MTL - Hot Farmer’s Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm

   Chapter 337 337 Is the mistress a man?

   After walking for almost a day, I learned about the situation in Hanshan Town.

   At night, because of exhaustion, Lin Xiaoyue finally slept better.

   Next day, night.

   After dinner, Lin Xiaoyue put the two soup ladies brought by Xiao Er on the bed.

   was about to fall asleep when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

  Lin Xiaoyue's expression changed.

   "Who?" asked outside the door.

   "Mother, Cheng An asks to see you." Cheng An's voice was deliberately lowered from the door immediately.

  Lin Xiaoyue quickly went to open the door.

   Sure enough, I saw Cheng An and the two people who followed behind Cheng An.

   "Come in!" With a happy face, Lin Xiaoyue hurriedly welcomed the three of them into the room.

  Yes, the two people behind Cheng An are the Manager Fang and Manager Liang that she has been waiting for.

   Before dinner, she didn't wait for the two to come. She thought they would arrive tomorrow, but she didn't expect to arrive at night.

   Several people saluted Lin Xiaoyue before talking about the situation.

   said that things were basically done.

   "All the towns mentioned earlier have already been staffed to receive the brothers of the Chiwu Army."

   "And even if the connection fails, the brothers of the Chiwu Army can go directly to the local restaurant named after 'Liang'."

   "Go directly to the back kitchen yard and find the person in charge of the back kitchen. The back kitchen leaders and shopkeepers of each restaurant have received orders and will act according to the orders."

  Lin Xiaoyue looked solemn.

   "There can be no accidents, the connection must be successful." Shen said.

   Shopkeeper Liang hurriedly saluted Lin Xiaoyue.

   "Don't worry Lin Dongjia. I have already confirmed with all parties. If these people still want to sit in their current seats, they will not be careless and omission."

   looked at Lin Xiaoyue, "The matter of letting the Chiwujun brothers take the initiative to find someone will definitely not happen." With that, there were beads of sweat on Manager Liang's forehead.

  Lin Xiaoyue looked at Director Fang.

   Seeing Director Fang nodding to himself, he did not continue to struggle with this step.

   "Treasurer Liang, sit down and talk. Don't take offense. It is really a matter of great importance at this time. If you are not careful, not only the Chiwu Army, but also Liang's firm and the prince may be in danger." Lin Xiaoyue said.

   "Yes." Manager Liang wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat back.

   Lin Xiaoyue asked again when shopkeeper Liang was in better condition.

   "How are the boats going by water?"

   Overland, she is not really worried. What worries most is the three thousand people who walk by water.

   Shopkeeper Liang stabilized his mind and saluted Lin Xiaoyue again.

   "I came here in a hurry, just to tell Dong Lin about this."

   "Because the ferry in Hanshan Town is too small, there are too many fishing boats coming at once, and I'm afraid it will be eye-catching. Therefore, I ordered the fishing boats to dock at the ferry port in Hanshan Town tomorrow night."

   Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue didn't speak, Manager Liang continued: "There are six fishing boats in total, all of them are big boats. It is not a problem to arrange five hundred people on each fishing boat!"

  Lin Xiaoyue looked at Director Fang again.

   Seeing Director Fang nodding to himself, he relaxed a little.

   asked some other information about shopkeeper Liang, and then asked Cheng An and arranged for shopkeeper Liang to go down to rest.

   Then, when Cheng An returned, Lin Xiaoyue discussed the next arrangement with Cheng An and Director Fang.

After   , he wrote a letter to Li Xiao and asked Cheng An to pass it on.

   In the middle of the night, in the tent of the Chinese army.

  Li Xiao finally received a letter from Lin Xiaoyue.

   After reading the contents of the letter, a touch of emotion flashed across the man's eyes.

   "How is it, what did the cousin say? When can we retreat?" Henry Zhang couldn't wait to get to Li Xiao and asked Li Xiao.

  Li Xiao put away the letter.

   suppressed the emotions in his heart and glanced at Henry Zhang lightly.

   "What's the hurry? It's not time yet." Shen said.

  The fishing boat will arrive after midnight tomorrow night, and there is still a whole day before the evacuation.

   The more they got to the last minute, the more they needed composure.

   Henry Zhang's face instantly collapsed.

   glared at Li Xiao and walked away.

  Li Xiao's mouth couldn't help but rise.

   Then, he sighed and began to think about the next arrangement.

   Tomorrow night, we will start the arrangement after nightfall to avoid attracting the attention of the court army next to us.

   Then activate it at the moment, and after rushing back to Hanshan Town, just take a fishing boat to leave...

   After thinking about it, Li Xiao took out the pen and paper and replied to Lin Xiaoyue.

After    handed it over to the messenger, Li Xiao returned to the couch and lay down.

  The deceased is like this, reluctant to give up day and night.

