Chapter 598: Departure to Jinyang to Deliver Food and Grass

Yang Xianyong went to the palace to find Liu Cong and stayed to have a big drink. During the meal, Liu Cong asked Yang Xianyong if he wanted to be a general in the court of the Han Dynasty. After all, Yang Xianyong had made great achievements in the war when he and Sima Ying suppressed the rebellion, and he was also very prestigious and famous.

However, Yang Xianyong said that because of his leg injury, he was afraid that he could only work as a clerk in this life. His reason was reasonable. After all, even though he didn't rely on crutches to walk until now, he still walked unsteadily. "My third sister refused to let me travel far, saying that I should at least count all the things in Liu Yi's house first and report a detailed memorial to the emperor."

"That's true. Big brother is thoughtful and this is the most appropriate thing to do." Liu Cong followed Yang Xianrong's name and was also very nice to Yang Xianyong.

"The first thing we counted was the granary. It has been sorted and divided into three parts. One part of the fine goods will be sent to the palace, and the remaining two parts, the third sister's intention is to increase some supplies for the Pingyang garrison, and the other two will be sent to the general. Even if Jinyang is taken, the food supply may not be enough, so she wants to send a part as military rations..."

Before he even finished listening, Liu Cong immediately agreed, "Let's do it this way. Anyway, everything in Liu Yi's place is yours now. You can do whatever you want with it. I don't care."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yang Xianyong bowed to Liu Cong politely before leaving the hall. Outside the hall, he met Guanglu Doctor Jin Zhun. The two of them greeted each other politely. Jin Zhun smiled and said to him, "We are all family in the future. Please take good care of me, General Yang."

For some reason, Yang Xianyong really disliked Jin Zhun, so he just bowed politely. He was still wondering in his heart, could it be that he was also influenced by his third sister and only liked men with thick eyebrows and big eyes?

With Liu Cong's approval, the team packed up faster. Yang Xiankang wanted to go with them, but Yang Xianrong disagreed, "The child is still young, you can't go. Yuan Jianshuo and his men are carrying food and fodder, and they have more experience than you. Besides, my eldest brother is going too, so you have to stay in the general's mansion." Yang Xianrong held the child Yang Mudan, with Haitang and Xiao Qiuyue beside her.

She also took these two children to the general's mansion. After all, Mudan also needed maids to serve her, and maybe she also needed a shadow maid, just like she did before. Cui Xi understood Yang Xianrong's intentions, so she also took care of the two children with all her heart.

Yan Niang helped her, and Haitang and Xiao Qiuyue were not too noisy, so it was all right.

"If the girl has a child in the future, we won't have enough manpower." Yan Niang took a look at Yang Xianrong's belly and laughed, "If she gives birth to two or three, I'm afraid the general's mansion won't be able to accommodate them."

"Girl, you should eat more and keep your body healthy so that you won't have to work too hard when giving birth." Cui Xi is an experienced person now and understands the pain of childbirth, so she pays great attention to Yang Xianrong's diet and physical care. She even found a few medical ladies in Pingyang to treat her own postpartum wind on the one hand, and to regulate Yang Xianrong's body on the other.

Yang Xianrong laughed and touched his abdomen secretly. Then he urged Cui Xi to drink the nourishing medicine first. Then he picked up the bowl and drank it while pinching his nose.

Two days later, the food and fodder had been loaded, and the carriage with the Yang family flags left Pingyang City. Yang Xianyong was still quite particular. Although the all-black carriage that represented the great achievements of the Yang family had already fallen into the Luo River, he still found a way to draw a sketch himself and find craftsmen in Pingyang City to rush to make such a carriage. He also made all the flags of the Yang family into black triangles with dark red edges. "I heard that my grandfather used the same set back then."

At this time, Yang Xianyong and Yang Xianrong were sitting in a carriage, heading towards Jinyang. They had already planned to take this opportunity to go out for a walk, and they also wanted to bring out Yuan Jianshuo, Zhang Heng and the other hundred people. Otherwise, staying in the general's mansion all the time would make these grown men feel suffocated. What's more, they were the elite troops of the Great Jin. If they stayed in Pingyang for a long time, they might cause trouble.

Yuan Jianshuo and Zhang Heng were bored after collecting food and grass, so they immediately responded to Yang Xianrong's suggestion. They kept He Jiunian to guard the general's mansion, and even brought out the young generals of the Shaoying Group, at least to train the soldiers.

"Third sister, after arriving in Jinyang, don't move around casually. I think... I'm afraid there are still uncertainties about Liu Kun." Yang Xianyong was discussing military situation with Yang Xianrong in the carriage. Yang Xianrong was eating a small pancake. The weather had been much warmer recently, so she ate more.

"What's in it?" she asked.

"I also heard rumors that Liu Kun was once a brother of Dai Wang Tuoba Yilu. After his failure this time, he must have asked Tuoba Yilu for reinforcements. Tuoba Yilu is old, but his sons and generals are all very powerful. If they really gather troops, Liu Yao - brother-in-law may not be able to resist them."

"So, big brother, you are not here to deliver food and grass, but to be his military advisor?" Yang Xianrong's eyes lit up. She knew her big brother's ability, which helped Sima Ying win again and again, and he was also very powerful. However, because of her identity and her situation, she restrained her edge. With so many changes in these years, and the broken leg, Yang Xianrong has been very worried.

Now that I see my elder brother's appearance, I finally feel relieved.

"Hey, this is my brother-in-law, how can I ignore him?" Yang Xianyong smiled, "Besides, he's so kind to you and the Yang family, he's really kind and thoughtful. He really took great pains to arrange everyone for your wedding... shouldn't I help him out?"

"Help! I must help!" Yang Xianrong nodded immediately.

"Third sister." Yang Xianyong lowered his voice again, and his expression was very serious. "We have been through so many things, and we have already seen clearly who is sincere and who is fake. Liu Yao is really good to you, so don't let him down."

"What do you mean, brother?" Yang Xianrong was stunned, his eyes evasive.

"I'm your elder brother, don't I know that?" Yang Xianyong looked at her beautiful face, his heart ached, and he almost cried again. "Didn't mother ever tell you not to be sincere to others, because she was afraid that you would be hurt, disappointed, and sad... But if you meet someone who is sincere to you, you should also be sincere to them."
