Chapter 426: Li Lizhi: Don't bother me, I have my own rhythm

Chen Yan waited a long time, but Niu Jinda and Yuan Tiangang obviously had no intention of stopping.

He wasn't in a hurry either; with nothing to do, he just waited.

After a long while, they finally stopped, and then they refined the rough route planned by Yuan Tiangang.

Immediately after, Chen Yan stated his sole demand: "Regarding war matters, I won't interfere, after all I don't really understand warfare; my only request is that you stay steady!"

"Steady! Do you understand?"

Seeing his rather solemn expression, everyone promptly agreed.

Chen Yan said satisfiedly: "When out and about, everything needs caution, especially when leaving our own country and private troops enter another nation's territory—that's quite dangerous."

"Usually, regarding overall coordination and decisions, I hope you listen more to the National Teacher and the Grand Historian. The reason I let them serve as chief commanders together with His Majesty is because they are the only ones I can think of who can greatly increase your safety abroad."

"We're not just going on a single expedition; opportunities are likewise not limited—life is what matters most, remember that."

Several people exchanged a glance and nodded heavily.

"Alright, let's set the Flagless Cavalry's first expedition goal like this: bring back as much Champa Rice seed as you can, after all, if you bring back even one extra sack, the common folk might get to eat Champa Rice a day earlier."

"You go on discussing; I'll head back to prepare some secret weapons for you to ensure your safety."

Chen Yan rose, left a sentence, then greeted them and departed.

It was his mentioned secret weapon that aroused their curiosity.

Su Dingfang wondered: "Could the Duke of Wei still have something good? Something even better than the Dark Night Armor and the Field Blade?"

You know, the Dark Night Armor and the Field Blade have already given them a tremendous shock.

Just that Field Blade alone could be called a divine weapon without exaggeration.

The more one understands the Field Blade, the clearer it becomes that splitting men and horses is no joke—it's a fact.

"Not really clear!" Niu Jinda grinned: "This kid is always mysterious, but whatever he says, the thing he produces definitely won't be bad."

"Let's just wait for him to give us a surprise!"

"......"

Leaving the Pacification Office, the time was already approaching noon.

Chen Yan then went straight home.

Opening the master bedroom door, just as he was about to check on his precious daughter, he saw Gao Yang lying on a mat on the floor, striking a slightly odd but not low-difficulty pose.

"Yo, practicing?"

Chen Yan greeted.

Gao Yang didn't even lift his head: "None of your business, hurry up and close the door!"

"How come?" Chen Yan, not annoyed, chuckled: "You're afraid people will see and think you're losing face?"

"Are you going to close it or not?"

"Closing, closing, closing." Chen Yan said while casually shutting the door, then went to the bedside and saw his daughter asleep, feeling a bit disappointed.

But in an instant he became excited again, eagerly watching Gao Yang practice yoga.

Gao Yang's movements were naturally taught by Chen Yan.

This is quite effective for restoring a pregnant woman's figure; it's definitely not that Chen Yan taught Gao Yang just for his own selfish desire.

Of course, don't ask why a big man like Chen Yan does yoga—those who get it, get it.

He admired it with satisfaction for a while, then said: "Don't just focus on practicing this; you need to exercise, you know?"

"Following my methods will not only help you recover faster, but also strengthen your body, letting that little calf of yours live two more years."

Gao Yang automatically filtered out the bad words, muttering: "I think the method you're teaching me now is useful; at least I am indeed recovering, as for those exercises you mentioned....... never mind."

"I think you just feel embarrassed!" Chen Yan snorted lightly, not understanding her thought at all.

Exercise naturally can't be done indoors; you have to go outside.

She fears being seen by others.

Gao Yang said nothing.

Chen Yan, while admiring, pointed out her mistakes in the movements; frankly, Gao Yang could criticize anything, but not her figure—especially now, as she strikes a yoga pose, she practically invites sin.

After looking a while longer, he shook his head: "Forget it, forget it; I'm in a good mood today, I'll teach you a new method called sit‑ups, specifically for training the waist—give it a try."

Gao Yang felt delighted inside, rose to wait for Chen Yan to come over, then lay down as he instructed.

As a result, Chen Yan sat on her legs.

"Come on, clasp your hands behind your head, use your waist strength to rise up, repeat."

"Oh oh oh." Gao Yang was very obedient in this regard, following Chen Yan's instructions.

Chen Yan immediately beamed with joy, pleased.

Of course, he didn't know that after he returned, Li Lizhi had originally intended to come find him.

But seeing him head straight to the master bedroom, her gaze grew dim, and she said nothing.

"Older sister, what can I say about you?"

At that moment, a small head suddenly popped out from the nearby corner, startling Li Lizhi.

She poked Sizi's forehead angrily: "What are you doing? Did you finish your homework? If not, I'll tell your older brother to make you go three days without meat."

Sizi: "......"

If you don't bring up homework, we're still good sisters.

She pouted: "Older sister, you need to go up bravely; I've taught you step by step, why don't you get it yet?"

"You need to go up and chat with your older brother, find a topic—can't you even do that?"

"At this rate, when will I ever be able to hold my little nephew?"

Li Lizhi was speechless: "You're teaching me again, right?"

"I only did it because you look like a poor little thing, and since we're real sisters I taught you—do you think I enjoy it?" Sizi declared righteously.

Look at yourself, don't forget you are also the older brother's wife; the older brother cares about older sister Gao Yang, just as he cares about you.

Older brother just came back, you should go up, will you ask about his cold and warmth? Will you find a topic? Will you invite him out to see the scenery? If really impossible, when there's no one around, go up and take a couple bites.

Didn't you used to nibble often before?

Li Lizhi:?

Her face instantly flushed red, recalling the last time Sizi and Cheng Yang peeked, she instantly got angry.

She grabbed the little one's ear in one go, "Well done, you, at such a young age you know no shame, look at what you're saying—is that something a young lady should say?"

Sizi raised her little face and protested, "I'm not doing this for your own good? Look at how disappointing you are—do you think I enjoy saying this?!"

Really worried for you!

Li Lizhi: "......"

Don't meddle!

I have my own pace!
