Xiang An took Zijuan and Zihuaai back to the residence of his Xiang brothers and sisters. They were all generals or people close to generals, so they lived in quite concentrated places.
Zihuai dropped to the back, holding Zijuan's hand. His head was lowered, but he occasionally raised his head to look at Xiang An.
The meaning in that look was unclear, but it made Xiang An feel a little uncomfortable.
Turning a corner at the corner of the city, I met Huang Xiaozhong, the messenger beside Xiang Liang.
"Ah, general, I'm looking for you." Huang Xiaozhong looked very energetic, retreated slightly, and saluted Xiang An.
"You don't need to be polite, the general wants to see me for something?" Xiang An knew that Huang Xiaozhong had been by Xiang Liang's side since he was chosen by Xiang Liang, so Huang Xiaozhong's visit to him meant that Xiang Liang was looking for him.
"The general asked me to bring you a message. After arranging the afternoon training, you will take Han Xixin to the meeting hall. He has some things to arrange." Huang Xiaozhong became serious and told Xiang Liang's order to Xiang An.
"I understand." Xiang An nodded, indicating that he understood.
Huang Xiaozhong bowed slightly, turned around and left. It seemed that he had other tasks.
"This guy can run really fast and is good at equestrian skills. No wonder he is favored by dad." Zijuan shrugged.
"Well. Let's leave quickly." Xiang An's expression became serious. "It seems that the general will make big moves soon. Be ready to leave at any time."
"I will obey the order." Zijuan subconsciously responded with a serious clasped fist, making Zihuai run away in fright.
"Uh - Ashu, you..." Zi Juan looked at Zi Huai blankly, a little confused.
"Ah, I remember, Sister Ahua, you seem to be a general now..." Zi Huai laughed and laughed.
Xiang An's eyes lingered on Zi Huai's hand for a moment, Tong Kong condensed slightly, and then smiled: "Your sister is now the number one female general in the world, don't underestimate her."
Nonsense, there is only one famous female general in the world right now, Zijuan, where can I find the second one?
Looking at the dumbfounded Zi Huai and the blushing Zi Juan, Xiang An laughed twice: "Okay, okay, you can take your brother back first. I'll leave first. There are still many things to do." As for me, I need to go faster."
With that said, Xiang An made a starting motion and jumped out.
Zi Juan twitched the corner of her mouth, shook her head and sighed: "This second brother... Okay, Ashu, let's go."
Zi Juan took Zi Huai's hand and dragged Zi Huai away.
...
Xiang An galloped towards his army, frowning slightly.
"Zi Huai...Xiao Wu is not a simple person..."
He was thin and slightly taller than his sister for a man in his late twenties. He also had heavy bags under his eyes and looked mentally exhausted.
But the knuckles are thick and have calluses that can only be obtained by holding weapons all year round. The most important thing is...
Inside the sleeve, Xiang An could vaguely see scars.
Scar after scar.
"...Forget it, why are you thinking so much? He is Xiaosi's younger brother." Xiang An shook his head, smiled easily, and continued to rush towards the military camp.
...
"That person is Sister Ahua, your second brother? So do you still have an elder brother?" Zi Huai followed Zi Juan and asked.
Zijuan nodded and said as she walked: "In what happened back then, I was rescued from the ruins by my second brother and brought to the Xiang family. My father, General Xiang Liang, adopted me and regarded me as a He raised his own daughter and has been raising her until now."
"Actually, it's not just the eldest brother and the second brother, but also the third brother." Zijuan seemed to notice that Zihuai seemed to care about something. She turned around and touched Zihuai's head with a smile, "They are all very good to me. Ah, and they are not only my brothers, but also your brothers."
"We are siblings!"
Zi Huai looked at her sister blankly, feeling Zi Juan's hand gently stroking her head, and her eyes moistened involuntarily again.
"Sister Ahua, why do you... still like to rub my hair so much? It's all messed up by you." Zi Huai turned his head and pulled Zi Huai's hand away with a smile, wiping it away. Tears hanging in the corners of my eyes.
"You are my younger brother. Isn't it normal for a sister to rub her younger brother's head?" Zijuan simply put her hands together this time and started rubbing her head crazily.
"Hey Sister Ahua——" Zijuan hid quickly.
The siblings had a fight at the door for a while.
Finally, Zijuan stopped with a look of disgust on her face: "You should wash your hair, it's so oily!"
"Nonsense, how long have you been rubbing it? I feel like my scalp is about to be ripped off by you!" Zi Huai held her head against the chicken coop and complained about Zi Juan's atrocities without tears.
The two siblings just stood there looking at each other, and suddenly they laughed in unison.
He smiled so hard that he couldn't stand up straight.
"Ashu, it's so good that you are still alive..." Zijuan took a step forward, hugged Zihuai, buried her head in her brother's chest, and said with a slight choke.
"Sister Ahua..." Zihuai closed her eyes slightly, feeling like there was something stuck in her throat.
"Come on, come in and sit down first! I'll tell you what happened to me these years, and you tell me about yours too!" Zi Juan let go of Zi Huai and dragged Zi Huai into her room.
...
"You go to the East China Sea next." Xiang Liang held the edge of the sand table and said to Xiang An.
"I see, are you stabilizing the rear?" Han Xin took over before Xiang An could speak.
Because he has won many battles with Xiang An, his voice is now quite large and he can talk directly to Xiang Liang.
But he had no intention of switching jobs from Xiang An to Xiang Liang. For some reason, he was particularly optimistic about Xiang An.
"If you are qualified to compete for supremacy, everyone in Western Chu and even all the princes in the world have the qualifications. But if you want to control the world, only you, general." These are Han Xin's original words to Xiang An.
"I'll stabilize the rear, and then, General, you and your eldest brother will go to the north and west side of the river?" Xiang An frowned, "Isn't this a bit too much? After all, we don't know when Zhang Han will move."
"Song Yi can contain him, don't worry." Xiang Liang waved his hand, not caring, "And Wei is still here, so you don't have to worry so much."
"The key is whether we can have a stable rear. This matter will be left to you, Xiang An." Xiang Liang looked at Xiang An seriously, "I will meet with the generals in Xue County in half a month. You leave tomorrow morning. , I will ask the people who take over Donghai City to follow you. Can you capture Donghai within half a month?"
Xiang An looked confused.
He thought Xiang Liang was a little too radical just now, but now it seems...
"The last general is willing to issue a military order!" Xiang An knelt down on one knee, with extremely serious and confident eyes, "We will attack Donghai City within ten days!"
