After a while, a few shadows took off and came to Yang Jiao.

"I haven't seen each other for nearly twenty days, Shaoshang, your complexion is getting better and better, but you smell the breath of freedom?"

Cheng Shaoshang's little face was full of unspeakable color, rushed into Yang Jiao's arms, and said angrily:

"To this day, I really know the danger of the troubled times, even if you have your jade flute to protect yourself, there is no worry about your life, but along the way, looking at the many villages that have been plagued by bandits, I have experienced the cruelty of war."

"Just now, I was hiding in the shadows, watching the traitors treat human life like a mustard, and I wanted to use the jade flute in my hand to make a move."

Yang Jiao replied softly:

"When you went out of the capital this time, it was indeed not in vain, and your heart has grown, and you have finally risen from personal survival to the level of worrying about the safety of the people."

Cheng Shaoshang raised his head from his arms and said:

"I've seen a lot of devastation and tragic things, and if I don't grow some, won't it become an elm pimple."

"Besides, the third uncle and aunt told me such a sentence, born in troubled times, human life should be like a mustard, protect one person for oneself, protect hundreds of people for fellow villagers, protect ten thousand people is the world, and it is the capable person who should not let it go."

"At first, I didn't really understand the deep meaning inside, but as I went through the way, I finally understood something."

When the two were talking, the city gate of Hua County was opened, and under the organization of Cheng Shicheng, many people outside the city gate walked into the county in an orderly manner.

"I haven't seen you for many days, but I've learned not to avoid suspicion, so many people are present, how long do you have to hold it?"

When Cheng Shaoshang heard this, he realized that he was still hugging Yang Jiao, so he quickly let go and took a step back.

At this time, Cheng Shicheng came over and bowed his hand:

"Laohua County Order"

Yang Jiao interrupted with a smile:

"There's no need to be polite, if the old county commander hadn't taken the opportunity to take a stand, closed the city gates, and stalemate with the bandits, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come to the aid in time."

Cheng Shicheng was happy:

"The reason why the bandits attacked Hua County is nothing more than to take the opportunity to ambush on the road of the Holy Tour, so as to start an army, I can't let them get their wish, if they want to seize Hua County, they have to step on my corpse."

"Originally, I also wanted to lead the troops to attract the attention of the bandits, let the soldiers with the best feet in the county break through, and be sure to report the battle situation in Hua County to the Holy Lord, and ask General Ling for support."

"But I didn't think that the gods descended from heaven, used immortal magic to destroy the bandits, and rescued the soldiers and civilians of Hua County, the old man is here, thank you."

Yang Jiao saw that Cheng Shicheng wanted to give a big gift, so he firmly held his arm:

"This time, I was here to relieve the siege of Hua County, why do I need to say thank you, this is the niece of Cheng Zhi, the new county commander who came to take office."

After Cheng Shicheng heard this, his face showed a look of closeness, and he asked Cheng Shaoshang:

"Cheng Zhi and I hit it off at first sight, like father and son, I don't know where he is now?"

Cheng Shaoshang replied:

"The third uncle originally took us to Qing County to visit our old friend county order, but found that Qing County was different from the past, just in case, he led a family member to check, let us come to Hua County first."

When she said this, she immediately looked at Yang Jiao:

"My third uncle and aunt are still waiting for my news, I have to go back quickly, you can accompany me on a trip, okay?"

Yang Jiao's head:

"It's getting late, so I don't have to bother many soldiers to carry the corpses outside the city gates."

With a wave of his robe, the corpses all over the ground turned into powder, and even the blood stains disappeared cleanly, as if the thousands of thieves who were attacking were just a dream.

Cheng Shicheng's face was stunned at this, which was more exciting than watching the bandits commit suicide before.

"The old county order, I hope to arrange a place to live."

Cheng Shicheng shook his head and arched his hand:

"It is natural for public and private to send someone to arrange a mansion."

The next day, at dawn.

Ling Budo led the black armor guard to Hua County, and it was Cheng Zhi who came earlier than him, and after finding out that Qing County was only like a great enemy, and there was no abnormality, he rushed all the way to Hua County.

Inside a house.

Yang Jiao stood with his hands in the courtyard.

"Ziyan, you are still so dedicated to cultivation, using meditation as sleep, and leaving the room early in the morning every day."

He saw Cheng Shaoshang walking with brisk steps, and slowly spoke:

"Didn't you sit cross-legged last night?"

Cheng Shaoshang said suspiciously:

"How do you know?"

Her eyes widened:

"You don't think you're going to peek at me with your senses."

Yang Jiao smiled:

"It's the fluctuations of heaven and earth aura inside and outside your bedroom."

After Cheng Shaoshang heard this, he sighed.

"Hua County has suffered a military disaster, if your father and mother learn about it, I'm afraid they will come non-stop."

Cheng Shaoshang's eyes fell:

"It should be only my father who will come with him after learning the news, and my mother's words will definitely not come with him."

Yang Jiao asked:

"Still have a grudge in your heart?"

Cheng Shaoshang raised his eyes and looked at the sky:

"I really saw the troubled times, and after life and death, although I can understand her, I am always unwilling to forgive her in my heart."

Yang Jiao also looked at the sky:

"Everything has to be compared, in fact, your cousin Cheng Ji is in a more difficult situation."

"She is the only daughter of the second room of the Cheng family, and since she was born, she was disliked by her mother and left to the Ge family to raise."

"For many years, like you, I have never seen my father and mother, even if I later returned to the Cheng family, I have to watch my mother make trouble in the house every day, either treating you harshly, or blaming my father for being incompetent."

"In addition, both Mrs. Cheng and Ge are patriarchal, and Ge sees that Changfang has three sons, and he must rely on Dafang's life in the future."

"Therefore, with Ge's temperament, I am afraid that I will often vent all my dissatisfaction and grievances on Cheng Ji."

Cheng Shaoshang sighed:

"In the past, I thought that my cousin was unlucky, and there was such an unclear aunt on the stall, and it was only when I saw that Mrs. Ge and the aunt of the Ge family knew what it meant to be a blessing in disguise."

Yang Jiao nodded:

"At first, the only thing that Cheng Ji was better than you was that she grew up in your grandfather's house, and the Ge family regarded her as a pearl in the palm of her hand, but now you have been loved and cared for by many brothers and uncles."

"Besides, they all say that Cheng Ji is well-behaved and obedient, but do you remember that she listened to Ge's words?"

Cheng Shaoshang shook his head:

"When my cousin sees that I am hungry, she always takes care of me and brings me some food, even if Ge Shi does not allow her to send it."

"I once overheard Ge Shi saying to my cousin that it was because of my cousin's help that her teaching to me failed."

Yang Jiao smiled:

"That's because she has the same idea as you, has her own judgment, and has formed a completely different style of acting because of your different experiences since childhood."

"You are like a hedgehog, eager to be close to people, but you use the thorns on your body to protect yourself, while Cheng Ji is like a rabbit, gentle and lovely, and protects herself by being well-behaved and obedient."

"And, you all have the same resolute and straightforward qualities."

"You often say that your aunt is biased and spoils Cheng Ji, in fact, this is a kind of rule for getting along with each other, your mother drove the Ge family out of the Cheng family, although everyone was happy, but Cheng Jiao did have a sense of guilt."

"After all, since then, Cheng Jiao's life experience has one more weakness that has been ridiculed by the world, that is, her grandmother was divorced by her husband because of her poor morality."

"In the future, no matter which family she marries into, if there is an improper one, she will be reproached by her husband and daughters just like Wang Ji scolded you for having no parents and no one to educate you."
