"Really?!" Old Madam Xiao frowned in doubt.

"Why do I feel like these two kids are weird?"

She couldn't explain why, but she just had a feeling that these two kids seemed to be hiding something from her.

Xiao Yunzhan smiled.

"Don't think too much, mom. Isn't it a good thing for the children to be happy?"

"I'll give the remote control car to mom to play with later, and then she'll know how much fun it is."

He has become very skilled at playing with the remote control car, but his mother has been busy for so long and has not had a chance to play with it properly.

Madam Xiao pursed her lips and smiled.

"No, keep it for your own amusement."

"I'm busy doing cross stitch and don't have time to play."

Ranran gave her a few sets of cross-stitch, which made her very curious.

Xiao Yunzhan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go back and rest first. Mom, you should also go to bed early."

Old Madam Xiao nodded and watched Xiao Yunzhan leave. After hesitating for a moment, she stood up and walked towards the palace where her two granddaughters were resting.

Looking at her two little granddaughters sleeping with smiles on their faces, Old Madam Xiao smiled.

It seemed that she was overthinking it. What could happen to the child?

As soon as Old Madam Xiao left the room, Xiao Linghui opened her round eyes.

She reached out and hugged Xiao Lingyan who was about to get up, covered her mouth with one hand, and slowly shook her head.

Xiao Lingyan was stunned, then she lay back down, pretended to mumble something, turned over and hugged Xiao Linghui.

The moment Xiao Lingyan turned over, Old Madam Xiao tiptoed to the bedside.

"Whoo~"

Looking at the two children who were still sleeping soundly, Old Madam Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

She had just walked out of the room when she heard the noise and thought the two children had woken up.

It turns out that he just turned over.

After hearing the sound of Madam Xiao leaving again, the two sisters lay in bed for half an hour before slowly getting up.

"Sister, listen, is there anyone outside?"

Xiao Lingyan covered her excited little heart and turned to look at Xiao Linghui.

It was a close call. If my sister hadn’t reacted quickly, she would have been discovered by our grandmother.

Grandma was still so cautious, and she almost fell into her grandmother's trap.

Xiao Linghui got out of bed barefoot, walked to the door, frowned, put her ear close to it and listened carefully.

After a moment, Xiao Linghui looked at Xiao Lingyan with a smile.

"No one's here, you can pack up now."

They had sent away all the palace maids and nannies before going to bed, so as long as grandmother didn't come, no one else would come.

Xiao Lingyan's face lit up with joy, and she quickly got out of bed.

"Can we turn on the flashlights then?"

All the candles in the room were blown out and the room was dark.

Fortunately, their night vision is pretty good, so it doesn't affect their walking, but they may not be able to see clearly when they are packing things.

"Light a candle. Just a little dim light to see."

Xiao Linghui thought about it and decided that it would be safer to light candles.

The light of the flashlight is too bright and may attract other people's attention.

Xiao Lingyan responded, took out a fire starter and lit a candle.

After the room was lit up, the two sisters immediately began to pack their luggage.

........

"Is everyone here?"

Xiao Lingyan rode on the horse and looked around.

Xie Qingheng stepped forward, bowed and said,

"Master, there are 552 people in total, all present."

When the Boy Scouts heard that they were going out for training, they were so excited that they didn't sleep well that night.

At daybreak, the Boy Scouts had already gathered at the city gate.

"It's fine as long as we're all here." Xiao Lingyan nodded, "Separately set off and meet outside the city."

The city gate has just opened, so we must set off immediately without any delay.

But if the Boy Scouts walk together, they will be too conspicuous and easily attract attention.

"Yes!" Xie Qingheng responded and waved his hand.

"Split up."

The scouts immediately dispersed into groups of three or five and walked towards the city gate with a common goal.

After everyone dispersed, Xiao Linghui looked at Xie Qingheng.

"Are all the horses outside the city ready?"

Xie Qingheng nodded, "It's ready. They are all in the farm outside the city. I have arranged for someone to take care of the horses."

"That's good." Xiao Linghui looked at Xiao Lingyan, "Sister, let's go."

"Let's go!" Xiao Lingyan nodded and clamped her legs under the horse's belly.

Xiao Linghui followed closely behind on horseback.

The Boy Scouts were very eager to go out for experience, and within less than a quarter of an hour after the city gates were opened, all 552 Boy Scouts gathered in the farm outside the city.

Xiao Lingyan looked at everyone with a serious expression.

"There may be many dangers on the road during this training trip, and there is a high possibility that you may lose your life."

"If you don't want to go, you can quit now and wait until night to return to the city."

Although she hopes that the Boy Scouts can work together and experience together, she will not force anyone.

Everyone has to control their own life, and she wants to be unwilling.

Xiao Linghui pursed her lips and stood beside Xiao Lingyan to show her support.

The Boy Scouts didn't hesitate for a second and shouted at the top of their lungs, "No regrets!!"

"I am willing to follow the two masters!!"

Xie Qingheng shouted the loudest, his face turning red.

How could he regret going out with his master to gain experience?

He had been looking forward to this day with great enthusiasm, and finally got to follow his master out into the world. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Okay!!!" Xiao Lingyan curled her lips and smiled.

"Now everyone should try to load up dry food, take as much as you can, and hang it on your horse's back."

"After we set out, we won't leave the city, so we must bring enough dry food."

Xiao Linghui calculated carefully, "Each person should fill 100 large meat buns, and eat four a day, which will last for 25 days.

In 25 days, we will almost reach Shuitian City, and then we can go to the General's Mansion to replenish dry food."

"Sister is right." Xiao Lingyan nodded.

"Okay, everyone go to the kitchen and pack the buns. Each person should pack 100 meat buns. Be quick."

Xiao Lingyan waved her hand and led the way towards the kitchen.

After leaving town yesterday and notifying the Boy Scouts, she went to find twenty cooks and had them steam meat buns all night long.

Xie Qingheng was in charge of the horse matters. Every scout had a horse, so all they had to do was gather them all on the farm and raise them.

Otherwise, so many children riding horses out of the city gate early in the morning would easily attract attention.

Each of the children took two cloth bags and rushed to the kitchen to stuff steamed buns into the bags. There were about 50 big meat buns in each cloth bag, and two cloth bags contained 100 meat buns.

The speed at which the meat buns were packed was so fast that the cooks were scared and thought they were being robbed.

When they saw Xiao Lingyan following behind everyone, the cooks' tense hearts finally relaxed.

If it's someone brought by the young master, then there's no problem.
