Chapter 364 Entering Xihua City
Shao Qing lost face in front of his subordinates and angrily whipped Shao Songchen away.
After walking for a long time, when the team came to rest, his eyelids were twitching and he felt uneasy.
So he called the people around him to go and take a look at the carriage.
After checking, the subordinate ran back and reported anxiously, "It's over! Mr. Yue was knocked unconscious, and the young master took Young Master Jintang away!"
Shao Qing's eyes went dark when he stared.
"He is not my son, he is really not my son..."
How did they march? Hundreds of thousands of soldiers just staring blankly and eating dry food?
Yue Buyuan heard the noise and opened his eyes.
There was a circle of people around.
How come people are watching me while I’m sleeping?
"Mr. Yue, does your neck hurt?"
Shao Qing walked forward tremblingly and rubbed Yue Buyuan's neck.
The calluses on his hands made the moon so round that it hurt.
"No, no, no, it doesn't hurt."
What's going on? Why is a general pinching his neck?
"Mr. Yue, the child is naughty. Can you please not tell the master? Just say that you fell asleep on your own." Shao Qing said humbly in Yue Buyuan's ear.
Did he sleep by himself?
Yue Buyuan nodded. His throat was a little dry from sleeping, and he couldn't help coughing.
"Hurry up and bring a pear to Mr. Yue!" Shao Qing turned around and shouted.
Yue Buyuan ate the pear calmly, and he already knew what was going on.
Why……
"General Shao, I'm not saying this to you, you've taught Young Master Shao martial arts very well, but you should also pay attention to your studies.
I said dog, he said cat, I said gourd ladle, he said loofah pulp.
I said that mice have skins but humans have no manners, so he said there are no fragrant mice in the world, only stinky mice.
He said that if you throw a papaya at me, I will repay you with a jade pendant. He said that if anyone dared to throw a papaya at him, he would throw a big pumpkin in return, and we would see who would be killed.
I will now speak…”
Fortunately, his student was Jintang, otherwise he would have vomited blood and died.
Shao Qing said yes awkwardly.
I complained in my heart: I don’t blame my son for saying that he is like a monk chanting sutras, so long-winded!
The most important thing now is to find Young Master Jintang!
My son is a wild melon, but Jintang is a golden nugget.
"Mr. Yue is right. I will go and apologize to the Lord and send someone to retrieve him."
"No need to go. I asked the two of them to go and practice. There are people accompanying them, and they will be back in half a day." Yue Buyuan said slowly.
Shao Qing glared: Damn it, you didn't tell me earlier! You made him sit here and listen to your lecture for so long.
I really want to scold this pretentious face.
Suddenly, Shao Qing's eyelids twitched again.
Broken! Forgot the attributes of the son.
Belongs to a wild pigeon!
Can you come back in half a day?
It’s okay, there’s someone following you!
A fragrance came from the front.
Shao Qing took a deep breath. The mistress had prepared delicious food again. The master was so blessed.
Sang Ning excitedly fiddled with the things in the pot. This time he really found a treasure.
I actually caught a big turtle in the nearby river!
It’s as big as a basketball!
Huo Changan was also busy. He stewed a pheasant in another pot and threw in the dried mushrooms, matsutake mushrooms, and instant noodles he brought with him.
"Don't eat too much. Drink turtle soup later. It's very tonic!" Sang Ning reminded.
Huo Changan sighed slightly and whispered, "It's not a good idea to make up for it on the road."
Sanning: "..."
He coughed dryly, as if he really didn't need any supplements.
That was better for her and Jingya to eat.
But this turtle is very fat, and I’m afraid two people can’t finish it.
Yan Meng hunted a rabbit, roasted it and sent over a rabbit leg.
Sang Ning asked politely again, "Brother Meng, do you want to drink turtle soup?"
Don't bring up anything that is not related to the topic!
"What's the point of drinking soup when you don't even have a wife!"
Well……
Mengge now looks like a resentful husband.
She didn't ask any more questions and just ate the good food herself.
After rinsing it with water, Sang Ning took the turtle out and opened its shell with a knife.
"Let me do it." Huo Changan took the knife.
Under Sanning's command, the shell was removed perfectly and then the internal organs began to be removed.
The movements were smooth and the entrails were cut into pieces.
Sang Ning sighed, thinking that he still hadn’t practiced enough.
Suddenly, Huo Changan stopped moving.
A section of something was exposed from the damaged internal organs.
He fixed his eyes and pinched it out with his fingers.
Joints, nails...human fingers!
Oh my god!
Sang Ning's face turned pale. Even eating a wild turtle can lead to eating human flesh. What a damn world!
Human flesh and bones everywhere!
The water they used to cook just now was all from the river.
"Come on, follow me to the river!"
Huo Changan immediately took people to the river to check.
The river is very wide and connects several cities. Up here, it is already the lower reaches and the water flow is slow.
After checking, no bodies were found.
"There are so many deaths in this world, it's not surprising," said Yan Meng.
We don’t know where the body is in the river, so we can’t find it.
But no one drinks this water anymore.
Sang Ning was even more depressed. She missed the space, the clean water and the big black fish!
"My little space..." She patted Huo Changan's belly, feeling sad.
"Is it really impossible to hatch anymore?"
Huo Changan shook his head helplessly.
The moon on the side is not full, which is a bit scary.
The mistress is asking too much. A man can learn to do laundry and cook, but how can he give birth to a child?
"Mr. Yue, is Jintang back?" Huo Changan asked.
"Well, no." Yue Buyuan frowned.
He had a bad feeling. Would Shao Songchen kidnap his good disciple?
"No need to wait, it's better to go out and gain some experience. Anyway, there are people following me."
"Set off!"
The army continued to march forward.
When they arrived at the next city, they didn't even have to fight because the defending general had already opened the city gates to welcome the Huo family army.
This place is close to the north, and people respect Huo Zhennan more than the emperor.
So, no sweat.
The same thing happened in a city further south.
But a question that I had thought about before also appeared.
The further south you go, the more Buddhist temples there are and the more land they occupy.
With the support of the local county magistrate, Huo Chang'an left three Buddhist temples in one city, and all the others were disbanded, the land was confiscated and returned to the people.
Because of its small scale, it did not cause any disturbance, and the people got the land without any complaints.
Until the next Xihua City.
Xihua City is an important town for north-south transportation and is considered a prosperous area.
The commander here is Yuan Ming's nephew.
Although Yuan Mu also declared surrender, Huo Changan did not enter the city, but instead had people set up camp outside the city.
I just received news from the secret guards that Shao Songchen actually instigated Jintang to enter Xihua City!
Others may not know, but Huo Changan knows that Jintang is not someone Shao Songchen can fool. It must be that the brat wants to go there himself!
Then let’s wait for the secret guards to send more news and see what the situation is in the city!
The weather turns cooler and a cold wind blows.
Before we knew it, it was almost the end of October.
Sang Ning put on his cotton coat.
"Fourth sister-in-law, are you cold?" Huo Jingya was wearing a military uniform with only a thick cotton sweater underneath.
"It's cold, aren't you cold?"
"It's not cold."
Looking at the others, they were all wearing very thin clothes.
People who practice martial arts have hot bodies, and Sang Ning really envied them.
But she is exercising now, so why isn’t she getting stronger?
She remembered that she wasn't so afraid of the cold when she was in the northwest last year.
