After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

The busy day was finally coming to an end. In preparation for the expedition tomorrow morning, the general's mansion and the military camp gradually became quiet.

Yan Shouzhuo walked lightly, crossed the courtyard, took a shortcut and headed towards one of the wing rooms.

"Big brother is here."

Yan Shiyan leaned against the door with his arms folded, said something to the inside, then stood up and walked towards Yan Shouzhuo: "Big brother."

"Third brother," Yan Shouzhuo nodded, "Why are you standing here? It's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."

Yan Jinyang's little head appeared at the door, smiling with bright eyes, but he did not pounce on me like he did when he was a child.

Yan Shouzhuo stretched out his hand, picked him up, held him under his arm and walked inside.

Yan Jinyang laughed with joy, hugged his arms with both hands, and flapped his legs constantly.

After he made a fuss for a while, Yan Shouzhuo changed his posture, lifted him up in front of him with both hands, and asked with a smile: "Why is Xiaowu so thin?"

Yan Jinyang was not convinced: "What do you mean by thin? I just grew taller!"

"He has grown a lot taller."

Yan Shouzhuo put him down and greeted the others in the room: "Second brother, fourth sister."

"Brother, come and try Fourth Sister's cooking."

Yan Yuanan stepped aside, revealing the lily, pear and tremella soup that was cooking in the back.

There was a small charcoal stove on the table, and in the copper pot on top, a pot of soup was bubbling, with small lily petals floating in the water.

The crystal clear white fungus was almost melted, the sweet aroma of snow pear wafted out, and the lily-red wolfberries were dotted in between, it was very sweet just to look at.

Next to the table, there were five sets of clean dishes and chopsticks, waiting for him.

The conditions in Yumen Pass were far inferior to those in the capital. Even in the general's mansion, there were no delicacies, and the utensils were just ordinary white porcelain.

But as long as we can be reunited, what does it matter what we eat or what we use?

Not to mention here, even if we are displaced, home is where our relatives are.

"Big brother."

Yan Jinyin took a fresh bowl of soup and brought it to Yan Shouzhuo.

"Sister, please sit down, don't stand."

Yan Shouzhuo patted the empty side of the bench, and Yan Jinyin sat next to him.

Ever since Yan Shouzhe followed Fang Ting on his journey, the five children have not been able to sit down and get together for a long time.

Tomorrow, we will go our separate ways again.

Yan Shouzhuo led people to take the treasure house, Yan Jinyin and Yan Jinyang stayed at Yumen Pass, editing books while waiting for Qu Liang, while Yan Yuanan and Yan Shiyan were to follow the army.

Everyone was too busy during the day to do anything, so they had to get together at night.

Yan Jinyin cooked this pot of soup, which is not only nutritious but also allows everyone to sit down and relax and have a good conversation.

She also learned this trick from her mother.

She really likes the feeling of her mother preparing a table of delicious food and everyone sitting around eating and drinking together. It is very warm and happy.

You can't eat too much at night, otherwise you will have indigestion.

There’s nothing wrong with having some soup, though.

Yan Shiyan picked up the small bowl and stirred it gently with a spoon, waiting for the soup inside to cool down slowly.

He was not born a young master, and he did not feel any discomfort these days because he had no servants to serve him.

With his eyes lowered, there was a faint smile in his eyes.

Great.

Even though they haven't seen each other for a long time and everyone has experienced different things, the brothers and sisters don't feel strange with each other.

Just sitting together, chatting casually about different things they have seen and heard, without any hypocritical courtesies or greetings, it was an atmosphere that only family members could have.

There is no need to pay attention to the logic of the conversation or think about how to phrase it.

Relaxed, casual and comfortable.

What he worried about did not happen.

Yes, as long as our hearts are together, how can we be separated easily even if there are barriers of time and space?

Yan Shiyan was thinking silently when suddenly two pieces of snow pear appeared in his bowl.

He looked in the direction of the chopsticks and saw Yan Yuanan looking at him with a smile in his eyes: "What are you thinking about? You look so absent-minded."

Yan Shiyan shook his head, scooped up the pear with a spoon and ate it slowly.

The sweet fragrance spread across his tongue, just like his mood at the moment.

Opposite him, Yan Jinyin sat with a dignified posture and elegant manners. No matter where she was, it would not affect her demeanor.

Yan Shouzhuo was bending over, listening carefully to what Yan Jinyang was saying.

In this situation, it seems like something is missing.

Yes, it’s wine.

"I have a bottle of fine Western wine in my room. It was a gift from Lord Suo to my mother when we left Guyan. Go get it now."

In the mayor's mansion of Juyan City, there were stored a lot of jewels, gold wares and other items that Pabala had looted over the years. There were five or six full boxes of gems of various colors alone.

When leaving, Yan Changqing only took a small portion to distribute to the soldiers as military supplies and pensions.

From ancient times to the present, most of the wars in the world have been fought for the purpose of plundering resources and wealth.

Both the Northern Rong and the Tubo had the habit of invading the territory of Dajing to plunder. Small groups of cavalry crossed the border to the Han villages, robbed food and women, burned, killed, looted, and then left with the wealth.

Conquering cities and seizing territories is no exception.

By occupying a city, you can obtain the wealth accumulated in that city.

The soldiers would put anything valuable they saw into their pockets before the military clerks arrived. These were the spoils of war they had obtained.

In the military, this is an unwritten rule, and most generals acquiesce to it.

Otherwise, who would be willing to work for you?

What's more, when a brutal siege is over, the commander will order a massacre in the city to allow the soldiers who have been killing each other on the battlefield to release their emotions and avoid chaos in the camp.

The situation in Juyan City was different. Originally, we just wanted to rescue Qin Yaoguang, but we didn’t expect to take the opportunity to capture the city.

Since it was not an official military operation, there were no clerks accompanying the army to record the spoils of war and military achievements.

This part of the work was taken on by Qin Yaoguang on his own initiative.

In other words, the amount of spoils depends on just one word from Qin Yaoguang.

Qin Yaoguang is not a materialistic person, and neither is Yan Changqing.

Of course, they are not lacking.

Two people have a common goal, and it has nothing to do with money.

Here in Hexi, there is a lot of work to be done and more lost territories are waiting to be recovered. Suojibu needs this wealth more than they do.

After discussing with Suojibu, the harvest was divided into three parts: one part was given to Suojibu, one part was recorded and sent back to the national treasury in the capital in the future, and the last part was carefully selected treasures escorted by a special person and presented to the emperor as a tribute.

They themselves left nothing behind.

Suojibu felt bad for them, so he took out one of the boxes of treasures and gave it to the two men together with other local specialties before they left.

This bottle of wine is one of them.

Qin Yaoguang took the lead and asked the trusted guards who had followed the two of them all the way to choose a gift each, and Yan Shiyan chose this bottle of wine.

When selecting, he just thought the wine had a beautiful color and was rare in the Central Plains.

I didn't expect it would come in handy tonight.

"I'll get the glass."

Yan Jinyin said this and was about to stand up.

"I go."

Yan Shouzhuo held her hand and said.
