Chapter 110

Chapter 110

Jiang Yunsui stayed in Liaoyang County for several days, worried and downcast the entire time.

She stopped going out to play. Instead, she sat at the doorway with her little chin propped in her hands, as if waiting for someone.

Over the past few days, Fan He had acted with swift, decisive force and cleaned up the Li Family. The other clans and merchants in Liaoyang County who had colluded with the Li Family hadn’t escaped either.

However, the Li Family Head hadn’t died at Fan He’s hands. He had died of sheer rage.

He had already been poisoned, and after suffering blow after blow, his body had completely collapsed.

Then his younger brother had suddenly popped up, smugly announcing that the boy-girl twins were actually his.

Even the Li Family Head’s own mother had urged him not to let outsiders benefit, telling him to hand the Li Family over to his younger brother.

In short, that unlucky man had been angered to death by his own people.

Not long after he died, Fan He sent men to arrest everyone in the Li Family. From then on, the Li Family of Liaoyang County was finished for good.

That day, Jiang Yunsui was sitting on the threshold, watching the birds in the sky.

Someone walked up to her.

Jiang Yunsui looked over.

“Uncle Li?!”

That was right. It was the steward who had previously stayed by Ji Yan’an’s side. Later, when Nanshu came to look after Ji Yan’an, Uncle Li had taken people with him to search for medicine.

She hadn’t expected him to return now.

“Little Yunsui, the Young Master sent me to bring you to Beizhen City.”

…

That afternoon, a carriage rumbled slowly out of Liaoyang County.

Jiang Yunsui lay against the carriage window, half her body leaning out as she waved goodbye to Fan He.

“Uncle Fan, you have to come to Beizhen City soon!”

Fan He stood at the city gate, watching them leave.

Jiang Yunsui couldn’t sit still alone inside the carriage, so she ran outside to talk to Uncle Li.

“Uncle Li, did you find the medicine?”

A faint smile appeared on Uncle Li’s travel-worn face.

“We found the Snow Spirit Grass.”

Snow Spirit Grass from the snowy mountains.

In order to find it, he and most of the people who had gone looking for the Snow Spirit Grass had all developed an eye ailment. Everything they looked at appeared as a vast, snowy blur.

Quite a few people had died as well.

But… in the end, Heaven did not disappoint those who persevered. After asking around in every direction, they had finally found it.

After returning, he had rested for a while. Only once his eyes had recovered somewhat did he receive the Young Master’s message. The Young Master hadn’t ordered him to follow the troops to reinforce Qiusha, only to come to Liaoyang County and bring Jiang Yunsui back.

As long as they had found it, that was good. Now only two medicines remained.

“I wonder how Ji Yan’an and the others are doing.”

“Don’t worry.”

Uncle Li patted the little girl’s head.

“The Young Master inherited all of Lord Duke’s skill in military strategy. It would be no exaggeration to call him a young genius. This time, a hundred thousand troops were sent to Qiusha, so nothing will happen. For the Young Master, this is also excellent training.”

Jiang Yunsui nodded.

After several more days on the road, they finally returned to Beizhen City.

This was somewhere Jiang Yunsui knew fairly well, so once she returned, she relaxed quite a bit.

The peaches were fully ripe now.

The two chicks had also begun to grow new feathers, and the dogs had even been taken to the military camp for training. When they returned to her side, they looked even more imposing than before.

The two chicks had forgotten her, but they weren’t afraid of people either. They simply stood not far away, tilting their heads and looking around curiously.

Jiang Yunsui crouched down and gathered a bit of Imperial Flowing Essence in her hand.

“Chirp, chirp, chirp!”

Now they didn’t find her unfamiliar at all. Flapping their little wings, they happily ran toward her.

“Woof, woof…”

The two dogs also came over, looking at her with eager eyes.

They wanted some too.

Jiang Yunsui didn’t play favorites. Each animal got a little, and no more.

