The young couple from the farm fights back

Chapter 124 Xiao Chao honestly reveals the secrets of Changsheng Island

On this day, Zhou Chunfeng suggested that Deputy General Cheng lead some healthy soldiers to several county towns under Yanzhou City to relocate the county towns, towns and villages destroyed by the Huai Army as soon as possible.

Later, the civilians who had fled learned that the rebels had recaptured Yanzhou City and that the fighting had subsided, and large numbers of those who had escaped would gradually arrive there. This allowed Yanzhou City to quickly recover from the ruins of the war and return to its former life.

Zhou Chunfeng, who stayed in the garrison to recuperate from the wounded, was also busy. He wrote several records of city governance, discussed war strategies in the front with Xiao Chao, and provided sufficient support and planning to the rebels fighting in Huizhou in the rear.

The two of them were standing in front of the sand table, talking about something.

At this time, the soldier named Shen Wei came hurriedly to report: "Second Master, Deputy General Zhou, two people came outside and said they were looking for Deputy General Zhou."

Zhou Chunfeng was stunned when he heard this and put down the small flagpole in his hand.

Xiao Chao asked, "Can you tell me who this person is?"

"To answer Second Master, one of them said his surname was Zhou."

When Zhou Chunfeng heard this, he probably guessed who it was and strode out of the hall without saying a word.

Seeing this, Xiao Chao hurriedly followed: "Hey, Lao Zhou, wait for me~"

When I walked to the corridor, I saw from afar a figure being stopped outside the yamen by soldiers.

"Brother~" Dashuan recognized Zhou Chunfeng, who was wearing armor and had a different aura than before, and waved excitedly.

Zhou Chunfeng smiled and took a few steps forward: "Here I come!"

Seeing this, the soldiers dared not stop them anymore and quickly put away their spears and let the people in.

Zhou Chunfeng stepped forward and patted Dashuan's shoulder heavily. Of course, he recognized the fisherman next to Dashuan. He was the man who almost threw Xiao Chao into the sea to feed the fish at the ferry that day.

I think that Uncle Zhou's family and Jiang Li went to Changsheng Island together. It's also good to think that when my wife and the children fled, it would have been even more difficult without the help of Uncle Zhou's family.

As soon as Xiao Chao came out, he recognized Ming Ye and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"Why did you make such a special trip? Didn't your sister-in-law tell you that there was a plague in the city?"

Dashuan looked up and down at Zhou Chunfeng's uniform with admiration, and said with great excitement, "It was my sister-in-law who asked me to bring you some medicinal herbs right away."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chunfeng and Xiao Chao noticed that there were several small sacks on the backs of the horses that the two of them were holding the reins.

When Xiao Chao learned that it was Madam Zhou who had specially sent the herbs, he immediately showed his joy: "Great, my sister-in-law is really a wonderful person. She knew that our army was in urgent need of them, so she specially sent someone to send a life-saving medicine."

Zhou Chunfeng nodded, looked at Mingye, and said calmly, "Thank you for your hard work."

After all, the people on the island have done their family a favor, so courtesy and politeness are essential.

Upon hearing this, Ming Ye quickly bowed and said, "Subordinate Ming Ye greets the master."

Zhou Chunfeng: ...What the hell?

Xiao Chao, who was standing beside him, was stunned. He first looked at Zhou Chunfeng who was in a daze, and then at Ming Ye.

"No, Lao Zhou, what, what's going on?"

Why do the people of Changsheng Island call Lao Zhou "Master"? Could it be that the rumored descendants of the Daning Crown Prince and Lao Zhou...

No, impossible!

Xiao Chao quickly denied the possibility of rising in his heart.

Seeing this, Dashuan smiled and said, "Brother, I guess my sister-in-law hasn't told you yet. My sister-in-law is Mingye's master, so you are naturally their master as well."

Zhou Chunfeng: ..., let him take it slow!

Mingye nodded heavily.

Xiao Chao: ..., wait a minute!

When did Madam Zhou become the master of the fishermen on Changsheng Island? Is there any connection between this and the descendants of Prince Daning?

"Brother, let's unload the herbs first."

Zhou Chunfeng calmed down and said, "Okay."

Xiao Chao came back to his senses and signaled the soldiers beside him to take the sacks on the horses' backs: "You guys, quickly deliver the herbs to the military doctor."

"Yes."

Zhou Chunfeng looked at the people in front of him in a daze, thought for a moment, and said, "The city is quite far from the ferry. Are you in a hurry to go back?"

"Yes, big brother. The island has been very busy recently. Big sister-in-law can't get away. We have to go back and help her."

