C34 Special issues
"Really?" Nona jumped up and pulled on Eighth Sister's hand. "Hurry, let's eat the fruits."
Eighth Sister did not seem to be as enthusiastic as Ninth Sister. She stood up lazily and followed behind Yang Xiao. Humans, when they are in despair, just give them hope and they can continue to work hard. What Yang Xiao used was precisely this method, which triggered the final potential of the two sisters.
The place in front of them was lush green, and was actually not some wild fruit, but a wild sweet potato. Eighth Sister let out a sigh: "Yang Xiao lied to us just now, you should believe this as well, and can't do anything about it …"
Yang Xiao saw that his eighth sister and ninth sister had a miserable expression, but he was actually very happy. "Hehe, at least the heavens have eyes, how can the three of us finish all these sweet potatoes?"
"What sweet potato?" Eighth sister, ninth sister was not the child of a poor family. Of course, she didn't understand what this sweet potato was. Yang Xiao did not answer, he took out his waist blade from inside the bag, dug around a few times, and revealed a round mud ball. He washed it in a nearby puddle of water, revealing the red head of the potato, Yang Xiao did not bother to clean it, and placed it back on the bag, splitting it open, he handed two pieces over to Nona: "Eat."
"Ah?" This thing can eat? It was born. " Nona was confused, but eighth sister took it and bit into it, chomping away at it and wolfing it down. Nona saw this and also started to eat it. It was not really delicious, at least this thing could be eaten! The two sisters, who were starving to this extent, felt that this slightly sweet sweet potato was even better than the delicacies of the sea and the mountains in their homes.
Yang Xiao continued to dig yams, and said loudly: "Eighth sister, Ninth sister, don't eat too much, rest up after eating, we need to go home."
How could the two sisters be willing to listen? He wolfed down his food. After a while, his stomach swelled up and he found a smooth rock. He snuggled up against it and lay still. Fortunately, the sunset was still warm, so it didn't matter if they lay down for a while.
Yang Xiao dug out a small bag of sweet potatoes and put it in his bag after washing up. He ate two of them and carried the bag on his back, seeing that the two sisters were still lying on the rocks, he anxiously urged them: "Quickly, get up, don't be so lazy, we need to hurry home before nightfall, otherwise, we will have to sleep here."
The two sisters did not dare be negligent, but they had not recovered their stamina. Not only were they walking slowly, they were also panting softly, with their heads leaning on one side of Yang Xiao, hugging his arms tightly, ignoring the friction between his chest and abdomen, as they hung half of their bodies on Yang Xiao's body!
For the first time, Yang Xiao felt that the bodies of the two sisters were actually this heavy! With every step he took, he had to put in two times more strength than usual. Raising his head to look at the sky, he saw that the sky had already begun to darken. Yang Xiao was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
Yang Xiao carried the two sisters and walked towards the foot of the mountain. After walking for only a kilometer, he was so tired that he could no longer breathe.
Suddenly, two riders came over, one of them shouted loudly: "Is this General Yang in front of us?"
"Yes sir!" Yang Xiao did not even have the strength to speak, and he could hear the weak reply.
The two riders rapidly approached, stopped their horses, and knelt down: "General Yang, we have finally found you two."
"Get up, we're exhausted." Yang Xiao said powerlessly.
"Oh." Both of them were from the Yang Mansion, so they immediately released a signal arrow and flew up into the sky. With a muffled explosion, dozens of men arrived and helped Yang Xiao and the rest to ride their horses back to the city.
After returning home, Yang Xiao and the two sisters went to sleep immediately. Yang Xiao couldn't even care about eating dinner, but the servant girl still urged him to eat a little. After the two sisters had dinner, their bodies gradually recovered. It seemed that the physiques of the two of them were quite good.
That night, Fourth Mother came back from the Millennium Lake's water stronghold to visit them. When she found out what had happened at her home, she was immediately enraged. Hearing that Fourth Mother had returned, Yang Xiao rushed over to see her. From far away, he could hear Fourth Mother berating the two sisters.
