirong.
"Since His Highness gave you this thing, then you should keep it."
"In the future, if His Highness's case can be brought to justice, maybe this thing can bring you an opportunity."
"If so, then I won't be polite!"
Zhou Peirong did not refuse anymore, but directly put the jade pendant away, but did not wear it around his waist again.
The woman did not rush Zhou Peirong.
After he finished sorting it out, he cautiously asked Zhou Peirong again: "Now, can you tell me how you met His Highness?"
"That's right!"
Zhou Peirong briefly and concisely introduced the process of his encounter with the anti-Prince.
"That's probably what happened! As for where your Highness went, I don't know."
"I see!"
The woman nodded in understanding, and then bowed respectfully to Zhou Peirong.
"My little girl is as beautiful as the moon. Thank you very much, Sir, for saving His Highness' life."
"From now on, if the young master has an assignment, Hua Ruyue will definitely do his best!"
"It's just a matter of effort, Miss Hua, don't take it to heart!"
Zhou Peirong quickly waved his hand again, declining Hua Ruyue's thanks.
It’s not that Zhou Peirong doesn’t appreciate others’ gratitude.
In fact, he really needs the help of a big shot like Hua Ruyue.
It can be said that it is anyone's dream to have such a big man owe a favor.
But the problem is that Hua Ruyue is the fiancée of the rebel prince, and she is also a person registered in the Yan Dynasty.
The consequences of getting involved with such a person...
Haha, Zhou Peirong said, I still have a bright future, but I haven’t lived enough yet.
So whenever possible, he would never get too close to these people.
As for Hua Shusheng's surrender, Zhou Peirong actually had plans for it.
Scholar Hua and others are not suitable for public appearances, that’s okay!
Under his hands, there are many jobs that do not require publicity.
It is just right to leave these tasks to Hua Shusheng and others!
After chatting with Hua Shusheng brother and sister for a while, Zhou Peirong felt relieved about them for the time being.
True.
In any era, there will always be actors with superb acting skills.
And being defensive is a basic quality that everyone must possess.
But any time a person's true feelings are revealed, it cannot be explained through acting.
Zhou Peirong admitted that Scholar Hua was definitely a very sophisticated guy, but Hua Ruyue was not.
She is as beautiful as the moon. Even if she is as tall as the sky, she is just an extremely intelligent lady. There is still a long way to go before she becomes a fox.
After taking them under his command, Zhou Peirong didn't have much to worry about.
And just in case, Zhou Peirong has decided to take Scholar Hua with him and let him be his adviser.
As for flowers like the moon...
Zhou Peirong planned to let her become a teacher and teach Li Yulian something.
In the future, Li Yulian will join him and move to a higher position step by step.
Her basic quality must be improved.
Zhou Peirong could teach Li Yulian about reading and literacy, as well as some advanced ideas and thinking patterns.
But Zhou Peirong couldn't teach etiquette and posture.
Although Zhou Peirong did not dislike Li Yulian, he did not want that at some point in the future, Li Yulian would be ridiculed by some talkative women because of trivial matters such as etiquette and gestures.
However, these arrangements cannot be implemented until he leaves this mountain range.
At the moment, what Zhou Peirong urgently needs to solve is the three groups of bandits and the problem of finding cotton.
Now, Zhou Peirong has enough manpower.
Finding cotton is just a matter of time.
After studying the map, Zhou Peirong finally divided his men into four groups.
Among them, he and Zhou Ping took the villagers from Xifeng Town and continued to explore into the mountains.
Our original team must not be dispersed.
If his original troops were scattered and some unexpected situation finally happened, Zhou Peirong would not be able to explain it to the villagers.
The remaining three groups were broken up and reorganized by Liu Scarface and other three groups of bandits.
Liu Scarface and Chen Feilong were left in Hua Shusheng's camp to look after the house.
With everything ready, the four teams set off separately to search for the cotton Zhou Peirong needed.
Of course!
In addition to cotton, Zhou Peirong also prepared illustrations of other available plants and handed them to the leaders of the other three groups.
Before the three teams set off, Zhou Peirong did not forget to do some mobilization.
"Go find it to your heart's content!"
"The more things you find, the more rewards I will give you."
"In a word! Follow me and I will never treat you badly!"
After listening to Zhou Peirong's words, everyone in the three teams felt as if they had been given a shot of blood and screamed with excitement.
Looking at the performance of these people, Zhou Peirong instinctively felt that his trip would be successful and fruitful!
"I, Zhou Peirong, will definitely have a bright future!"
With this thought, Zhou Peirong's mood gradually rose.
So much so that the pace of his feet unconsciously sped up a bit.
