Chapter 186: But what can we do about it: our general is a dull person!
"If I say I am willing to accompany you to the northwest, would you agree?"
Xiao Mu's heart trembled slightly, and he gently let go of Liu Yunniang, looked into her eyes, and said seriously,
"Yunniang, I don't want to. I have been guarding in the northwest for many years. It is my home to me, more like my home than the general's mansion in the capital. If it were normal times, I would be very happy if you said this. But now, I don't want to, and I won't take you to the northwest. I want to protect the people of Wei, but you, Xiaoxiao, are the one I want to protect."
Liu Yunniang's eyes were slightly red, but she bit her lower lip stubbornly.
"Xiao Mu, you are so cruel. How can I wait for you in Beijing with peace of mind after you said that? Why do you want me to care about you more and more?"
Xiao Mu wiped away the tears that were about to fall from Liu Yunniang's eyes with a distressed look.
"Yunniang, it will be very soon. You are running Su Jinge in Beijing, and Xiaoxiao is accompanying you. Time will pass quickly. I will be back next year, and I will definitely fulfill my promise then."
Liu Yunniang shook her head slightly, but couldn't bear to say anything else and make him worry.
"What time are you leaving tomorrow?"
Liu Yunniang had tears in her eyes as she stared at Xiao Mu, and he didn't know how to tell her for a moment.
"Yun Niang......."
Seeing this, Liu Yunniang was startled and spoke in a hurried tone.
"Tell me the truth. At this point, are you still lying to me?"
"Yun Niang......."
Xiao Mu opened his lips slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then told the truth.
"Leave at 7:00 tomorrow morning."
"Xiao Mu, you are awesome! If I hadn't suddenly decided to come to your general's mansion tonight, I would still be kept in the dark tomorrow!"
When Liu Yunniang heard this, she felt an irrepressible annoyance in her heart.
She knew very well that the military situation was urgent at the moment and that no delay was allowed, but emotionally she could not accept such a hasty farewell.
She stared at Xiao Mu deeply, her eyes filled with complex emotions, including reluctance, worry, and a hint of imperceptible anger.
Then, she turned around resolutely and walked hurriedly towards the study door.
"Yun Niang, what are you doing..."
Seeing this, Xiao Mu thought she was angry with him and wanted to leave. He couldn't help but feel worried. He frowned slightly and hurried forward to hold her.
Liu Yunniang did not turn around, but just said coldly,
"I have something to give you. Let go of me and I'll come right over. Just prepare for tomorrow's trip."
After she finished speaking, she brushed his arm away, reached out to open the door, and left with firm steps without stopping for a moment.
Xiao Mu stared at his empty palms, somewhat confused about what Liu Yunniang was thinking.
Did Yunniang leave in anger?
Or is there really something you want to take back for yourself?
Xiao Mu quietly looked at Liu Yunniang's gradually receding back, and his heart was like a pot of overturned five flavors, with all kinds of feelings surging into his mind.
"Mrs. Liu..."
Mo Feng and Mo Yu were waiting at the door, but they saw Madam Liu suddenly open the door and leave.
No matter how you look at it, that figure looks like one that is furious and unable to calm down.
Mo Feng and Mo Yu felt nervous when they saw Liu Yunniang leave angrily.
Mo Feng looked at Xiao Mu worriedly and asked cautiously,
"General, is Madam Liu angry with you?"
Xiao Mu frowned and was uncertain for a moment.
"......"
Seeing that his general was still standing there, Mo Feng said with some regret,
"General, my wife left in anger, why didn't you chase her?"
Mo Yu also looked worried.
"General, if Madam Liu leaves like this, will she..."
Xiao Mu's heart trembled, and he could no longer stay here after hearing what these two said.
"She said she had something to give me. Maybe she really went back to get it?"
Mo Feng was not so optimistic. Women always say one thing and mean another. The lady must be angry and is waiting for the general to coax her. But unfortunately, his own general is a stupid person!
"General, Madam Liu loves you deeply. She must be upset that you are leaving so suddenly. How about you go with her and take a look?"
Xiao Mu pondered for a moment and shook his head.
"No need for now, you guys don't have to stay here, hurry up and pack your things! Other things are not important, but you have to take all the newly made weapons with you. These things should come in handy when the time comes."
Gunpowder is extremely powerful, but it is not easy to carry after all. In recent days, Xiao Mu has been studying how to make weapons that are easier to carry, and these days, he has finally achieved some results.
The matter between him and Yunniang can be put aside for now. If these things are not explained clearly, he is afraid that he will not be able to feel at ease.
Seeing that his general was thinking about the war, Mo Yu couldn't help but say,
"General, do you trust Madam Liu so much?"
Xiao Mu interrupted him.
"I'm worried, but I trust her more!"
Mo Feng and Mo Yu looked at each other and silently prayed for their general in their hearts, hoping that the general's wish would come true and not to really make Madam Liu angry!
Liu Mansion.
Liu Yunniang took light steps, and in a flash, she had used her lightness skills to arrive at Ye Xiaoxiao's yard.
At this time, Ye Xiaoxiao was preparing to go to bed. When she saw her mother rushing in with an anxious look on her face, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.
"Mother, it's so late, has something happened?"
Ye Xiaoxiao tilted her head and asked with concern.
Chunxi also looked at his wife with a face full of worry, but considerately did not say a word.
Liu Yunniang looked at Chunxi and whispered,
"Chunxi, go down and have a rest! I have something to say to Xiaoxiao."
Chunxi didn't ask any more questions and retreated obediently.
Liu Yunniang walked quickly to Ye Xiaoxiao's bed, held her hand tightly, and said in an anxious and flustered tone,
"Xiaoxiao, General Xiao will be heading to the northwest tomorrow morning. The war in the northwest is intense and dangerous, and mother is really worried. Do you have any magic medicine in your space that you can let Uncle Xiao take with you for self-defense?"
Ye Xiaoxiao was very smart, and she immediately understood what her mother meant when she heard what she said.
She nodded gently, waved her small hand gracefully in the air, and in the blink of an eye, she began to take out small boxes.
One, two, three, four, five, six...
Liu Yunniang just watched Ye Xiaoxiao take things out continuously as if she was taking out a treasure pot.
When Ye Xiaoxiao's large bed was filled with boxes of various sizes, Liu Yunniang was a little stunned.
"Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?"
Xiaoxiao's action doesn't seem to be a spur-of-the-moment idea, but rather it seems to have been prepared long ago.
"Mother, look, this is the healing medicine I carefully prepared. The effect of this medicine is extremely magical. Even if the injury is serious, it can quickly stop bleeding and heal the wound quickly after taking it. And this, this is a pill that can greatly enhance physical strength and endurance. After Uncle Xiao takes it, he can always maintain sufficient energy on the battlefield and deal with various difficult battles. These are detoxification pills, these are repair pills, and these are..."
