Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 386: Cancellation of Engagement

Master Bai looked at Huo Jun with a gentle and somewhat emotional expression, and spoke slowly:

"The Huo family's family tradition has always been praised by the world, and the words "clean and honest" run through the Huo family.

Your father is a man of integrity and honesty, and with such a character, he naturally raised you to be an outstanding person."

Master Bai paused, his eyes revealing a complex emotion, one that seemed to be filled with regret and helplessness:

“It’s just that this is too rigid, and sometimes it’s like an invisible frame that traps you.

Some things, if you change your perspective, the results will be very different."

Huo Jun frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. He was about to ask, but Master Bai raised his hand to stop him:

"There's one more thing I'll tell you! Originally, you and my Yiyi were engaged.

Over the years, we never gave up on her, but there was still no news.

After so many years, even if we find her, I think she would have married someone else."

Huo Jun's body stiffened slightly, and a trace of pain flashed across his eyes. At this moment, those childhood memories related to Yiyi flooded into his heart like a tide.

"So, today, on behalf of Yiyi, I am canceling this engagement with you.

"You are a good child. You will definitely find a good match in the future and start a new life. Don't be bound by this marriage contract anymore." Master Bai said softly.

Huo Jun pursed his lips tightly and remained silent for a long time. Finally, he spoke with difficulty: "Uncle Bai, if it weren't for me, Yiyi wouldn't have been lost if she had been taken out to play. It's all my fault."

Master Bai patted his shoulder gently and said earnestly:

"This matter has nothing to do with you. Even if you weren't involved, what was lost would still be lost. We've investigated and found that this matter is related to that person in the palace.

Life is long, so don't lose the courage to move forward because of this temporary change.

In the days ahead, you will surely meet the person with whom you will spend your life together."

Huo Jun nodded and said, "I will look for Yiyi if I have the chance in the future. I don't believe she is lost like this."

Master Bai nodded and said, "It depends on fate! If we are still destined to be with Yiyi, we will find her.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and after half an hour of long bumpy ride, it finally stopped in a forest.

The horse pulling the cart was breathing heavily and wagging its tail. The toffee in the cart suddenly became excited and squeaked a few times.

Milk tea quickly translated: "It said get off..."

Everyone got off the carriage and followed Naitang, who took them directly to a farm.

The farm looks very mysterious and is surrounded by tall fences.

Outside the fence, there was a burly thug standing at intervals. They were dressed in black, their eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly, and they had shiny weapons on their waists.

Looking further into the farm, bursts of dog barking could be heard not far away.

I saw dozens of sturdy wolfhounds tied with iron chains, pacing back and forth.

They bared their teeth and let out low growls, and would bark non-stop at the slightest movement.

Suddenly, dozens of wolfhounds seemed to have caught an unusual smell, sniffing hard with their noses, then their hair stood on end and they let out deafening barks.

The sharp and noisy shouts instantly broke the originally dull atmosphere of the farm.

The thugs nearby stopped what they were doing and looked alert.

A thug with a face full of flesh frowned and shouted at the top of his voice:

"What the hell is that sound? Why is it suddenly screaming so fiercely?

Could it be that someone broke in?"

Another thinner thug waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a curled lip:

"How is that possible? There's no one here, it's so remote.

I guess they are hungry. I quickly got them some food to eat. So many dogs barking at the same time are giving me a headache."

At this moment, an older thug came over quickly and shouted impatiently:

"Alright, alright, stop talking. If we can sell this batch of goods smoothly today, we'll make a fortune.

I heard this time the deal was with military personnel, and they were very generous!"

"Sell it to the army? How much can it be sold for? Are the military so rich?" A young thug asked with a puzzled look on his face.

The older thug immediately looked around cautiously, and when he saw that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said:

"What do you know! When the military purchases supplies, they always buy them according to the highest standards and at the highest prices.

As long as this deal goes through, we won't have to worry about the rest of our lives. Be smart and don't make any mistakes!"

When Huo Jun heard the word "army", his face turned pale.

His face was as pale as paper. He had been convinced that the army was short of supplies, but the scene before him was like a heavy hammer, completely shattering his cognition.

In the warehouse, grain was piled up like mountains, but Shen Chongshan's people told him that they were living in extreme hardship.

Someone next to me is still mumbling:

"That's what General Shen said. This batch of goods must be the best. We specifically looked for the best food.

And these weapons, this transaction is huge, they will be here soon, let's get out first."

Not long after, a group of burly men walked in from outside.

Huo Jun recognized them at a glance as Shen Chongshan's trusted men.

Seeing them, Huo Jun was so angry that he trembled all over, and the anger in his chest was burning fiercely.

He had always believed in Shen Chongshan, but he never expected it to be like this.

The warehouse door was slowly pushed open, and a cold wind rushed in, carrying a hint of murderous air.

Walking in front was Shen Chongshan’s military advisor Su Yu.

He was tall and slender, wrapped in a black robe, with a stern face: "Are all the things ready?"

The delivery person was all smiles, his back bent like a shrimp: "Master Su, everything you want is ready, please take a quick look."

Su Yu put his hands behind his back and walked steadily into the warehouse.

Supplies were piled up like mountains in the warehouse, the food exuded a mellow aroma, and the weapons had a cold metallic luster.

He first walked to the grain pile, bent over, grabbed a handful of wheat grains, rubbed them between his fingertips, smelled them, and then nodded slightly: "Well, the grain quality is acceptable."

Then he walked to the weapon rack, drew out a long sword, and shook his wrist lightly, and the blade drew a cold light in the air.

He felt the weight and balance of the sword, and sheathed it with satisfaction.

After a thorough inspection, Su Yu's expression eased a little, and he nodded and said:

"Yes, you completed this mission very well.

General Shen has always been clear about rewards and punishments, and those who do well will naturally be rewarded handsomely."

His eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one: "But if there is even the slightest deception, you all know the consequences."

Su Yu nodded slightly, and several nimble men behind him walked in one after another with steady steps, carrying more than a dozen heavy boxes.

With a few creaking sounds, the lid of the box was slowly opened, and in an instant, the warehouse was brighter because of the light of gold and silver.

The first thing that caught my eye was a few boxes of gold, followed by a few boxes of silver ingots on the side. When the lids of the boxes were opened, the white silver light was so bright that one could not open their eyes.

The remaining boxes of gold and silver jewelry are even more dazzling.
