Chapter 44

Yunmian spent a peaceful and stable year at the border with her mother and the border soldiers from Daqing.

The imperial city also sent people to deliver many gifts and supplies, most of which were for Yunmian. Yunmian also reciprocated the gifts to everyone in the imperial city.

But the gifts they gave were all delicacies and treasures, and Yunmian responded with...

[Brother, this is not an ordinary mud. This is mud stained with the blood of border soldiers and enemy soldiers. This is mud that carries the heroic spirits of the dead. I think you will like it!]

[Second sister, this is not an ordinary silk flower. When I was visiting Qiliang City a few days ago, some refugees broke in and made trouble. After I helped to solve the problem, an old lady gave me this silk flower. The old lady didn’t think I was a little girl and ignored my help. She also said that she wanted her granddaughter to be brave in the future. I think it is very beautiful. Second sister, do you like it? ]

[Second brother, this is not an ordinary weed. I rode my horse all over the border town and finally found this weed in a dry riverbed. If a weed has such strong vitality, shouldn’t the lives of tens of millions of people be like this too?]

[Third sister, this is not an ordinary mask. The mask was blank at first, with only a shape but no pattern. All the patterns were drawn by me. I made it special and unique. I believe that third sister can also draw her own life.]

[Uncle, this is not an ordinary clay doll, it is a clay doll I made myself. Doesn’t it look very much like you? I originally planned to make a doll of myself to send back to accompany my uncle and aunt, but my mother said that the doll I made was too ugly, so... hehe~]

[Aunt, this is not an ordinary wolf tooth. It was the day when my mother took me out for a horse race. We ran too far and encountered a pack of wolves. Later, my mother and I killed them together and peeled off the wolf tooth. People on the border believe that wolf teeth can bring peace, so Mianmian wanted to give it to my aunt first~]

[Master, this is not an ordinary...]

[Brother, this is not an ordinary...]

Yun Peijin, who was helping her pack the gifts and occasionally glancing at the corresponding letters she wrote, twitched his lips and poked his daughter's head in anger and amusement: "You have said all the nice things in the world, and even started with the same sentence. Do you think you can scare them like this?"

Yun Mian covered her forehead and retorted righteously with a stern face: "Mother, this is called the thought that counts for a small gift. The things I gave are so precious and unique! My uncles will definitely like them!"

Yun Peijin felt that his daughter seemed to have become even more shameless, so he held his forehead and said, "Then why don't you write it seriously and come up with a different beginning?"

Yun Peijin could now imagine how wonderful the expressions on the emperor and empress's faces would be when they opened the letters and found these letters and strange gifts that were carved from the same mold.

Yun Mian scratched his forehead with a brush and muttered, "But these things are not ordinary things. I didn't lie."

The system, which had been silent for a long time, said: "..."

It finally figured out why the host liked to give money during the Chinese New Year in the previous world since childhood.

Simple, rough and clear. There is no need to go around in circles or use any fancy words.

Simply put, it means you don't have to use your brain.

Yunmian didn't know that one of her little characteristics had been exposed inadvertently. After packing the envelopes and gifts for her uncle's family and her master's family separately, she became busy again.

She asked the system: "Uncle System, what is the current task progress bar?"

"Why did Mianmian think of asking this?" The system was a little surprised.

Yun Mian was lying on the table in boredom, yawning and muttering, "Let's see if there is any hope of completing the task. I just made a wish that the task progress can be completed faster."

She did not forget the mission, but most of the time she was doing her own thing seriously, doing what she was supposed to do in her position, without worrying about anything else and always keeping an eye on the progress of the mission, trying hard to complete it.

Yun Mian felt that doing so might make her unlike herself, so she instinctively didn't ask any more questions, and tried to stay as far away from Yun Yi as possible in life.

The system then simply displayed the panel to her and let her see it herself.

[Current main mission progress: 10.01 percent.]

[Current side quest progress: 11.3 percent.]

Yunmian: “…”

system:"……"

Looking at the tragic progress bar, everyone was silent.

"How about...we just stay in this world?" Yun Mian moved his paws that were about to give up.

The system is also a bit lame: "It doesn't matter, whether it's finished or not, at least as long as you don't die, you can continue to live."

It used nonsense literature in a very profound and philosophical way. Yun Mian thought it made sense, so she nodded carefully: "Yes, I think my mother and I should live to be at least ninety-nine, if not a hundred years old!"

I thought I would get full recognition from the system, but it went silent again.

Yunmian tilted her head and looked at it blankly.

Then I heard Uncle System say in a strange tone: "Mianmian, does it have to be one hundred and ninety-nine years old? Can't it be ninety-eight?"

