"Thank you, Auntie!"
Xiao Lingyan grinned, suppressed her excitement, and thanked Lin Yiran first.
Then she turned around excitedly and looked at the dusty child soldiers.
No, now they are called Boy Scouts.
She thought the name "Boy Scouts" used by her aunt sounded better, so she called them "Boy Scouts" from then on.
"Why are you so embarrassed?!"
Xiao Lingyan looked at the familiar faces and her voice couldn't help but choke up.
Xie Qingheng suppressed the urge to cry, and pulled the corners of his lips to the sides, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.
"We—we miss the young general very much."
"I miss the days of training and studying with you..."
"We have decided to follow the young general and never separate..."
When Xie Qingheng said the last sentence, tears as big as beans instantly rolled down his eyes.
After so many days of hard travel, it was all worth it when I saw the two young generals.
Xiao Lingyan bit her lips tightly, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
She also missed the friends she spent every day with.
Xiao Linghui's big, round eyes had already turned red, tears welling up in their rims...
Lin Yiran winked at Madam Xiao and Zheng Yunyun.
The three of them took Shanglu and quietly left the front yard, leaving the place for the children...
.........
In Shuitian City, road construction and military training are in full swing.
Dong Wenfeng on this side seemed to have taken drugs and kept traveling day and night.
As soon as they left Guangfeng City, they met a soldier riding a donkey with a flag on his back, who was traveling on Kuku.
Dong Wenfeng stared at the soldier with eyes wide open, in astonishment.
"You---Is this an 800-mile express?"
"General, help!"
When the dusty messenger soldier saw a group of people riding tall horses, he was so excited that tears burst into his eyes, as if he had seen his own father.
He rode a donkey from Shiquan City to the capital to deliver a letter, thinking he could change horses at the next stop.
Who knew that every city along the way would be looted so thoroughly?
Cities that originally had horses were forced to kill their horses to satisfy their hunger because all their food was stolen.
Moreover, these cities were like deserted towns, with most of the people having fled.
On the way, he met countless refugees heading towards Shiquan City.
He tried to persuade these people that there was no food in Shiquan City and it would be pointless to go there. However, when these people saw that he was a soldier, they ignored him.
He had important tasks to accomplish, so it was a blessing that he could say that. He didn't have the time to keep persuading the people.
The soldier who delivered the letter looked at Dong Wenfeng wearing the general's armor with tears in his eyes.
Dong Wenfeng frowned, suppressed the irritation in his heart, and scolded impatiently,
"Old man, just say what you want to say. You're crying like a woman."
The messenger sobbed twice, but was scolded by Dong Wenfeng and dared not cry anymore.
"General, I am a soldier guarding Shiquan City. A major incident occurred in Shiquan City not long ago. All the horses in the city disappeared overnight."
"The prefect asked me to deliver a letter to the capital at full speed, but unfortunately..."
Thinking of the hardship of riding the donkey along the way, the messenger couldn't help crying.
"It's a pity that there's not a single horse in the whole city. Even this little donkey had to be borrowed from the people."
Whatever he had to eat along the way, he would share half with the little donkey.
If the little donkey died, he would have run himself to death after such a long journey.
It's a pity that such a fat little donkey had been running with him for so long and now it's just skin and bones.
He himself was not much better off and shared the same fate as the little donkey.
The soldier who delivered the letter did not dare to mention the outrageous words spoken on the ground of Shiquan City.
It's no use telling the general about this, I still have to report it to the emperor.
He just wanted to ask the general for a horse so that he could deliver the letter to the emperor as soon as possible.
"What!?" Dong Wenfeng stared at the messenger in shock.
"All the horses in the city have disappeared? How long has it been going on?"
The messenger soldier nodded repeatedly with a mournful look on his face, "They're all gone. It's been over half a month."
He ran day and night and couldn't remember how long it had been, but it was at least half a month.
Dong Wenfeng frowned, looked at the skinny horse under him, and turned to look at the soldiers behind him.
"Come down and give him the horse."
If they needed horses for an express delivery of 800 miles, they had to provide them.
Dong Wenfeng clenched his back teeth, and the veins in his temples were throbbing.
His hand holding the reins trembled slightly, and he seemed to be killing people without any control.
Ever since he suffered a brain injury and couldn't wake up, he has become very irritable.
Only by constantly practicing martial arts and releasing physical energy can he suppress the urge to kill.
The result was that his martial arts became more and more powerful, to the point where he could compete with General Bai.
The downside is that he killed more people, especially the Xiao family!
Xiao Yunzhan must die at his hands. He suspected that the Xiao family was responsible for his head being knocked down.
