All Hail Cousin Brother

In the camp, Yu Youyao's crisp smile could be heard from time to time. Unknowingly, the bottom of the cup of medicinal porridge was gone, and half of the dried mushroom soup was also consumed.

Yu Youyao couldn't eat anymore, so Yin Huaixi took a piece of Qingjin fruit preserves and stuffed it into Yu Youyao's mouth. Her eyes lit up when he saw her, and the corners of his lips could not help but curve.

"I'm fine." Yu Youyao said firmly.

After working hard all day, I'm afraid even the bones will fall apart. How can I just eat a little and be fine? The silly girl was clearly trying to comfort him.

Yin Huaixi smiled: "Let Chunxiao massage you with anointing oil before you sleep."

"Okay." Yu Youyao nodded.

After Yin Huaixi left, Chunxiao entered the tent with hot water.

In the wilderness, the conditions were simple and it was good to have a basin of hot water. Yu Youyao was not picky. She washed herself briefly and asked Chunxiao to use ointment to massage her bones. She felt so sore and painful that she almost gave up. Yu Youyao died on the spot.

Fortunately, the ointment was very effective. After the massage, I sweated for a while, but became much more relaxed and comfortable. The soothing medicinal porridge had an effect. Thick fatigue, mixed with sweeping drowsiness, came to my eyelids. Yu Youyao I fell asleep before I knew it.

The curtain of the tent was lifted, and Yin Huaixi was finally worried.

Seeing her lying on the couch, hugging the quilt, she had already fallen asleep. There were still traces of tears on her plain face, and her eyelids were still swollen. Even when she was asleep, her eyebrows were slightly twisted.

With a slight twitch in his heart, Yin Huaixi bent down to tuck the corners of the quilt for her, then took off his cloak and put it on the quilt.

He reached out and caressed her forehead, looked down at her sleeping face for a while, and then quietly left the tent after a while.

Chunxiao stays out of revenue.

Yin Huaixi lowered his voice and explained: "Light the soothing incense in the house. It's very cold at night in the wilderness. Don't burn out the small stove in the tent. Mrs. Tang has to change it every hour, both hands and feet. It's hard to travel these days." , you should pay more attention, if she feels uncomfortable in any way, come over and report it, don’t let her have her way."

Yu Youyao had learned to be patient since she was a child, no matter how little she had done before, but after a day's journey, she gritted her teeth and endured it. Even in front of him, she didn't say a word about pain or tiredness.

Chunxiao quickly agreed.

In the middle of the night, Yu Youyao was awakened by the sound of wild beasts.

Chunxiao said quickly: "Miss, don't be afraid. People are afraid of wild beasts, and wild beasts are also afraid of humans. There are more than a thousand people in our group. Wild beasts also seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. The howling is just to scare you. You can sleep a little longer."

Yu Youyao nodded with a pale face.

But I couldn't sleep no matter what.

At this time, Yin Huaixi opened the curtain and came in.

A gust of cold wind rushed in, and Yu Youyao huddled in the bed, shivering, feeling cold all over.

"Don't be afraid," Yin Huaixi whispered: "The beast will not come down the mountain, so sleep a little longer."

The screams of wild beasts came one after another, which was very scary. Even though he knew that the beast would not go down the mountain, he still felt scared in his heart. Yu Youyao's hand stretched out from the bed and hooked his finger: "I'm not afraid now."

Yin Huaixi frowned, pulled the quilt, and covered her hand: "Why are your hands so cold? Is it not warm inside the quilt?"

Yu Youyao shook her head: "Tang Pozi is still hot. Have you been staying outside the tent? I'm fine. It's just my first time camping in the wild, so I'm a little unaccustomed to it."

It was because she had not slept peacefully. After being awakened by the cry of wild beasts, she tossed and turned on the bed, and the heat in the quilt dissipated with just a toss.

"Go to sleep. When you fall asleep, I will go to rest." Yin Huaixi said softly.

Yu Youyao quickly closed her eyes and kept her hook on him. It was probably because the scent of the soothing incense in the room was too strong, making her eyelids dizzy. After a while, she couldn't bear the fatigue and fell asleep again.

Before dawn, Chunxiao woke up Yu Youyao and massaged her body bones with ointment. Her body was still sore, but it was not as uncomfortable as yesterday.

After briefly freshening up, Xia Tao entered the tent with a food tray, a bowl of rock sugar and white fungus soup, two steamed buns, and a boiled egg.

"The steamed buns were baked by His Highness himself. His Highness said that if you eat liquid food while traveling during the day, you will get hungry easily and your body will not be able to bear it anymore. You need to eat something filling."

Although the food is a bit simple, the steamed buns are baked to a crispy texture, and the grilled mushrooms inside are juicy and tender. They taste delicious and not greasy. The white fungus stewed in rock sugar is soft and full of gelatin. Sweet and refreshing.

Dawn is approaching, and the sky and earth are still pitch black. On the eastern horizon, a bright and dazzling morning star shines in the sky. Under the guidance of the morning star, the army leads the way to the light.

Three days later in the evening, the army finally arrived at Jinzhou City.

Yu Youyao lifted the car curtains, and the towering city walls, mottled by the flames of war, looked tall and formidable, with an inviolable sanctity and vicissitudes of life.

Jinzhou has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. It is the most powerful barrier to resist foreign invasion and protect the rule of the Han people. There are countless battles, large and small, that have taken place in this city-state.

At this time, Jinzhou was under full martial law.

The city gates were closed, and the number of troops guarding the city on the city tower was three times greater than before. The sentry towers and arrow towers on the city wall were all guarded by specialized personnel.

Almost all birds flying over this sky were shot by the long-range archers who were on guard duty. If one arrow missed, another sentry tower would release an arrow to make up for it as soon as possible.

Large arrows are also placed in the arrow towers. This kind of arrow requires the cooperation of many people to pull it. It has a farther range than a bow and arrow, and is more powerful than a bow and arrow. It can fire more than a dozen arrows in a row.

In the battle to defend the city, more than a dozen jigs and soldiers defending the city fired arrows at the same time. Hundreds of arrows could be fired in an instant, forming a short rain of arrows. While shooting at the enemy intensively, they could also interfere with the enemy. The offensive trend took full advantage.

"Open the door!" Following Yin Huaixi's command, the huge lacquered iron door made a thunderous roar and then slowly opened.

The troops marched through the streets, and wherever they went, the people retreated and cheered.

To Yu Youyao's expectation, Jinzhou City, as a border fortress, was not as desolate as imagined. The shops were open for business, and people were coming and going around. It seemed leisurely and calm, and it was a lively scene.

The upcoming war does not seem to have any impact on the people of Jinzhou.

Yu Youyao was very confused.

Her doubts were quickly answered for her.

"King Wu Mu has led his army to Jinzhou. Is there going to be a war in the north? What should we do?"

"There is a high probability of a major war. The people near Fuxin City have begun to move to Jinzhou in batches. There have been many more people in the city recently."

"Wars are going on everywhere, and I don't know when it will end these days."

"I would rather be a peace dog than a man in troubled times."
