Chapter 322 Acting
However, Chu Ci's attention was attracted by a small but anxious voice.
She quickly shouted, "Yes, all of them. But everyone must line up in order, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."
The power of money is indeed strong. As soon as Chu Ci finished speaking, everyone present lined up neatly one by one as if they had heard a unified command in the blink of an eye.
The action was so swift that it was as if it were performed by magic.
Even Chu Ci, who was well-informed, couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
She stared at the scene with wide eyes in disbelief, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
Chu Ci said loudly again: "Which boss just said there is fresh beef and mutton? Come over here."
Her voice was clear and loud, like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley, spreading clearly through the noisy crowd and reaching everyone's ears.
As Chu Ci's voice fell, everyone enthusiastically helped to search for the boss who provided the beef and mutton.
The boss who claimed to have beef and mutton suddenly changed his expression and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
He subconsciously wanted to turn around and escape, but found that the crowd around him was already surrounding him and heading towards Chu Ci.
At this point, he could only pretend to be calm, forcing a flattering smile on his face, and said, "Madam, I do have beef and mutton, but the quantity is not much. I wonder how much Madam would like?"
Seeing this, Chu Ci gently tugged at the sleeve of Fan Jingrui beside him.
Fan Jingrui immediately understood Chu Ci's meaning and nodded slightly.
Just when he was about to remind Chu Ci not to alert the enemy, Chu Ci said proudly: "I'll take whatever you have. How about it, when can you send it to me?"
"Ah?" The boss was just talking nonsense just to follow the crowd. He didn't have any beef or mutton in his hands.
So he pretended to be surprised and widened his eyes and asked, "How much do you want? What does your family do to consume so much beef and mutton?"
As he spoke, he quickly gestured for help to his companions not far away.
Seeing this, Chu Ci did not stop them. Instead, he deliberately raised his voice and said loudly, "I believe everyone has the same question, right?"
"I might as well tell you that I did this to express my condolences to the soldiers who fought bravely on the front lines to resist the Tatars."
"So, what's the point of what you have?"
"Princess, are you the princess?" The boss, who had been racking his brains to figure out how to get out of this situation, was startled when he heard this.
His mind instantly became active: If he could enter the Great Zhou military camp through this...
Or take the opportunity to gain the trust of the princess in front of him, establish a long-term cooperative relationship with her, and then through her network of relationships, will he be able to go deeper into the Great Zhou?
If the plan succeeds, the Tatar army will be able to use the endless stream of intelligence to gain the upper hand on the battlefield.
By then, I will be able to rise rapidly in Tatar and enjoy all the glory and wealth.
Chu Ci had no idea that in just a short while, the mind of the problematic boss in front of him had already turned like a wild horse out of control, frantically focusing on a lot of crucial information about the Great Zhou, and had even set his evil intentions on the Great Zhou royal family again.
He had a plan in mind, imagining how he could use this opportunity to obtain secrets, thereby making great contributions and gaining endless wealth and glory.
Chu Ci, who was still doing her best to play the role of a wealthy and somewhat willful princess, immediately frowned, a hint of coldness flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she said sternly: "Boss, you are overstepping the line."
"Or do you mean you don't have any beef or mutton at all? Humph, tell me the truth, who are you?"
As soon as Chu Ci finished speaking, Fan Jingrui cooperated very well and drew out the long sword from his waist. With a flash of cold light, the sharp blade instantly pressed against the man's neck.
Fan Jingrui frowned, his eyes were as cold as ice, and he said in a deep voice: "Speak! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The fierce aura he exuded made everyone around him shiver.
"No, no, no, no, even if I had the courage of heaven, I would not dare to deceive the princess!" The man seemed to be so frightened that his voice changed and his legs kept shaking.
However, such a person who was almost frightened dared to yell at his companions.
"Qiu Er, hurry up and go to the yard we rented and bring the cattle and sheep we got from the countryside to the princess. Move quickly and don't delay. If we make mistakes, we will all be in trouble!"
The way Chu Ci shouted this sounded as if he was forcing someone to buy something.
Even though Fan Jingrui was well-educated, he couldn't control the sword in his hand and it cut a bloody mark on the boss' neck.
The boss felt a sharp pain in his neck and immediately seized the opportunity.
He cried out "Ouch!" and then twisted his features into an expression of extreme fear, and shouted in a trembling voice, "Sir, please spare me, sir, please spare me!"
"I am truly innocent. I have parents and children to support, and they all rely on me to run a small business to support their family. Sir, please be kind and forgive me this time!"
He was in tears and looked extremely miserable.
However, although he looked pitiful, anyone who dared to open a business in such a chaotic time of war must be a versatile person who can get along with everyone.
Obviously no one would be willing to do such a stupid thing as offending a real God of Wealth, a God of Wealth with a background, for the sake of a stranger!
So the surrounding merchants just watched silently.
Some even plucked up their courage, took a few steps forward, and shouted at the top of their voices: "Princess, since his cattle and sheep can't come over for a while, why don't you take ours first?"
Chu Ci didn't know who was calling out, but he saw that no one objected.
Seeing Ye Lin hurrying over not far away, he responded, "Okay, I'll take yours first."
After that, she even shouted in a hoarse voice: "General Ye, you came just in time. Come on! These are the benefits that this princess bought for everyone."
Sure enough, the person who was pretending to be timid just now immediately pretended to be extremely surprised. "General Ye, are you the General Ye who is so famous on the battlefield and terrified by the enemy?"
"I have heard of your great reputation for a long time. I am so lucky to meet you today!"
However, Ye Lin only glanced at him lightly, and then ignored him. He walked quickly towards Chu Ci, bowed solemnly and said: "Princess, I am here to wait for your orders."
Emma, it turns out that General Ye is also a talented actor!
It seems that a certain cattle and sheep owner can't escape at all.
Thinking of this, Chu Ci tried hard to suppress the upward curve of his mouth, and said calmly, "Why is General Ye always so polite? Come and see, if there is anything you need, just pick it up."
"The supplies purchased by this princess this time are quite abundant and will definitely meet everyone's needs."
