The men from the grasslands bade farewell to the men from the Northwest of the 6th Combat Brigade. They hugged each other and then invited each other to be guests in the other's territory in the future. All of them were extremely enthusiastic.
Ren Xiaosu and Yan Liuyuan both knew that day would definitely come. At the very least, as long as the two of them were still alive, the Northwest and the grasslands would never have to go to war.
Yan Liuyuan did not plan to participate in the subsequent battles. Now that the outcome was set, the expeditionary army would undoubtedly be defeated. As the new ruler of the grasslands, there was no need for them to risk the lives of their subjects. The most important thing for them to do now was to return to the grasslands and recuperate.
He told Ren Xiaosu that he would be guarding the north in the future. In a sense, the nomads would replace Stronghold 176 and become the first line of defense for the Central Plains in the north from today onward.
If the expeditionary army wanted to advance south again, they would first have to pass through the grasslands.
Before they parted, Sister Xiaoyu tugged at Yang Xiaojin with reddened eyes. "That child Xiaosu has suffered a lot in the past. Now that everything is over, I beg you to treat him well. Feelings are a matter between the two of you. As an outsider, I don't have the right to say anything more. I just hope that the two of you will be well. When you have children, I can go to the Northwest and help you take care of them. "
Immediately, Yang Xiaojin's face turned red. She did not get shy so easily in front of Ren Xiaosu. But for some reason, she felt a little embarrassed when she was around her Sister Xiaoyu.
As for the matter of having children, wasn't it still too early to talk about that?
Yang Xiaojin asked, "Sister Xiaoyu, are you going back to the grasslands with Liuyuan too? I know you must not be used to living there. After all, it's very different from the customs in the South. "
Sister Xiaoyu turned around and glanced at Yan Liuyuan. Then she smiled gently at Yang Xiaojin and said, "You have Wang Fugui, Ms. Jiang, and Mr. Zhang in the Northwest. You have so many friends, but Liuyuan only has me in the grasslands, so I have to accompany him. Don't worry, I heard from Liuyuan that it's actually not too troublesome to get to the Northwest. We can get there in ten days on horseback, so it'll be very convenient for me to visit you."
Sister Xiaoyu continued, "Besides, Xiaosu has become the Young Marshal of the Northwest, it's only a matter of time before the Northwest begins trading with the grasslands.. So I can go with the caravan to visit you guys."
"Mhm, Sister Xiaoyu, you must come," Yang Xiaojin said seriously.
"Alright, I'll go meet up with them now." Sister Xiaoyu said reluctantly, "I can guarantee you that Xiaosu has never liked other girls before. So sometimes, he might not know what girls like and what they like to hear. If he makes a mistake, let me know when you see me again. I'll help you teach him a lesson."
"OK." Yang Xiaojin smiled.
…
After Yan Liuyuan confirmed that he would be returning to the grasslands, he started discussing some serious matters with Ren Xiaosu. Ren Xiaosu called over Zhang Xiaoman, Big Bluff, P5092, Wang Yun, and the others.
However, Yan Liuyuan said, "There are a lot of things waiting to be done in the grasslands. We need a lot of things, such as weapons, vegetables, tea leaves, and cloth. When I get back, I'll get Hassan to form a caravan as soon as possible. They'll bring our goods from the grasslands to trade with you guys. Is that okay with that?"
At this time, Big Bluff was still needed to answer these questions. Big Bluff thought for a moment and said, "That's not a problem. We'll also form a caravan to head to the grasslands."
"Also, there's a serious knowledge gap in the grasslands, so I hope we can send some children to school at Fortress 178," Yan Liuyuan said.
"No problem." The Great Hoodwinker agreed immediately.
At this moment, Yan Liuyuan looked at Ren Xiaosu again. "Bro, I'd also like to send some nomads to the military school in the Northwest for further training. Is that okay?"
