The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1102

Chapter 1102: Chapter 925, Surprise Attack

Along the border where Xiliang shares a boundary with Xiliao, twelve towering and sturdy military towns have been established, with cavalry patrolling daily, granting the people of Xiliang a tremendous sense of security.

Having reclaimed the Dan River and constructed the military towns, Xiao Yeyang has firmly established himself in Xiliang, not only that but also has gained a respectable reputation.

At the Ganzhou Guard, Master Wang was sorting through the reports from the patrols of the military towns, feeling both happy and moved.

He was happy because each military town was defending and training according to the established military regulations, no longer passively defending, but now having the vigor and spirit of true soldiers.

What moved him was how the officers and soldiers were so obedient, because of their respect for Xiao Yeyang.

When Xiao Yeyang first took charge of the Border Army, not to mention others, even he himself thought Xiao Yeyang was just taking advantage of his status. But now, both he and everyone else could see that he had established his footing through his own abilities.

Seeing Master Wang looking pleased, a trusted aide couldn’t help but ask, "Master Wang, what’s making you so joyful?"

Master Wang smiled without saying a word. With a pillar like Xiao Yeyang for the Xiliang Border Army, how could he not be joyful?

With the twelve military towns operating in unison, supporting each other, the Xiliang Border Army finally didn’t seem fragmented like before.

Xiao Residence.

After the military towns began operating smoothly, Xiao Yeyang spent most of his time at the residence accompanying Daohua, only occasionally going out to see the training of the soldiers.

"I see your belly has grown a bit; our child must be getting taller," Xiao Yeyang said, staring intently at Daohua’s belly.

Daohua anxiously pinched the flesh around her waist. "It’s just me getting fatter, Nanny Li said I wouldn’t be showing much at four months."

Saying so, she glanced at Xiao Yeyang.

"After giving birth, if I get fat, you won’t disdain me, right?"

Xiao Yeyang laughed and passed the bird’s nest porridge to Daohua. "You getting plump would be great; I love how you look chubby."

Daohua took a sip of the porridge and gave him a sideways glance, not believing a word he said.

Xiao Yeyang watched Daohua with a smile. Seeing her face get rounder, reminiscent of her childishly cute appearance, he couldn’t resist reaching out to pinch those soft cheeks. As Daohua glared at him, he quickly withdrew his hand.

"I have some free time today; let me paint a portrait for you."

Daohua hastily put down the porridge bowl and nodded, "Sure, sure. Just paint me as I am now, so I can always see what I looked like while pregnant."

Xiao Yeyang, seeing Daohua so enthusiastic, smiled and asked Dufu to prepare the paper, brushes, and paints.

In the room, the charcoal brazier burned, warding off the chill from outside. Xiao Yeyang stood behind the desk, his brush constantly sketching, occasionally lifting his eyes to look at Daohua.

After sitting for a while, Daohua became restless, stood up for a walk and seeing Xiao Yeyang not objecting, picked up a pair of scissors and began to trim the fresh flowers in a vase.

"It truly has become rounder."

Once the painting was done, Daohua couldn’t wait to take a look. "My face and body have gotten rounder," she said, looking at Xiao Yeyang, "Next month you must continue painting me. I want to keep a record of my changes throughout pregnancy."

Xiao Yeyang laughingly agreed: "That’s a great idea."

Just then, Dufu’s voice, slightly panicked, rang from outside the door: "Master, it’s not good. The Xiliao Cavalry has launched a surprise attack on Xintunwei’s New Middle Town."

Xiao Yeyang’s expression turned stern: "I’ll go have a look. Keep the painting safe."

Daohua nodded quickly and brought him the Crane Cloak. "Be careful."

Seeing the worry in Daohua’s eyes, Xiao Yeyang embraced her tightly: "Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon."

Watching Xiao Yeyang stride away, Daohua lost the desire to look at the painting. She instructed Guyu to put the painting away and stood by the window, watching the snow flurries in the courtyard.
