Chapter 458 Border Time
Jiang Yue also wanted to use Princess Xining to force Xining to cede the border cities.
The matter was settled, and Jiang Yue was already planning her trip for tomorrow.
Life at the border is always more hectic than in the capital.
After everyone left, she found her lost horse, mounted it, and planned to go out and hunt some game.
Even though life in the military camp is tight, we must always find some fun for ourselves.
As soon as Jiang Yue left, Wu Fei and Xue Wen followed.
Jiang Yue always has these two followers behind her.
Because military camps have been stationed in the mountains for a long time, there are very few prey.
"I really want to eat meat." Wu Fei recalled the daily meals in the capital. He began to miss it since the day he left, and he still misses it now.
He also wanted to eat the food his mother cooked, "I really want to go home."
This time, Xue Wen did not tease Wu Fei as usual, but echoed: "I want to go home too."
He could already imagine the scenes of this triumphant return.
Thinking about the scene of myself riding a tall horse and being paraded through the streets with Jiang Yue, I felt so majestic.
Before I knew it, the five brothers had followed.
They all carried bows and arrows, but they didn't catch any prey.
However, their focus is not on prey.
Wu Ning said: "I haven't been home for another year. I miss my master and his wife."
Wu Fang also said: "Yes, another year has passed, and I don't know how long the final battle will take."
Jiang Yue hasn't been home for another year. She doesn't know whether her grandmother is as healthy as before, nor does she know how much taller her nephews and nieces have grown.
"It's almost time. We'll be able to go home soon."
Xue Wen: "Soon, but it will take at least a year."
"So long?" Wu Fei wanted to go home all the time.
"We are fighting a war, do you think we are playing house?" Xue Wen patted Wu Fei on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"This trip to Xining will take at least one month, and at most two months." Mining saltpeter is not that easy.
Wu Fei held his head with one hand.
"I thought it would only take a month to defeat Beiyan."
"What can you do in a month?" Xue Wen secretly laughed at Wu Fei. He had been following Jiang Yue for so long, but his mind was still so honest and he couldn't think straight at all.
"We want the border city of Xining, but robbing it by force won't work at this time."
"Also, it takes time to make gunpowder. Won't it take another half a year before the war actually starts?"
"That's right." Jiang Yue agreed, "And there's also the war in Dajin."
I have to say that Xue Wen's idea still leaves enough room for maneuver.
She knew that the great battle yesterday had seriously damaged Beiyan's vitality.
In the following period of time, they will definitely be thinking about how to counterattack.
But, they are just moths to a flame.
The five brothers listened quietly, imagining the final triumph of the army in their minds, with smiles of victory on their faces.
Wu Ning approached Jiang Yue, thought about it for a while, and asked:
"General Yue, why didn't your fifth sister come?"
He regretted it the moment he asked. It would be safe if Jiang Wu Ni didn't come.
"Fifth sister was left in the capital, busy with business matters." Jiang Yue told the truth.
She respects her fifth sister and will not interfere in her affairs or make any promises for her.
She only paid attention to whether the fifth sister would suffer any substantial harm at the appropriate time.
Before leaving, she made sufficient arrangements for the safety of her fifth sister.
"Business?" Wu Ning almost forgot that Jiang Yue's family was in business.
The other four brothers' thoughts drifted to future wars.
...As for Singh, having experienced several months of inhuman treatment, she is now living in Chen Lian's house and has not felt uncomfortable at all. However, she has been in a bad mood since she woke up all day.
That night, Chen Lian cooked the medicine soup again and brought it to her.
"I'm almost your servant. Why don't you just talk and stop being alone all the time?"
As soon as Singh smelled the bitter medicine, he felt sick to his stomach.
"I don't want to drink."
"Drink it while it's hot." Chen Lian handed the medicine to Singer.
As soon as Singh took it, his fingertips were burned and the medicine bowl fell to the ground with a bang, breaking into pieces, and the medicine spilled all over the floor.
Both girls were stunned at the same time. Singh's eyes were red, and Chen Lian's eyes were also red, but the latter was obviously annoyed.
"There are only a few bowls in my house!"
"You know these medicines were all sent by Jiang Yue, so take one less!"
"You still think you are a young lady? If it weren't for Jiang Yue, who would care about you!"
Chen Lian's entire family died at the hands of Bei Yan, and she herself was saved by Jiang Yue, so she always wanted to repay her.
As she spoke, she cleaned up the broken porcelain pieces on the floor.
"I'm sorry." Singh stiffened his swollen fingertips and looked at Chen Lian's calloused hands. It was hard to imagine what her life was like before.
Thinking of her recent experiences, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Don't cry." Chen Lian was still a child, not very good at comforting others, and could only speak incoherently:
"I have been living alone for the past year. Now that you are with me, I am no longer lonely... Please don't cry, okay?"
"Yeah." Singh wiped away his tears, but they couldn't be stopped from flowing again.
In the end, because of Singh's sobbing, Chen Lian herself almost became depressed.
"Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. Let's go out for a walk and see if the moon outside is as round as the one at your house."
Singh was weak, and he and Chen Lian left the house together, caressing the wound on his chest.
"Who bandaged my wound?"
"Of course it's me. After all, medicine is the best." Chen Lian said this and thought of Jiang Yue again.
"By the way, General Jiang Yue asked me to tell you that if you want to go home, tell her and she will take you back."
"How do I tell her?" Singer looked up in surprise, with more anticipation in his eyes.
"She said there are sentinels around here."
Singh's expectant eyes dimmed again.
"In just one year, she has become a general?"
"I heard her subordinates call her General Yue." Chen Lian admired Jiang Yue even more.
"Do you want to go home?" Chen Lian asked.
"Home? I have no home for a long time." Singh felt heartbroken when he thought of his former home.
"Is he even worse off than me? Is it also Donglin's fault?" Chen Lian felt more sympathetic towards Singh.
…On the same night, Jiang Yue, Wu Fei, Xue Wen, and five other senior brothers sat around the campfire outside the military camp, eating barbecue, and their taste buds were satisfied.
The prey that is hard to catch tastes delicious.
After a while, Ah Huang, who hadn't been seen for a year, came over to eat after smelling the food.
Because Jiang Yue gave the rabbit in her hand to it, Wu Fei and others felt distressed.
The three generals standing far away, especially Xia Yuanchen, felt not for the first time that Jiang Yue treated Ah Huang better than he treated him.
He smelled the aroma of meat, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva as he hadn't seen meat for a long time.
"We are still no match for Ah Huang."
Ling Yunxiao and Zhang Yan agreed with this.
The next moment, Jiang Yue brought a freshly roasted pheasant to the three people.
"Three generals, the food is limited. How are you going to share it?"
There was unprecedented satisfaction in the eyes of the three people.
In front of the grill, there were three more people.
The happy time passed quickly, Jiang Yue slept well that night, and the troops set out early the next morning for the Xining border.
