After becoming an animal, I also have to farm

Liu Xiangru, who had been arrogant and domineering and looked like he wanted Lin Miao to explain everything, seemed to have his soft spot pinched and his arrogance immediately subsided.

He complained to the carriage helplessly,

"Madam, you are always so partial to outsiders. You don't even know if they are good..."

A gentle yet firm female voice came from the carriage, and she issued a concise and clear instruction.

"You need to lift the restrictions and let me out. You're so stubborn, you're going to offend everyone."

Lin Miao stood on the ground, watching the couple bickering with interest and eating the melon with gusto. Chen Yuanzhen next to them also had a face full of curiosity.

She whispered to Lin Miao secretly,

"Oh, this general is also henpecked. Doesn't that mean we can bring our wives to command the general?"

Chen Yuanzhen felt that her voice was very soft, but she didn't know that Liu Xiangru was a demon.

After hearing that someone wanted to harm his wife, he immediately glared at Chen Yuanzhen.

Lin Miao waved his hand without hesitation, interrupting his sight of stabbing someone.

"That's right. We saved you and your wife because we wanted you to do something for us. You should repay us for saving our lives, right?"

Liu Xiangru gritted his teeth when he heard this, but under his wife's repeated urging, he reluctantly opened the carriage barrier and released a peerless beauty.

When Lin Miao and Chen Yuanzhen saw the general's wife, their eyes almost popped out.

Liu Xiangru suddenly felt that his treasure was being coveted by others, and he was unhappy. He dragged his broken body forward to block the three women from meeting.

The general's wife, who was wearing golden soft armor on her upper body and a pink horse-faced skirt on her lower body, pushed Liu Xiangru aside.

Then he smiled and bowed to Lin Miao and Chen Yuanzhen.

"Thank you both for risking your lives to save me. Yao Zhi expresses her gratitude on behalf of her husband, Liu Xiangru. May I know your names?"

Chen Yuanzhen stared at Yao Zhi's upper body clothes without blinking, and suppressed the hands that were about to stretch out.

"My name is Chen Yuanzhen, but it wasn't me who saved you. It was my good sister. Look, she was the one who saved you."

Yao Zhi's gaze followed Chen Yuanzhen's outstretched hands to Lin Miao, his face filled with confusion.

"Sister? Sister?"

Chen Yuanzhen was still struggling with the question of whether the golden soft armor on Yao Zhi was made of real gold. He then realized that Yao Zhi had pointed out his blind spot, and quickly changed his mind.

"Ah, sorry, I said the wrong thing. It was my grandmother who saved you!"

Instantly, everyone's eyes turned to Lin Miao, and Lin Miao had to pretend to be calm, pretending to be an old lady.

"Well, old but still strong, who says old women are inferior to men, right?"

Yao Zhi was completely convinced. She pulled Liu Xiangru, who was still holding his head high, to kneel down in front of Lin Miao.

"Thank you for risking your life to save me. Yao Zhi is extremely grateful. If I can be of any service to you, please do as you wish!"

After Lin Miao reacted, he exchanged glances with Chen Yuanzhen and exclaimed that he had miscalculated.

I thought to myself that if I had known this earlier, I would have transformed into a younger body. After all, it sounded outrageous for a 60-year-old old woman to challenge a team of officers and soldiers alone.

Not only did he repel the demon hunter, he also successfully rescued the general and his wife. What would happen if such a bizarre story were to be spread?

Perhaps noticing Lin Miao's discomfort, Yao Zhiji skillfully changed the subject and introduced himself to Chen Yuanzhen and the others.

After chatting for a while, the three women seemed to have found their long-lost confidants and were eager to kneel down and become sworn brothers.

The carriage that Yao Zhi took when he escaped was installed with restrictions and modifications.

Now the three of them hit it off immediately. Yao Zhi warmly invited Lin Miao and Chen Yuanzhen to get in the car, and urged Liu Xiangru to go to the front to drive the car.

