"Yeah." The people behind him also quickly replied. It was a joke, someone was giving them clothes and food, how could they miss it? Moreover, the people of the An clan were arrogant and despotic, the citizens couldn't bear to see such an opportunity anymore.

"Princess really does have some skill." Xueruun and Yuruun were lying on their stomach on top of the window. They looked outside and couldn't help but sigh when they saw Ann Yuan riding on the tiger.

"A scoundrel. What they're most afraid of is someone who's more shameless than they are." Xiao Leng slowly picked up his tea cup and took a sip. A trace of a smile flashed across his eyes as he lowered his eyelids to cover his surprise.

"Good for you, Gu Qiangwei. I've underestimated you." Ann Yuan gritted his teeth, glanced at the people who were getting excited and said with a frown.

"No, no, no. State Duke Qi doesn't need to be angry. Since State Duke Qi doesn't have the money, it doesn't matter. I, Gu Qiangwei, am not someone who would make things difficult for others." Gu Qiangwei rubbed her chin and glanced at Ann Yuan. Her temples were throbbing and her mouth hooked into a smile. "Little old man, you're out of luck for offending me."

"Hmph." When Ann Yuan heard this, he turned around and was about to leave. His eyes were filled with coldness and disdain.

Gu Qiangwei looked at Ann Yuan's back and leisurely said, "One thousand pieces of cloth and one thousand loads of food, that's enough."

"Gu Qiangwei, don't go too far. You're asking for too much." Ann Yuan stared angrily at Gu Qiangwei and frowned. His eyes were filled with coldness and his pair of small eyes widened. A trace of sinister aura flashed across his face that was covered in ravines.

"If they weren't able to bring her here in the future, the news of State Duke Qi slandering the Great General of the Qi State and the princess, and humiliating Mrs. Xuanhe while throwing dirty water on Madam, would spread throughout the entire Imperial City." Gu Qiangwei raised her head. Without even looking at Ann Yuan, a trace of a smile flashed across her eyes as she said while standing with her hands behind her back.

Didn't we discuss this with Ann Yuan? This is an order to Ann Yuan. If Ann Yuan can't do it, then Gu Qiangwei will not show mercy.

Hearing Ann Yuan's angry look, Gu Qiangwei didn't care about it at all. There were so many officials in the Imperial City who disliked Ann Yuan, and how they would impeach him once the news got out, all these were not within Gu Qiangwei's consideration.

Ann Yuan had never suffered such a huge loss in his life before. A thousand pieces of cloth and a thousand loads of food were enough for the whole An family for a year. Gu Qiangwei really knew how to talk and the words she said made Ann Yuan want to strangle her.

"County Head Yiping has thought it through very carefully. This old man will remember that." Ann Yuan gritted his teeth as he looked at Gu Qiangwei. A trace of a smile flashed across Gu Qiangwei's eyes. She didn't care at all. If today's situation didn't turn out well, then it would be even more impossible for her to grow up in the future.

"County Head Yiping, it's not Prime Minister Gu. It's impossible for State Duke Qi to use his trump card to deal with me." Gu Qiangwei took a step forward and whispered a few sentences into Ann Yuan's ear. A trace of a smile flashed across her eyes like a fox.

Ann Yuan turned his head and looked at Gu Qiangwei. That was County Head Yiping, not Prime Minister Gu. These words echoed in his mind. After a long while, Ann Yuan smiled and said, "Green wins against blue."

"I'll represent the commoners and thank State Duke Qi for the food and cloth." Gu Qiangwei clasped her hands at Ann Yuan, concealing the indifference in her eyes. Those who come out to mess around, always have to pay back. Wu Tie, people are looking at the sky, it's not like they haven't reported when the time is right.

"Thank you, State Duke Qi." When the commoners heard Gu Qiangwei's words, they immediately thanked State Duke Qi to express their gratitude.

"Hmph." Hearing that, Ann Yuan flung his sleeves, turned around and left as if he was fleeing for his life.

This was indeed quite a face-smacking. He majestically walked over and then dejectedly ran away.

Seeing Ann Yuan leave, Gu Qiangwei smiled, the two dimples on her cheeks looked especially pretty. She turned around and said to the common people, "Although there is food on the cloth, you must not relax. A woman who knows how to sew needs to make clothes for these cloths, and the men still need to plow them."

