Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1169: Chapter 1169: Iron Ball Fruit (Sixth Update)_1 Chapter 1169: Chapter 1169: Iron Ball Fruit (Sixth Update)_1 “Your Highness, Princess Ailiusha spoke candidly, and her expression of grievance when she talked about being wronged didn’t seem faked. However, the siblings Qingye and Qinglian also mentioned this matter with righteous indignation, so they likely don’t harbor any guilt in their hearts,” Tong Sanlang carefully recalled the day’s events and shared his judgment with Yang Wenxiao.

Yang Wenxiao was holding a good hand, a set of four twos with a pair of jokers, and he always had a smile on his face, “There’s one story on one side and another on the other, but to send troops to annihilate a neighboring country just for a God Catfish, such actions, whether justified or not, become unjust.”

Qiao Xiaomai had been listening patiently all this time, and couldn’t help but interject when she heard this, “What’s a God Catfish?”

“It’s an elongated loach, about a foot long, and golden all over. Every five years, they send one over, and it tastes quite good. It’s said to speed up the healing of wounds, but nobody was injured when we ate it, so I don’t know if it really has that ability or not.”

“Those small countries to the south are always babbling on about mystical stuff. According to our own sources from there, the ability to speed up wound healing is mostly likely made up, a mere psychological comfort.”

Qiao Xiaomai “…”

There’s such a tactic?

“As for the Divine Tree Tribe, they mainly grow a type of fruit tree known as the iron ball tree. The iron ball fruits they produce are the size of watermelons, and when cut open, they’re filled with water that doesn’t taste much of anything.”

“However, there’s one particularly old iron ball tree in the tribe, larger than a dozen others put together, and the fruits from this tree are sweeter than the average iron ball fruit. Each year they send some to us, which I drink as fruit juice.”

After hearing this explanation, Qiao Xiaomai blinked, Iron ball? Just water inside that doesn’t taste much of anything?

This sounded so much like coconut…

The God Catfish is an elongated version of a loach, which she had never seen and was unsure about, but this iron ball was almost certainly coconut!

As Yang Wenxiao spoke, he tossed out the pair of jokers he had in hand, winning the round. He called out, “Shuffle the cards, shuffle the cards, let’s continue.”

Qiao Xiaomai started shuffling the cards and asked, “So, what will be done about this matter?”

“We’ll wait for news from there, should be within the next couple of days. But even if the Divine Tree Tribe did steal the God Catfish, without evidence, Yuchi Country can’t pin the crime on them,” Yang Wenxiao replied, his expression becoming more somber.

“The Divine Tree Tribe isn’t weak, but Yuchi Country managed to conquer them swiftly. It seems they had been plotting this for a long time. If Yuchi Country annexes the Divine Tree Tribe, its territory will significantly expand.”

Daqi wouldn’t just watch Yuchi Country grow stronger.

“Sanlang, today you saved the princess of the Divine Tree Tribe, which is no small feat. I’ll note another merit in the ledger for you. Leave those three to others; continue guarding the city gate tomorrow. You’ve had a long day, go have your meal first,” Yang Wenxiao added.

Tong Sanlang complied, clutching the wooden box as he left the grand hall.

After he had his meal, Qiao Xiaomai had already returned to her room in the inner palace.

He immediately took out the headwear he had bought that day, “Does it look good?”

Qiao Xiaomai glanced at it a few times, not bad, quite a novel design. She sat in front of the dressing mirror to try it on.

Tong Sanlang eagerly said, “Let me help you.”

As he spoke, he picked up the comb and began combing her hair. Qiao Xiaomai let him proceed, staring at the face in the bronze mirror. She asked, “Have you ever eaten that iron ball fruit?”

“No.” It was a tribute, he never had the chance to taste it.

Qiao Xiaomai clicked her tongue, “I’m interested in going to the south to see for myself.”

The fruit trees planted on the slopes of the manor were all quite common. If she could transplant some unusual fruit trees, they would surely fetch a high price.

Burdened with heavy debts, she wasn’t interested in the struggles between nations.

Her focus was on making money.

But with different geographical locations, even with Spiritual Spring water, could the southern fruit trees grow in the north…
