"Okay! Then be careful."
Lin Yuxin thought it would be good for him to find out more, so she agreed. She then took out several medicine bottles from her pocket and handed them to Li Xiaochen.
"Take these medicines with you. There are antidotes, hemostatics, and anti-inflammatory drugs. Take them all. Although it's just a check-up, we can't be careless since it's related to the northern border."
"Very well, I have remembered it all."
Li Xiaochen smiled as he watched Lin Yuxin worry about him, and said with a doting smile.
"Don't laugh, I'm being serious."
Lin Yuxin was speechless when she saw his beaming smile and rolled her eyes at him.
[Laughing! This involves major issues between two countries, and you're still laughing!]
"Alright, I'm not made of paper. I'm just going to take a look. If there's a problem, I'll definitely stay far away."
As Li Xiaochen spoke, he pulled Lin Yuxin into his arms, and before Lin Yuxin could react, she was already in his embrace.
"What are you doing?"
Lin Yuxin was dumbfounded! They were talking peacefully, how did they end up hugging? She struggled a couple of times but couldn't break free, so she could only glare at Li Xiaochen.
"Xin'er, I'm not doing anything! I just want to hug you. We've been so busy every day lately, you haven't had a chance to sit down and spend time with me."
Li Xiaochen rested his chin on Lin Yuxin's shoulder and whispered.
A slightly magnetic voice rang in Lin Yuxin's ears, instantly sending shivers down her spine. She unconsciously took a step back, but no longer wanted to leave his embrace.
"Then you can hug me for a while!"
Hearing his aggrieved expression, Lin Yuxin couldn't bear it and gave in. Well, she wasn't a proper ancient woman, and a hug wouldn't hurt her.
But Lin Yuxin's thinking was too simplistic.
The two quietly enjoyed the tranquility of the moment, but gradually Lin Yuxin began to sense that something was wrong.
Why does my butt feel increasingly uncomfortable? Should I tell Li Xiaochen?
Lin Yuxin couldn't help but wiggle a few times because it was really uncomfortable on her butt. The next second, Lin Yuxin froze.
[Damn it, Li Xiaochen, that big pervert! I knew something was bothering me, and it turned out to be…!]
After Lin Yuxin understood what was going on, she abruptly broke free from Li Xiaochen's hand, stood up, her face flushed, glared at Li Xiaochen angrily, and growled:
You scoundrel!
Then, blushing, she ran out, cursing as she went.
[This pervert, it was just a hug, how could he not control himself? So embarrassing!! But, hehe... he seems to have quite a bit to offer?]
Li Xiaochen was left sitting there, looking helplessly at the ground beneath him, thinking to himself: Look how anxious you were, you scared the person away. Now look what happened, you won't even let me hug you.
Looking at Lin Yuxin's back, he still felt a little wronged. She used to like touching his body, but now she doesn't? Or is it that once she got something, she no longer cherishes it?
Li Xiaochen sat there for a while, and only got up and left after he calmed down.
The next day, Lin Yuxin got up very early because Li Xiaochen was going out to check on things in Quyan County, and the people also needed to make new arrangements, so she had to get up early.
Lin Yuxin had breakfast with Xiao Hao when she saw Li Xiaochen return from outside.
"I thought you had already left, why are you back?"
Lin Yuxin didn't see Li Xiaochen after she got up, so she assumed he had already left. But now he had come back from outside, so she asked him curiously.
"Before I left, I made arrangements for the government office. I left Wang Yu behind and told him to do whatever he needed to do. I took Shui Mei with me."
Li Xiaochen didn't waste any words, sat down directly, and spoke softly to Lin Yuxin.
"Take Wang Yu with you. I have enough people here. I'm not comfortable leaving you alone."
Lin Yuxin did not agree. When Li Xiaochen came out, he only brought Wang Yu with him, and with the two trusted confidants who had just arrived in Shui Mei, he only had two more.
If he doesn't keep him by his side, there won't be anyone to help him if something happens.
"No need. I have my own bodyguards, and I will keep them with me. Wang Yu is here to protect the city. This place is too close to the Northern Frontier. If this is related to the Northern Frontier, there is a possibility that there are already spies in the Northern City. So, it is better to be careful."
Li Xiaochen shook his head and decided to keep Wang Yu behind.
Seeing his resolute expression, Lin Yuxin agreed.
"All right!"
Li Xiaochen didn't stay long this time. After finishing his business, he got up and left Beicheng with Shui Mei.
Lin Yuxin watched him leave from the entrance of the government office, took a deep breath, and turned back to the government office.
Lin Yuxin gathered everyone together and began distributing new tasks.
“Zhao Er, starting today, you will distribute not only grain but also seeds. Distribute both at the same time. Anyone who owns land can come and collect seeds. Also, appease the villagers outside the city and let them all go back.”
"Just say that a water source has been found, so the seeds have a chance to survive. Moreover, my seeds are heat-resistant and drought-resistant, making them very suitable for planting in the northern city. Let them take the seeds and half a month's worth of food and go back."
Lin Yuxin was referring to the sweet potatoes and potatoes in her space. She planned to take them all out, write down the characteristics of these seeds, and have the officials from the capital check them. With them there, she wouldn't have to worry about planting crops for the time being.
"yes!"
Zhao Yi respectfully replied.
“Zhao Yi, you don’t need to plant trees for now. Leave the tree planting to the villagers you hired and let them do it. You go and dig a dam, starting from the river at the foot of Fengshen Mountain and digging outwards.”
"Oh! By the way, remember to bring those high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Works along. Aren't they supposed to be serving the country and its people? We can't let them down. Besides, this is their job, isn't it?"
