Skillful Wife of Military - C27

The threat of death had always been hanging above everyone’s head like a sharp blade.

The war was about to start. They had been training very hard these days. The orders from the higher-ups were to be ready to join the war at any time. As long as they gave the order, they would immediately set off!

I heard that this time command is determined to beat the barbarians back to their lair in one go, so that they won’t dare to move again in the future. This way, they can preserve the peace and tranquility of Ming Province’s Guest House s for a few years!

This kind of war was fought with the lives of soldiers. The vanguard camp had participated in so many big and small battles, and had done countless meritorious deeds.

Before every war, everyone was worried. Xiao Da Yong and the other veterans had experienced a lot, so the pressure wasn’t that great, but people like Gou Sheng who had only joined the vanguard camp for less than half a year and had not been through a war before. To them who were only seventeen years old, the pressure was extremely huge!

Hearing Gou Sheng’s words, Xiao Da Yong slowly loosened his arm, looked at Gou Sheng, and said solemnly: “As long as you come back alive, I will bring you to my house and have your sister-in-law personally make you delicious food!”

“Really? Dahuang-ge, you didn’t coax me? ”

“Why would I coax you? Do as you say! ”

“Then I’ll definitely come back alive and eat delicious food cooked by sister-in-law!”

“Since you have to live, you have to kill the barbarians. You have to be a coward and keep your life. That won’t do!”

“Dahuang-ge, I am not a coward. Just you wait and see me kill the barbarians and take revenge for my father!” Gou Sheng stuck out his chest with a determined look in his eyes. His father was also a Military, and he had been killed by a barbarian on the battlefield.

Looking at Gou Sheng who had a determined look on his face, Xiao Da Yong patted him on the shoulder and said loudly: “Gou Sheng is right, let’s kill the barbarian together and take revenge!”

“Revenge!”

“Revenge!”

“Well said, brothers. The barbarians have committed all sorts of crimes. This time, we will take them back to their lair and avenge them!” Lin Dingbei who had just walked in could not help but to say loudly when he heard everyone’s shouts.

“Revenge!” Revenge! “Revenge!” Hearing Lin Dingbei’s words, everyone started to shout.

Lin Dingbei waved his hand, signalling for everyone to listen quietly: “Brothers, we have just received the order, tomorrow morning, the horn sounds, the army will depart immediately, and our vanguard camp will depart tonight. We will go over Black Python Mountain, and ambush at the mountain top of the road to cut off the Barbarian’s grain route!”

The topography of Black Python Mountain was complicated, especially there was a section of road in the middle of the cliff, if he was not careful and fell off the cliff, he would be smashed into smithereens. There, he had lost his best brother!

Not only Xiao Da Yong, even the vanguard camp Captain Chang Danian who led his team to cross the Black Python Mountain had a heavy expression. It seems that they are part of a surprise attack team, no wonder they trained Flying Tiger Claw these few days.

Lin Dingbei looked at the crowd, and the new recruits all had a heavy expression on their faces. Smiling faintly, they clapped their hands, and two personal guards walked in holding several steel bludgeon made of zigzag hoops. Chang Danian’s reaction was the fastest, and he cried out: “Three-eyed Rod!”

Xiao Da Yong was shocked and quickly looked over. It really was the Triple-Eyed Race!

Lin Dingbei looked at the crowd and said loudly: “Yes, this is the Three-eyed General, the one personally bestowed by the command to us, the leader and the sergeants. Each of us has one each, and we have two hundred lead (bullets), four kilograms of gunpowder, and three fire ropes! Not only that, in order to fight against the Barbarian Child, the command even brought back five cannons, all for the sake of attacking the Kepin and sending the Barbarian Child back to his lair! ”

The crowd burst into an uproar!

Which soldier had not heard of the famous Three-Eye Race and the Tiger Squad Cannon? The moment the Tiger Squad Cannon fired hundreds of small bullets, it would be able to create a large empty field in the midst of the enemy troops.

There had been these since the founding of the Qi dynasty, but they were always the equipment of the southern army. The northern army rarely had any equipment, and the vanguard camp only had young officers such as Chang Chang Da Yong to learn how to use these things, many of whom had never seen them before. It seemed that the command had really put in a lot of effort this time. With these divine weapons, they wouldn’t have to worry about not defeating the barbarians!

Lin Dingbei looked at the expressions of the people and said loudly: “Brothers, with this godly weapon, our army will definitely win! It’s time for us to kill our enemies and reap the rewards! ”

“Victory!” Victory! We have to win! ”

Everyone was shouting and cheering. Even Xiao Da Yong, who could not bear to part with Xu Hui and Niu Niu, could not help but feel her blood boil. She wanted to grab the Three-eyed Sword and charge forward to kill the barbarian for it!

Lin Dingbei also said some encouraging words, telling everyone to be prepared to leave immediately after midnight.

It was late at night, but no one was sleepy. Xiao Dazong lay on the brick bed, placing Xu Hui’s shoes beside the pillow. He touched the letter stuffed into his chest and could not help but open it again. Even though he couldn’t see it, Xiao Dayong clearly remembered the contents of the letter: Everything is fine at home. Do not forget to take care of yourself. Wait for your return!

