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

Chapter 1209: Chapter 1208: Yang Wenxiao’s New Idea_1 Chapter 1209: Chapter 1208: Yang Wenxiao’s New Idea_1 Having thought of a new business opportunity, Qiao Xiaomai was very pleased as she drove her carriage into Da’an Palace.

However, her happiness only lasted until the dinner table. Yang Wenxiao’s expression didn’t look too good, and Tong Sanlang’s complexion also seemed off. Glancing at Yang Wenxiao and then at Tong Sanlang, she couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”

Upon hearing her question, Yang Wenxiao lifted his eyelids to give her a look and slowly said, “Today, Qingye and Fengbao set out on their journey back.”

Qiao Xiaomai blinked in confusion.

The two princes who stirred up trouble had left, which should be good news.

“Considering the temperaments of these two men and the intelligence we’ve gathered, they both have strong pride. For such proud men to suddenly become so accommodating and flexible in Daqi is abnormal, and where there’s abnormality, there’s almost certainly something demonic afoot.”

Hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but blink again and ask, “So what should we do?”

“I have already prepared for the worst-case scenario,” replied Yang Wenxiao.

“What preparation?”

“Several small countries to the south have joined forces with intentions of plotting against Daqi.” Yang Wenxiao slowly sipping his porridge continued, “So, I was thinking of letting Sanlang practice a bit. If this worst-case scenario occurs, he’ll be able to lead the troops to the front line to fight.”

Qiao Xiaomai “…”

She looked at Tong Sanlang in astonishment.

Tong Sanlang, with his head down, also slowly sipped his soup and said, “Daqi has many capable people; it’s not my turn to lead the troops.”

He was unwilling, and so Yang Wenxiao became somewhat unhappy.

He truly didn’t want to.

He realized that Yang Wenxiao had recently become too accustomed to ordering him around, having him deal with all sorts of matters, big and small, and now he even wanted him to stay in the Imperial Guards to practice and learn.

His ambition lay with a wife and kids by the warm kang; leading troops and fighting in wars held no interest for him.

Moreover, his current noble rank was sufficient. Even if he were to lead the troops to a victorious battle, at most Yang Wenxiao would promote him one level to a viscount, which meant a bit more grain and silver yearly–utterly useless to him.

Therefore, he was unwilling to go and refused on the spot.

That’s when Yang Wenxiao became unhappy.

He had reason to be unhappy!

He had come to the Capital City for the palace examination, but ended up doing all sorts of odd jobs!

Upon hearing this, Yang Wenxiao raised his eyebrows, “You are Daqi’s number one brave warrior.”

Tong Sanlang lifted his head, confused, “I wasn’t aware of that.”

“I’ve just named you.” Yang Wenxiao locked eyes with him.

Tong Sanlang “…”

Qiao Xiaomai, sitting with her head bowed to one side, glanced around and whispered, “Your Highness, Sanlang is just an eighteen-year-old kid with some martial arts skills and not the slightest knowledge of military tactics. How can you trust him to lead troops?”

“It’s alright if he doesn’t understand; he can learn. Practicing in the Imperial Guards, with his cleverness, those military aspects are certainly not an issue,” decreed Yang Wenxiao.

Qiao Xiaomai, “… We are just old farmers who till the land… Aren’t you overestimating us a bit?”

“Don’t be modest; I know he can do it,” said Yang Wenxiao. “Anyway, there’s no rush to return to Anping Village, so let him spend his days mixing with the Imperial Guards, in case we really go to war.”

Yang Wenxiao paused, his gaze resting on Qiao Xiaomai’s face, “If Daqi falls, Anping Village falls with it.”

Qiao Xiaomai “…”

She forced a smile, “You have explosives; if anyone dares invade Daqi’s territory, you could blast them to smithereens.”

“Gu Yu also had explosives when he was defeated. Explosives are not almighty,” Yang Wenxiao said with gravity.

Qiao Xiaomai “…”

The reason Gu Yu failed was that the Liuli Space suddenly couldn’t be opened!
