Chapter 130: Disaster Coming One After Another ( 1 )
Noticing that her donkey was responding to her words, Yao Zhi was surprised. "You understand my words?" she asked.
Xiao Lu gave her a glance and nodded.
Yao Zhi was delighted. She never expected that the grass grown in her systemâs husbandry would have this kind of effect. If she could raise her donkey into a spirit mount, that would be wonderful!
After she daydreamed for a while, she quickly went to clean up the yard. She also took out the firewood she stored in her systemâs storage and returned everything she stored in her systemâs storage back to their places.
While she was busy cleaning up, her husband was also busy in the military barracks.
Due to the thunderstorm, several areas in the barracks were damaged. The soldiers were ordered to fix them as soon as possible.
While Fu Chenâan was fixing the wooden fences, Yan Shu walked over and called him, "Squad Leader Fu."
Hearing this, Fu Chenâan stopped what he was doing and walked over. He clasped his fists, bowed, and said, "Centurion Yan, whatâs your order?"
"Bring your team and go to Yang Village to help the villagers rebuild their houses and clear the farmland. You can return when you finish your mission," Yan Shu said.
It was common for the soldiers to be sent on missions to help the commoners. So there was nothing strange about this order. "This subordinate obeys the order."
"Pack up and leave as soon as possible," Yan Shu added before he went to inform other squad leaders.
Fu Chenâan quickly informed his subordinates and went to pack up his belongings. He didnât even bother to wash up before he rushed back.
Yang Village was where his home was located.
He was worried about his wife, but without permission from his superiors, he couldnât leave the barracks. Fortunately, he was ordered to help the villagers, so he could go back and check on his wife.
After he left the barracks, Yan Shu reported back to Lu Qianxuan. "Reporting to the General, the matter has been arranged, and Squad Leader Fu has left the barracks with his team."
Lu Qianxuan nodded and said, "You may leave."
Yan Shu bowed and left the Generalâs tent. After he left, Wu Zhuying asked, "General, why did you treat that boy differently? I didnât think there was anything special about him."
Lu Qianxuan finished writing his letter to his wife and placed the brush down. He blew on the letter before he replied, "Fu Chenâan has a good wife."
Hearing this, Wu Zhuying looked at his cousin with a meaningful yet doubtful gaze. After a moment of hesitation, he finally said, "General, you are not coveting your subordinateâs wife, are you?"
As soon as he said this, he received a deadly glare from his cousin. "What nonsense are you spouting? I already have Yaâer. She alone is enough for me."
"Then why did youâ"
Before he finished his words, Lu Qianxuan interrupted him. "His wife is not simple. You will know more in the future."
He didnât want to elaborate in case the walls had ears.
For others, the one who was lucky was Fu Chenâan, since he not only survived the enemyâs entrapment but also managed to save the General. But Lu Qianxuan knew that the one who was lucky was Fu Chenâanâs wife.
She was so lucky that she managed to save a divine physician by chance in the border market and bought the wound ointment.
She was so lucky that she was born into a family with so many secret recipes.
She was so lucky that she managed to find so many precious herbs to brew that medicinal water that saved his and Fu Chenâanâs lives.
If she were born as a man, she would bring earth-shattering changes to the dynasty and might become someone who was under one, above millions.
Since she was married to one of his soldiers, he would promote her husband and build a good relationship with them. As long as they stayed as his loyal supporters, his maternal granduncle might be able to achieve his great cause.
The moment this thought flashed in his mind, Lu Qianxuan clenched his fists tightly to control his emotions.
While Lu Qianxuan was planning in his tent, Fu Chenâan and his team rushed back. They were running and only carrying small luggage, so they managed to reach Yang Villageâs entrance in less than an hour.
As soon as they entered the village, they saw that several houses were damaged, and one of them had even collapsed. Seeing this, Fu Chenâan quickly led his team to rescue the people.
Although they managed to pull out the people buried under the house, three people were dead, and the rest were injured. When the villagers saw that the soldiers were coming to help, they quickly informed the village chief.
Half an hour later, the village chief arrived with a group of villagers. Seeing Fu Chenâan, the village chief walked over, bowed, and said, "Squad Leader Fu, thank you for coming to help us."
"Village Chief, we are ordered by the General to help the villagers. You donât have to be so polite," Fu Chenâan said as he stopped him from bowing.
Afterward, he turned to his subordinates and said, "All of you will follow the Village Chiefâs arrangement."
"Understood," the soldiers cupped their fists and replied in unison.
When the villagers saw this, they couldnât help but look at Fu Chenâan in awe. They didnât notice the difference in his interactions with the villagers after his promotion until today.
"Village Chief, I need to go back and check on my wife. You can make arrangements for them."
Hearing this, the Village Chief nodded and said, "Squad Leader Fu, you can leave this matter to me."
"Good."
As soon as he finished his words, Fu Chenâan left in large strides.
When he saw the situation in the village, he couldnât stop himself from thinking about the worst happening to his wife. With fear and worry filling his heart, he basically sprints back to his home.
