Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Chapter 741 Failure
As the carriage drove away from the Zhao residence, Tang Wan leaned against the carriage wall, closing her eyes to rest.

With sales channels secured, cellars expanded, and manpower prepared, all that's left is for the canned goods to be delivered to Zhao's grain shop tomorrow. This whole game has taken another steady step forward.

Next, we just have to wait and see how the market reacts.

It was almost lunchtime when I got home.

After a simple lunch, Tang Wan was heading back to her room to take a short nap.

As a result, Chen Da came to report that the slave trader had arrived with the six men he had selected.

"Let them wait," Tang Wan instructed, getting up to straighten her clothes.

A moment later, she came to the corridor.

Three women, all around thirty years old, stood in the courtyard. Their clothes were old but clean, and they all had their heads slightly lowered.

The other three men also looked honest and kind.

The human trafficker stood to the side, a smile plastered on his face.

"Greetings, young lady." Upon seeing Tang Wan emerge, the slave trader hurriedly bowed, and several others followed suit.

Tang Wan's gaze swept calmly over the six faces.

The people in front of me did not have a cunning or treacherous look, nor did they have a mean or acerbic appearance.

Tang Wan understood.

Chen Da is indeed reliable in his work; the people he chooses all appear to be honest and capable.

"Raise your heads, everyone," Tang Wan said gently.

Everyone looked up as instructed.

"Once you enter the Tang family, following the rules and working diligently are the most important things." Tang Wan's gaze slowly swept over them. "The family provides food and lodging, and monthly wages are paid according to the rules. If you do well, you will naturally be rewarded. But if you cheat or do something dishonest, you will have to bear the consequences yourself."

Everyone quickly responded, "Yes, young lady, we will definitely do our job well."

Tang Wan nodded slightly and turned to Chen Da: "Uncle Chen, take them downstairs and settle them in. You can arrange the arrangements!"

"Yes, young lady." Chen Da respectfully replied and led the six new servants away.

After dealing with the new employee, Tang Wan turned around and went back to her room.

Seeing that her sister was already resting in the inner room, Tang Wan did not go in.

She took out all the newly developed creams from the previous batch and placed them under her desk in the outer room.

These are the new products that I'll be giving to Zhuxi tomorrow so she can have regular customers try them out.

After finishing all this, Tang Wan's gaze fell on the paperweight on the desk, which suddenly reminded her of her promise yesterday to make another new doll for little Huang Ying.

Huang Ying is a lovely and lively girl, and I get along very well with her.

Moreover, his younger brother Tang Mubai is now the last disciple of Master Zheng, and Madam Huang is a married daughter of the Zheng family, Master Zheng's own daughter.

Such a relationship naturally warrants closeness.

"What I promise, I must do," Tang Wan muttered to herself as she walked to the desk and sat down.

Without further ado, Tang Wan spread out the Xuan paper, ground the ink, and picked up the brush.

The last doll was a cute little dog. After thinking for a moment, Tang Wan drew a cute little rabbit.

He picked up the paper, shook it slightly, and then put it down.

I'll make a doll for you after you've had your rest.

After finishing these tasks, Tang Wan went back to her room for a short rest.

Tang Wan wasn't sleeping soundly. Just as she began to stir, she clearly heard Er Ya's slightly anxious voice echo in her mind: "Master! Master!"

Tang Wan felt a chill run down her spine, and all sleepiness vanished.

Er Ya wouldn't call out like that while she was resting unless it was something important.

She immediately sat up and hurriedly asked, "Er Ya? I'm here! What's wrong?" Er Ya replied quickly, "Master, the War King sent me to deliver a message! There has been a change in the war in the Southern Desert!"

Tang Wan's heart jumped: "How badly is the War King injured?"

Although she was also concerned about the war in the Southern Desert, the War King's health was her biggest concern.

"Under your miraculous medicine and the care of the military doctor, the prince's injuries have basically improved! His internal strength has recovered to 70-80%, and he can move freely!" Er Ya's voice carried a hint of joy.

Then Er Ya paused for a moment, and said in a somewhat solemn tone, "It is precisely because the War King's body has almost recovered that the Prince has decided to no longer delay and to launch a full-scale attack on Haiyue City!"

All-out attack!

Tang Wan's heart sank.

Haiyue City is a major town in the Southern Desert, where a large army is stationed.

Minor skirmishes are fine, and surprise attacks are also acceptable.

However, it's uncertain how confident the War King is in launching a full-scale attack.

Moreover, although the War King's injuries have improved, the battlefield is ever-changing, and swords have no eyes; how can one feel at ease?

"When will it start?" Her voice unconsciously became a little tense.

"The War King has already begun preparations, possibly within the next day or two!" Er Ya hurriedly replied.

The War King didn't say, and she wasn't entirely sure either.

Then, Er Ya added, "The War King said that this battle is inevitable, and the longer it drags on, the greater the variables will become. He told you not to worry too much, and that he will act carefully."

No need to worry?

Tang Wan smiled bitterly; how could she not be worried?

But what could she do, even with a thousand worries, from a thousand miles away?

She was neither a strategist nor a commander-in-chief, nor could she personally lead troops into battle.

Although she possesses spatial and array abilities, they are too far-fetched to address her immediate needs.

This feeling of powerlessness made her chest feel tight and uncomfortable.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

Worrying was useless; she had to do what she could.

Thinking of this, Tang Wan's voice became even more serious: "Er Ya, you must protect the War King! Stay by his side every step of the way! Your duty is to protect him; he is your last line of defense!"

In her mind, Er Ya's voice said firmly, "Master, rest assured! As long as Er Ya is here, the Prince is here! Otherwise, we will never allow anyone to harm the Prince in the slightest!"

Tang Wan nodded, trusting in Er Ya's loyalty and abilities.

But she was still worried.

Tang Wan hesitated for a moment, but still asked a crucial question: "Er Ya, the 'Seven Star Life-Protecting Array' on the War King protected him from the High Priest's fatal blow last time. Is that array still there? Can it still be used?"

Er Ya paused for a moment, then shook her head helplessly. Only then did she realize that her master couldn't see her, so she stammered, "Master, the formation... has completely failed. The prince said that the formation withstood the high priest's full-force attack, exhausting all its power, and the formation patterns have dissipated."

As expected! Tang Wan's heart sank heavily.

Without this life-saving charm, the War King's chances of survival on the battlefield have increased significantly.

Moreover, the War King's body has not fully recovered.

How can one not worry?
Tang Wan remained silent for a moment before recovering and instructing Er Ya, "Er Ya, go back to the War King's side! Tell him to be extremely careful! Haiyue City is impregnable; a direct assault requires strategy, not brute force! Make sure he... returns safely!"

"Yes, Master! Er Ya understands!" Er Ya quickly replied, engraving every word Tang Wan said in her heart.

Hearing Er Ya's response, Tang Wan felt much more at ease: "Okay, thank you for your hard work!"

"Take care, Master. Er Ya will go right away!" Er Ya replied readily without hesitation.

Despite severing all contact, Tang Wan's heart remained with the battlefield thousands of miles away.
