Du Changfeng had truly gone through great pains to conceal his excited mood.
He knew that someone was monitoring him. Forget about others, at least General Han knew that there was something going on between him and Prince Chu. One day, he even asked him very formally, "What is your relationship with the Prince?"
He replied, "I'm related to subordinates."
General Han looked at him for a long time, then scoffed, "How boring, not even telling me."
Ever since the day he surrendered, he had been working under the General Han. The two of them could be considered to be very familiar with each other, Han Tong was an open-minded person, he could not hide anything, and when he asked, it must be because the Prince Chu said something to him.
Initially, Du Changfeng wanted to be very obedient, and would do whatever he wanted to do without expressing his opinion on what he was supposed to do. However, after thinking about it again, this was probably not his personality. Thus, when Han Tong asked for his opinion, he intentionally grumbled.
He grumbled, but Han Tong was actually happy, and said: "I knew that you are not willing, but I wanted to send you there, I gave you a privilege, you can choose. Which town do you want to go to?"
A step away, was really a step away. The names of around ten villages and towns, he could only see Dark Water Town; as long as he opened his mouth, he would immediately see the person whom he was yearning for.
He was just about to speak out, but when he raised his head, he saw Han Tong's scrutinizing gaze, and he immediately came to his senses, and said: "Wherever General has sent me, I shall go."
In the end, in order to be fair, he decided that his luck was not bad, he captured the town next to Dark Water Town. According to the rules, the supervisors that were sent out would be changed once a month, so he only needed to wait for a month, and he would be able to see Bai Qianfan.
For this matter, he was so excited that he did not sleep well the whole night. When he woke up the next day, his eyelids were suffused with a green shadow.

Bai Qianfan was vexed, but she did not take Shi Yingying's harsh words to heart. What could a delicate young miss do to her?
But she never thought that Shi Yingying would actually force her father to come to her doorstep to propose marriage!
Not only was she dumbstruck, but when the news got out, the entire town went into an uproar. Only the man proposed to the woman, so how could the woman propose to the man herself? This is against the rules!
Shi Yingying's father was called Shi Shengcheng, she had an estate in the Su City, and often ran around the town twice. Bai Qianfan rarely saw him, and the impression she had of him was of a rather dignified and stern person. She couldn't imagine how much Shi Shengcheng loved her to bring up marriage.
Shi Shengcheng didn't want to come, but he couldn't resist his own daughter locking him up in the house so he didn't eat or drink. He could only agree to come over, since he had seen Qian Fan before, and knew that he was a pretty boy, and also knew that he was an outsider, relying on his two big sisters for each other's lives.
If he were to hand over such a large portion of the family business, not just anyone could take over. Firstly, it would be best if this person was a poor family, and did not have any messy relatives to mess around with the Shi Family, and secondly, this person had to have a smart mind, know how to do business, and expand the Shi Family's property. Lastly, it was also the most important, this person had to be completely single-minded towards Shi Yingying, and completely focus on the Shi Family. Don't keep his eyes shut, this would be the same for his son-in-law who would take over the Shi Family's property.
Ever since Shi Yingying was old, he had secretly picked a son-in-law, but there wasn't a single person who met the requirements. She didn't expect his daughter to find one for herself and marry him while still seeking death.
His looks were not bad, but upon closer inspection, he discovered that he was even more beautiful than a girl. On the surface, a boy and a girl looked like a rich man, but the bad thing about his voice was that it sounded like a girl's voice, which was very bad. On the surface, a man's and a woman's voice were the sound of a woman's.
Yingying must have taken a liking to his handsome looks. No, this marriage was not something he could agree to.
Not to mention, his daughter couldn't pass the test, so he had no choice but to say a few words in a perfunctory manner. Bai Qianfan naturally did not agree to it.
Shi Yingying naturally would not accept this result, but her father was someone with status, if he refused to accept her at all, then even if they did not agree, father wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
She sighed sadly. It was a pity that she didn't have any spirit. In just two days, her round face had lost a lot of weight. Shi Shengcheng was worried about her, and her Su City had stopped returning.
He had nothing else to do today, so he strolled around the market and saw Qian Fan selling mudfish at a stall.
That kid looked thin, but he was good at business. He had a big smile on his face as he shouted loudly. His voice was clear to the ears. Although it sounded like a woman's voice, it didn't make anyone feel uncomfortable. He stood there, obviously only one person, but he could make the stalls bustle with activity, rows and rows of buckets were placed there, all used to buy loach and water fish, and he had the most customers, his business was the best, and to his surprise, his colleagues were not jealous of him, and seeing that he was busy, they even helped him.
Shi Shengcheng was a businessman, and had been in the business for dozens of years. His eyes were sharp, and he had good judgement.
An old granny brought her grandson to buy a loach. He gave each of them a biscuit and asked them if they had any good food? If you like, come here early tomorrow and leave a few for them.
Carrying the loach and eating the bread, the two ancestors happily nodded and spoke a few words before leaving. From the looks of it, it was a deal to buy the cake tomorrow.
He nodded as he read. He was young and his mind was nimble. As long as he cultivated properly, he would definitely shine in the business world!
From the beginning till the end, his impression of that brat had greatly improved. As for his voice, he comforted himself, Qian Fan was still young, and the change in his voice had probably not yet happened. It should only be over in two years.
She had her eyes on him, but Qian Fan was not her only family, there were two elder sisters above. He had heard that his elder sister was engaged to a fool from the Liang family on the west side of the street. The uncle of the fool was the Minister, and the two families were both big families in the town.
His big sister was going to be married off, and marrying a girl would mean pouring water on her sister, and wouldn't have anything to do with her parents' family anymore. From the looks of it, Qian Fan and Jue Hu were pretty much on the same level.
Along the way, the more Shi Shengcheng thought about it, the more he felt that Qian Fan was the best candidate. His face was full of smiles. When he arrived home, this matter had basically come to a conclusion.
