Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1702: Chapter 1701: Can’t Take Her Away

Then came a long round of persuasion, during which Tong Sanlang even tried to carry her away by force. Bei Yun did not hesitate to order his men to fire.

Even without Qiao Xiaomai’s Floral Dew, he had herbal medicine to suppress the poison in his body. Qiao Xiaomai’s Floral Dew was not an irreplaceable necessity.

The situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for him.

The Bei family had actually joined Daqi’s army. If the martial arts skills of the Bei family members were all comparable to Bei Lingsu’s—no, even if they were only at the level of ordinary experts—it would still be a significant disadvantage for him.

Now the two armies were facing off. Daqi had the Divine Crossbows, and the Three Kingdoms’ side also had Divine Crossbows. Daqi had bombs too, but he wasn’t overly concerned about them; for someone at his level, bombs weren’t much of a threat.

However, the addition of the Bei family to Daqi’s forces was another story. He had no idea how many members of the Bei family had come. Even if there were only a dozen, they undoubtedly all knew how to use poison.

Initially, he had thought that the outcome of this war would hinge on the use of poison. He and Bei Lingsu alone were worth an army of thousands; the victor would depend on whose poisons affected a broader area and caused greater devastation.

On his side, he was the only one. Daqi, however, now had the Bei family, and these family members would become stalwart assistants to Bei Lingsu. The sudden addition of so many skilled poisoners meant they could scatter poison widely, causing far more casualties than he could.

This war was unwinnable under such circumstances. He was almost certain to lose.

Thus, Qiao Xiaomai had to stay. She was his hostage, his protective charm. If the Three Kingdoms truly lost, holding Qiao Xiaomai as a hostage would surely save his life.

Although living was agony for him, and the mortal realm felt like hell, he wasn’t ready to report to the real hell just yet. He had struggled to survive up to this point, and he wouldn’t give up until the very last moment.

Bei Yun gave the order to fire. The rain of arrows unleashed by the Divine Crossbows was so dense that it nearly smothered the air, weaving into a net of arrows that bore down on them.

These arrows were exceptionally powerful, capable of piercing through a person in one shot. The white silk in Bei Lingsu’s hands swirled rapidly, wrapping around her, Tong Sanlang, and Qiao Xiaomai to protect them. She and Tong Sanlang used their inner strength to sustain the white silk as they struggled to break through along their original route.

Outside the Duan residence, an ambush awaited them, comprising a Divine Crossbow Team armed with the deadly weapons. If they could join forces with the Divine Crossbows there, they might genuinely manage to break out.

However, there were too many people from the Duan family, all densely packed and armed with Divine Crossbows. The force of the arrows fired by the Divine Crossbows was overwhelming, forcing them to use their inner strength to bolster the white silk and fend off the attacks.

But human strength was finite, while the arrows of the Divine Crossbows could be fired one after another in rapid succession. Their inner strength diminished with every bit they used, while the rain of arrows from the black-clad assailants showed no sign of abating.

At this rate, before he and Tong Sanlang could break through, their inner strength would be entirely drained.

If that happened, both she and Tong Sanlang would be left behind here as well.

Just then, Bei Yun suddenly ordered the attack to cease.

His figure shifted, blocking their path ahead. “Aunt Lingsu, give it up. You and Tong Sanlang may leave, but Qiao Xiaomai must stay.”

Bei Lingsu said nothing, her beautiful face darkened with anger.

Tong Sanlang, hugging Qiao Xiaomai tightly, also remained silent.

Seeing this, Bei Yun smiled slyly and added, “While no one has been hurt yet, you and Tong Sanlang should leave quickly. Aunt Lingsu, do me a favor. Otherwise, when Prince Fengbao arrives, it’ll be difficult for me to explain.”

The Duan family had to reside within Longshi Country’s territory, so they had to show deference to Prince Fengbao, the host.

If Prince Fengbao were here, he would undoubtedly command them to kill Tong Sanlang and Bei Lingsu without hesitation.
