Chapter 214: Planting Seeds

"Go and prepare a thousand fine feather arrows, quietly, don't let people find out that they are what I want."

Zhou An's words surprised the guards.

A thousand feathered arrows?

That's not a small amount.

If you find so many feather arrows in a short period of time and can't leave traces, you can only use the connections of the Jin Palace's mansion to meet the requirements of the Hou Ye.

And the range of the best feather arrows is one hundred and fifty steps away, could it be that the little marquis does not plan to let those killers who are good at assassination fight in close combat, but a long-range sneak attack?

"The last time Ye Changlong was in ambush in Liujiazhuang, I found that the Ning family was strong in martial arts, and those wounded soldiers were more agile than I imagined, plus the lanterns that could go to the sky, once Ning Wuxian's people saw that there was a killer ambush, they would definitely resist and report to others."

Zhou An didn't plan to hide his plan from his henchmen and guards.

Opposite.

Sometimes he also has to explain the plan thoroughly, so that his subordinates do not understand the key points and cause the plan to fail.

"So this assassination must be raided from a distance."

"As long as Ning Wuxian and them enter the range, they don't have to say hello, they don't have to play tricks, everyone shoots arrows together, whether they live or die, if there are companions, they can only blame those people for their bad lives, and they are too close to Ning Wuxian."

In fact, Zhou An originally planned to capture Ning Wuxian and tease him again.

It's like a cat playing with a mouse.

But now that the situation is pressing, he can only give up this idea.

Just right.

It would be good if Ning Wuxian felt that he was a gentleman who was for fun and disregarded reality.

"The art of war is cloudy, between the virtual and the real, the siege is the next and the heart is the top, Ning is safe, I have done enough killing moves this time, I don't believe you will be killed on the spot!"

"Please rest assured, Master Hou, my subordinates will get these thousand arrows before tomorrow night."

The guards saw that the little marquis had arranged everything, and their confidence doubled.

Having foreseen victory in sight, after the little marquis killed Ning Wuxian and got rid of the county lord Xian, he grabbed the perfume shop and the ice workshop, adding another big boost to the Jin Palace.

……

The day passed on the Begging Festival.

The lanterns that flew into the sky that night are still the primary topic of conversation for people in Jinling City after tea and dinner.

Although the begging festival has passed, the girls who have not been able to release the lanterns into the sky, or the relatives who can't be hit by climbing the eighteen poles, find Zhangjiazhuang with heavy gifts, and chat about the family life for an hour after eating a bowl of ice drink.

Finally, wait in line to receive the Kongming lanterns hand-pasted by the villagers.

Later, because there were too many distant relatives, I couldn't tell who was who, and the gifts were too expensive to return the gift.

Ning Wuxiao simply built a small workshop on the wasteland of the two villages where the wounded soldiers were housed, and specially invited villagers to make Kong Ming lanterns.

The cost of Kong Ming lantern is more expensive than the wire.

In order to take the road of small profits and quick turnover, so that more villagers can make money, each Kong Ming lantern only earns ten cents in addition to the cost.

As soon as the news came out, the people who queued up to buy Kong Ming lanterns could go around the two villages for more than ten circles.

When Anuye escorted several large carts back, and when he saw the blocked village road in front of him, he stood directly on the board and looked at the road ahead, and asked the Ning family servant lying behind: "Brother Dong Solstice, are we going the wrong way?" ”

At the time of leaving, there were indeed many immigrants in this area because of the placement of wounded soldiers.

However, it is secluded, and many villagers have gone to work in the Ningjia workshop, except for people working in the farmland, there are basically no idlers on the road.

But the people in front of me, who were idle, catching fish and birds, seemed to be out of place with the busy local villagers.

"That's right, it's the way."

The little guy of the Ning family guessed very calmly.

"It may be that my fifth son has created something new, which has attracted these people to rush to buy it."

No matter how novel it is, it can't do without money...... Wrong.

