Chapter 1003 Let us go and wipe them out!
As the plane slowly descended over the border town, the sun was still high in the sky, not yet set.
Crown Prince Bei Jinheng of the Northern Yue Kingdom looked up at the sky and, seeing that it was still early, briefly discussed the matter with King Yan, Bei Jinyan. They then decided to set off for Ancheng, the border city of their kingdom, that very day.
According to the time, they should be able to reach Ancheng before sunset.
So the two of them, along with their accompanying envoys, bid farewell to Crown Prince Chu Chenxiao of Western Chu, Prince Chu Chenjing, Princess Ouyang Yunyao, and several ministers, and boarded the carriage that had been waiting for them at the border city.
The carriage, guarded by armored soldiers wielding long spears, left the border city of Western Chu and headed towards Ancheng of Northern Yue.
Watching the Northern Yue Kingdom's delegation depart, Chu Chenxiao turned to Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao beside him and said gently, "Third brother, third sister-in-law, we should also set off back to the capital tomorrow."
“Brother is right, we really should go back.” Chu Chenjing nodded in agreement.
Chu Chenxiao pondered for a moment, then said, "In that case, let's go to General Ouyang's camp now. We need to discuss the border trade matter in more detail."
Upon hearing that they were going to the military camp, Ouyang Yunyao quickly said to Chu Chenxiao, "Your Highness, then I will not go with you. I will return to my residence first."
"Alright, Third Sister-in-law, be careful on the road. Have the guards escort you back to the General's Mansion." Chu Chenxiao nodded in agreement.
Chu Chenjing gently patted Ouyang Yunyao's head and looked at her tenderly, saying, "Yaoyao, be careful on your way back. I'll have Chu Feng and Wei Lei take you back." With that, he helped her into the carriage.
“Ah Jing, this is a border town, there’s no need to be so nervous. Let Chu Feng go with you.” Ouyang Yunyao met his gaze and said with a smile.
"We must not be careless," Chu Chenjing insisted, and finally instructed Wei Lei and An Yi to escort Ouyang Yunyao and her two maids back to the General's Mansion.
After her carriage had driven far away, he and Chu Chenxiao led the envoys onto the carriage and headed towards the military camp.
As Ouyang Yunyao, along with Mei'er and Xiao Lü, stepped off the carriage and into the gates of the General's Mansion, a familiar voice called out from behind:
"Yao'er." She turned around abruptly and saw her second brother, Ouyang Yunxiang, and third brother, Ouyang Yunhan, walking in side by side from outside the mansion.
"Third brother, why didn't you go to the military camp today?" Ouyang Yunyao was stunned for a moment, and asked with a hint of doubt as she looked at her two older brothers who had walked up to her.
Ouyang Yunhan explained with a smile, "I'm off today, so I accompanied my second brother to the street to look at our shop."
"Oh?" Ouyang Yunyao's eyes lit up, and she turned to Ouyang Yunxiang. "Second Brother, is the shop all set up?"
Looking at his little sister's excited expression, Ouyang Yunxiang nodded proudly: "Everything is ready, and it's already open for business! You should go and take a look."
"Okay! Let's go take a look tomorrow morning. We're heading back to Kyoto this afternoon."
"Leaving tomorrow afternoon?"
The three of them walked into the hall chatting and laughing. The maidservant hurriedly stepped forward and served them freshly brewed hot tea, filling the hall with a faint fragrance.
Ouyang Yunyao picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and then stood up: "Second brother, third brother, you two chat first, I'm going to the backyard to see my mother."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Yuxin rushed in from outside the hall with two maids, her face full of anxiety. "Yao'er, you're finally back!" She grabbed Ouyang Yunyao's hand and looked her up and down.
"Why are you alone? Where are Prince Jing and the others? Did something happen to you in Danyan Kingdom?"
Ouyang Yunyao felt a warmth in her heart, took her mother's hand in return, and smiled with her big, blinking eyes, saying, "Mother, we're all fine, don't worry. How did you know I was back?"
“Madam had already informed the guards at the gate, telling them to inform them as soon as they saw you return,” said one of the nannies beside her mother.
Ouyang Yunyao then felt her mother's love even more. She couldn't help but call out, "Mother..."
Yan Yuxin patted the back of her hand, her heart finally at ease. Then she pulled Ouyang Yunyao to sit down on a chair nearby and asked curiously.
"Yao'er, why are you back so soon? Didn't you say you were going to attend the wedding of the Crown Prince of Danyan Kingdom?"
"Mother, this is a long story, I'll tell you about it later." Ouyang Yunyao leaned on her mother's shoulder and acted coquettishly.
Yan Yuxin affectionately tapped her forehead, then turned to the maid and instructed, "Go and bring the freshly made osmanthus cake from the kitchen."
A moment later, the maid brought in a plate of sweet-smelling osmanthus cakes. Yan Yuxin looked at her daughter with loving eyes: "Yao'er, are you hungry? Have some osmanthus cakes to tide you over."
"Mmm!" Ouyang Yunyao picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. The soft, sweet taste instantly filled her taste buds. Her eyes lit up, and she mumbled through her mouth, "Mom! It's so delicious!"
"Eat more if you like it," Yan Yuxin said with a smile. "After you finish eating, take a shower first, and then come back for dinner later."
“Okay!” Ouyang Yunyao obediently agreed, ate a few more pastries, and after exchanging a few words with her mother and brothers, she was urged by Yan Yuxin to go to the backyard.
As night fell, the lanterns in the general's mansion lit up, casting a warm yellow glow over the entire residence.
At dinner time, Ouyang Xiao and Chu Chenjing returned to the mansion together. Crown Prince Chu Chenxiao and the ministers of the delegation followed them to the General's Mansion, with several of General Ouyang's deputies following behind them.
When everyone entered the dining hall, Yan Yuxin had already ordered the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous feast, which was steaming hot and filled the table.
After dinner, everyone moved to the front hall, where, in the flickering candlelight, maids served tea. They sat together and began to talk about what had happened in the Danyan Kingdom.
After hearing what everyone had said about what happened in Danyan Kingdom, Ouyang Xiao slammed his hand on the table, making the teacups jump and spill tea. "That old thief dared to treat the envoy like that! He's utterly depraved!"
"General, how dare they?" Ouyang Xiao's deputy general, Xiao Qingcheng, was terrified. Those were the Crown Prince, Prince Jing, and Princess Jing! "Fortunately, Princess Jing and the others had the giant iron bird and the divine weapon, otherwise..." He dared not imagine.
"Your Highness, Prince Jing, General! Let us wipe them out!" Deputy Commander Fan Dahai shouted angrily.
Sitting next to Ouyang Yunyao, Yan Yuxin listened to this thrilling scene and became extremely frightened. She held Ouyang Yunyao's small hand tightly and refused to let go.
Although she knew that her daughter was now capable, possessing a giant iron bird and a magical artifact, she still did not want her daughter to take any risks.
Ouyang Yunyao whispered to her mother, "Mother, don't worry, we are prepared."
At this moment, Crown Prince Chu Chenxiao also waved his hand and said:
"Generals, rest assured, we have long been prepared for the ambitions of the Dan Yan Kingdom. Now their country is severely weakened, and they are incapable of dealing with us without our intervention."
Upon hearing this, General Ouyang finally smiled. "Your Highness is right! They have been severely weakened this time and dare not covet my Western Chu Kingdom again!"
