"It looks pretty good~" Xu Nian praised softly, feeling satisfied.

In this way, she now has a powerful backer with whom she can consult at any time!

Although Gu Zhan was appointed by the imperial court, the position of Grand General was still above all others, and he was very dashing and imposing.

Seeing Xu Nian's silly grin, Gu Zhan guessed that she had ulterior motives and deliberately said, "I won't clean up your mess. Solve your own problems."

Xu Nian's face immediately fell, and she said angrily, "You stingy person!"

Thus, Gu Zhan led his army northwest, while Xu Nian led the villagers on their way to the capital.

On the day of parting, Xu Nian felt a pang of reluctance. Looking at Gu Zhan's dashing appearance, her eyes welled up with tears.

Unconsciously, she had become accustomed to Gu Zhan's company, and this parting brought her a mix of emotions.

Gu Zhan mounted his horse and looked at the large group of people who were seeing him off, his gaze falling on the little girl at the front.

Her brows were furrowed with melancholy, and her pearly teeth gently bit her red lips, leaving faint marks that made them look exceptionally moist.

Seeing that Xu Nian was reluctant to part with him, Gu Zhan was in a good mood and lowered his voice, "It's not like we're never going to see each other again, why do you look like you're about to cry?"

"Who's crying!"

Seeing him laugh at her, Xu Nian quickly wiped her eyes and turned her head away with a haughty air, saying, "Have a safe trip."

Gu Zhan stared at her for a long time, then spurred his horse, turned around, and galloped away into the distance.

We will definitely meet again, very soon...
