Xiao Yeyang stayed at the mansion for three days, and even though Daozi spent most of his time sleeping, he still stayed by his son’s side at all times, while Daohua sat beside them sewing clothes for their son, watching Xiao Yeyang play with Yangyang.
For these three days, Gu Jian and Guo Ruomei tactfully did not come to disturb the family of three.
"How much longer will the battle against Xiliao last?" Daohua couldn’t help asking.
Xiao Yeyang said while shaking a rattle drum to amuse his son, "It’s uncertain for now. Xiao Yechi and Yelu Kangda are joining forces to attack one side, and the other side will quickly come to their aid."
Daohua expressed some concern: "Then you must be extra careful. I’m afraid Xiao Yechi bears deep hatred towards you."
Xiao Yeyang nodded: "Don’t worry, I’ll be cautious."
Daohua added, "Right, when you leave this time, transport another shipment of food there. With food in hand, the soldiers will feel more at ease."
Xiao Yeyang put down the rattle drum, walked over to Daohua, and held her in his arms: "I’m lucky to have you, otherwise I’d have a headache thinking about the army’s food supplies."
Daohua looked up at Xiao Yeyang with a smile: "You realize now that marrying me was like finding a treasure."
Xiao Yeyang laughed: "I’ve known that for a long time!"
Afterward, Xiao Yeyang continued to play with his son, while Daohua went to prepare some food and necessities for Xiao Yeyang.
The next day, after bidding farewell to Gu Jian, Guo Ruomei, and Chu Lang, Xiao Yeyang departed.
Seeing Daohua holding Daozi, watching Xiao Yeyang’s retreating figure with reluctance, Guo Ruomei stepped forward to comfort her with a few words: "Marrying Yeyang, you’ve indeed endured much hardship."
Daohua replied with a smile: "Mother, not to mention the great cause of benefitting the nation and the people that Xiao Yeyang is working on, having my master, and both you and Uncle Chu to accompany me, I really don’t feel it’s that hard at all."
A look of gratification appeared on Guo Ruomei’s face: "Good child."
A moment ago, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had been joyous together; the next moment, Guo Ruomei reached out intending to take Daozi, and the smile on Daohua’s face became somewhat forced.
"Let me take the child, you go and get busy."
"Mother, it’s fine, I’m not busy."
Seeing this, Gu Jian, who was nearby, walked over and reached his hands toward Daohua: "I’m not going to the pharmacy today, let me take care of the child, you two take a break."
Daohua, Guo Ruomei: "..."
Eventually, Gu Jian cheerfully took Daozi away.
Daohua and Guo Ruomei exchanged somewhat melancholy glances, then went about their separate business.
...
After returning to the camp, Xiao Yeyang would think of his soft and adorable son and wish he could end the battle immediately.
"Xiao Yechi must be dealt with!"
Xiao Yeyang stared intently at the sand table for a long while, and finally, he made a plan to divide the troops into two groups to confront Xiao Yechi and Yelu Kangda.
In the following days, Xiao Yeyang allowed his generals and soldiers to rest and rejuvenate, and then they launched a large-scale attack on the Xiliao camp.
Xiliao camp.
When Yelu Kangda and Xiao Yechi received the news, their expressions turned solemn.
The Xiliang side was not short of food anymore, but after a standoff, their own provisions were almost depleted.
Especially now, entering August, the weather was about to turn cold, and they had not prepared enough items to ward off the chill.
Yelu Kangda looked at Xiao Yechi: "Have you considered my previous proposal?"
Xiao Yechi furrowed his brows, silent.