Anuye thought of a bottle of perfume for five hundred yuan, and he even squeezed his head to buy a bottle, thinking that he couldn't infer that Ning Wuxian was related to it with common sense.

Because Ning Wuxian, he is not an ordinary person himself.

I was wondering if I should let the driver take a detour.

The little servant of the Ning family couldn't wait, took off the small hat on his head, and shouted into the crowd.

"Fathers and fellow villagers in front, please let me go, I am the little servant of the Ning family, and the car is pulling the flower and plant seeds that the fifth prince urgently needs, can you let me go first?"

The people at the back turned their heads viciously.

They had met someone before, pretending to be the Ning family who had mixed into the queue and cut in line.

At this time, when they heard the words of the Ning family's little servant, they were all angry, and they wanted to drag the person who spoke over and beat them violently to relieve their irritability when they were about to catch fire due to the scorching sun.

Anouye was startled when he saw the eyes of the people breathing fire.

I was about to push the little guy behind him back and let him lie down and sleep.

The people who were still fierce just now finally saw the word "Ning" embroidered on the hat waved in the hands of the Ning family's little servant, and their complexions changed in an instant.

The originally terrifying eyes became kind.

This made Anuye, who had been to the land of Bashu, suddenly watch a face-changing drama.

"It's really the little guy of the Ning family, I saw him on the Zhang family's Zhuangzi."

"We can't delay the Ning family's business, get out of the way and make a way for these carts."

The crowd that was originally crowded immediately vacated a wide avenue.

Anuye was even more shocked when he saw this scene than when he saw people change their faces.

He remembered that Ning Wuxian had only been in Zhangjiazhuang for more than a month, and the Ning family had only made a fortune for two or three months.

But now in Jinling, whether it is in the city or in the fields, from the dignitaries to the peddlers and pawns, they all give great respect to the Ning family, even if it is a small house.

It always made him feel that something was wrong.

Although what the Ning family does is indeed authentic, with such a big influence, it always seems that someone is deliberately plotting behind it.

"Anuye, hold on to the handlebars, it's going uphill ahead."

At this moment, a reminder from the coachman pulled Anuye's thoughts back.

Whatever.

Anuye didn't think again about whether someone was deliberately expanding the influence of the Ning family.

Not far away is Zhang's Zhuangzi.

He also waited for the flower and plant seeds to be delivered, settled the money to the merchant, and invited the merit to receive the reward.

Zhuangzili.

Ning Wuxian was still honing his archery skills.

It's just that the practice object has changed from Ning Wujian to those little wolf dogs who don't look very bright.

Trying to scare them with their tails between their tails is done.

It's a pity that after practicing for two days, I couldn't practice the domineering arrow qi, and the arrow target couldn't shoot the red heart, but it only improved some hit rates.

On the contrary, in the face of Ning Wuji's arrow qi, he was accustomed to it, and he was able to resist the pressure and escape.

"It seems that my own specialty is only anti-beating."

It was a shame to say, but he humbly accepted the fact.

"Anuye should be back today, and if nothing else, he should be back before lunch."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horses neighing sounded outside.

Ning Wuxian suddenly perked up.

It's really what to say.

He called Arati and personally greeted him at the door, and sure enough, Anuye had returned with six carts loaded with 1,200 catties of tobacco seeds.

"Childe, fortunately not disgraced."

"Well done, go to the yard I have set up for you to rest, and I'll let the kitchen bring lunch."

"Two bowls of ice drinks, there are no cheap ice drinks sold in Wuhu."

"Okay, you can eat with your belly open, and diarrhea is your own."

After the acceptance of the seeds, the money was given.

Ning Wuxian asked the guy who came to deliver the goods again if there was still stock.

When he learned that all the existing stocks had been brought by Anuyela, and the next batch of ships that had gone to sea for two months at the earliest, he gave his partner half a tael of silver as tea and water, sent the convoy away, and after a brief lunch, he took the dried tobacco and went straight to the garrison where Jiang Yan was currently located.
