My vicious dog, my horse, I can do whatever I want with it

“But I don’t want any surprises.”

"Follow me out. I will take you all back safe and sound."

Zong Yanli stood up and looked straight at Monkie. Monkie stood up straight unconsciously when he met Zong Yanli's gaze. He heard Zong Yanli say, "You are my brothers. I will not allow any accidents to happen."

The emotions revealed by Zong Yanli at this moment were so strong that his figure, which was obviously two centimeters shorter than all of them, seemed to be magnified for no reason at this moment.

Monk opened his mouth but couldn't say a word. He seemed a little confused. When did he become brothers with Zong Yanli?

"What Zong Yanli said makes sense." Kuang Xingquan reached out and patted Monk's shoulder. This was the first time Kuang Xingquan spoke up for Zong Yanli, and it seemed like a kind of recognition.

"I didn't say I wouldn't listen." Monk lowered his head awkwardly.

To avoid accidents, Zong Yanli asked everyone to take turns to keep watch and remain vigilant at all times.

The next morning, Kuang Xingquan and his friends invited them to go out for a walk. Zong Yanli followed them for a long time as if he was going to see the scenery. In the end, he bought some handicrafts. In the afternoon, he went to Wang Yi and said that he wanted to make a beautiful shuttlecock for his sister.

"The shuttlecocks you have here are really beautiful." Zong Yanli said while talking to Wang Yi, "Not only are the colors bright, but there are also many different shapes."

"..." Wang Yi looked at Zong Yanli and couldn't help but frowned and said, "Brother Wen, why don't you go to your own place to do your handicrafts? This is not a place to rest."

"I heard that the general has a daughter, who must be very good at making little things that little girls like." Zong Yanli was a little embarrassed, and said with a simple smile: "General, can you help me see how I did it?"

Zong Yanli handed over the shuttlecock he made as he spoke. Wang Yi didn't want to pay any attention to him.

But when I looked down at the shuttlecock he made, I found that not only were the feathers all twisted together, but the iron sheet used for kicking was actually tied vertically...

Wang Yi's eyes twitched when he saw this, and he said unhappily, "If you do this, won't your sister beat you to death if she sees you?"

Zong Yanli blushed, scratched his hair and said softly: "I am a rough man, I can't read, it's all thanks to the old woman selling shuttlecocks who taught me a few words, I figured it was this meaning, but I'm too clumsy to do it."

Wang Yi sighed, took the shuttlecock from Zong Yanli, glanced at him and asked, "You don't look very old, so your sister must still be young, right?"

"Yes, she is only twelve years old this year." Zong Yanli smiled, as if thinking of his little sister at home, and couldn't help saying: "My sister has loved to stick to me since she was a child. Now that I am in the army, she must be missing me when she is alone at home."

"We have made peace now. I also want to finish this quickly and go home to bring the shuttlecock to my sister."

"My sister loves to laugh. If she sees the shuttlecock I brought her, she will be very happy."

Wang Yi listened to Zong Yanli's speech in silence. He was obviously a young man who could not keep secrets. He didn't even ask a question and he blurted out everything. He was indeed a soldier from Gao State's army. It seemed that he was sent to die and had no future.

Wang Yi guessed almost everything from Zong Yanli's few words. Then, seeing Zong Yanli still talking about his proud sister, he couldn't help but think with some regret that this boy was only a few years older and now he was going to die here.

Wang Yi swiftly helped Zong Yanli wrap the shuttlecock, handed it to him and said, "Keep it."

"This is an important military area and we cannot allow you to stay here for long. Wen Xiaolang, please go back to your residence." Wang Yi stood up and drove him away.

"Thank you, thank you, General!" Zong Yanli accepted it with a smile on his face, and got up and left without even bothering to pay, as if he really came here just to ask for a favor.

The next day, Zong Yanli appeared again, this time to make a small windmill.

The third day...

Wang Yi saw with his own eyes this young man carefully making many little gadgets for his sister at home. The sincere young man seemed to be looking forward to the journey home all the time. From the initial annoyance he drove Zong Yanli away, to later Wang Yi listening to him talk about many things at home.

He even described in vivid detail such a small incident as the first time he carried his sister out to play and fell, his eyes full of longing for home.

Wang Yi felt a little complicated as he learned that Zong Yanli was just a new recruit who had just joined the army this year.

"General, the Fifth Prince's troops have arrived." When the princess was about to arrive, Wang Yi also received a reply.

"..." Wang Yi held the secret letter in his hand and read the command to leave no trace in it. He thought of the cheerful and talkative young man involuntarily. He couldn't help but clenched his hands and sighed silently.

At the same time, Zong Yanli and everyone else gathered around a long table, on which two maps were crudely drawn with cowhide charcoal.

One is a road map inside Dunkou City, and the other is a defense map of the city gates.

Zong Yanli changed his simple and innocent boyish demeanor, and looked at the map in front of him with a calm look in his eyes. He described the deployment of the patrol guards in the city one by one, and even explained clearly when the city defense troops would change shifts and when they would have meals.

Lu Hao, Kuang Xingquan and others looked at Zong Yanli in shock. They couldn't believe that Zong Yanli, who only went to chat with Wang Yi every day, could know all these things so clearly. It was as if he had been in Gao Kingdom for a long time. It was really scary.

Of course, Zong Yanli could not know so much in such a short time. She recalled countless times the details of the siege in Dunkou City that year, and combined her current observations to deduce more detailed information.

"As expected, tomorrow Wang Yi will come to tell us that Princess Gao has arrived and lead us to meet the princess." Zong Yanli stood up and said, "Everyone, have a good rest today. If the meeting tomorrow is successful and we receive the princess' safe departure from Dunkou City, our trip will be safe."

"If the princess tomorrow is fake, the siege is real..."

“It’s bound to be a tough battle.”

Zong Yanli's words made everyone's heart tighten, and they felt an inexplicable sense of urgency that a storm was about to come.

The atmosphere in the room was a little silent. Everyone took a seat, carefully checked their weapons, and put on protective soft armor, as if they were ready to fight at any time. Among them, Monk and others were the most serious.

A short man under Lu Hao's command muttered, "This is all just speculation. Is it necessary to be so cautious?"

"You are quite obedient." Those people looked at Monk Qi and Kuang Xingquan with a bit of mockery in their eyes. It was obvious that they had known each other in Youying for a long time.

The positions of both sides' accomplices were taken by this suddenly assigned team leader. Ge Xiaoqing and his companions were naturally not convinced, but they still tried to save face. Now they looked at Meng Qi and Kuang Xingquan and others, why did they seem to be so obedient to their new team leader?
