Chapter 331: The Speaker Is Sincere, The Listener Is Interested

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Aiya, he’s so ruthless! No matter what, you’re brothers who went through life and death together.”

How is it? Is it sinister enough?

The speaker was thoughtful, but the listener was interested. This was because there were indeed many people from the First Prince and the Third Prince’s gang among the captives. They could not help but complain and suspect as they reminded themselves not to be bewitched.

Rong Yan tapped Xiaoxiao’s head in amusement. “Naughty!”

Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue and admitted honestly that she would dare to do it again.

She poured all the dehydrated vegetables and broth cubes into the soup. Who could stand that fragrance?

Xiaoxiao generously called a few deputy generals over to try it too. These few people were even more interesting. They sat in front of the captives with their bowls and ate happily.

The captives were so hungry that their eyes were about to fall out. However, these Great Xia soldiers carried fragrant noodles and insisted on swaying the bowls in front of them before putting them into their mouths. They were simply heartless!!!

Actually, everyone only had a bowl of noodles, but it made the deputy generals feel the noodles were inexhaustible. The captive Xiongnus were already dizzy from hunger. Now, they were completely hung up on negative energy and still could not eat anything. However, he heard everything the Great Xia people said about the second prince not caring about their lives.

Xiaoxiao dared to guarantee that even if these people could return to Xiongnu alive in the future, less than 10% of them would not be at odds with the Second Prince.

The Xiongnu was really afraid of being beaten up and did not dare to play any tricks on the exchange of captives. When Rong Yan brought people to deal with this matter, Xiaoxiao finally decided on the types of plants to plant at the border.

The geology here is severely sandy, vegetation is scarce, and there is a lack of water and food.

However, this situation was actually a vicious cycle. The drier it was, the harder it was to grow crops. The less green it was, the more serious the sand would become. In the long run, this place would slowly become a dead land.

Only the soldiers and commoners here knew the hardship of guarding the border. They did not live well and did not eat well. They even had to be harassed by outsiders. It was really miserable.

Xiaoxiao used a shovel to push back the sand that had been dug out and went to carefully tidy up the shelter. Yun San, who had been following her all the way, asked hesitantly as she helped, “Miss, can you really plant it?”

Xiaoxiao wiped the sweat off her head with her sleeve. “Give me three months and I’ll return you a miracle!”

Yun San couldn’t help but laugh. Miss really knew how to tell jokes. There had been nothing but wind and sand for so many years. What could she change in three months? However, he still didn’t say anything in front of Miss.

At such a young age, the girl was already willing to follow them to the border for the sake of the country. What was wrong with playing with mud with her for a few days?

However, Yun San felt that it was inappropriate when he saw the sweat on her forehead. “Miss, why don’t you rest first? I’ll find someone to help.”

Xiaoxiao clapped her hands. “Good idea. Then help me spread the news that I’ll pay them to farm. I can give them money or food as remuneration. If they plant them well, I’ll give them seeds for free when I collect the goods.”

Yun San:… Miss, you’re quite confident?

Initially, Yun San thought that it was Miss’s first time trying to plant it and it was just a small test. It was only when he really followed Xiaoxiao’s instructions and prepared it that Yun San realized in shock—how generous!

Xiaoxiao chose an empty space not far from the military camp. The reason was that the light intensity here was just right, and the salinity of the soil and the depth of the groundwater happened to meet her needs. In order to prove the credibility of her words, she specially took out a book with the words “You Reap What You Sow” on the cover.

Yun San took a look at the handwritten copy and looked at the author’s signature. It was Anonymous again. He began to be curious. “Who is this Anonymous? Why is he involved in everything?”

Xiaoxiao shrugged. “Who knows? He’s probably a very powerful person.”

Yun San looked at the vast experimental field and went to report to Rong Yan worriedly. How could the latter dampen Xiaoxiao’s interest? More importantly, he had a mysterious confidence in Xiaoxiao. “Do you still remember what you said when you found out that the Ning Family planted new rice seeds?”

Yun San thought for a moment. “Would it be good if it was planted in the best quality land?”

Rong Yan nodded and said, “When Xiaoxiao is successful in a few months, we’ll definitely feel that it’s a pity that we weren’t bold enough today and the fields weren’t wide enough.”

Yun San realized that Master had never considered that Miss would fail. Rong Yan even said, “I told you long ago that you’re Xiaoxiao’s guard from now on. Listen to her orders. If there’s a next time, I’ll remove you from the Yun Guards.”

Yun San shivered and hurriedly admitted his mistake seriously.

With the thought of redeeming himself, Yun San did this very quickly. In less than four hours, he had already found more than 20 commoners nearby who were interested in working.

Most of the people at the border were poor, but those who could live in such a harsh environment were all diligent people.

Actually, they did not care much about Xiaoxiao’s wild wish to farm. As long as they could exchange for food, they would work anywhere.

Before they started working, the rules had to be set. If anyone did it nonchalantly, they would definitely be fired. Just as Yun San was seriously explaining the things to take note of, Xiaoxiao was facing away from everyone. She pressed her hand on the ground and closed her eyes—she wanted to try to do something.

Her consciousness sank into the space, and Xiaoxiao’s attention landed on the water and farmland in the space. She had tried to move the seedlings out of the space along with the soil, and she had also successfully collected the surging river water. Then-

Taking a deep breath, Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and moved her palm away. She noticed that the area covered by her palm was clearly different from the rest of the soil—Success! Although it was only a small portion, she could move the soil out of the space and secretly water it with the water in the space!

The space told her: [As my level increases, Master will be able to operate the space more and more meticulously. It’s not impossible to move me out entirely in the future!]

Aiyo, she was enticed. Xiaoxiao asked: [What’s your score?]

The space report: [Current space level is 22. Total points are 65,680. Master, we’re so rich.]

Opening a shop and having a franchise was the wisest decision Master had ever made!

However, Xiaoxiao propped her chin on her hand and pretended to be deep in thought. [The points are alright, but I still want to get rich. Sigh, I’m really a woman who doesn’t know how to be satisfied.]

Space: […]

When Xiaoxiao and the space worked hard, the ground shook slightly. Xiaoxiao looked over from afar and saw the rolling dust raised by the hooves in the distance.

The conditions at the border were really poor, but even so, the Emperor of Great Xia had never thought of giving up on this place. No matter how poor it was, it was still Great Xia’s territory. However, someone did not think so.

For example, the Crown Prince, who was “rushing” to the border city under the heavy protection of the guards.

“Your Highness, the sun is shining brightly at the border. Why don’t we travel at night so that we can reach the border city earlier…” Yesterday, a staff member with a conscience made such a suggestion. He was very worried that if they delayed too long, it would affect the delivery of food and the soldiers in the border city. He wanted to urge His Highness the Crown Prince to set off early and hurry on his way. However, his worry could not change His Highness’s decision. They still waited until dawn before setting off under the scorching sun..
