The Rise of a Farm Girl

Wang Jingru and her companions settled down in the military camp. Originally, women were not allowed to enter the military camp, but Wang Jingru was an exception. She was the Princess Jingru of the current dynasty.

Yu Wenhua didn't want his niece to worry about the war, so he didn't tell her anything and let her wander around the town not far from the military camp.

Xuanyuan Lei had also fought on the battlefield, so now that he was in the military camp, of course he had to participate.

Xuanyuan Lei was very tired every day. The wars on the border were becoming more and more frequent, with two battles taking place every day.

The Tianqi Kingdom did not gain any advantage. There had been no war in the Dayu Dynasty in recent years, and the treasury was still relatively full. The soldiers were well fed, and the country could be said to be strong in both military and military power.

The war became more and more intense, and the people were very scared and panicked. The rich people had already driven their carriages and left the nearby cities.

The soldiers of Tianqi Nation have been injured more and more in these wars. They seem to be resting these days and have not challenged anyone.

Yu Wenhua saw that the other side did not come to provoke him, and he breathed a sigh of relief. The next step was to rest and recuperate, let the injured personnel recover well, give everyone some good food, and reward the soldiers.

For a whole week, there was no movement from the other side. Yu Wenhua felt it was strange, and Wang Jingru felt it was even stranger.

Wang Jingru had a feeling that the other side was going to do something bad. So she found her uncle. When Wang Jingru came, Yu Wenhua was looking at the topographic map. When he saw Wang Jingru coming, he hurried to entertain her. Didn’t Jingru go out for a walk today?

After sitting down, Wang Jingru said very casually, "It's such a small town, I've already had enough of strolling around."

I didn't leave because I was very worried that the other side would do something bad. The Tianqi Kingdom likes to use poison, and I'm worried that they will use poison and loneliness on us in this war. There are all kinds of strange things, and we can't defend against them.

Yu Wenhua also sighed after listening to Wang Jingru. I also know that the other side is good at using Gu poison, but no one on our side is proficient in Gu poison. Even if we are poisoned, we have no way to deal with it.

Wang Jingru said that this time my grandmother asked me to bring the disciples from Medical Valley.

He is not only proficient in medicine and poison, but also in Gu poison. He will definitely be able to help my uncle.

Yu Wenhua was very excited when he heard this. In the early years of the war, his grandfather would also send disciples from the Medical Immortal Valley who knew poison to help him. Otherwise, he would not have won every battle in these years.

However, the situation of this war was very urgent, and there was no time to transfer disciples who were proficient in poison from the Medical Valley.

After hearing this, Yu Wenhua could no longer sit still, and hurriedly asked Wang Jingru to lead the way to find the disciples of Yixian Valley.

The disciple from the Medical Immortal Valley who came this time was called Bai Qi. Wang Jingru hurriedly led her uncle to the tent where Bai Qi was resting.

Bai Qi was very excited and nervous when he saw the general coming to see him in person.

The general and Bai Qi talked for a while, and then they patrolled the military camp. The first thing they inspected was the food, and then the water source.

Even though they checked thoroughly, they still found symptoms of poison in some soldiers within a few days.

Although the water source was checked, the water that the soldiers drank was taken from a river not far away. The water was flowing, so it was useless even if it was checked. If there was no poison at the time, it would be difficult to detect if it was poisoned later.

The soldiers showed symptoms, and Bai Qi hurried to check. This time Bai Qi was helpless as the poison was extremely powerful.

Bai Qi put some blood of the poisoned soldiers and studied it in the tent. He studied it for a whole day and night but still couldn't figure it out.

Bai Qi was so anxious that he was sweating all over. After just one day and one night, his mouth was full of blood blisters.

Wang Jingru took out a cup of spiritual spring water from the space and gave it to one of the soldiers who was poisoned to drink. It is said that this spiritual spring water can cure all poisons.

After about a quarter of an hour, the soldier spat out a mouthful of black blood with wriggling worms in it.

Wang Jingru hurriedly called Bai Qi to check. Bai Qi checked the soldier on the spot and then checked the soldier again. The soldier was miraculously cured and the poison had been eliminated.

After asking, I found out that it was Wang Jingru who gave him a glass of water. Wang Jingru saw Bai Qi scratching his head anxiously and didn't want to keep him in suspense.

He led Bai Qi back to the tent and took out a bucket of spiritual spring water. Bai Qi scooped a cup and drank it. It tasted very sweet. After drinking the spiritual spring water, he felt refreshed all over.

Bai Qi asked Wang Jingru, Princess, where did you get this water? Wang Jingru said, I got this water by accident before. This water can be diluted, one cup of water can be added to one bucket.

