Chapter 356 Nostalgia for the World

The three uncles of the Yun family were greatly shocked when they received the secret letter.

In the letter, Prince Ning claimed that they had already occupied the Turkic royal court and were now surrounded by enemies, needing the help of the Yun family army. He said that once the matter was accomplished, the Zhou army could conquer the Turks and unify the world.

This kind of rhetoric is almost the same as giving Qiuqiu 250 taels of silver to resurrect the founding emperor and lead them to dominate the world.

Coupled with Chiu Chiu's "bloody handprint..."

This is nothing short of a blatant blackmail!

Hurry and save them!

Yun Jingsong contacted her spies in the Turkic Khaganate, and they replied—it's a critical moment of life and death!

Without saying a word, he led a group of men and secretly infiltrated the area.

Yun Wenyu led troops to guard the outside of the pass. After sending a message, he led troops to launch a surprise attack, while Yun Juange stayed at Cangcheng Pass to write a letter of confession to His Majesty.

The three worked closely together, which is why they were able to turn the tide at the crucial moment.

The Yun family army is rigorously trained and lives for war. Perhaps the Turkic army under Naga Canglan's rule could still fight them, but now the Turks are demoralized and utterly vulnerable.

………………

The rooster crows at dawn, and the first rays of sunlight illuminate the night.

Those cleaning up the battlefield endured the nauseating stench of blood as they traversed the land.

The Turkic Khan and a number of tribal leaders have been captured, while a small number of men have escaped into the depths of the desert in the chaos.

Chiu Chiu sat in the tent, and her uncle wouldn't let her go out.

She listened to the sounds of battle all night, and the peace-loving little koi trembled all night. When everyone had time to pay attention to her, they found that Qiuqiu's little face was flushed red with fever.

Yun Jingsong sighed, "I'm afraid she's been haunted by a nightmare. Let's bring down her fever first. The environment here isn't good. I'll take Qiuqiu back to Cangcheng Pass once she's feeling a bit better."

“Your Highness, my elder brother has already submitted the aforementioned letter of accusation. I humbly request that Your Highness speak kindly about the Yun family’s unauthorized military action.”

Prince Ning: "General Yun is loyal and righteous, and devoted to serving the country. How could Your Majesty blame him? Besides, Qiuqiu and I came here on orders. I'm afraid Your Majesty will praise the Yun family for their close cooperation in defeating the Turks!"

With Prince Ning's words of reassurance, Yun Jingsong left his second brother behind to finish things up, and the group returned to Cangcheng Pass.

Although Qiuqiu's fever has subsided, she looks listless and sits there sighing every day, looking old and gloomy.

Yun Jingsong firmly believed that Qiuqiu was frightened and wanted to find a god, while Jin Fengnian insisted that Qiuqiu was just bored and looking for something to do.

The border was not peaceful, and Qiuqiu would indeed sit still after eating her fill every day. Even Yun Jingsong, a rough man, could feel that Qiuqiu's clothes seemed a little tight.

He couldn't bear to see Qiuqiu so listless all day long. "Qiuqiu, if you really can't stand it, why don't you go run a couple of laps around the training ground?"

Jin Fengnian is right, Qiuqiu is just bored!

Chirp chirped even sadder, thinking, "I'm already this miserable, but it turns out it can get even worse!"

The clan leader is gone and will never return. It seems that the new Heavenly Dao is indeed not to be trifled with!

I don't know what's going on now. If you ask me, she should be here supervising the unreliable Heavenly Dao.

Seeing Qiuqiu's resistance, Yun Jingsong simply picked her up, who was still listlessly leaning on the ground, and said, "Let's go now!"

Of course, Yun Jingsong was very busy and didn't have time to look after her. He asked Xue Shan to come on patrol, so he asked Yun Xiaofeng to accompany him.

When Yun Xiaofeng saw the limp little baby that looked like a glutinous rice ball, his face immediately darkened.

This is truly a case of enemies meeting again.

"Finally, you've fallen into my hands."

