Chapter 63 Spring Rain
Yu Wanyin's long hair was tied up, the ends of which were damp and hung down to one side of her temple.
Seeing him searching for something, she didn't pay any attention and just muttered, "Go ahead."
Rong Si stared at her for a while.
Seeing that the person hadn't responded for a while, Yu Wanyin looked up at them.
Rong Si met her wet eyes after her bath, placed the medicine bottle on the table beside him, slammed the cabinet door shut, and replied, "I know."
After saying that, he took his things and went into the cubicle in a few steps.
His shower and tidying up weren't as quiet as hers; the sounds of Tokyo were clearly audible.
You could sense that he was a bit restless.
The countryside was still a bit chilly in early spring. The camp had a heater burning, but you could still hear the wind that belonged only to the outside world.
Yu Wanyin leaned to one side and picked up a hand warmer from the table next to her.
Occasionally, the sound of patrolling soldiers could be heard outside.
A less-than-peaceful harmony was maintained between them.
Yu Wanyin casually picked up the porcelain bottle that Rong Si had placed aside.
The porcelain bottle emitted a faint herbal fragrance, but it was empty.
He has already finished this bottle of medicine.
Yu Wanyin had never seen Rong Si take medicine.
In her memory, Rong Si was in good health.
About fifteen minutes later, Rong Si emerged from the cubicle, shirtless.
Holding the medicine bottle, Yu Wanyin asked in confusion, "Are you sick?"
Rong Si looked up upon hearing the sound.
His eyelashes were damp with water droplets, and when he lifted them, Yu Wanyin could see the bloodshot veins in his eyes.
From a distance, it looks like a ravenous beast.
Yu Wanyin was slightly startled.
As soon as Rong Si came out, he saw Yu Wanyin's slender white fingers clutching the empty porcelain bottle he used to restrain his desires, and asking him in the dim light if he was sick.
In a certain moment, it was as if she were brazenly seizing upon his suppressed feelings.
I can't hear what they're saying.
Reason crumbled; all he knew was that she was the real cure.
Waiting to be peeled open and devoured by him.
Rong Si's expression was frighteningly serious as he walked towards her.
Seeing his expression, Yu Wanyin assumed that she had touched his things and made him angry.
He braced himself against the sides of her seat, the shadow looming over him.
Yu Wanyin put down the bottle. "You put it here, so I just grabbed it..."
Before she could finish speaking, a kiss, damp with moisture, landed on her cheek and ear, telling her, "I'm sick."
Yu Wanyin's eyelashes trembled as she flinched away.
He leaned over and kissed her chin.
The hot, thin lips started to itch wherever they touched.
The long-awaited scorching heat enveloped her, and Yu Wanyin, feeling uncomfortable, dodged away again.
This time, he pressed her down in the seat, turned her face, and forced her to meet his somewhat impatient and rough kiss.
Like a tiger chewing on a flower.
Crumble every inch of the branches and leaves and swallow them.
Soon his fingers, which were holding her cheek, slid down, and then he grabbed her slender neck and pulled her sharply toward him.
Yu Wanyin had no choice but to pounce on him.
As she lunged at him, Rong Si picked her up and, in just a few steps, pinned her to the bed beside him.
Too fast and too sudden, Yu Wanyin was almost suffocated by being swallowed, and it took her a long time to catch her breath. She supported herself against his chest, turned her head away, and breathed in fresh air with difficulty.
Before she could catch her breath, she was turned around again and pinned down.
Yu Wanyin instinctively let out a sob, but then heard the footsteps of patrolling outside and hurriedly suppressed her sob.
His clothes were torn off in a few quick movements.
It shattered quickly, as if violently destroyed.
Her clearly defined collarbone was exposed, and as she tensed up, its contours became even more beautiful.
Rong Si's kiss landed, but suddenly stopped.
Yu Wanyin's breathing became rapid, and as her chest heaved, she suddenly remembered something. She subconsciously reached out to cover herself, but Rong Si grabbed her wrist.
Rong Si stared intently at the lingering dark red mark on her neck. "Where did that come from?"
Yu Wanyin felt guilty for a moment, "Mosquito bites."
Rong Si suddenly chuckled, "Is this mosquito named Chu Yu?"
Yu Wanyin's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly tried to cover the mark, but more of her clothes were torn open.
He pressed his hands on either side of her, enveloping her completely, and looked down at the crystal-clear white jade helplessly exposed before him.
And the places that have been touched by others.
Rong Si slowly rubbed the red mark, "When meeting your ex-husband, do you need to get close to him first?"
"Where else did he touch you?" Rong Si's rough fingertips scraped over every inch of you. "Here?"
Yu Wanyin trembled slightly.
Suddenly, she recalled that in that half-dreaming, half-awake state, Chu Yu had also asked her, "Has anyone touched this place?"
