Rather than talking about weight, it's better to say that she weighed more than the average woman at the time. Because the situation was urgent, Tang Chen hadn't given this question much thought. Now that he thought about it, whether it was Jiang Wangjiu's previous favors to him and Qingliang Valley, or his willingness to let Jiang Wanying stay and watch despite not showing up this time, his motives were not pure. "I've always been a little confused. Compared to your sister-in-law, Jiang Wangjiu and I are basically strangers, strictly speaking. Why did he go to so much trouble to help me back then?"
Jiang Wanying smiled, put her hands behind her back and leisurely spun around in front of Tang Chen, then raised her eyebrows and said, "Maybe, it's because of today."
Jiang Wanying's words were truly interesting today. Since she was willing to answer, she probably wouldn't mind saying a few more words. "Why?"
Jiang Wanying explained simply, "Bugui Peak has been secluded from the world for too long, and we can't go on like this forever. Right now, we face the same problem as the Huangfu family in South Vietnam, and now is the opportunity to break the centuries-old seclusion."
Tang Chen had actually heard this from her history teacher back in school: the millennial reigns dreamed of by ancient emperors were simply impossible to achieve. At least for now, a millennial dynasty was just a dream for the imperial family. But from what she knew, neither the Huangfu family nor Bugui Peak were actually isolated from the world; they used their own methods to exchange ideas and technologies with those outside their borders. Given this premise, she actually quite yearned for their current lives: "Being self-sufficient and ignoring worldly affairs, doesn't that sound like a wonderful thing?"
Jiang Wanying said, "It's indeed wonderful, a carefree and happy life. But if it continues like this for one generation, two generations, and even for thousands and hundreds of generations, isn't it tragic? Humans are born lazy. Without some stimulation, this already short life will just end in death. And when the outside world influences us, how long do you think we can hold out in the face of the impact?"
Tang Chen was slightly stunned. It was said that the three generations of Chuanfeng were all noble families. No wonder the Huangfu family and the Jiang family had existed for so long. "...You have quite a few issues to consider."
Jiang Wanying shook her head and swept her sleeves, saying, "That's something they need to think about. As for us little guys, we just need to seize the opportunity, work hard to live our own lives, and pursue the life we want."
So, after Jiang Wanying chose to accept Jiang Wangjiu's arrangement, she secretly reached an agreement with herself. Once upon a time, she was also such an ambitious girl, but now, the time left for her is too little, and many things can no longer be done. "That's great! I also wanted to live like this back then. Okay, here we are. I don't need to remind you of what should and shouldn't be said."
Jiang Wanying snapped her fingers and said, "It's okay for others, but you still don't trust me."
Before she finished speaking, Tang Chen, who had just been showing off his cheerful smile, suddenly turned his back and ran away without saying a word. Jiang Wanying, who was standing in front of Liang Shuyi's courtyard, was startled by her behavior: "Hey, where are you going?"
"Don't worry about me," Tang Chen said hurriedly before running away. If Jiang Wanying hadn't thought about the situation in the Qingliang Palace, she would have really suspected that Tang Chen was a spy sent by the enemy. She had been sneaking around lately, and no one knew what she was doing. "I really can't figure out what this woman is thinking. I can't see through her actions at all."
Tang Chen suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, and fearing that others would see him in such a sick state, he ran away without saying a word. When his feet gave way and he fell to the ground without any strength left, Tang Chen looked around with a sweat on his forehead. After making sure that no one saw him, he took a pill made from Tianshan Snow Lotus that he had been carrying with him. After crawling in the bushes nearby for a while, he gradually regained his composure. "Huh, I almost died. Let's go back slowly. Don't let them see me, otherwise it will be difficult to explain."
…At the same time, the Beimo Artillery Guard, who were also resting in the same place near dusk, took their dry food and walked aside after Chen Xin and Wei Xian changed shifts. They observed the surrounding movements and talked in low voices.
Wei Xian hadn't been back to Qingliang Valley in a long time. If nothing unexpected had happened, he would have been back in the next two years. But who knew a war would break out, and he'd end up with the enemy when he returned? It was truly unpredictable. "Looking at this progress, we should be almost near Zhiyoulin, right?"
Chen Xin nodded slightly. Qingliang Valley was hilly and mountainous, so if Beimo's artillery wanted to achieve the best possible impact, the battlefield location chosen by Xie Zhuangshui would be the best. The people in Tianshu Tower were omnipresent and likely knew every detail of the previous battle. They might even suggest a location for Beimo to deploy their artillery.
While thinking about this, Chen Xin wanted to speak, but fortunately he didn't. Boss Yang, who seemed to be the most experienced among the guards, saw that the two newcomers were sitting on the periphery and not talking to everyone. He thought that they might not be used to it yet, so he came over with some dry food.
When I came here, I just heard Wei Xian say this, and I couldn't help but say, "Yes, we're going to the battlefield soon. You two have been doing logistics before, and now you're suddenly going to the battlefield. Are you nervous?"
Almost instantly, Chen Xin put away the pensive and solemn expression on his face, like a big child going on a long journey for the first time, and said excitedly: "Of course I am nervous, but I am still very excited when I think about achieving something great!"
The state of these two people at this moment was exactly what Yang Laoda hoped to see. Although they didn't talk much, their morale was still very high. "Wow, I didn't expect you two newcomers to be so open-minded. Going to the battlefield, you need excitement and passion. If you are afraid of death, then you will really die."
Upon hearing this, Wei Xian asked curiously, "Boss, from what you said, you've followed the Khan on many expeditions, haven't you?"
"Hahaha, he's just an unknown soldier under the Khan, there's nothing much to say." This is what he said. Although Boss Yang is just an unknown soldier now, as long as he wants, he can choose any position in the army except the highest few levels.
Chen Xin said that from what he heard, this Sheep Boss was indeed not simple: "Boss is really too modest. When we are ready to fight, we will rely on you to give us more advice!"