Please ask Uncle Bai to go back and experiment and see how much can be added to a cup of water so that it can be useful to the soldiers and can detoxify the poison.

Bai Qi did not want to delay for a moment. He carefully carried a bucket of spiritual spring water back to the tent, began to add water, and gave it to the soldiers to drink. Within a day, all the poison on the soldiers was cured.

Although the poison has been resolved, we still haven’t figured out what’s in the water?

No matter how much he studied it, he couldn't figure out what kind of potion it was. Even if Bai Qi racked his brains, he couldn't figure it out. This water came from Wang Jingru's space and was called Lingquan Water.

The poison has been resolved, but the danger is still not over because no one knows what other tricks the Tianqi Kingdom has up its sleeve.

But Wang Jingru was never one to suffer a loss, she planned to go deep into the enemy camp to see if she could burn the enemy's food and capture the enemy's generals.

Wang Jingru planned to go alone, but Xuanyuan Lei disagreed, and Yu Wenhua disagreed even more.

But no one could defeat Wang Jingru, and finally Xuanyuan Lei and Yu Wenhua formed a united front, and Xuanyuan Lei and Wang Jingru went to the enemy camp together.

At one o'clock in the middle of the night, the two men lowered a rope from the top of the city gate and sneaked into the enemy's camp.

Inside the enemy's camp, Wang Jingru toured the entire camp and found the warehouse where food and fodder were stored.

Wang Jingru used smoke to knock out the soldier guarding outside the granary. She asked Xuanyuan Lei to guard outside, took the key of the warehouse from the soldier, opened the warehouse, and walked in.

Wang Jingru quickly put the food and grass into her own space. There were a total of ten granaries, all of which were put into Wang Jingru's space.

The two came to the stables again, where rows of war horses were neatly arranged, which made Wang Jingru jealous. Wang Jingru asked Xuanyuan Lei to guard the front, and she put all the war horses into the space. There were hundreds of war horses, and there might be thousands of them.

After collecting the war horses, Wang Jingru, feeling satisfied, walked forward with Xuanyuan Lei.

Wang Jingru and Xuanyuan Lei came to the commander-in-chief's tent again. They heard voices and candlelight inside. It seemed that the enemy's Jiang Ling was still awake. The two of them put their ears close to the ground to listen to the movement inside.

I heard the two people inside say that the poison we put on them was easily detoxified by the other side. It seems that there is someone on the other side who can detoxify the poison.

Do we need to give them another wave of more powerful poison?

I think it's useless to play in the next wave, and the opponent will solve it. Don't you have a puppet Gu in your hand?

Tomorrow I will ask someone to poison their generals. You control the general on the opposite side, make him come out to surrender, open the city gates, and welcome our soldiers.

As long as they open the city gate, we will all attack the city and kill them all.

Their general was poisoned, and they were leaderless. Before the soldiers and generals could react, we had already captured the city. By then, it was too late even if we could react.

Another person said, but I have practiced this Gu for a long time to get such a Gu insect. If I fail, I will die if it backfires.

How could it backfire on you? The general said, wait until our side attacks the city, and you control the poisonous insect and let it crawl out of the opposing general's body.

After hearing this, Wang Jingru wanted to rush in and give him two big slaps, but she had to endure it because she had to avenge this.

She had to put these two bastards into the space and torture them. She could not tolerate them plotting against his uncle.

Wang Jingru blew a confusing smoke into the tent. This confusing smoke came from the Medical Immortal Valley. It was colorless and odorless and was difficult to detect.

So the smoke blew into the tent and the two men didn't notice it. Within two minutes, they fell to the ground. The soldiers guarding outside heard the noise and wanted to go into the tent to check. They also said to the inside, "General, is there anything wrong?"

There was no sound from inside, and the two soldiers became suspicious. When they were about to go in to check, they were knocked unconscious from behind by Wang Jingru and Xuanyuan Lei.

After moving the two people to a hidden place, Wang Jingru asked Xuanyuan Lei to guard outside while she went inside and took the two people into the space.

After they had dealt with the two men, they set a huge fire in the enemy's camp, which was so big that the flames shot up into the sky.

The soldiers in the barracks ran out of their tents one by one, throwing away their armor and helmets, without even having time to put on their clothes. The scene was in chaos, with ghosts crying and wolves howling. Some people were sleeping soundly, their clothes were burned, and they rushed out shouting.

Everyone was looking for basins and buckets and ran to the river to fetch water to put out the fire, but it was all in vain. Distant water could not quench immediate thirst. The water source was far away from them to begin with. They carried a few basins of water back and forth without fear, as the tents here had already been burned down.