Ren Xiaosu immediately smiled. Yan Liuyuan was still as smart and quick-witted as ever. Entering a military school for further training was still quite a sensitive matter, so Yan Liuyuan did not tell Big Bluff about it. Instead, he told Ren Xiaosu as his younger brother.
Ren Xiaosu looked at Big Bluff and said with a smile, "Can I decide on this?"
Big Bluff hurriedly said, "You're the Young Marshal, so of course you can."
Ren Xiaosu looked at Yan Liuyuan and said, "Alright, I promise you."
In the end, Yan Liuyuan still led the nomads back to the North. But before they left, the Wolf King suddenly moved closer to Ren Xiaosu and refused to leave.
Ren Xiaosu was puzzled. Although he had not seen the Wolf King in a long time and they could be considered old friends, why was the Wolf King refusing to leave?
Everyone looked at the Wolf King, while the Wolf King looked at Ren Xiaosu.
After a long time, Ren Xiaosu suddenly took out a bottle of black medicine. "Do you want this?"
The Wolf King immediately nodded!
Ren Xiaosu was shocked. 'Why does a wolf like you always need this stuff?!' However, he still exchanged more than a dozen bottles for the Wolf King in one go. Only then did the Wolf King leave in satisfaction.
P5092 looked at Ren Xiaosu and asked, "Young Marshal, where are we going next?"
"Let's finish what we started." Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, "We'll use up all the ammunition we have on hand and then head back to the Northwest."
P5092 hesitated for a moment before saying, "Although I'd really like to continue helping the Wang Clan hunt down the expeditionary army, it's not really suitable for us to enter the battlefield again now. That's because we're not as mobile as the expeditionary army. It's very easy for us to fail miserably."
"Who says we're not as mobile as them?" As Ren Xiaosu said that, P5092 and the others heard the sound of a steam locomotive emerging from thin air.
P5092 was taken aback. "Young Marshal, are you going to let all the soldiers board the train?"
Ren Xiaosu had also mentioned this before they arrived at Mount Zuoyun. But at that time, what they needed to do was stall the expeditionary army, so P5092 rejected this suggestion.
"Yes." Ren Xiaosu explained, "Although there are only over 1,000 seats in the 16 carriages, it definitely won't be a problem for everyone from the 6th Combat Brigade to board the train if everyone is standing. We won't be fighting the expeditionary army head-on either. We'll just use the steam locomotive to chase after them. We'll leave after we've used up all our ammunition! "
With that, Ren Xiaosu got everyone to board the train. Then the windows of the train were loaded with firearms. It was a very terrifying sight.
Instantly, P5092 felt that the infantry brigade was starting to resemble an armored brigade.
On the train, the soldiers of the 6th Combat Brigade got excited. No one expected Young Marshal to have such a trick up his sleeve.
When the train started moving, Ren Xiaosu saw another group of troops appear in the distance. Leading them were Luo Lan and Zhou Qi.
Ren Xiaosu drove the train to a stop in front of them. Luo Lan shouted, "Are y 'all heading back to the battlefield?"
Ren Xiaosu answered, "Yes, thank you for your help this time. I'll remember your friendship with the Kyung Clan. What do y 'all plan to do next?"
Luo Lan chuckled and said, "I won't be going back with you to get involved in this mess. The Wang Clan might really want to capture me right now. I'll have the nanosoldiers return to the Southwest along the same route we came from. I'll still have to head south for a while, so I'll take advantage of the fact that the Wang Clan can't get away and head south."
"Head south?" Ren Xiaosu was curious.
"That's right. We'll make a trip to Luoyang City first before heading to the Zhou Clan." Luo Lan said, "Um … there's something more important. Do you have any more of that black medicine? Some of my soldiers are injured … you know what I mean!"
Ren Xiaosu did not know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at the nanosoldiers. How could anyone be injured? If he needed the black medicine, he could have just told them directly!
Why did the Wolf King and Luo Lan all come to him for the black medicine before leaving?!
