Acai's Sky

Chapter 447: War and Iron, Brilliant Years

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

“Flutter, flutter…”

When Sima Zhen heard this, he jumped up from his chair as if he had been sprung up by a spring, and shouted excitedly:

"Little Gray is back! The battle report from the Nanman has also flown back on its wings!"

The little brats from the Sima and Li families rushed out one after another without even putting down their chopsticks.

They were full of joy and prepared to welcome Xiao Huihui's triumphant return, looking like they were welcoming a victorious little hero.

With a loud roar, a huge eagle was seen slowly and gracefully descending from the sky, like a triumphant general.

The eagle's body is as big as a small hill, and its feathers are shiny gray, shining majestically in the sun. It looks so majestic and domineering.

Its sharp eyes scanned the surroundings like radar. When it saw a group of little furry children gathering around it, a hint of disdain flashed in its eyes, as if to say, "You little guys, get out of the way!"

Especially when it saw Sima Yong, whom it had pecked at before, it simply pretended to be out of sight and out of mind, and ignored him directly, as if it didn't know this person at all. It looked so arrogant.

Although the little guys were full of curiosity about Xiao Huihui, since it was too ferocious, everyone could only watch from a distance, for fear that they would be pecked by it accidentally. After all, this eagle was not a vegetarian.

At this moment, the secret guard Xiaojia came flying over like a knight who could climb walls and fly over rooftops, and his lightness skills were so skillful.

He deftly untied the small leather bag tied to Little Gray's paw, and even weighed it carefully, saying jokingly, "Wow, today's cargo is really heavy. It seems that Little Gray must be exhausted. I have to reward you well!"

Xiao Huihui seemed to understand Xiao Jia's words and nudged Xiao Jia with his head, as if to say, "Of course! Look at what treasure I brought back!"

Then it spread its broad wings and flew towards the backyard proudly and proudly, looking so proud.

It had to find something to eat quickly to fill its stomach. After all, it was so hungry that it almost didn't have the strength to fly back.

Seeing this, Xiaojia quickly handed the briefcase to the hurried guard Cai Xinyi, and then disappeared from everyone's sight in a flash, faster than a rabbit.

Sima Yong looked at Xiaojia's handsome back and couldn't help but feel envious. He nudged Sima Zhen next to him and asked in a low voice:

"We've been practicing for several years now, isn't it time to learn some real kung fu from Xiaojia?"

Sima Zhen pulled Sima Yong's hand away in disdain, "Do you even differentiate between real and fake Kung Fu? Xiaojia wouldn't even look down on our mediocre Kung Fu! Better practice hard first, or you'll end up getting knocked down in one blow on the battlefield!"

When I returned to the banquet, I saw General Li opening the letter and reading it attentively, as if he was appreciating a precious painting.

There is also a letter of surrender from the Nanman in the briefcase!

General Li handed it directly to the eunuch Qiao next to him, and his action was so cool.

"Please report this to the emperor directly later. The Southern Barbarians have been dealt with, and their King Lian and some nobles have already set out to escort them back to the capital!" said General Li with a smile.

When Eunuch Qiao heard this, he stopped eating. This was a big deal!

He hurriedly took the memorial and the surrender letter and respectfully saluted General Li. "I will return to report immediately. The Nanman have won a great victory, and their territory has been returned to our Yu Dynasty. This is truly cause for celebration! The Emperor will surely be delighted to hear this!"

When everyone at the banquet heard that the Southern Barbarians had been pacified and all the remaining nobles of the Southern Barbarians had been escorted to the capital, they were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped!

It's only been a month? And they've already defeated the Nanman?

Excluding the time spent on the march, it has only been about ten days since we fought with the Southern Barbarians, right?

It probably won’t be ten days yet!

Is it that the generals of my Yu Dynasty are too powerful?

Or are you Nanman too weak?

Can’t even hold it off for more than ten days?

……

After General Li and others saw Eunuch Qiao off, they returned to the banquet and continued eating.

It was as if nothing had happened.

General Li carefully read the letters, then kept his own copy and sent the rest to his sons and grandsons-in-law. His actions were so cool.

Several old generals drank and smiled as they watched Old Man Li reading the blessing letters sent by his children and grandchildren, their hearts filled with envy.

General Wang Qinian suddenly slammed his wine glass on the table with great force, making a loud "bang" sound, and complained loudly:

"That bastard! There are so many young and promising generals in the army, why did they send him to escort the southern barbarian nobles back to the capital? Anyone could do this job, why did they have to let him do it?"

General Liang Hechang quickly filled his glass with wine and consoled him: "What's the point of being angry? Don't you understand them?

Your grandson must have lost in the rock-paper-scissors game, otherwise he wouldn't be willing to return to the capital to endure this humiliation! After all, the capital doesn't have the excitement and excitement of the battlefield."

The ancient general raised his glass and said, "Old Wang, you deserve some credit for this. At least our grandson has the courage to fight in the battlefield! Unlike you, your legs were shaking when you first joined the battlefield..."

General Liang took a sip of wine and said, "Alright, alright, drink it quickly! This wine will make you feel comfortable all over, and all the hidden injuries will be warmed up. What are you talking about? We are enjoying our life now, so stop complaining all the time."

General Wang clinked his glasses with General Gu and drank the wine in one gulp.

Then he snorted coldly and said, "I'm just worried that he'll regret it in the future if he doesn't catch up with the battle to destroy the Japanese! After all, that's a chance to open a new page in the family tree!"

Which general doesn’t want to go to the battlefield?

If they were of the right age, who wouldn't want to go to the battlefield?

That’s a chance to open a separate page in the family tree!

But now they can only watch the young people fight from behind, and one can imagine the helplessness and unwillingness in their hearts.

However, they also know that they are no longer at that age and can no longer charge into battle like they did when they were young.

Despite this, they will do their best to support the younger generation and hope they can win.

At this moment, these old generals who had once made great military achievements seemed to have returned to the era of war and recalled their youth.

They were deeply moved but could not change the reality.

Now they can only place their hopes on the new generation, hoping that they can continue to carry forward the reputation of the Yu Dynasty.
