Chapter 466 Her soldiers, her people, she has to manage them, she has to be responsible for them!

"General, you can even read the heavens?"
"What can't your general do?"
Don't be fooled by what Li Shiyue said to Sun Xiaoliu; in reality, she has no knowledge of celestial phenomena.
In recent years, because he owns several acres of farmland, Li Shiyue has been very attentive to farming.
Although she learned a little about astronomical observation from the old farmers in the fields, it was all common knowledge that almost anyone who had ever farmed knew.
How could she possibly know how to read the heavens?
As for why she told Sun Xiaoliu that it would rain that day?
That's because she figured it out from something called the "Weather Bell" that she obtained from Bai Zixuan, who came from the cultivation world, through the trading system.
It's a system product, absolutely easy to use!
However, on this vast grassland, apart from the tents in the barbarian tribes where they could take shelter from the rain, where else could they find shelter at this time?
Li Shiyue would at most lead the Xuanjia Army to a place where the rain was less intense.
So, Li Shiyue and his group got soaked to the bone on the way.
At least they were all wearing armor, so even if they got wet in the rain, the armor could still offer some protection.
But for the past two weeks, Chen Yong, Sun Xiaoliu, Hei Zi and their thousand-plus Xuanjia soldiers have been following Li Shiyue, fighting non-stop every day.
They earned a lot of horses and gold and silver, but they also suffered a lot themselves.
Now, after being directly drenched in this rain, even someone as strong as Li Shiyue felt her nose getting a little stuffy.
The rain stopped, and Li Shiyue mounted her horse and headed out to the outer perimeter.
Upon seeing this, Sun Xiaoliu immediately got up to follow.
However, Li Shiyue called out to him, "Don't follow me. This general is going to pee. I don't need you to stand guard."
Li Shiyue rode away on his horse. Sun Xiaoliu sat down again, shook the rainwater off his hat brim, and turned to Chen Yong beside him, saying, "Brother Yong, tell me about our general, he's really interesting."
If it weren't for the fact that our general's face still looks like a woman's, when she said she needed to pee, I would have thought our general was a real man.
Be careful what you say!
"What business is it of yours to interfere in the general's affairs!"
"Hey, Brother Yong, I was just praising our general for that, you know, that, yes, for being unconventional!"
Have you seen it these past few days?
Our general wields those twin swords like a flower!
In my opinion, the general is much more capable than General Liu and General Ma!
"Look at this trip," Sun Xiaoliu turned to look at the strong, tall horses behind him, "We've definitely earned all the credit!"
The general said he'd recommend us for credit, which means he'll definitely get it mentioned to the higher-ups!
"We just can't level up. The brothers certainly didn't skimp on the loot this time!"
Sun Xiaoliu patted his chest, making a loud "bang" sound as he patted his breastplate, then said to Chen Yong with a smile, "Following our general is just awesome!"
"Once I go back, I can buy a small courtyard house and ask a matchmaker to find me a wife!"
While being chattered by crickets, Li Shiyue did indeed go to relieve herself, but she also wanted to find an opportunity to retrieve something from the system.
Based on their current coordinates, to return to the Turkic royal court quickly, they would have to wait until the sun rose tomorrow, when the grassland was less damp, and then ride swiftly for a day and a night to reach the outskirts of the Turkic royal court.
But they had already been traveling for days, and now they were soaked in the rain. If they were to encounter a group of barbarians lying in ambush on the road, there would surely be casualties.
This is not what Li Shiyue wanted.
She has to manage and be responsible for her soldiers and her people!
She doesn't care; who will be willing to risk their lives for her in the future?
So when she rode back on her little red horse, she took out two large-bellied, small-mouthed earthenware jars from the saddlebag on the horse's neck.
This jar is no ordinary earthenware jar, but a large jar that Li Shiyue commissioned from Bai Zixuan, containing hidden treasures.
When people say someone is "very good at pretending," they really are!
After dismounting, Li Shiyue called Chen Yong and Sun Xiaoliu over and handed them the two jars.
Sun Xiaoliu thought the jar would be heavy, but when he picked it up, it really was heavy!
If he hadn't been skilled enough to quickly recover, he would have almost dropped the jar to the ground.
"General, what's this? It's quite heavy."
Chen Yong didn't ask the question aloud, but the expression on his face conveyed the same idea.
“Your jar contains filling pills,” Li Shiyue pointed to the earthenware jar Sun Xiaoliu was holding, then pointed to the jar Chen Yong was holding, “and contains peace pills.”
As the name suggests, the "full belly pill" is a pill that will make you feel full after eating it.
The "Wu Shi Wan" (无事丸) means that if you take it, you won't get sick much.
You two distribute them to the brothers, so that each of them can have one.
For someone with a build like Heizi, give him two extra filling pills.
"Get some rest. We'll have to keep going once the sun rises tomorrow."
Regardless of what Chen Yong and Sun Xiaoliu were thinking, on the surface, they both acted as if they completely believed Li Shiyue's words.
Li Shiyue didn't care whether they believed her or not; as long as they obeyed and distributed the two kinds of meatballs to the Xuanjia Army, that was enough.
Of course, those "full stomach pills" are actually the "fasting pills" in the world of cultivation, and they really do not make you hungry after eating them;
The "Peace Pill" is the "body-strengthening pill" that body cultivators in the cultivation world eat. It doesn't actually prevent illness, but it can increase strength and improve immunity to some extent, so it can be considered as preventing illness.
After explaining the functions of the two types of pills, Li Shiyue took out the crystal-clear bottle from his chest and handed it to Sun Xiaoliu, saying, "This divine water is only for the injured brothers to drink."
Li Shiyue was about to give one more instruction when Sun Xiaoliu interrupted, "General, I know, this is the divine water your mother obtained after kowtowing nine hundred and ninety-nine times in the Taoist temple!"
Also, this bottle needs to be returned to the general after it's used up; it's a beautiful bottle and quite valuable.
With her mouth agape, Li Shiyue had no choice but to shut up, nod at Sun Xiaoliu, and then say with a knowing look, "Yes, that's it."
Okay, distribute them now.
Chen Yong and Sun Xiaoliu, holding the jars, gathered all twenty team leaders together and then began distributing meatballs to them.
Just when Sun Xiaoliu thought that the jar couldn't hold many more dumplings and that it would be too small to pour out any more, dumplings would always be poured out of the jar!
Not to mention Sun Xiaoliu and Chen Yong were surprised, even the twenty team leaders who were holding cloth bags with the openings bulging and waiting to receive the meatballs all thought that this was truly a divine jar.
The dumped meatballs piled up together are much larger than the volume of the jar that can be seen from the outside!
However, Sun Xiaoliu was clever. After serving the tenth team leader the meatballs, he immediately sent those ten team leaders back to distribute meatballs.
"Sixth Brother, isn't there another kind that we haven't been given yet?"
Let's split them together! I brought two bags! They can hold a lot! We won't get them mixed up!
"I told you to come back after you've finished distributing them, so here you are!"
Hurry up, don't delay!
After Chen Yong and Sun Xiaoliu had distributed the two kinds of meatballs to all the team leaders, the two looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.
Then Sun Xiaoliu raised his hand and shook the earthenware jar, and you could still hear the "rustling" sound of the meatballs rubbing against the inner wall of the jar.
In other words, even after more than a thousand pills have been distributed, there are still pills left in this jar!
"Brother Yong, could what our general said be true?"
"Is this water truly divine water obtained from the Taoist temple?"