They all act like dogs.
"Even if someone has touched it, so what..."
He suddenly bit her.
Yu Wanyin covered her lips, suppressing the sound that was about to escape.
“There’s nothing we can do,” Rong Si said, his eyes growing increasingly bloodshot. He felt like a jealous man, starting to fight with another man for territory. He plunged his fingertip deep into the hole. “Didn’t you just say that you didn’t go to see him on purpose?”
Even with her lips pressed together, Yu Wanyin still managed to let out soft moans.
There was no way to answer his question.
But this silence only fueled his anger. "Can we get close to him without specifically seeking him out?"
"We didn't do anything."
"Besides, we were husband and wife before..." Before Yu Wanyin could finish speaking, her heart was stirred by his words, and tears quickly welled up in her eyes.
Once the troops entered the city, they stirred up trouble without any hesitation, and this sudden attack caught everyone completely off guard.
At first, there was a backlog of people trying to keep him out.
But it was quickly broken through by force.
The territory, untouched for a long time, seemed stunted and helpless.
They were routed after just a few attacks.
Yu Wanyin's tailbone tingled from the commotion, and whenever she had a spare moment, she quickly pressed against him, "There are people outside, there are..."
It's useless.
Yu Wanyin turned around to get off, but in that state, she was suddenly pressed down next to the bed!
Almost simultaneously, Rong Si covered her mouth from behind with his large hand.
The passive silencing, coupled with the sudden soaring sensation, made the person in his arms tremble violently.
Her slender fingers gripped the mattress beneath her, pulling it into wrinkles.
His large hands pressed down on her cheeks, creating a ring of soft flesh.
He repeated her words in a rough, hoarse voice, "We were husband and wife before."
He pressed, "Then how could he get here?"
"Um?"
A waterfall of green silk cascaded down the side of the couch, swaying heavily.
Every attack landed squarely, feinting out only to snatch it back.
I felt dizzy and lightheaded, and all I could hear was the smoke from the still-burning fireplace inside the house.
Sparks crackled and flew everywhere.
It splashed onto the ground, hit the water in the bathroom, and then hissed and burst open.
The impact caused Yu Wanyin's vision to become foggy and white.
She tried to dodge, so she moved forward a little.
He didn't grab her back immediately; instead, in the next instant, he suddenly and forcefully chased after her.
Yu Wanyin's voice was suppressed and couldn't explode; what exploded was every inch of her senses.
"Yaoyao, trying to run away, huh?"
Before she could move, he forcefully pushed her forward, saying, "Where do you think you're going?"
"Run, Yaoyao."
She couldn't escape. Yu Wanyin gripped the bedsheets tightly, her fingers even turning a bright pink.
Her voice, tinged with a soft sob, murmured, "Bastard...bastard."
Rong Si whispered in her ear, "Didn't expect to be caught by that bastard when you ran away?"
His hot breath brushed against her earlobe. "Why are you leaving?"
Yu Wanyin raised her voice with a hint of righteous indignation, "I want to go home!"
"Go home." Rong Si's tone was heavy. He suddenly flipped the person over more forcefully and occupied him more tightly. "Going home, you didn't even tell me?"
"You're going to leave me behind just to go home?"
"Aren't you afraid of being attacked by mad dogs on the way?"
Yu Wanyin bit her lip, "Besides you, who else would cling to me like this?"
Rong Si seized the opportunity to press down, laughing, "Yes, I'm a mad dog."
Yu Wanyin's slender neck suddenly tilted back again.
"Does Yao Yao enjoy being harassed by mad dogs?"
"They're entangled to death, they're ruined by them."
Yu Wanyin had to cover her lips again; he knew her too well.
He also knew how to make her completely lose her mind.
Suddenly, the fog in front of me began to expand into tiny specks.
The clouds were thrown out and pulled back, tumbling over each other layer by layer.
Suddenly, I pierced through the layers of clouds and was thrown to the top!
Before it could even fall, it was violently shredded.
The dense mist from the clouds was dispersed and splashed out.
Then came a heavy spring rain.
Mixed with a soft, white mist.
Unable to scream, the scream was swallowed back down her throat when she heard the voices of the guards on duty talking outside.
Amidst a cacophony of male voices, Yu Wanyin tensed, prolonging the drizzle in the clouds.
Outside, the clanging of armor against armor echoed, each impact feeling like a blow to her fragile nerves.
Rong Si did not stop because of the rain; he grabbed Bingrun's ankle.
Yu Wanyin couldn't bear it any longer. "This is a military camp."
Rong Si looked at her slowly and deliberately, "Wasn't this the place you chose?"
He was even holding back, "taking it."
No, that won't do.
Yu Wanyin struggled free and had no choice but to say, "Let's go somewhere else."