The soldiers quickly realized where their general was and whether the granary was also on fire. The soldiers then ran towards the granary, but when they arrived, they were all dumbfounded.

The granary was empty, not a grain of food was left. When I went to the general's tent, I found no one there.

The soldiers were all panicked. Without the general, they were leaderless. They were at a loss, and the most important thing was that they had no food.

What would a hundred thousand soldiers eat and drink? Their next batch of food and grass would not arrive until half a month later. In this half month, the hundred thousand soldiers would starve to death.

Although there were other generals, they had no ideas. It was useless even if they had ideas. Without food, even a skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice. Not to mention that there were so many people who needed to eat.

Some of the 100,000-strong army had their clothes burned, and they stood naked in the autumn wind, shivering with cold.

They had no shelter, no food, no clothes to wear, and their weapons were gone.

The general's subordinate, Lieutenant General Zhang, sent several soldiers to the nearest town and asked them to find a way to deliver some food and clothes.

He also asked the soldiers to write letters and send them by carrier pigeons to the palace as quickly as possible.

These soldiers didn't even have weapons, so there was no need to think about going to war. Recently, the county magistrate in the city racked his brains to get some food and clothes and sent them to the military camp.

It was only enough for the soldiers to eat for two days, and even for these two days, the county magistrate had plundered all of the county.

In order to prevent the soldiers from starving to death, Lieutenant General Zhang only gave them thin porridge for every meal, and then mixed some wild vegetables into the porridge.

That was how it was. It would take ten days or half a month for the imperial court to deliver the food. Deputy General Zhang was very worried and could only lead his soldiers to dig wild vegetables nearby, find wild fruits in the mountains, and hunt some prey.

The soldiers were listless every day and just barely managed to survive.

Let’s talk about Wang Jingru. She looted horses, food, and weapons from the enemy.

He found a place closest to his barracks and a secluded place to put the things out. He asked Xuanyuan Lei to go back and ask the soldiers to move the things.

When his uncle came with the soldiers, he laughed happily when he saw so many supplies and ordered the soldiers to transport them back to his camp quickly.

When the soldiers saw so much food, horses, and weapons, their blood boiled with joy. With so many things, they would surely be able to defeat the enemy.

The soldiers were busy working, quickly moving things into the barracks.

Yu Wenhua returned to the camp and kept praising Wang Jingru for her ability. My eldest niece is amazing. In just a short while, they used the enemy's horses to drag all the food back.

I, Yuwen Hua, have fought for so many years, but I never thought of stealing the enemy's things for my own use. Jingru is really amazing. This girl Jingru is a lucky star. She added so many things to the military camp as soon as she arrived.

It has greatly boosted the morale of our army. Given the enemy's current situation, our army should seize the opportunity to pursue the victory and defeat them completely.

To prevent them from sending weapons and food to us and then fighting with us. After Yu Wenhua finished speaking, Xuanyuan Lei said, I think the general is far-sighted.

Why don’t we make some plans now and start dealing with the enemy forces tomorrow evening?

When two armies confront each other, there is no mercy. It's either you or me. We'll kill you while you're still sick, so we have to act quickly.

Then Yu Wenhua and Xuanyuan Lei called the generals in the army to discuss the battle plan.

Wang Jingru didn't care about all this. She was not very familiar with fighting, so she went back to her room, took a shower and went to bed.

Wang Jingru slept until noon, got up, stretched, washed up, and went to the canteen of the military camp. The old soldier who was cooking in the canteen had already warmed the rice in the pot, waiting for Wang Jingru to come and eat.

He heard that it was because of Princess Jingru that their military camp received a new batch of food, and this food came from the enemy army opposite.

Princess Jingru was a great hero in their hearts. They must serve her well. The general also asked their kitchen to prepare more meat dishes for Princess Jingru.

Wang Jingru took a look and thought the food cooked today was really delicious, so she casually asked, "Has the food in the military camp been improved today?"

The old soldier, the stoker, said, “No, it was made specially for you, the princess, on the orders of the general.”

Wang Jingru took the food and returned to her tent. Before leaving, she told the veteran that my meals would be the same as those of the soldiers in the barracks, and there was no need to prepare them specially for me.

The old soldier nodded perfunctorily. Wang Jingru saw it and said very seriously, "I wouldn't eat it even if you made it on purpose."

I just need to eat the same thing as the soldiers. If the soldiers can eat it, why can't I? They are fighting on the battlefield and don't have such good treatment, so how can I get special treatment?

The old soldier's eyes became red after hearing this. Princess Jingru was so nice, she was worthy of being the general's niece.
