Yan Cheng and Yan Ling were not familiar with each other and had no idea what kind of person he was.
However, Yan Miao is Yan Ling's half-brother. Since he said so, this must be the case.
Judging from what Yan Miao said, it seemed that he had concealed his intention to join the army very well.
Even his own brother had not revealed it. Perhaps only the four people in this house knew about it.
It seems that Yan Miao must have other purposes in telling him this.
Sure enough, Yan Miao took out a small box, held it in both hands, and looked at it again and again with reluctance in his eyes.
Finally, she made up her mind, bit her lip and pushed him in front of Yan Cheng.
"Brother Cheng, these are the silver I have painstakingly saved over the years. After I leave, my eldest brother probably won't stay at home for long. Since you are going to the capital, I sincerely hope you can take my eldest brother with you."
Yan Cheng frowned as he looked at the small box, opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Yan Miao spoke again.
"Brother Cheng, don't rush to refuse. I understand that you will definitely be reluctant to accept these things just to let my elder brother go to the capital with you. I have another request.
I'm heading to the northwest this time, and I don't know when I'll be back. The people from my second grandfather's lineage in the capital are unreliable, and I don't trust anyone else either. I just hope Brother Cheng can take care of my eldest brother a little."
Yan Cheng pushed the small box back and said, "Brother Miao, why do you have to be like this? I'm just a small scholar. If you want to take care of me, it should be Brother Ling who should take care of me."
"Brother Cheng is so modest. I know in my heart that you are by no means an ordinary person, and there is no need for you to take care of my elder brother too much. You just need to give him a hand when he is in trouble.
My eldest brother is a stubborn person, always arguing over inexplicable things. The officialdom is like a battlefield, and I'm really worried that he might accidentally lose his life."
Yan Miao pleaded earnestly again and again, and Yan Cheng couldn't help but be moved by her complete trust.
Although Yan Cheng didn't think he could do anything, it was difficult for him to say no under the circumstances.
So he nodded, accepted the small box, and decided to have someone give Yan Miao some high-quality medicine and small silver bills after he set off.
After all, the battlefield is extremely dangerous, and the best medicines are the key to saving lives.
He once saved a woman who came from a medical family and called herself Liu Ma.
Liu Ma's husband was a violent man. Yan Cheng happened to come across a scene of domestic violence. After consulting Liu Ma, she helped her to divorce her husband.
After experiencing such a change, Madam Liu no longer wanted to marry and expressed her desire to stay and serve Yan Cheng.
Yan Cheng knew that Nanny Liu was proficient in medicine and her skills were quite good. He thought that people would inevitably get sick, so it was always good to have a female doctor around.
At the time of the divorce, Madam Liu was actually pregnant, but the pregnancy was not detected because it was too early. Nine months later, she gave birth to a daughter.
Afterwards, Nanny Liu asked Yan Cheng to name her daughter. Yan Cheng thought carefully for a long time and said the name "Liu Ming".
There is always light at the end of the tunnel, just like Liu Ma and her daughter walked out of the haze and stepped onto a brighter path in life.
Madam Liu comes from a medical family. She doesn't like activities like playing the piano and picnicking. She prefers to study medical books, research prescriptions, and make various medicines that are easy to carry.
Half a year after giving birth to her daughter, Madam Liu took in a young apprentice. The apprentice was not very old and spent the whole day reciting medical books and busy making various medicines.
Thanks to the unremitting efforts of Madam Liu and her young apprentice, more and more medicine bottles and bags were piled up in the pharmacy, and Yan Cheng would regularly send people to the pharmacy to get medicine.
Most of those medicines were taken away by the secret guards, although Yan Cheng rarely sent them on dangerous missions.
However, their daily training volume is heavy, injuries are commonplace, and the consumption of trauma medicines is naturally high.
There are a lot of various external injury medicines made by Madam Liu and her young apprentice, and the secret guards can't use them all. Now it's just right to give some to Yan Miao.
As for the small-denomination banknotes, they were for Yan Miao's daily use. The southwest was remote and located on a battlefield. Apart from the military camps, few people went there, making it difficult to spend large-denomination banknotes.
＊
Even if Yan Miao had his own ideas, he was just a sixteen-year-old boy, not yet an adult, and had never experienced anything major.
In the past ten years, Yan Miao, who had never left Wuding Prefecture, had nothing more than being bullied openly and secretly by her stepmother at home, while being ignored by her stepfather.
Now that he suddenly had to go to a strange and dangerous place, it would be a lie for Yan Miao to say that he was not nervous or worried.
But for his own future, and to avoid having to beg for money every day, he had to go to the southwest.
Yan Cheng was of the same age as him and was the one who knew about his plan. Facing Yan Cheng, Yan Miao had a thousand words to say, both good and bad.
Yan Miao first talked about his aspirations for the future, such as how many merits he would make and what kind of official position he would be awarded, and perhaps his future official position would be higher than that of his brother.
He also shared various life-saving tips that he had come up with.
For example, in a critical moment, you can poke the enemy's eyes or kick the enemy's lower body. The more vulgar the moves, the more effective they are. After all, staying alive is much more important than face.
Later, as they talked, they somehow started talking about the troubles in their family, and his handsome little servant tried to stop them but failed.
