After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Chapter 291: Be low-key and don't make a big deal

"Of course I came here with my master..."

Yuxiu brought up her master who took the blame again, and also found a better excuse.

"Uncle, you don't know, but my master heard that our soldiers were starving, so he tried to find a way to get food and fodder. I think we'll have news soon..."

She had plenty of food, and when the time came she could just take out some of it, which would not only fill the soldiers' stomachs, but would also make her, the so-called master, more convincing.

"Can your master really get food?"

Sure enough, when the topic of food came up, Xu Jinyi's serious expression could no longer be suppressed, and he said in surprise:

"As long as we can get the food, we can pay for the money and transport it back ourselves..."

Others don’t know that Xu Jinyi has been extremely anxious and irritated about food these days.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had people send food later, there were still a hundred thousand troops accompanying them, and with so many war horses confiscated today, the daily food and drink was not a small amount.

"My master is very capable. It's just a little food. It's a piece of cake for him. How can he ask for your money?"

Yuxiu's face was full of pride, and Xu Jinyi couldn't help but smile helplessly when he saw it.

It seems that this girl's master dotes on her very much, otherwise she wouldn't have the calm personality she has now.

Xu Jinyi would never have thought that Yuxiu's confidence did not come from any master at all, but came from herself.

Ever since they learned that Yuxiu's family was the third branch of Prince Ning's Mansion, the Xu Yunzhe brothers had a lot of questions to ask.

Seeing that Xu Jinyi had finally let go of the previous events, the two of them quickly asked the questions in their minds.

Fortunately, after two days of getting along, Yuxiu has become familiar with them. Now they are talking and laughing happily, and there is no barrier between the three of them.

Xu Jinyi was also listening happily on the side. He was looking forward to finding his elder brother as soon as possible and then the day when they would meet Xu Qinghe, their true brother.

However, when he thought of his elder brother, Xu Jinyi could no longer keep the smile on his face.

Although they had always believed that Xu Jinren was still alive, after so many days of searching, there was not even a trace of news, and he knew that the hope was not great.

But so what?

As long as they have not seen Xu Jinren's body with their own eyes, his relatives will firmly believe that he is still alive and well, and must be trapped somewhere, waiting for them to take him home.

"So, it was you who really went to Black Bear Pass in advance that day and helped Second Uncle shoot and kill Prince Hongkang?"

After hearing Yuxiu say that she had been following her master all the way and that her master's kung fu was very powerful, Xu Yunli suddenly thought of the question his second uncle had asked before.

Xu Jinyi was still in a daze, but he immediately turned around and looked at Yuxiu with burning eyes.

"That's right. That day, I followed my master to Black Bear Pass. I heard that the eldest prince was fighting with my second uncle. I was in a hurry and couldn't help but help..."

When this matter was brought up again, Yuxiu felt helpless. Thinking that there was nothing to hide, she simply told the truth. After she finished speaking, she looked at Xu Jinyi timidly, as if she was worried that he would blame her.

"You are such a brave girl. On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes. It's so dangerous. Leave these things to your brothers. You..."

Xu Jinyi coughed lightly. He originally wanted to show off his authority as an uncle and advise his little niece to pay attention to her own safety and not to go to the battlefield all the time. However, he didn't expect that before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by his own nephew.

"Uncle, Xiuxiu is a little girl, but she is much stronger than us. She has only been here for a few days, and she has shot and killed three generals of Beidi..."

Xu Yunzhe's face was full of pride, and he wanted to take Yuxiu's hand and go out to tell the world that this amazing girl was none other than his, Xu Yunzhe's sister.

"My brother is right. If Xiuxiu wasn't a girl, if this achievement was reported to the emperor, she would have at least been promoted to a general..."

After Xu Yunzhe finished speaking, Xu Yunli did not forget to finish off the opponent. The look in his eyes when he looked at Yuxiu was sparkling, and he didn't even notice that his second uncle glared at him several times.

"Nonsense! It's fine to say these things in our family, but if it really gets to the emperor, it might get out of hand and harm your sister."

How could these silly boys know the twists and turns in the court? If a woman wants to become a general, even if the emperor has no objection, other civil and military officials will not agree. If a dispute arises, this girl will be pushed to the forefront.

Besides, do these two silly guys think it's easy to be a general?

No one has noticed that since he became this crappy general, he has been worrying about this and that every day, and his head has become bald. If he returns to the capital after the war, his wife will probably dislike him.

Xu Jinyi felt bitter, but these things could not be explained clearly in just a few words.

"Second uncle, my two brothers, I don't want to be a great general. I am already very satisfied to be able to follow you to the battlefield and satisfy my desire to fight."

After she finished speaking, she deliberately lowered her voice and said:

"My master told me to keep a low profile outside and not to cause any major trouble..."

This time, not only the uncle Xu Jinyi was speechless, but even the brothers Xu Yunzhe and Xu Yunli looked at Yuxiu with strange expressions.

Could it be that this girl has some misunderstanding about the word "low-key"?

It's not a big deal if he can't do anything big. Shooting and killing the eldest prince Hongkang is not a big deal, nailing the second prince Tubaatar to the pillar with one arrow is not a big deal, and breaking into the enemy camp among thousands of troops and taking the head of the King of Shannan is not a big deal, right?

If these words were to reach the ears of the Northern Di people, they would probably be furious.

Never mind, it seems this girl has been spoiled by her master. But it’s better this way, no one will dare to bully her when she goes out.

After they chatted for a few more sentences, Xu Jinyi took out a few small bottles from his arms and laid them out on the table.

"These are all good things. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that your third aunt, Madam Cui, personally prepared them. I'll keep some, and you can share the rest."

This is what Yuxiu asked Qi Siyuan to bring before, but it just arrived here now.

"My Third Aunt is so kind. When you go back, please help us say a few words of thanks to her."

The two brothers had just heard about Xu Qinghe and Cui, so they had great respect for their third aunt whom they had never met.
