The First Killer God of the Tang Dynasty

"I'm back now, aren't I?"

Zhang Yang said with a smile, while casually waving the gift in his hand.

A piece of floral fabric, a roast chicken, and a fresh fish.

These items were all destined for Chang'an. Zhang Yang robbed the Black Flag Army and brought two of them back with him.

Looking at these things, Liu Yun'er and Liu Qiao'er were very happy.

It wasn't just a few gifts; the two sisters are now financially secure. However, the things their husbands brought back were incredibly precious.

"Husband, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll go and stew the fish."

Liu Yun'er took the things and quickly went to the kitchen to get busy.

Liu Qiao'er then pulled Zhang Yang into the room to chat about everyday things.

"How have you and your sister been lately? Have any rebels or stragglers come to our town to cause trouble?"

Liu Qiao'er shook her head.

He said to Zhang Yang with a proud look on his face.

"My husband, you don't know, you're very famous now. Those rabble, bandits and bullies don't dare to cause trouble here anymore."

Now when Liu Qiao'er goes out, everyone calls her Second Madam; she's incredibly powerful.

"That's good. I was just worried that after I left, the rebels would come to town to retaliate."

In fact, Zhang Yang had always been very worried about Guodu Town.

Although they are not far apart, it still takes some time to send troops.

The rebels slaughtered the village as easily as autumn leaves. If they really wiped out Guodu Town, even if Zhang Yang returned with his men to avenge them, it would be to no avail.

"You don't need to be afraid, my husband."

As she spoke, Liu Qiao'er pulled her husband into the courtyard and pointed to the tall building not far away.

"My husband, look, that's our fortified town. The villagers are reinforcing it every day. If there's a war, we'll all hide inside. Besides raising the walls, we've also built them with stones. The rebels can't possibly get through."

"Now, we make gunpowder, and we manufacture things like wolf-tooth spears in it. Let me tell you, it's very safe."

Watching Liu Qiao'er talk on and on.

A look of relief appeared in Zhang Yang's eyes; he had always been on tenterhooks.

Unexpectedly, the villagers had undergone a complete transformation from their previous unpreparedness and cowardice.

Now every household has its own fertile land, and everyone is really putting in their best efforts to protect it.

Most importantly, the villagers spontaneously formed a local militia.

There were children as young as ten, women, and even elderly people who would twirl around the weapons when they had nothing to do.

The idea was simply to play a role in resisting the rebels.

Zhang Yang nodded in satisfaction, understanding that the two sisters had played a significant role in this.

"Well done, Qiaoniang, I can rest assured now."

Liu Qiao'er blinked her big eyes, her gaze filled with tears as she looked at Zhang Yang.

"But, but my sister and I are worried about you."

As she spoke, she reached out and hugged Zhang Yang's waist.

"I've heard that the Tang Dynasty is going to fight a major battle against the rebels, a battle involving tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of people. When that time comes, my husband, you must protect yourself on the battlefield. My sister and I only have you to rely on..."

As she spoke, Liu Qiao'er couldn't help but burst into tears.

Zhang Yang quickly reached out and stroked Liu Qiao'er's head, speaking softly.

"Alright, stop crying. I'm perfectly fine. Besides, the enemy that can harm your husband hasn't been born yet. If you don't believe me, just look."

As he spoke, Zhang Yang unbuttoned his coat.

Her skin was smooth and flawless, without a single scar.

Liu Qiao'er chuckled and reached out to poke Zhang Yang's firm muscles.

She said with a grin, "My husband, you are so handsome."

Zhang Yang couldn't help but laugh; he hadn't expected Liu Qiao'er to say something like that.

He pulled her into his arms, looking down at Liu Qiao'er with a mischievous grin.

"It's so beautiful, don't you want it again...?"

"Husband, you have no shame. How can you think about such things as soon as you get back?"

Liu Qiao'er pretended to be angry and turned to run to the kitchen.

"My dear husband, you're being indecent. I'm ignoring you now. I'm going to the kitchen to help my sister cook."

Looking at Liu Qiao'er's adorable back view, Zhang Yang couldn't help but burst into laughter.

In no time, a pot of fragrant and spicy fresh fish was ready.

The roast chicken that Zhang Yang brought back was also steamed.

Liu Qiao'er also brought out a jar of fine wine that had been prepared in advance from the room.

The three of them then happily began to eat.

"Husband, how long will you be staying at home this time?"

Liu Yun'er picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks and put it in her husband's bowl, asking with an expectant look.

Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment and did not answer the question for a long time.

He couldn't stay for long, as there were still many things to deal with at the military camp.

Having just defeated the Black Flag Army, the rebels in Chang'an might get wind of it and take action.

I simply cannot stay at home for too long.

Finally, Zhang Yang held up one finger.

"A month?!" Liu Qiao'er asked expectantly.

Zhang Yang shook his head: "One day."

Instantly, the two sisters' expressions darkened, and Liu Qiao'er pouted, feeling deeply wronged.

Liu Yun'er quickly comforted her, "Qiao'er, you must understand your husband. He is now the military supervisor, not just our husband. You must be sensible."

Liu Qiao'er burst into tears.

"I've been waiting so long, and finally my husband is back! But he'll only stay for one day. I... I can't cry yet!"

Seeing Liu Qiao'er's tearful face, Zhang Yang felt a pang of sadness.

He could only reach out and wipe away the tears on Liu Qiao'er's face, making a false promise.

"Next time I come back, I will definitely stay for a few more days and spend more time with both of you."

In fact, Zhang Yang didn't know how many days he could stay next time he came back, but seeing his wife like this, he was so shocked that he couldn't bear it.

"Okay, let's pinky swear."

Zhang Yang also helplessly reached out his hand and childishly made a pinky promise with Liu Qiao'er.

After they made the pinky promise, Liu Qiao'er smiled innocently.

"I'll go make the bed in a bit. Husband, you should rest early. My sister and I will take good care of you."

Zhang Yang almost choked after swallowing a mouthful of fish.

It's still early.

Everyone says they're impatient, but there's someone even more impatient than them.

Just as the three of them were eating and joking around, a sudden sound of rapid hoofbeats came from not far away.

Zhang Yang's expression darkened slightly, and he slowly stood up.

Wang Lie dismounted with a helpless expression and walked into the courtyard.

He glanced at his two sisters-in-law, and finally had no choice but to bow in respect.

"Brother, Commander Guo and Prince Guangping went to the military camp together and ordered me to come so that you can return to the camp immediately without delay!"

Zhang Yang sighed.

"That's way too fast."
