I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

"Yes." Xiao Yunyou nodded, "Third brother is right. This year, fourth brother, you really must spend the New Year in the capital with the civil and military officials to stabilize the hearts of the subjects."

Good third brother, he knows how to help him at the critical moment.

Xiao Yunzhan listened to his two brothers singing the same tune, and his face fell.

"Then you are not allowed to leave either. There are still five days until New Year's Eve. We can't just have mom and I at the family dinner."

"This is also the first year since you reunited with your sisters-in-law and two nieces. It would be inappropriate not to spend it together."

Since he can't leave before the New Year, then no one should leave. Wait until after the New Year, and then he will find a way to keep his second brother.

My second brother is so smart, how could he not be able to supervise a country?

Ranran told him about the situation on her brother's side, and everything went smoothly.

Ranran is now traveling around various cities in Xiliang Kingdom to eliminate the remnants of the Wu Ma family.

He felt so distressed when he thought that Ranran would have to travel outside during the New Year.

"......" Xiao Yunyou glanced at Xiao Yunchao and slightly curled the corners of his lips.

It seems hard to refuse this.

Xiao Yunchao raised his hand and scratched his head, smiling innocently, "Fourth brother is right, let's wait until after the New Year to go."

Xiao Yunyou frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Yunzhan.

"How's the battle going on there, brother? Do you need support?"

If the situation on eldest brother's side is stable, then we'll wait until after New Year's Eve.

It would take them at least a month to get to the eldest brother's place now, so these few days wouldn't make a difference.

When Xiao Yunchao heard this, he looked at Xiao Yunzhan eagerly.

His fourth brother's wife didn't tell him much about the war, she just said everything was going well.

He also wanted to know how far his fourth brother's wife was from the imperial capital of Xiliang Kingdom.

Xiao Yunzhan reached out and grasped the steaming teacup on the table. He lowered his eyes to glance at the tea leaves swaying in the cup, and smiled softly.

"Brother and General Cong have fought side by side and have captured four cities in succession. There are only four more cities left to go before we reach the Imperial City."

"What!?" Xiao Yunchao widened his eyes in shock.

"Brother, have you persuaded General Cong to rebel?"

"General Cong has been guarding Xinyue City for so long, how could he be easily turned against?"

That's General Cong, who loves his soldiers like his own sons and regards protecting the people of Xiliang as his lifelong mission. How could he possibly betray Xiliang?

Xiao Yunyou also looked at Xiao Yunzhan with surprise, "Fourth brother, do you know the inside story?"

If he were to ask which general of Xiliang Kingdom he admired the most, it would definitely be General Cong.

General Cong is the sworn enemy of the Xiao family. They are both guarding the borders of their respective countries and have been fighting against each other for more than ten years.

After so many years, we have developed a feeling of mutual appreciation.

Thinking that his elder brother was going to attack Xiliang and would inevitably have a fatal battle with General Cong, he was worried for a long time.

Unexpectedly, my eldest brother and fourth brother's wife actually thought of a way to incite General Cong to rebel.

No wonder my brother and the others never asked for reinforcements.

General Cong also has a lot of soldiers under his command. When the two armies join forces, there are still 300,000 or 400,000 troops.

"I know a little." Xiao Yunzhan nodded.

"At that time, the Wu Ma family and General Shi..."

Xiao Yunzhan told Lin Yiran the news he had gotten from her without missing a word.

"This is what happened. The Queen of Xiliang is afraid of the Wu Ma family, so she wants to sacrifice General Cong."

"You all know that General Cong was unwilling to hand over his soldiers to the Wu Ma family and Shi Qiang, so he surrendered to my eldest brother and Ranran."

Xiao Yunyou nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "The right time, right place, and right people have all come together, and the fate of Xiliang Kingdom should also come to an end."

"He who knows the current situation is a hero. General Cong saw things clearly at the critical moment."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Xiao Yunchao echoed, "General Cong is a good general."

"Yes." Xiao Yunzhan smiled, "Brother, bring General Cong with you to attack the city together. We are like a tiger with wings, and we are unstoppable."

"The four cities were conquered very easily. Before the army even reached the city gates, the people on the city gate towers were waving white flags in surrender."

"The main reason is that the drought in the cities of Xiliang was very serious. The cities were completely unable to resist and simply surrendered."

"Especially because they know that if the city surrenders, there will be a large amount of food and water to solve the people's survival problems, so they all hope that big brother and his men will attack quickly."

Xiao Yunyou laughed when he heard this.

Still the original recipe, still the familiar taste.

Why have all the rebellious heroes since ancient times appeared in years of famine? It is because the people cannot survive without rebelling.

"As long as everything goes smoothly, according to the speed of my eldest brother and my fourth brother's wife, we should be able to take over the Imperial City in just over a month."

"Ah~" Xiao Yunchao sighed, "My eldest brother and my fourth brother's wife can only celebrate the New Year on the march. It's a bit lonely for just the two of them."

At this point, Xiao Yunchao's eyes lit up, and he looked at Xiao Yunzhan slyly.

"Fourth brother, how about we ask the God King to grant us a flying mount, take us to celebrate the New Year with our fourth brother and sister, and then send you back after the New Year."

My fourth brother’s wife’s mount is very powerful and can get from the capital to Shuitian City in half a day.

Then it would only take half a day for them to fly from the capital to their fourth brother's wife.

Thinking of the flying mount's incredible speed, Xiao Yunchao couldn't help but get excited.

Xiao Yunyou's heart moved, and he secretly gave his third brother a thumbs up.

Yes, if I could get the King of Gods to grant me a flying mount, I could fly to reunite with my eldest brother and fourth younger brother’s wife.

Xiao Yunzhan was stunned, and drooped his eyelids evasively. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his eyelids and looked at Xiao Yunchao seriously.

"Third brother, the God King has helped us enough. We can't always ask for help from the God King for everything."

"Now the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and everything is going well for my eldest brother Ranran. This is all because of the blessing of the God King. How can we trouble the God King just to celebrate the New Year together?"

"From now on, we should find ways to handle things on our own if we can, but we can't ask the God King for help every time we have something to do. It's not a good thing to develop dependence."

Ranran is already working hard enough, so how could he let Ranran go to the trouble of helping him get a flying mount?

Others may not know that Ranran is the Divine King, but he knows it.

If you don't love your own wife, who will?

He didn't want to cause Ranran any more trouble.

Ranran had recently sent him so much food, fodder, gold and silver to fill the national treasury, and he felt so distressed.

Ranran is such a money-loving person. As a grown man, he always uses his wife's money, and he feels very guilty about it.

After the New Year when Yongchang Kingdom recovers, he will have to save up money to compensate Ranran.

The cheeks of the Xiao Yunyou and Xiao Yunyou brothers turned red after hearing what Xiao Yunzhan said, and they drooped their eyelids in embarrassment.

What the fourth brother said makes sense. They really can’t rely on the God King for everything.
