After becoming an animal, I also have to farm

As soon as Liu Xiangru and his 10,000 soldiers entered the northern territory, he keenly sensed that something was wrong.

wrong!

When he left, there was clearly a presence of 40,000 troops outside the city, so why are there so few now?!

Realizing that nearly half of the soldiers had left the north, and that a war must have broken out, Liu Xiangru felt the hot blood rushing to his forehead.

He casually assigned a general and asked him to lead the newly recruited soldiers to the military camp to find General Jin, while he himself used his demonic power and ran towards the city madly without hesitation.

Yao Zhi! Nothing must happen to his wife!

But as soon as he stepped into the city, feeling the scene passing by, he was filled with a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, which made Liu Xiangru completely confused.

Strange, wasn't there a war going on? Why wasn't there any tension in the city? Not even a single alert was put in place.

With a heart full of doubts, he rushed to the City Lord's Mansion. When he saw the familiar figure, Liu Xiangru's eyes suddenly became hot. He couldn't wait to shout,

"Yaoyao, I'm back!"

Yao Zhi, who was originally using a brush in his right hand and an abacus in his left hand, heard Liu Xiangru calling him and suddenly looked up at the source of the sound.

His face was filled with so much surprise that he couldn't contain it, and he didn't even care about the ink dripping onto the account he had just calculated.

Yao Zhi stood up and threw himself into Liu Xiangru's arms. After quickly examining him, he asked a series of questions.

"You've been away for so long, have you managed to recruit any soldiers? Are there any injuries? What's the current situation at the court? Are there any unusual movements?"

Liu Xiangru was very pleased with Yao Zhi's extraordinary concern. The corners of his lips slowly curled up and almost reached the back of his ears.

First, he replied to Yao Zhi softly.

"Of course I'm fine, no one's injured. The soldiers are already outside the gate. I saw that the army has been reduced a lot, so I was worried that something happened to you, so..."

However, before Liu Xiangru could finish his words, Yao Zhi suddenly pulled his arm out, and said something as he walked away.

"Since you're all set, go to the north and support the Immortal Master! The Xiongnu are attacking with monsters and have blown up two coal mines. I'm afraid the Immortal Master can't handle it, so go and help!"

When Liu Xiangru learned the truth about Yao Zhi's concern for him, his smile froze on his face. He turned back reluctantly.

"Don't you care about your man at all? You pushed me out as soon as I got back and asked me to help other women?"

Yao Zhi saw Liu Xiangru being jealous regardless of the situation and thought he was just weird.

"Have you become stupid as a man? You didn't act like this when we were sisters! Stop talking nonsense and quickly support the Immortal Master!"

Liu Xiangru pouted angrily and left the City Lord's Mansion reluctantly.

But he did not rush north, but turned back to the military camp outside the city.

He was still complaining as he walked,

"Humph, you led such a large army to fight the Huns, but you are still a monster. If you can't even defeat this, what kind of man are you?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong.

Well, Lin Miao is not a man, she is really a woman!

Because Lin Miao was not in the city, there were no monster brand surveillance cameras. Chen Yuanzhen waited for the soldiers at the city gate to report, and only then did he know that Liu Xiangru had brought back an army of 10,000.

Trying hard to recall the process from last time, Chen Yuanzhen was busy directing people to bring a large iron pot, coal and ingredients, preparing to go outside the city to cook a big pot of rice.

After all, this is the first meal for these soldiers since they surrendered to the north. Although it cannot be prepared very sumptuous, it still needs to show their economic strength.

Meat is a scarce resource and it is impossible to have enough of it anywhere in the Sheng Dynasty, but the North can have enough artificial meat that is similar to meat but not meat!

They set up a stove, fetched water to boil, cut vegetables and cooked soup, and then gave each soldier lined up a bowl of hot artificial meat and lard soup.

Chen Yuanzhen arranged for people to make soup. He was very satisfied to see the soldiers drinking it up. The more he watched, the more worried he became about Lin Miao who was going north to fight against the Huns.

She prayed secretly in her heart that her good sister Lin Miao would return safely!

If it really doesn't work, wait for her to feed these new soldiers first, and then lead people north to provide support.

But before he could put his idea into practice, Chen Yuanzhen was pleasantly surprised to find that a cloud of dust was rising from the galloping army in the far north of the city.

They’re back! It must be Lin Miao and the others!

Chen Yuanzhen screamed with excitement in her heart, but pretended to be calm on the surface, and boldly guessed that it must be Lin Miao who returned triumphantly with his troops!

She couldn't wait any longer, so she told the cooks to make the soup and hurried north.

But after running a short distance, he remembered that he would definitely not be able to run as fast as Lin Miao who was riding a horse, so he waited for Lin Miao at the north gate with eager eyes.