Rong Si looked at her, then leisurely and skillfully stopped.
In the dead of night, the soldiers in the military camp were not fully rested.
The guards on duty constantly patrolled around the camp, keenly and vigilantly observing the surrounding situation.
The military boots stomped across the ground, producing a heavy, disciplined sound.
Rong Si's horses ran away from the camp again late at night.
But the soldiers on duty have no right to interfere with where their lord wants to go; they only need to guard the camp for their lord.
As night deepened, fog blanketed the area outside the city, obscuring all light and shadow in a white expanse.
Some dark clouds rolled in from the horizon, carrying with them damp moisture.
Rong Si's thick, heavy cloak completely enveloped the two of them.
Apart from that, both of them were still fully clothed, with Rong Si wrapping her up tightly.
Only in the quiet, unseen places, do some subtle undercurrents stir.
In the remote, uninhabited mountains, Yu Wanyin tugged at his sleeve, "Hurry, too fast."
Rong Si lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "The way I taught you to ride should be much faster than this."
"How did Yao Yao learn it?" Rong Si's voice was extremely low, and Yu Wanyin had some difficulty breathing.
Before she could speak, Rong Si muttered to himself in a deep voice, "Oh, so Yao Yao is learning to ride a horse, but she's only using it to run away, is that it?"
"So you're trying to avoid me, huh?"
"Then we'll ride like this from now on."
Yu Wanyin's ears tingled; she felt as if this man had gone mad.
"Don't you like running?"
Rong Si suddenly whipped his horse hard.
The horse suddenly reared up, and then the beautiful woman in his arms cried out in surprise.
"Still running?"
Rong Si gripped her waist and pressed down tightly.
The sound of horses' hooves echoed rhythmically through the quiet mountains and forests, whipping across the city meadows.
She tried to pull her legs together, but she couldn't because they were supported by the saddle beneath her.
He had tied a clean velvet blanket over the jade saddle.
And he was right behind her.
Rong Si deliberately chose the most bumpy and steep sections, and galloped away at top speed.
The horse's hooves clattered.
Each bump violently threw her out and then pulled her back.
Yu Wanyin couldn't control her tone and bit his cloak with disordered breathing.
The legs hanging down on both sides squeezed the horse's belly, as if urging it to go faster.
As a result, the speed increased and the bumps became more and more severe.
Rong Si asked ambiguously, "Is it going to rain?"
Yu Wanyin's breathy voice quickly turned into a continuous sobbing.
When they reached a forest cabin and the horses stopped, it started to rain.
The gentle rain dripped down the saddle.
The two well-proportioned legs were tense, perhaps trembling slightly from the fright of the mountain road.
Rong Si picked her up and carried her into the small wooden house that he had prepared long ago.
He knew all along that the military camp wouldn't be a place where he could relax.
This is the wooden hut they prepared the day before their march.
He had someone clean it up again before he came back.
The fire had been burning all night, making the whole house warm and cozy.
The icy-smooth person was placed in a warm nest, and the beauty's empty, unfocused eyes slowly came back to life.
Even so, he showed no intention of stopping, and shared a bed with her again, saying, "Try leaving without saying goodbye again next time."
Yu Wanyin was so startled that she tried to dodge, but he pressed her down.
Rong Si, still suppressing his anger, asked, "What is it that you can't tell me?"
“You’re not saying anything to me, Yu Wanyin.”
Completely possessed by him, Yu Wanyin helplessly murmured incoherent syllables, "Too much..."
He wouldn't listen at all, saying, "It's still a long way off."
Tell me, which home do you want to go back to?
"If you want to go home, I'll take you back."
"Do you know how dangerous it is outside right now?"
"You're most honest when you can't say anything."
After they went inside, the rain outside gradually intensified, becoming a downpour.
The trees were lush and green, and dark clouds rolled in, engulfing the night.
Layers of dense clouds obscured the sky and sun, caressing the tranquil spirits.
Rainwater quickly washed over the secluded mountain paths, accumulating little by little until it was full.
The mountain path, unable to hold back the flow, overflowed and flowed into the grass and trees below.
Everywhere you look, there are puddles full of water.
The sound of the flowing water and waterfall is continuous and gentle.
The rain lasted for a whole day and night.
The sky outside remained a gloomy gray, obscuring the sun.
Yu Wanyin spent that day and night in a daze, as if there was no end in sight.
She was like a human woman who had wandered into a forest by mistake and was captured by wild beasts, and then tirelessly oppressed in his small territory.
Yu Wanyin thought to herself, it would be better to stay in the camp.
Even though he was like that in the camp, he actually restrained himself to some extent.
By the time Yu Wanyin returned to the camp, the city had already been captured for more than two days.
Once Rong Si had his fill, he became much more magnanimous and stopped worrying about matters concerning Chu Yu.
