After Ji Changchuan finished speaking, he looked at his father and uncle's expressions, wanting to know what they were thinking.
Ji Fengyi remained calm. "Then why don't you ask why you suddenly came after all these years? Why did you lose your mother back then? What are your identities? Is there any inside story? How many people came to claim your relationship? What are their attitudes?"
Ji Fengshou frowned, "What kind of thing is this! Your mother is already this old and suddenly has a new parent. I wonder if your grandma and grandpa will feel bad."
The uncle's series of questions made Ji Changchuan pause. "Only one person came... I don't know his exact identity, but he sounded quite high-ranking. My sister knows more than I do."
Ji Changying spread her hands and said, "She is the legitimate mother-in-law of Princess Ping. She is the only one who came to acknowledge her relationship. As for whether there is any inside story, I don't know. After all, it's hard to find out since she is too far away."
"Princess Ping's real mother-in-law?... Then! Then, then isn't that..." Ji Fengshou repeated while thinking, and stuttered as he spoke.
Oh my God!
Heavenly Bodhisattva!
A serious mother-in-law?
Isn't that the Empress Dowager in the palace?
Could it be that his wife is a princess?
Ji Fengshou's legs went limp and he almost fell to the ground. Ji Changchuan quickly reached out and grabbed his father: "Are you okay?"
Ji Fengyi also gasped: "Has the news been verified? Is it true?"
"pretty close."
Ji Changying had a plan in mind.
"I...I...I...I married a princess?"
Ji Fengshou was both excited and at a loss.
He originally thought that he had reached the peak of his life with his brother above him, his wife in the middle, and his children below him, but he didn't expect that there would be an even higher peak to come.
Seeing his brother's hopeless appearance, Ji Fengyi suddenly calmed down. "Don't be too happy yet. If your sister-in-law is really a princess, would the two above be interested in you?"
No matter how you look at it, his brother is good, but Ji Fengyi can't go against his conscience and close his eyes and say that his brother is good at everything.
Ji Fengshou's blood suddenly cooled down, his legs stopped shaking, he felt stronger, and he stopped stuttering.
"Well, I think there might be a misunderstanding. After all, the child was lost in Kyoto, and your mother was found in Shuangyang Mountain. What's more, this hasn't been made public! Maybe there's a mistake."
When his rationality returned, Ji Fengshou's mind started to spin.
Ji Changchuan blinked as he watched his father struggling to find his dignity. He said quietly, "I didn't say it was a done deal! I just told you so you can be mentally prepared."
Ji Fengyi still cared a lot about his brother's dignity in front of the children, so he quickly changed the subject: "... Ahem, what's the deal with this now? Has your mother admitted it? What's the other party's attitude?"
"My mother didn't recognize it, but judging by the situation, the other party did."
In fact, Ji Changying felt that if it was an ordinary family, it would be fine, but this person might be one of the two most powerful people in the Dali Dynasty.
When the time comes, whether to recognize the relationship or not may not depend on what they say.
Ji Fengyi obviously thought the same thing as her: "I'm afraid we can't make the decision on this matter."
The family of three nodded in unison.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. We came here this time..."
Ji Changying took out all the things and told them about them. She solemnly handed them the two bottles of wound medicine in her arms and said, "Old Huang's medicine is in short supply now. These two bottles were picked up from the princess. You can usually use Doctor Lin's medicine. Save these for critical moments. Be sure to take them well!"
When they really arrived at the front line and saw the people being carried back from the front every day, they realized the seriousness of the situation.
"Don't worry, Dad is not a fool. He will definitely save it. I won't give it to anyone else except your uncle and Shi Lin." Ji Fengshou put one of the bottles in his arms like a treasure, with a serious look on his face.
"We're not going to the front lines right now. We're helping feed the horses, pick vegetables, and cook. It's not even our turn to deliver supplies to the front lines. Most people in the tribe are like this. We'll take care of each other. Don't let your family worry when you go back."
Ji Fengyi told them not to talk nonsense.
"Know···"
“Bang, bang, bang!!!”
A burst of rapid drumbeats was heard, and Ji Fengshou and Ji Fengyi's faces changed: "If you have nothing to do, just follow the Red Sleeve Army and go back early. We have to go back!" After that, the two rushed back to the garrison without looking back.
Ji Changchuan frowned and looked at them: "Why are you in such a hurry to feed a horse? Are we going to go to war?"
How would Ji Changying know?
However, she had already released her mental power to catch up with the two of them.
She watched Ji Fengshou and Ji Fengyi run back to the station with serious faces to gather with others. There were many familiar faces in the assembled team!
After calling out their names, the leader led them out of the checkpoint, pushing carts and heading towards the battlefield in different directions.
Ji Changying's expression changed.
This wasn't just feeding horses, picking vegetables, or cooking! This team was clearly going to clean up the battlefield and dispose of the bodies!
The air was filled with smoke and the smell of blood. Piles of corpses piled together looked like small hills. The ground was littered with debris and broken arms. When the wind blew, a head would roll around in the wind. There was deathly silence all around.
There was only a row of people stationed here sitting on the ground to rest. When they saw them coming, they immediately stepped forward and greeted the leader.
They also split into small teams and escorted the people pushing carts to the post-war area to clean up.
Seeing this scene, all the people who came to transport the corpses changed their expressions.
Some felt choked up, some were so scared that they urinated or vomited. Only when the soldiers saw them and scolded them did they perk up and start working again.
They moved the intact bodies onto the truck, loaded them up, and transported them back. The headless bodies that did not look like their own were also thrown together and pushed into a mass grave to be processed.
The one with the head is our own, so we just look for the "parts" around us, no matter whether they are the same or not, and put together as many as we can.
This scene is like the end of the world, except there are no zombies.
Ji Changying glanced at his uncle and father who were piecing together the corpse with serious faces, then looked away, closed his eyes, and slowly exhaled.
"What's wrong?" Ji Changchuan looked at his sister who had been silent and looked unhappy, and he also became worried.
Ji Changying swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and forced a smile: "Nothing, Dad and uncle forgot something in the car, let's find someone to take it in."
Ji Changchuan suddenly realized: "Really? I forgot everything!"
He ran to find Wei Ying for help.
As soon as he left, Ji Changying's face fell.
She knew that the two of them didn't want to worry their families so they kept it a secret. She could understand that, but she really couldn't be happy.
On the battlefield.
"Brother! I'm missing an arm, give me the one you have so I can fill it up!"
In front of Ji Fengshou was a corpse with only an arm missing. He turned around anxiously and called Ji Fengyi.
Before he could answer, he heard the sound of an animal gnawing on something in the distance.