The dark crowd of people came closer and closer, and when they became clearer, Chen Yuanzhen saw the leader who looked out of place at first sight.

She was clearly an old woman with gray hair and a slightly hunched figure, but she was riding on the back of a mighty wolf and walking at the front of the entire team.

In addition to the soldiers following behind, Chen Yuanzhen also noticed a group of white sheep?

Suddenly, I was puzzled. Didn't Lin Miao go north to fight against the Xiongnu? Why did he bring back a bunch of sheep that were huddled together like cotton?

As the distance got closer, Chen Yuanzhen couldn't wait to rush towards Lin Miao, and suddenly, the two of them hugged each other tightly.

"That's great, sister... As soon as I got the news, I rushed over immediately. Grandma, are you all okay?!"

Lin Miao nodded proudly.

"Not only did we defeat the Xiongnu and recapture all the coal and salt mines in the north, but we also got back 3000 sheep as compensation. Look, the wild wolves helped drive over several hundred cattle!"

This trip was a complete victory. Lin Miao was in high spirits and told Chen Yuanzhen about the spoils he had obtained.

Chen Yuanzhen was overjoyed to learn that Lin Miao was not injured and the army did not lose too many soldiers. He took Lin Miao's hand and wanted to go back to the mansion to have a good meal to celebrate.

Looking back at the soldiers behind him, each holding the spoils they had collected on the battlefield, although they didn't say anything, Lin Miao knew that a celebration banquet was necessary.

So she secretly reminded Chen Yuanzhen,

"We won the battle and brought back spoils. You should reward everyone according to their merits!"

Chen Yuanzhen reacted and realized that Lin Miao was building momentum for her. Even if she didn't understand, she couldn't ignore the countless pairs of longing eyes.

After racking his brains for a while, Chen Yuanzhen cleared his throat and announced loudly,

"To the soldiers going out to battle today, each will be rewarded with a bowl of mutton soup! Plus two large pancakes! For the rest of you who are not going out, just have a bowl of mutton soup to share in the good luck!"

All the soldiers who heard the announcement cheered in unison. Chen Yuanzhen realized that he had said nothing wrong and felt relieved.

Meeting Lin Miao's admiring eyes, Chen Yuanzhen suddenly blushed. Coupled with the nervousness just now, her whole body was now full of adrenaline, and her brain was completely blank.

Seeing her like this, Lin Miao jokingly pulled her to the official Cao who was in charge of recording military merits, and asked him to count all the soldiers who bravely killed the enemy today, and then hold a meeting the next day to reward them according to their merits.

Then Chen Yuanzhen was asked to instruct the cook how many sheep to kill for the soldiers to make soup, and what side dishes to prepare.

Managing supplies is Chen Yuanzhen's old trade, and she knows exactly how much grain there is in the north.

However, Chen Yuanzhen felt a little distressed when he was calculating how many sheep were needed to be slaughtered for a mutton soup banquet for an army of 10,000.

Lin Miao poked Chen Yuanzhen's arm and motioned her to look at Liu Xiangru who was standing nearby watching the fun.

Chen Yuanzhen reacted immediately as if he had found a savior, and excitedly told Liu Xiangru,

"General Liu, you've been commended for recruiting soldiers. You'll be responsible for tonight's mutton soup banquet! Let's celebrate together!"

Liu Xiangru was watching the fun with a piece of grass in his mouth when he was tricked by Lin Miao. He weighed the additional burden on his shoulders.

He was so angry that he glared and bared his teeth.

"Hey, can you two stop trying to get me? She's leading troops out to fight, what does that have to do with me?"

Chen Yuanzhen didn't even bother to argue with him, and directly threw out a killer move,

"Mrs. Yao said she wants to eat hot pot tonight. My grandmother and I will prepare the side dishes. If you can arrange it quickly, you can come and eat with us!"

When Liu Xiangru heard that it was about his wife, knowing that he would suffer this loss, he felt as if he had been hit in the vitals. He gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Okay, I'll do it! But you have to make sure my wife has something to eat!"

Chen Yuanzhen looked at Liu Xiangru as if he were an idiot and retorted,

"You don't need to tell me that. Everyone has to eat the prepared dishes, so they must be arranged!"

Liu Xiangru: ...

Liu Xiangru was frustrated and wanted to say a few more words, but when he heard the soldiers calling him from behind, he had to swallow all the words in his mouth and turned around to deal with the matter.

Chen Yuanzhen and Lin Miao smiled at each other, and then they walked into the city arm in arm.

"Let's go! Let's celebrate! We'll have a hot and spicy hot pot tonight!"

"Great! I hope we can get better and better!"
