Then Call Your Deputy Commanders Here!

Just as Zhou Wanwan finished speaking, someone came to report to her.

Zhou Wanwan waved her hand and said, "Call them all in."

This breakfast was quite substantial, including rock sugar bird's nest porridge, longan, lotus seed, and white fungus porridge, and millet and chestnut soup.

The dim sum includes crab roe steamed dumplings, shrimp shumai, plum blossom milk cake, Ruyi red bean paste rolls, and osmanthus sugar cake.

Other dishes include pickled bamboo shoots, braised quail eggs, cold jellyfish salad, and honey-glazed radish.

Other exquisite tea snacks and pastries include: cloud cake, mung bean pastry, and lotus flower pastry.

It also came with soft-boiled steamed egg and candied cherries.

Zhou Wanwan looked at Jiang Yunyao and said, "Why don't you sit down and eat with us?"

Jiang Yunyao shook her head and said, "No need, we must follow the rules."

Zhou Wanwan didn't insist. The rock sugar bird's nest porridge was quite good, and the tender bamboo shoots were also something she liked.

The crab roe dumplings were also good; they were filled entirely with crab meat, and she ate quite a few.

Qin Zimo walked in, looked at the breakfast on the table, and swallowed hard.

Qin Zixuan also stared intently at the steamed dumplings.

Jiang Yunyao used to always share good food with her brothers, but now Jiang Yunyao completely ignores them.

Qin Zimo looked at Jiang Yunyao and said, "My father wants you to go back. Grandmother's legs are in terrible pain. Where did you buy those plasters?"

Jiang Yunyao said calmly:

"I'm no longer a member of the Qin Clan. You can't make me go back just because you want me to."

As for your grandmother, didn't she look down on me?

What would I do back there? Besides, don't you already have Aunt Zheng?"

Qin Zimo looked at her and said:

Why bring up Aunt Zheng?

Aunt Zheng isn't good at managing the household. She said, "If you go back, I'm willing to give you the position of head of the household."

Are you still not satisfied?

Jiang Yunyao looked at Qin Zimo and said:

"Didn't you want to kick me out in the first place?"

I've already handed over the management duties to her. Is there anything you're unhappy about?

"Since you're all satisfied, why did you come to me?"

Qin Zixuan looked at Jiang Yunyao and said, "If the Qin Clan hadn't run into trouble, do you think we would have come looking for you?"

"So it turns out the Qin Clan is in trouble, that's why they thought of me."

Why should I solve problems for your Qin Clan time and time again?

I have now sold myself into slavery; I am no longer a slave of the Qin Clan.

Qin Zimo pointed at Zhou Wanwan and said, "You're just willing to be bossed around by her? What kind of spell has she cast on you?"

Jiang Yunyao said:

"She helped me when my Jiang Family needed help."

My Jiang Family owed the Qin Clan millions of taels of silver. The Qin Clan kicked me out, but she took me in.

Qin Zixuan scoffed, "It's just a few million taels of silver. It's not like the Qin Clan doesn't have that much."

Jiang Yunyao nodded and said:

"Yes! The Qin Clan has millions of taels of silver, but they haven't spent a single penny."

All the debts that the Qin Clan owed in the past were guaranteed by our Jiang Family. If the Qin Clan doesn't repay them, then our Jiang Family will have to pay them.

"Don't you think the Qin Clan is ridiculous?"

Qin Zimo said impatiently, "Alright, alright, stop with the nonsense. I'm just asking if you're going back or not. Stop nagging."

Jiang Yunyao said seriously, "I'm not going back! I don't want to listen to your nagging. I've already made it clear to you."

"You're utterly stubborn! Do you really think the Qin family can't function without you? Fine, fine, you don't have to go back then."

Qin Zixuan looked at Jiang Yunyao with disappointment and said, "From this moment on, you are no longer my mother."

Jiang Yunyao watched their retreating figures and said:

I am no longer your mother.

"You resort to this attitude every time you encounter difficulties, trying to make me compromise? That's impossible now."

Jiang Yunyao's heart was completely dead.

The Qin Clan's life is getting harder and harder.

Zhou Wanwan led Jiang Yunyao directly to the army base. Jiang Yunyao looked at Zhou Wanwan and asked, "What are we doing here?"

