On the side of the West Mountain Hundred Households, they had already seen the miserable appearance of the northern barbarians on the hillside.

They are now all in the same posture, covering their mouths with one hand and their stomachs with the other, laughing "puchi, puchi" non-stop.

Captain Dong also had a hard time enduring it, and he used his eyes to stop others from time to time, for fear of causing a big noise and alarming the northern barbarians.

They didn't know that they didn't need to be careful at all now. The northern barbarians had no time to pay attention to them and were busy saving themselves.

Guan couldn't stop laughing. As she laughed, she started to cry. She reached out and hugged Jiang Yan, crying, "Sister, thank you. If it weren't for you, we might not have been able to defeat so many northern barbarians."

"Even if we win, we may not survive to the end." Zhang Xiaoqi added on behalf of his wife.

"Not really, at least we are all alive today."

Jiang Yan's words almost made all the officers and soldiers of Xishan Hundred Households cheer.

Captain Dong: This was the first time in so many years that they faced the massive army of the northern barbarians, and they did so with laughter.

But who wants to die when they can live?

Zhang Xiaoqi glanced at the sky and saw that it was getting dark, so he urged Guan to go back.

Guan glanced at Jiang Yan. She wasn't sure whether to let her sister go back with her. After all, if she left, her sister would be the only woman here. If outsiders knew about it, it would be really embarrassing.

"Sister?"

"I'll go back with Sister Guan."

"Let's come together again tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll listen to Sister Guan."

"You two should be careful when you go back."

"It's okay. We left the carriage at the foot of the mountain."

Guan took another look at the horse hidden in the bushes. It had already died from its injuries. "If we don't clean it up today, it will definitely break down tomorrow."

"Then let's take it back."

"Can we get it back?"

"We two can't move it, but they can." After Jiang Yan finished speaking, Ye Dalang brought his three younger brothers, each of them picked up a horse leg and walked towards the hill.

"Sister, won't the northern barbarians see it?"

"will not."

Seeing that Sister Jiang was so confident, Guan also relaxed and followed quickly.

The men of the Thirteenth Banner laughed, and the soldiers of the other twelve smaller banners were envious, but no one said anything. Compared to their lives, a horse was nothing.

Jiang Yan lit the torch only after reaching the foot of the mountain.

The four brothers of the Ye family helped to lift the dead horse onto the carriage, and then told their aunt to be careful on the road, and then went back along the path.

The two of them walked very slowly along the way, and someone asked them about their whereabouts at every small flag they passed.

Jiang Yan didn't bother to explain, and simply told the women, "Tomorrow will be a tough battle."

If I say this sentence twelve times, my mouth will get tired.

By the time they hurried back to the Thirteen Banners, it was already past the hour of the dog. There was a fire burning at the intersection, and people were waiting in every household.

They saw the torches and the sounds of carriages from a long distance away, and knew they had returned. They all gathered around to ask what was going on in Blackrock City.

Guan answered all the questions one by one, and then asked someone to pick up the horse and share it among the families.

Jiang Yan didn't care about that. She was anxious to go home to see her daughter. No matter how sensible her daughter was, she was still a child in her heart.

Fortunately, on this side of the river, she could see the soft warm light coming from her own yard.

As she drove the carriage close to her yard, her daughter came out jumping and skipping to greet her, followed by Ye Xiner and her sister.

"Mom, you're back."

"came back."

"Auntie."

"Auntie is back."

"Hey, hey, I'm back."

Ye Xin'er talked to her aunt about what happened in the flag during the day, and was about to take her sister back. Jiang Yan tried to persuade her to stay, "Xin'er, Zhen'er, auntie, please stay here with Chenchen for the next few days, okay?"

"Auntie, we are here to accompany my sister. Please don't mention the word 'beg' anymore."

"Thank you Xin'er and Zhen'er."

"Don't say thank you, Auntie, it's really embarrassing for us sisters."

The two sisters decided to stay and accompany their younger sister. Ye Xiner even took the whip from Jiang Yan's hand and drove the carriage to the backyard.

Seeing her sister going to the backyard to send the carriage, Ye Zhener couldn't sit idle either, so she immediately found something to do for herself.

"Auntie, you haven't eaten yet, go wash up, I'll help you serve the food."

"Okay, thank you, Jane."

"Aunt~"

Seeing that all the work was done by her two sisters, Yichen ran to the river and called out loudly, "Grandma, Auntie."

"Hey, hey!" Hearing Chenchen's soft voice, the happy old lady Ye immediately forgot all her worries and ran to the river with her eldest daughter-in-law.

"Good boy, do you have something to do with grandma?"

"Yes, Chenchen wants to tell grandma and aunt that the two sisters will not be going back today and will stay at my house to accompany Chenchen."

"Okay, okay, grandma and your aunt know, you should go back quickly, it's too dark outside."

"Well, see you tomorrow, grandma, and see you tomorrow, aunt."

"Hey, hey, see you tomorrow, grandma's sweetheart."

Yichen didn't know that her sweet voice made Old Mrs. Ye so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.

It was late at night and Jiang Yan was already tired, but she still heard a knock on the door.

Ye Xiner knew that her aunt was tired after a day, so she quickly put on her clothes and went to open the door.

Outside the door were Ersheng and Sansheng, who had come to deliver the horse meat they had been given to Jiang Yan.

After seeing the two brothers off, Ye Xin'er discussed with her sister, "The weather isn't too cold yet. We can't keep the horse meat for too long. Let's cook it overnight."

"Okay, let's go to the river and clean ourselves up first."

"Ah."

The two sisters carried the wooden basin to the river and found that everyone was washing horse meat in the river.

From the moment the two sisters received the horse meat, Jiang Yan stopped caring about it. She was too tired and just wanted to sleep quietly for a while.

The Thirteen Banners tonight are different from the past. White smoke is coming out of the chimneys of every household, floating slowly in the late autumn night.

Yichen didn't sleep either. She accompanied her two sisters in the kitchen to cook horse meat.

Yichen had never eaten horse meat before, but when she looked at its color and rough texture, she felt that it was not as delicious as pork, beef or mutton.

But in this place, having meat to eat is enough, who needs a bicycle?

Yi Chen could conclude that if it weren't for the terrible thing that the Northern Barbarian Army was heading south, the Thirteen Banners would be celebrating the New Year tonight.

It was still dark when Jiang Yan woke up. She put on her clothes and left the room without disturbing the three children.

Jiang Yan's own courtyard was high, and from her own, she could see that the Zhang family's house was also lit. She could even vaguely see Sister Guan moving a steamer at the open kitchen door.

Jiang Yan guessed that Sister Guan was steaming buns for the people in the flag who were fighting.

It seems that she needs to provide the Zhang family with more food. Otherwise, if they continue to eat like this, the Zhang family’s food will run out in two or three days.
