I am a woman, I am a man, I want to marry a wife so that I can farm

Compared to the joyous atmosphere in Yunzhou City, the situation on the side of Yu Army was not so good. The people sent by the National Master did not return for a long time, and the news brought back by the spies was not satisfactory.

Yunzhou was clearly hit hard by the epidemic, and the city gates had been closed. How could it recover in just half a month? And there was no news of any deaths, which was simply unreasonable!

How could the plague not kill people? !

He Chengfeng sat in the first seat with a gloomy face, and couldn't help but doubt the ability of this national teacher.

"Didn't the Imperial Master say that the rebels would not have an easy time this time? And this is the result? Ha!"

"What do you mean by that, General He?" The Imperial Master frowned and looked at He Chengfeng's sarcastic expression, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you dissatisfied with me in some way?"

He Chengfeng chuckled and said coldly: "Of course not, you are the military advisor appointed by the emperor, and you have much more power than me."

"Hmph! I will send someone to investigate this matter. The person who can cure the plague without any damage must have a master under Mu Heng's command!" The national teacher pondered and said, "If we can win this person over..."

Logically speaking, the rebel army was originally the Yu Army. Where could Mu Heng find such talented people to help him?

He Chengfeng was also startled, and suddenly someone came to his mind, "Master? Could it be him?"

The Imperial Master hurriedly asked, "General He knows who it is?"

"I am not sure, but this person is indeed quite knowledgeable about medicine. The high-concentration liquor disinfection method used in the army was developed by him, and his method has not been replicated by our military doctors until now." He Chengfeng said truthfully: "Moreover, this person is not only good at making medicine, but also a rare general. His ability to lead troops in battle can be said to be comparable to Mu Heng's."

The more the Imperial Master listened, the brighter his eyes became: "Isn't this kind of talent exactly what we need? Since he was once a subordinate of your General He, why don't you bring him over and use him for our purposes?"

He Chengfeng rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you think I don't want to? I'm afraid we can't win over this person."

"Why is that? People chase after profit. As long as we can give him something he can't refuse, I don't believe he won't be tempted!" The national teacher said with a determined look. Which of the talented people who followed him didn't have high aspirations? Weren't they all recruited by him?

He Chengfeng was speechless: Could it be that this old man is too successful and has never fallen?

"Song Minghao once offended him, but I did not punish Song Minghao." You can figure out the rest yourself, He Chengfeng said as he looked at him leaning back in the chair.

The Imperial Master choked, "Didn't the guy from the Song family die later?"

He Chengfeng nodded: "Indeed, this general doesn't know what happened. He was fine when he returned to the barracks, but he died on the way back to Beijing."

"Anyway, the person is already dead, there is no evidence, so what can you say is up to you."

He Chengfeng: "......"

Ye Ze was riding his horse at full speed on the way back to the border town when he suddenly felt a tightness on his back. He subconsciously turned slightly to the side and stretched out his hand. A hidden arrow was firmly caught between his two fingers.

Ye Ze suddenly pulled the reins of the horse. The horse raised its front hooves high, raised its head and neighed, then gradually stopped.

There was a piece of paper tied to the tail of the hidden arrow. Ye Ze untied the paper and casually threw the hidden arrow behind him.

The hidden arrow flew a hundred meters, passed through the middle of a tree trunk, and hit the heart of the person hiding behind the tree. The person was so shocked that his eyes widened, and his body fell to the ground uncontrollably, dying with his eyes open.

After Ye Ze finished reading the contents on the note, he tore it into pieces and then turned his horse's head to look at the person he had just shot.

Whoever dares to shoot an arrow in Ye Ze's back must die!

The man lying on the ground was wearing a dark grey coarse cloth shorts with his sleeves tied with loops. His palms were broad and rough, with the calluses between his palms particularly obvious. It seemed that he must have practiced martial arts for many years.

Ye Ze took out a token from the man's waist, looked at it several times, but he had never seen it before, so he put it away first.

After dealing with the corpse, Ye Ze mounted his horse again and headed for the border town. No one could disrupt his steps to go home for the New Year! This was earned by his military merit!

Ye family

The family has already started preparing New Year's goods in advance. This year's New Year is more lively than last year. Not only will the Zhao family celebrate together, but the Mu family and the Meng couple will also be invited. Of course, the more New Year's goods prepared, the better.

Lin, Chen and Liu were busy in the kitchen, steaming buns, steamed rice cakes, frying meatballs, frying crispy pork, and pickling bacon and fish, etc. These alone were enough to keep them busy for several days.

Old Mrs. Ye helped to take care of the little grandson, while Zhou had to look after Daya and Zhao Cheng, two troublesome children. The task of going shopping was left to the sisters Zhao Li and Zhao Guoer. There were a lot of things to buy, including fabrics for new clothes for the whole family, dried fruits and snacks, etc.

Mrs. Meng took several children from the family to set up a table in the yard to write couplets. Each child had to write one by himself. At this moment, each of them was thinking hard and writing with his pen.

The eldest and second Ye brothers cut bamboo from the mountain and wanted to make lanterns by themselves. Zhao Qian had nothing to do, so he helped chop firewood.

By the 30th day, all the work is almost ready. The women are gathered together to make reunion dumplings, and the whole family is welcoming the New Year with great enthusiasm.

My only regret is probably that I’m worried about the men in my family who are serving in the army. I wonder how they celebrate the New Year over there.

Thinking of Ye Ze, Zhao Li felt a little depressed and her dumplings-making movements slowed down.

Just then, someone knocked on the gate outside.

When Boss Ye opened the door and saw that the person coming was Ye Ze, he was so surprised that he didn't know what to say, "Third brother? Why are you back? Come in quickly."

"Big brother."

Ye Ze handed the reins to Ye Lao Da and asked him to move the horse to the stable in the backyard, while he strode into the front yard.

"Uncle?"

"Uncle, you're back?"

"Uncle..."

"Sister, brother-in-law." Zhao Gong called out somewhat unnaturally when he saw Ye Ze.

Ye Ze Dang couldn't tell, so he just responded with a smile.

In the living room, Old Lady Ye and the others all came out after hearing the noise. After another round of asking about each other's well-being, Ye Ze and Old Lady Ye went into the living room and sat down together.

Ye Ze came back with a mission. When he saw Zhou, he took out Zhao Youliang's letter from his arms and handed it to her, "Mom, this is a letter from my father. He's doing well over there, don't worry about him."

"He still remembers to write back?" Zhou quickly took it. The thin envelope contained deep longing for his family.

Zhao Guoer couldn't help but snatch the envelope and said, "Mom, what did my dad write? Let me read it to you."

"Huh?" Zhou wasn't paying attention and the envelope was snatched away by Zhao Guoer.

Zhou couldn't try to snatch it back, so she could only helplessly let Zhao Guoer read out the contents of Zhao Youliang's letter in front of everyone.

Fortunately, there was nothing embarrassing in the letter. Zhao Youliang's letter was very simple, asking everyone to be safe and not to worry, to have a good time during the New Year and not to be reluctant to spend money.

And then, it was gone.

Although the letter was short, knowing that he was safe was enough for Zhou. However, Zhao Guoer couldn't help complaining, "Dad is too boring. Every time he writes a letter, it's no more than three sentences..."

"These two sentences are enough. What could be more important than knowing that your father is safe? Don't you think so?" Zhou folded the letter again and put it back into the envelope and put it away.

Zhao Guoer nodded thoughtfully: It seems so.
