I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With

Chapter 1008: Hero Chapter 1008: Hero Editor: Atlas Studios After fooling around in the Foreigners’ Chamber of Commerce, the four little ones felt much better.

Looking at the lively streets outside, they suddenly didn’t want to go home.

So Little An suggested, “Let’s go shopping.” Tiger Head subconsciously touched his pocket and realized that he didn’t bring any money.

He looked at them anxiously.

“I didn’t bring any money.” Little An and Little Lion didn’t bring any money either.

It hadn’t occurred to them that they were going to shop today, so they naturally wouldn’t specially bring money.

The Second Prince also searched his pockets.

Then, he realized that there were no pockets on his clothes.

However, he had brought a pouch with him.

Upon opening it, he saw that there were two silver nuggets inside.

The three of them cheered up.

“Let’s go buy food!” The four of them went shopping happily.

The guards followed closely behind and did not stop them.

However, as soon as Tiger Head picked up the food, someone would stop them or snatch the food in his hand.

When Tiger Head glared at them, the guards explained, “Since your injuries haven’t healed yet, you shouldn’t eat anything outside.” Then what was the point of him shopping?

Tiger Head had a bitter expression on his face when a carriage stopped beside him.

Fan Zijin lifted the curtain and glanced at the four children, focusing on the things in their hands.

Only when the children had no choice but to hand the snacks to the guards behind them regretfully did he say, “Come on up.

I’ll bring you to pick up your father and Fourth Uncle.” The four children’s eyes lit up as they climbed onto the carriage.

Tiger Head said excitedly, “My father has returned triumphantly?” Fan Zijin nodded.

“He captured Pedro alive and wiped out all the pirates in the territorial waters of Guangdong.

Not only the navy and government offices, but even the citizens in the city will come to the port to welcome him.” The four little ones looked outside and saw that everyone was indeed walking out of the city.

They all became excited.

“What about my big brother and the others?” “They went back to the residence to pick you up.

Who knew that you would go to the Westerner Club?” Fan Zijin glanced at their excited expressions and asked, “Did you go to torment Joao and Jose today?” Little An quickly clarified, “No, we went to visit them.

We even brought a bottle of medicinal wine for them.” Fan Zijin snorted coldly in disbelief.

However, as long as the children didn’t suffer a loss, he would not ask further.

The four little ones heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, the adults often taught them to be gentlemanly.

If they knew that they had narrow-mindedly tortured Joao and Jose, they would definitely scold them.

After Qi Haoran eliminated yet another group of pirates, the people of Guangzhou celebrated and gathered by the seaside to watch.

Some people specially prepared rotten vegetables to hurl at the criminals, while others who hadn’t prepared anything simply grabbed small stones by the roadside.

The four little ones jumped off the carriage and exclaimed when they saw the dense crowd by the sea, “Isn’t this way too crowded?” Little Bear and Little Treasure squeezed to the four of them and couldn’t help but pinch their ears.

“You guys made us run home for nothing.

I thought you wouldn’t be able to make it in time for Father’s triumphant return.” Fan Zijin frowned at the sight of so many people.

He went to two governors and said, “There are too many people.

To prevent any incidents, get all the bailiffs from the government office to come here to maintain order.

Don’t let the commoners be squeezed into the sea.

Make sure to prevent a crowd crush.” The two governors agreed and left with solemn expressions.

Little Bear said excitedly, “There are also citizens who rushed over from the countryside below.

They all heard that Father had annihilated the pirates in this area and specially came to celebrate.” Little Treasure was also beaming with joy.

“Fourth Uncle is amazing.

Many people said that they wanted to erect longevity memorial tablets for Fourth Uncle and Royal Father.” The four little ones were also excited.

As they were shorter, after jumping twice, they realized that they still couldn’t see what’s ahead.

So, they asked the guards to place them on their shoulders so that they could watch while seated.

Little Bear and Little Treasure were extremely envious, but they were well aware that they had already grown up and refused to sit on a guard’s shoulder.

