It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 622 A sleepless night
"It's okay." Yang Xianyong smiled. "General, you are afraid of dogs. Don't go in with me. I'm just bringing them out."

"Okay." Li Lianhua really didn't like these stray dogs.

Actually, these three wild dogs are pretty good looking. They are stronger than the yellow dogs in ordinary farms, and their fur is also very good. Yang Xianyong once raised a dog like this in Tai'an County, so he would also adopt them.

After waiting for him to get the dog out, I checked it and found nothing serious.

"Let's wait until daybreak." Yang Xianyong sighed, "It's hard to see clearly now."

"Okay." Li Lianhua also understood, but it would not be a good influence to have so many people standing at the gate of the government office. Li Lianhua still asked everyone to go back to the government office. After all, there was a large yard here, and the place where they lived had not collapsed, so they could always take a rest first.

Leaving the guards behind, Li Lianhua pulled Yang Xianyong into the room, insisting on checking if he was injured. After all, he had used half of his body to block the rubble for her, so she was very worried.

Yang Xianyong was unwilling to let her check, so he smiled and left the room again. "General, please take a rest first. I'm going to check the weapons I picked up from the mountain today. I'll also check the things left behind by the bandits. Who knows, I might find something."

Li Lianhua pursed her lips, not wanting to force anything. After all, given her identity and her current situation, even if she had any ideas, she had to know what the other party was thinking. Besides, these things over the years have all become unpredictable.

All she could do now was look at him.

Yang Xianyong didn't have time to think about it. He found a wooden stick and limped out, taking the three dogs with him. Most of the people went back to rest, and only his own people stayed in the yard, staring at the hall and not letting anyone approach.

He whispered to Deputy General Yu where the things the bandits had left behind were.

Deputy General Yu led the way for him, and the two of them went straight to the utility room nearby without disturbing anyone.

"There are quite a few weapons and shoes. It probably means to throw away all the weapons and armor, right?" Deputy General Yu liked chatting with Yang Xianyong very much, especially listening to him talk about those records in the meticulously written letters, which was very interesting.

"That's what you mean." Yang Xianyong also laughed. Seeing that there was no one around, he took the three dogs directly into the utility room and let them smell all the things. Then he took out three items at random, including a long knife, a wooden stick, and a broken shoe, and let the three dogs smell them respectively. Then he whispered, "Go out and look around to see if you can find the owner."

Then he took out a few pieces of dried meat from his sleeve and put them into the dog's mouth.

This also stunned Deputy General Yu, who couldn't help but flip up his sleeves and said, "Why do you have so much dried meat in here? I haven't eaten it yet."

"I usually leave it here when I eat." Yang Xianyong laughed and rolled up his sleeves. "Okay, stop watching. Send some people to follow these dogs quietly and see if they can find the owner. But be careful not to alarm them. Just remember who it is."

"What are you doing?" Deputy General Yu seemed to understand.

"Well, it's useful anyway." Yang Xianyong patted the dogs gently and let them quietly leave the utility room. Deputy General Yu didn't have time to ask more questions, so he quickly followed and arranged for someone to keep an eye on them.

When Yang Xianyong came out of the utility room, he almost forgot about the stick he was leaning on, and hurried back to get it. Then, he didn't rush out, but stood in the utility room and looked outside, staring at the broken tiles that had just fallen. Finally, the night was peaceful and he made it to dawn.

Yang Xianyong did not go back to sleep because Li Lianhua was resting in his and Deputy General Yu's room. He stood at the gate of the government office, waiting for his three dogs to come back.

However, the dog did not come back, and the soldiers guarding the city gate ran over quickly, shouting, "Where is Sir Liang? Sir! General Yang! General Yu!"

The shouting scared everyone so much that they thought that bandits were attacking Fengyang City. Even the dazed guards immediately grasped their weapons tightly and put 200% of their energy into it.

"What's going on?" Deputy General Yu's voice was very loud, which scared everyone again. The guards who came over were also trembling with fear, and stammered: "Well... we saw a large army coming... Don't worry, don't worry, it's the flag with the word 'Liu', it should be our Han army, right?"

"Oh?" Deputy General Yu was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Yang Xianyong, who asked, "Could it be that the general has arrived?"

"Well, I don't know either. I just saw it and came here to deliver the letter." The guard ran with sweat all over his forehead. He turned back and pointed in the direction of the city gate. "It shouldn't be too far."

"Let's go and take a look first." Yang Xianyong pulled Deputy General Yu, who immediately understood and had two horses brought over. He then deliberately pulled Yang Xianyong aside before he got on the horse. The two of them galloped towards the city gate.

Someone went to inform Li Lianhua and Liang Wenbao, and the government office naturally became a mess again.

When Yang Xianyong and Deputy General Yu arrived at the city gate, it was not open yet. They were too lazy to go to the tower, so they just peeked out through the gap in the city gate.

It was indeed the military flag with the word "Liu" on it, and the leader was Guo Jin, the deputy general beside Liu Yao.

"Open the door, open the door!" Deputy General Yu's voice was so loud that it made Yang Xianyong's ears start to hurt.

The guards guarding the city naturally recognized Deputy General Yu and Yang Xianyong, so they opened the city gate without delay.

Guo Jin was also very happy to see that it was Yang Xianyong and Deputy General Yu who came out, and he immediately dismounted and came over. Deputy General Yu supported Yang Xianyong again and asked him to get off the horse.

The three of them came together to talk.

"The general and his wife are in the carriage at the back. They are moving a little slower, but they should be here by noon." Lieutenant General Guo hugged the two of them to show his affection.

Seeing this, the guards guarding the city opened all the gates, put away their weapons, and lifted the alert.

"General and Madam, are you in good health?" Yang Xianyong was concerned about his sister, but he couldn't ask so obviously, so he had to ask one more question, "Does the general have enough herbs? It is said that there are many herbs in Black Wind Mountain here."

"It should be OK." Deputy General Guo smiled somewhat ambiguously and whispered, "He was able to carry his wife in and out of the carriage, and even helped her to go to the toilet. Do you think the general's body should have recovered well?"
