Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 252 It’s time to make a difference

Pei Naixian commanded the Qilu guards to deliver the gold to Gu Jinheng's tent.

He had just finished a meeting with his subordinates and was reviewing official documents.

Pei Nai, along with several Qilu soldiers, pushed a cart loaded with gold boxes into the tent with a clang.

Gu Jinheng raised his head and looked at her in confusion.

"You go back first." Pei Nai said to the Qilu guards who were helping to transport the goods.

Several guards saluted and stepped back.

Gu Jinheng raised an eyebrow at Pei Nai, asking her what she meant.

"Come and take a look." Pei Nai waved at him and then excitedly opened the lid.

Gu Jinheng walked over slowly and was greeted by the golden light.

"Isn't it impressive? I won this from a bet with Daxian! That time outside Shanyin Sect." Pei Nai said proudly, pointing at the piles of gold bars.

Gu Jinheng was amused by her. He leaned over to pick up a gold nugget and turned it over to take a look. "It's still Qilu's secret gold."

"Is it valuable?" Pei Nai asked doubtfully.

Gu Jinheng nodded and put the gold nugget back in its place. "Yes, it is the most valuable gold in the world."

Pei Nai took out the banknote Han Ruize had given him from his pocket and said, "Here, this is for you too."

Gu Jinheng took the banknote from her hand, looked at it, and asked, "Where did this come from?"

"Didn't I save Han Ruize in the Lu Kingdom Secret Realm? This is the compensation for my wound." Pei Nai said confidently.

Gu Jinheng looked straight into her eyes and asked with a smile, "Then why are there zeros and whole numbers?"

"He hit me on the head at the end, and I extorted fifty taels more." Pei Nai's eyes were vague, and he felt a little guilty.

Gu Jinheng saw her reaction and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Pei Nai felt threatened again, and before she could open her mouth, Gu Jinheng pinched her chin, bent down and kissed her.

He held Pei Nai's lips, licking and sucking them gently between his lips and teeth.

Pei Nai couldn't adapt to this way of kissing. She let out a light moan, and Gu Jinheng took the opportunity to push her lips open. Their tongues entangled with each other, and their temperatures merged.

After a while, Pei Nai pushed Gu Jinheng away and gasped for a long time. Gu Jinheng patted her back gently, and she gradually recovered.

There was a hint of emotion in Pei Nai's eyes, and Gu Jinheng looked at her steadily, admiring her state and expression.

Pei Nai restrained himself, pointed to a box of gold and said, "Can you keep both the banknotes and this box of gold for me?"

After all, she never cared about money and didn't know where to put it.

Gu Jinheng nodded, looked at the box of gold, paused, smiled and praised: "You have made progress."

Under normal circumstances, this box of gold might not be worth a look to Gu Jinheng, but this was the first time Pei Nai made money for the family.

Pei Nai smiled cheerfully, pointed to another box of gold and said, "At that time, I used Han Ruize's money to bet with Da Xi'an, so I gave this box to him, huh?"

Gu Jinheng nodded, "Nell can decide for herself what to do with the money she earns."

Pei Nai called the Silver Armor Guards, unloaded the box that Gu Jinheng had asked to keep, and took the other box of gold to Han Ruize.

Han Ruize was about to go to the Pei family army camp for inspection when he was stopped by Pei Nai.

"Are you going to Liying?" Pei Nai called him, "Wait for me, I'll go with you, come and collect this first."

Han Ruize tied the horse aside and walked over with confusion.

Pei Nai opened the lid and showed him the gold bars inside. "Here, we won the bet outside Shanyin Sect. Da Xian gave it to us. You get one box and I get one box."

Han Ruize was speechless for a long while before he said, "You've made progress." Pei Nai asked angrily, "Why did you say the same thing as Gu Jinheng? Aren't you surprised at all?"

"Gu Jinheng also said that?" Han Ruize laughed, "Have you always just spent money and never managed it?"

Pei Na nodded, "Yes."

"It's hard for him." Han Ruize briefly understood Gu Jinheng.

At this time, a soldier hurried over to report: "General Pei, General Han, the leader of the Valley Country, Zhang Sheng, and his entourage have arrived at the base camp and are unloading goods in the northwest camp."

"Unloading?" Pei Nai was a little confused.

"Yes." The soldier continued, "Ten thousand horses, all pulling weapons and machine guns."

Pei Nai was stunned and looked at Han Ruize.

Zhang Sheng and his men had only written to say that they would join the war in a timely manner, but they did not mention anything about weapons in advance.

Han Ruize also showed surprise and asked Pei Nai, "Let's go and have a look?"

Pei Nai's horse was still near his and Gu Jinheng's tent. Going back and forth would waste time, so he simply stole Han Ruize's warhorse.

Han Ruize also indulged her and rode a white horse instead.

The two of them rode at full speed and soon arrived at the camp of the Valley Kingdom.

As soon as he approached, Pei Nai saw Grandma Xun and the others, and a sense of familiarity surged in his heart.

She rushed over, jumped off the horse and hugged Grandma Xun.

"Mother-in-law, why are you here?" Pei Nai asked happily.

Grandma Axun smiled warmly, "I will come to the base camp to watch over your victory. When Yue Cang is defeated and the Wu clan falls apart, I will take you to the Wu clan palace and rescue the remaining girls!"

This is extreme trust.

She believed that Pei Nai would win, that Yue Cang would lose, and that the undefeated criminals would eventually pay the price they deserved.

"Okay." Pei Nai nodded immediately and asked, "How is the reconstruction of the Valley Kingdom going?"

"You have cleared out the poisonous people in all the main cities. Only a small number of houses need to be rebuilt, and most people have gradually returned to normal life." Grandma Axun replied to Pei Nai.

She turned back and said, "Follow me."

Then he took Pei Nai and Han Ruize to see the thousands of carts and boxes of weapons and artillery piled up like mountains on the ground.

Swords, spears, and lances are all fine products of the Valley Kingdom. All weapons number in the tens of thousands, including 50,000 bows and crossbows and one million arrows.

There were also various newly developed battle chariots and mechanical projectile artillery, hundreds and thousands of which were parked in an orderly manner, and at the very back there was even a cannon cart slowly driving in, pulled by horses.

"The mechanical wizards have been researching and testing day and night to develop a new weapon specifically for this war. The power of this artillery is twice that of ordinary assault artillery." Grandma Axun explained to Pei Nai and the others.

Pei Nai was shocked. "But the population of the Valley Country is only about three million. How did you create so many weapons in just over two months?"

"The people are all holding their breath. Rebuilding their homes is not important now. People are working day and night to repay this friendship. At the same time, we will use our strength to join the war and let the Wu people pay for their blood debt with blood." Grandma Axun sighed.

Then she said with some regret: "It's a pity that most of the factories in the Julu Casting Line were burned down by the Wu tribe, otherwise we would have produced even more weapons and artillery."

Pei Nai picked up a spear from the box next to him.

She turned it casually and found it light and solid, with a sharp and shiny tip. She was amazed by the details of the weapon from the barrel to the butt, and could see the effort put into the casting.

She put the spear back in place and said to Grandma Xun and the others, "It's already a lot. Everyone has worked hard."

Pei Nai looked around again and didn't see Zhang Sheng, Lu Xulan and the others, so he asked, "Where are Zhang Sheng and the others? Why aren't they here?"
