The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn
Chapter Summary
” Zhou Jia looked at his son’s smiling face and then at Ruyi and Old Madam Liu, who were standing at the door and looking at him worriedly. Uncle Lei, who had returned from scouting for information, said to Shen Shuo, “General, I realized that those Qi soldiers are much slower. ” Shen Hui looked at the slowly moving Qi soldiers at the foot of the mountain and said to Shen Shuo, “Second Uncle, I want to bring a group of people down to ambush them and burn them to death below before they recover.
Chapter 364: Success Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Yunzhou City was already filled with troops.
Ruyi looked at the busy master that was getting thinner and thought to himself, What if Madam doesn’t come back?
Xiaoyu brought Old Madam Liu, who was carrying a bowl of small wontons, to Ruyi’s side.
She said to Ruyi, “Ruyi, bring Young Master to send a bowl of his favorite wontons to Master.
Persuade Master to eat more.
He’s so busy every day and doesn’t eat much.
Look, Master has lost weight.
If this continues, Master will probably be seriously ill when Madam comes back.
” Old Madam Liu couldn’t help but nod.
Yangyang looked at Ruyi sensibly.
“Uncle Yi bring me to the front office so I can get Father to eat.
Auntie Yu said that Mother will be back in two days.
” Ruyi carried Yangyang and nodded with a smile.
“Alright, Uncle Yi will bring Young Master to treat Master.
” They passed through the corridor and went to Zhou Jia’s room in the front office.
Looking at Zhou Jia, who was engrossed in his work, Yangyang knocked on the door and called out, “Father, Yangyang is here.
” Zhou Jia looked up and saw them standing at the door.
His thin face was unshaven.
“Yang’er is here!
” Ruyi placed Yangyang on the ground.
Yangyang brought Old Madam Liu in and placed the small wontons on the table.
He walked to Zhou Jia and snuggled up to him.
Zhou Jia picked him up and sat him down.
Yangyang leaned against Zhou Jia’s neck and kissed his face.
“Father, Yang’er and Granny Liu made your favorite wontons.
Try them and see if they’re delicious.
” Zhou Jia looked at his son’s smiling face and then at Ruyi and Old Madam Liu, who were standing at the door and looking at him worriedly.
He knew that he had made them uneasy.
He pulled himself together and kissed Yangyang.
He smiled at Yangyang.
“Alright, Father happens to be hungry.
Let’s see how my Little Yang’er’s culinary skills are.
” Yangyang pointed at the wontons in the bowl.
“Father, look, I made those ugly ones.
Try them.
” “Okay.
” Zhou Jia scooped up an ugly little wonton and ate it.
He nodded.
“Oh!
It tastes good.
Father likes it very much.
” Yangyang looked at Ruyi and Old Madam Liu happily.
“Uncle Yi, Granny Liu, look, Father said it’s delicious.
” Ruyi and Old Madam Liu looked at the father and son and their eyes suddenly turned red.
Zhou Jia watched as his son ate all the wontons.
Yangyang looked at him and said, “Father, Mother will be back in two days.
She’ll be angry if you don’t eat properly!
” “Father knows.
Father will eat well.
” Zhou Jia hugged Yangyang and promised.
The Qi soldiers arrived at the foot of the mountain opposite at the time Uncle Lei had estimated.
At noon this day, Shen Shuo and the soldiers on the mountain stood at the top of the mountain like moving bushes.
They watched as the Qi soldiers at the foot of the mountain opposite slowly reached the depression and slowly moved up.
Shen Shuo felt that the Qi soldiers were already exhausted after many days of crossing mountains and long distances.
Uncle Lei, who had returned from scouting for information, said to Shen Shuo, “General, I realized that those Qi soldiers are much slower.
It seems that they are already very tired.
” Shen Shuo nodded and praised Uncle Lei.
“That’s right!
You’re very attentive.
We’ll wait here and give them a head-on blow.
” Shen Hui looked at the slowly moving Qi soldiers at the foot of the mountain and said to Shen Shuo, “Second Uncle, I want to bring a group of people down to ambush them and burn them to death below before they recover.
” Shen Shuo looked at the team that was slowly moving through the depression like a long dragon and thought that they would definitely rest in the col below.
After standing up and looking around, he returned to the forest and made a decision.
