Chapter 462 The System is Relieved
The two pages of letter paper were filled with dense writing, and Fang Er read them all aloud without missing a single word.
Finally, he took out the stack of silver notes from the envelope, and the three brothers' eyes were all a little red.
"We thought Grandpa was just teasing us and had abandoned us, boohoo, but we never expected this..."
Wei Yi was sobbing. Several days after Wen Luozhi left, he thought, "Where in the world can you find such a good thing? Where can you find such a kind person?"
He had mentioned being beaten up by Fang Da and Fang Er, howling in pain, but now it's all good; there really are good people like their grandpa in this world.
This is the Southern Wilderness, and their lord has descended upon us like a savior.
Fang Er stepped outside and shouted at him and Fang Da, "What are you all standing there for? Let's hurry up and call the two town mayors to organize people to collect the remaining peppercorns!"
"I'm waiting to use it."
Upon learning that Wen Luozhi had replied and seeing the people who came to transport the goods, the townspeople seemed reassured, though they still felt a little unreal even after receiving the silver.
They dared not imagine that one day their crops could reach beyond the southern wilderness, and they dared not believe that anyone would be willing to rescue them, these poor people rooted in this barren land.
The convoy slowly set off, carrying not only Sichuan peppercorns but also food prepared by the townspeople for the convoy members, and of course, their heartfelt wishes for Wen Luozhi.
When Miao Qian returned, he encountered the convoy on the road, and his heart finally settled down.
Thankfully, it wasn't a false alarm.
Upon arriving in the desolate town, he instructed the townspeople to wrap the roots of the pepper seedlings they had left in their fields with soil, and that he would have them delivered to the other two towns in a couple of days.
In a corner unnoticed by anyone, a tiny pepper seed sprouted from the soil, bringing hope to the townspeople.
The restaurant's business was booming, and it had already established itself in the capital in less than two months. It was simply impossible for Wen Luozhi to take a break.
Hot pot has been a staple at the restaurant since it opened. Because it's open all night, it's extremely popular, and there are very few private rooms available on the second floor even late at night.
Finally able to lie down, Wen Luozhi collapsed onto the bed, wishing she could retire on the spot.
The system has started to stagnate; there have been very few missions since we returned from the Southern Wilderness, and those that exist are of low difficulty.
Strangely, her points kept increasing, which puzzled her.
She sat up in bed and asked, "Why are my points still increasing even though I don't have any missions? Is there some kind of glitch in your leveling system?"
The system's voice was no longer filled with disappointment; instead, when speaking to its host, Wen Luozhi, it carried a hint of pride and satisfaction.
[Because you opened up other planting areas in the Southern Wilderness, this is an automatic points reward from the main system~ You're awesome, host! This system is definitely benefiting from following you.]
As it spoke, it opened a screen, and Wen Luozhi was shocked by what she saw.
On the way to the Southern Wilderness, the several towns were connected by a line. She remembered that when she went there before, the towns were all on their own and could not be connected at all. What happened?
The system automatically answered her questions, leaving Wen Luozhi stunned and filled with emotion.
It turned out that in order to transport the peppercorns out, Miao Qian, the town official, took it upon himself to have the townspeople from several towns clear a smooth road.
Not only that, but they also told the residents of the other two towns to plant Sichuan pepper as well, for fear that a tragedy like the mass relocation of Linxun Town would happen again.
She looked at the line connecting the several towns and realized it was green; it was made of Sichuan pepper trees.
The peppercorns arrived the next day, which solved the restaurant's urgent problem.
After several more days of busy work, Wen Muchuan couldn't bear to watch any longer and took her out for a stroll to relax.
Outside, everyone was discussing the battle situation in the north, and Wen Luozhi listened intently.
To her surprise, the Northern Barbarians were able to hold out for so long, and that frivolous Chiduotu who had been so arrogant when he first met her seemed very difficult to kill.
However, she didn't have time to think about these things. As long as Wen Zixun and Helian Yue were safe and sound, that was all that mattered.
What she didn't expect was that the Northern Barbarians were already at their last gasp, and at this moment, Chiduotu was still thinking of begging Mo Xiao to lend him several thousand soldiers.
"Damn Mo Xiao! He's infuriating!"
Chiduotu was furious when he received Mo Xiao's reply. He couldn't understand why the other party still refused, even though he had been so humble.
There were also the cunning and lucky people of Dajing, who were so resilient that even the plague couldn't bring them down.
"Report!"
A barbarian soldier rushed in and said, "Bolie, a few of our men are acting strangely!"
The soldier's voice trembled slightly; his intuition told him that the symptom was the plague.
Chidotu was annoyed and told him to speak quickly. After hearing what he said, a hint of panic flashed across his face.
How could that be! They all took the miracle drug! How could they have contracted the plague?
He went to check, but when he got to the tent, the army doctor wouldn't let him get close no matter what he said, and that's when he really panicked.
"Medicine! Give them the miracle drug! They'll be fine."
He gripped the medic's arm tightly, his eyes red, whether from anxiety or fear, it was hard to tell.
He didn't dare close his eyes all night, and the next day a large number of soldiers collapsed.
"Where's the miracle drug?! The miracle drug!" he screamed frantically, unable to believe that this thing was useless against the epidemic.
Was he going to ask Da Jing for medicine? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
He stubbornly gritted his teeth and persevered, but after several battles, he was left all alone.
The army doctor, trembling, ran in and, mustering his courage, pleaded with him: "Bolie, we have no other choice. Why don't we surrender to Dajing?"
"The soldiers can't hold on much longer, please save them..."
"Shh!"
Before the army doctor could finish speaking, Chiduotu had already raised his knife, and with one slash, blood splattered onto the tent.
"Pass down the order: launch a full-scale attack!"
Chiduotu shouted and led all his men to the city gate that very day. He ordered even the sick to be taken along, determined to fight to the death even if they were defeated.
Helian Yue had already set up his formation and was waiting for him, but seeing those sickly northern barbarians who could barely stand, he felt sorry for them.
"That Chiduotu is a real scoundrel, how could he do something like this!"
Gu Yunqi, who was standing nearby, had already started cursing. Chiduotu did this simply to get more people on their side infected with the plague, but unfortunately, he couldn't get his wish.
"Haha, you've finally shown yourself! Even if I, Chiduotu, die in battle today, it will be worth it!"
He looked at Helian Yue on the city wall; this was the first time he had seen the true face of this great war god.
Helian Yue looked at him as if he were looking at a dead man. Because of the plague, the soldiers of Dajing had not died on the battlefield, but were tormented by the disease and their bones were left behind.
Died in battle? That would be too easy for Chidotu.
The two sides fought for only an hour this time, and Chiduotu looked at the god-like figure still standing on the high wall.
He didn't understand why he was injured just by this person raising his hand slightly, even though they were so far apart.
Ironically, he hasn't even killed a single person from Dajing yet.
Chiduotu knelt before the city walls, dying with his eyes wide open. The remaining northern barbarians, seeing that he was dead, could no longer struggle.
"It's over," Jingyue said, sounding relieved as if a heavy burden had suddenly been lifted from his shoulders.
Just as everyone was cheering, an untimely voice rang out, and then a large group of people surrounded Helian Yue and his companions.
"Helian Yue, oh Helian Yue, you've been hiding your true intentions quite well."
Qin Yu led his men forward, and upon seeing Helian Yue, immediately brandished his token: "His Majesty has ordered the immediate arrest of Helian Yue. Anyone who disobeys will be punished..."
He looked at Jing Yue and his voice suddenly rose, "Kill without mercy!"
