On the second day, Shangguan Yu woke up to the sounds of exercise.

Although she was once a daughter of a noble family, as a daughter of a military commander, this kind of voice was not unfamiliar to her.

Nanny Qin pushed the door open and walked in. "Madam, you're awake."

Shangguan Yu stroked his swollen forehead and asked, "Where is this?"

Nanny Qin had a smile on her face, all the wrinkles on her face were smoothed out, and she seemed to be ten years younger, "Madam, it's the young master. He brought people to rescue us here." In fact, she couldn't tell where it was. She fainted last night and woke up in a place called Dashan Village.

"My son, where is my son? Quick, take me to see him!"

"Don't worry, he's still outside!"

The door opened and Xiao Ruyi walked in.

"Yier, let me take a good look!"

Xiao Ruyi looked at her awkwardly.

"Well, you've grown taller and stronger, like a man! Sending you out of the palace may be the best decision I have ever made in my life." Shangguan Yu wiped her tears, and all the worries, exile and fatigue during this period turned into tears.

Xiao Ruyi didn't know what to do. She just stood there blankly, looking down at her toes.

"Look at me, I'm too happy. We've only been apart for a few months, but you've already become estranged from mother. Come and sit here, let's have a good talk..." He patted the seat next to him.

The two chatted about what happened after they separated.

Shangguan Yu asked about what happened last night, but was fooled by Xiao Ruyi's few words.

Her son has grown up and is reluctant to tell her some things, which she can understand.

"Is there training outside? From the sound, there seems to be a woman." Shangguan Yu took the initiative to change the subject.

"Well, recently there have been some refugees sneaking into the village from time to time to steal food, so the village chief asked everyone to practice."

"Then your uncle is busy."

Xiao Ruyi nodded. Indeed, there was no need for him and Song Jixiang to take the lead. His uncle, the general, took the initiative to lead the villagers to practice.

Except for the elderly, all the villagers, regardless of gender, were divided into four pairs to practice.

The little ones who had practiced with Song Jixiang for a period of time before were so happy at this time that they turned their disdain towards their family members and became little teachers, guiding the villagers' movements.

Shangguan Hong ruffled Xiao Ruyi's hair and said, "Okay, kid, are you going to prepare for a national military training? Are you going to rebel against your father?"

Xiao Ruyi raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not impossible." It's just that he has always been thinking about returning to the modern era. He has no interest in the imperial power here. However, he would be happy if he could make that old man who favors his concubine over his wife unhappy.

"Hey, I heard from An Yi that there are 10,000 armored soldiers from the Northern Barbarians heading towards Qingzhou. They might even endanger Yongning County. What are your plans?"

"What else can I do? Run away!"

"Very good, very good. You have really grown up and are not arrogant. " The armored army of the Northern Barbarians is not something that these villagers who have only practiced for a dozen days can resist.

"Uncle, can't you be gentler!" Compared to that strange mother, he liked this uncle who was surrounded by military generals more.

"Since you have made up your mind, we can't let those bastards who came to our door get away with it. Let's play the Empty City Strategy on them and then close the door and beat the dog!"

Song Jixiang, who was standing behind them, clapped his hands a few times and said, "This is a good idea!"

"Jixiang has arrived just in time. Let's have a good discussion." He had a particularly good impression of this girl. She didn't look like a farm girl, but more like the child of a military general.

In the afternoon, the village chief came to see Song Jixiang. When he saw Shangguan Hong, he did not associate the bearded man with the famous General Shangguan. He stroked his beard with satisfaction and said, "It's good that Ruyi's family is here..."

The village chief asked Song Jixiang, "Girl, you taught those kids archery last time. Many adults in our village wanted to learn it. Look..."

Song Jixiang was delighted. This was a good thing. If everyone in the village could learn archery, they would be able to protect themselves in the future when they encountered danger. She readily agreed, "Of course, no problem," but to learn archery, you need a bow. Where can she get so many ancient bows and arrows?

Shangguan Hong laughed loudly. "How difficult is that? Village chief, you have asked the right person. I have someone in my army who is good at making bows. He can make one in two days. It's just that the materials..."

"Uncle, I'll take care of this!" Song Jixiang agreed, and winked at Xiao Ruyi. Xiao Ruyi pouted, calling him that was quite easy.

When the villagers heard that they were going to be equipped with bows and arrows, they all cheered with joy. After nightfall, they followed Song Jixiang's advice and increased the patrol team. Each group of 20 people took turns patrolling the village to prevent refugees or criminals from invading the village.

During dinner, everyone introduced themselves to each other and it was very lively.

Jiang and Shangguan Yu hit it off right away, as if they had known each other for years. They chatted happily and even called each other sisters.

Even the little ones next to them couldn't get a word in.

After dinner, the Shangguan family stayed alone in a room.

Xiao Ruyi asked her uncle and mother about their plans, but she didn't expect that they would insist on going to the place of exile.

"Why?" He really didn't understand why they still made such a decision now that they had escaped from the clutches of those people.

"You don't understand. This world belongs to your father. If we leave halfway, you can imagine that he will put some unfounded charges on our Shangguan family. Our Shangguan family has been loyal to the emperor and patriotic for hundreds of years, and will never do anything to live a shameful life. If we die, we must die on the battlefield. If we live, we must live with dignity. We will never be like mice, hiding in the ground all our lives, not daring to show our heads."

Xiao Ruyi was instantly filled with respect. He didn't understand the ancients' obsession with imperial power, but he understood the persistence of a soldier!
