Chapter 204 Dalong Prefecture Twelve

204 Dalong Prefecture Twelve

The four women, including Jie Yanyan, were pleasantly surprised and excited after listening to the conversation.

They also took the opportunity to introduce the Battle of Wanzhou, which greatly surprised Yun Qing, Yun Su, and the other two women.

Time flew by, and the sound of carriages came from afar. From the direction of Dalong Prefecture, a group of carriages also arrived quickly, with an estimated number of carriages.

Following in front was the adjutant from before, now covered in dust, hurrying to catch up as well.

Yun Qing stepped forward to express her gratitude, and then the group began arranging for the carriages to travel to the encampment.

Along the way, we gradually became familiar with each other!

With so many carriages, the procession became much easier and proceeded in an orderly fashion towards the border.

As night fell, various kinds of meat were served on the table. The women had all washed up, and the table was laden with delicacies: roast lamb, roast chicken, roast duck, river shrimp, a turtle the size of a washbasin, a three-foot-long bluefish, noodles, and wontons.

Two large tables were set up, and people were gathered around them. Wen'er hadn't rested yet and was extremely happy today.

At this moment, everyone was eating together, and naturally, various kinds of meat were being fed to them. After the meal, the moon was high in the sky, large and round, and the market was already dotted with stars.

Many people, taking advantage of the light, do things, creating a lively atmosphere, and some snacks are gradually becoming popular at night.

Wes had already led his team to survey the area. The higher the city wall, the stronger the sense of security. It felt like a small world, and at this moment it seemed to offer a unique sense of security.

Jin Luo and Jin Feng are still helping with the supplies for the resettlement team. Old Weng is currently leading a large group of people, busily organizing various items.

The news spread quickly. In a family of six, four of them had just finished their simple dinner: steamed buns, porridge, some vegetables, and an egg for the child.

The other two have not yet returned.

The young man, shirtless and with a mysterious look on his face, said, "I heard that troops will be stationed here tomorrow, and they're already on their way."

The old man was washing clothes at the moment and replied, "Yes, the news has spread. Today, Old Master Weng is bringing a group of people to make arrangements."

In the morning, hearing that they were short-handed, my wife and I went to help out, saying we'd get two meals and some extra pay.

The young man nodded and said, "Yes, many people who had free time or weren't busy went to help today. There were so many things to set up. It was incredibly busy."

I'll go check on them later and pick them up while I'm at it.

The young man, with his dark arms, looked at the children at home while also gazing outside. They were talking about school; since starting school, the two children had been getting along quite well.

I changed into a short jacket and was just about to go out to meet someone when I heard a lot of footsteps in the distance. The people who had gone to help were all returning in groups.

In addition, two police officers followed behind, carrying torches and with knives at their waists, to prevent any accidents.

They were all carrying something in their hands, wrapped in a large vegetable leaf. The young man quickly stepped forward, and he wasn't the only one.

People living nearby, including the elderly and children, all ran to their homes and stood at their doorways, waiting anxiously for their families to return.

The crowd thinned out. Soon, familiar figures appeared—two women, one older and one younger, walking at roughly the same pace—approaching this direction.

The young man saw the person and was just about to run over when his two sons rushed ahead, shouting, "Mother! Mother! Grandma! Grandma!"

Mother and grandmother, each holding one of my hands affectionately, walked this way together. He was wrapping something in a leaf.

Upon arriving home, the child's mother unwrapped the vegetable leaf wrapping and found four large baked buns, each about the size of a bowl. She took one out, gently broke it open, and the aroma of sesame seeds instantly filled the air.

The two children, their mouths watering, stared intently at the camera.

The children's mother smiled and divided the food between the two children.

At this time, the child's grandmother, with slightly graying hair, was dressed in coarse linen, which, though somewhat old, had been washed clean.

He opened the package in his hand, took out a package, and handed it to the child's grandfather. The grandfather waved his hand.

The child's grandmother looked a little tired. But she said happily, "I went to help out at the farm today and they gave me a lot of money. When I came back, they gave everyone four big flatbreads, two with meat filling and two with sesame filling."

After saying that, he stuffed the flatbread in his hand into the old man's mouth, and then took two more and gave them to his son and daughter-in-law.

Outside, the moonlight was as gentle and tranquil as water. Inside the city, there were scattered firelights, the bright moon hung high, and the moonlight shone through the window lattice into the room.

Just like this restaurant, the aroma of sesame and the subtle scent of meat wafted through the air at night, instantly whetting one's appetite.

The whispers carried gently on the wind: "Old Man Ming said he hopes to help out for another day. We'll get up early tomorrow, so you should all go to bed early too."

I heard they might need long-term staff later on. If possible, it would be even better if my daughter-in-law could stay there.

The night was deep, and none of them were asleep. It was such a beautiful night, and it was rare to find such peace and quiet.

A whooshing sound came from the wind as a black beast soared through the air at incredible speed.

Approaching swiftly from afar, two imposing figures atop the strange beast were heading this way.

He Chen's eyes narrowed, and he said softly, "You all go and rest first, I'll go take a look." Then, he soared into the air, covering a thousand feet in a single step, and instantly arrived at the top of the sky.

The others were puzzled, but Wei Qinghui and Piaomiaoyue exchanged glances. They then arranged for everyone to rest.

In the sky, the figure grew larger and larger. Its wings were like clouds hanging from the sky, their length seemingly obscuring the sun. The enormous wings were a full thirty zhang long.

High in the sky, it resembled a giant sailboat sailing on the sea, unaffected by the winds from any direction.

A high-pitched and resounding sound pierced the sky. Even the dark clouds were afraid of it, scattering in all directions. The sound was like an enormous firecracker, exploding loudly in your ears.

There was no kindness in his voice. Only a simple probe.

Standing tall and imposing like a mountain, it remained unmoved despite the explosions around it. Its eyes were fixed on the figure behind it.

The enormous bird was incredibly swift and sharp at this moment, with a pair of intelligent eyes that suggested it possessed considerable intelligence.

It swooped down, its body rapidly shrinking. In the blink of an eye, it grew to about ten feet tall, like a human, and stood in the air.

Two people followed behind, also descending from above. They stood suspended in mid-air, dressed entirely in black, cinched at the waist with a black belt, their figures tall and slender, their curves exquisite, and their heads veiled in black.
