Chapter 798 Young General vs. Rich Lady 101
General's Mansion.
Xu Sheng came in with a message, "General, there are unusual movements in Guangling City. It seems that they are mobilizing troops to Pingyang City. Do you want to intercept them halfway?"
It is impossible for Huo Xiao to waste a lot of troops to go to the west to intercept the Guangling Army. If he wants to intercept them, he can only use explosives and set traps to gain a big advantage with a small investment.
The Huo family army has a great chance of winning, but the Guangling army will definitely suffer heavy casualties. Even if they completely break off relations with Lu Yongxin, the Guangling army will not willingly listen to Huo Xiao's command in the future.
Huo Xiao had many thoughts in an instant and ordered: "Don't stop them. Find out how many people are here, what weapons they have, and who is leading them."
"The West Gate is closest to Guangling City, so focus on defending it. Send 5,000 people to the West Camp to prepare. Get all the weapons and explosives ready. If they really dare to attack the city, then fight them!"
"Yes!" Xu Sheng knelt down and accepted the order, took the token and went there immediately.
Huo Xiao stood in front of the sand table, pondering the situation in front of him.
"The worst outcome would be a three-front war, but the busiest farming season has passed. With 30,000 soldiers ready to go to the battlefield, plus some labor from the people to support logistics and medical care, we can still fight."
"Having the help of God is much better than before. God, are you there?"
In the past, Huo Xiao kept everything in his heart, but since the gods came into being, he liked to talk to the gods.
As long as he had the gods by his side, he would feel at peace no matter how difficult the situation was.
Ji Yunhuan heard Huo Xiao's voice. She placed the bronze mirror on the coffee table and muttered, "It's here."
There was grievance and sobs in his voice.
Huo Xiao's heart tightened. He turned up the light even brighter and moved closer to the bronze mirror, but he only saw his own face.
If the god does not want, he will not be able to see the image on the other side.
"What's wrong? Can you please let me see you?" Huo Xiao softened his voice, feeling very heartbroken.
Ji Yunhuan squatted on the sofa with his knees hugged, sniffed, and whispered: "No! It's ugly!"
In front of her crush, she still pays a lot of attention to her image. She doesn't want to look ugly in front of Huo Xiao, and she doesn't want to see anyone now!
Huo Xiao was so anxious that he walked around the bronze mirror twice, wishing he could run to the world of gods right now.
"God is the most beautiful person in the world, how can he be ugly? Please don't be sad, okay? How about I change my clothes to show you? Or I can dance for you? Please look at me."
Huo Xiao quickly changed his clothes, but the bronze mirror still did not move, and the god still refused to look at him.
"Then how about I sing a nursery rhyme for you? When I was a kid, I would cry and refuse to go to sleep, and my mother would always comfort me like this."
"The moon is bright, the wind is calm, the leaves cover the window frames, and the crickets chirp like the sound of strings..."
Ji Yunhuan listened to the tuneless singing. Her little general was good at leading troops in battles, but he really couldn't sing, and his voice was really bad!
Ji Yunhuan cried even harder, "Don't sing! I miss my mom, woo woo... My mom also sang to put me to sleep, and she would tell me lots of stories. My mom loves to sleep with me the most!"
"My mother can sing, dance, and play the piano. She can do everything. I don't have a mother anymore, wuwuwu..."
Ji Yunhuan was like a child who was making trouble for no reason. She cried loudly, "I just want them to come back. As long as they can come back, I don't want anything else. Huo Xiao, do you know? I have been wondering why I was not the one who died? It would be great if they were alive. What's the point of me living alone?"
"Or we... our family of three will die together... it would be so nice to be together forever..."
The darkness magnified the pain infinitely. Ji Yunhuan cried so hard that she could hardly utter a complete sentence.
Huo Xiao felt as if his heart was being pulled together, causing a sour and astringent pain.
"What would I do if you died? Without you, I would have died long ago, and 100,000 people in Pingyang City would have died too."
"Life and death are beyond our control. If possible, I would also like my father to be alive, but he left the hope of survival to me. I can only ride Chi Xiao and run as fast as I can. I want to go back and help him, even if we die together, but I can't."
"So I will do everything I can to avenge him. I killed Ke Er and so many Beirong people. I will also kill He Dan and kill all the way to Beirong."
"Huan'er, you have to live, live well, we all have to live well."
Ji Yunhuan's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her face was covered with tear marks. When she looked up, she saw Huo Xiao's sad profile.
Her little general also cried, silently and restrainedly.
Huo Xiao finally saw Ji Yunhuan, his eyes were red and he looked pitiful. This god who helped 100,000 people in Pingyang City was actually just a poor child who lost his parents.
God has helped so many people, who can help her?
Huo Xiao said seriously: "The gods are finally willing to see me. I look good, not ugly at all."
Ji Yun laughed so hard that his nose bubbled. "You're lying! I'm going to go wash my face first."
Ji Yunhuan returned to her room holding the bronze mirror, with a large headband with rabbit ears on her head. After crying, she was fully revived.
"The saddest thing in life is that you die before you spend all your money. There is still so much money waiting for me to spend. I hope I can live a long life."
While taking care of her skin, she chatted with Huo Xiao, "Is your mother's singing as bad as yours?"
Huo Xiao was a little embarrassed. "No, my mother sang very well. It's my fault that I didn't sing well. I polluted the ears of the gods. I won't sing it anymore."
"My mother is a very gentle woman. My father is strict, but my mother always coaxes me patiently. After I turned fourteen, I followed my father to fight in many battles, and I rarely saw my mother."
"My mother always blames my father for taking me to the battlefield so early, but this is the fate of the Huo family. I just hope that my brother can stay with my mother for a long time and not go to the battlefield again."
"They are all in Wangdu. When the general goes to war, his family members stay in the capital to be well-fed. To put it bluntly, they are hostages. As long as I am alive to lead the troops to fight, they will not have to worry about their lives. The people in Wangdu also know that if anything happens to them, the Huo family army will definitely rebel."
"But the situation is tense now. If I don't call them back, they will definitely have a hard time."
Ji Yunhuan put on a facial mask and whispered, "That's great. You still have your mother and brother. When you return to Wangdu, you will be reunited."
"It's right for you not to go back now. Wait until you are strong enough before going back so that you can protect your loved ones. Going back now will be a trap. They will definitely understand."
Huo Xiao smiled and said, "My brother is very smart. He has been clever since he was young. When I was young, I didn't dare to go against my father, but he dared to do so. He always made my father speechless."
"When the Huo family's army ran out of food, he also tried to sell off his property to raise food and send it over. In fact, with him here, I'm not too worried."
Ji Yunhuan stared at Huo Xiao straight. She was crying so hard just now that she didn't notice him. Only now did she realize that Huo Xiao had changed into a very designer outfit, the same style as the one he wore on the catwalk. His upper body was tied with a few straps, revealing a large area of his muscles.
She couldn't help but poke the position of the abdominal muscles on the bronze mirror and sighed: "What a beauty! It would be great if I could touch it with my own hands."
