At the beginning, the little koi carp was grabbed by a wolf and became the favorite of the beasts.

Two days later, the army returned triumphantly.

In front of the city gate, civil and military officials were waiting there early, and both sides of the road were filled with onlookers, making it a bustling scene.

The Zheng family also squeezed into the crowd to join in the fun.

At this time, Jinbao and Yuyan stood at the front, and Xiaowu protected them behind them, fearing that someone would squeeze them.

Seeing this, Xiaoxiang pushed him to Yuyan's side and said, "Uncle, you should protect Aunt. Leave my sister to us."

As he said this, he took his place and stood behind Jinbao.

The other brothers were not to be outdone and gathered around Jinbao, pushing Xiaowu and Yuyan aside.

Xiao Wu smiled helplessly and did not refute. He carefully protected Yu Yan behind him and did not dare to get too close.

After all, they haven't gotten married yet, and they can't be seen too close in public, otherwise it will be bad for Yu Yan's reputation.

Yu Yan noticed his thoughtfulness and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. Then she took something out of her sleeve and quietly put it into his palm.

Xiaowu looked down in surprise and found an extra piece of candy in his palm.

He had eaten this kind of candy before. It was very sweet. It was given to him by his sister. Now it was given to him by his sweetheart. Before he even put it in his mouth, he already felt sweet in his heart, sweeter than honey.

Jinbao was surrounded tightly by his brother, and no interaction between the two was seen.

"what……"

Suddenly, I heard a scream from behind me. I turned around and saw that a thin man was pushed down and fell to the ground.

"Brother, please help lift him up." Jinbao tugged at Xiaoxiang's sleeve and whispered.

Xiaoxiang bent down and pulled the man up from the ground without saying a word.

After the man stood up, he looked up at him, said "thank you", and then quickly lowered his head.

The moment he looked up, Jinbao saw his face clearly and his mouth opened slightly in surprise. This man was so handsome.

His face was as rosy as a peach, his skin was whiter than snow, his almond eyes were filled with tears, and his small cherry lips were naturally rosy. One glance at him would make you unforgettable.

Too pretty to be a man's.

Xiaoxiang didn't care about his appearance, but only noticed that there were tears in his eyes. Thinking that he was hurt from the fall, he frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to him.

"Are you OK?"

He had prepared this handkerchief for his sister, and now he was somewhat reluctant to give it to a strange man.

The man seemed to be surprised that he would give him a handkerchief. He was stunned for a moment before taking it. Then he whispered, "I'm fine, thank you."

Because he lowered his head, I couldn't see his expression, but Jinbao had sharp eyes and could still tell from his two rosy ears that he was shy.

After taking a closer look, she noticed something unusual: this person had pierced ears. She was not a man, but a woman!

No wonder she is so beautiful, she is indeed a girl.

Jinbao had a meaningful smile on his face, his eyes moving back and forth between her and his elder brother, feeling that another happy event was about to happen.

Xiaoxiang was a little confused by her look, so he touched his face and asked, "Sister, is there something dirty on my face?"

He remembered to wash his face before going out.

Jinbao smiled and shook his head, whispering: "Brother, there is no dirt on your face, there is peach blossom."

It seems that she will have a sister-in-law soon.

Xiaoxiang was even more confused. Peach blossoms? Where did the peach blossoms come from? Are there still peach blossoms in this season?

Jinbao did not explain, but kept observing the future sister-in-law who was disguised as a man.

Her clothes look ordinary, but if you look closely, you can find that the fabric of the clothes is high-quality brocade, which is not something ordinary people can afford.

Anyone who can afford to wear Yunjin must be either rich or noble. I wonder which rich girl from which family has secretly come out to play.

The more Jinbao looked at her, the more he liked her. In his heart, he had already marked her as his sister-in-law. If he could marry such a beautiful person and see her every day, he would definitely be very happy.

The next moment, two strangers suddenly appeared and protected the "man". They seemed to be the family guards.

Seeing that the three were about to leave, Jinbao hurriedly squeezed in front of her and asked, "Little brother, what's your name?"

The man was stunned when he heard this. Seeing that the person asking her was a well-behaved and pretty girl, he thought for a while before responding, "My name is Luo Menglong. I don't know your name."

Lu Menglong? It was obviously a fake name, Jinbao was a little disappointed.

"My name is Zheng Jinli, and the person who helped you up just now is my brother, Zheng Jinxiang."

It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t want to reveal her real name, she can just give her own name and her brother’s name.

When Luo Menglong heard her name, he froze for a moment, then looked up in shock and looked at her carefully, his eyes a little warm.

Xiaoxiang noticed that her eyes were too hot and was very displeased. He took a step forward and squeezed between the two of them to block her view.

It was obvious that she treated the 'man' as a pig that wanted to eat her own cabbage.

He never imagined that he was the pig.

Luo Menglong was watching Jinbao intently when suddenly a handsome face enlarged in front of her, scaring her so much that she stepped back slightly.

In an instant, her pretty face turned red. She was afraid of being discovered, so she quickly lowered her head to cover it up.

"I still have some things to deal with, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying this, he left quickly with his guards without waiting for Jinbao's response.

Jinbao was speechless looking at Xiaoxiang who was standing in front of her. She had finally managed to talk to her future sister-in-law, but unexpectedly, she was suddenly interrupted by her own elder brother.

She clenched her fist in dissatisfaction, punched Xiaoxiang, and complained, "Brother, you won't be able to find a wife if you keep doing this."

Xiaoxiang smiled dotingly, stretched out his hand and patted her head twice, "You, big brother doesn't need you to worry about it, remember not to talk to strange men in the future."

He doesn't care whether he can get a wife or not, as long as his little sister doesn't get cheated by a big pig's hoof.

Seeing that he did not recognize Lu Menglong's true identity, Jin Bao was about to explain when he was interrupted by sudden cheers.

"They're back! The army is back!"

As cheers rang out, everyone's eyes turned to the direction where the army was returning.

Looking at those soldiers wearing armor and looking dusty, everyone felt a sense of bitterness in their hearts, with gratitude and heartache.

"After years of hard fighting, the army finally returns triumphantly!"

"Thank you for your hard work, soldiers!"

"The general is mighty!"

"Thank you for defending our country!"

……

Voices of concern and praise are heard everywhere.

As the army got closer, the onlookers took out the food and clothes they had prepared long ago and stuffed them into the soldiers behind.

The generals were all riding on horses, so they had no way to block the passage even if they wanted to. Besides, the emperor would reward them when the army returned victoriously.

The soldiers were infected by the enthusiasm and admiration of the people. Their hearts were filled with warmth, their fatigue was swept away, and smiles appeared on everyone's face.