“Nanny Zhou, hurry and find a guard to help pick the peaches. They’re ready to eat!”

There was a hint of amusement in Nanny Zhou’s eyes. “We’ve saved them all for you.”

Most of the peaches had already been picked.
Only a small portion was left.

Jiang Yunsui wanted to save it for Ji Yan’an and the others.

Holding a freshly washed peach, Jiang Yunsui sat on the threshold of the front gate.

“Are there still no messenger pigeons today?”

The day before yesterday, Jiang Yunsui had used a messenger pigeon to send a letter. In reality, she had drawn a peach, along with a hand, and underneath it, a simple little stick-figure girl eating a peach in a huff.

As for writing words… with her handwriting, forget it.

“Don’t worry. It takes the homing pigeon some time to fly to Qiusha.”

Jiang Yunsui gave an obedient oh.

There was no point just staying at home, so Jiang Yunsui simply took Zuozuo Youyou with her to the military camp.

She went straight to Old General Tang.

Tang Qingsong was quite fond of the two dogs Jiang Yunsui was raising. Not only were they fierce by nature and full of wildness, their frames were also much larger than the other dogs in the Dog Camp.

They were already big enough now that Jiang Yunsui, with her tiny little body, could ride on their backs and they would still be able to run while carrying her.

But these two dogs could still grow.

Tang Qingsong estimated that these two dogs would become the largest dogs he had ever seen.

At that size, in the future, they would probably only be a little smaller than tigers.

Their fur was especially beautiful too. The white one went without saying, while the brown one’s coat now looked somewhat fiery red.

From a distance, it looked like a blazing ball of flame.

The black parts of its fur were glossy and pitch-black as well.

In short, either one of these two dogs would make anyone’s eyes light up if taken out on its own.

And it was not just these two dogs. Why did Heiwa also seem to have grown a whole size larger than before? Its presence was becoming stronger and stronger.

“Suisui, have these dogs always been raised by you?”

Tang Qingsong was truly envious of these two dogs. They already had the makings of dog kings.

If they grew a little bigger, even wolves on the grassland would probably flee at the sight of them.

Jiang Yunsui nodded. “Yes.”

“What do you feed them?”

What Jiang Yunsui fed them was actually very simple. Apart from some bones and meat, they basically ate whatever the people ate.

Together with Heiwa, all three dogs were not picky at all.

“That shouldn’t be possible. Zuozuo and Youyou’s builds have already strayed far from what ordinary mastiffs should have. Their fur isn’t right either. I’ve never seen colors like these.”

Jiang Yunsui felt a little guilty.

She had indeed fed them something a little different.

Imperial Flowing Essence.

But she absolutely could not say that.

“And these two dogs are far too smart.”

Generally, dogs with a strong wild nature disliked obeying human commands and were very aggressive, so it took more time to train them.

But Jiang Yunsui’s two were very smart, smart enough to understand the trainer’s commands completely and even complete all the training with ease.

The only thing was, the two of them were a little lazy. Sometimes they simply would not listen and would just lie off to the side, sleeping or watching the other dogs train.

Even when Tang Qingsong personally commanded them, they were not very willing.

Other times, they did not need any commands at all. They would finish all the training on their own.

Jiang Yunsui stroked the two dogs’ big heads, her little face full of pride.

The dogs she raised really were different.

Heiwa also came over.

Jiang Yunsui, not favoring one over another, patted Heiwa’s head too.

“Suisui.”

Tang Qingsong’s voice was as kindly as could be, even gentler than when he called his own granddaughter.

“Do you think you could sell Zuozuo or Youyou to Grandpa Tang? Don’t worry, I would definitely treat them like family.”

Before Jiang Yunsui could say anything, the two dogs refused, baring their teeth at Tang Qingsong.

Jiang Yunsui patted both their heads, and only then did they reluctantly put their teeth away. But Zuozuo, the white mastiff, bumped Tang Qingsong with her body.

Go away, old man!