"We will never forget the princess' great kindness." A trace of gratitude flashed in the eyes of those commoners. If it weren't for Gu Qiangwei taking them in, they would still be on the streets, unable to eat or dress in peace. They didn't even have a safe haven.

Gu Qiangwei waved her hand after hearing these words. A trace of a smile flashed across her eyes as she said, "As long as you are safe and happy, then everything is better than anything else."

"This princess sure knows how to win over people's hearts." Yuruun rubbed her chin and looked back at Xiao Leng.

Yuruun and Xueruun were a pair of twins. The two of them looked like they were made out of paste. Xueruun had a mole on her forehead, which was the mark of the difference between the two of them.

Hearing that, Xiao Leng smiled, he straightened his clothes and stood up: "That's good too."

Yes, there are people who do things that are inconvenient for them to do. The people are water, the king is a boat, and water can carry a boat or overturn a boat.

The commoners did not care about who became the emperor. What they cared about was who could fill themselves with food and wear warm clothes. That person could then become the emperor.

"Madam." Gu Qiangwei ran in with a smile on her face. She smiled like a fox who had just stolen a chicken and said, "Didn't you say a few days ago that taking in so many people is not enough money? "How about now? There's enough food and clothes, and we can wait for the new food to come out."

"Yes." Hearing that, Xiao Leng looked at Gu Qiangwei blandly and walked out. A simple syllable came out of his nose.

"Is Madame still angry?" A trace of doubt flashed across Gu Qiangwei's eyes. She frowned as she looked at Xueruun.

"I don't know." Xueruun shook her head. They already had trouble controlling Xiao Leng's mood. Maybe he was going to kill them, or maybe it was because he was happy. Who knew that Xiao Leng was never a happy person.

Hearing this, Gu Qiangwei nodded her head and ran out. It was already late in the night, so it was time to go back.

Gu Qiangwei had indeed shocked Xiao Leng a little, but he had never praised anyone, let this person get carried away.

As expected, Ann Yuan was worried and soon brought the food over. Gu Qiangwei was overjoyed. She wanted nothing more than to hug these things and sleep. The whole room was filled to the brim.

"General Xuanhe, I heard that Mrs. Xuanhe has taken in many homeless people. How is it?" The emperor sat on a high seat, his eyes staring straight at Lee Mingzhi, his gaze full of scrutiny. Regarding what Xiao Leng had done, the emperor more or less had some doubts.

Lee Mingzhi took a step forward, bowed his head, and cupped his hands towards the emperor. A trace of respect flashed across his eyes as he said, "Going back to the emperor is originally not enough money, and it's very difficult to obtain the harvest of the crops. Fortunately, with State Duke Qi's help, the people were able to eat well."

The Emperor nodded. A trace of a smile flashed through his eyes as he said, "I didn't think that even An Aiqing loved her people so much."

"Your majesty is flattering me." Although the An family was rich, it was inevitable that their hearts would ache if so much was suddenly scraped away. Ann Yuan was so angry that his stomach would ache every time he thought of this matter, and now, he hated Gu Qiangwei to the point that his teeth would itch.

"Tomorrow, I will also send another five hundred loads of food to inform Madame to keep a few more homeless people so that I, the citizen of Qi State, can rely on." The emperor waved his hand and a trace of a smile flashed across his eyes. What a joke! A lady general had taken in a commoner, and State Duke Qi had donated so much.

"This subject thanks Your Majesty on behalf of the people." Lee Mingzhi immediately cupped his hands and said.

"This official will also donate."

The sound of discussion rose up in the court. Lee Mingzhi was laughing so hard that his gums were exposed. In this way, the army would have all the food and clothing for the winter. Happy, it was simply too happy.

"Recently, the Mu Country has come to invade and cause a ruckus at our borders. What do you all think?" Seeing how heated the discussion was for the common people, the Emperor waited for everyone to quiet down before giving a quick glance and slowly spoke.

Lee Mingzhi retracted his smile and stood in the middle of the line. He thought to himself, "Now it's still a fart, he just recovered the territory that was lost four years ago, the people still haven't calmed down from the war, and he still has to fight."
