Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2831: Chapter 3832: The Resurrection of the Heart-Gouged Man

"Then I’ll take people back to the city right away, saying it’s to repurchase grain and fodder, and I’ll definitely deliver it in three days," Bai Ruozhu said.

"Alright, let’s do it that way," Lin Zhenghui agreed.

Jiang Yichun, however, held her back and said, "The plan follows yours, but I’ll need to go and support you that day."

Bai Ruozhu nodded, "Alright."

They quickly exited the tent. She called over the leader of the Medical Alliance team, gave him a few instructions to check everyone’s burns and whether anyone inhaled too much smoke.

After giving the instructions, she spoke loudly, "The Turkic people are utterly despicable, burning our grain and fodder, but don’t worry. I’ll return to purchase more grain and in three days, a new batch will be delivered. Everyone, focus on fighting!"

Many people voiced their approval, saying how hard Bai was working.

Bai Ruozhu mounted her horse and quickly left the main camp.

Soon, someone sent out a message, and Lin Zhenghui noticed who it was. However, there might be other spies, and he needed the information to get out, so he only sent a trusted dark guard to monitor, not alerting the enemy.

Once Bai Ruozhu returned to Liuri City, she dispatched Commerce Association personnel to purchase grain and fodder.

She gathered Jianqi and a group of dark guards to begin strategizing.

Including the new batch of dark guards Lin Zhenghui handed her, there were only sixty in total, while the opponent had over a hundred, making them difficult to handle.

Moreover, the Turkic people’s horseback skills were outstanding, and fighting them on horseback made it hard for anyone to match them.

Even the best experts in lightfoot techniques here found it difficult to catch up with the Turkic horses.

"We must prepare in advance," she pointed to a spot on the map, "Let’s set up some arrays to stop their horses from running."

Without horses, or if they fall from horseback, the Turkic fighters would lose more than half of their combat strength.

"Master, Yizi sent a letter two days ago, saying she’d come to aid us. She should arrive tonight, and she can be of use," Jianqi suddenly said.

Bai Ruozhu glared at him, "She sent a letter two days ago? How come I didn’t know? Who let her come? Is it dangerous?"

Jianqi, steeling his nerves, said, "She insisted on coming, couldn’t be persuaded otherwise, and asked me to keep it from you."

"Oh, so even before you marry, you two are already so in sync?" Bai Ruozhu said fiercely.

Jianqi’s face turned crimson down to his neck, and the dark guards, initially serious, couldn’t hold back their laughter; it was their first time seeing their leader like this; who knew Jianqi could blush!

Bai Ruozhu stifled a laugh; she wasn’t genuinely scolding Jianqi and Yizi, just concerned because Yizi’s martial arts weren’t great. If she didn’t act a bit fierce, they’d mess around again later.

"Master, I won’t dare in the future," Jianqi kneeled on one knee and said.

"Alright, you protect your wife yourself," Bai Ruozhu waved her hand, saying.

Jianqi’s face reddened even more, almost dripping blood, and several dark guards couldn’t help but laugh again.

Bai Ruozhu gave some final instructions, then told the dark guards to go about their tasks.

Left alone in the room, she decided to retreat into her Space to read the "Poison Classic."

She didn’t have an intense pursuit of poison skills, unlike some who were obsessed, even to the point of risking their lives for the ultimate, personally testing poisons.

For her, poison was merely for self-defense and protecting her family, so as life settled down, she scarcely prepared poison, but now she needed to make more.

She spent an entire afternoon in the Space crafting poison until Jianqi knocked on the door, prompting her to emerge.

"Master, Muyu is here," Jianqi said.

Bai Ruozhu hastily opened the door, "Muyu, why are you here?"

She was quite surprised. Didn’t Muyu marry to settle down and live a peaceful life?

"Madam, I didn’t join the sea voyage and felt cooped up at home for over a year; Master returns and doesn’t even let me join in?" Muyu joked with a grin.

"Join in? Following Achun is called joining in? Living amidst wind and rain, licking the blade’s edge, is that joining in?" Bai Ruozhu glared at him fiercely.

Muyu scratched his head, "Master just wants me to gather intelligence; it’s not dangerous."

"What about your wife?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

"She’s resting in the Barbarian Tribe," Muyu chuckled, his expression beyond proud.

Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but stare at him, "Your wife’s pregnant, and you don’t stay with her, what are you running around for?"

"She also told me to come help Master and Madam, as long as I return before the child is born," Muyu replied.

Bai Ruozhu, speechless, didn’t know what to say to this joker.

"By the way, Madam, here’s an urgent secret message. Master isn’t here, but you can see it too," Muyu said.

Bai Ruozhu took the wax sphere and asked, "You haven’t looked?"

"I’m just responsible for delivering the message; how could I just look at it?" Muyu scratched his head.

Bai Ruozhu breathed a sigh of relief; she understood, there are specific forces investigating information, likely those of the faction upstairs.

Muyu is responsible for delivering the intelligence they collect to Jiang Yichun.

She squeezed the wax ball, retrieving a note with small, hurried handwriting, suggesting the writer was in a rush.

"In Liuxi Town and surrounding areas, infant abductions are frequent recently. Investigation reveals it’s the work of a group, their methods almost identical. It has been discovered that an evil technique could use the heart blood of eighty-one infants to repair a heart and revive someone whose heart was removed."

Bai Ruozhu’s hand trembled, someone whose heart was removed? Wasn’t that Ma Xingguo!

But that day she clearly saw Jiang Yichun’s sword pierce his heart, even twisted it to ensure he was dead, how could he still be revived?

"Madam, inform Master as soon as possible, this matter is of great importance, those children are too pitiful," knowing he’ll be a father, Muyu’s eyes reddened upon hearing this.

Eighty-one infants’ heart blood... Bai Ruozhu’s heart pounded; no, she couldn’t panic, such a large number can’t be gathered quickly, and until the evil technique is performed, those infants are relatively safe.

"Muyu, what’s the word from the faction upstairs?" she asked urgently.

"I’m not sure; I’m not part of that faction, I don’t know their action plans," Muyu said worriedly.

Jianqi’s face was ashen, "Master, shall I go to the main camp to inform the lord?"

"Yes, be careful, don’t expose yourself," Bai Ruozhu said.

Now, should she go to Liuxi Town? What about the plan in three days? If something goes wrong, it will endanger Lin Zhenghui and the people at the main camp.

But if she waits three days to go to Liuxi Town, would the infants have already fallen victim to evil?

She couldn’t watch so many children be harmed, nor could she let Ma Xingguo resurrect with this evil technique!

Two hours later, Jiang Yichun returned, covered in dust.

"Ruozhu, let me see the secret message," he quickly approached the room.

Bai Ruozhu hurriedly handed it to him, "Would you like some water?"

"Yes," he said without taking his eyes off the note.

Bai Ruozhu handed over the tea, and without looking, he drank it in one go, his gaze never leaving the paper.
