When Ouyang Yuqing saw the room alone, his heart sank.
Although he had a premonition that the person living inside was that lively and cheerful subordinate who used to chatter endlessly by his side.
But as he walked toward the cabin, his steps were heavy and slow...
As Ouyang Yuqing walked toward the hut, she asked herself, conflicted: Could it be him?
Is it him? ...
What should have been a one-minute walk felt like an eternity for Ouyang Yuqing.
Ouyang Yuqing walked to the front of the house, raised his hand, and slowly pushed open the door.
Inside his room, Ge Qiang had one foot pressing down on a rattan cane, while the other end of the cane was in his mouth.
He skillfully weaved one hand through the vines binding his mouth and feet.
When he heard someone open the door, he thought it was his older brother coming back to see him.
So he glanced at it casually and then turned back to weaving a rattan basket.
But the memories in his mind instantly took over his entire brain.
What did he see? ...
Your Highness? ...
He thought he was hallucinating because he hadn't been sleeping well for the past few days.
But he wanted to be sure, yet he didn't dare to verify it.
But he still couldn't help turning his head.
When he saw Ouyang Yuqing, the rattan cane in his mouth lost its support and instantly fell onto the kang (a heated brick bed)...
The moment Ouyang Yuqing saw Ge Qiang, his eyes reddened...
While it is said that men do not easily shed tears, he could not help but shed tears when he saw Ge Qiang's thin body weaving a rattan basket.
Where have those once vibrant young men gone?
When Ge Qiang saw his lord shedding tears for him, he couldn't hold back his own tears either, and he shed tears he hadn't shed in many years.
Ouyang Yuqing seemed to remember something, and suddenly asked Ge Qiang in a serious and stern tone, "Where is Ge Qiang?"
Upon hearing Ouyang Yuqing's question, Ge Qiang naturally knelt down on one knee.
He stubbornly touched his chest with his right hand and said to Ouyang Yuqing, "Ge Qiang is here. Please make the decision, Your Highness."
Upon hearing Ge Qiang's words, Ouyang Yuqing felt a lump in his throat and his lips trembled as he continued, "Ge Qiang, what is your punishment for abandoning your post?"
Upon hearing Ouyang Yuqing's reprimand, Ge Qiang hesitated and said, "Your Highness, I..."
Seeing Ge Qiang's hesitant words, Ouyang Yuqing could no longer control himself and rushed forward.
He came up to Ge Qiang and hugged him tightly.
Ge Qiang was suddenly pulled into Ouyang Yuqing's arms, and his body stiffened briefly.
However, after so many years of grievances, he couldn't help but cry silently in Ouyang Yuqing's arms.
Ouyang Yuqing felt Ge Qiang's silent weeping causing his body to tremble.
He patted Ge Qiang guiltily and said, "You've suffered..."
Upon hearing his words, Ge Qiang sniffed and straightened up from Ouyang Yuqing's embrace.
He looked at Ouyang Yuqing with unwavering eyes and said, "Your Highness, it's worth it to exchange one of my arms and legs for your life."
When Ouyang Yuqing heard Ge Qiang's words, he recalled the scene when Ge Qiang took a knife for him and lost an arm and a leg.
At that time, he led a unit to infiltrate the enemy's grain depot.
They planned to burn the enemy's food supplies at night when the enemy was unprepared, causing the enemy to be defeated without a fight.
Unexpectedly, he was betrayed by some traitor in the army.
They secretly passed this message on to the enemy.
Upon receiving the news, the enemy hastily deployed their plans.
They planned to trap Ouyang Yuqing in the camp and let him die there.
Ouyang Yuqing was preparing to launch a surprise attack on the grain reserves, but he noticed that the enemy patrol soldiers were behaving in a very fake manner.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately realized that their operation had probably been exploited.
So he quickly led his men to evacuate.
But can the enemy allow Ouyang Yuqing to evacuate safely?