Lin Miao knew that Liu Xiangru's true form was a demon, so he was not worried about Liu Xiangru who looked very miserable. However, Chen Yuanzhen, who was kept in the dark, was full of worry.

"Madam Yao, is it okay for your husband to drive a carriage when he's so badly injured?"

Yao Zhi raised his hand to lower the curtain of the carriage, and comforted Chen Yuanzhen with a smile on his face.

"Don't worry, he won't die. He's in good health and has a straightforward temper, like a bull. He can make people angry to death without any regrets."

Seeing that his wife had spoken, Liu Xiangru was willing to follow Lin Miao and the others back to the north.

In fact, Liu Xiangru was unwilling to do so. He even used a villain's heart to guess the gentleman's mind, and said clearly that Lin Miao and Chen Yuanzhen must have some ulterior motives.

But Liu Xiangru is a henpecked husband, so when Yao Zhi makes a decision, how can he have the right to interrupt?

No matter how reluctant they were, they had to tuck their tails between their legs and obey orders, driving the carriage steadily towards the north.

After staying with the escort team for two nights and traveling for two days, the group finally saw the familiar building.

After bidding farewell to the guards at the city gate, Lin Miao and others returned to the City Lord's Mansion.

Chen Yuanzhen called a doctor to bandage Liu Xiangru's wound, and then went with Lin Miao to entertain Yao Zhi.

They have been eating dry food these days. Even though they have instant noodles that can be eaten by just soaking and mixing them in hot water, their mouths are tasteless after not eating meat for a long time.

Lin Miao and the other two had a cup of tea and several plates of snacks in the reception room before waiting for Liu Xiangru, who had changed his clothes and arrived late.

Looking up at Liu Xiangru, who was wrapped in a cloth on his chest but looked lively and energetic, Lin Miao felt that the doctor who had just bandaged his wound must have wanted to say something.

Fortunately, the general came back quickly, otherwise the wound would have healed completely!

Seeing him fawningly begging for food and drink next to Yao Zhi, he suddenly felt that it was unnecessary for Chen Yuanzhen to invite a doctor for him.

Because before, they had spent almost all their energy on getting on the road, and they didn't communicate much on the road. They were even more afraid that there would be pursuers following them.

Now that they had arrived at their destination, in the relaxed atmosphere of conversation, Lin Miao finally understood why Yao Zhi and Liu Xiangru were hunted down here by the imperial court.

It turned out that the imperial court had suddenly launched a campaign to hunt down demons. Many demons, both big and small, were either recognized or reported by their colleagues, and were subsequently captured and killed.

Lin Miao was a little puzzled at the time. Logically speaking, a monster that had become an official in the imperial court should be able to control its own nature. How could he be suddenly strangled to death?

Liu Xiangru slammed the table hard and angrily told the whole story.

"It's all because of that damned Ninth Prince. He used the troops he got from his mother's clan to put the emperor under house arrest!"

Chen Yuanzhen was stunned while eating the snack. She asked,

"How could this be? Where are the imperial guards guarding the city? Where are the emperor's secret guards? How could a prince seize power?"

Liu Xiangru was quite clear about the major events in the court, but he knew nothing about the power of the aristocratic families. It was Yao Zhi who explained it to him clearly.

“The Ninth Prince’s mother’s family is one of the six great families, and they are the most powerful among the current imperial factions.

Now, a demon hunter who was invited from nowhere has killed all the demons who supported the prince!"

Lin Miao gasped at the words. He hadn't expected this brat, Tu Su, to actually have a back-up plan! This man-loving world must have arranged this for him, right?!

The more I think about it, the angrier I get. This world really is just a huge Edinburgh!

Tu Su's identity is so legitimate, and there are so many forces supporting him. It seems that it is not an easy task to overthrow him and support Chen Yuanzhen to take the throne.

But it doesn’t matter. The more challenging the task is, the more eager and impatient Lin Miao becomes.

As long as you don't let her support a man, everything will be fine!
