The two main generals were seriously injured, the army was in chaos, and they quickly evacuated. The injured Munuha was unwilling, but he could only let his men take him away. They made preparations for this sneak attack and spent a lot of money and materials, just to kill Shen Yueshan in one fell swoop.
If they caused chaos in the dynasty, they could take advantage of the opportunity to attack, but their attack was ruined by a white-faced young general who appeared out of nowhere. Munuha stared at Xiao Huayong, determined to remember this man deeply. He would get the return of the arrow he shot today someday.
At this moment, Xiao Huayong had already landed on his horse and clasped his fists towards Shen Yueshan who was galloping over: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for rescuing me."
The people brought by Shen Yueshan also caught up. Looking back at his beloved general who was still intact, Shen Yueshan was in a good mood and said, "It is fitting that this humble servant should thank His Highness."
He originally thought it was a small-scale ambush, but only after he and Xiao Huayong broke into Shen Yueshan did he realize that this time was extremely dangerous. If he forced his way in alone, he would definitely be injured, and at least several of his men would be killed.
"Assisting the prince is Yong's responsibility." Xiao Huayong said with a humble smile.
Shen Yueshan looked at Xiao Huayong with a meaningful smile, then whipped his horse and urged it forward.
"Your Highness is so handsome!"
"Your Highness has great archery skills!"
"Your Highness is so brave!"
…
The soldiers following behind Shen Yueshan all flattered him, clasped their fists, and then kicked their horses to catch up with Shen Yueshan.
Xiao Huayong smiled slightly and rode his horse to follow him. They left the canyon. The wind and snow became more and more violent, almost making it difficult to open their eyes. Now they had entered Longyou Road, the territory of the northwest.
They galloped for two quarters of an hour in the snow and arrived at a small town. The men and women in the town all recognized Shen Yueshan. When they saw Shen Yueshan, they came out of their houses and greeted him with their little faces. Some people even brought their six or seven-year-old children and asked Shen Yueshan: "Your Majesty, my child is tough. Send him to the military camp to follow you and protect our country!"
"And me, my family is also strong and can eat!"
"Aqier, you can't afford to raise him yourself, so send him to the military camp and let the prince raise him for you..."
This caused a burst of laughter. Everyone was respectful and friendly to Shen Yueshan. Shen Yueshan was also very open-minded. He even readily accepted the child who was pushed to his side and pinched his arm: "Not bad, strong, but you still need to raise him by yourself. I can't afford it."
"Your Highness, we can't afford to feed him. This kid eats too much!" The middle-aged man spoke to Shen Yueshan very casually.
"Go to the county governor's mansion and ask County Governor Niu why you can't afford to raise your children?" Shen Yueshan said proudly, "I only care about your safety. It is the court's responsibility to ensure that you have enough food and water."
"Your Highness, don't listen to his nonsense. We are all well fed and well-dressed, and we all smile at the benevolence and generosity of the court." It was obvious that a respected person in the town pushed everyone aside and led Shen Yueshan and the others into the house.
I gave them some hot water and boiled some hot goat milk to warm them up.
Xiao Huayong and Shen Yueshan changed their clothes and sat in front of the fire, while the others went elsewhere to rest.
The crackling sound of sparks was particularly clear in the small and quiet room. The bone soup in the hanging pot also exuded an enticing aroma. The bright flames reflected half of Shen Yueshan's face red. "I already know what Your Highness said to my son. I also saw Your Highness's intentions today. To be honest, before today, I had many doubts about Your Highness."