Little Treasure looked around and pointed at a relatively tall rock by the sea.

“Little Bear, can you move that over?” Little Bear gestured and nodded happily.

“Yes.” After saying that, he happily jumped over and picked up the big rock to place it where they were standing.

The two of them then stood on it and watched.

The foreigners who had also come to watch widened their eyes and opened their mouths wide.

They looked at the big rock in disbelief and then at Little Bear.

Equally stunned, Andre swallowed and said to his attendant, Paul, “Didn’t they say that Princess Consort Rong’s situation is a special case?

How can her son be so strong, too, at such a young age?” Paul hesitated.

“Perhaps it’s hereditary?” Andre looked at the children with a complicated expression and asked, “Did only one kid inherit this trait, or did all of them inherited the trait?

How many other such cases are there in Great Qi?” Ashamed, Paul said, “I’m sorry, my lord.

I can’t give an answer yet.” Andre shook his head slightly and said, “I heard from Princess Consort Rong that she’s far inferior to Prince Rong.

I heard that Prince Rong is so powerful because of his impressive martial arts skills.

Strength is innate, while martial arts is acquired.

If Great Qi has such powerful acquired knowledge, our goal will never be realized.

Paul, we have to investigate more.” “But my lord, in the past, Great Zhou and Great Qi were very weak.

Just 40 to 50 pirates were enough to defeat their soldiers.” “But have you seen the soldiers of Great Qi lose in the past two years?” Andre’s voice was almost inaudible.

“The Great Qi soldiers have never lost in these two years, and most of the pirates on the island have been eliminated.

Perhaps what they said is true.

In the past, Great Qi had always lost not because they were incompetent, but because we bribed their officials.” Andre’s eyes lit up as if he had found another way.

“Maybe we can give that a shot again.” “But Prince Rong is very harsh on corrupt officials.

It’s said that as long as they are caught, the entire family will be implicated.” Andre lowered his eyes and didn’t speak.

Hearing the cheers that resounded through the sky, he looked up and saw an armor-clad Qi Haoran alighting from the ship.

Behind him was a team of soldiers escorting his old acquaintance, Pedro.

Qi Haoran walked down with a cold expression and looked straight ahead.

As his gaze swept across the crowd, he saw six especially tall and excited children.

Holding back his glare, he strode towards Fan Zijin.

Fan Zijin looked at him with a smile and said in a low voice, “Walk Pedro all the way back to the prefectural capital?

Let the citizens have some fun too.” The corners of Qi Haoran’s eyes twitched.

“I’m afraid he’ll be smashed to death before he reaches the city gate.

Let’s just put him in the prisoner’s carriage and take him away.

Seeing such a huge crowd, I worry that accidents may happen.

Tell the bailiffs to evacuate the crowd quickly.” Just as Qi Haoran was about to turn around and bring the children back, he saw the person standing on the rock behind him from the corner of his eye.

His eyes widened and he looked over in disbelief.

Mu Yangling, who was dressed as a man, was grinning at him, showing her white teeth!

In spite of the warmth flooding his heart, Qi Haoran muttered, “Fooling around!” “What?” Fan Zijin turned his head and followed his gaze.

Only seeing a sea of heads, he asked, “What are you looking at?” Qi Haoran retracted his gaze and said, “Nothing.” Fan Zijin held him back.

“You have to parade through the streets on horseback; you can’t just rush back like this.

I’ll watch the children, and you just need to play your part as the hero.” Had it been 15 minutes earlier, Qi Haoran would certainly have disdained such a task, but now he didn’t object.

Instead, he walked forward with his head held high and chest out, mounted his horse with a graceful move, and led his troops to mount up and march into the city in formation.

Fan Zijin widened his eyes and looked at the place where Qi Haoran was looking at just now.

He’d thought that he would have to spend some effort persuading him.

Why was this kid suddenly so sensible?

Standing on the rock, Mu Yangling looked excitedly at Qi Haoran, who was riding a horse on the streets.

She wished she could announce to the world that that handsome young general was her husband!
