Grandpa Yun was chopping medicinal herbs in the courtyard when Yun Yuxuan returned with his younger brothers. Grandpa Yun was a little surprised to see them all back. "Why are you all back?"

Yun Yuxuan, speaking on behalf of everyone, said, "General Niu has given us three days off."

Grandpa Yun was even more surprised. "Why did General Niu give you leave? And for three whole days at that?"

"Xiao Liu is going to take over Ningyuan City."

"What?!" Old Master Yun jumped to his feet. "Sixth Young Master is going to take over Ningyuan City?!"

"Hmm." Yun Yuxuan recounted what had just happened. "General Ning gave us and those who were selected three days off. After three days, we will go with Xiao Liu to take over Ningyuan City."

"Isn't this ridiculous? No, I have to go find General Niu."

Yun Yuqi looked at Grandpa Yun and said, "Grandpa, instead of going to find General Niu, you should try to persuade Xiao Liu. General Niu doesn't want Xiao Liu to go either, but Xiao Liu insists on going."

He couldn't possibly persuade Xiao Liu. No, he had to go find Xiao Liu's mother. Only Xiao Liu's mother could probably talk him out.

Feng Chan was teaching Thirteen how to make pills with Old Master Lin when Old Master Yun arrived. "Sixth Sister's mother, come out for a moment, I need to talk to you about something."

"Okay." After Feng Chan brought Thirteen out, Old Master Yun told her about Si Si's plan to take over Ningyuan City. "You should persuade Xiao Liu. Taking over a city is not a simple matter. If it were, General Niu would have taken it long ago."

Feng Chan agreed immediately. "Okay, I'll talk to her when she gets back, and if she doesn't listen to me, I'll beat her up."

"...No need to beat her up. Just talk to her nicely."

"Alright then. This kid is getting bolder and bolder."

Grandpa Yun taught Feng Chan how to persuade Si Si to leave.

On the other side, Zhao Ruliang also told Madam Niu about Sisi's plan to take over Ningyuan City.

Mrs. Niu was stunned after hearing this. "This...this is too...too childish!"

Who can disagree? "Madam, please persuade the General." We can get used to other things, but we can't let this happen.

"Alright. I'll try to talk to him when the general returns."

At noon, after General Niu returned, Madam Niu first talked to him about their sons' studies, and then turned the conversation to Sisi. "I heard that Sisi is going to lead five hundred men to retake Ningyuan City?"

"Um."

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

"I know it's not appropriate, but Sisi insists on going."

"So you're just going to let her be? Aren't you afraid she'll never come back?"

"Don't worry. Old Hei is here."

"...What about the others? You are the general, you can't just care about her and ignore the others."

"The others will definitely run away if they see things are going wrong, so don't worry."

"...You'll lose the morale of your troops if you do this."

"No. People die in war. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Is the food ready? I'm hungry."

On the other side, the soldiers who were chosen took out their saved silver. Some entrusted it to friends to pass on to their parents; some went to a restaurant and ordered a table of fine dishes; some went to a brothel and ordered two courtesans.

In short, the soldiers who were selected treated these three days as if they were their last three days.

For a moment, the streets became more lively.

Sisi and Lao Hei didn't return until it was almost dark the next day.

As soon as Feng Chan learned that Sisi had returned, she called Sisi into the house. "Your great-grandfather asked me to persuade you. He's been so worried about you that he can't eat since he found out you're going to take five hundred men to take over Ningyuan City. Your great-grandmother said your great-grandfather barely slept last night."

Sisi hugged Thirteen tightly. "Did you miss your sister?"

Thirteen hugged Sisi's neck and kissed her on the cheek. "I missed you."

Feng Chan looked at Si Si and asked, "Are you confident?"

Sisi took a handful of wild berries out of her pocket and gave them to Thirteen. "Half and half. They've already been washed, so you can eat them directly."

Thirteen took one and fed it to Feng Chan, and after feeding Feng Chan, he fed one to Si Si.

Sisi gently patted Thirteen's head.

Thirteen smiled at Sisi while eating wild fruit.

After Feng Chan finished eating the wild fruit that Shisan fed her, she looked at Sisi and said, "Take Ma Zi with you too."

"good."

After chatting for a while, Fengchan took Thirteen to the dining room for dinner.

Seeing that it was just the two of them, Old Master Yun asked, "Where's Xiao Liu?"

Feng Chan said angrily, "I'll make her reflect on her actions in the room."

It seems that Xiao Liu is still determined to take over Ningyuan City.

After dinner, Old Master Yun called Yun Yuxuan and the others into his room. "If you see that things aren't going well, quickly take Xiao Liu and the others and leave. If Xiao Liu doesn't want to leave, just say... just say that if she doesn't listen to you, I'll kill myself."

Yun Yuxuan and the others: "..." Great-grandfather, you are a man.

Meanwhile, General Ying, who was guarding Ningyuan City, was eating when a man approached. "General, Ge Yong has arrived."

Upon hearing this, General Eagle immediately put down his knife. "Let him in."

"yes."

A moment later, Ge Yong came in.

Ge Yong was a spy planted by General Eagle within General Niu's ranks. General Eagle doesn't dare attack General Niu yet, but that doesn't mean he won't in the future.

Ge Yong first bowed to General Ying, and then told General Ying the information he had found out.

General Eagle was relieved after hearing this. "I knew it! Why would that guy surnamed Niu let that little girl come to take over the city? It's good enough that he can hold onto his own territory. Come, let's drink."

"Thank you for the reward, General. General, the soldiers who were selected have a lot of complaints about the man surnamed Niu and that little girl."

General Eagle gave Ge Yong a leg of lamb. "Of course, who wants to die for nothing?"
