Chapter 285 Mission Accomplished
The situation calmed down that night, and Gu Xixi and He Jinglan stayed at the farm for a few days with peace of mind.
During this period, Gu Xixi met Lieutenant General Zhang of the Northwest Army.
Lieutenant General Zhang said that more than a dozen killers were captured, and two deeply buried assassins were also uprooted and handed over to the Qingtian County Government.
Deputy General Zhang smiled and said, "This time we have to thank Boss Gu and Miss He. When the general was here, he had already eliminated many of the secret agents of various factions in the court."
"When the army was on the march, we were afraid that these people would take the opportunity to cause chaos, so we screened them openly and covertly."
"The only two places that slipped through the net were probably never used unless necessary. They were hidden very deeply. As a result, they were lured out by Boss Gu and Miss He this time, giving us the opportunity to clean them all up."
Being able to eliminate all the hidden spies and assassins in the northwest is not only a great achievement, but also puts an end to the worries of Lieutenant General Zhang and other generals who stayed behind.
So even though Lieutenant General Zhang had been busy for three consecutive days and nights, he still did not look tired. He looked quite refreshed while chatting and laughing.
Gu Xixi was also genuinely delighted, "Then our escape was a blessing in disguise."
He Jinglan agreed, "That's right, the risk I took this time was not in vain, I achieved three goals with one stone, it was totally worth it!"
He saved himself, his village and his family, and also helped the Northwest Army eliminate spies.
Deputy General Zhang assured, "The garrisons in various places have already set up checkpoints and strengthened their defenses. This time we will clean up the house thoroughly, and no one will harm the two girls again."
Finally free, Gu Xixi and He Jinglan smiled at each other, unable to hide their excitement.
Lieutenant General Zhang still had to lead his troops back to the border.
When they were about to say goodbye outside the farm, Gu Xixi said, "For the plan I handed over, you should first buy the seeds and follow it step by step. Once I finish my work here, you can leave immediately."
Deputy General Zhang smiled and said, "That's great."
"General Liu was both happy and worried when he read the list you wrote."
"I'm happy that we can get another batch of stored grain and winter vegetables. But I'm worried that without your directing in person, we won't be able to do well."
"Now that you said you would go there in person, I feel relieved and confident."
Gu Xixi also smiled and said, "Fertilizers and the like will be delivered in two days, but these are the products made in Boss An's workshop."
Vice Admiral Zhang understood and said, "No problem. I will report to General Liu first when I get back."
"When the goods arrive, you can settle the account directly."
After seeing off Deputy General Zhang, Gu Xixi turned back to the farm and started working.
To build a simple greenhouse, you just need to find some long bamboo strips, soften them slightly over fire, and bend them into semicircular arcs.
Then fix a semicircular bamboo strip at regular intervals in the field.
Anyway, it's just a small experimental field, with a height of only half a person reserved. In the future, Gu Xixi can just bend over to go in and out, and finish the farm work in it by herself.
He Jinglan called all her secret guards over and asked them to do farm work with Gu Xixi.
The weather is still hot now, so there is no need to cover the greenhouse with film.
The work is basically completed by simply inserting the bamboo strips into the pre-designated positions.
He Jinglan was in a good mood when she thought about going to the border again. She asked Gu Xixi, "What good things did you ask them to grow? Can they grow both grain and vegetables?"
Gu Xixi smiled and started talking about them one by one.
The planting plan she wrote to the Northwest Army for this season actually did not include any conventional grain crops.
Instead, there are three kinds: yam, pumpkin and white yam.
These three crops are adapted to the border climate and relatively poor soil and water. They have a short maturity period after sowing and require small amounts of pesticides and fertilizers.
Moreover, the mature fruits have the advantages of being resistant to storage, having a high starch content, and being able to replace cereal grains.
It not only contains vitamins and crude fiber from vegetables, but can also be used to fill the stomach. It is definitely a very suitable military ration for the Northwest Army which lacks vegetables in winter.
He Jinglan sighed, "You really think it through. Not only do you think about how to grow it, you also think about how to eat it. No wonder the people in the army are happy to see you."
The oatmeal noodles that Gu Xixi recommended have become a regular staple food in the military.
I heard that the kitchen battalion has developed more cooking methods and flavors, which are well received by the soldiers.
Gu Xixi smiled, "People have to eat to survive, and this is the same for everyone."
On the other side, Fengcheng had just been attacked.
Mu Nanzhao received the secret letter and his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot after reading it.
Master Liu's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "Did something happen in the village?"
Mu Nanzhao didn't answer, but just threw the letter to him.
Master Liu read ten lines at a glance, and cold sweat broke out as he read. Only at the end did he let out a long sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, it was a safe bet."
But when he looked at Mu Nanzhao again, he was filled with anger.
"She knows very well that after you and I leave, she will be safest if she stays in the village. As long as she doesn't leave the village, even if there are more attacks, even if the village is destroyed or burned, there will be people who can protect her family!"
"Tell me, why did she choose to take such a risk?"
Master Liu was helpless. It was the first time he saw Mu Nanzhao so angry and say so many words in one breath.
Boss Gu really created a lot of exceptions.
Poor Master Liu, he has to suffer from both sides every now and then.
Master Liu could only bite the bullet and say, "Boss Gu worked hard to protect himself, and at the same time he did a good thing for the Northwest Army."
"If she hadn't left the village and entered the farm, those spies wouldn't have been able to..."
As expected of Mu Nanzhao, his emotions have calmed down at this moment.
"She worked very hard and did a good job. She couldn't bear to leave the village, the villagers being implicated, and most of all, her fields and crops being burned."
"But has she ever thought about herself?"
Master Liu smiled and said, "Based on my understanding of Boss Gu, she shouldn't be the kind of person who would volunteer to die. Otherwise, she wouldn't have sent a letter to the Northwest Army in advance."
"But what if?" Mu Nanzhao asked coldly, "What if General Liu encounters an emergency and is unable to dispatch troops, or is too late to make it in time?"
Thinking about how Gu Xixi spent the three days trapped in the farm, he still couldn't help but feel scared!
Mu Nanzhao looked towards the east with deep eyes.
That is the direction of the capital.
He was worried about Gu Xixi, and the only way was to attack the capital as soon as possible and put an end to it all...
For several days in a row, farm work was done on the farm.
The seedlings of winter melon, cucumber and tomato were successfully raised and transplanted.
At the same time, he continued to dig the soil and apply base fertilizer, waiting for An Qinghe to dig up all the tea trees at the foot of the mountain in Huachidu Village, and personally loaded them onto trucks and delivered them.
The next step is to separate the seedlings, prune, transplant, shade and cover, and wait for the tea trees to grow.
Gu Xixi's experimental tea garden was moved to the farm, and after transplanting the seedlings, its scale doubled.
After doing all this, the goal of her trip was finally accomplished.
That afternoon, Gu Xixi returned home.
Aunt Zhang had no idea of the danger that had happened. She just thought that Gu Xixi had come back from work. While preparing something delicious, she said, "When you were away, Uncle Gu came to our house."
Gu Xixi was startled and frowned, "What is he doing here?"
