Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1676: Chapter 1675: Stirring Up a 500,000 Strong Army

Qiao Xiaomai, “…I’ve told you many times, I don’t have the Treasure Pot.”

“You do.” Bei Yun looked up, his gaze fixed on Qiao Xiaomai, his tone firm.

“If I truly had the Treasure Pot, do you think you’d still be alive right now?” Qiao Xiaomai sneered coldly. “I would’ve pulled out a Divine Crossbow and blown you to pieces already.”

She had guns and bombs in her space. If she caught him off guard, she was 80% confident she could kill Bei Yun.

However, there were over two hundred elite fighters outside the carriage. She didn’t know martial arts—killing Bei Yun was possible in an instant, but she wouldn’t stand a chance against the two hundred fighters outside.

So, for now, all she could do was vent her frustration verbally and avoid taking any rash actions.

At the moment, Bei Yun wasn’t restraining her or drugging her. If she acted and failed, he’d certainly turn to drugs and force her hand.

Without a 100% chance of success, she couldn’t afford to act recklessly.

“You, yourself, are a Treasure Pot.” Bei Yun wasn’t angered by Qiao Xiaomai’s retort. He grinned and glanced down, continuing to tinker with the Divine Crossbow as he muttered, “I need to figure out the internal structure of this Divine Crossbow quickly. War’s about to break out, and this is a critical weapon.”

“What? A war?!” Qiao Xiaomai’s voice shot up upon hearing the news.

“Yes. Yang Wenxiao has been preparing for battle all year. We can’t let all his efforts go to waste. When Longshi Country, Yuchi Country, and Taian Country join forces, they can field an army of 500,000.”

“What?!” Qiao Xiaomai was stunned again by this figure.

“Don’t worry. We don’t intend to completely destroy Qi Country; we just plan to seize a few prefectures to expand our territory.” Bei Yun offered a consolation that was entirely devoid of sincerity.

“Ugh, spit!” Qiao Xiaomai was furious. “You think you can just do whatever you plan without resistance?!”

“What? Are you talking about explosives?” Bei Yun’s tone carried a hint of nonchalance. “I’ve asked around carefully. Explosives have limited power. They might work against normal soldiers, but they’re useless against someone of my caliber.”

“How many people of your caliber could there possibly be?” Qiao Xiaomai sneered, unimpressed by his boasting.

“How much explosive does Yang Wenxiao even have?” Bei Yun didn’t answer her mockery but instead countered with a question. “I don’t believe his explosives could kill 500,000 soldiers.”

“He’s been stockpiling explosives for decades. How much do you think he has?” Qiao Xiaomai didn’t know the precise amount Yang Wenxiao had, as it was the top secret of the Yang Family and Daqi. But Yang Wenxiao had been Emperor for decades, so he must have some reserves, right?

“No matter how much he has, we’re not afraid. In the South, there’s plenty of miasma, toxic gas, and poisonous creatures. The Imperial Guards have lived in the North for years; they won’t be able to adapt to the southern climate. When they start succumbing to various symptoms of acclimation issues, who will be left to ignite those explosives?”

“But there’s Lingsu!”

“And we have me over here.”

“You can’t compare to Lingsu.”

“Not necessarily. The South has plenty of poisons she’s never encountered before. I left her a note—I don’t want her getting involved in this mess. I really don’t want to poison her.”

Back in the day, Bei Fan’s martial arts were limited, and his range of activity was narrow. He mostly stayed within the borders of Daqi and hardly ventured into the smaller southern countries. Later, while members of the Bei Family often traveled to the mainland for training, they, too, primarily stayed in Daqi and rarely set foot in the southern regions.

They had no experience in the South, which meant they couldn’t begin to guess at the kinds of poisons found there.

Take the “Flower of Hell,” for example—a specialty of the South.

He was grateful to Bei Lingsu for letting him experience the warmth of family bonds after so long. He truly didn’t want Bei Lingsu to get entangled in this dangerous conflict.
