Yi Chen's words immediately made Jiang Yan understand what was going on. "What kind of gun did you use last night?"

"Sniper rifle."

"You. Those sniper rifles are for grown men. You're a weakling like me, tinkering with that. I'm sure your shoulders and arms won't hurt."

"Mother~"

"Don't move, let me help you comb your body."

"Thank you, mother."

"Don't be so reckless next time."

"Well, I listen to my mother."

After the family had breakfast, Ye Zhan accompanied the emperor down the western hills. After Jiang Yan instructed her three children to return home, she packed up the tent and other belongings and followed them down the mountain.

The emperor and Ye Zhan came to the north side of the river and stopped.

"That mine, is it true that it cannot be reused?"

Ye Zhan couldn't discuss the theory with the old man, so he could only talk about the safety issue. "It can't be reused."

Ye Zhan also gave the old man several examples.

When it comes to safety, the old man is no longer stubborn.

However, the old man still felt sad when he thought that such a good thing was not used on the northern barbarians and had to be destroyed by themselves.

However, although he felt sad, the old man did not say anything to stop it this time.

When Jiang Yan came down from the west hill holding a handful of small red flags, General Ming and Captain Dong also came over with their soldiers.

Ye Zhan glanced at the two of them and thought: You are steady enough to have been able to endure until this moment.

Led by General Ming, everyone first paid their respects to the retired emperor and Prince Rui and his wife.

Then everyone noticed the small red flag in Jiang Yan's hand, and no one knew what it was for. Sansheng, the most outgoing, immediately approached Jiang Yan, respectfully preparing to take on an assignment.

Jiang Yan smiled but didn't give him the red flag. Instead, she said to everyone, "Everyone, look carefully at these red flags. Wherever I place them, there will be mines. Everyone, try to avoid them and don't get close."

After Jiang Yan finished speaking, she exchanged a look of mutual understanding with Ye Zhan before activating her wood-related abilities to sense the news brought by the roots of plants and trees within a radius of 100 meters.

As the small flags were put down one by one, the emperor felt even more heartbroken.

"It's a shame there are still so many mines that haven't exploded. Xiaoliu, can we just leave a mark like this for the northern barbarians?"

Ye Zhan looked at his father disapprovingly, his eyes were filled with indescribable emotion.

The Emperor: He really couldn’t bear to do it, but as his youngest son said, if anyone accidentally stepped on it, the consequences would be disastrous.

Compared with landmines, human life is obviously more important.

Jiang Yan waited until she had put small red flags on all the mines before waving her hand.

General Ming glanced at the retired emperor and Prince Rui again before loudly issuing an order: "Clean up the battlefield."

"Yes."

The soldiers of Black Stone City liked this part the most, and the young generals of the Thirteen Banners ran the fastest, which made General Ming glare at Captain Dong several times.

Captain Dong straightened his back with pride, looking so high-spirited, as if he was the one who set off the firecrackers yesterday.

Captain Dong: If we round it up, we have to count him as one.

General Ming: It’s really shameful to watch.

Captain Dong: Whether you like it or not, it's all like this. If you have the guts, go set off some fireworks!

Captain Dong looked at the young generals of the Thirteen Banners who were far ahead, and gave General Ming a smug glance, as if to say, "Look at our young generals. Not only do they charge forward in battle, they also take the lead in cleaning up the battlefield."

General Ming: He doesn’t want to see this guy anymore, it’s too annoying.

Captain Dong also knew that he had to stop while he was ahead. He didn't want to make General Ming angry and then stop playing with him in the future, otherwise it would be a waste of time.

Seeing the soldiers gathering all the injured and dead horses together, Jiang Yan picked out a few that looked good and prepared to take them back for treatment.

After everyone cleaned up the battlefield and evacuated the area, Jiang Yan activated her wood-based abilities and detonated all the unexploded mines at the same time.

With the rumbling sound of the explosion, the blown-up soil fell down one after another, and it was as if a mud rain was falling on the plain.

After all this was over, General Ming and Captain Dong raised with the Emperor the idea of ​​incorporating this plain into Black Stone City.

Of course the retired emperor was willing. He even went to the foot of the mountain on the other side of the plain with General Ming and others for an on-site inspection.

It was Yu Hua who led them. After Yu Wei fully woke up, he told his father about his previous injuries, which were completely different from what they saw now.

Yu Wei's words were not believed by the rest of the family, but Yu Hua did. When his son fell into the hands of the northern barbarians, he thought it was a blessing that his son could be rescued alive by Madam Jiang.

His worst-case scenario was that his son might come back with missing limbs.

He couldn't even imagine that his son could appear in front of him intact.

But his son was rescued by Madam Jiang, and he only had some minor injuries.

When he brought his son home, his mother and daughter-in-law both knelt down and kowtowed to their ancestors and God.

But he knew in his heart that the person they should be most grateful to was Madam Jiang. However, he and his son did not dare to say these words, for fear of bringing danger and endless trouble to Madam Jiang.

Yu Hua led the way this time with the intention of thanking Madam Jiang.

But when he looked at everyone present and didn't see Madam Jiang, he felt a little disappointed.

However, as a qualified scout, keeping their emotions under control is their most basic survival ability.

...

After driving away the northern barbarians, I can finally take a break.

Jiang Yan had been fighting for the past two years, and she felt exhausted. But now, sitting in her own yard, basking in the late autumn sun, she felt an unprecedented sense of contentment.

Shiyilang asked his brother to take him out to play, so Shilang took him to find his friends.

Mr. Wang was really too old to teach them anymore. He just sat by the river and told stories to a group of little kids. As he was telling stories, he fell asleep leaning against a tree trunk.

Wang Xiaoshan would sigh, "Grandma said that Grandpa can't come out to teach us anymore, saying that Grandpa's health can't handle it."

"Teacher, won't you teach us in the future?" Although Ma Jiabao didn't like studying, he still remembered what Madam Jiang said.

"Even if we can't become the top scholar, we still need to be able to read. At least when someone tries to cheat us, we can understand the IOU, the indenture of sale, and the deeds to our houses and lands, so we don't get sold out and then have to help others count the money."

"We shouldn't have to worry about this."

"...?"

"Prince Rui and Princess Rui will help us."

"That's for sure. It's just that there are no new people coming to our Thirteen Banners."

"Why do we have to be exiled? Can't my parents find us someone with a good reputation?"
