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

Chapter 1349: Chapter 1148: Continue the Chase_1 Chapter 1349: Chapter 1148: Continue the Chase_1 Qiao Xiaomai took a long breath, sigh…

This Tong Sanlang is really… infuriating her to death!

She ground her teeth and with a fist clenched in her right hand, she swung it through the air, “Let’s go, to Yuhu.”

Ren Zhong looked at her from the side and advised, “Miss Qiao, we don’t have enough supplies, and we also don’t know the situation in Yuhu. It might be better to return to the capital first and regroup.”

“It’s just supplies,” Qiao Xiaomai reached into her bosom and pulled out a stack of banknotes, “Whatever we need, we can buy on the way.”

Ren Zhong couldn’t help but widen his eyes, staring at the stack of banknotes in Qiao Xiaomai’s hands, dumbstruck.

The thickness of it must be at least ten thousand taels, her summer clothes were so thin, how did Qiao Xiaomai manage to hide such a thick stack of banknotes in her bosom…

Cough, that’s not the point.

Touching his nose, Ren Zhong quickly redirected his thoughts, “Miss Qiao, I think the other party’s intention is to wear Tong Sanlang out with constant travel, and to strike at him when he’s exhausted. We will also be exhausted if we travel this way. If we are caught unawares, I can’t bear the responsibility to His Imperial Highness the Retired Emperor.”

Qiao Xiaomai glanced at him, “What are you afraid of? With five thousand elite soldiers, what’s there to fear?”

“I fear for your safety, I suggest we return to the capital to regroup,” Ren Zhong was very straightforward; he said what he thought.

The most important thing on this journey was not to assist Tong Sanlang, but to ensure Qiao Xiaomai’s safety.

The journey to Yuhu was long and the mountains high; who knew what might happen on the way?

A month’s journey had too many variables.

What if the enemy changed the Zhang Family’s location midway?

Would he and Qiao Xiaomai lead the five thousand people to change course again?

Tong Sanlang’s martial arts skills were strong; it was convenient for one man to travel anywhere. But he was different, he didn’t have the courage or the ability to ensure Qiao Xiaomai would remain unharmed.

“We’re not returning to the capital, we’re going to Yuhu,” Qiao Xiaomai said without any hesitation. Having set out, unless she met Tong Sanlang, she would not return.

In this era without mobile phones, once a person was out of sight, contact was lost.

Moreover, Tong Sanlang was currently in danger, on his own, who knew what might happen?

She was not at ease; her heart had been in turmoil these past three days. Asking her to return to the capital was like throwing her into a pot of boiling oil.

No, she was determined not to go back.

“But there’s a month’s journey in the middle…”

“Even if it were two months, I would still go,” Qiao Xiaomai interrupted him firmly. Her eyes locked on Ren Zhong, she shook the banknotes in her hand, “No matter how we rush, we have to go. Ren Zhong, I can only feel a bit better on the road.”

“I’m not going back.”

Ren Zhong “…”

The situation with Tong Sanlang was indeed unknown, life or death uncertain; Qiao Xiaomai was right.

Only on the road, would one feel a little better.

“Fine, we’ll continue on our way in the direction of Yuhu.” He issued the command, “Rest on the spot for an hour, and after an hour, we set off!”

Everyone received the order and dispersed to attend to their tasks.

Ren Zhong pulled out a map, checking to see if there was a shorter route.

He was Yang Wenxiao’s personal guard, but he had not traveled through Daqi; he knew only its full aspect from maps and had never surveyed the land personally.

Now he had to lead Qiao Xiaomai through Daqi’s territories, and he felt unsure.

Seeing his furrowed brows, Qiao Xiaomai said, “Don’t worry too much. With so many of us, the other side wouldn’t dare to make a move unless they want to rebel.”

Five thousand elite soldiers, what assassin would dare to strike?

Unless, of course, they intended to rebel.
