Chapter 430 Father and Daughter Meet (2)
"How do you sell the lady?" City Lord Qu looked at Aunt Ji and asked.
"The yield of one acre of land is worth a thousand gold coins." Little Ji made a loud request. City Lord Qu's face changed drastically. "Madam, isn't this asking too much?"
"Do you have enough money to buy food?" Ji Xiaowu said with a smile, "Is there enough food for you to hand over?"
"Madam, do you know that if I can't pay the grain, I won't be able to protect this city?" City Lord Qu said sternly, "When the time comes and the enemy is at the gates of the city, can you protect the grain?"
In Ji Xiaowu's eyes, Lord Qu's coercion could not cause any harm, and Ji Xiaowu smiled calmly. "Since I have the ability to grow these crops, I have the ability to protect them."
"The enemy is at the gate. Will they use their elite troops to attack this small city? If they are just small fry, what is there to be afraid of?" Ji Xiaou's words made City Lord Qu unable to continue. Looking at Ji Xiaou's demeanor, City Lord Qu was a little confused about her strength.
Could it be that this weak woman in front of him, who looked so powerless as to not even be able to tie a chicken, possessed a force that even he was afraid of?
"Madam, what will it take for you to sell me grain?" asked City Lord Qu.
"I should be the one asking you, what do you need this food for?" Aunt Ji asked with a smile, looking at City Lord Qu.
"I am the lord of a city, and the food will naturally be used by the people." City Lord Qu's answer made Ji Xiaou laugh.
"Lord Qu, are you not sincere? There won't be any major disasters in this world, so what do you need so much food for?" Aunt Ji asked casually.
City Lord Qu was slightly startled, and his gaze towards Ji Xiaowu became sharp. "What does Madam know?"
"I know everything I should know, but I don't know what choice City Lord Qu is going to make?" Mother Ji said calmly. Fang Chen appeared behind her at some point, and Bai Yichen also stood beside her at the same time.
City Lord Qu stared at Ji Xiaowu for a long time and sighed softly. "Even if you don't want to choose, you still want to live. You are a bird in a cage, you can't decide for yourself."
"You knew you couldn't escape, so you hastily married your daughter off? You thought that this would protect your daughter's life?" Old Lady Ji looked at City Lord Qu, gently stroking the teacup in her hand.
"Do you know Shishi? Where is she?!" City Lord Qu stood up suddenly and asked with a frown.
"I'm not marrying her off hastily. I'm just letting her avoid those troubles for the time being. I've already made arrangements so that if something happens to me, she won't be implicated. The people and property I leave to her will be enough for her to live a comfortable life."
"Do you know my daughter? Where is she?"
City Lord Qu questioned, and his men appeared in the dark and surrounded Ji Xiaomu and others.
He vowed to make Ji Xiaomu hand the person over.
"Dad, don't hurt Sister Ji, I'm here." After hearing what City Lord Qu said, Qu Shishi quickly ran out of the room and protected Ji Xiaomu.
"Shishi." When City Lord Qu saw Qu Shishi, there was joy in his eyes.
"I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay..." He slumped in the chair as if he had lost his strength, still whispering.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Qu Shishi was shocked. She had never seen her father so weak.
"It's okay, my tense heart just relaxed all of a sudden and my body can't take it anymore." Following Fang Chen's signal, Lou Yu jumped down from the wall, walked in front of City Lord Qu, checked him, and said lightly.
"I probably haven't had a good rest during this period, and my spirit has been tense, so this is the case." Lou Yu said, taking out a bottle of medicine and putting it on the table, "Take one pill a day, and it will be fine in three days. The consultation fee is one hundred taels."