   In some people's nervousness, it was finally nighttime the next day.

   At this time, in the Chiwu Army camp.

  The soldiers had just had dinner, and Mr. Xu, Vice-General Wang and six thousand commanders finally received the news.

  The eight people soon secretly went to the central army tent.

   in the big account.

  Li Xiao sat in front of the handsome case with a serious expression.

   Henry Zhang stood down, and his face could not be concealed with joy.

   He really did not expect that the surprise would come so suddenly.

   Cousin actually told him just now that tonight was the time for them to evacuate.

   is finally leaving, escaping this icy border.

   After a while, important figures in the army came one after another.

   When everyone was there, Li Xiao didn't say anything unnecessary, just told the situation directly.

   "There are a total of 600 sets of cotton-padded coats, which will be distributed later, so that the soldiers can get ready."

   "Activate after Zi Shi, and after reaching Hanshan Town, retreat in three ways."

   "Henry Zhang, you lead 1,500 people to evacuate to the northwest. Along the way..."

   "Lieutenant General Wang, you lead 1,500 people to evacuate to the southeast. Along the way..."

  Li Xiao explained to everyone the coping situation arranged by the towns along the way.

   "The rest, follow me to board the boat and leave by water." Then he said.

   "Yes!" Everyone quickly clasped their fists.

   "Besides, the wounded—" Having said this, Li Xiao's brows furrowed.

   He intentionally let the wounded go by water and go with him.

   But the waterway is more dangerous, and it will be more difficult to evacuate with the wounded.

   "Uncle Wang and I are half of each other!" Henry Zhang took a step forward and clasped his fists at Li Xiaodao.

   "Yes! Forgive that Liu Laogui didn't dare to chase us. It should be easier to evacuate by land!" Vice Admiral Wang followed.

   "We have to distinguish the wounded, and arrange the seriously wounded together. At that time, the old man will follow the seriously wounded team, and it is also good to take care of it." Mr. Xu followed.

  Li Xiao was silent.

   After a while, he looked up at everyone.

   "The wounded do not need to be separated, and the team will be evacuated with Deputy Wang. Mr. Xu will go with you." Shen said.

   "Yes!" Vice-General Wang and Mr. Xu immediately responded with clasped fists.

   Henry Zhang was unwilling, but didn’t say much.

   "Also, among the 1,500 people who joined Henry Zhang in the vanguard army, the number of people who are lacking will give priority to the selection of good soldiers." Li Xiao continued.

   Henry Zhang's complexion changed.

   "No! Just assign me 1,500 ordinary soldiers!" Immediately said.

   Vanguard Army, that is the elite of the Chiwu Army. Give it all to him, what about the others?

  Also, the remaining number of people, let him choose the best skill, this... cousin is too partial to him...

  Li Xiao frowned.

   "You lead 1,500 people to the rear of the final hall. After reaching the Eagle Cliff, block the enemy for an hour before retreating." Shen said.

   "So, are you sure you only want ordinary soldiers?" asked Henry Zhang.

   Henry Zhang's complexion changed.

   Facing everyone's ridiculing eyes, he quickly clenched his fists at Li Xiao.

   "Let the vanguard and good skills!"

   "Henry Zhang leads the order!" He said quickly.

   Li Xiao glanced at Henry Zhang and didn't waste time on this matter.

   Then, he told everyone about the precautions for retreat and the follow-up arrangements.

   "The news does not need to be communicated by the entire army, but only to the ten commanders. After they are broken down into pieces, the ten commanders will hide with their soldiers, and with the cooperation of Liang's firm, they will rush to Qingshi Town."

   "In addition, you must also inform the ten captains that you must cooperate with the arrangement when you arrive at the Liang's firm."

   "In order to avoid attracting the attention of Zhou's Yaxing, the time of sending them off will vary. It may even be delayed in March of next year at the latest. You must be patient." Li Xiao continued.

   "Yes!" Everyone quickly responded.

  Li Xiao said some more before letting everyone down.

   After a while, Mr. Xu brought someone into the tent and removed the pile of cotton-padded clothes in the tent.

   He didn't ask much about these cotton-padded clothes that suddenly appeared.

  Anyway, it can be useful, and this is a good thing.

Outside the    large tent, the pieces of goose feathers snow fell even more happily.

   On the Chiwu Army camp, there were whispers in the camps.

Although the    soldiers were the same as usual, they were still patrolling the station in an orderly manner, but all of them had tacit expressions on their faces.

  Finally, when the time was approaching, the generals of the army once again gathered in the tent of the central army.

   At this time, Li Xiao had already changed into a battle armor, although it was only the kind worn by ordinary sergeants, but due to his height and physique, plus a long sword attached to his waist, he looked like a **** of martial power.

   Soon, Li Xiao pulled out the sword from his waist and led a few people out of the tent.

   At this time, he realized that the sergeants of the Chiwu Army were already standing in the snow outside.

