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

Chapter 1724: Chapter 1723: Don’t Delay, Let’s Fight

The opposing commander of Daqi is Yang Ye. Tong Sanlang and Bei Lingsu hold no formal positions and are considered his assistants, though both can directly mobilize troops.

Daqi has brought only eighty thousand soldiers this time, whereas the Three Kingdoms have three hundred thousand. Facing eighty thousand against three hundred thousand, Yang Ye has pinned his hopes on Tong Sanlang and Bei Lingsu.

Especially Bei Lingsu. Since the opposing side has Bei Yun as a menace, this war is essentially a contest of poison—let’s see who is more ruthless. That’s why he and Tong Sanlang have been studying various poisons and antidotes lately, trying to learn as much as possible.

When they received the provocations of Prince Qingye from the opposite camp, the three were quite astonished.

Selling Floral Dew to this camp?

Qingye must be doing this on purpose!

This is a deliberate act to disgust them!

“No way!” Yang Ye said angrily.

This is a war, not a business exchange. One hundred taels per jar, a thousand jars costing a total of ten million taels—they don’t have that much silver.

Moreover, given Bei Yun’s history of sending “gifts” before, Yang Ye has decided to reject anything coming from the opposing side.

“But if we don’t take it, will he target Xiaomai?” Tong Sanlang said worriedly.

Qiao Xiaomai must have been forced to make Floral Dew, and luckily she can produce it, which is why she’s safe for now. But if this side doesn’t buy the Floral Dew, then Qingye might find Qiao Xiaomai useless and stop giving her current treatment.

“Don’t worry; with Bei Yun around, he won’t let Xiaomai suffer. He needs the Floral Dew Xiaomai makes,” Bei Lingsu comforted him.

Yet this reassurance didn’t ease Tong Sanlang’s anxiety. Bei Yun is an unpredictable beast; no one knows what depraved act he will commit next.

Even though Qiao Xiaomai suggested asking Lady Gu for the Divine Liquid, Bei Yun hesitated—which shows that the beast doesn’t sincerely want to cure the strange poison within him.

If that monster refuses to detoxify himself, then Xiaomai’s safety can’t be guaranteed.

“But even if we wanted the Floral Dew, where could we find ten million taels of silver?” Yang Ye asked.

He came to lead eighty thousand troops into battle, not to lug around a treasury. There’s no way they can afford the Floral Dew.

“We could bargain,” Tong Sanlang suggested.

Yang Ye replied, “…Then you go.”

And Tong Sanlang actually went. Concerned for Qiao Xiaomai’s safety, but knowing they couldn’t shell out ten million taels, he set off to discuss the matter.

Upon hearing Tong Sanlang’s concerns, Qingye suggested he go to nearby Prefecture Cities to gather silver—or gold if silver was unavailable. Other valuables like gemstones or treasures would also suffice; Qingye would accept anything valuable.

What he really wanted was the sight of Daqi’s people, frustrated yet compelled to compromise and negotiate under his thumb.

“I need to inspect the goods first,” Tong Sanlang demanded.

“Of course you can. These jars were personally crafted and sealed by your lady—my soldiers haven’t tampered with them at all,” Qingye replied, ordering his men to bring ten jars.

He left them freely for inspection.

Tong Sanlang called Bei Lingsu over, and right there, they opened the jars to examine them. The color, scent, and quality were identical to what Qiao Xiaomai had produced before.

Even Bei Lingsu couldn’t detect any traces of poison added within.

Could Qingye truly just be aiming to make money?

“You’ve inspected the goods already. Now hurry and gather the funds,” Qingye urged.

Tong Sanlang and Bei Lingsu exchanged glances and left the Floral Dew where it was, returning to the Daqi camp.

“Gather funds for what? Are we here for a trade fair or a war? Let’s fight already!” Yang Ye snapped at the mere mention of gathering funds, irked by the hassle.

The terrain here is treacherous, unfit for carts or horses. Traveling to Prefecture City to gather funds, then navigating back with treasures—if Qingye pulls some tricks in the process, all that effort could be wasted.

“Don’t delay any longer. Let’s fight!”
