They had wandered in the grassland for a few months. Every time they arrived at a tribe, they secretly captured a few lone Northern Barbarians and interrogated them about the terrain in this area to further understand the situation in the grassland.

When being chased by the soldiers of the Northern Barbarians, they would not immediately give the order to attack. Instead, they would first deal with the soldiers of the Northern Barbarians to observe them.

These words were very convincing, but the soldiers were still indignant.

Huang Wenxian also said, “Do you know how Qi Jiguang defeated the Japanese pirates?”

The soldiers liked hearing about some heroes in history the most. They immediately clamored for Huang Wenxian to tell them quickly.

Huang Wenxian put on the posture of a restaurant storyteller. “It’s said that Qi Jiguang inherited the adorable ancestry of the Dengzhou Guard. At that time, the area of Shandong was invaded by Japanese pirates. The pirates burned, killed, and looted along the coast. They committed all kinds of crimes.” The soldiers were all ears.

“When Qi Jiguang saw this situation, in his grief and indignation, he wrote a poem that said, ‘I didn’t want to be conferred the title of Marquis. I hope the sea will be calm.’ From then on, he began his great plan to resist the Japanese.”

“Qi Jiguang didn’t have any experience fighting at sea, and his navy’s ability to fight at sea wasn’t as good as the Japanese. In the face of this situation, Qi Jiguang wasn’t depressed. He led his troops to patrol the sea. Every time he encountered the Japanese, he would retreat with his ship. As time passed, the Japanese became more and more arrogant and often disturbed the coastal areas. Every time Qi Jiguang was defeated, he would escape.”

Immediately, some soldiers were indignant and jumped out to refute. They did not believe that Qi Jiguang would be defeated by the Japanese pirates, causing him to escape.

“What’s the hurry? I haven’t finished talking, right? Listen to me continue.” Huang Wenxian comforted the soldiers before continuing, “At that time, many people were like you, doubting Qi Jiguang’s ability. After a while, in a battle, Qi Jiguang led the navy and killed the Japanese pirates until they were in a mess.

They couldn’t fight back at all.”

Many soldiers looked thoughtful.

Huang Wenxian continued, “It wasn’t until this moment that the soldiers understood that every time they fled previously was just Qi Jiguang’s scheme. He was using the pursuit of the Japanese pirates to train the navy’s combat ability and adaptability at sea. At the same time, through every contact with the Japanese pirates, he observed their weaknesses. He also invented the Qi family’s saber and the Mandarin Duck Formation to cooperate with it to eliminate the pirates along the coast.”

The soldiers looked ashamed.

Previously, when His Highness wanted to retreat, they were all a little indignant. Other than plundering the Di people and letting them taste the sweetness, the main reason was simply because the Great Zhou Dynasty had been plundered by the Di people. It was not easy for the soldiers to fight back, but all of them were unwilling to stop.

After hearing Military Advisor Huang’s words, they realized that His Highness had put in a lot of effort.

Yin Huaixi smiled. At this moment, the role of a military advisor was revealed.

As General An Yuan drank, he smacked his lips with the kumis. “I keep feeling that this kumis of the Northern Barbarians tastes fishy and sour. It’s still far inferior to our Great Zhou Dynasty’s baijiu.”

In the past, they had cleaned up the battlefield a little. Most soldiers were not used to this taste, but the army lacked supplies, so no one would waste resources.

Huang Wenxian laughed. “It’s good enough that you can taste the wine. You’re still picky.”

Yin Huaixi wasn’t used to drinking this either. He preferred the medicinal wine brewed by Yu Youyao. “The temperature of the kumis is warm. It has the effect of repelling the cold, relaxing the tendons, nourishing the blood, and strengthening the stomach. It’s called the Primordial Jade Nectar. It’s one of the Eight Treasures of the grassland. The reason why the Di people are tall and strong, and their physique and strength are much better than the Great Zhou, is because the Di people like to drink kumis.”

Huang Wenxian looked ignorant. “Is there such a thing?”

The food and customs of the Di people were very different from those of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The brewing of kumis was also completely different from the wine of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As they did not understand it, they did not know what was precious.

Yin Huaixi nodded. “After the first battle, when the soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, they searched for a lot of kumis. Eldest Princess Shaoyi was familiar with medicinal cuisine and medical books, so she discovered records of kumis. Only then did she know the function of kumis.”

In “Extravagant Food”, there were relevant records of kumis.

At that time, Yu Youyao had even sighed with emotion. If she could learn the techniques of milk brewing and promote it in the army, the physical fitness of the soldiers would definitely improve greatly.

There was a roar of laughter from the army.

General An Yuan swallowed and immediately choked on a mouthful of kumis. Immediately, he coughed loudly.

Yin Huaixi laughed and slapped General An Yuan’s back. “This kumis should have been brewed by the clan to offer to the army of the Northern Barbarians, but it’s benefiting us. Everyone, drink well. Don’t save it.”

General An Yuan’s cough softened a little. When he heard that kumis was good for the body, he couldn’t bear to drink it and wanted to bring this good thing back for his wife to drink.

Many soldiers in the army had the same thoughts as him.

Yin Huaixi smiled and said, “The North also herds horses, sheep, and cows. Milk brewing doesn’t cost food. I previously obtained the method to brew wine from the Northern Barbarians. When the time comes, I’ll learn their milk brewing technique and we’ll brew it ourselves.”

When Yu Youyao mentioned the benefits of kumis, he became interested in this matter.

When he attacked the Northern Barbarians, he realized that the tribe had brewed a lot of milk wine. He captured the person in charge of brewing the wine and interrogated him. He learned their milk brewing skills. At the same time, he looted all the books, sheepskin scrolls, and so on of the Northern Barbarians.

Thinking of Yu Youyao, Yin Huaixi lay on the ground and rested his head on his arms as he looked up at the sky. The sky above the grassland was light and boundless, causing an emotion called “longing” to surge in his heart.

In a few days, it would be Yu Youyao’s 15th birthday.

A woman… would most reach adulthood at 15!

If Old Madam Yu was still alive and she was still in the capital, the Yu Clan would definitely hold a very grand coming-of-age ceremony for Yu Youyao. They would invite the most respected mingfu in the imperial family to give her praise and insert the hairpin for her. At that time, the nobles in the palace would even reward her. How grand and dignified would it be?!

After she reached adulthood, she could be married.

Unfortunately, Yu Youyao was still in mourning, and her coming-of-age ceremony had to be delayed.

Yu Youyao, who was worried about Yin Huaixi, finally welcomed the most important birthday in her life.

Even though a woman’s age was not like one’s Four Pillars of Destiny, which could not be revealed to others except one’s elders, it was still a very private matter.

Therefore, on this day, Yu Youyao did not make a fuss. Early in the morning, Chun Xiao and Xia Tao borrowed the kitchen in the army and made a bowl of longevity noodles for Yu Youyao with a poached egg inside.

There were a few drops of oil floating on the bowl of plain noodles. Even the taste was not meticulous, but it was made of rare fine grain. It looked very luxurious in the army..
