Splendid Twins

After this incident, the weather became warmer and people put on light clothes to start the new year's work.

Si Yao was busy moving the saplings back and forth. She had only planted less than half of the three hills. The spiritual energy in the space was almost exhausted. She would feel uneasy if she didn't collect some more.

"Your friend is very generous. These saplings are straight and upright. In time, they will grow into towering trees."

Wang Dahu piled the bundles onto the cart. Si Yao stopped and said meaningfully:

"Of course, a wealthy family."

Wang Dahu's smile slowly faded, and he said softly:

"I want to go out... far away."

Si Yao was just about to get in the car when she heard this and was startled. Seeing his serious expression, she nodded:

"Okay."

"when are we leaving?"

"The day after tomorrow, at Xiaoyu's place..."

"Since he calls me sister, I will definitely take care of him. There is only one thing, don't bring danger to Sijia Village."

Si Yao's last sentence contained a subtle warning.

"rest assured."

The two of them pulled the last cart of saplings back to Sijia Village. Si Laoer originally wanted to place the saplings in the thatched hut, but Si Yao disagreed. There were too many people in the thatched hut, so she decided to requisition Lu Yuan's empty house.

The village chief also strongly agreed. He was really happy for Lu Yuan when he learned that he had recovered. He was a miserable young man.

"I don't know how Lu Yuan is doing now."

Wang Dahu muttered something in a low voice, and Si Yao happened to hear it. Her eyes darkened, and she also wanted to know what Lu Yuan's situation was.

Lu Yuan, who was being thought of by others, was playing chess with someone at this time, and he made a move with the black piece in his hand:

"you lose."

"Your Highness has a good strategy."

Lu Yuan raised his eyes nonchalantly, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up:

"How are the arrangements going?"

The man stood up and saluted respectfully: "Everything has been arranged, just waiting for your order."

Lu Yuan tapped the table with his fingertips: "I want everything to be safe!"

"Yes."

"How is the war between Xirong and Dai Viet?"

The man stepped forward and pointed to the location on the map and said:

"The Western Rong are coming with great force this time, but Dai Viet is only defending and not attacking. If this continues, we will be able to break through the pass in no time."

Lu Yuan turned his head and stared at Fenglei Pass at the border between Xirong and Dayue for a long time. There was a deep feeling in his eyes, and his five fingers were clenched into fists under his wide sleeves. No one knew what he was thinking.

Shadow Blade walked in with a sword in hand, blood still lingering on the tip of the sword:

"Master, all ten rebel generals have been executed."

The man looked at this with shock:

"All the generals of the Flying Eagle Army have been registered. If you do this...if His Majesty notices..."

Lu Yuan stood up and said calmly, "I just did it for him to see."

After saying this, he walked out leisurely, with Shadow Blade following closely. The man looked at the backs of the master and servant and murmured:

"I'm afraid there will be no peace in the future..."

Ever since Lu Yuan came back, the fake confessed everything under Shadow Blade's torture. At first, he thought that he would make sure Lu Yuan was killed to pieces when he met the Queen Mother!

It was not until Lu Yuan personally killed him with a sword that he realized the difference between the two of them. He was a shadow cultivated by the Queen Mother. He learned Lu Yuan's temperament and habits from a young age, and followed his every move to stand in the sun. He always thought he could replace Lu Yuan, but he didn't expect to die in his hands...

The Western Rong once again came to harass the people at the border. This time they stole several hundred cattle and sheep. When the people below reported it, Shen Xing was so angry that he slammed the table:

"The barbarians are going too far!"

The deputy general next to him took the initiative to stand up:

"General, please let your subordinates go there."

"General, I will go..."

"General..."

Shen Xing raised his eyes and looked over one by one, and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty has ordered that you must not fight back. Have you forgotten?"

Several people were immediately deflated when they heard this, and one of them spoke angrily:

"Then why are we still here?"

"General, the barbarians have sensed our intentions, so they keep provoking us. If they can steal our cattle and sheep today, they can..."

Shen Xing listened to what his subordinates said and reached out to stop them:

"do not talk."

"General, I have an idea."

Zhou Yu stood up and spoke slowly, which attracted many people's attention.

"Say!"

"This prince will set off for the capital soon, taking a group of people with him to take a detour. It won't be too late to return to the capital after avenging this!"

When the generals in the big tent heard that this method was feasible, they said:

"Yes, when Prince Zhou returned to the capital, he no longer obeyed military orders. He found the Western Rong barbarians and took back the cattle and sheep. This can be regarded as a relief for us."

"The terrain of Fenglei Pass is precipitous, with steep and rugged cliffs on both sides. Are you sure, Prince Zhou?"

Shen Xing saw Zhou Yu's deliberate warning and wanted to retaliate unexpectedly, so he could only bypass Fenglei Pass and enter from the deep mountains and old forests. Passing through layers of fog, the danger of the dense forest followed him like a shadow, and he might fall into a desperate situation if he was not careful.

"It all depends on man!"

Zhou Yu's expression was serious and his attitude was firm, so let him do one last thing for the people at the border.

"Okay, I will assign 500 personal guards to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone outside the tent reported:

"General, the new soldiers are making a fuss!"

Shen Xing stood up with a sullen face: "Let's go and take a look."

The recruits were in a commotion at this point, complaining:

"The barbarians have come to our doorstep to bully us, and we are hiding like cowards?"

"I train so hard every day to kill the enemy, not to be a bear..."

"That's right. If I had known it was so pathetic, I would never have come here..."

Si Yang in the crowd listened to the complaints around him without saying a word. A flash of confusion passed through his eyes. He looked at the thick calluses on his palms and pursed his lips in silence.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

The person next to him pushed him, and seeing him staring at his hands, he said:

"Your ability to shoot an arrow through a hundred steps is no longer useful. Don't practice it anymore."

Si Yang still didn't express his opinion. The people around him felt embarrassed. They were young and energetic, and they started to quarrel after just a few words. Si Yang grabbed the other person's wrist and held it tightly. The movement of the two people caused everyone to cheer. The man's face turned red and he cursed:

"Let me go, you really think you're such a great archer? Dad is praising you!"

Si Yang was completely enraged by the last sentence. He exerted force and skill with both hands and knocked the man to the ground!

“Wow, good…”

"it is good……"

"You can't do that, kid..."

When Shen Xing and others came over, the recruits had not yet reacted. They were lazy and disorderly, and there was no sight of the general in charge of training the recruits. Several deputy generals suddenly turned pale!

"The general is here!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into silence. The recruits turned around and saw the expressionless general and a group of superiors with grim faces. They did not dare to act rashly.

"Why don't you say anything? Go on, let this general listen too."

Shen Xing didn't seem angry, but what he said made everyone look afraid.

"You two, come here."

Si Yang and the person lying on the ground were named by Shen Xing. Both of them walked up to the crowd with burning feelings on their faces.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Shen Xing seemed to be interested and personally asked about the two green hands. The general in charge of the new recruits who came running over not far away looked miserable. How could the general have the leisure to do this? It was obviously like cutting meat with a blunt knife. It was time to settle the score!