After Dashuan finished speaking, he seemed to have just thought of something and took out a letter from his bosom: "Brother, this is the letter that my sister-in-law asked me to bring to you. You will know after reading it. My sister-in-law also said that she will bring another batch of medicinal herbs to the ferry with her children in a few days to reunite with my brother."

Zhou Chunfeng clenched the letter in his hand: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"Brother, what are you talking about? My family relies on you and your wife to have a stable life. We are all happy to see that you are doing well. My parents asked me to tell you that you can go out and explore without worry. We will take care of your wife and the children. There are also highly skilled guards on the island, so you don't have to worry."

"My sister-in-law is very good, my brothers are all very good, and An'er asks about you from time to time. Lan'er is also very beautiful. My sister-in-law and the children are waiting for your return to reunite with us."

Zhou Chunfeng was deeply touched. He pursed his lips, patted Dashuan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Good boy, thank you very much, big brother."

Dashuan nodded heavily, wanting to reminisce with his elder brother, but he had to hurry back to Changsheng Island.

Firstly, Mingye must return to the island as soon as possible to help his sister-in-law. Secondly, the yams planted in the field yesterday, he hasn't been to the field to take a look today, and he doesn't know whether they are still alive.

No matter what, my elder brother is doing well now and has become a general of the rebel army. Dashuan is proud of him and feels ashamed.

Zhou Chunfeng personally saw the two of them out of the city gate. Watching their backs as they rode away, his longing for his wife and children grew stronger in his heart.

Xiao Chao, who was waiting outside the government office with his neck stretched out, saw Zhou Chunfeng riding back from afar and approached him like a lackey: "They just left like that?"

Zhou Chunfeng: ...

"Why, can't you treat me to a meal?"

Xiao Chao stiffened his neck and said, "It's just a meal. I can afford it."

Zhou Chunfeng dismounted, threw the reins to the soldier beside him, and strode into the yamen.

Xiao Chao was like a dog-skin plaster, clinging to the letter, curious about what Old Lady Zhou had said in it. He was eager to know how an ordinary woman like Old Lady Zhou could have managed to recruit a group of highly skilled fishermen on Changsheng Island.

Zhou Chunfeng entered the main hall, poured himself a bowl of water, and ate before pulling out the letter from his arms. Xiao Chao, too lazy to avoid him, leaned forward. Don't think he couldn't see it. The day Xiao Ce heard about the Changsheng Island, the strange look in his eyes was too obvious.

He was just too lazy to delve into it, and he guessed that Xiao Ce must have said something to Xiao Chao before leaving.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chunfeng abruptly put away the opened letter and turned his head to glance at Xiao Chao who was peeking in.

"You want to see?"

"Well, isn't it obvious that I am like this?" Xiao Chao did not hide it.

Zhou Chunfeng raised his lips slightly and took a sip of tea. "Tell me, why do you care so much about Changsheng Island?"

Xiao Chao: ...

Have it?

No, even if there was, how did Lao Zhou know it?

Xiao Chao touched the stubble on his chin awkwardly. Seeing Zhou Chunfeng looking at him playfully, he thought for a moment and took a deep breath.

"I didn't mean to hide it from you, but I was afraid that if I told you, you would think that my brother was targeting you."

Zhou Chunfeng heard this and became more cautious: "What's your idea?"

Xiao Chao walked around to the table and sat down, then slowly began to speak, "Rumor has it that the owner of Changsheng Island is a descendant of the former Crown Prince Daning. This island is extremely mysterious. Without someone on the island to lead the way, outsiders would have no way of finding it!"

"Last time, my eldest brother learned that my sister-in-law had been accepted by Changsheng Island. So, he was a little curious about what my sister-in-law was doing on Changsheng Island."

"Heh~" Zhou Chunfeng sneered, looking like, "Do you think I believe it?"

Xiao Chao pursed his lips: "Okay, okay, okay, I'll tell you, isn't that okay?"

"There's a saying in the martial arts world that whoever controls Da Ning will rule the world. Do you know what that means?"

Zhou Chunfeng frowned slightly, pondering the meaning of these words: "Why do you say that?"

"It is said that when the enemy was at the gates of the city, the trusted generals of the Daning royal family risked their lives to take the young crown prince away from the palace. In addition, they also took away half of the palace's treasures."

Seeing that Zhou Chunfeng didn't look surprised at all, Xiao Chao had to add more information: "Don't think that those treasures sound small. Just half of them are enough to make a country rich."

Zhou Chunfeng: ...
