If it snows, the road to there will be hard to pass.
"Wait until we reach the next town, let’s hire soone to help us drive the carriage?" Yang Chuxia lifted the curtain and said, it was really cold, and Ye Zi’an’s hands holding the reins were turning red from the cold.
Yang Chuxia was thinking that they should avoid getting sick again.
"It’s fine, I can drive myself."
"Hire soone to drive, getting sick later will be more trouble." Yang Chuxia muttered, "You’re not as young as you used to be. In your ti, you’re already middle-aged. You need to take care of your health."
Ye Zi’an smiled, "Don’t worry, my dear wife, even if I accompany you for another twenty years, it won’t be a problem."
"Twenty years is too short, you’ll have to stay with until we’re seventy or eighty together."
"Haha!" Ye Zi’an laughed heartily, "Alright, we have an agreent, we’ll grow old together like old spirits."
The horse carriage sped along the official road, with Ye Zi’an’s cheerful laughter occasionally interrupted by Yang Chuxia’s coquettish voice.
Traveling swiftly, they finally arrived at Shandong Prefecture City the day before the Lantern Festival.
They found an inn to stay for the night. After resting, Ye Zi’an went to find Yangyang, but unexpectedly got the news that Yangyang had led the troops to the coast, and from the prefecture city to the coast, it would take another three or four days by carriage.
"Are we still going to see our son?"
"Of course, why wouldn’t we go?" Yang Chuxia said, "Among our four children, I’m most worried about Yangyang."
So passing by here without seeing him would not bring peace of mind.
"Alright, we’ll go as you say."
The next day, the two of them continued to the coast, where Yangyang was stationed with his troops at a town called Qingdong, ten miles from the sea.
It was said that those pirates usually landed here.
Yang Chuxia always knew that Yangyang leading troops into battle was dangerous, but seeing it with her own eyes was sothing else.
Unexpectedly, just as she and Ye Zi’an arrived in Qingdong Town, they encountered the Great Zhou army fighting the pirates.
These pirates had clearly been planning for a long ti; they ca with a dozen ships, each carrying hundreds or even thousands of people.
Without thinking, Yang Chuxia went down to help.
However, being close to the sea, it wasn’t long before she noticed that the ships on the sea started catching fire one after another.
The blazing fire lit up the sea, turning it bright red and hot.
"Haha!" Yangyang’s carefree voice shouted, "A bunch of idiots, you thought you could surprise us, but didn’t expect us to burn your ships? This ti, none of you will return, you’ll all die on Great Zhou’s land. Brothers, kill them!!"
"Kill, kill!!"
The pirates panicked as soon as their ships were burned. Without their ships, how would they return to the island? If they couldn’t return to the island, no matter how many of them there were, they wouldn’t survive on Great Zhou’s land. The Great Zhou army would surely exterminate them.
They just wanted to co and loot, take won, they didn’t want to die here.
"Their retreat is cut off, brothers, let’s end them here, avenge the townsfolk who died in Qingdong Town!"
"Revenge! Revenge!"
"..."
Hearing the earth-shaking chants, Yang Chuxia felt the blood in her chest boiling, just wanting to kill, kill, kill, and slay these thieving scum!
Finally, the drums stopped, the ground stained with blood, bodies piled high, it was a terrifying sight.
"Burn all of these, and clean up the place afterward, so as not to scare any passersby." After it ended, Yangyang gave a command and ran straight towards the carriage.
