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

Chapter 1392: Chapter 1191: Guard Team_1 Chapter 1392: Chapter 1191: Guard Team_1 Yang Wenxiao had complicated feelings toward Tong Sanlang. He liked and admired him very much. The more he observed him, the more he felt this young man suited his tastes.

But precisely because Tong Sanlang was so agreeable and exceptional, Yang Wenxiao couldn’t help but feel a little wary of him.

As an emperor, suspicion was his nature; if Tong Sanlang truly intended to conspire a rebellion, with Qiao Xiaomai’s assistance, even if they didn’t succeed, they could still cause significant turmoil in Daqi.

He often entrusted Tong Sanlang with heavy responsibilities, sending him to encroach upon the interests of the aristocratic families and bureaucrats. He did this intentionally; on one hand, he couldn’t find anyone more suitable than Tong Sanlang; on the other, he wanted to place Tong Sanlang in opposition to the aristocratic families and bureaucrats, so even if Tong Sanlang harbored any ill intentions, no one would respond.

Moreover, he did not enhance Tong Sanlang’s status but only gave him exceptional honor, without increasing his rank or advancing his noble title.

He knew such behavior was shameless, but there was no helping it. Sitting in this position, the whole world was his enemy; he would suspect everyone.

However, he compensated Tong Sanlang in other ways. Throughout all of Daqi, who would dare to provoke Tong Sanlang?

Not to mention, Tong Sanlang even dared to refuse his requests.

Yang Wenxiao doted on yet guarded against Tong Sanlang, but Qiao Xiaomai was different. What a wonderful girl Qiao Xiaomai was, so excellent that he had long wanted to acknowledge her as his god-granddaughter.

He had no direct daughters or granddaughters, and now he had come across an outstanding and legendary Qiao Xiaomai. If she hadn’t married Tong Sanlang, he would have named her a princess by now.

Moreover, Qiao Xiaomai’s temperament also suited his tastes: daring to love and hate, not valuing material possessions, only caring for emotions — how pure of a person she was!

He loved such purely transparent people the most.

“Haohao, you handle it personally. Choose those who are good-looking with nice figures, pick two hundred of them, and send them in haste to Yuhu,” Yang Wenxiao said.

“Ah?” Yang Hao still looked bewildered. Two hundred people?

“These two hundred will be Qiao Xiaomai’s personal guard team, as well as her harem. Whichever she likes, she can pick. These people will only follow her commands, ensuring her safety,” Yang Wenxiao said. “To have a country bumpkin drive her to this point of frustration, even having to kick someone personally, it’s too hard on her.”

Yang Hao “…”

“Hurry up, you choose them personally. Go to Yuhu as quickly as possible,” Yang Wenxiao instructed.

Yang Hao “…”

He got up silently and took his leave, accepting the order.

Yang Wenxiao let Emperor Yongan deal with state affairs while he himself slipped away to his private warehouse.

The scale of his warehouse surpassed even the National Treasury; inside were all kinds of rare treasures he had collected over his lifetime. After perusing for a while, he gathered many items together.

He ordered his men to pack these treasures, to be sent together to Yuhu the next day.

Ningwu County.

Yang Ye posted the reward notice and then anxiously awaited a response. Bei Lingsu wasn’t being lazy; she still roamed nearby forests, stopping to gather any rare herbal medicines she encountered.

Qiao Xiaomai found herself with time to relax. After Zhang Family was knocked unconscious and moved out of the small courtyard, even if she screamed her lungs out, Qiao Xiaomai wouldn’t hear a word. Her daily duties were to cook for Bei Lingsu and Tong Sanlang and to dry the herbal medicines.

Since Bei Lingsu was always running about and the gathered herbal medicines were unattended, Qiao Xiaomai took over the task. Following Lingsu’s detailed instructions on washing, trimming, and drying, she learned quite a bit about pharmacology in just a few days.

During this time, Tong Sanlang kept apologizing to her, repeating himself over and over and assuring her he would not commit the same mistake again.

But he never answered the question of whom he was really saving.

His lack of answer was an answer in itself for Qiao Xiaomai.