Yang Xiao walked into the room and looked at the two of them being trained, then winked at them. Nona quickly said to Fourth Mother, "We forced Yang Xiao to bring us there, it has nothing to do with Yang Xiao, Mother, please don't blame Yang Xiao …"
Fourth Mother's expression did not change at all, "You're done?" Fourth Mother looked at the two sisters gloomily. Eighth Sister and Ninth Sister felt their hearts skip a beat as they didn't know what Fourth Mother was going to say. They could only nod and stand to one side unnaturally.
"Yang Xiao, come over here!" Fourth Mother shouted.
"Fourth Mother, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have brought Eighth Sister and Ninth Sister with me." Yang Xiao whispered.
"Your arms are all healed? "Right?" When Fourth Mother saw Yang Xiao standing in front of her, she forcefully suppressed her anger and said, "I forgot the pain after my scar healed! You really can do it! "Next time, if you dare to pick honey again, I …" Fourth Mother originally wanted to say that I will beat you to death, little scoundrel, but she obviously knew that this was the deep affection Yang Xiao had for her, and couldn't help but stop. Tears rolled in her eyes, and she reached out to grab Yang Xiao.
Eighth Sister saw Fourth Mother sigh and immediately added: "Yang Xiao said that no matter how difficult it is, even if it is going to be difficult, I must still help Fourth Mother gather honey!"
"Yes, yes!" That's what Yang Xiao said. " Nona quickly agreed.
Fourth Mother couldn't hold back her tears any longer. Her eyes were blurry as she caressed Yang Xiao's arm, unable to say a word.
On the morning of the second day, Fourth Mother returned to the Millennium Lake's water stronghold. Before she left, she warned Yang Xiao and Eighth Sister Ninth Sister to not take up any more trouble, and after Fourth Mother left, Yang Xiao holed up in his room and read the Military Strategy for the entire morning. Before lunch, as usual, he came to the south city gate to inspect the military affairs, and saw two war horses flying in from the other side of the city gate. Atop the white horse in front was his sister-in-law, Murong Feixue. The lady on the red horse behind was the Mengluo that he had been yearning for day and night.
Two beautiful women came to the city gate and reined in their horses. Yang Xiao looked at the city gate and shouted: Quick, open the gate! Murong Feixue and Yang Mengluo rode their horses and slowly entered the city. When they saw Yang Xiao alighting from the city wall, the two jumped down from their horses at the same time and took the reins of the horses. Yang Xiao ran up to them and shouted happily, "General Murong, Mengluo, you two have returned. "I missed you guys so much …"
Murong Feixue and Yang Mengluo both grabbed onto one of Yang Xiao's hands, "Yang Xiao, we really missed you too, are you and Fourth Mother alright?"
Yang Xiao said: "When Fourth Mother heard that Lin Kaihua was gathering troops and horses in Dongting Lake, she led the troops and went to the camp there. I was ordered to guard Jingzhou."
Yang Mengluo laughed leisurely: "Yang Xiao, as a man, and as the commander of the forward camp of the Yang General, why are you hiding behind the formation? Instead, you want Fourth Mother to fight in the front line? "
Yang Xiao sighed: "Speaking of which, I am ashamed. A few days ago, when I just came back, I went to the west side of the city to gather some honey, but I accidentally fell down the mountain and broke all my arms and legs. If it wasn't for Fourth Mother's hand returning to spring, I would still be lying on the bed."
Murong Feixue smiled as he looked at Yang Xiao, "Is there such a thing? Yang Xiao, will you really try to please Fourth Mother, climbing the mountain and picking nectar for her the moment you return? "
Yang Xiao said embarrassedly, "Fourth Mother is older than you two, General Murong and Mengluo are at their prime, and you two are ranked in the latest top ten beauties, do you need me to help you? "Heh heh."
Murong Feixue laughed out loud. "That's true, Yang Xiao, your flattering skill is getting more and more powerful, and now you're trying to please us again."
