The insects in the autumn seemed to be having their last carnival, and the two brothers of the Yan family returned to their new house under the moonlight.

Xiao Yuer had already fallen asleep by now, but everyone else in the family was sitting in the main room waiting for news.

The old couple of the Yan family were a little worried, but Chu Xiao joked that bandits were nothing to be afraid of, and their home was not far from the Beishan mansion, so if bandits came, they would go for help.

If you feel that this is still unsafe, then our whole family can go and stay at the Beishan mansion. Given his relationship with Marquis Zunyuan, there will be no problem staying there.

It has to be said that Chu Xiao was also worried at this time, not because of himself. After all, they were just a group of bandits. With his current mental strength, he would not necessarily be at a disadvantage if he really took action.

But among the people in the family now, except Qiao Qingyun, I'm afraid no one can withstand those men who kill without blinking an eye.

If possible, we should send people to a safer place, but where can be considered safe now? It can really be said that there is no other choice except Beishan Mansion.

However, Zhao Guizhi did not dare to trouble Marquis Zunyuan, even though Bai Hao had been very polite when he came before, he was a general and a marquis after all.

It's nothing if you don't know his identity, but once you know it, you'll tremble in your heart just thinking about such a big shot.

Especially every time Chu Xiao and his eldest brother went to the Beishan mansion, she was always nervous, afraid that the two of them would say something wrong or do something wrong and offend someone.

But she couldn't open her mouth to stop him. After all, it was a great honor for ordinary people like them to be able to talk to the Marquis, so how could they dare to deliberately distance themselves from him?

Zhao Guizhi also had to admit that his brother Xiao was really brave and was able to get so many things back from Marquis Zunyuan.

If it were her, she would probably be so panicked that she would be speechless when she saw people. As Xiao Ge'er's family member, she couldn't go there and embarrass herself. If Marquis Zunyuan knew that his family was so useless, wouldn't he look down on Xiao Ge'er?

Their family would not think of marrying up to someone higher than them, and naturally they don't want to be looked down upon.

If you can interact with each other on an equal footing, then have more interactions. If not, just treat it as knowing the person, don't flatter or offend, and just stay away from him.

The two brothers of the Yan family walked into the yard. Yan Zhennan ran to Qiao Qingyun in a hurry and gave him a big hug without saying a word: "Ayun, did you miss me?"

Qiao Qingyun had been very tired of being tormented by Yan Zhennan in recent days. Now, he had to listen to his family chatting while listening to Yan Zhenbei reciting lessons. Even though he knew that there were bandits, he still felt at ease. After all, having family around always made people relax.

I was feeling a little tired and just wanted to close my eyes and rest for a while, but I didn't expect that I was so drowsy that I almost fell asleep.

Yan Zhennan's noisy movements scared away the sleepiness completely. He no longer felt sleepy at all. All that was left was helplessness.

"You've only been out for more than three hours." Qiao Qingyun could calculate the time since he left the house. They were called away after noon, and now it was only after the hour of Xu and not long had passed.

It is autumn now and the days have become shorter. If it were summer, it would probably be dark by now.

"Three hours is not long. You don't know that the villagers have no clue when discussing things. They talk about this and that. I feel like I am almost standing like a wooden stake, but in the end, there is still no result."

What Yan Zhennan said was really true. He was such a talkative person, but he was warned by Ayun and his mother before he left the house.

He really didn't say a word. Even when the villagers were arguing, he thought of countless rebuttals in his mind, but he just muttered to himself and didn't participate.

After all, his son Ayun is a very smart person, and everything he says always makes sense.

You see, the purpose of these villagers' bizarre ideas is, in the final analysis, to prevent themselves and their families from facing danger later.

Those at the entrance of the village disagreed with filling the pits, while those at the south of the village said that patrols must be increased there, and traps must be dug near the bamboo forest.

The households in the west of the village had no objections. After all, Xiangyangpo was the resting place of their ancestors. As long as those bandits still had some sense of ghosts and gods, it would be impossible for them to pass by their ancestors and kill their descendants.

And the village north...

Oh, the north of the village refers to their home. Although they brothers didn't have much to say, people living in the north of the village still felt unsafe. They said that after all the traps in the south were dug, they had to dig in the north as well.

But the south side is blocked by bamboo forests, and there are not many places accessible. It should be impossible to dig many traps. But look at the north mountain.

It can be said that there are roads everywhere and people can pass everywhere. Let alone a hundred bandits, even if there are twice as many, as long as they don't avoid the trees, there should be enough space for them to stand shoulder to shoulder in a row.

So when asked where Beishan was going to dig the trap, no one answered. It was impossible to dig all the way through the foot of the mountain which stretched for several miles, right?

"It would be great if you could go too, Ah Yun. Why would it take so long? With your abilities, you will definitely be able to control the world and let them know what a talented person is."

Qiao Qingyun just smiled without saying anything, and glanced outside. He didn't dare to say what would happen, but he was sure that Lei Huo would not just watch the village suffer and do nothing.

General Zunyuan Hou, it is hard for Qiao Qingyun to say how kind this man is, but compared to those eunuchs' children who treat human life as worthless, Lei Huo, to some extent, still has a pure heart.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to subdue hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border at such a young age. On the battlefield, it is not just about who has the best martial arts or who has a good start and status that can completely convince people.

If a general wants his soldiers to willingly sacrifice their lives, he must be kind, brave, and wise.

Only with proper command, reduced casualties, medical care for the wounded, compensation for the dead, and at the same time ensuring that the soldiers are well fed and clothed, and not hungry or cold, can we talk about military discipline.

Qiao Qingyun had heard a lot about the Northwest Army. Because everyone respected Zunyuan Hou very much, the military discipline was very strict. Although it was impossible to enforce one is one and two is two, everyone tried their best to abide by it.

But looking back now, it seems that it is not so strict. After all, it is unreasonable for a personal guard to follow someone and hide on someone's roof eating sunflower seeds.

If Yan Zhennan felt like a wooden stake after standing for three hours, then Lei Twelve was a starving ghost who was starving to death.

He was really hungry, but he was embarrassed to touch the things in the Yan family's kitchen. He knew the number of cakes and pastries in the bag was about the size of these melon seeds, so he probably wouldn't notice any difference if he grabbed a handful.

Besides, the order given by the general was only to protect, not to monitor, so it didn't matter if he was a little casual.

"Crack, crack, crack." These melon seeds are so fragrant. I must ask Brother Chu where he bought them when I get a chance. I also want to buy some back to feed his other brothers.
