Ji Fengyao weighed the two options in her mind and then turned to persuade Shang Xiye: "Your Highness, why don't we send the children to Vulture Village first, and then move them to Cangzhou once the city is developed?"
After saying that, she whispered, "These children have lost their loved ones and suffered greatly. Their physical wounds heal easily, but their emotional wounds are hard to heal. The people of Vulture Village are all open-minded and warm-hearted, unlike ordinary people. They will not look at or treat these children with prejudice."
Furthermore, the elderly people and women of Vulture Village are definitely more experienced in raising children than those men in Cangzhou. They can better take care of their daily lives and provide them with a sense of family warmth. What do you think?
Upon hearing this, Shang Xiye thought of the dark twenty years he had spent with Hei Xiao;
If it weren't for encountering the little female bandit;
If it weren't for encountering the Ji family, that den of bandits;
He and Black Owl probably don't yet know what warmth or light and hope are.
“Alright, then we’ll send it to Vulture Village first. But I’ll have to trouble my mother-in-law.” Shang Xiye nodded and agreed, then looked at Ji Chenhai as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Never mind, I won't say anything more.
He trusts his parents-in-law's character.
There's nothing wrong with raising kids to be a bit tough.
"No trouble at all," Ji Chenhai's mouth was practically stretched to the back of his neck as he rubbed his hands together and chuckled at the children who were staring at them with wide eyes, "Little brats, from now on you are my Vulture Stronghold's child soldiers. If anyone dares to bully you again, just say my name and I'll skin them alive!"
The children: "..."
The people inside the room: "..."
On the side of Duke Chen.
Now that they had decided to return to Beijing, the father and his two sons stopped being so frugal with their food rations. After eating well for three days, their spirits returned.
Even the soldiers under their command had more food for the past three days. In addition to a bowl of clear porridge, each person also received a small steamed bun, but this still could not fill the stomachs of those seven-foot-tall men.
Incited by the spies planted by the Ninth Prince in the Chen family's army camp, the resentment in the hearts of the Chen family soldiers not only did not ease, but grew even stronger.
In an ordinary tent, a group of ordinary soldiers huddled together to keep warm.
One of the informants, planted by the Nine Kings' faction, deliberately muttered resentfully to his companion beside him:
"They clearly had food; the tents behind were full of grain. They just wouldn't give it to us. They only gave us an extra cornbread when they saw our morale was low!"
"That's right. I clearly saw the father and his two sons and their cronies eating stewed mushrooms with meat at noon. The aroma could be smelled from far away."
The other soldiers, upon hearing their conversation, especially the words of the soldier in the back, immediately began to drool, feeling an unbearable hunger rising in their stomachs.
When people are hungry, even the most good-tempered person will inevitably feel a little irritable, let alone the fact that most of the soldiers in the barracks are hot-blooded young men. Immediately, some people joined in the discussion:
"Does the Chen family father and son want us to freeze and starve to death? We are soldiers under their command. What good will it do them if we starve to death?!"
"You probably haven't heard the saying, 'One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand,'" Eyeliner nail instantly retorted.
The informant, Yi, also rushed over to Da Zhaozhao and lowered his voice mysteriously, saying, "Let's not think too highly of ourselves. What are those Chen family's soldiers compared to us? We're just cannon fodder. I heard that the father and his two sons didn't want to come to the Northwest in the first place. They had a conflict with Marquis Anping, which went up to the Emperor, and the Emperor punished them by sending them to the Northwest."