   When the soldiers saw Li Xiao, they knelt down on one knee, silently expressing their respect.

  General, their general is back! Come back and take them out in person!

  Li Xiao looked serious, raised the long sword in his hand, and quickly walked towards the camp.

  The soldiers quickly followed.

   The team of five or six thousand people went out of the camp quietly.

   The whereabouts were not discovered until passing by a camp that blocked the road where the imperial army was stationed.

  Li Xiao stepped forward first and cut the throat of the two soldiers who were shouting and reporting.

   Then, the Chiwu Army swarmed up and quickly cut the throats of the patrolling soldiers to death.

   Facing the sound from behind, Li Xiao didn't stop there, "Go ahead at full speed and rush to Hanshan Town!" said solemnly.

   Next, the Chiwu Army no longer controlled the sound and rushed forward.

   After walking for a while, we finally arrived at Eagle Cliff.

  Yingya, between the border station and Hanshan Town.

  The land of the sky is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

   was also chosen by Li Xiao as the ideal ambush location to prevent the imperial army from pursuing it.

After    arrived at Eagle Cliff, Henry Zhang and the 1,500 people he led stayed behind.

   Buy time for those who evacuate ahead.

   Soon, Henry Zhang, who stayed in Yingya, confronted the imperial army.

  Because Henry Zhang's people took the lead in occupying a high position, and there were many sharpshooters under him, the court army quickly lost a lot of people.

   At this time, Lin Xiaoyue and others were anxiously waiting at the ferry crossing in Hanshan Town.

   Lin Xiaoyue still felt cold on her body even though she was wearing a padded coat.

   Check the time in the space ring from time to time, and as time goes by, the mood gradually becomes anxious.

   Finally, she suddenly heard the ground shaking.

   Then, I saw Cheng An running quickly from the intersection in front.

   "Mother, yes, it's the master who is back!" Cheng An said breathlessly as she quickly ran back to Lin Xiaoyue's side.

   Lin Xiaoyue raised the corner of her lips.

   looked towards the intersection, and soon saw the tall man with a sword.

   Besides Li Xiao, who else could it be?

  Li Xiao was urging the soldiers to speed up.

After    turned around, he saw Lin Xiaoyue.

   Then, there was wind under his feet, and he ran towards Lin Xiaoyue.

   It was so cold that I only wore a cotton coat. I really don't know how to take care of myself!

   Thinking in his heart, Li Xiao took Lin Xiaoyue dressed as a servant into his arms.

   When the soldiers saw this, many of them almost dropped their jaws.

  This...what's the situation? Their general is holding a man?

   The three commanders were most puzzled, because they knew that their general had married a wife.

   And the mistress is very good, prepared medicines and cotton-padded clothes for them, and even helped them arrange evacuation.

   Seeing this situation, the three thousand commanders frowned a little, and they didn't look at Lin Xiaoyue very well.

   But right now, the matter is urgent, and they can't help the mistress to seek justice. They can only arrange the soldiers to board the ship according to the general's instructions.

   After a while, Li Xiao let go of Lin Xiaoyue.

   "Follow me." With that, he pulled Lin Xiaoyue with his big hand and walked towards the three commanders who were commanding the soldiers to take off their armor and board the ship.

   "General!" One of the captains quickly noticed Li Xiao's arrival and turned to salute Li Xiao.

   The other two also turned around quickly.

   "I have seen the general!" He bowed and saluted Li Xiao.

   "No gift."

   The three thousand commanders got up.

   accidentally saw Lin Xiaoyue standing beside Li Xiao and held by Li Xiao.

   There was a burst of amazement in my heart.

   No wonder they were fascinated by their generals, this little white face is really handsome.

   But they were amazed, but the three of them didn't have a good impression of Lin Xiaoyue.

  The mistress was so kind to the Chiwu Army, of course they had to go to the mistress.

   No, they have to find a chance to persuade the general.

  The mistress is such a good woman, the general doesn't cherish it, what's the point of cherishing a little white face?

   No matter how good this little white face looks, it is still a little white face.

   "Cough, this is my wife." Li Xiao coughed lightly, and then there was a hint of smugness in his tone.

   The three thousand commanders looked surprised.

What? lady?

  So, they misunderstood before?

   Actually, the general's wife is this little white face?

   hehe! What little white face? Madam is their benefactor!

   "I saw the mistress!" Although there was still some struggle in his heart, a commander had already saluted Lin Xiaoyue.

   "I have seen the mistress!" The other two commanders also saluted.

   Lin Xiaoyue had a smile on her face.

   "The three of you don't need to be polite, please get up." He said.

  's crisp and pleasant voice made the hearts of the three of them tremble.

female? !

   Then, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

   "Thank you, Mistress!" The three responded and quickly got up.

   Then peeked at Lin Xiaoyue again.
