Ji Youyuan looked at her with so concern.
"Didn’t you learn a bit of dical skill from your second uncle?
Take your own pulse to see if there are symptoms of a cold. If there are, get soone to make a decoction of Tuberculosis Spirit for you to drink!"
As soon as Ji Youyuan said this, Xiaosuisui quickly covered her little mouth.
"No, no, no! I’m not catching a cold, I don’t want to take dicine!"
Then she grabbed a large chicken leg in each hand and dashed away.
This scene left Ji Youyuan and General Xu both dumbfounded, their mouths agape, their expressions utterly flabbergasted.
"That little girl, she runs pretty fast!"
Ji Youyuan shook his head helplessly, raised his wine glass and toasted General Xu.
"To the General!"
"To, to, to!"
After leaving the dining table, Ji Youyuan returned to his room, where the little girl was already sound asleep on the bed.
Ji Youyuan shook his head, chuckling, stepped forward to tuck her in, and sat by the bed waiting for the little girl to wake up.
Then they would set off.
In just over half a day, they would arrive.
He wondered how Ji Youze was faring at Xianyu Pass?
Would they be able to hold the fort in this battle?
He and the little girl needed half a day, but General Xu’s army needed more than three days!
"Mmm... Big Uncle! You finally finished drinking!"
Suisui woke up from her sleep and imdiately saw Ji Youyuan sitting by the bed.
The little girl happily jumped off the bed, quickly put on her shoes, and tidied herself up.
These days, the little girl had gotten used to Ji Youyuan’s unrelenting pace of travel.
So during the al just now, she ate quickly, ca over to rest, and waited for her big uncle to finish eating so they could hit the road directly.
"Big Uncle, let’s go! I’m ready."
As she spoke, she had already spread her little arms toward Ji Youyuan, asking for a hug.
Ji Youyuan reached out to hold her, patted her little head, smiled slightly, and said, "Hang in there a bit longer. When we reach Xianyu Pass, your big uncle will let you sleep to your heart’s content!"
Suisui nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay, Big Uncle, are you ready? We’re taking off!"
Ji Youyuan facepald helplessly. The little girl’s liking for taking off with "Feifei" was a good thing, but taking the Grand Master with her and announcing it beforehand was just...
In the end, he let the little girl lead the way as they flew towards Xianyu Pass.
On the walls of Xianyu Pass, Ji Youze and the fortress’s General Mu Yulin were covered in battle robes stained with blood, their helts filthy, and the broadswords in their hands nicked and dulled.
Below the walls, nurous enemy troops were gathered.
"Fortunately, we received His Majesty’s edict to dispatch troops in advance, and we also had your letter, Eighth Young Master, which allowed us to set up heavy chanisms on the walls. Later, Grand General Huo brought thirty thousand troops, giving us a total of fifty thousand soldiers, enabling us to fight this hard battle!"
Mu Yulin’s left hand clutched his right arm, where fresh blood was steadily seeping out.
Ji Youze, with a stoic face, looked ahead at the enemy below the walls, speaking to Mu Yulin in an emotionless voice.
"Go get bandaged first.
Prepare to fend off their third assault of the day!"
"What?
They’re attacking again today?
They’ve already assaulted twice today, haven’t they always retreated after two failed attempts lately?"
Mu Yulin exclaid in disbelief.
He thought that, like usual, if they could just withstand this second assault, they could sleep peacefully tonight.
