Chapter 165 The Beauty Trap Fails

"Little sister, the fertilizer you brought last time was amazing! The seedlings I planted have grown taller in just a few days."

Jiang Yutang chuckled upon hearing this, her tone relaxed: "It's good that it's effective. With the help of this fertilizer, the crop harvest in Danzhou will definitely increase significantly next year, and everyone will have more food to eat."

Jiang Jiuzhe nodded, then changed the subject: "You're quick-witted. Besides farming and running shops, do you have any other ideas to make everyone's lives better?"

Jiang Yutang was taken aback by his question and stared at the ground in thought.

A few days ago, at the full moon celebration barbecue, the thought of not having enough meat skewers suddenly came to mind. Her eyes lit up, and she made a suggestion in a low voice.

"Second brother, how about we start a breeding farm?"

"A farm?"

Jiang Jiuzhe's interest was immediately piqued, and he asked with a smile, "Could it be that you can even transport livestock like cattle, sheep, and pigs?"

"Well... I haven't decided yet."

She usually carries inanimate objects with her, and has never tried carrying living beings before. If she could, her future would be limitless.

Jiang Yutang stroked his chin thoughtfully: "I'll discuss it with them later, maybe."

Even if it were possible, cattle, sheep and pigs are too large to be transported in bulk like cargo; they can only be accumulated little by little.

“We can find a few cubs first, and then ask the veterans in the camp with breeding experience to help take care of them, and gradually expand the scale.”

“Finding someone to raise them isn’t difficult,” Jiang Jiuzhe replied immediately, then frowned.

"There is a concern: if the livestock get sick, we lack people here who know veterinary medicine, and the losses will be huge."

"Don't worry about that."

Jiang Yutang said in a serious tone, "As long as it's not a highly contagious disease, most common animal diseases are the same as those in humans, and ordinary doctors can treat them with a little thought. If all else fails, I'll ask my brother to open a course later, and I'll be responsible for teaching everyone how to care for sows."

"You're so mischievous," Jiang Jiuze said with a smile.

The two of them talked back and forth, and soon finalized the initial plan for breeding.

Jiang Yutang originally planned to return to the modern city that night to purchase goods, but now that there were two more things to do, namely breeding and land acquisition for building houses, both of which required Cheng Lanzhou's help to mediate, she decided to go to him first.

She rummaged through her drawer for her hidden treasures and hurried to the military camp.

Upon arriving at the military camp, the soldier who came to announce her arrival told her, "General Cheng has gone to inspect the sentry posts and is expected to be away for a while. If Madam Cheng doesn't mind, please wait in the general's tent."

"Hmm, no rush, I'll wait for him."

As Jiang Yutang followed the soldiers, she looked around.

Although the tent was more spacious than that of ordinary soldiers, the furnishings were very simple, reflecting a sense of frugality.

She couldn't help but sigh that Danzhou was truly impoverished. Whether inside or outside the camp, everyone lived in tents or thatched huts, and even a decent brick house was a rare sight.

Jiang Yutang secretly vowed in her heart: once her shop made money, she would develop the breeding industry and drive the economic development of Danzhou, so that everyone could live in sturdy cement houses.

Lowering the curtain, Jiang Yutang took something out of his bundle, a wicked smile playing on his lips.

Since he had come to ask Cheng Lanzhou for a favor, he should at least try to be courteous.

She first took off her coarse cloth dress and put on a black and red transparent mesh dress that she had brought specially this time.

The skirt hem fell above her knees, and the neckline was embroidered with delicate lace, which made her skin appear even whiter than snow.

She tidied her hair in front of the bronze mirror, and then, imitating Daji from the storybook, lay on her side on the bed covered with a coarse cloth mattress, deliberately bending one of her long, snow-white legs slightly to reveal her slender ankle.

To make her posture more natural, she even practiced blowing kisses at the screen while muttering to herself.

"I don't believe he can resist seeing me like this."

After practicing twice, I heard footsteps outside the tent.

Jiang Yutang's heart skipped a beat. She quickly adjusted her posture and casually raised her hand to play with her hair.

Just as Jiang Yutang was about to raise the corners of her mouth and utter a charming call when the tent flap was lifted, she heard two familiar male voices.

Cheng Lanzhou wasn't the only one who came in!

"General, you really need to reconsider this matter! We have worked hard in Danzhou, and the emperor has issued such an order; he clearly has ulterior motives!"

The head of the guard lowered his voice, his tone full of indignation.

Upon hearing the word "Emperor," Jiang Yutang's mind went blank, and she lay stiffly on the bed.

Seeing that there was no time to change her clothes, she frantically grabbed a folded coarse military coat from the side and held it tightly in front of her, looking frantically at the figure walking in from behind the screen.

Cheng Lanzhou walked ahead, and as soon as she went around the screen, she saw the scene inside and stopped in her tracks, frozen in place.

Late at night, he was surprised to see his wife lying on his bed in a strange dress he had never seen before, in a seductive pose.

The clothes were made of thin fabric and clung tightly to his body, outlining an exceptionally alluring curve, causing his ears to turn red visibly.

Seeing that he suddenly stopped moving, the guards behind Cheng Lanzhou curiously peered over and asked, "General, what's going on inside...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Lanzhou grabbed his head and shoved it back hard.

"go out."

Cheng Lanzhou's voice was low and hoarse, carrying an unquestionable commanding tone.

The guard scratched his head, not understanding why, but still replied "Yes" and left the tent.

The tent fell completely silent. Cheng Lanzhou let out a heavy sigh and walked around the screen to the bedside again.

At this moment, Jiang Yutang had already sat up cross-legged and hurriedly put on the large coarse cloth coat. Her cheeks were so red they looked like they could bleed, and she was glaring at him with a wronged expression.

Cheng Lanzhou couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, reaching out to tug at her clothes: "What are you doing?"

"Didn't you understand?"

Jiang Yutang angrily slapped his hand away, her neck stiff as she said, "I was trying to seduce you! Who knew you brought someone back!"

"oh?"

Cheng Lanzhou drew out his words, sat down on the edge of the bed, and gently loosened the tightly tied drawstring of her dress with his fingers, instantly revealing the lace neckline of her black and red dress, which was both exquisite and sexy.

His Adam's apple bobbed violently twice, and his voice became increasingly hoarse: "Where did these clothes come from?"

Jiang Yutang quickly fastened her clothes again, and seeing that things were not going in the direction she had expected, she slumped her shoulders in dejection.

She originally intended to use her beauty to "bribe" him and get him to help with land approval and the development of the breeding farm, but now she's created a huge embarrassment.

Cheng Lanzhou quickly grabbed her hand and pressed her down onto the couch with a little force. He then leaned closer, his warm breath brushing against her lips, and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Since you've gone to such lengths to wear this, if you don't meet Madam's expectations tonight, I'm afraid there won't be another chance like this in the future, right?"

"You're still laughing!"

At first, Jiang Yutang was sulking and pushing against his chest, but as she was stared at by his burning gaze and felt the warmth of his palm, her pushing gradually turned into a gentle patting that seemed to be both resisting and welcoming.

Seeing this, Cheng Lanzhou smiled and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

The sound of the wind outside the tent gradually faded away, but the temperature inside the tent continued to rise.
