Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 2089: Chapter 2090: Unification of the World (19)

This day finally came, and Su Yi Jing killed Feng Feiming. Of course, it wasn’t so simple as just killing Feng Feiming. First, he broke Feng Feiming’s legs, letting Feng Feiming taste the excruciating pain in his legs. Only when Feng Feiming’s legs were numb with pain did he finally kill him.

The day Feng Feiming was killed was the 10th of November. By then, the aftermath issues were almost handled. All the people of Wufeng were willing to submit to Xiyun. From then on, there was only one nation in the world, and that was Xiyun.

Zou Qian, Liang Zhiyao, Sheng Qingfeng, and others were all talented individuals. Originally, Su Yi Jing wanted to recruit them, but their loyalty to Wufeng was unshakeable. When Wufeng was destroyed, they all committed suicide, following Wufeng in death. Su Yi Jing just closed his eyes impassively and had them buried honorably.

After everything was handled, Su Yi Jing led some soldiers back triumphantly, returning to the Imperial City to report. Su Yi Jing, Su Yi Xing, and others rode home, hoping to make it back in time to celebrate the New Year with their parents.

On New Year’s Eve, the reunion dinner was ready, and since An Jing and the others saw that Su Yi Jing and the rest had not yet returned, they thought they might not make it back in time, and everyone was a bit disappointed.

An Jing just darkened his eyes slightly, then pulled himself together and said with a smile, ”Everyone, go take a bath and change into new clothes. Even if they don’t make it back, we should still celebrate the New Year properly. Let’s not spoil such a wonderful day.”

The custom here is that everyone bathes and changes into new clothes before the New Year’s Eve dinner.

When everyone had bathed and changed, the sun had just set. Seeing that An Jing and Xiao Changyi had not yet come out of the room, Huo Qingyi and the others chatted in the courtyard.

Only when An Jing and Xiao Changyi came out of the room did everyone gather around them and head to the dining room, preparing to start the reunion dinner.

”I’ll set off the firecrackers!” Feng Feiyan’s second son led the firecrackers to the courtyard, ready to set them off.

But just as he ignited the tinder, he heard the sound of hooves and immediately stopped setting off the firecrackers. Instead, he shouted towards the house, ”Grandpa, grandma! There’s the sound of horses coming; it should be dad and second uncle returning!”

The people inside also heard the sound of hooves, getting closer and closer, and as he shouted, they all came out joyfully.

When An Jing and the others reached the door adorned with bright, festive couplets, Su Yi Jing and the others also arrived at the door on horseback.

”Dad, mom, we’re back!” Su Yi Jing, Su Yi Xing, An Yiqing, An Yiqi, An Yilin, An Yizhi, and Qi Jiaoqiao dismounted at once and kneeled in front of Xiao Changyi and An Jing.

Xiao Changyi and An Jing quickly helped them up.

An Jing’s eyes glistened slightly with tears. ”It’s good you’re back. It’s good you’re back.”

As for Qi Linglong and Lu Moran, they had returned three days ago.

Su Yi Xing, An Yiqing, An Yilin, and An Yizhi all went to their wives and talked with them.

Seeing that no one pushed his wife out, Su Yi Jing asked An Jing, ”Mom, is Qingqing in the house?”

An Jing just smiled and, together with everyone, made way, allowing Su Yi Jing to see into the courtyard.

In the middle of the courtyard, Feng Feiyan stood there with a crutch. Seeing Su Yi Jing look over, she immediately showed a gentle, comfortable smile. She even used her crutch to take a couple of small steps towards Su Yi Jing, though with some difficulty.

”Qingqing...” Su Yi Jing was both surprised and delighted. But more than that, he was incredulous, hardly able to believe that in the short nine months he was away, his wife could already walk with a crutch.
