CHAPTER 198: CHAPTER 198: SUBMITTING THE METHOD TO INCREASE YIELD TO GENERAL ZHAO

Constructing the Gulan Military Camp brings countless benefits without harm to the Deserted Mountain.

If the Gulan Military Camp, which is at the forefront of the battle line, is well-built, it will undoubtedly serve as the first barrier, offering much more safety to the Deserted Mountain situated far behind it.

Moreover, it could reduce the sentence, so why wouldn’t Shu’er be delighted?

As Yan Huan Yu got on his horse intending to leave, Commander Qian anxiously approached Pei Shu’er.

"Tell me your plan now."

Pei Shu’er raised her eyebrow at him, then spoke to Yan Huan Yu.

"Wait, I have a method to increase the yield per acre, and I want to personally deliver it to General Zhao at the military camp."

Yan Huan Yu halted his horse, staring dazedly at Pei Shu’er for a while. This method should actually be submitted at a more critical moment, rather than now.

But when he saw the firm look in Pei Shu’er’s eyes, he finally nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Commander Qian’s eyes widened, and bloodshot veins showed in his eyes as he looked at Pei Shu’er.

This nasty woman, does she know what she’s saying?

What good does it do her to oppose me like this?

This Commander Qian has repeatedly targeted her and the people from the third family, and he has truly angered her.

Now, Commander Qian’s urgent demeanor indicates that he considers this method extremely important.

Perhaps Commander Qian could even get promoted because of it.

Why should she cultivate a powerful enemy then?

Pei Shu’er had Yinxing bring her horse over, and with a flick of the whip, the horse took off.

Yan Huan Yu intentionally lagged behind a bit, riding alongside Pei Shu’er.

All the while, Commander Qian couldn’t find an opportunity to persuade Pei Shu’er.

Not until they reached the military camp entrance did Commander Qian pull Pei Shu’er to the side, speaking to her through gritted teeth.

"Pei Shu’er, think carefully, are you really going against me?"

Pei Shu’er peeled off Commander Qian’s hand and laughed, "Commander, if I don’t submit this method and give it to you instead, would you really spare me and the Deserted Mountain?"

Commander Qian gritted his teeth, "I would."

Pei Shu’er chuckled lightly, obviously not taking Commander Qian’s words seriously.

People like him hardly have any credibility.

Pei Shu’er wanted to leave, but Commander Qian did not let go, causing her to frown, her eyes filled with coldness.

This is a military camp; if it’s possible to avoid conflict with Commander Qian, it would undoubtedly be best.

However, if she continues to endure, Commander Qian will likely lock her up until she divulges the method.

Maybe she’d even end up being a tool for this man to vent his anger.

Thinking of this, Pei Shu’er took out her water bag for a sip. Just as she was about to break free forcefully from Commander Qian, she heard him let out a scream, his hand instinctively releasing her.

Pei Shu’er seized the chance to escape, quickly running towards Yan Huan Yu’s horse, with people from Commander Qian’s side in pursuit.

Pei Shu’er had been to the military camp a few times, but she wasn’t familiar with the place and didn’t know where she was heading.

Halfway, the soldiers were closing in on her.

Suddenly, someone covered her mouth, dragging her towards a tent.

Her eyes widened as she struggled vigorously, but even after drinking the Spiritual Spring Water, she was no match for the person behind her.

The person lowered their voice, their breath spraying on her neck, causing goosebumps to rise.

"Pei Shu’er, why are you here?"

Pei Shu’er sharply turned her head to see Tang Zan, who was gazing down at her with dark eyes.

Pei Shu’er understood; earlier, the scream from Commander Qian was likely due to Tang Zan’s hidden weapon.

Pei Shu’er blinked, prompting Tang Zan to release his hand from her mouth.

"Commander Qian went to the Deserted Mountain to ask me for a method to increase yield per acre, which I now want to submit to General Zhao."

She understood the principle of ’an innocent man harbors a precious jade and thus becomes guilty.’

Ever since Tang Zan returned to the military camp, because the Dazi had previously attacked the camp several times, no one could leave the camp now.

Tang Zan glanced at Pei Shu’er.

"Okay, I’ll take you to see General Zhao then."

Pei Shu’er nodded, and Tang Zan’s left hand naturally grasped Pei Shu’er’s hand.

Pei Shu’er felt a bit odd, struggling softly until she freed herself, only for Tang Zan to turn back and look at her.

Pei Shu’er smiled, "There’s a lot of people here."

Tang Zan nodded, saying, "The paths here are quite confusing, and there are a lot of scoundrels. If I hold onto you, it will be harder for others to abduct you."

Pei Shu’er drew a long breath, reassuring herself that Tang Zan wouldn’t act so intimately.

He was a person cold-hearted and indifferent, should be extremely averse to such close contact.

Then she suddenly recalled, that she too seems to subconsciously touch Tang Zan.

Tang Zan, being a deep germaphobe, probably feels quite miserable.

But precisely because she owes him a slight favor, he’s enduring this himself.

Pei Shu’er chuckled, "Relax, I can keep up with you."

She noticed that Tang Zan’s expression darkened, but given that villains are capricious, if she keeps following these changes, she probably won’t get anything done.

Tang Zan walked ahead, Pei Shu’er felt a rather chilly atmosphere, but she quietly followed him.

They eventually reached General Zhao’s tent, where Tang Zan spoke to the soldiers guarding the tent.

"Inform General Zhao that Lin Zhi is seeking an audience with Pei Shu’er."

The soldiers quickly reported back, leading the two into the General’s Tent.

General Zhao was an imposing man, a square face, thick eyebrows, tiger eyes, his complexion dark, and his build robust, he looked up upon seeing Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan.

His eyes filled with a striking brilliance, a sign of inner strength mastery.

Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan first paid their respects, and General Zhao said, "You may rise, what is the matter?"

At this point, Commander Qian had already reached the tent, and upon hearing Pei Shu’er had entered, he rushed inside himself.

Typically, he wouldn’t dare to barge in, but now he had no choice; the value of this method was simply immeasurable.

Just then, Pei Shu’er spoke.

"General, I wish to increase the yield per acre..."

"You brazen thief, do you think the military camp is a place you can break into at will?"

Having said this, he ordered the soldiers, "Someone seize this little thief, otherwise if General Zhao is accidentally harmed, it will be a huge loss for our Gulan Military Camp."

Other people quickly rushed forward to capture Pei Shu’er.

Tang Zan shielded Pei Shu’er, his eyes full of anger.

"Commander Qian, you have violated protocol by intruding into the General’s Tent, even spying could be used as a charge against you."

General Zhao also frowned, not understanding Commander Qian’s actions, nor knowing what Pei Shu’er wanted to say, although he knew it was related to the yield per acre.

Thinking of this, he raised his hand slightly.

"Pei Shu’er, finish what you were about to say, you go first."

Commander Qian’s expression changed dramatically; he still tried to stop it, but Pei Shu’er had already started speaking rapidly.

"Reporting to the General, I intend to submit the method for increasing the yield per acre to the General, so that when the General wants to increase the yield in the future, it will be considerably easier."