Yun Xiaofeng pinched Qiuqiu's chubby little round face. Now the whole Cangcheng Pass knew that he, Yun Xiaofeng, had been tricked by a little brat!

"You've ruined my reputation."

Chiu Chiu didn't take it seriously, waved his hand away, and moved slightly to the side.

"Hey man, stop!"

Yun Xiaofeng was so angry she laughed. "You actually know about the difference between men and women? Why didn't you say anything when you gouged out my eyes?"

This was Chirp's plan, but it was just a distraction and didn't really work!

What do you want?

Yun Xiaofeng twirled her around, making her face the training ground. "See it? Go on."

The cities that had been captured with great difficulty naturally needed to be guarded, so many people were sent out, leaving the training grounds empty.

The training ground has all eighteen kinds of weapons, as well as wooden figures.

Chirp glanced around and then ran towards its target.

Yun Xiaofeng crossed his arms and watched Qiuqiu run quite fast, feeling rather satisfied. But the next moment, he was proven wrong.

Chiu Chiu pulled out a small stool from somewhere; it was about the size of two palms and not very tall. It was just enough for Chiu Chiu to sit on by herself.

She found a cool spot to sit down. "And then?"

Are you going to bring me some snacks?

I really don't know what kind of snacks people eat here.

Yun Xiaofeng: "..."

What on earth is she doing?!

"You're here to train, not to rest!"

Chiu Chiu, with an air of maturity, waved her hand dismissively: "I need to think."

In reality, Yun Xiaofeng was just a little kid, but as a member of the Yun family, he was relegated to eating sand here. His childhood was filled with endless battles and countless deaths.

He only looks a bit like a teenager when he's with Qiuqiu.

He leaned closer curiously: "What can you think about?"

Chiu Chiu said in a pretentious tone, "It's a matter of national importance."

Yun Xiaofeng: "?"

Is this something she should be considering?

"I think you're just bored. Come on, I'll take you for a stroll in the streets."

Chiu Chiu was forbidden from going out, and she hesitated a little: "Uncle won't allow it."

"Your uncle isn't here!"

Chiu Chiu thought about it and agreed, so she ran off with Yun Xiaofeng.

The two came out through the back door. Last time they came in a hurry, and Qiuqiu hadn't had a proper look at Cangcheng Pass.

Cangcheng Pass is a small town, less than half the size of the capital. There is only one main street, where only a few scattered people are selling vegetables.

The vegetables are withered and yellow, but they are the best that can be grown here.

As Yun Xiaofeng walked, he introduced the local customs and culture to Qiuqiu. "There are very few people in Cangcheng Pass. Most of them have already moved away. Those who remain are the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled. They can't go far, nor are they capable of going far."

As they walked along, the locals greeted Yun Xiaofeng warmly, and their kind smiles touched Qiuqiu.

After being listless for many days, Chiu Chiu finally perked up a bit.

"Baa baa!"

A half-grown lamb was tied in front of a house. It was snow-white and looked like a ball of cotton candy.

Chiu Chiu ran over and rubbed against the little lamb.

The world is truly wonderful!

Chiu Chiu has found another reason to stay in this world.

"Can I take Meimei home?"

Yun Xiaofeng resolutely refused: "No!"

Cattle and sheep are the lifeblood of these people; they can't just take them away casually.

"Just take a look. I'll catch you a wild goat later. It has horns and it moos."

Isn't that a bison?

"I can give it to you."

Chiu Chiu and Yun Xiaofeng looked toward the source of the sound and saw a little girl hiding in the corner, dressed in drab gray clothes.

Seeing Qiuqiu looking at her, she nervously twisted the hem of her clothes: "I know you, you are Qiuqiu."

"Little lamb, you can give it to Chuchu!"

The child's eyes sparkled, but Chiu Chiu shook her head: "Chiu Chiu doesn't want to, let the sheep be sold for money by my sister."

The little girl shook her head: "I won't sell it. I'll raise it to feed Qiuqiu."

Chirp chirp, this world is truly something to cherish!

[Never mind, I'll personally go and negotiate with the Heavenly Dao!]
