The Story of a Destitute Noblewoman Farming

In the south, Lu Linlang thought about it and felt that she had to take action personally in this matter. Only her brothers Yunyi and Uncle Zhong knew that she was in contact with He Yue, and no one else knew.

Moreover, the amount of food they needed was not just one or two thousand kilograms, so someone had to go there personally. She was not confident in letting anyone else go.

"Sister, have you really decided to go buy food yourself? This is too dangerous. I will go with you." Yun Yi was a little worried after hearing her plan. Although her sister had gone on a long journey once, Daqi was at least safe at that time. Now there are many victims of the disaster outside. She was afraid that people would know if she brought food with her.

"But I'm not confident leaving this matter to others, and General He has also sent people to me. As long as they buy the grain, they will transport it to the northwest themselves, and I won't need to escort them. I plan to take people with me."

"Then my cousin must arrange someone with strong martial arts skills to protect you. You don't have to worry about me at home, but you must pay attention to your safety when you go out." Guan Ling knew that it was even less likely that she would go with them, but she was still a little worried.

"Sister, why don't I go with you? I can fight Uncle Zhong and the others on equal terms now. I will protect you." Lu Zhan was worried.

"Yes, sister, Lu Zhan and I will go with you. We can protect you." Yun Can also said. His martial arts skills are comparable to Lu Zhan's, and both of them have a talent for martial arts.

"Haha, the little girl is really smart. She can even make such a powerful weapon. Miss Lu, come and see, Yangchun is really talented. She made this thing by following me."

Taoist Zhang's laughter reached the house, and he shouted loudly outside the door, his voice full of pride.

Lu Linlang was about to speak when she heard Taoist Zhang's voice and opened the door. She heard that Yangchun had been following Taoist Zhang in refining elixirs recently. Yangchun had always been interested in Yunxi's research on identifying iodine. Later, after watching Taoist Zhang refining elixirs, she followed him every day and listened to him talk about the methods of refining elixirs. As time went by, the two of them often whispered to each other.

"Master Zhang, Yangchun, what did you make?" Lu Linlang was curious when she saw the box Yangchun was holding.

"Hehe, this girl Yangchun is quite capable. I taught her once, and she can actually make a smoke bomb. Just throw it on the ground and it will cause a delay. It's really a must-have for long journeys. If there are bad guys, just throw this and they will run away without a trace."

Hearing that there was such a powerful thing, everyone came over curiously to take a look. Taoist Zhang then took out one and demonstrated it to them.

Taoist Zhang threw the smoke bomb in his hand, and a burst of smoke instantly burst out on the ground. When the smoke dissipated, Taoist Zhang and Yang Chun could no longer be seen.

"Boss, we are here." Yang Chun waved with a smile on his face. It turned out that they had run to the eaves of another house and their figures were hidden by the pillars.

"This is really a good thing, Yangchun, you are so amazing that you can learn this kind of thing." When Lu Zhan saw this, he immediately thought that this was a good thing that was essential for escape, and hurriedly praised.

"I also learned it all from Taoist Zhang. It was all under Taoist Zhang's guidance that I did it." Yang Chun was very happy, but she did not take credit for it.

"Hey, you little girl, I told you I didn't do anything, why did you expose me? Be careful or I won't play with you next time." Taoist Zhang crossed his arms pretending to be angry.

"Master, I'm just telling the truth. This is what you instructed me to do. So whatever you want to play, I'll play with you." Yang Chun respected Taoist Zhang very much. Taoist Zhang replaced the role of a father to accompany her, teach her, and also teach her some fun things.

"Sister, we heard that Yangchun made something good, so we came to take a look." Dahua ran in with Erhua, and Lu Zhan quickly shared with them what had just happened.

"Sister Yangchun is so amazing, Master Zhang, can we take another look at it?" When the two heard that there was such a good thing, they also ran to find Master Zhang.

Lu Linlang felt that this was indeed a must-have item for home and travel. With this, she could confuse the opponent's sight and create time to escape.

"Master Zhang, Yangchun, is this complicated for you to make? I want to buy more for you because I'm planning to go on a long trip."

"Sister, where are you going? I heard it's very dangerous outside." Dahua asked worriedly when she heard her say that.

"I'm planning to go south. There shouldn't be many disaster victims there, but there might be bandits along the way, so it's better to prepare some self-defense gear."

"Oh, you want to go south, why don't I go with you? I've traveled all over the country for many years and I'm familiar with the south. I'm tired of staying here, so I'd like to go out for a walk. When I come back, this batch of wine should be good enough."

Taoist Zhang was curious. He had guessed it in his heart a long time ago, but he still pretended not to know.

"You all stay home and protect yourselves and everyone else. I should be back soon. Taoist Zhang, let's go inside and talk in detail."

Taoist Zhang does have real skills and is a master who is hiding his true abilities. When Lu Linlang saw him instructing Lu Zhan and Yun Can before, he was also very comfortable with it. He practiced Tai Chi, but he was best at using softness to overcome hardness. He remained calm in the face of Lu Zhan's aggressive moves and resolved them one by one.

Ever since he started to instruct Lu Zhan and Yun Can, their martial arts have improved rapidly. He is like an old child. As long as you coax him, he will give some pointers when he is happy. Among them, Yangchun is his favorite child. Yangchun worships him as her master and says that she wants to follow him to be a Taoist nun. Taoist Zhang only says that practicing Taoism is about cultivating the mind and body, not about form. He and Yangchun are destined to be together, and he will raise her as his daughter in the future.

Yangchun was very moved. In the presence of the clan leader and Lu Linlang, she took Taoist Zhang as her master. Now, Yangchun's family members no longer dared to bother her. Her sisters envied her because she didn't have to be ordered around to do work, but Yangchun no longer had any feelings for them.

"Miss Lu, you're going to collect food this time, right? Although I'm a Taoist priest, I still have some face. If you go south, I can find some acquaintances, and buying food will be easier."

Taoist Zhang asked directly, and Lu Linlang did not hide it any further when she heard his confident look.

Since he could see Guan Ling's face, it proved that he had seen through the truth. Moreover, he knew the wine he brewed best. Several jars of these wines would be missing every once in a while, but they had never been sold on the market. This could only prove that Lu Linlang had transported them to other places.

It was only a matter of time before Taoist Zhang guessed what she was doing. She had observed Taoist Zhang for several months and found that he was not a spy sent by the Regent, but was also very smart. She had also turned a blind eye to it. Now that he took the initiative to ask, Lu Linlang directly admitted it.

"Then please help lead the way, Taoist Priest. If you can collect food, the people of Daqi will be grateful to you."

"You are really smart, girl. You didn't use the title of the royal family to pressure me, but you used the people to make your point. Forget it, forget it. I have lived a free and easy life. Now that I am old, I might as well do some good deeds."

"Master, you are too modest. Haven't you been doing good deeds all the time?" Lu Linlang knew that he would agree. Although he looked unrestrained, he actually cared about the world. He traveled all over the country and actually saved many people. Judging from the description of him by County Magistrate Zhao, he was also a kind-hearted person.

If a person has a kind heart, he will always be bound by kindness. But in this era, how many people can be free from their own desires? Even she cannot be immune to it.
