Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 364 - 362

Chapter 364: 362

The deployment map was always in General Li’s possession, and it had never been lost. Only a few generals had seen it.

Shangguan Xuanyi also claimed that those generals didn’t have an eidetic memory.

The real General Dingyuan indeed didn’t have that kind of skill, but after disguising himself as General Dingyuan, Yang Yong did!

After disguising himself as General Dingyuan and seeing the deployment map, Yang Yong drew it, added some embellishments, and turned it into beautiful patterns. He then cut them into puzzle labels, stuck them onto rouge boxes of stunning beauty, and sold them to the Xiyue Country! This way, the deployment map was leaked without anyone noticing.

The war between the two countries might have affected the regular buying and selling activities of the people, but it did not mean that business could not be conducted.

Thus, the deployment map was sold like rouge and thankfully at a good price!

Who in this world would think that the labels on the rouge boxes contained a deployment map?

Yang Yong was a talent, but alas, he was a talent of the enemy.

As he could not be employed for personal gain, admiring his talents became pointless!

With Yang Yong heading to the northwest, anyone wanting to continue monitoring him must also head northwest.

If the distance was too great, Xiao’er wouldn’t be able to communicate with the golden python through her thoughts, unless Xiao’er also headed northwest.

Go to the northwest? What an attractive idea! Xiao’er thought to herself.

Since she wanted to go and had such a strong reason to, why not? She was determined to go to the northwest!

Xiao’er first sought out Shen Chengyao and told him how Yang Yong was incredibly resourceful and alert. Without the mystical beasts from her fairyland to monitor him, whoever else going there would definitely be found out.

But the mystical beasts were only able to communicate with her and not understand others, so she had to take the task upon herself.

Shen Chengyao was somewhat hesitant. He felt that his daughter wanted to go for fun.

Once this thought came to his mind, he immediately dismissed it. There’s nothing enjoyable about the war-ridden lands, only grass and sand!

"Dad, think about why the Goddess saved my life and allowed me to use the fairyland. It must be because she wants me to help those suffering from disasters. If I don’t help, won’t the Goddess blame me? The loss of the fairyland is minor, but what if I lose my life?"

"Don’t talk nonsense!" Shen Chengyao gave a glance at his quirky daughter.

With conveniently accessible fairyland, he believed she wouldn’t be in danger. As a parent, he naturally doesn’t want his child to go to a dangerous place.

Firearms are ruthless, this isn’t a joke.

However, only with a country can one have a home. If everyone refuses to let their children go to the frontline, who would protect the country?

"Fine! But you have to disguise yourself as a man! You’re already proficient at it! You always think big and are actually more capable than me, just don’t get yourself seriously injured or lose your life! During the New Year, I’ll ask the Emperor for the permissions to send a batch of clothes to you. At that time, I can bring you home for the New Year!" Shen Chengyao grumbled yet sounded powerless.

"I knew that dad understands the grand scheme of things! Then, dad, you have to help me persuade mom!" She’s already proficient at cross-dressing - was she supposed to thank her for the time at Longevity Festival? Her dad was just being petty!

With the father and daughter on the same side, could Mrs. Liu still stand up against it?

As expected, Shen Chengyao was scolded by Mrs. Liu, who claimed that he was the one who was most good at spoiling the child, the one who was most understanding, and the best person! She was just the bad person who did not understand!

Mrs. Liu didn’t want to vent her anger on her child, so she focused all her fire on Shen Chengyao! Shen Chengyao, this cannon fodder, was driven to sleep in the study room for a month.

Upon knowing that Xiao’er wanted to go northwest, Jingrui also wanted to join. Next year, he would have to participate in the rural examination and the examination. As the saying goes, to read ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles!

He had read enough books already, even able to finish two to three books on leisurely days.

The knowledge gained from books is shallow until it is applied. With Jingrui having such a mindset, Xiao’er naturally raised her hands in agreement.

Shen Chengyao also believed that a lad should experience different places to broaden his horizons, and it would change the person’s outlook.

These were his feelings in recent years, so when Jingrui said he wanted to go, Shen Chengyao agreed immediately without any objection, and Mrs. Liu also supported it.

Xiao’er rolled her eyes, this was blatant favoritism!

She had worked so hard to convince them, but as soon as her elder brother spoke up, everyone was just short of raising their feet in approval!

Having reincarnated, why didn’t she understand the need to find a male body? Xiao’er looked contemptuously at her own body. She should have felt grateful!

Next time! Next time if I reincarnate again, I’ll definitely choose to be in a male body, of course on the premise that I’m not heading to a matriarchal world!

If she wanted to go northwest, she had to follow the army.

"Yang Liu, send someone out to find the Fourth Prince, and tell him that I have something to discuss with him." As soon as she got the consent of Mr. and Mrs. Shen Chengyao, Xiao’er began to make arrangements.

The army was setting off tomorrow.

Xiao’er, disguised as a man, waited for Shangguan Xuanjun in a private room at the Four Seasons Restaurant.

Shangguan Xuanjun arrived promptly with Shangguan Xuanhao.

"Second Prince, Fourth Prince, good fortune to you." Xiao’er rose to her feet, giving them a formal bow.

The two of them raised their eyebrows as they saw her appearance.

"Girl, without your voice, I wouldn’t know it was you! What are you planning now that you’re disguised like this?"

Are you really human underneath that ghostly mask?

Xiao’er cursed Shangguan Xuanhao in her heart, then proceeded to personally pour a cup of tea for Shangguan Xuanjun: "Fourth Prince, please have some tea."

"What about mine? Don’t you know you should respect the older before the younger?" Shangguan Xuanhao was dissatisfied as Xiao’er bypassed him to serve Shangguan Xuanjun tea.

"But I only mentioned meeting the Fourth Prince." She replied, there was no need to be so courteous to those uninvited.

"Stingy!" Shangguan Xuanhao poured tea for himself, it wasn’t like he didn’t have hands!

"What does the Lady of Rui’an County seek from this prince?"

Shangguan Xuanjun shook his head, picked up his teacup, and tried the tea. His second elder brother always had a sharp tongue.

"I want to follow the army to the northwest."

Hearing this, Shangguan Xuanjun spat out his mouthful of tea.

Shangguan Xuanhao, who was pouring tea for himself, was startled by Xiao’er’s words, and the hot tea fell onto his hand which made him jump.

"No!" Shangguan Xuanjun flat-out refused. If Shangguan Xuanyi found out he had allowed his precious daughter-in-law to go to that place, wouldn’t he face a skinning and a bone-grinding punishment?

"Why?"

"Because you’re a woman! That’s a battlefield, what could you possibly do there!" Shangguan Xuanhao spoke matter-of-factly.

This was blatant gender discrimination!

Xiao’er nodded, then gave them a bow: "Then, I’ll take my leave."

With that, Xiao’er turned around to leave.

She gave up just like that?

That’s not like her at all!

"Are you giving up just like that?" Shangguan Xuanhao voiced out his confusion.

"Not at all, I could always secretly follow the army! If not, I can go there myself!" Xiao’er turned her head back and spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world!

Yes, if you openly discriminate against her gender, then she’d openly threaten you!

Shangguan Xuanjun once again choked on his tea!

Shangguan Xuanyi, you better come back here now and deal with your own wife! I’m so annoyed!
