Chapter 249 A Warm Moment
Jia Daishan walked in front, while Jia Daihua walked behind, one grandson in each hand.
Once inside, Jia Hu felt a pang of heartache upon seeing his grandfathers. It wasn't so noticeable outside, but in the candlelight, both grandfathers looked utterly exhausted.
Jia Hu had never seen his grandfathers like this before. Whenever he saw his grandfathers, they were always full of energy and spirits. He had never seen them like this before.
Those damned corrupt officials are truly hateful. My grandfathers have worked so hard; if only I could have helped them.
Jia Hu was genuinely distressed and wanted to help, but there was no storyline here, and he knew nothing about it.
If he's going to look something up, who would believe a kid that age would say he's going to help?
Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua could tell at a glance how much the two children cared for them.
I used to think Hu'er was clever, but now she just stares at them blankly, her eyes full of heartache.
Zhen'er was busy running around, taking over all the servants' work, serving tea and massaging their legs and arms, keeping them extremely busy.
"Hu'er, your grandfathers are fine. They've just been working hard today. They'll be fine tomorrow after a good rest tonight."
They say it's nothing, but it looks exhausting. This kind of mentally and physically demanding work is really tough.
The grandfathers held high positions and wielded great power. Of all the people who had come with him, the Emperor trusted his grandfathers the most, so naturally, it was the grandfathers' turn to step forward.
Jia Hu comforted himself and came over to massage his grandfather's legs.
"Grandfathers, go to sleep."
Jia Zhen stood up and immediately told his grandfathers to go to bed.
The two grandfathers were happy that their grandson knew how to care for them, but seeing their children being so distressed made them feel bad.
"Don't go to sleep yet, let your grandfathers talk to you for a while."
Let me tell you! Our grandfathers fought much harder than this back then, and compared to that, this is practically a rest.
As soon as Jia Daihua said this, it immediately attracted the attention of his two grandsons.
Jia Daihua was extremely pleased with himself. He raised his hand, waved, and laughed:
"Want to know?"
"I want to know, I want to know, Grandfather, please tell me!"
Jia Zhen liked this the most, and immediately raised both hands to indicate that he wanted to hear it.
"Alright, alright, Grandpa's telling you, don't stop hammering!"
Jia Zhen immediately squatted down and, with utmost care, began to massage his grandfather's legs.
Jia Daihua tapped his finger lightly on the table, recalling the moment, and said:
"That was in winter. Those bastards from Xinjiang would come and plunder us as soon as winter came. They would take advantage of the fact that they had been riding horses since they were young and ran away without any restraint after robbing us."
They move around frequently, so they're much more familiar with that place than we are with this area.
They're like rats digging holes, one burrow after another, you can't find them at all.
Jia Hu listened intently, realizing that such a situation would indeed be difficult to handle in such a heavy snowfall.
"And then what? What happened next? Grandfather, how did you catch them?!"
Jia Zhen was anxious; what could he do?
Jia Daihua slammed his fist on the table.
"Of course! They're proud of their horsemanship, so let's go after their best skill!"
Our soldiers are not cowards. Your great-uncle discerned their numbers and the direction of their movements from their several actions.
Immediately send people to search for their hiding place from several directions, and report back as soon as they are found.
Because they would change locations at any time. And it took two days for the scouts to find them and return.
"What are we going to do? If we go looking for them and they come back and forth, they'll all be gone!"
Jia Zhen was extremely anxious. He stopped massaging his legs, squatted on the ground, looked up, and asked, "?"
"Hahaha, then you should take a look at who went there!"
After the news came back, your grandfather immediately led a cavalry unit, lightly armed, carrying only weapons.
What should have been a two-day journey, your grandfather accomplished in a single day. We found their location, led our men in a surprise attack on their encampment, and took their heads in one fell swoop!
