Her brain was working rapidly as she recalled the countermeasures she had come up with that afternoon. She calmed herself down and asked calmly, "How did you break into the barbarian village? Has the rebellion been completely resolved? How do you deal with their leader? Escort him back to the capital?"

She planned to avoid other things by talking about serious matters.

Zong Shouyuan did not accept the challenge, but continued to look at her with burning eyes. After a long time, he suddenly raised his body and kissed her all over.

The little rabbit traveled a thousand miles to be eaten by the wolf, and was eaten until not even a bone was left. He had no time to cry.

It was not until noon the next day that Nian Tu got up with weak hands and feet.

Zong Shouyuan was standing by the bed, and when he heard the noise, he immediately went up to help her wash and dress. The maids' jobs were almost all taken away, and they watched helplessly as the general skillfully made a beautiful bun with his hands that were used to wielding swords and guns.

Just as they showed expressions of amazement, a huge wolf's head suddenly popped in from the door, scaring the little maids so much that they turned pale.

Wolf! Why is there a wolf? ? ! ! !

It was clearly a wild wolf. Every hair on its body was full of wildness and its bones were thick. Although it had not yet lost the appearance of a wolf cub, it was much larger than many adult wolves.

It had a small rabbit in its mouth, probably its food.

The maids trembled with fear, feeling sorry for the rabbit, but also fearing that they would be targeted by the wolf and bitten.

The little wolf with gray fur didn't even glance at them, and walked straight towards Nian Tu with agile and light steps. Under the nervous gaze of everyone, it came to Nian Tu's feet, fell to the ground with its belly turned out.

Many eyes were almost popped out of their sockets by this shocking scene.

Nian Tu looked down, curved his eyes and smiled, and stroked its fur twice with his bare feet, "Have you had enough of playing outside? Are you back?"

After all, it is a wild wolf cub. Although it is close to her, the wildness in its bones has never disappeared. Once it arrives in the wild, its blood awakens and it is extremely excited. It just settled down here yesterday. Seeing that it was not willing to stay still, Nian Tu simply let it go to the mountains to play by itself.

The wolf cub uttered a coquettish "meow" and put the rabbit in its mouth into her arms.

"A gift for me?" Nian Tu touched the rabbit to confirm it was still alive, then picked it up and looked around. The light yellow fur looked very familiar.

She was silent for a moment, shaking off the weird associations in her mind, and poked the wolf cub's head helplessly, "Why do you like catching rabbits so much?"

Even if he catches one, he won’t eat it, he will just lick it for fun, and he has a special liking for rabbits.

Zong Shouyuan took another look at this wolf cub who never listened to him, and suddenly felt that it looked quite like his own son.

He looked away and took the initiative to bring up Nian Tu's questions from last night, answering them one by one. "The barbarians were defeated this time because several spies put knockout drugs in the rice they brought over. Almost everyone who ate at the banquet lost the ability to resist and was captured by us."

"Mengcang and his father-in-law didn't eat the food they brought, so they didn't fall into the trap. We captured Mengcang, but the old man was cunning and escaped." Zong Shouyuan's eyes darkened. "Three thousand barbarians were captured this time. It sounds like a lot, but many people in the village also escaped during the chaos. Those barbarians are more familiar with Xiaguangling. If they gather together again and are ruled by that old guy, they will still be a disaster that must be eliminated."

There used to be more than 100,000 barbarians, but now only a few thousand people remain. Most of them have been killed or captured in the three-month campaign. In fact, the rebellion can be considered to have been quelled long ago. But he knew that if he did not completely wipe out this remaining force, the tragedy of Ningzhou Prefecture being invaded might still happen in the future.

"Wait until I capture Mengcang's father-in-law, and then escort them back to the capital together," Zong Shouyuan said in a deep voice.

Nian Tu lowered his eyes and understood the current situation.

But she didn't say anything, as if she didn't hear Zong Shouyuan's words. She just played with the wolf cubs and left the big gray wolf aside.

Zong Shouyuan: “…”

"Are you angry with me, Niannian?" He knew he was in the wrong, so he half-knelt down and fell on her knees in shame, "I was drunk last night, I..."

What are you drunk about?!

Nian Tu was both angry and amused. He stepped on his shoulder and said, "Stop talking."

Did you really think she didn't know how much he could drink? It was just that after being apart for so long, she didn't bother with him and just let him pretend to be drunk.

It seems that honest people are not so honest. When they go crazy under the influence of alcohol, they are more frightening than the vinegar jar in the palace.

"If you don't like it, I won't drink anymore from now on." The big-tailed wolf secretly glanced at Nian Tu's face, "If it happens again, you will kick me out."

Nian Tu was half-believing and half-doubting.

Did this guy know her temper for sure, thinking that she wouldn't say she didn't like him, and wouldn't be willing to kick him out?

Forget it...

Anyway, he was just a little greedy in this aspect, it was not a big problem. All the males in the family were like this, Gray Wolf was the most honest, and he often suffered losses, and he could not beat the clever little cat, so it would be okay for her to indulge him a little more.

Nian Tu relaxed his expression, snorted meaningfully, and let him figure it out himself.

Zong Shouyuan couldn't understand.

He was genuinely panicking, and was clumsily trying his best to coax people. If he could transform into an animal at this moment, his tail and ears would definitely be drooping.

The masters were having a conflict, and the little maids all watched in silence, not daring to say anything, yet unable to help peeking. They always felt that the general's humble and useless appearance was no different from the wolf next to him who was lying on his back and serving as a footstool for his lady.

As soon as they left their master's sight and went outside to the yard, they began to chatter and talk.

The great General Fuyuan is actually henpecked!

No wonder he has never had any beautiful women to serve him!

Aaron returned home exhausted from a long journey outside. When he passed by the group of maids, he heard them muttering something like "The general was just drunk, and the lady twisted his ears again. He knelt down and begged for mercy from the lady, and swore that he would never drink again."

Aaron: “…”

After a moment of silence, he shouted, "What about your rules for talking about your master behind his back?"

After scolding the gossipy maids until they could not even raise their heads, he left with his hands behind his back, but secretly cheered for his master in his heart.

Based on his understanding of his wife, she would not be angry about getting drunk at the celebration banquet. The master must have done something else excessive. And based on his understanding of his master's alcohol tolerance, the amount of wine at the celebration banquet would not make the master appear drunk.

...It seems that the master is pretending to be drunk and doing something bad.

Zong Shouyuan listened to Aaron's work report in the study, waved his hand to let him leave, and heard him cough lightly.

"Master, didn't you prepare a gift for Madam? Why don't you take it out to make Madam happy?"

Once the lady is happy, she will forgive the master's mistakes!

Gift?

Zong Shouyuan clenched the pen in his hand, his expression becoming slightly embarrassed.

He prepared a gift for Nian Nian, but now he doesn't dare to give it to her.