Zhou Wanwan sat in the carriage and said calmly, "Inspecting my troops!"

Her troops all came from Pinduoduo.

There's nothing we can do; she hasn't established her own country yet.

The only option is to gather all the troops together.

Jiang Yunyao stared blankly at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Master, it seems we've taken the wrong path?"

Zhao Kun nodded and said, "These are the troops of the Great Qi! They're all under Qin Yuan's command now. Let's run!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at Zhao Kun and asked, "Why did you run away? Are you scared?"

Zhao Kun pursed his lips and said, "I'm not afraid, but you're a citizen of Great Xia! Do you think the army of Great Qi will let you go?"

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry! I'm a registered resident of Great Qi now."

Zhao Kun stared blankly at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Household registration? How could people from Great Xia have household registration in Great Qi?"

It's so simple, just a matter of stamping and filing. How difficult could it be?

Soon, they arrived at the capital city located on the border of the Great Qi.

Several guards looked at them coldly and said, "Halt! What are you doing here?"

Zhao Kun coughed and said, "We... we just came to take a look."

The guard sneered, "This is a strategically important border area; unauthorized personnel are not allowed. Get out of here!"

Zhao Kun's lips twitched as he said, "I'm from the Zhao Family..."

"Get lost! What Zhao Family Li Family? Even if the Heavenly King himself came, he'd have to produce his token."

Zhao Kun sighed and asked, "What kind of token do you need?"

Zhou Wanwan poked her head out, smiling as she looked at them, and asked, "What kind of token do you need? Will my token work?"

Zhou Wanwan took out a black token and waved it, saying, "What do you guys think of this? Will it work?"

The guards craned their necks, looked closely, and then all knelt down.

Zhou Wanwan said calmly, "Open the city gates. I want to enter the city and summon your commander."

Zhao Kun's hands trembled with anxiety inside the carriage.

"Commander-in-chief? What commander-in-chief? Send the commander-in-chief of the Great Qi Kingdom? Isn't that the same as sending Qin Yuan?"

If we get into the city today, do you think we'll get out alive? Do you know what kind of place this is?

All the troops stationed at the border of the Great Qi are now concentrated here.

And they were all Qin Yuan's men. We're finished, we're finished.

Jiang Yunyao looked at him calmly and said, "Even the master isn't in a hurry, why are you?"

Zhao Kun almost burst into tears. "How can I not be anxious? I'm not even married yet!"

Then they heard the guard on the other side shout back, "The commander-in-chief is not here; only the two deputy commanders are in command."

Zhou Wanwan said calmly, "Then call your deputy commander here!"

The guard responded, and Zhou Wanwan jumped off the carriage.

Zhao Kun and Jiang Yunyao followed behind Zhou Wanwan.

Zhou Wanwan was strolling around the city.

Zhao Kun said:

"This city is called Yong'an City, and these troops are usually stationed here."

This city is full of military dependents.

This city has no restaurants, no brothels, and no casinos; it only has some shops selling daily necessities.

She strolled around the streets and said, "Yong'an City is nothing special."

Zhao Kun said, "Yes! That area is all military family quarters, it's really not interesting, and the management here is extremely strict."

Soon, two deputy commanders were seen rushing over.

They shouted, "Surround her! Don't let her escape!"

The deputy commander looked at Zhou Wanwan and asked, "Who are you? Why do you have a military tally?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and smiled faintly, "Who I am is not important. I've heard that your army only recognizes this military token, am I right?"

Not only the deputy commander, but also many officers walked this way.

Deputy Commander Zhang said, "That's right, we only recognize military tallies."

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "Since that's the case, and the military tally is in my hands, then from now on you all have to listen to me, right?"

Deputy Commander Zhang looked at Zhou Wanwan and was startled. Why did this girl look so familiar? He felt like he had seen her somewhere before.

Deputy Commander Feng nearby, snorted coldly:

"We only recognize military tallies."

But you're just a six-year-old child. Do you think we should listen to you?

Deputy Commander Zhang suddenly remembered where he had seen this face before, and he turned pale with fright.

Deputy Commander Feng muttered to himself:

Where exactly was this military tally stolen? And who are you?

If you don't talk, I'll chop you up with this knife.
