Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Xiao Lan was silent for a while, then asked, "If this is accomplished, can I get military merit?"

"No, you are a girl. There has never been a female general in our Daqi Dynasty." Shen Liu said.

What Shen Liu said was true. In the past hundred years, there has indeed been no female general in the Daqi Dynasty.

"Then how is the general planning to commend me?"

"I heard that your family has grown wheat in our Liaodong Prefecture, and the yield is not bad. I estimate that there will be a large number of people following suit next year. It is said that this is your idea. After this is accomplished, I will recommend you to be an agricultural assistant or something. It shouldn't be a problem." Shen Liu replied.

Xiao Lan's eyes lit up when she heard this. The lowest rank of agricultural official was the eighth rank, so her family would immediately enter the officialdom. Moreover, agricultural officials only assisted in the management of local agricultural affairs and only had to report to the government office on time. They did not have to stay at the government office all day like other officials. The more Xiao Lan thought about it, the more she felt that if this matter was accomplished, she would get good benefits and it would be a good deal.

After a little effort, the bicycle turned into a motorcycle. "Can the credit be given to my father? My father is better at farming than I am." Xiao Lan asked.

Shen Liu thought about it and agreed. It would be hard to convince people that a teenage girl was appointed as an agricultural official. If her father was appointed, it would save a lot of trouble. Besides, the girl was right. Although it was her idea to plant wheat, it was her father who led the people to work. It was not impossible to let her father be the agricultural official. "Okay, but you have to think carefully before you go on the mission. The swords are blind on the battlefield, and anything can happen. Whether you can come back alive is another matter."

Xiao Lan naturally knew how dangerous the situation was, otherwise, Shen Liu would not have offered such a big benefit to lure her. "Don't worry, it's just a cold arrow to the Jin's base. It really won't kill me. In this mountain, no one can kill me. But let me make it clear in advance, I am only responsible for connecting the Jin and Tang soldiers, and I don't care about anything else."

He Mingyu was scratching his head. When he heard Xiao Lan say this, he immediately said, "That's what I need. How many people do you need?"

"Three will be enough, but the clothes, arrows and knives must all be of the Tang Dynasty style and with Tang Dynasty markings," Xiao Lan added.

"No, what if you run into the Arab soldiers? Wouldn't you be exposed if you use such a knife? I will give you half of this arrow without any mark. You can use it to shoot anyone."

Xiao Lan then discussed the time and number of people for the action with He Ming. After the plan was finally finalized, she had time to drink some tea and eat the snacks on the table.

"I can follow you, but I'm worried about the situation at home..."

"Don't worry about that. I guarantee that your home will be the same when you return as it was when you left."

Only then did Xiao Lan leave with peace of mind.

"General, this little girl is not simple." He Mingyu said with emotion.

That's right, the little girl could understand all the military terms they used, which made him sigh. She was still a little girl. If she was born a boy, it would be a matter of time for her to achieve great things.

Later, he thought of the little girl who killed the Hu soldiers and saved Shen Liu. Later, Shen Liu checked the little girl's background and found out that her family and the whole village had fled to the city. The little girl and her uncle had killed many Hu people. He was amazed at that time.

After communicating with Xiao Lan today, he found that he didn't understand her at all. Although she had traveled with him to many places to do business, he didn't know that in addition to being able to make money, the girl also had military talent.

A spy who can say the most powerful thing is not hiding from being discovered, but standing there and everyone thinks it is a matter of course. This sentence is very consistent with Shen Liu's philosophy. Shen Liu shook his head. If this little girl joins the army, she will be much better than doing business now.

"Before Xiaolan goes on the expedition with you, send a few people to protect her family, so that they can do things for you wholeheartedly." Shen Liu said.

"The August Festival will be here soon, so our family must celebrate it well this year." Zhang said with a smile.

"Let's live a good life. Our family is complete and whole. We won't trade it for anything." Shen responded with a smile.

Xiao Lan looked down at her toes and said, "I may not be able to make it back for the holiday..."

Zhang thought she had misheard, and said with a smile while doing needlework, "Where are you going? If you don't come back..."

"Master He and I are going to Xingyuan Prefecture for something..." Xiao Lan thought for a moment and said, "When I'm away, you must keep the doors closed. If there is anything, wait until I come back..."

"Why are you going to Xingyuan Mansion again? Didn't you go there with Lord He a while ago?" Zhang thought her daughter was going to Xingyuan Mansion to do business again, so she reminded her, "Be careful on the road. Follow Lord He. There are entourages protecting you on the road. I am relieved."

"But how can we get to Xingyuan Prefecture at this time?" Zhang wondered.

The August Festival is one of the most important festivals of the year. It is also a reunion festival. During this festival, relatives usually rush home to celebrate this festival. But Xiaolan is going to Xingyuan Prefecture with Lord He this time. Although Zhang knows that her daughter is going to trade to make money, she is still reluctant to let her go.

"It doesn't matter if I earn less money. The life our family leads now is such that I can wake up smiling even in my dreams. I'm very content." Zhang said.

Xiao Lan couldn't possibly tell Zhang her true intentions. First, this military operation was confidential. If any of it was leaked, they wouldn't be able to get their horses back, and they might even lose their lives. Second, she didn't want Zhang to worry. Her mother would be upset easily if she had something on her mind. Rather than letting her worry about her all the time, it would be better for her to know nothing.

Seeing her daughter lowering her head, Zhang asked, "My daughter, when can you come back?"

"We'll be able to be back by the end of the month at the latest." They launched the attack on the 15th, from Xingyuan Prefecture to here. Even if something unexpected happened on the way, there would be enough time to return before the end of the month.

"Then we'll wait for you to come back and give you more delicious food. You just need to return safely before the end of the month." Zhang said.

Xiao Lan smiled and hugged Zhang's arm, saying, "Mom, don't worry, I will rush back as soon as possible and will definitely be back before the end of the month."
