The young couple from the farm fights back

Chapter 109 Jiang Li designs a letter

A few days ago, Jiang Li asked Ming Ye to help build a set of drawers against the wall and set up a small house in the backyard to be used as a pharmacy.

That day, Jiang Li was holding Lan Jie'er in the pharmacy and sorting medicinal materials, storing them according to specifications.

Fang registered them or wrote the names of the herbs on small pieces of paper and stuck them on the drawer doors.

"Adenophora~"

"Cuckoo~"

Jiang Li was holding a small piece of Adenophora Root in her hand and teasing the little girl in her arms. Sister Lan smiled with her eyes curved, which was very pleasing.

Seeing this, Fang Shi couldn't help but envy and said with a smile: "Madam, you should teach my little sister to know medicine while she is still young. I think that when my little sister grows up, she will definitely be as capable as you."

"That's hard to say." Jiang Li looked at Lan Jie'er in his arms with tender eyes. "I just hope they grow up healthily. These are troubled times, and I dare not speculate on their future. If they can learn a little trick, it would be good to keep it to protect my life."

Fang: "Who says it's not?"

The two were talking.

At this moment, a shadow gathered outside the open lobby.

"Lady Li."

Jiang Li raised her eyes and saw Ming Ye and Dashuan, who had left the island yesterday to gather intelligence in Yanzhou, had returned.

"How's the situation in the city?"

Dashuan replied, "As you expected, the plague is indeed raging in Yanzhou City. The Huai Army stationed inside and outside the city has been weakened, and countless people have died from the plague."

Jiang Li smiled knowingly. Since ancient times, wars and riots have always been followed by plagues.

The Huai Army acted brutally and massacred countless people. The bodies of innocent civilians were scattered all over the city. Two months earlier, the city was hit by continuous spring rains, and the virus spread.

What they are experiencing now is also the retribution for the evil deeds committed by the Huai Army.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li looked at Ming Ye: "You told me earlier that there are homing pigeons on the island that can find their way independently."

Mingye nodded: "Yes, my lady."

Homing pigeons have a strong homing instinct and will always find a way to return home no matter how far they are taken. However, this requires repeated training and a fixed, accurate route.

The method of raising carrier pigeons on the island was learned from the ancestor's sorcerer. Not only can they independently identify directions and find the target indicated by the owner to deliver letters accurately, they also build a bridge for Changsheng Island to communicate with the outside world.

"If we're not sure where the destination is, could a carrier pigeon deliver the letter?"

Ming Ye thought for a moment and nodded, "Madam Li, if the target is highly recognizable and not a person, there should be no problem using a carrier pigeon to deliver the letter."

Jiang Li probably understood the instinct of carrier pigeons to find their targets, and asked in surprise, "But are there people on the island who can communicate with carrier pigeons and instill target information into them? During the delivery of the pigeons, they can identify the outside world through communication and deliver the letters?"

"Exactly."

"I wonder if I could borrow the carrier pigeons on the island?"

Fang, who was standing beside him, blinked in confusion, "Madam, are you delivering a letter to your master?"

Earlier, Fang learned that the husband of Lady Li's family was arrested and conscripted by the imperial court in the countryside. Now that the world is in chaos and war is raging, she doesn't know whether Lady Li's family is safe.

Jiang Li took a deep breath and said, "No."

Zhou Chunfeng's target is too small and difficult to identify. If he is still alive and well in Wang Jun, it is impossible for someone to call his name all the time so that the carrier pigeons can know.

Jiang Li looked at Ming Ye again. "I heard you say earlier that in the war outside, besides the imperial army fighting fiercely with the various princes, there are also rogues from the Western Regions and other foreign countries taking the opportunity to disrupt the situation. Is there also an army that rises up to quell the war on behalf of the people?"

"To answer Lady Li's question, this is indeed the rebel army."

"Well, rather than letting the Huai Army continue to control Yanzhou City, it would be better to let the rebel army recapture the city."

The reason why Jiang Li did this was not only because he hated the Huai Army for burning, killing, looting and abusing civilians, but also because Changsheng Island was the closest to Yanzhou City.

Once Yanzhou fell into the hands of the Huai Army, it would be even more difficult for her husband, who was in Wang's army, to contact her.

Let the rebels charge into battle, at least to ensure that the war in Yanzhou City ends in the hands of the rebels, and also give her enough time to find a way to contact Zhou Chunfeng.

Dashuan's brain was a little slow to react, but he understood Jiang Li's intention: "Sister-in-law, the city is now full of plague. If we don't mention the rebels, will they be willing to listen to the news we convey? If the rebels are caught up in this plague and the two sides are evenly matched, wouldn't Yanzhou City be in ruins again?"

Jiang Li smiled when he heard that. The many experiences he had in these days had broadened Dashuan's horizons, even though he used to only work in the fields to farm.

"That's right. So, the letter comes with a recipe for curing the plague. What do you think?"

Everyone suddenly understood and was even more surprised.

For Yu Mingye and the tribesmen on the island, as long as the intelligence information is not sent to the royal army, they are willing to lend a helping hand to the rebels.

"However, this matter still needs to be consulted with the island owner. Otherwise, it will not be good to make the island owner unhappy." Jiang Li said.

Fang pursed her lips, glanced at the man in charge, and said hesitantly, "Madam, my mother-in-law is the descendant of that sorcerer. She is the only one on the island who is proficient in taming."

Now it was Jiang Li's turn to be surprised. After a while, he asked, "Why haven't I heard that Yuan Niang also knows the art of divination before?"

Ming Ye bowed and said, "Madam Li, my grandfather and my mother did not acquire such skills. My great-grandfather was truly loyal, so—"

Jiang Li blinked helplessly. He was truly a loyal general and loyal minister.

Ming Ye and the others didn't know that Jiang Li had learned their origins from the island owner, and they didn't know that there was a connection between her and the island owner.

Jiang Li thought for a moment and asked, "But your family also domesticates carrier pigeons?"

"Exactly."

This matter became simpler, so he said, "I wonder if I can ask Yuan Niang for help?"

"I will go find my mother and tell her about this."

Yuan Niang was cooking beef bone soup in the kitchen. Today, a family on the island killed an old cow and sent a few beef bones with tendons and some beef.

When he learned that Jiang Li needed to send a letter outside the island, he immediately went home and picked out the smartest carrier pigeon to deliver it.

After lunch, Jiang Li wrote the letter and the prescription and tied them securely to the pigeon's legs.

She stood in the corridor and witnessed Yuan Niang communicating with the carrier pigeon.

Yuan Niang kept muttering to herself, and the carrier pigeon turned its head and chirped twice, as if in response.

The magical sense of the picture is breathtaking.

As the carrier pigeon flew away, Yuan Niang turned and bowed to Jiang Lifu. "Madam, I have instructed the carrier pigeon on its route, and it will deliver the letter to the rebels in no time."

"Okay, I'll help you."

If things could work out, she might be able to take her child back to Shilitun and wait for that man's return.
