Chapter 240 Men
The generals stationed in the northern border of Donglin State were hungry and the court did not send them food and wages. After holding out for a while, they finally abandoned the city and fled, and no one knew where they went with their troops.
Even if the general abandoned the city, the Northern Zhao Kingdom did not invade, because after entering once, they found that the city was cleaner than their own skin, and they got nothing. It was a waste of effort.
Afterwards, the royal family of Beizhao also began to relocate with the people to find a suitable place to live.
Only Shang Chenyi's mother stayed there, waiting for him to come back, hoping to see him again.
After Shang Chenyi found his mother, he persuaded her to come with him to Donglin Kingdom to find Huo and the others.
Because my mother could ride a horse, their speed was not slow, but it was still a step behind. By the time they arrived at Xiyuan City, Huo and the others had already left.
Fortunately, they met a few people who came out of Xiyuan City. After asking them, they just said that most people came in this direction, so they also went in this direction.
Along the way, they heard a lot of people talking about tractors. They were originally worried that they were going in the wrong direction, but after hearing this new thing, they knew they were going in the right direction.
However, after entering the desert, they were dumbfounded. A day's difference could mean a difference of hundreds of kilometers, not to mention that they had missed two days of travel. The desert was so big and each place looked extremely similar. Where could they find people?
In the end, the three people walked and stopped frequently. Because they encountered a poisonous spider, their horse was bitten to death. In addition, they couldn't find any water source, and the three people were very thirsty.
Fortunately, they met a group of camels, who helped them find a water source. In addition, with Ye Buli's keen ability to identify directions, some car traces, and a little luck, they finally found Ning Yan and the others.
Ning Yan looked at them after hearing this. They all had gray faces, dry and chapped mouths, mud and sand on their clothes, and they hadn't had time to tidy up their hair. Even Shang Chenyi's beautiful face had lost a lot of its luster.
For the first time, Ning Yan experienced what a slovenly beauty was. It’s worth mentioning that although Shang Chenyi was down and out, his face was still fightable.
Shang Chenyi then introduced her to Ning Yan and Huo Yan, saying, "This is my mother. Her surname is Mo. You can just call her Madam Mo."
Then he said to his mother, Mogalina, "Mom, this is Ning Jian, this is Huo Yan, these are their two sons."
Shang Chenyi introduced them and pointed out people to her.
Hearing this, Mogalina smiled and looked at Ning Yan and the others and said, "Hello, your son is very cute."
The person in front of him had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and delicate facial features. She was 50% similar to Ye Buli. Although she was over 40, the traces of time had not diminished her appearance. Instead, she had a unique charm that made people want to get close to her.
She spoke the language of Donglin Kingdom, but with the accent of Beizhao Kingdom. Because she was not very proficient, she spoke word by word, but her voice sounded very gentle.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Huo Yun and Ning Jing was also very loving, and there was no hatred or other emotions in his eyes because of the conflicting identities between the two sides.
It's no wonder that such an open-minded person would raise such an eccentric person like Shang Chenyi.
So Ning Yan greeted her with a faint smile, and then asked his two sons to greet her as well.
After getting to know each other, Shang Chenyi walked around the tractor and then asked, "Is this the legendary tractor?"
"Yes." Army Officer Zhao introduced enthusiastically, "Brother Huo and his team developed this. It drives very fast. At top speed, it's faster than a horse."
Shang Chenyi heard this and said, "Brother Jian, are we going to set off? I also want to try this car."
Before Ning Jian could answer, Huo Yan looked at Ye Buli and asked, "You guys want to follow us?"
Ye Buli nodded when he heard this.
Seeing this, Huo said, "Then I don't owe you anything."
Ye Buli still nodded lightly.
Seeing this, Ning Yan said, "In that case, let's go."
Upon hearing this, the others prepared to get in the car and set off.
Huo Yun looked at the three camels and begged Ning Yan, "Dad, I want to ride a camel."
It was his first time seeing a camel and he was very surprised.
"Dad, I want one too." Ning Jing said immediately.
Ning Yan looked at Huo Yan when he heard that, and then he took one of his children, said hello to Ye Buli and the others, and then rode on the camel.
Then the group continued on their journey.
Shang Chenyi drove the last car and Ye Buli sat in the passenger seat.
Because Xu Canjun said that if he stepped on the accelerator too quickly, he would hit the car in front, so he didn't dare to step on it too much and only turned it a little bit. As a result, after a while, he found himself far behind the car in front.
Although he was behind, he still said to Ye Buli excitedly: "Ali, this car is amazing. It just turns and moves away. It doesn't even need a horse."
"Yeah." Ye Buli nodded in agreement. It was indeed magical.
Huo? He is so lucky to marry such a capable man.
Xu Canjun looked at the car ahead that was going further and further away and couldn't help but remind him, "Brother Shang, you need to speed up. We're almost out of reach of them."
Originally, General Xu and the others called Shang Chenyi Madam, but Shang Chenyi didn't like this title, so later they all changed it to Senior Brother Shang.
When Shang Chenyi heard this, he said without turning his head, "I understand."
Then he stepped on the accelerator, increased his speed, and slowly caught up with the car in front.
Han Ping looked at the two people in front of him, then he leaned over to General Xu and whispered, "Is this the Pavilion Master's husband?"
"I guess so." General Xu said ambiguously.
Is it considered to be? Han Ping was a little confused. If it is, it is, and if it is not, it is not. Why is there still a question of "is considered to be"?
"When did they get married?" Han Ping asked again.
Ye Buli was very secretive. He had never seen a boy and a girl around him before. But now, he found out that he already had a husband and he was so handsome. This really surprised Han Ping.
"It's been around for a long time, almost ten years." General Xu said with a proud expression as if to say, "You don't know, but I know."
Ten years? Han Ping was very surprised to hear this. It had been so long, and he hadn't noticed anything.
Looking at Huo's expression just now, he didn't seem surprised at all, as if he had known it for a long time.
Damn, you didn't even share such gossip.
Then he asked again: "What do you mean by what you just said?"
After hearing this, General Xu said, "It's not interesting. Think about it yourself."
It is a taboo to talk about the master's family in private, not to mention that they are talking about it in front of him. He is afraid that Ye Buli will punish him if he finds out.
Han Ping wanted to say something, but Chang Lanrui, who had been listening to gossip, tugged at Han Ping's sleeve and whispered something in his ear.
"Man?" Han Ping exclaimed in surprise after hearing her words.
Seeing this, Chang Lanrui quickly covered the man's mouth.
In fact, she was just guessing about this. Based on her feeling and the ambiguous words just now from Xu Canjun, she guessed that Shang Chenyi might be a man.
Unexpectedly, after telling Han Ping, this man lost control and shouted out loud.