Shen Shuo looked at the stones, wood, and wooden sticks wrapped in straw braids behind him.
He turned to look at the soldiers sitting in the forest in twos and threes and said, “I’ve decided to burn the camp.
Those who are agile, follow me.
Bring the arrows wrapped in kerosene and the remaining kerosene.
Everyone has to remember to retreat as soon as you succeed.
If I don’t come back, Shen Hui will replace me.
” “General, we’ll go with you.
” Chen Lin, a few guards, and soldiers stood up from the team.
Shen Hui looked at Shen Shuo and said, “Second Uncle, I want to go…” “This is a military order,” Shen Shuo said to Shen Hui.
Shen Hui looked at Shen Shuo’s red eyes and puffed out his chest.
“Yes, General.
” Shen Shuo looked at the hundreds of soldiers who had stepped forward in relief and said, “Good job!
The sons of Great Yong are all exemplary!
When we reach the Qi army’s camp, everyone has to listen to my orders.
” Everyone nodded heavily in agreement.
Shen Hui walked up and hugged Shen Shuo.
“Second Uncle, I’ll wait for you to come back.
” Shen Shuo patted him and smiled.
“Don’t worry, Second Uncle will be fine.
” Everyone hugged each other and bade farewell.
Chen Lin said to Shen Hui, Shen Hui wiped his tears and patted Chen Lin with a forced smile.
“I can’t be bothered to help you.
Come back and give it to them yourself.
” The others silently handed the arrows wrapped in kerosene and water bags filled with kerosene to Shen Shuo and the other soldiers and guards.
Everyone watched with tears in their eyes as more than a hundred soldiers went down the mountain toward the Qi army.
Shen Shuo led his men to the top of the Qi army’s camp at midnight.
Shen Shuo looked at the bonfires in the col and estimated that at least tens of thousands of Qi soldiers had come.
Shen Shuo gestured to the soldiers beside him.
Everyone sat down silently to rest for more than an hour.
When the Qi soldiers let out waves of sound sleep, they carried kerosene arrows and water bags filled with kerosene on their backs and quietly moved toward the camp.
The Qi soldiers had never dreamed that Great Yong’s soldiers would also come to Mount Spindle.
A group of officials lay by the fire without any scruples.
Some were curled up, some were sleeping with their limbs spread out, and snoring sounded everywhere.
The officials on night duty leaned against the tree trunk and were half asleep.
Some heard the commotion and stood up sleepily to look around.
Thinking that they had not found anything, they assumed that it was a wild creature in the mountains.
They yawned and sat back down.
Shen Shuo and the others, who were covering their bodies, slit their throats and gently placed them on the ground.
After dealing with the sentries, Shen Shuo, Chen Lin, and the others torched the places where the supplies were parked.
Some were near the camp.
Everyone quietly poured the kerosene from the water bags on the supplies and around the camp, as well as on the trees around the camp.
After everything was ready, they climbed up a nearby tree and lit the arrows wrapped in kerosene.
They lit them on the supplies that had been splashed with kerosene and everywhere in the camp.
Whoosh… The sound of arrows tore through the air.
The supplies and the camp instantly burned.
The raging fire instantly ignited the withered grass and dead branches in the camp.
The forest that was sprinkled with kerosene instantly burned.
The Qi soldiers woke up from their sleep and shouted dizzily, “Fire!
Hurry up and fight the fire.
It’s on fire… The sound of arrows piercing through the air was even more intense as they flew toward the Qi army.
For a moment, the people on the mountain neighed, cried, and shouted like a fire tornado.
Wherever they passed, there was a crackling sound of burning.
In the blink of an eye, the trees and withered grass that were sprinkled with kerosene burned and fire spread everywhere when the wind blew.
Shen Hui and the soldiers on the mountain looked at the towering flames below, illuminating the foot of the mountain as if it was daytime.
Everyone looked down the mountain silently with tears in their eyes, eager to see those familiar figures appear in front of them.
They watched helplessly as the raging flames spread towards the depression and half of the mountain, but there were still no familiar figures.
Shen Hui wiped his tears and turned to the crying soldiers.
“Everyone, retreat to a safe area with me.
We’ll go down the mountain to take a look after the fire is extinguished..
”
