592 Whatever the Explanation
Did the old Emperor think his move was particularly brilliant right now? He could not only divide his second brother’s power but also force him to help.
Many other countries had more than two teams on Huayan Peak.
Daqing Kingdom was a large country, so it was only natural to have two teams on Huayan Peak. Qian Jiyun could not reject the request and had to do his best to help the team the Emperor sent.
“But aren’t there people among them sent by the old Emperor?” he asked again.
The old Emperor was astute. How could he have allowed them to mock him like this? He most certainly had other tricks up his sleeve. Otherwise, he would not have trusted the son of the Minister of War with such a significant matter.
“Also, who will replace Third Brother in the imperial court?” he asked again.
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
Qian Jiyun did not answer him. Those were trivial matters. Someone would naturally make arrangements for them.
Most importantly, they had to make preparations here. Otherwise, accommodating so many people would be challenging.
Third Brother Fu was bringing along a group of people with low Original Soul energy. It was impossible to expect them to bring too many items to Huayan Peak. They could only bring necessities. The camp had to be prepared. They could not rely on them for food and drinks.
Gong Cheng shrank back and did not ask further.
“Oh, oh, I’ll clear that piece of land then. It should be quick.”
He should prepare the land per his second brother’s instructions. He should not worry about anything else because they would not tell him even if he asked.
…
They cleared the land quickly. It was even easier for people with Original Soul energy.
However, there were other things to do besides getting rid of the trees.
“Second Brother, let me ask you… Wow, Second Brother, what are you doing?”
He had just entered the tent and had yet to ask anything when he saw the spread of delicious food. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
“This, this, this… Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law, you’re too much. There are so many dishes, but you didn’t even ask me to eat with you. Can you finish everything?”
He did not smell any aroma when he was outside. His brother had obviously tampered with the tent to prevent the aroma from leaking.
Of course, he knew he could not divulge it. An Jiuyue must have done this with her own resources.
He knew someone had claimed he hunted the wild boar last night. But how many people in the camp would believe him?
It was just that no one cared as long as they had food. Whatever the explanation, they accepted it.
Everyone understood the simple logic that capable people could eat good food, but the incapable had to eat dirt.
Qian Jiyun did not expect this rascal to enter his tent directly. He immediately asked with a dark expression, “What are you doing here?”
“What am I doing here? I’m not doing anything.”
Gong Cheng had completely forgotten why he had come to look for his second brother when he saw all the delicious food.
Food comes first. Why care about what I’m doing? I’m really not used to the food here anyway. I’ll let others eat that while I eat some good food.
