Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

After listening to Yao Shu's words, Ling Hui's eyes widened slightly. If he hadn't been concerned about his image at the moment, he would have reached out and dug his ears to see if he heard correctly.

He never expected that Yao Shu would refuse.

In the entire Zhangzhou City, if he could get him to take another look, it would already be something worth showing off.

Not to mention being promoted by the general.

This is a job that no one can grab even if they squeeze their heads.

The current result was so different from his expectation that it caught him off guard.

"Why is this? Since you rejected my request, you must give me a reason." Ling Hui calmed down and asked again.

"It's nothing. I'm just an ordinary woman. I can't bear such a big burden, so I don't want to cause the general to be criticized, so I better not cause trouble to the general."

Yao Shu lowered her head respectfully and once again used this excuse as an excuse to refuse.

After waiting for a moment, Ling Hui didn't speak again.

He fiddled with the teapot in front of him. The tea inside was no longer boiling hot, but there was still some heat left.

I don't know how long the silence lasted.

Until Yao Shu felt anxious again, fearing that she would offend Ling Hui.

If the general was angry, she would not be able to bear it.

"You should have come early in the morning. I will take you for a walk in the military camp first."

Finally, just when she could no longer hold on any longer, Ling Hui spoke.

He stood up, grabbed his weapon, raised his head at Yao Shu, and motioned for her to follow him quickly.

What is this going to do?

Yao Shu was confused, but she didn't dare to delay. The two of them walked out of the tent one after another.

At this time, the training of the soldiers was basically over, and they were sitting on the ground to rest in twos and threes.

Seeing Ling Hui appear, everyone stood up quickly and shouted together: "General!"

"Sit down and rest. We'll get ready to eat later." Ling Hui nodded and smiled at them.

Of course, Yao Shu would not go to the top-secret location in the military camp. Ling Hui walked through the crowd and led Yao Shu to the camp kitchen.

Behind him, the soldiers became even more curious.

"So, what is her identity? She can be carried around the camp by the general!"

"Who knows? I just care about what to eat later."

"You think too much, don't you eat those things every day?"

"Oh, I really miss the glutinous rice cakes made by my mother..."

Their topic shifted from Yao Shu to eating.

All the soldiers looked eager, licked their lips, and touched their bellies.

The military camp eats two meals a day, and today's meal has been prepared.

Ling Hui's arrival once again elicited a wave of greetings. He nodded slightly to everyone, picked up the bowl next to him, filled two portions of rice, and handed one of them to Yao Shu.

This is a bowl of porridge that is not too thick, paired with a black multi-grain steamed bun.

"Let's go and talk while eating." Perhaps noticing the growing doubt in Yao Shu's eyes, Ling Hui took her aside and sat down temporarily.

"General, what does this mean?" Yao Shu couldn't see through him.

"Try it first." Ling Hui raised his head and motioned for her to eat first.

Yao Shu hesitated for a moment and took a bite of steamed buns first.

This thing is as hard as a rock. It's a test to eat it in your mouth. It takes a lot of effort to swallow it. People who choke can't help but roll their eyes.

After taking a bite, you have to drink some water quickly, otherwise your throat will hurt.

"It's pretty good for the army officers to eat these things. Sometimes the people around us can't even eat this kind of food. Some of them go out to dig trees and wild vegetables to fill their stomachs. But the land here is barren, how many wild vegetables can grow?"

Ling Hui also took a bite of the steamed bun and swallowed it with the porridge.

Yao Shu lowered her head and looked at the meals again, already guessing Ling Hui's intention.

After all, I still want to convince her to promote sweet potatoes.

However, these two crops are indeed much more delicious than the black steamed buns in front of you.

"What the general said makes sense." Yao Shu pretended not to understand and just agreed.

Ling Hui finished the whole meal, but Yao Shu finally couldn't eat anymore and had to leave some.

Ling Hui grabbed the cloth next to him, wiped his mouth casually, raised his head and stared at her with burning eyes: "I know you have a lot of worries, but you don't have to think so much."

"You, the Five Elements Master, are just an official under my command. Even if you are chosen to promote these two crops, I will send people to assist you."

The general brought up the matter again and made it so clear that Yao Shu could not pretend to be stupid even if she wanted to.

Besides, she had just eaten this meal, so her thoughts naturally changed.

"General, it's not impossible for you to want me to take charge of this matter, but I still have some conditions." Yao Shu no longer evaded.

The two of them need to talk openly and honestly about this matter.

"No problem." Ling Hui agreed immediately.

After burning incense, the two returned to Ling Hui's camp again.

The men sat down separately, this time on equal footing.

"General, if you ask me to promote these sweet potatoes and potatoes, and teach the people how to grow them, then I hope that I will have the greatest degree of freedom in this matter, and everyone will act according to my orders."

Yao Shu stopped procrastinating and made the request directly.

There are naturally some things to pay attention to when planting new crops. Although it is not too complicated, Yao Shu does not want other changes to happen in the process.

"Okay, is there anything else?" Ling Hui nodded simply.

"I hope my family and I are safe."

This is also what Yao Shu values ​​​​the most.

"As long as I'm here, no one in the entire Zhangzhou City can touch you." Ling Hui's voice was low, but he felt safe.

Yao Shu believes that he is not just perfunctory and will definitely fulfill this promise.

As for other benefits and conditions, of course they are also indispensable.

After Yao Shu finished talking about a series of requests that she could think of, Ling Hui actually laughed out loud.

"General what do you mean?"

"You have indeed thought comprehensively. I have agreed to all these requests. Can you take over the promotion?"

The last trace of worries was eliminated.

Yao Shu had no reason to refuse this matter.

She also has eyes and can see that the people in Zhangzhou City are indeed living a miserable life and cannot even afford the most basic food.

In fact, she had thought about it a long time ago and wanted all the people in Zhangzhou to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes. This would save many lives!

It's just that she has never had the ability. Now that Ling Hui is on the frontline to clear obstacles for her, it's time for her to do her best to do something for everyone.

"General, I've thought about it clearly. I'm willing to take this next step. I will do my best to do it well from now on." Yao Shu solemnly nodded, her eyes showing seriousness and determination.
