Chapter 641 - 641: Peerless Delicacies



Yu Niaoniao said, “Ask.”

Shen Xu looked at the two girls and coughed lightly. “Can we talk in private?”

Yu Niaoniao straightened the postures of Li Hongye and Li Xing’er and asked them to maintain them. Then, she said to Shen Xu.

“Let’s talk over there.”

They walked under a large tree beside the drill ground.

Shen Xu scratched his head and stammered, looking like he wanted to say something but did not know how to say it.

Seeing that he was in such a difficult position, Yu Niaoniao could not help but become serious.

Could it be that he really had something important?

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Shen Xu ask dryly.

“Can you farm?”

Yu Niaoniao was immediately stunned.

“What did you say?”

Since he had already said it, Shen Xu might as well go all out and pretend to be enl m

“It’s farming. Didn’t you grow up in the countryside? You must know how to farm.’

Yu Niaoniao was speechless. “Even if I grew up in the countryside, it doesn’t necessarily mean I know how to farm.”

“If you don’t farm, what will you eat?”

Yu Niaoniao was defeated by his young master’s thinking.

She explained patiently, “My family has some assets in Bashu. The fields in my family are rented out for others to plant. Besides, my family has a business other than fields. My stepfather is a calligrapher himself. Even if he has nothing, he can support a large family by selling calligraphy and paintings.”

Shen Xu understood. So the countryside people were not as poor as he had imagined.

He looked disappointed. “So you don’t know how to farm.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Although I’ve never farmed personally, I’ve followed my parents to the fields to play and seen how farmers farm.”

Shen Xu’s eyes lit up. “Then can you teach me how to farm?”

Yu Niaoniao thought that she had misheard and raised her hand to rub her ear.

“You want to learn to farm?”

Shen Xu was a little embarrassed. “Yes.”

Yu Niaoniao was puzzled. “Why?”

Although their lives were tough now, as the heir of the Prince’s Mansion, Shen Xu had been living in luxury since he was young. The word “farming” should not exist in his dictionary.

Shen Xu stammered, “I-I just want to learn. Teach me.”

Yu Niaoniao crossed her arms and said calmly, “If you don’t tell me the reason,

I won’t teach you.”

Shen Xu had no choice but to tell the truth.

“Tang Guixi asked me to farm, but I didn’t know how to. I came to ask you.”

As Yu Niaoniao looked him up and down, her tone was filled with suspicion.

“Why are you so obedient to Guixi? Tell me the truth. Do you have ill intentions toward her?”

Shen Xu denied it. “My father said that Tang Guixi’s words made sense and asked me to listen to her more.”

Yu Niaoniao was skeptical. “Is it really that simple?”

Shen Xu asked, “What else? Don’t let your imagination run wild. I just treat

Tang Guixi as my sister!”

Seeing that he refused to admit it, Yu Niaoniao could not ask further.

She continued on to the previous topic.

“Although I’ve seen others farm, I’ve never actually done it myself. I can only talk about it theoretically. If you really want to learn how to farm, you can consult them.”

With that, she raised her chin at the old men and women in the distance.

Shen Xu looked over and saw the uncles and aunties sitting together weaving straw shoes.

They were all ordinary people who had come to hide. Because they were old, they could not do heavy work. Usually, they could only make straw shoes and mend clothes.

In the past, Shen Xu would definitely not be able to bring himself to ask the commoners for advice.

But now that time had passed, he no longer had the capital to put on airs. He could only bite the bullet and walk towards the uncles and aunties.

Seeing this, Yu Niaoniao could not help but smile.

She returned to the drill ground and continued to teach Li Hongye and Li Xing’er archery.

They practiced for an entire day. When they returned, Niaoniao felt that her arms were very sore.

If she was like this, the conditions of Li Hongye and Li Xing’er must be even more serious.

Yu Niaoniao thought that they would rest for a day the next day, but when she arrived at the drill ground, she realized that Li Hongye and Li Xinger had been waiting there for a long time.

In addition to the two of them, there were more than a dozen young girls.

Yesterday, after Li Hongye and Li Xing’er returned, they told the others about learning archery from the County Princess. This made the other girls eager to try.

Hence, they were all here today, wanting to learn archery with him.

They did not expect to practice well. However, they had hopes that they could have a life-saving ability in this chaotic world.

To Yu Niaoniao, chasing a flock of sheep was the same thing.

So she agreed without much hesitation.

The day passed quickly.

The next morning, Xiao Juan and Tang Guixi returned with the Eastern Expedition Army.

Their surprise attack had been a complete victory. Not only had they destroyed the enemy’s camp, but they had also snatched all the food in it.

The morale of the entire army soared. The soldiers, whom they had not seen for a long time, got busy and kneaded the dough especially vigorously.

Soon, the fragrance of steamed buns filled the camp.

The soldiers sucked in their breaths hard as they drooled.

During this period of time, they had wild fruits and wild vegetables every day and occasionally added some wild animals. They had not eaten a proper meal for many days.

They could finally eat to their heart’s content today!

When the white steamed buns were brought out, the soldiers were so touched that they cried.

Even Prince Min and Shen Xu were no exception. They took a bite of the white and soft steamed bun and felt so happy that they were about to float.

In the past, they would not even look at such dry steamed buns.

But now, they really felt that white steamed buns were the best food in the world!

They could be said to be peerless delicacies!

Then, Tang Guixi waved her hand and sent a lot of food to the commoners living in the camp so that they could eat.

It was like celebrating the New Year. Everyone’s faces were filled with joy.

The haze that had suppressed everyone’s hearts for the past few days dissipated a lot.

After eating and drinking their fill, the soldiers slept soundly.

After everyone rested, Xiao Juan and Tang Guixi set off again.

This time they split up, but the goal was the same place— Xia Family Village.

This was the method provided by Yu Niaoniao. They would start with the Xia family village and attack all the villages in that area. Because it was only a small village, the Chen Nation would definitely not send many soldiers to guard it. The success rate of the attack by the Eastern Expedition Army would naturally be much higher.

After snatching back all the villages in that area, they would advance towards the nearest Heng City.

If they attacked step by step like this, they would be able to take back the entire Liaodong County sooner or later.

Knowing that the Eastern Expedition Army was going to take back the Xia family village, all the men in the Xia Family Village stepped out and volunteered to be the vanguard.

Hence, Xia Haisheng formed the captain of this vanguard team.

Relying on their familiarity with the terrain, they went through the forest and opened up a new route. The Eastern Expedition Army followed this route and approached the Xia Family Village without the enemy knowing..
