This time, both the husband and wife saw it. Ye Zhan himself felt it, his lips trembling, his words incoherent with excitement.

"Wife, I, I can really walk now."

"Yes." Jiang Yan was even more excited than Ye Zhan, and she put her arms around Ye Zhan's waist.

"Daughter-in-law~"

"Husband~"

The shadows of two people hugging each other were projected on the curtains, adding a touch of spring to the quiet night.

The next day, after the family had breakfast early, Jiang Yan drove the carriage to take her daughter to Black Stone City.

As soon as their carriage reached the river, they saw Ye Sanlang and Ye Silang waiting by the roadside on horseback.

"Uncle, aunt, little sister."

"Eh."

"Hey, hey, where are you going?"

"Third brother, fourth brother."

"It was Grandfather who asked my brother and me to accompany our uncle and aunt to Black Rock City."

“…” Jiang Yan did not refuse after hearing this. She appreciated the old man’s kindness.

Yichen was the happiest. She let her fourth brother hold her and ride a horse, which was much better than riding in a carriage and would not shake her butt.

Jiang Yan was driving the carriage, looking at the two horses running in front, and continued to discuss with Ye Zhan who was sitting in the carriage how to deal with it if they met someone who was familiar with Shen Sanlang.

"Your temperament is completely different now, and your skin color is also very different. The best way is to deny it even if you are beaten to death."

"Wife, don't worry, I won't reveal the secret."

"Well, I believe my husband is the best."

"Wife, you have to change your tone and call me husband!"

"Oh, I always forget. But from now on I won't forget again."

Ye Zhan knew that his wife did it on purpose. Looking at her back as she cracked the whip, he smiled with infinite indulgence.

When the carriage passed by the Hundred Households Office, Ye Zhanyang and his two younger brothers were waiting by the roadside.

When he saw them coming, Ye Zhanyang meant to let Ye Zhanpeng and Ye Zhanying take them to Black Stone City.

Jiang Yan didn't agree, and she didn't explain much. She just pointed at Ye Zhan's face, and the three brothers understood. If the four brothers stood together, anyone with a keen eye would be able to tell their relationship.

For Xiaoliu's safety, Ye Zhanyang gave up the idea of ​​sending their family to Black Stone City.

Jiang Yan also said that having Sanlang and Silang was enough.

The three brothers of the Ye family thought that the Jiang family was unstoppable in the Northern Barbarian army, and they realized that Sanlang and Silang were just decorations.

Just let it be a decoration. It's better than having no one following it and being noticed by some short-sighted people.

Jiang Yan meant the same thing.

The group said goodbye to the three brothers of the Ye family and continued heading towards Black Stone City.

She also met two acquaintances on the way. They both took the initiative to greet Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan vaguely remembered that they were also from the Xishan Hundred Households Office, but she couldn't remember their specific names.

However, this did not prevent her from chatting with them about some family matters before continuing on her way to Blackrock City.

Jiang Yan's carriage ran forward for a while and saw a group of people running towards them.

Even from a few feet away, Yi Chen could hear someone calling out loudly, "Brother-in-law."

"Eh~"

Sanlang and Silang also hurriedly called out, "Brother-in-law."

"Eldest brother-in-law."

"Eh, eh."

"Brother-in-law, where are you going?"

"Brother-in-law was ordered to come and pick up Aunt."

"Oh."

Jiang Yan didn't expect that General Ming sent Dong Shining to pick them up. After Dong Shining greeted Jiang Yan and Ye Zhan, the group continued to move forward.

Yichen looked at the growing group and secretly exchanged glances with her parents, meaning, "Will there be anyone else?"

Jiang Yan shook her head, her meaning was obvious: "She doesn't know either."

...

Perhaps because of the victory, Black Rock City was bustling with activity. The street vendors' cries seemed even louder than before.

Jiang Yan didn't have many opportunities to go shopping in Black Stone City, so she had no basis for comparison. But from the conversation between Dong Shi Ning and the others, she could tell something was different from before.

The carriage passed through most of Black Stone City and arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion. General Ming and his men were already waiting there. When they saw Jiang Yan's carriage approaching, they urged their horses to follow.

Jiang Yan didn't expect that General Ming would go with them in person.

After the two sides greeted each other, they ran along the street towards the north gate together.

After leaving the north city gate, the carriage moved even slower. General Ming was good-tempered and didn't rush them. He just looked at the man sitting in the carriage with some confusion.

He had heard that Madam Jiang had picked up three beggars in Black Stone City, one large and two small. She made the man her husband and adopted the two boys as her sons.

When General Ming heard the news, he was completely baffled. He thought that among his Black Stone City soldiers, there were many strong and healthy bachelors.

Any one of them would be better than this beggar who looks like a living dead.

But now it seems that he should trust Madam Jiang's judgment.

When the carriage stumbled to the river, a wooden bridge had been built over it. Jiang Yan drove the carriage directly across the river and stopped beside the three badly damaged carriages.

Jiang Yan first helped Ye Zhan get off the carriage and introduced him to General Ming and the others.

General Ming finally had the opportunity to take a closer look at this legendary living dead beggar.

At a glance, General Ming knew the rumor was wrong. This man, Jiang Zhan, looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

Overall, he had to admit that Jiang Zhan had a good look.

Sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, but... why does he feel that this face looks a little familiar?

Just as General Ming fell into self-doubt, Jiang Yan had already helped Ye Zhan to one of the carriages.

The wheels and frame of the carriage were almost completely damaged, and a cast iron cylinder was half buried in the broken wood.

"Wife, please clean up these broken pieces of wood first, and then we can take a look."

"Okay." Jiang Yan agreed and asked Sanlang to move the wheelchair down from the carriage for Ye Zhan to sit on.

She helped Ye Zhan sit steadily, asked Yichen and Sanlang to stay with Ye Zhan, and then she started to clean up the broken wood.

When General Ming saw that Madam Jiang was going to clean up the junk, he wanted his two sons to go over and help.

Jiang Yan refused, "The shells of this cannon are made of gunpowder, so I'd better do it myself."

Jiang Yan's words made everyone who was about to help stop.

But their curiosity made no one retreat. They all stood there and watched Madam Jiang clear away the floating objects that were pressing on the cast iron cylinder bit by bit.

Until the entire cylinder was exposed, along with several round balls as big as children's heads next to it.

Mingli had been wanting to speak, but he was afraid of disturbing Madam Jiang and making his father unhappy, so he kept holding it in. Now that he saw those round balls, he was really curious about what they were, so he asked, "Madam Jiang, what are those black balls?"

Jiang Yan is never stingy with money when it comes to children who are truly studious.
