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

Chapter 1394: Chapter 1193: Guard Team Arrives_1 Chapter 1394: Chapter 1193: Guard Team Arrives_1 Someone from Capital City?

Tong Sanlang and Qiao Xiaomai immediately stepped toward the doorway. Had the person sent by Yang Wenxiao arrived so quickly?

The army was divided into several types of troops and had to carry provisions and other materials; no matter what, they could not be fast, so how did these people arrive so quickly?

These people naturally arrived swiftly; they were the Guard Team handpicked by Yang Hao after spending more than a day at the Military Camp for Qiao Xiaomai. They traveled day and night nonstop, reaching here at the greatest speed.

Ren Zhong led the team here, and upon seeing Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang, he was quite excited and hastened to inquire about Tong Sanlang’s injuries.

“It’s nothing serious anymore. A few more days of rest and I’ll be fine,” Tong Sanlang said looking at the two hundred people behind Ren Zhong, puzzled, “What is this…?”

Seeing his reaction, Ren Zhong immediately turned his head to look at Qiao Xiaomai.

Qiao Xiaomai was also somewhat baffled; each person in this group was tall and had handsome features–they couldn’t be more conspicuous standing together. What was going on?

Did Ren Zhong bring such a group over intending to win this battle with good looks?

Seeing that both husband and wife appeared clueless, Ren Zhong couldn’t help but feel a beat of unease in his heart. Could the letter given to Yang Wenxiao have been not written by Qiao Xiaomai?

He ventured tentatively, “Miss Qiao, the letter…”

Qiao Xiaomai tilted her head, “Letter?”

“In the past few days, the retired emperor received a letter,” Ren Zhong said.

“I wrote it, right? I sent a letter to his highness.” Qiao Xiaomai replied.

Hearing this, Ren Zhong caught the calm demeanor on Qiao Xiaomai’s face and couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions. He glanced at Tong Sanlang, who still looked confused, and could not resist looking down, avoiding eye contact with Tong Sanlang, “This is a reply from the retired emperor.”

Qiao Xiaomai “…”

Her peach-blossom eyes suddenly went round with shock. “What?” she exclaimed.

Ren Zhong wished he could bury his head underground as he whispered faintly, “This is a reply from the retired emperor to you; this is your Guard Team, selected from the Imperial Guards and the Divine Crossbow Team, reliable individuals, indeed. From now on, they will be responsible for your safety, obeying only your commands, you…”

He pursed his lips, coming to a halt.

Yang Wenxiao’s phrase, “Choose whoever you like,” he really couldn’t say it out loud!

And that too in front of Tong Sanlang, who was looking totally unaware. Oh dear!

He didn’t want to stay a moment longer!

But he was a loyal subordinate, and Yang Wenxiao’s orders he would certainly relay without omission. Gritting his teeth, he continued in a voice as quiet as a mosquito’s buzz, “Choose whoever you like, and if you don’t like any, then you can choose again after returning to the Capital City.”

After saying these words, he immediately turned his back to Tong Sanlang and looked towards the two hundred Guard Team members, commanding, “Greet Miss Qiao.”

At his command, two hundred people saluted in unison, their voices thundering, “We greet Miss Qiao!”

Almost every person shouted at the top of their lungs; the collective voices of two hundred men truly reached the skies, sending a painful reverberation through the eardrums.

Qiao Xiaomai unconsciously frowned upon the cacophony, but she quickly snapped back to attention, her face still in utter disbelief. She turned to Ren Zhong, “He’s not angry with me?”

Hearing this, Ren Zhong turned back around, his gaze fixed on his toes, “He said you’ve been wronged. Not only did he send people, but also many pieces of jewelry and clothing. The jewelry and clothing are being brought by the main force and will be seen in a few more days.”

“His highness’s exact words were: ‘Xiaomai need not worry about public opinion; I will stand in the way of any spit and slander. Let her do as she pleases; however, she stirs things up is fine.’

Qiao Xiaomai “…”
