"The teacher said that my mother is as capable as any man, which means that my mother is very capable!"
"Mom is asking me, not you!" Second girl spoke first, and Third girl's face fell, feeling very disappointed.
"Mom was asking about your teacher. 'You' refers to the two of us. I can tell Mom." Erniu said confidently, "Mom, I'm not wrong, am I?"
Little thing, you have a strong ability to understand words literally. Jian Ning pinched Erniu's nose, "Yes, that's right, our Jiajia is getting smarter and smarter. This is the benefit of studying. Only by studying more can people become smarter. Our Yaoyao is also very smart, but she was just a step behind and let her sister get there first. It's not that she didn't know that 'you' refers to two people, right?"
Sanniu nodded, of course she knew.
Shaking Jane Ning's hand, she said, "But, mother, you didn't pinch my nose."
"Okay, then mommy will pinch it too." Jian Ning smiled and clamped her little nose tightly, and she stretched her neck and mooed non-stop, which made Erniu jealous. She jumped up and down and shouted happily: "I want it too, mommy, I want it too!"
Having two babies at home is the joy of raising children. Jane Ning suddenly became childish. The three of them, mother and daughter, pinched each other's noses and imitated the mooing of cows, having a lot of fun playing in the yard.
At this moment, outside a tent outside Haoyi City, Xu Dali paced anxiously. Inside, Yang Jinyu and Qiao Feng were examining his master's injuries. Elsewhere, in the central military tent, a group of counselors and generals were arguing fiercely over a map hanging in the center of the tent.
Because, just a quarter of an hour ago, Xu Dali's master Lei Jiang came over the mountains and rivers with scars all over his body. He brought an astonishing news. The reason why Yue Kingdom hung up the banner of no war and agreed to fight again in the spring of next year was actually because of the lack of troops in Fengyi County. After annexing and conquering other surrounding tribes, Pei Xiyuan's elite troops did not return to the court as scheduled. The 100,000-strong army was trapped in a valley called Xianren Bay within the territory of Yue Kingdom.
According to Lei Jiang, after his victory at the Great Banquet, he sought a quiet and secluded place to live, never to concern himself with worldly affairs. Half a month ago, he arrived at Xianren Bay, intending to settle down there, but Pei Xiyuan's elite troops, returning to the capital, happened to be passing through Xianren Bay and were setting up camp on the other side of the valley.
Lei Jiang suddenly realized that the so-called war next year was just a delaying tactic of the Moon Kingdom. He originally didn't plan to care about worldly affairs anymore. After thinking it over, he finally decided to set a few fires at night. If he couldn't kill tens of thousands of people, he would at least burn a thousand or eight hundred of them. It would be his last effort for the Central Plains that had nourished him before he retired from the world, and it would be a consolation for the rest of his life.
Unexpectedly, at dusk, while he was still hiding in this side of the valley, waiting for darkness before taking action, he heard a clear female voice from the other side of the valley: "Who is making such a noise here, disturbing my sweet dreams?"
His voice is majestic without being angry!
The barbarian tribes always like to drink wine and play finger-guessing games at night, and there are also military prostitutes singing and dancing to entertain them. Lei Jiang felt regretful that he had finally found a quiet place, but he didn't expect that there was another master practicing in the valley.
After the expert finished speaking, he heard some soldiers shouting angry curses, followed by a series of howlings, and then silence.
He was extremely puzzled and came over quietly to take a look. One hundred thousand men had disappeared without a trace. This was too weird. He was puzzled and searched carefully along the valley entrance. He walked around in circles and could not get into the valley.
Lei Jiang suddenly understood: the valley was occupied by a master from the Immortal Cultivation Clan, who had set up the Qimen Dunjia technique. However, he was even more puzzled. Most of the Immortal Cultivation Clan were from the Central Plains. Ever since Nan Xiang was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, the Central Plains Immortal Cultivation Clan had been in turmoil. The various sects became suspicious of each other and slaughtered each other relentlessly. In the end, even the renowned Feng Qingzi disappeared, and later, even the lesser-known Ma Lao was eliminated.
He couldn't think of any other sect of the Central Plains cultivators who still had a master alive. Unable to figure it out, he could only sincerely request an audience. He then cupped his fists and said solemnly to the valley, "My name is Lei Jiang. I don't mean to offend you. I wonder which cultivator is cultivating here? Would you be so kind as to meet me?"
Lei Jiang asked three times, but there was no response from the valley. He became annoyed and thought that he, Lei Jiang, was not an ordinary unknown person. He immediately took out the flint and steel and wanted to burn the Fairy Bay to force the other party to show up.
Not wanting to bring disaster upon himself, and not knowing what magic the other party used, he rolled on the ground repeatedly but was unable to put out the fire on his body.
"If you don't want to die, get out!"
When he thought he would die in Xianren Bay, the clear female voice sounded again, and the flames on his body were extinguished instantly.
Lei Jiang was horrified. He was almost burned to death, but he didn't even see the shadow of the other party. However, his every move seemed to be exposed under the other party's eyes. Thinking of the 100,000 soldiers who disappeared out of thin air, this was definitely not an ordinary cultivator.
Because he was not sure whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, he traveled day and night and endured the burning pain all over his body to come and report the news.
Inside the central military camp, the generals and counselors held two opposing views, each half holding their own. One side believed that no matter how powerful one person was, it was impossible for him to wipe out a hundred thousand soldiers with a single blow. Regardless of whether they were enemies or friends, they should issue a declaration of war again, knock down the banners on the enemy's city gates, and force them to fight until they submitted a surrender.
One side believed that the rules of war should be followed. Moreover, the enemy's elite troops were not there and had hung up a banner of no fighting, agreeing to fight again in the spring of next year. Forcing the other side to win at this time would be unfair and undermine the demeanor of a great power. If this were to be spread, it would be ridiculed by the world!
Everyone was arguing non-stop, except for Ding Youtian and Qin Yifan, who sat alone to the side. They kept whispering to each other with their heads down. The King of Pingnan looked at them and said, "Left and right generals, have you two reached a conclusion?"
The tent fell silent. Ding Youtian stood up, clasped his fists, and said, "We both agree with the military supervisor and the old general. Let's consider this." He looked at the group led by the General of Chariots and Cavalry, who were issuing another challenge. "If we ignore their offer of a fight and forcefully capture Fengyi County now, even if we fight all the way to Shangjing, it will surely provoke the people of Yue Kingdom to unite against our enemy!"
The will of the people is the key to winning the war. All the generals and counselors present knew this, and for a moment, everyone started talking again.
"Quiet! Stop making noise." The King of Pingnan slammed the table, his eyes scanning the crowd before landing on Ding Youtian. "Left Assistant General, continue."
Ding Youtian straightened his back and continued, "Our army has entered deep into enemy territory to fight. Originally, we had a legitimate reason to fight against invasion. However, if we continue to attack and seize cities before their elite troops arrive and agree to fight again next year, the people of Yue Kingdom will inevitably suffer! If the Yue Kingdom court then incites and instigates us, it might become an act of invasion by a great power, bullying a weaker one. If we incite every Yue Kingdom citizen to join the war and stop our army, how can we fight this war when the people and the court are united and we have the advantage on the home front?"
After he said that, he looked at the General of Chariots and Cavalry and others.