Yang Xiao held her eldest sister-in-law and Mengluo's pure white jade hands as the three of them returned to the Yang Residence in the Sky Waves Continent. Hearing that their sister-in-law and Mengluo had returned, Seventh Sister Yang, Ninth Sister Yang, also ran over to meet them. Yang Xiao asked: "General Murong, why did only the two of you come back?"
Murong Feixue said: "Father is worried that Southern Tang Li Yu will take this opportunity to sneak an attack on Jingzhou. After we take down Gui Yang, he will let us go first and lead the army back to Jingzhou. Didn't we come back on the same day? "
Yang Xiao said: "Father's foresight is indeed as good as that of a god. Lin Kaihua really had the intention to sneak attack Jingzhou, but I think that even if he wanted to sneak attack Jingzhou, he would need Li Jing's permission. Li Jing is a person who is indecisive, without any ambitions, and does not even want to fight with Great Song, he only wants to protect his own land.
Murong Feixue said, "Sixth Brother is not without reason, but it's still better that we be a little more cautious. On the road, Mengluo and I have already discussed and agreed that we would rush to the Millennium Lake in the afternoon. After that, we would disguise ourselves and head to the Southern Tang's waterproof stronghold, Jiang Ling, to check on the movements of the Southern Tang's army. If we know ourselves and know our enemies, we will be in an invincible position. "
Yang Xiao nodded and said: "Sister-in-law is truly worthy of being the commander of our Yang Family's Shen Ji Camp. If Lin Kaihua wanted to attack Jingzhou, he would definitely have troops in Jia Province to deploy and make arrangements. When he came there and saw the Tang Army's deployment, he could guess whether Lin Kaihua had received Li Jing's secret order to enter the army. I'll go with you. "
Yang Bajie and Yang Jiu also shouted that they wanted to go.
Yang Mengluo glared at them, "You two mischievous girls, wait over there."
They knew that Mengluo's martial arts were the highest in the entire family among all of their siblings with the surname Yang, so they muttered: "Mengluo is just underestimating people, we are already grown up, why can't we go to the front lines?"
Yang Mengluo chuckled, looked at the two of them and said: "The two before the battle are child's play? It's not that I don't want you to go, but I want you two to go, lest Si Niang gets angry. "
Yang Xiao said: "Mengluo, how about this, these two girls have never gone out on a mission with us before, this time let them be satisfied with the mission, we can take them to Millennium Lake, it won't be a problem."
Nona immediately jumped up in joy. "Let's go change."
Seeing the two girls run away happily, Yang Xiao then said, "Millennium Lake isn't in any danger of war, and when we get there, we'll give them to Fourth Mother. Fourth Mother will definitely bring the two of them back. Do me a favor. "
Murong Feixue laughed: "Then it's done."
Yang Mengluo nodded his head in agreement, then laughed bitterly: "These two little girls, I thought that they would really go up to kill the enemy, but later on, they will definitely bring all their beloved weapons and bows and arrows, do you guys believe that?"
The three of them burst out laughing.
After lunch, the five of them went out of the south gate on the warship to the Millennium Lake. After arriving at the Millennium Lake to meet Fourth Mother, Fourth Mother was both surprised and happy. She first hugged Murong Feixue and Yang Mengluo tightly, and then taught Eighth Sister and Ninth Sister a lesson with a fierce expression.
Then, Fourth Mother told the two of them the information that she had received for the past few days. After Murong Feixue heard this, he said, "Lin Kaihua, on the other hand, knows how to use troops. We are still unsure if Southern Tang is going to send out any Elite Armaments to attack Jingzhou.
Fourth Mother thought for a moment and said, "That's good as well. It would be extremely advantageous for our army to have a bit of intelligence about the enemy. Which one of you will go?"
The five of them went to vote at the same time. Fourth Mother fiercely glared at Eighth Sister and Ninth Sister, "You two little girls, stop messing around."
