Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 146 Thinking Far Ahead

After leaving the Huo residence, Yunyi returned to her room to sleep. She was quite at ease with Jing Han. Although he appeared rough and unruly, he was actually a shrewd man. With him around, Longxi Prefecture would not be in chaos.

She probably won't even need to get involved in the Du family's affairs.

It feels so good to have someone to do things for you. It's a pity that there's only one Jing Han right now. She still needs to hurry up and train a few more people.

So, early the next morning, she took Lao Quan and prepared to go to Heicheng.

“Young Miss,” He Miao protested, “I’m your maid, you have to take me with you.”

"When did you become my maid?"

"I declared it myself. From the moment you saved me, you became my young lady. What personal maid doesn't follow her master?"

"You are also the daughter of an official, you..."

“That was then, and besides, my father was just a seventh-rank county magistrate. What kind of daughter of an official do I count as? Moreover, I was also taken advantage of by that Bai Wu…” He Miao suddenly stopped, but the anger and sorrow on her face disappeared in an instant. “Anyway, I’m sticking with you for the rest of my life. No matter what you do, you will definitely need someone to serve you. I can do it, really.”

Yunyi: ...

"I can be a maid now, and when I get older I can be a head maid, and when I'm even older I can be a head nanny..."

Yunyi: ...

You've really thought ahead.

"Boss, this guy's trying to steal my job!" Sixteen immediately protested. If it weren't currently in a physical form, it would have already given He Miao a piece of its mind. "When I become a human, I'll be the number one person by your side."

It is a system born for the boss. Except for its demise, it can never be separated from the boss no matter what it becomes. In fact, its fate is the same. So naturally it should stay by the boss's side. But He Miao actually came to snatch it.

Yunyi closed her eyes briefly: "Miao'er, you're overthinking it, I..."

“I’m definitely going to follow you. I’ve already sorted things out here. The manor is fully staffed, and they’re all sworn servants with lifelong contracts. The chances of them betraying their masters are slim. After all, we’re doing well here, and the restaurant is fully staffed too. So, I have to follow you.” He Miao was very stubborn.

Yunyi sighed, "Fine, I'll come along then." It's good to have someone of the same sex around, after all, Lao Quan is a grown man, and there are some things that are inconvenient to ask him for help with.

"Thank you, Miss." He Miao was delighted and turned to pack her things. She quickly came out with a bundle. "Let's go."

Yunyi had no choice but to ask Lao Quan to hire a horse-drawn carriage.

"Young lady, I can ride a horse."

"Huh?" Yunyi was taken aback.

"Although my father was a civil official, he always had the heart of a military general. Although he himself did not learn any advanced kung fu, my brother and I learned riding and archery from a young age. However, I am really not cut out for martial arts, but I have no problem riding a horse and walking."

"That's good." Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief. She was impatient to ride in a carriage here; not only was it slow, but it was also very bumpy.

Although more expensive horse-drawn carriages also have shock absorbers, they are made of wood, so the shock absorption effect is only better than that of oxcarts.

More importantly, there was no asphalt or cement in this era. Good roads were just stone slab roads, but the roads between cities, even the official roads, were basically dirt roads.

With its wooden wheels, if you go a little faster, it can really shake your internal organs out of you.

Therefore, she still prefers riding horses in ancient times.

Now that He Miao can ride a horse, that would be even better.

However, there weren't many horses in Longxi City, so in the end, Old Quan had no choice but to bring over a donkey.

"Young lady, there isn't a single horse in the entire livestock market. You'll have to make do with a donkey for now," Old Quan said helplessly.

"Alright then." Yunyi nodded; riding a donkey was faster than taking a carriage.

Little White and Little Black are fine steeds. Normally, when Yunyi and Lao Quan go out, they can gallop at full speed. But now, they can only slow down, but the little donkey still can't keep up.

However, He Miao adapted quite well. After all, although she had studied riding and archery for a long time, she really didn't have much talent for it. In fact, she would still be terrified when she was actually on horseback. This little donkey was much better. Although its speed was a bit of a hindrance, but...

Anyway, she won't stay because she feels guilty.

We arrived in Black City before dinner.

Not far into Black City, I saw several people surrounding a man and a woman, presumably either harassing or extorting them.

In Black City, such things happen all the time, so basically everyone pretends not to see them.

However, Yunyi is now the biggest gang leader in Black City, and she did all this not to show off. So, she still has to speak up when she sees injustice, especially since she knows those two people.

"What are you doing?" Yunyi turned her horse around and looked at the seven or eight thugs.

"This is none of your business. Get lost, or we'll arrest you too," a thug waved his hand impatiently.

"I'm just asking what you want to do."

“These two stole our boss’s treasure, so naturally we have to take it back.”

"Whose boss are you working for?" Yunyi continued to ask, "What kind of treasure do you have?"

The people surrounded were none other than Xiao Jinxiu and her niece Xiao Linshan. They had previously received help from Yunyi, and upon seeing her, their eyes lit up with surprise.

"Who are you? What's it to you?" one of the thugs asked, frowning.

“Tell me who your boss is, maybe that will help us get in touch,” Yunyi said with a smile.

"You'd be terrified if our boss told you."

"Yes, I'm sure you're scared to death. We're Boss Yun's men."

"Cough cough." Yun Yi choked on her own saliva. "Boss Yun? The Boss Yun who took Boss Chu under his wing?"

"Of course, he's the top dog in Black City now... Ah! Why did you hit me?" the thug suddenly exclaimed.

"That's exactly what we're going to do," Lao Quan sneered. "You actually dared to impersonate Boss Yun and commit evil deeds."

"What impersonation? We are..."

"So you don't even recognize Boss Yun?" Lao Quan glared.

The thugs exchanged glances. They were imposters and naturally didn't recognize him, but they couldn't let him intimidate them. So they tacitly surrounded him.

Yunyi's whip flew out with a jingling sound, but as soon as they clashed, her heart sank. These people were not ordinary thugs at all, but experts. Although they were not top experts, they were still second or third-rate in the martial arts world.

Old Quan could handle one person, which was already quite good, but He Miao probably couldn't handle even one. Therefore, she had to face all seven of them alone.

Fortunately, she was never fighting alone. She let out a whistle, and soon the cry of an eagle echoed in the air.
