Zhao Chenhai looked at his younger brother, who was jumping around, speechless. He thought his brain must have been lost somewhere when their mother gave birth to him. Did he really need to say something like this so openly? Especially in front of all the elders?
Hmm! Looks like he's itching for a beating again!
"Slap! Shut up! Still trying to run away from home? Zhao Chenfeng, you're asking for it!"
Their father, Zhao Yinglang, slapped him again and then chased after him, beating him mercilessly.
"Dad! Stop hitting me! I was wrong, I was wrong!!"
Zhao Chenfeng was beaten and ran around wildly, begging for mercy.
Their antics eased Zhao Chenhai's tension, and he smiled.
Lin Yuxin watched them playfully bickering for a while before turning to her second uncle and explaining her plan. After finishing, ignoring the strange looks on the faces of the group of grown men, she continued with her instructions:
"Second Uncle, you are not going to fight a war, but to stir up trouble. Remember to be careful. I will give you a helper when you set off."
"What kind of helper?"
Zhao Yingfeng snapped out of his daze and asked in confusion, "Could there be another expert?"
You'll find out when the time comes!
Lin Yuxin gave a mysterious smile, keeping everyone in suspense.
After Lin Yuxin finished explaining, she left, leaving behind a group of Zhao family men who, watching Lin Yuxin's retreating figure, suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.
"Ahem! Well, Xin Xin was forced to do this; it's Zhao and Qi's fault!"
Zhao Shijie spoke first, easing the awkward atmosphere.
"Yes! Father is right. Xin Xin's method is really good. I think it's a good idea!"
Zhao Yingfeng nodded awkwardly. Only he knew how much mental preparation he had to do before he could bring himself to do it!
"Second brother, you've worked hard. I'll throw a welcome-back party for you when you get back!"
Zhao Yinglang looked at his second brother with pity. This mission was really embarrassing! Luckily, it wasn't him who went!
"Hehe! I'm also throwing a welcome-back party for my second brother!!"
Zhao Yinglan and Zhao Yingshu also suppressed their laughter as they spoke.
Everyone has consciously or unconsciously forgotten that Zhao Chenhai can talk to animals.
Only their family knows about this right now, so it's best not to tell anyone for the time being.
"Alright, you can all go back now! Especially the second son and Chen Hai, the Emperor's decree says we'll depart in three days, so you two should go back and prepare!"
After the family finished discussing business, Zhao Shijie started to send them away.
"yes!"
The men of the Zhao family bowed to Zhao Shijie in unison and withdrew.
Zhao Shijie watched their departing figures and sighed.
"Alas! I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse!"
...
Three days later at the city gate, Lin Yuxin and the Zhao family saw Zhao Yingfeng, Zhao Chenhai, and a hundred elite soldiers off from the capital.
Lin Yuxin whispered a few words in Zhao Chenhai's ear:
"Have you remembered what your sister taught you these past two days?"
"I've got it!"
Zhao Chenhai's eyes lit up as he looked at his sister and nodded vigorously.
For the past three days, his sister has come to see him every day and taught him a lot of new knowledge, such as wilderness survival, what herbs are, and how to communicate effectively with animals.
Although he didn't understand the purpose of what his sister was teaching him, these were things he had never encountered before, and he found them very novel.
Finally, his sister gave him a task, which he would definitely complete diligently!
"Okay! Remember, if there's danger, take care of yourself first! Keep the medicine your sister gave you safe; it could save your life!"
Lin Yuxin, still worried, gave her further instructions.
"Sister, don't worry! I'll be back in triumph!"
Zhao Chenhai looked at Lin Yuxin with a serious expression, trying to comfort her.
At that moment, he seemed to have a sense of mission.
Lin Yuxin looked at the child's tender face, gently patted his head, and nodded.
"Xin Xin! You said you have help? Where are they? We need to leave!"
Seeing that the time was approaching and he still hadn't seen the helper Xin Xin had mentioned, Zhao Yingfeng asked.
"Second Uncle, it's already waiting for you on the back mountain of Bailing Temple!"
Lin Yuxin looked at Zhao Yingfeng and said with a smile.
"??All right!"
Is it that mysterious?
Zhao Yingfeng didn't ask any more questions. When the time came, Zhao Yingfeng led Zhao Chenhai and a hundred elite soldiers and set off.
"Xin Xin! Will they encounter any trouble on their journey?"
Second Aunt Chen Lanzhi watched their departing figures with worry and asked Lin Yuxin anxiously.
"Exactly! Xin Xin, Chen Hai is still so young, wouldn't he just be causing trouble if he went?"
Third Aunt Qian Li looked at her son's back and felt uneasy. Her son had never left her since birth.
"Alright! The children of our Zhao family are not cowards. Since the Emperor has issued the decree, this is their mission. Don't put too much pressure on Xin Xin!"
Zhao Shijie couldn't stand seeing his family like this; the Zhao family had never been useless cowards hiding in the shadows.
"Father, we didn't mean anything by it, we were just a little worried. Xin Xin, don't overthink it!"
Chen Lanzhi realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly tried to explain.
"That's right, Xin Xin, don't overthink it. Your aunt didn't mean anything by it!"
Qian Li glanced at Lin Yuxin with shame and explained.
"Grandfather, don't be so fierce! Second Aunt and Third Aunt are just concerned about Second Uncle and Chenhai! They're just worried, I won't take it to heart."
Seeing her grandfather's dark face, Lin Yuxin quickly tried to comfort him, otherwise it would be bad if the Zhao family were distracted because of her.
Then Lin Yuxin looked at her two aunts, stepped forward, took their hands, and comforted them:
