BXBX NOVEL Chapter 376 - 376: Morale
When Li Yu appeared in front of the courtyard door with Yan Niang, Uncle Liu shouted, “Madam, you’re back!” He turned around in surprise and ran in.
“Master, Young Master and Madam are back.”
Yan Niang looked at Uncle Liu and the servants’ happy expressions when they saw Li Yu and was even more determined to come to Li Yu’s house.
“Madam, you’re back!” Xiaoyu, Gu Yu, and the others welcomed her.
Li Yu looked at Xiaoyu and the others and smiled. “I’m back.” She quickly entered the room and took the letter out of her space. She went out and handed it to Yan Niang. Yan Niang looked at Xiaoyu and the others, who were waiting at the side, and bowed to Li Yu before leaving with the letter.
Xiaoyu supported her waist and said to Li Yu with a smile, “Madam, Ruyi has just gone out to the city wall to check on the war. Ji Xiang is accompanying Master to work in the government office. Master was in the front office all night last night. Auntie Liu said that it was rumored that those Qi soldiers have been punished by the heavens. Great Yong will definitely win.”
Gu Yu and the others nodded. “That’s right! The noise last night was so loud that we all heard the sound of thunder in the inner city.”
“Mother, Mother.” Li Yu looked at Yangyang, who was shouting as he ran towards her. She picked him up and kissed his face. “Son, Mother is back.”
Yangyang hugged Li Yu’s neck and smiled at her. “Mother, I’m obedient. Father is also obedient. I’m going to tell Father that you’re home.”
“Alright.” Li Yu put down Yangyang and smiled as she touched Seven Pounds’s face. She looked at Little Loach and the others standing at the door. “Were you guys obedient at home?”
“They’re all obedient.” Seven Pounds held Li Yu’s hand and asked, “Madam, my father said that you went hunting. Where did you hunt your prey?”
Li Yu smiled dryly. “Prey! They’re all hiding when the weather gets cold. I didn’t find them. I’ll go when the weather gets warmer.”
“Sigh!” Seven Pounds sighed. “Madam, you shouldn’t go in the future! Last time, you went for so long and came back empty-handed. This time, it’s the same. I think the wild animals in the mountains are all hiding from you.”
Li Yu laughed when she heard that. “You’re so smart. Why didn’t I think of that! I knew it! Why didn’t I catch them after going a few times? So they were hiding from me and not letting me catch them!”
Xiaoyu looked at the laughing Li Yu and stroked Seven Pounds’s head. She chuckled and said, “This silly kid was asking his father last night if those wild animals were hiding from you. Otherwise, you would not have come back empty-handed a few times.”
At this moment, Yangyang ran back through the corridor alone. “Mother, the bailiff said that Father and Mr. Qian went out to busy themselves with official business. ”
Li Yu smiled and held his hand. “There’s a war outside. Father is busy with work! Go to class with your brothers. Mother will eat something, wash up, and sleep. Let’s wait for Father, okay?”
“Alright. Mother. rest well.” Vangvang kissed I and went to class with
Seven Pounds. At this moment, Old Madam Liu had also prepared food for Li
Zhou Jia brought Mr. Qian and Ji Xiang around the city and went to the city wall. He saw Chu Sihai and Ouyang Xiong standing on the city wall and looking at the Qi camp. When the two of them saw Zhou Jia, they welcomed him with a smile and bowed. “Lord Zhou, thank you, husband and wife. The provisions of the Qi army have been burned to ashes.”
Zhou Jia looked at the two of them in surprise. “There’s no need to be so polite. Have you succeeded? Is my wife back?”
“It was Madam Li who came back to inform us.” Chu Sihai smiled and said, “I happened to rush over to inform General Ouyang that the Qi army’s rations had been destroyed. ”
“Then shouldn’t we take this opportunity to catch them off guard?” Zhou Jia looked at Ouyang Xiong and said.
Ouyang Xiong smiled in high spirits. “That’s right. I heard from the secret guards that they’ve also kidnapped and killed the people who sent the news to the Qi army. The Qi army still doesn’t know the news. I’ll get someone to shout at the city tower and tell those Qi soldiers that the Qi army’s provisions have been destroyed. ”
“Alright.” Zhou Jia and Chu Sihai cupped their hands and smiled.
After Ouyang Xiong left with a smile, Chu Sihai walked to Zhou Jia’s side and said in a low voice, “Madam Li also brought back a secret letter written in code by the Qi people. I’ve already gotten someone to investigate the news of the code. I think it should be a confidential matter. That waist token is the waist token of the internal guards of Great Qi. There might be changes in Great Qi.”
Zhou Jia thought for a while and looked at Chu Sihai. “Head Shopkeeper, do you think there’s something wrong with the old emperor’s body?”
“Not long before the battle, the secret guard sent back news that the Great Qi emperor was obsessed with medicinal pills and even conferred a position to an expert to be the State Preceptor. Could it be that he had taken too many medicinal pills and was overworked?” Chu Sihai smiled wretchedly.
“It’s not a good sign for Great Qi that the emperor is obsessed with medicinal pills. It’s good news for us. After this battle, we should recuperate and prepare our troops to unify the world.” Ouyang Xiong’s voice suddenly sounded. Ouyang Xiong looked at the two of them with glowing eyes. “If there’s the Heaven Shaking Thunder from last night, we don’t have to worry about not being able to unify the world! I’ve already asked the military to find some Heaven Shaking Thunder to try and get them to try making the same Heaven Shaking Thunder from last night.”
Zhou Jia looked at Ouyang Xiong’s eyes and thought to himself that Yu’er was the wisest. That thing was too fascinating. General Ouyang wanted to make contributions. His Majesty wanted to expand his territory and unify the world. Seeing that the Qi army is about to be defeated, they could not leave traces of those things in the future to prevent misuse.
The war drums on the city wall suddenly sounded. Zhou Jia saw General Yun and a tall general riding out of the city with their horses. The war drums were thundering, but the Qi army did not move at all.
General Yun Can shouted, “General Yang, have the rations been burned? Do you not have the strength to come out and fight without food?” The soldiers behind continued to shout.
In Great Qi’s commander’s tent, an impatient general asked, “Great General, the supplies this morning have yet to be delivered. Have our provisions really been burned by Great Yong’s spies?
“Our General Yang has already sent scouts to investigate. There will be news tonight.” Crown Prince Qi looked at the soldiers and smiled.
Some soldiers lowered their heads and did not look at the Crown Prince, but some soldiers kept expressing goodwill to him. Yang Huaiyi looked at these coldly and said in a low voice, “The Great Yong soldiers outside are challenging us. Which soldier is willing to go forward and fight?”
After a moment of silence, a rough general stood up and cupped his fists in a rough manner. “I’m willing.”
Yang Huaiyi looked deeply at the generals and nodded. “Go!”
The rough general left the commander’s tent and took the mace from his personal guard. He mounted his horse and spurred his horse forward. Without a word, he raised the mace and smashed it down. With a clang, the tall and strong general beside him raised his crescent saber to parry the rough general’s mace. He swept the blade across the rough general’s face. On both sides, one was brave, and the other was skilled in martial arts. The two of them fought back and forth. After more than ten rounds, the rough man’s mace was sent flying by the crescent saber and he was beheaded by the horse.
“Great victory, great victory…” Thunderous cheers came from the city wall..
