Chapter 65

He forcibly suppressed the towering rage in his heart.

He could not fall into this despicable person\'s trap.

This despicable person wanted to enrage him, wanted to slap him in the face, wanted to trample his dignity underfoot! He could not get angry over a woman.

Pei Changying thought resentfully in his heart, but his trembling hands from anger still betrayed his emotions.

Be enraged.

In a few days.

Pei Changying would be even more enraged!

Because.

At this time, the Lingnan region finally received great news.

"Elder Princess! Found it!"

"The sweet potato vines have been found! Come quickly, take a look and see if these are it."

Counselor Fang hurriedly rushed over while holding some fresh sweet potato vines, finding the Elder Princess who was supervising the production of weapons to report the situation.

The fresh sweet potato vines were still covered in dirt.

The Elder Princess did not mind at all, taking them in her hands with an emotional expression to carefully identify them.

The more she looked.

The more they resembled the vines and leaves that Gu Sang had previously shown her.

"I will go confirm immediately, you stay here and supervise the work." The Elder Princess quickly returned to her room and actively initiated a connection with Gu Sang.

During those few seconds of waiting.

The usually composed expression of the Elder Princess was about to crack, her excited emotions difficult to calm.

*Ding!*

*Received connection from ancient times, accept connection?*

*Accept!*

Soon.

Gu Sang\'s face was reflected in the Elder Princess\'s vision.

There was no need for them to be polite anymore, and the Elder Princess directly took out the vines and presented them before Gu Sang, asking: "Gu Sang, look and see if these are sweet potato vines?"

The Elder Princess\'s expression was calm, but the impatience in the depths of her eyes revealed that she was not as tranquil as her surface!

Upon hearing this.

Gu Sang\'s gaze immediately fell upon the vines.

This second, the surrounding atmosphere became extremely grave!

It must be!

It must be!

The sooner they were found, the closer they were to success!

Gu Sang\'s pupils shook, and she immediately raised her head and said: "Yes! It is! This is the sweet potato vine, it\'s no wonder you\'ve been searching day and night in the deep mountains, and you\'ve finally found it!"

"I can see the vines are still fresh, you should have someone dig around in the soil later and see if there are any sweet potatoes."

"After confirming that there are indeed sweet potatoes in the soil, quickly gather all hands and acquire them at the fastest speed possible, don\'t leave a single sweet potato vine for Pei Changying."

"Got it, I\'ll take care of it right away, don\'t worry."

The Elder Princess was in a hurry to confirm this matter, so she ended the conversation in just a few sentences.

She deeply exhaled in relief.

She immediately found Counselor Fang and had him take her to the place where the sweet potato vines were found, ordering people to quickly excavate the surrounding land.

In less than ten minutes, Counselor Fang shouted in surprise: "Elder Princess!!"

"There are some, there really are some, come quickly and see if these are sweet potatoes!"

The small sweet potatoes before them were only as big as a finger, with a reddish-purple skin, and when split in two, the inside revealed a tender, juicy yellow flesh.

It is them!

The Elder Princess felt her breathing quicken.

She took the sweet potato and examined it over and over, not minding the dirt on the skin, wiping it clean with her hands before taking a bite directly.

It was the taste that Gu Sang had described!

Slightly sweet, crisp, able to free the people from hunger!

"Elder Princess, I\'ve heard that this thing has very strong reproductive abilities, growing by the roadsides without anyone tending to it, reproducing on its own."

"The villagers felt that it was obstructing the roads growing there, so they pulled it all out."

"Just as young lady Gu said, there really are sweet potatoes in the Lingnan region, but no one knew they were edible. Now that we have them, our soldiers\' food supply is guaranteed!"

Counselor Fang said with an excited, flushed face.

The fact that these sweet potato vines could survive by the roadside without any tending proved that this crop had an extraordinarily high yield and resilience!

With just a little cultivation, it wouldn\'t be long before they could secure the daily needs of the soldiers.

"Since this village has sweet potato vines, I believe other places must have them too."

"Counselor Fang, immediately issue a message that I want to acquire these vines. For the first three days, ten pounds of vines can be exchanged for one tael of silver."

"For the last three days, ten pounds of vines can only be exchanged for half a tael of silver!"

"I want all the people of Lingnan to help clear out all the sweet potato vines within these three days!"

Counselor Fang looked deeply at the Elder Princess.

He then immediately had people issue the message throughout the Lingnan region, even having artists draw illustrations of the vines, and sent soldiers to every village to acquire the sweet potato vines.

She had to monopolize the sweet potato vines before Pei Changying could react.

The Elder Princess knew that relying solely on her own soldiers, it would be impossible to reach every corner of Lingnan in a short time.

But if she offered money to acquire them, the villagers would scour the mountains and fields to find them for her.

Moreover, the high price for the first three days, with the price comparison, would drive the villagers to exhaust all efforts to find every last vine within those three days!

"What? The Elder Princess wants to acquire this stuff? There\'s plenty of it behind our village!"

"Whew! This vine that\'s all over the mountains, ten pounds can be exchanged for a tael of silver? But only for three days, after that it won\'t be this price anymore? Oh my goodness!"

"His mother, his grandmother! Quick, come out, everyone follow me to the mountains behind the village to find sweet potato vines!"

"Hurry, hurry, we\'re going to get rich! Hahaha! We can earn dozens or even hundreds of taels!"

The moment the message was issued!

The entire Lingnan region was in an uproar, with villagers everywhere searching for sweet potato vines.

Within just a week\'s time, all the sweet potato vines in the Lingnan region were monopolized!

The occasional one or two vines that were missed, even if found by Pei Changying and others, would be of no use in such a short time.

He was finished!

By the time the Elder Princess had batches of sweet potato vines and a large quantity of small sweet potatoes secretly transported to the plague city for cultivation.

Zhou Qichen, who was in charge of training the soldiers\' combat skills, came quickly to the Elder Princess\'s side and said: "Elder Princess, according to the scouts\' reports, the army sent by the Imperial Court will arrive in Lingnan tomorrow."

The Elder Princess looked towards the distant horizon, her eyes reflecting the towering sky and the mountains and rivers stretching for miles.

Her expression was indifferent, her tone calm: "How many people are coming?"

"Estimated over a thousand."

The Elder Princess gave a disdainful laugh: "Just this many people? Pei Changying really didn\'t let me down, hesitating when he should be decisive, decisive when he should hesitate, what a waste!"

"At this moment, if he dares to order tens of thousands of soldiers to fight us to the bitter end in Lingnan, he may still have a chance to strangle us in the cradle."

"But after this, he will have no more opportunity!"

"General Zhou Qichen, go and reserve the largest restaurant in the city. Tomorrow, the Elder Princess will host a banquet to welcome the court officials and generals."

Zhou Qichen pursed his lips with some concern: "Elder..."

"It is only a thousand soldiers. What do I have to fear? Moreover, the sweet potato vines have not been completely relocated. For one, the Elder Princess cannot leave, and secondly, I want to ask these ministers if they dare to surrender to me!"
