Chapter 227 The Imperial Army Attacks

After hearing what Liu Xiangru said, Yao Zhi frowned and looked thoughtful.

Lin Miao originally thought that it would take a long time for her and Liu Xiangru to do ideological work, but she didn't expect Yao Zhi to slam the table and make a decision.

"My dear husband, I support you! Go ahead and do it without hesitation. Your benefactors must have carefully considered this. Besides, the Ninth Prince is obsessed with power and has no ability to govern the country."

Liu Xiangru was so moved that he stepped forward and hugged Yao Zhi and began to promise.

"Thank you, ma'am! Leave the training of the troops to me!"

Then Liu Xiangru turned around and asked Lin Miao an incredible question.

"Is there enough food and fodder in the north? I have some men at Yumen Pass that I'd like to bring over."

When he heard that he could bring his own soldiers with him after saving a general, Lin Miao immediately agreed with a smile.

"There's enough food and fodder, absolutely enough! Just look at the salad you just had.

Yes, it’s artificial meat. I plan to use it as military rations. What do you think?”

Even though he was already full, Liu Xiangru couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he thought of the bean curd sheets that had no trace of bean smell and were as delicious as real meat.

"You're really good then."

Chen Yuanzhen thought Liu Xiangru was sick again and started to be sarcastic and angrily criticized him.

"Why not? We've produced a lot of artificial meat just for this day!

Giving this to the soldiers is no better than eating dry rations. After all, soybeans are high in protein!"

Liu Xiangru was inexplicably scolded. He showed a rare honest expression and touched the back of his head, puzzled.

"I didn't say no. What I meant was that if you feed your soldiers this every day, you'd be truly amazing! I guess everyone in the world would recognize you as their master!"

Lin Miao was a little bit surprised and didn't understand why Liu Xiangru said that.

But after listening to his introduction to the three meals a day in the military camp, which were nothing but rye porridge and miscellaneous grain paste, with only two rye buns occasionally given, and meat only once every half a month, I suddenly understood.

No wonder, isn’t this the same effect as in the male-oriented novels, where the laborers who traveled back to ancient times to build the Great Wall eat braised beef noodles every meal?

These super-modern foods are rich in calories and will quickly capture the loyalty of all hungry people, making them willingly become the sharpest knives and the solidest shields.

Liu Xiangru sat for a while, and his whole body felt as if covered with thorns. He whispered to Yao Zhi for a while, then used his magical powers to prepare to return to Yumen Pass to collect the head.

Lin Miao was afraid that it would be difficult for him to escape if he went into danger alone, so he wanted to go with him, but was rejected.

"Don't worry, I've been leading soldiers at Yumen Pass for so long, there will be no problem.

Besides, the food here is so good, they are not stupid, they will definitely be willing to come."

After giving instructions to Lin Miao and Chen Yuanzhen, he asked them to prepare more food and fodder. He also suggested that it would be best to let the soldiers taste artificial meat at the city gate on the day he returned with his troops.

Seeing that Chen Yuanzhen and Lin Miao, who were protecting Yao Zhi, had agreed, Liu Xiangru felt relieved to use his magic power and rushed towards Yumen Pass at full speed.

Yao Zhi and the other two were left standing at the entrance to the north land, watching him go away.

Even after he could no longer see Liu Xiangru's tall figure, Lin Miao still remembered the good guy card given by the bull:

"I know you're a good demon. I, Liu Xiangru, have lived for 26 years and have never done anything bad. My wife is even kinder. Please protect her. I, Liu, am willing to serve you at my utmost."

Glancing at Yao Zhi, who was twisting a handkerchief in her hand and was also worried about Liu Xiangru, Lin Miao felt that it was okay. Fortunately, Liu Xiangru had been a woman for 18 years and her personality had basically been determined.

Otherwise, just because he is both a demon and a cold-blooded snake demon, Lin Miao really wouldn't dare to trust him wholeheartedly.

...

After waiting for two days, there was no news from Liu Xiangru. Yao Zhi stood at the gate of Beidi City like a wife-waiting stone, waiting for his return.

Apart from eating and sleeping, Yao Zhi spent all her time waiting, which made Lin Miao feel worried for her.

He even discussed it secretly with Chen Yuanzhen, planning to sneak out to see if Liu Xiangru had been captured.

But before Lin Miao could set off, he heard the woman who was farming outside the city running over in a hurry to report the news.

"City Lord, something bad has happened! It seems the imperial court is attacking!"

"What?! What happened?!"

Chen Yuanzhen and Lin Miao were both shocked. They comforted the woman who reported the news and asked her to explain the situation in detail.

The woman was working in the fields, covered in dust. She was trembling as she described,

"It must be the imperial army! There are so many people! I can't count them!

It's so dense, and there's even smoke! City Lord, what should we do?"

Chen Yuanzhen pretended to be calm and comforted the peasant woman, and after persuading her to leave, he could not stop shaking all over.

She grabbed Lin Miao's arm, at a loss.

"What should we do, sisters? Liu Xiangru didn't come back, and instead provoked the imperial army. We are completely unable to resist!

Damn Tu Su! Are you moving so fast? He has already imprisoned the throne, and now he actually sends troops to attack us! "

Lin Miao felt that there must be something wrong. If the imperial army wanted to attack the north, neither the troop deployment nor the news would be hidden. Why didn't they get the news in advance?

Also, Liu Xiangru had only been away for a few days, saying that he would return to Yumen Pass to lead his troops, but today someone saw a large army rushing towards them.

Lin Miao even had some doubts, could this group of troops be the labor force abducted by Liu Xiangru?

But she was not sure. If it was the imperial army, then she would be completely doomed!

After letting Chen Yuanzhen calm down, Lin Miao no longer cared about his image. He instantly used his magical powers to transform into a fox, and went to the front line in hiding to gather intelligence.

Lin Miao was extremely fast and arrived at the scene almost when the so-called imperial army was still more than ten kilometers away from the north.

And successfully took a bite of the melon.

Seeing the tall figure of the leader riding on the back of a brown-red horse, Lin Miao felt his teeth itching.

This Liu Xiangru! He caused such a huge blunder, and brought so many people back without even saying anything in advance! They were so scared that they thought the imperial army was coming!
