Ge Xianshun and Xu Meng, each carrying a food box, exchanged a glance.

The three of them cautiously approached the door, trying to listen to what was happening inside, but they heard nothing.

Lian Yingtong raised his hand, wanting to knock on the door again, but before his hand could touch the door, the door creaked open from the inside.

Lian Yingtong almost struck Gu Jingheng on the chest with his raised hand, but he quickly lowered it and said respectfully, "Master, it's time for breakfast."

"Um."

Gu Jingheng's face remained expressionless, and he gave a faint "hmm." However, after turning around, he yawned where the three of them couldn't see him.

Today, Lingyuelou is serving rice porridge, fried dough sticks, a dish of pickled cucumbers, a dish of sauerkraut, and a dish of sliced ​​sausages, one serving per person.

The food was simple, but it tasted good.

Gu Jingheng had a poor appetite today and put down his chopsticks after eating only a little.

Xu Meng had already finished his portion in a few bites. Seeing that Gu Jingheng wasn't eating anymore, he asked, "Master, are you not eating anymore? Since you're not eating anymore, I'll take it and eat it myself."

Gu Jingheng looked at the three people eating and suddenly asked, "Are any of you married?"

Of the three, Lian Yingtong is the youngest, but he has followed Gu Jingheng the longest and is also the highest-ranking among them.

Lian Yingtong shook his head, his ears turning slightly red. Ge Xianshun and Xu Meng also shook their heads.

"My family was too poor to support me, so I joined the army myself." Xu Meng tore off a piece of fried dough and chewed it heartily.

"Hey, sir, do you have a wife?" Xu Meng had barely finished asking when he was kicked by Lian Yingtong and Ge Xianshun!

Xu Meng gasped, "Damn it, why did you two kick me?!"

Lian Yingtong and Ge Xianshun both rolled their eyes at Xu Meng.

Gu Jingheng wasn't angry. He just swirled his teacup for a while before smiling faintly and saying, "I don't know."

After saying that, he put down his teacup and walked towards the door. As he was about to leave, he did not turn back and instructed, "I'm going out for a walk by myself. You don't need to follow me."

As Gu Jingheng's footsteps faded into the distance, Ge Xianshun punched Xu Meng again: "Why do you always bring up the most awkward things?"

"What happened to me? What happened to me again?!" Xu Meng, holding his bowl of porridge, dodged his brother's attacks, his face full of confusion. "Master... no, what exactly happened?"

Neither Lian Yingtong nor Ge Xianshun spoke. Xu Meng grew impatient, picked up his bowl of porridge, and sat back down in his seat: "Are you two even brothers? Can't you just tell me? Every time I embarrass myself in front of the... no, the master, are you just here to watch the show? I think you'd love for the master to drag me out and beat me to death with sticks."

Ge Xianshun pursed his lips.

Lien Ying-tung also put down his chopsticks.

But he still didn't say anything.

"You two are driving me crazy! Tell me quickly, tell me quickly, what is it that I don't know? I've only been with the master for a little over half a year, I really don't know anything. Brother Yingtong, my good brother, you've been with the master the longest, tell me quickly!"

Lien Ying-tung pursed his lips and took a deep breath: "Okay. Come closer."

Xu Meng quickly put down his chopsticks and came closer.

Lian Yingtong said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Actually, the general was seriously injured a few years ago and almost died. He was unconscious for a long time, but when he finally woke up, he didn't remember anything."

"Oh..." Xu Meng scratched his head as he listened to this very old news. "Then... oh, sir, sir doesn't remember anything? Where is his hometown? Who are his family members? Hey, what is sir's name?"
