Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child

Chapter 640 Raid

The houses of Yu Nianyou and Xiao Juan are right next to them, turn left and walk for a few steps.

Two acquaintances stood at the door.

It was Xiuyan and Ling Hai who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

When they saw Yu Niaoyao and Xiao Juan, their eyes immediately turned red.

Nanny Xiuyan looked much older. She used to have hair mixed with white silk, but now it has become completely white, and she has lost a lot of weight.

"The old slave pays homage to His Royal Highness, the Princess of the County."

After she finished speaking, she knelt tremblingly.

Yu Niaoyou hastily stretched out her hand to support him: "They are all from my own family, so there is no need to be so polite."

Mother Xiuyan looked at Yu Niaoyou first, and then at Xiao Juan, with tears in her eyes, but a gratified smile on her face.

"Great, you're all well, that's great!"

During this period of time, Mammy Xiuyan was worried about Xiao Juan and Yu Niaoyou every day, and she couldn't sleep because of it. She could do nothing but pray for the two of them day and night, hoping that they would be safe.

Seeing that they are all well now, Madam Xiuyan can finally let go of her dangling heart.

For a while, Yu Niao and Xiao Juan felt quite guilty.

Xiuyan's mother is so old, she should be enjoying her life at home, but she still has to be burdened by them and is worried all day long.

Yu Niaoyou comforted her with a gentle voice for a long time before letting Nanny Xiuyan stop her tears.

Mother Xiuyan wiped away her tears: "Stop standing here, go in and rest quickly, Xiao Hai, go and boil water for the prince and concubine to bathe, I'll get some food, and I'll be back soon."

Yu Niaoyou called her to stop: "Don't be too busy, we are not hungry."

Mother Xiuyan: "How can you not be hungry after traveling around for so long? Don't worry, my old bones can't do anything else. I can still cook."

Ling Hai followed and said, "I can help Mammy, and I won't tire Mammy."

Seeing their insistence, Yu Niao had no choice but to let them go.

The inside of the small wooden house is very simple, there is a bed against the wall, a cabinet next to it, a set of tables and chairs in the middle of the room, and nothing else.

Fortunately, Yu Niao and Xiao Juan are not picky people, they are well adapted to the current conditions.

The bed was covered with quilts, which looked old, but fortunately they had been washed clean, and had been exposed to the sun in the past two days, making them soft to the touch.

After a while, Nanny Xiuyan and Ling Hai came back.

They brought meals and hot water.

The meals are very simple, only corn flour steamed buns and stir-fried wild vegetables, and a pot of pheasant soup.

Mother Xiuyan was a little worried that Xiao Juan would not be able to eat, after all, his stomach has always been very bad.

She didn't feel relieved until she saw Xiao Juan finished a cornmeal bun in two bites without any uncomfortable expression on his face.

Yu Niaoyou asked while eating: "Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, let's eat together."

Mother Xiuyan hurriedly said: "We've already eaten, eat slowly, and call us if you have any orders, we'll go out to do some work first."

After speaking, she led Ling Hai back out.

After Yu Niaoyao and Xiao Juan had eaten and drank their fill, they washed their bodies with the hot water in the bucket, changed into clean clothes, and lay down on the bed to rest.

This time, they slept very peacefully.

...

Under Xiao Juan's arrangement, the shadow guards sneaked into the city in disguise.

After figuring out the nearest place where Chen Guo's army was stationed, they sneaked into the barracks in the dark and found the exact location of the granary.

The next day, Xiao Juan and Tang Guixi led a 100,000 Eastern Expeditionary Army to raid the enemy camp, killing the Chen State army by surprise.

Since Yu Niao could not help, she could only stay in the camp with other old and weak women and children.

She was idle and bored, so she practiced archery in the school yard.

It is said to be a school ground, but it is actually an open space temporarily opened up by the Eastern Expeditionary Army. There are dozens of targets erected on the open space, and the soldiers are trained here on weekdays.

Today they all went out to fight, the school field was empty and very quiet.

Yu Niao drew his bow and set his arrow, aiming at a distant target.

Let go of the index finger, and the arrow flew out with a whoosh, hitting the bull's-eye impartially.

He shot more than a dozen arrows in succession.

The sound of shooting arrows can be clearly heard on the quiet school grounds.

She felt that her arms were a little numb, so she put down her bow and arrow, and planned to move her arms before continuing to practice.

At this time, two little girls approached cautiously.

Yu Niaoling heard the footsteps, looked towards the visitor, and recognized at a glance that these two girls were from Lijia Village, the taller one was called Li Hongye, and the shorter one was called Li Xing'er.

Li Hongye was more courageous, so she spoke first.

"Princess Princess, I am Hongye from Lijia Village."

After she finished speaking, she poked the girl next to her with her elbow, implying that she should speak up quickly.

The other girl whispered authentically: "My name is Xing'er, Li Xing'er."

Yu Niao smiled slightly: "I know, I still remember you."

Hearing this, both of them were overjoyed.

I thought that little people like them, the princess of the county would not take them to heart, but I didn't expect that she would still remember them.

This is a great encouragement to them.

The expressions of both of them became excited.

Yu Niao asked: "Is there anything you can do with me?"

Li Hongye rubbed his hands in embarrassment: "We saw you shooting arrows here just now, so we came over to take a look out of curiosity. I didn't expect your archery skills to be so good. I know that our request may be presumptuous, but I still want to ask you, can you teach us archery?"

Yu Niaoling was stunned.

She didn't expect the other party to make such a request.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Li Hongye and Li Xing'er felt uneasy.

Li Xing'er wanted to retreat a bit, but Li Hongye refused to give up, she bit her lower lip, and as soon as she gritted her teeth, she knelt down to Yu Niaoyao.

"Please teach us, we are willing to treat you like a cow!"

Yu Niaoyou helped her up: "You don't have to do this, it's not impossible for me to teach you archery, but you have to tell me, why do you want to learn archery?"

Hearing that she was willing to teach, Li Hongye's eyes lit up immediately, and she hurriedly replied.

"Almost all the males in our Lijia Village have died, and the young people who are still alive are almost all girls. If we want to avoid being bullied, we can only find ways to learn some skills to save our lives."

Li Xinger nodded vigorously to express her agreement.

Yu Niaoyao made it clear: "That's it, when do you plan to start learning?"

Li Hongye looked impatient: "Is it possible now?":

Yu Niaoxiao smiled again: "Yes."

Pointing to the bamboo basket next to the bow and arrow, she said, "Go and pick out a bow and arrow that is convenient for you."

The two did as they were told.

They are all using bows and arrows for the first time, and they don't know how to put their hands.

Yu Niaoyou could only teach them from the most basic standing posture.

Li Hongye and Li Xing'er studied extremely seriously.

Shen Xu didn't know when he came over.

"Yu Niaoyao, I want to ask you something."

Yu Niao glanced at him: "What did you call me?"