Yun Mian shook her head without hesitation: "No! Ninety-eight is unlucky. One hundred represents perfection, and ninety-nine represents a glimmer of hope!"

System: “…” was strangely persuaded.

But isn't her host's obsession a bit too profound? In two different worlds, her most resolute view of life and death in both worlds is to live a long, long time, even two years less is not acceptable.

But no matter what, the task becomes more difficult to complete as it progresses. Judging from the current progress bar, Yunmian may not be able to complete it in her lifetime.

So the system said to Yunmian: "Let's live our own lives first. Who knows, one day we might run into a ghost and the progress bar of this task will be completed in an instant. We still have to have dreams!"

You can give up, be a lazy fish, or ignore the task, but it's not bad to have a heart that loves to dream.

Yunmian was once again convinced by Uncle System's philosophy of life. She nodded thoughtfully, then slammed her palm heavily on the table: "I've made up my mind!"

The system asked blankly: "What did you decide?"

The little girl waved her claws with high spirits: "Let's finish the side quest first. Aren't we in the process of completing it? There will always be a day of unification!!"

System: “…That makes sense?”

The system and Yunmian persuaded and encouraged each other, and they stood up again from the blow of the progress bar, and began to set the side quest progress as a small goal in life with full energy.

But how difficult is it to achieve the goal of unification of the four countries?

Yunmian has not even been able to chew on the bone of the Tu State border in front of him.

She had to go to General Yun Peijin, who had the final say in the army of hundreds of thousands.

"General's wife, I think we can no longer let Tu Heng live in our cell eating and drinking for free." She stood solemnly where subordinates reported military affairs.

Yun Peijin's eyes flashed with a smile: "Really? Then what do you think I should do with him?"

Yun Mian came closer and whispered, "I think we can secretly send him back to the imperial city of Tu Kingdom while the chaos is going on. Then let the surviving princes continue to fight and struggle for the throne, and we will reap the benefits from it!"

Yun Peijin tapped her slender fingers lightly on the table, as if she was thinking about whether her suggestion could be implemented.

Yunmian held her breath and waited eagerly.

After waiting for a long time, the general on guard responded slowly, and said thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense, but how can we be sure that he can compete with other princes after he returns? And how can we be sure that after he wins, we will be able to reap the benefits?"

Yun Mian was stumped by the question.

It was just a sudden idea for her, so she rushed over to discuss it with her mother. Who knew that her mother's questions would leave her stumped?

The subordinate's fair face slowly turned red with shame. He clenched his sleeves with his fingers for a long time before whispering, "I, I haven't thought about it yet..."

"Then go down and come back when you have thought it over. This situation will not happen again." Yun Peijin sternly waved away the ashamed subordinate.

Yunmian walked out with her head down and looked dejected.

Wei Wu and Chu Tian were waiting for her outside. They saw the little girl jumping out happily, but less than two minutes later she came out with her head hung low, with a look of astonishment in her eyes.

Is this so fast?

The general really deserves to be called a general... She is the only one in the entire military camp who can punish the little princess so easily.

But seeing how listless the little princess was, the two of them changed their minds and wondered if the general was too demanding. The princess was still a child...

"What's wrong with the child? Since she is obsessed with going to the battlefield to kill the enemy and wants to be a general to defend the country, she must be prepared to not be treated as a child early on."

Yun Peijin said to the frowning adjutant, "When I was forced to go to the battlefield, I was not much older than her. She has learned more than I did. Her teacher is General Bai Anguo, and I am by her side. This is a friendly enough environment for her to grow up in. Will the enemy's sword not cut her just because she is a child? Will the enemy's cavalry not enter the city to slaughter just because the people defending the city are children?"

The adjutant also knows this, but... he still feels a little bit reluctant, especially when the little girl who used to be lively and causing trouble suddenly becomes listless in the past two days, and doesn't even go out and doesn't eat much. They always wonder if they are being too harsh. It wouldn't be a big deal to let her play carefree for a while, right?

Yun Peijin had hardened his heart with great difficulty. Now, seeing that everyone in the military camp who had a say came to him to plead for his daughter, he felt gratified but at the same time had a headache.

So his words became more aggressive: "Why are you all looking at me like a stepmother?!"

Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent.

Yun Peijin: ...want to kill someone.

Just at this moment, the door of the conference hall was pushed open from the outside, and a small figure jumped in happily like a rabbit against the light.

"Mother, mother, General, I know what to do!!"

Yunmian rushed in with her head down and finished shouting. When she looked up, she found that the place seemed... a little crowded today?

It’s my period today and it’s really painful. I can only type slowly. There should be another update at twelve o’clock.
