Dressed as the best old lady in the famine years, I suddenly became rich

Chapter 243 You are our mother
The young master of the Li family arrived early. He rode a horse and saw Ke Muqing was already there. He was stunned for a moment and thought that he was late because he was delayed on the road. "I'm sorry to have kept the old lady waiting for a long time."

"It's not the time we agreed on yet. We are all early." Ke Muqing smiled and waved his hand, "Let's go."

The ox cart couldn't go fast enough, so the two of them headed slowly towards Weiwu Mountain. It took them two full hours to reach the foot of the mountain.

When Ke Muqing and the other arrived, Zhu Er was already at the foot of the mountain with some of his brothers.

"Second Master!" Ke Muqing called out to Zhu Er from a distance, "I've brought you something good!"

Zhu Eryi turned around and saw Ke Muqing waving at him. He ran over, glanced at the ox cart, and asked with a smile, "Auntie, are you sending us food again?"

Ke Muqing shook his head. "Compared to food, I think you need this thing more now."

Ke Muqing first opened the oilcloth and then took down the top box and opened it in front of Zhu Er, "Fireball."

Zhu Er’s eyeballs were about to fall out.

"aunt!"

Zhu Er shouted excitedly, "Are all the balls in this car full of fireballs?"

When Ke Muqing nodded, Zhu Er rushed over and hugged Ke Muqing, "My dear aunt! From now on, you are my real mother!"

How could Zhu Er not be excited?
Ke Mucheng was right. Compared to food, fire balls were what Weiwushan wanted most.

With these fire balls, there is no need to worry about not being able to rescue the brothers who were captured in the city, and there is no need to worry about not being able to rescue the eldest brother and the third brother!

"Auntie, as long as I, Zhu Er, can come back alive, I will take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life from now on!" Zhu Er laughed.

"I have a son, I don't need you to take care of me in my old age!" Ke Muqing said three times with a "Puh-Puh" sound. "If you brothers can't come back alive with these things, it would be too unfair to these fireballs. Don't say I didn't tell you, this batch of fireballs is different from the ones I gave you before. This is a refined version, more powerful than the previous one. You must be careful when using it, don't blow yourself up."

"These fireballs are more powerful than those from the imperial court. I begged for all my old friend's wealth." Ke Muqing patted Zhu Er on the shoulder, "I hope you all come back safe and sound."

Zhu Er's eyes immediately turned red. "I've made the decision for my eldest brother and third brother. From now on, Auntie is the biological mother of us three brothers!"

Zhu Er was so moved by Ke Muqing's next words that he wanted to cry, "Auntie has a son, so it doesn't matter if we three brothers are here."

"You, don't make decisions for your brother rashly, or your eldest brother will beat you up." Ke Muqing smiled and shook her head. If her sister-in-law had become her own mother, it would be strange if Yang Erzhu didn't beat Zhu Er up.

"We are all family. You will understand in the future." After Ke Muqing finished speaking, he called Li Xiaolangjun who was standing aside, "Let me introduce him to you. I think you should know him too."

Ke Muqing told Zhu Er the purpose of Li Xiaolangjun's visit, and Zhu Er's eyes almost flew away.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your help!" Zhu Er clasped his fists, "Don't worry, no matter whether General Chen gives you this face or not, our brothers in Weiwu Mountain will remember Mr. Li's kindness."

"After hearing what the Second Master said, I feel that I have come to the right place!" Li Xiaolangjun agreed with a smile. Ke Muqing turned back to look at Li Xiaolangjun, "Among all of us, I think you are the only one who has the opportunity to meet General Chen. Now there is a shortage of food everywhere, and the court is also busy, so I guess the troops stationed on the border should also be short of food."

"When you meet General Chen, if General Chen does not recognize your Li family and even wants to attack you, you can use the food to exchange for your safe return. If General Chen recognizes you and is willing to let the brothers of Weiwu Mountain return, the food will be Weiwu Mountain's thank you gift."

"Let me make another bold assumption. If General Chen is willing to cooperate with Weiwu Mountain, the food will be Weiwu Mountain's sincerity. As long as Weiwu Mountain is still there, Weiwu Mountain will ensure that all the troops stationed on the border will not starve or freeze. When necessary, Weiwu Mountain can also provide General Chen with fire balls."

Except for the last one, Ke Muqing did not specify how much food to give for the first two items, leaving it to Li Xiaolangjun to decide for himself.

She patted Li Xiaolangjun on the shoulder and said, "No matter how little you say, I will never let you break your promise. You also know that I am not a person who talks nonsense. I will keep my word."

This was also the way out that Ke Mucheng helped Li Xiaolangjun escape from danger. Now that General Li has long passed away, it is unknown how many people in the world still recognize Li Xiaolangjun as a descendant of the Li family.

"Thank you, Auntie, for arranging it for me." Li Xiaolangjun suddenly felt a little sour in his nose.

"I'll also have some Auntie to arrange for Weiwushan." Zhu Er said, "With these fireballs from Auntie, our chances of winning will be much better."

Originally there was only a 20% chance of winning, so this trip to Weiwu Mountain was a last-ditch effort.

But with these fireballs, Zhu Er felt that he had an 80% chance of success.

With these fireballs, he could send fewer brothers to the provincial capital and take more people to Shu County.

No matter how many elite soldiers General Chen has, it is not difficult to fight their way out with these fireballs. As long as they can fight their way out, the brothers of Weiwu Mountain can escape from the trapped situation and even go further.

"Auntie, time waits for no one, so I won't talk to you any more here. When my eldest brother, the third brother and the others come back, we will go and talk to you properly for three days and three nights."

Ke Muqing nodded and said yes. Seeing that Ke Muqing left the ox cart behind, Li Xiaolangjun let her ride his horse back to the city.

"No need, you can ride your horse there, and then we can ride back together." Ke Muqing shook her head. "Although I am old, my legs and feet are more flexible than you young people."

Without giving Li Xiaolangjun a chance to persuade him again, Ke Mucheng waved his hand and turned to leave.

After they walked far away, Ke Mucheng got a horse and rode back. When he was almost at the city gate, he changed the horse into a carriage loaded with supplies and went back.

When she returned, her family had already packed up their things. Halfway through, Ke Muqing was still thinking that with the Fireball, Weiwu Mountain should be able to turn the defeat into victory, and everyone didn't have to go to Chen County.

But everyone had packed their things. Ke Muqing thought for a moment and said, "You can choose to find a place near the border between Chen County and Zhuang County to wait for news, or you can go directly to Chen County City to wait for news. I will stay, and Yang Yi will stay with me."

Ke Muqing looked at Feng Ying, "Old family, you guys should discuss it among yourselves first. After the discussion, you can take everyone to the city to buy some food and daily necessities. If you want to go to Chen County, bring more water. I will go out of the city again to prepare some things for you. We will meet outside the city in an hour."

"Mom won't go with us?" Feng Ying asked, "Then should we ask Yang Er to stay with us to protect Mom?"

"I don't need anyone to protect me. I left Yang Yi here to run errands and deliver messages for me." Ke Muqing shook his head. "Don't you know my abilities? Don't worry about me. I'm staying here to wait for news from Weiwu Mountain. Who knows, maybe you'll be back in a few days."
