The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1053 - 883, Hu City_2

Daohua: "Don’t be in such a rush, he really had a tough time this time. Let him rest for one night, and you can meet tomorrow."

Xiao Yeyang nodded, "That’s fine. I made an early return for once and don’t want to waste my time on him." Saying this, he carried Daohua in his arms toward the bed.

"The medicated diet you gave me to drink tonight felt fantastic. My whole body is full of energy now. Continue making it in a few days."

...

After breakfast the next day, Xiao Yeyang met Su Hongxin.

Seeing Xiao Yeyang staring at him with a smile, Su Hongxin thought about how he had been tricked into begging his way here, and felt somewhat awkward, "Little Prince..."

Xiao Yeyang cut him off, "There’s no Little Prince here, either call me by my name or call me Officer Xiao."

Su Hongxin was good at taking a hint and, not having seen him for a few years, didn’t feel any estrangement from Xiao Yeyang. Smiling, he took a seat beside him, "Yeyang."

Xiao Yeyang glanced at him sideways and shook his head with a smile, thinking about how Su Hongxin’s personality was very much like Wentao’s. It was no wonder they were close as children.

"Have you sent the family letter off?"

Su Hongxin nodded, "I have."

Xiao Yeyang: "You came out here without notifying your family. If Old Master Su asks for you to return, I wouldn’t dare to keep you."

Su Hongxin confidently said, "That won’t happen. I came out here to seek a future. My grandfather will only support me."

Xiao Yeyang smiled, "Although I welcome your arrival, I must remind you: on your journey here, you must have deeply experienced the hardships of Xiliang. Are you truly willing to stay?"

Su Hongxin: "Of course. I came because I don’t want to stay at home without achieving anything. Seeing how each of you has your own affairs to handle, I must catch up."

Xiao Yeyang patted his shoulder, "Your arrival is welcome. I’ve just arrived at the Gan State Guard and have many matters to deal with, but there’s a shortage of reliable people at my disposal. Your coming helps me a great deal."

Su Hongxin immediately puffed up his chest, "You know my abilities. When I trained in Governor Guo’s camp, I was hardly any less competent than Wentao or Wenkai."

Xiao Yeyang nodded with a smile, sharing his plan to build strategic military towns, "I intend to build three, but the one in the middle, at the foot of Yunlian Mountain, has been occupied by Xiliao, so we can only start with constructing the ones on the left and right defense lines for now."

"Eventually, I might assign one of the military towns to you for defense."

Su Hongxin felt his spirits surge upon hearing this. He hadn’t expected Xiao Yeyang to trust him so much right from the start, "You just leave the tasks to me. I’ll do a good job."

Xiao Yeyang continued, "After you’ve rested for a while, I’ll send you to the Frontier Army Barracks. First, to keep an eye on the construction of the military towns, and second, to forge good relationships with the soldiers in the barracks."

"If you want to be a general, you need the soldiers’ hearts to be with you."

Su Hongxin: "I know all this. You can count on me."

Xiao Yeyang thought for a moment, then said, "Yuanxuan is also in Ganzhou City. I’ll take you to meet him later."

Su Hongxin did not show any surprise upon hearing this. The Dong Family had been exiled to Xiliang, and with the Little Prince now here, given their childhood friendship, he naturally wouldn’t neglect him.

"Good, I haven’t seen Brother Dong for a long while."

...

On seeing Su Hongxin, Dong Yuanxuan was genuinely pleased and couldn’t help but recall their youth in Zhongzhou.

Since Xiao Yeyang and Dong Yuanxuan were both busy, the three of them sat together only briefly before parting.

As they were parting, Dong Yuanxuan invited Su Hongxin to visit his home, to which Su Hongxin immediately agreed.

Yeyang had given him several days to recuperate; he could use this time to learn more about the affairs of the Gan State Guard from Brother Dong.

A few days later, Su Hongxin went to the Frontier Army Barracks.

With his straightforward personality, he fit in well in the barracks, quickly becoming one with the soldiers. Even Cao Dan valued Su Hongxin greatly.

Xiao Yeyang, knowing this, felt much relieved.

Daohua, thinking of Su Hongxin’s wife who was pregnant and probably worried about him, quickly sent a message via carrier pigeon to the Su Family, reporting his safety.

Zhongzhou, Su Residence.

Madam Su, upon receiving Daohua’s message, finally let the anxiety in her heart settle. But then, the thought of her son being in Xiliang, a place that could end up at war with Xiliao at any time, made her worried again.

After Old Master Su found out, he was silent for a while before saying, "Hongxin wants to go out and make his way. Let him be. With the Little Prince there, it’s safer for him than going anywhere else."