These days, whenever he had the time, he would hug the book his father-in-law had given him. He could recognize all the words his wife had written. She was waiting for him to return home. When he thought about his silly look on bridal chamber night, Xiao Da Yong’s ears started to feel a bit hot. Fortunately, his wife was still young and he didn’t know what it meant for him to properly teach his wife what a real husband and wife was.

When it was time, the soldiers of the vanguard camp changed into black clothes, equipped their weapons and quietly left the camp, rushing towards the Black Python Mountain!

As usual, Xu Hui woke up early to wash up and was busy cooking some rice and rice for breakfast. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a horn coming from afar and her heart started racing. Could it be that the war had started?

Soon, Xu Hui learned from the people around him that the battle had indeed started! The command had ordered the entire army of the Guest House to attack the barbarians!

Xu Hui, who had never experienced war before, could not help but turn pale when she thought of the battlefield less than a hundred miles away from him. After having breakfast with Niu Niu, she quickly dragged her to Aunt Wei’s house.

Seeing Xu Hui’s face pale from fear, Aunt Wei could not bear it anymore and advised: “Dazong’s daughter-in-law, don’t be afraid. We came here like this, to eat military rations, you must relax your mind and leave it to the heavens!” Aunt Wei’s man was also Military and he was currently on the battlefield. She had just gotten married a year ago and knew that her man was at war, so she was so scared that she couldn’t sleep the whole night.

However, her fortune telling was good. She had children and girls, and her in-laws were all easy to get along with, unlike the Dazong’s daughter-in-law. Not long after she got married, her in-laws were still the same as before.

Xu Hui asked worriedly, “Aunt, you said you won’t hit us here, right?”

When Aunt Wei heard this, she sympathized even more with Xu Hui and said, “Don’t let your imagination run wild. We won’t easily call our way here. Even if we do, we’ll hurry up and pack up and run up the mountain. “I don’t know how many times I’ve gone to the mountain to hide, but she’s still alive and well. Don’t be afraid, she’s always scaring herself!”

Hearing Aunt Wei’s words, Xu Hui calmed down a little. Aunt Wei smiled and said, “I cut the last of the leeks today and made dumplings for dinner. You and Niu Niu can’t go back. Eat dumplings at my house!”

“No, let’s go back and eat. There’s no need to trouble aunty!” Xu Hui pulled up Niuniu and said, “When Uncle Wei comes back, aunty should remember to call me so that I can send the weaved cloth over!”

“Good, good, you really are skillful. That cloth is so beautiful. With this skill, you really aren’t afraid of anything!” Aunt Wei smiled as she agreed. When she thought about Xu Hui’s knitting skills, even if Da Yong was really lucky, she wouldn’t feel so bad in her days. Earlier, she didn’t dare to say that her man was in Camp, which was not the same thing as a vanguard camp like Xiao Da Yong!

Xu Hui forced a smile and pulled Niuniu home.

Niuniu watched Xu Hui’s expression all the way. When she got home, only she and her sister-in-law were there. She suddenly said to Xu Hui, “Sister-in-law, don’t be afraid!”

Xu Hui looked at Niu Niu in shock. Niu Niu looked up at Xu Hui and said, “I’m here!”

Xu Hui laughed and pinched Niu Niu’s face. “Sister, you don’t have to worry. Niu Niu will learn weaving from sister-in-law when she grows up. Do you want to earn money?”

Niuniu shook her head and Xu Hui asked curiously, “What’s wrong?” “Why not?”

What? Xu Hui blinked in shock. What was this child thinking?

Was his performance too weak to allow a child to have such desire to protect him?

Xu Hui felt a little humiliated. She thought about how Auntie Wei, the men were at war and they cut leek and dumplings, yet she was so scared and made the children want to protect him. Seriously!

She did not know what would happen if she fought. It was like Aunt Wei had said, she would at most hide in the mountains if she fought. Xu Hui told herself not to think too much about what to do with food and sleep.

However, he did not know how things were at home. Logically speaking, that place should be the Guest House, and should be safer than the Xiao Jia Village.

After a few days, Aunt Wei’s brother, Uncle Wei, came over. Xu Hui asked him to sell two pieces of cloth to the village. Uncle Wei looked at Xu Hui’s woven cloth and said that he was willing to buy Xu Hui’s woven cloth at the same price as the village’s.

Hearing this, Xu Hui was not displeased. Her denim was fine and smooth, which meant that it could be sold more than the ordinary denim of the village. Since Uncle Wei wanted to resell it to earn more money, Xu Hui naturally knew.

However, no matter if it was out of safety or to prevent the Xiao family from investigating, she couldn’t sell her own cloth in the town. However, regardless of she was out of security or to prevent the Xiao family from investigating, she couldn’t sell her own cloth in the town. As for whether Uncle Wei would sell it to the village or directly to the county, that had nothing to do with Xu Hui. If they worked together, it would be called working together.

Both Uncle Wei and Aunt Wei were very happy. Xu Hui was also very happy in her heart as she thought that Xu Hui had earned a net profit of two or three taels of silver from these two pieces of denim. Adding in the three taels of silver from the Wang family, Xu Hui already had two or six taels of silver in her savings!

Although there was not much money, there would always be a day when he would have more. With the silver in his hands, Xu Hui felt at ease. He was no longer so flustered that he couldn’t calm his mind at all. The days had changed to be the same as before, but at the same time, there was something different about it.
