Most importantly, the other party had appeared at Luoping Pass. This was definitely not a small matter.

Ye Muyu quickly drew the portrait.

“Young General, don’t tell others that I drew this portrait.” Ye Muyu had no choice but to hide her strength. She really did not want to cause trouble.

When Shen Qin saw the lifelike portrait, he widened his eyes and looked at Ye Muyu in shock. “Mrs. Chu… I’ve never seen such a drawing before. How can it be so realistic?”

“This is just a casual drawing. It’s just to make it look realistic. It has no artistic conception. It’s not worth mentioning.” Ye Muyu’s painting indeed lacked artistic conception.

Shen Qin had no choice but to admit this, “However, your drawing method is very useful to the government and the military.”

“Thank you for your praise, Youn General. It seems that my painting skills are somewhat useful,” Ye Muyu said happily.

Seeing her like this, Shen Qin could not help but laugh. “I used to think that your culinary skills were good. Now, it seems that you have other hidden talents too.”

“Young General, don’t flatter me. There’s a saying that experts are among the people. A truly capable craftsman might not necessarily be in the government. Don’t you think so?” Ye Muyu tried her best to cover herself up.

Shen Qin could not help but nod his head when he heard this. He felt that Ye Muyu was not wrong.

Ye Muyu did not delay any longer and continued to talk about the potatoes. “If you trust me, arrange for some soldiers to find some potatoes when you have time. These two months are the ripe season for potatoes. It’s a good time to eat them or to keep seeds.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Chu.”

Ye Muyu waved her hand and smiled. “You’re welcome. You’re protecting the country. As commoners, we have a good life. Otherwise, war will destroy the best food and we won’t have a good life.”

“This is the first time I’ve heard someone say this.” Shen Qin was a little shocked. “Actually, there were people who said it before, but it felt like it was just for show.”

After all, there were officials in the imperial court who would even deduct military rations for greed. Ye Muyu’s words made him feel that all the grievances he had suffered over the years were worth it. At least, the people were on their side.

However, as a general, the most taboo thing was to win the hearts of the people.

Ye Muyu did not know why Shen Qin’s mood had dropped. “Young General, that… I’ll go back first.”

“I’m going to see my big brother.”

“Alright, go ahead. Don’t go out for the time being. I’ll send someone to follow you. By the way, what do the potato vines look like? Think about it carefully and don’t remember it wrongly. We’re not in a hurry.” Shen Qin raised his voice in the end and Ye Muyu instantly understood what he meant.

He had seen her painting before and yet he said that. It was obvious that he had said those words for others to hear. Moreover, he also had the ability to help her hide her ability to paint.

Ye Muyu looked at him gratefully, got up, and left the tent without further delay, leaving only a few potatoes behind.

When she saw Zhang Miao waiting outside the tent, Ye Muyu smiled sincerely as usual. “Deputy General Zhang, thank you very much. I’ll give you a portion of the potatoes after I’m done. It’s just that there aren’t many. Please don’t mind.”

Zhang Miao glanced at her and did not care about the so-called potatoes. He just grunted.

Luo San followed behind Ye Muyu.

They went all the way back to Ye Hao’s tent.

Ye Muyu greeted her family when she walked in.

Old Madam Ye quickly came up to her. “Daughter, you’re finally back. I was so worried about you.”
