After hearing what Yu Jinshu said, Huo Qi stopped talking.
He could feel that Yu Jinshu only treated him as a friend.
Yu Jinshu reminded the children to be careful on the road. She picked up the axe that had fallen to the ground and was picked up by a child and started chopping wood.
Huo Qi also drew the sword from his waist.
The first time he chopped wood, he chopped it like he was chopping a person, with a chop to the left and a chop to the right. The children were all stunned watching him.
The sword could cut iron like mud, so it was even easier to cut wood. However, the children had to pick up the wood he had chopped.
This is a good thing. The children don’t have to chop wood. They can just chase after him and collect firewood.
Yu Jinshu immediately recognized the sword in Huo Qi's hand as a precious sword and said with a smile, "Abai, using this precious sword to chop wood is a complete waste."
Huo Qi disagreed, "The sword can be used to chop wood, which is another use."
Seeing him saying this seriously, Yu Jinshu couldn't help laughing again.
With Huo Qi's help, the firewood was chopped quickly.
Huo Qi, the god of war, piled all the children's firewood on his back. It looked like a small mountain was pressing on his back, but he walked very easily with the mountain on his back. He also kept an eye on Yu Jinshu and the children from time to time, fearing that they would fall off the mountain.
After returning to their residence, the Yu family looked at the firewood on Huo Qi's back and came forward to help.
After Huo Qi unloaded the firewood on his back, Yu Jinshu asked him to go into the house to keep warm.
Huo Qi walked in and looked at the simple house. The floor was mud and the walls were made of stones and mud. Since it was newly built, the mud was not yet very dry.
But the room was warm because of the charcoal fire.
Huo Qi thought about how the Yu family had once lived a life of luxury, yet now they had fallen to this state, and a surge of anger instantly rose in his heart.
Damn this emperor! The Yu family fought for him to conquer the world, yet he treats the Yu family so harshly.
Yu Jinshu brought a bowl of cooked mutton noodles and handed it to Huo Qi: "Eat it quickly, it will warm you up."
Huo Qi took the mutton noodles, smelled them and thought they were delicious, so he picked up the wooden chopsticks and started eating.
After eating, Huo Qi stood up as he still had military duties to attend to.
Before leaving, he said to Yu Jinshu, "It will be the winter solstice in two days. The Mobei Palace will be very lively. You can bring your brother with you."
He handed Yu Jinshu a small wooden box containing an invitation and a semicircular jade pendant. "The invitation was written by the prince himself, expressing gratitude for your healing of the Queen Mother's illness and asking you to bring your brother with you. And here's the jade pendant. The Mobei King asked me to give it to you, saying that from now on you can come and go freely in the Mobei Palace."
After saying this, he mounted his horse and rode away.
Yu Jinshu held the jade pendant and looked at the receding figure. She sighed in her heart again, thinking that it would be great if her target was Abai.
