"Have you learned how to make Tanghulu now?" she asked.

Liang Qingchen nodded: "I have learned it a long time ago, but I have never had the opportunity to show my skills."

"Then you can cook it for me when we get back to the capital."

"Okay, as long as Zhao Zhao likes it, I'm willing to do it anytime."

Jiang Muyu nestled in his arms and asked again, "You said you waited for me for seventeen years, so you recognized me when I just admitted that I came from another world, right?"

He was silent for a moment, then said, "No, from the moment the late emperor granted me the marriage, I knew you would definitely come back."

"The late emperor granted me a marriage?" She was stunned.

"Well, at the beginning, the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion had no real power, but it had a title. The late emperor thought that I was a good match and would not be a threat to the crown prince, so he intended to arrange a marriage for me. I was going to refuse until I learned that the person being arranged to marry me was Jiang Muyu, and then I agreed."

"What if... that person is not me?"

"It's you." Liang Qingchen said affirmatively: "When we first met in Xuan Cang, you were wearing Tian Qian's clothes and had your hair done in Tian Qian's style. Although you don't remember anything, I know you will remember it one day."

"So, you've been waiting for me for so many years?"

"Yeah." He lowered his eyelashes gently: "I thought... maybe I would never be able to wait in this lifetime... Fortunately, God has blessed me, and I am not completely lost."

Her heart suddenly ached and she hugged him tighter, perhaps because she felt that only in this way could she make him feel a little warmth.

"I'm sorry... thank you for your hard work over the years," she said softly.

Liang Qingchen smiled softly and touched her head: "Zhao Zhao, it's okay, I can wait, and I am willing to do it."

She leaned close to his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and felt at peace.

The two of them were affectionate for a while.

Liang Qingchen held her for a long time and was unwilling to let go. If he hadn't been on military duty, he would have preferred to die in this warm and soft jade.

Jiang Muyu pushed him and said, "Go quickly, don't delay the important matter."

He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead and said, "Zhao Zhao, wait for me."

"good."

Before he left, Jiang Muyu subconsciously grabbed his wrist and reminded him again: "Be careful on the battlefield, don't be reckless, don't underestimate the enemy, don't..."

"Got it." He interrupted her, came over and pecked her lips again, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you are waiting for me, I will definitely come back safely."

…

However, what Jiang Muyu didn't expect was that he would never come back after this trip.

When she learned that her commander had died in battle, she was so frightened that her legs went limp. Fortunately, Yunyan came to her rescue in time and prevented her from falling to the ground.

She held Yunyan's hand tightly, opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word. Her face was full of fear and disbelief.

Obviously... obviously everything seems to have changed, but why does the ending remain the same?

She managed to steady herself and took a long time to calm herself before she stumbled into the main tent, shouting, "Where are they? Where are they?"

The generals were frightened by her somewhat crazy look and knelt down one after another without saying a word.

Jiang Muyu pulled General Mu by the collar and lifted him up, saying in a threatening manner: "I'm asking you, where is the prince? Didn't you go out with him? Why did you come back but he didn't?"

Young General Mu had never thought that a skinny and weak-looking woman could have such great strength. He was so frightened that he swallowed hard and said, "I... I did go to the battle with the prince, but later the troops were divided into two groups. The prince led the main team, and I led the deputy team. I..."

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Muyu threw him away and he fell to the ground, looking extremely miserable.

Jiang Muyu was trembling all over. He leaned on the edge of the table, looking at the military deployment map in front of him, and trying hard to resist the urge to tear it up.

No one dared to even breathe.

Until Jiang Chenan walked in, he hurried to Jiang Muyu, looked at her worriedly, and said softly: "Zhao Zhao, the main team was ambushed by the enemy and no one survived. Our people have gone to look for them. We will meet them alive or dead..."

Looking at his sister's pale face, he didn't dare to say the last word.

The calmness that Jiang Muyu had tried so hard to maintain collapsed at this moment. She hugged Jiang Chenan and cried out loudly: "Third brother, he clearly promised me that he would come back safely. Why did he break his promise?"

Jiang Chenan hugged her back, but didn't know how to respond for a moment.

After a long while, he choked up and uttered, "Brother will definitely help you find him."

She seemed to hear it, but also seemed not to hear it.

She suddenly pushed Jiang Chenan away, wiped her tears and rushed out of the tent.

When Jiang Chenan chased after her, he only saw her back disappearing into the dust. His eyes widened immediately: "When did she learn to ride a horse?"

Without giving it any time to think, he mounted his horse and chased after him.

But Jiang Muyu seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and disappeared while running.

Jiang Chenan chased after him for a while but couldn't catch up. After turning around a few times, he realized that he had lost him. He was so anxious that he kept turning around in circles.

On this side, Jiang Muyu followed the main team's attack route based on his memory of the military deployment map he had just seen.

The surrounding mountains were steep and rugged, and it was obvious that the position was easy to defend but difficult to attack. She got off the horse and led the horse forward to avoid being discovered by the enemy.

She walked for most of the day and finally saw the remnants of a trap. A large number of soldiers were dead around it, lying on the ground one by one wearing Tiangan armor. Not far away was the flag of Tiangan.

She tied her horse to a tree trunk and began to search through the bodies one by one.

She was very afraid that Liang Qingchen's body might be among them.

It took more than an hour to turn the body over, and her clothes were stained with blood.

Fortunately, I didn't see that familiar handsome face in the end. I was relieved but also worried.

If Liang Qingchen had not died in the battle, he would most likely have been captured.

On the battlefield, being captured is worse than dying in battle. If the commander falls into the hands of the enemy, he will probably be tortured and chopped into pieces. She couldn't help but shudder at the thought.

Jiang Muyu followed the route and searched for a while, and walked into a dense forest. It was getting darker, and she was afraid of getting lost, so she found a big tree to hide under.

She didn't dare stay on the ground, for fear of encountering wild beasts out for night hunting, so she could only find a tall, strong branch to lie on.

When the wind blew, the leaves rustled. She put her arms behind her head and looked up at the sky. It was not dark and there were stars dotted in the sky.

She was thinking that she had run out on impulse and her third brother must be very worried.

But she is not the kind of person who can just sit and wait. She would rather go out and look for her than suffer in the waiting.

Until his body was found, she was willing to believe that he was still alive.
