Spiritual Energy Rejuvenation: I Began Cultivating By Farming

Chapter 2231 - 1255:

Even if they are loyal to the emperor, they are living beings. Even if they defeat the enemy, it is possible that the next emperor desires the leaders among these soldiers to die.

They must realize that their power will instill fear in others.

If their time of death is now.

To avoid death, and to prevent soldiers from dying due to some people’s schemes and deception.

They must prevent their families from being destroyed, and they must stand up, not foolishly becoming cannon fodder for others.

In addition to defeating invaders, they must also guard against hidden threats.

As long as they have the skills themselves, they will deter the enemy from moving.

Thus these people, unwilling to be cannon fodder, must protect their ranks strongly, not just foolishly serve as vassals.

Having their fate controlled by others.

In the army, the general and his family, excluding the women, all dreamt of certain things at night.

There was also a young lady who, because the family was of Military Generals, secretly learned some skills and had a nightmare tonight.

In a few days, they would die miserably, and only upon dying miserably would they know that it was the treacherous ministers at work.

The prince’s methods were involved as well.

Most infuriating was them being blamed for others’ deeds, while history wrongly portrayed them as betraying the country.

Jiang Tang made these people have a nightmare.

Additionally, he revealed the location of certain resources as well as formulas for making explosives, gunpowder, and bombs through dreams in the old general’s mind.

That night, after having the nightmare.

Only the old general was startled awake, without forgetting that dream and the location of stored resources.

Did not forget the formula.

Though she didn’t know if the formula was real, she had to stealthily check on the materials supposedly used for making explosives.

Besides the materials for making explosives, plenty of grain was stored.

Originally Jiang Tang placed things in a so-called military warehouse.

He also thought, not everyone on the battlefield is loyal.

The Great General’s subordinates might be on the enemy’s side; otherwise, why would it be so easy to exterminate?

Why would military intelligence be leaked so easily?

Certainly, one of the General’s subordinates was colluding with the enemy, entirely framing the General.

Many resources in the warehouse, dangerous items stored in such places would not do.

After all, once enemy troops steal them, he would have to step in to help.

Jiang Tang didn’t want to be endlessly involved.

Here to watch the show, he would occasionally lend help, but not always.

He didn’t want to be that idle.

Rather than constant concern, wouldn’t it be better to always care for his wife?

Even with ten beautiful wives, caring for the wife alone is not enough time.

Lives to him are merely watching a show.

Despite earning merit, he didn’t want to invest too much effort.

So Jiang Tang exchanged the old general’s Jade Pendant with a newly crafted Spatial Jade Pendant similar to his own.

The general’s Jade Pendant was of good quality, yet mere jade, though precious, representing the family’s symbol.

Possibly handed down in their family.

A sign passed from generation to generation, the symbol of the General’s Family.

Obtaining this Jade Pendant equals being a leader in their family.

Considered akin to a Clan Leader.

Jiang Tang swapped the Jade Pendant and informed the General through dreams to make a Blood Contract and jade contract.

Inside the Jade Pendant were grains, meat, herbs, and medicine to treat injuries.

There were also raw materials for making explosives.

The general awoke, alone in a tent.

During battles, constantly near the army, he couldn’t live in residences.

The army tent functioned as the general’s daily office.

During warfare, the general might not sleep nightly.

Sleeping was merely closing eyes for a brief rest at the desk.

If actual fighting occurred, they might not sleep for several days and nights.

Moreover, always guarding against enemy attacks while they were asleep.

During the day was somewhat safer as visibility was better, but come night, they dare not sleep.

Others might take turns patrolling to sleep a little, but the general could not be so relaxed.

The general merely closed his eyes at his desk and was thrust into a nightmare, upon awakening, testing whether the dream was true.

So, he sliced his finger with a knife, bringing out the Jade Pendant hanging at his waist. Previously faintly visible in the firelight, now shining and distinct from the original jade.

Once he dripped his blood into the Jade Pendant, discovered, shining brighter, engulfing him completely inside.

While absorbed by the Jade Pendant within, he almost shouted.

As he tumbled into a warehouse, found it huge, windows placed in segments, various goods stored in different sections.

Dangerous items separated from grains.

Here one finds not only grains, resources, medicines, and supposed explosive-making materials, but also gold and silver treasure.

The general’s face reddened with excitement; with these grains, even if explosives fail, money can purchase abundant supplies, sustaining a while if no resources are sent, if no military salary is issued.

Still, these grains would feed the army for months.

The general roamed the warehouse for a long time, discovering numerous large depots, possibly half an hour of exploration.

Suddenly anxious, concerned about being inside too long, worried someone might enter and realize his absence from the tent?

The general wished the secret not be discovered quickly.

Not yet decided on subsequent actions, but still left the tent, writing down certain formulas, leaving them in the warehouse, hidden from others outside.

At dawn, he gathered troops, alongside the family’s closest, most trusted folk to produce the formulas.

Making explosives, the formula also requires testing.

As a general, personally monitored explosives tests.

Stationed guards to encircle an area inside the army, crafting it impenetrable, with a tent protected intensely, sparking suspicion on important resources inside may attract theft.

The old general pondered experimenting within the space, successfully using the explosive materials.

Old and needing to mentor family youths.

Naturally fostering trusted, capable personnel.

At this point, with provisions in hand, the heart not panicked, no matter how long the court delays supply, they would hold fast.

Preventing the enemy from capturing the city, soldiers won’t starve, nor allow spies to send out messages.

The day passed with the general checking cautiously, truly trusting confidants, close family, amongst the army.

In attempts to contain and monitor spies discovered amongst that foreign soldiers, generals bearing other surnames.

Distinct discussions seen as suspicious, clearly aware explosives dread fire.

Damp environments were unsuitable.

Began studying with limited samples, if successful then scaled production.

Others speculating perhaps storing grains here, since favorable circumstances drop food supplies nearby.

Since celestial carb load arrival, thrilled soldiers finding abundant food, leaving some disgruntled, troubled.

Here ongoing events prevent communication out, and aware of surveillance.

Unable to dispatch messages, stuck with anxiety.

This general bore the surname Huang, nurturing his well-trained subordinates.

Of course, one subordinate already pledged allegiance to a particular minister.

Entirely monitoring Grand General Marshal’s movements.

And their family, the cruel plot this time planned starvation, profiting personally from this tragedy.

Extracting personal gain.