Thinking back, when he first went to Chu Yu's camp and couldn't find her, he could vaguely tell that she hadn't specifically sought refuge with Chu Yu.
Otherwise, she would have no reason to leave.
Chu Yu wouldn't be so distracted as to constantly want to send people out to look for something.
He acted before Chu Yu, quickly determining her direction, and led his troops to attack.
Rong Si always felt that she had a scale in her heart for him and Chu Yu.
Keep what you need to keep, and throw what you need to throw away.
By not neglecting one aspect for another, one can avoid offending anyone.
Everyone is doing well, which is just like her way of handling things.
But trying not to offend anyone is the same as offending everyone.
They found a house in the city where they could still rest, so they let Yu Wanyin stay there as well.
Ultimately, it is inconvenient for a woman to be with many men.
Yu Wanyin doesn't need to do anything.
She only needed to lean against the window and watch them pack everything up.
Rong Si mainly packed up all her things.
Yu Wanyin would steal glances at him from time to time.
She couldn't quite understand how anyone could have so much energy.
She feels weak even to move her fingers, while he, on the other hand, is full of energy.
On the contrary, he seemed more energetic.
She occasionally overheard the soldiers chatting outside.
She said, "It's different when the Queen returns; even the Lord looks kinder now."
Does he look kind?
Yu Wanyin glanced at him again.
Why doesn't she think so?
But she could tell that these new recruits were all afraid of him.
He dared not utter a single word in front of Rong Si.
However, if he were in normal circumstances, he would be just like the day she first met him—fierce and ruthless.
It's quite scary.
Rong Si was quickly called out, and Yu Wanyin leaned against the window alone.
After a while, someone knocked on the door from the outside.
Yu Wanyin slowly got up to open the door and found it was Su Fang.
Su Fang was somewhat surprised and peeked into the room, "My lord, he..."
"He went out, are you looking for him?"
“No,” Su Fang hesitated, thinking that it would be fine to give this to the Queen. “Um, I’ll deliver the medicine to the Lord.”
He handed over the porcelain bottle in his hand.
medicine.
Yu Wanyin took it, and her fingertips inevitably touched the boy's fingers.
Unfortunately, Su Fang handed him this particular medicine, and he visibly became uneasy.
Unaware of what was going on, Yu Wanyin flipped through the papers. "What kind of medicine is this?"
Su Fang scratched his head, stammered for a long time, and still dared not look Yu Wanyin in the eye.
Yu Wanyin asked again, "I noticed he needed to take medicine a couple of days ago. Is he sick?"
"It's neither an illness nor a problem," Su Fang said, finding it difficult to explain. "You should wait for the lord to return and ask him."
He said he was about to leave the yard.
Seeing how fast he was running, Yu Wanyin felt uneasy and said, "Stop."
Su Fang had no choice but to stop again.
Yu Wanyin stepped forward and asked, "What illness does he have? Is it serious?"
In her mind, only those extremely dangerous illnesses were so difficult to talk about.
"you tell me."
“I won’t tell him it was you who said it.”
Su Fang is young and can't say these words in a short time.
Especially since he was speaking to Yu Wanyin, a woman, he said, "Your Majesty, perhaps you should just pretend you don't have this illness."
"That won't do."
"My lord," Su Fang said in a low voice, having no other choice, "Your lord has a sexual addiction."
"This is a suppressant."
Yu Wanyin had prepared herself mentally, thinking it would be some kind of fierce, incurable disease.
Upon hearing this, her ears instantly burned. "What, addiction?"
Su Fang would never repeat himself a second time, "That queen should rest well."
He said that and then ran out.
Yu Wanyin snapped out of her daze, her expression turning flustered.
Could it be that addiction she's thinking about?
Yu Wanyin looked at the porcelain bottle in her hand and instantly felt as if she had taken a hot potato.
She suddenly regretted asking the question earlier.
It's better not to know, because once you know, some things become reasonable and clear.
Whenever Yu Wanyin thought about it, her lower back would start to ache.
She felt very awkward. Su Fang was right; she might as well pretend she didn't know.
Rong Si kept it from her because he still had some reservations.
But if she finds out, does that mean he will act without restraint and without any scruples?
People who are sick often have some reason to act recklessly.
She turned back into the house, about to put the medicine bottle into Rong Si's wooden box.
A guard's voice came from outside, "My lord."
For some reason, Yu Wanyin's hand trembled.
The medicine bottle fell from the side of the wooden box onto the table, rolled over with a gurgling sound, and before Yu Wanyin could catch it, it smashed to the ground with a "thud"!
Just then, Rong Si's footsteps stopped at the door.
Rong Si watched this scene quietly, his gaze shifting from the shattered porcelain bottle to her.
Yu Wanyin dared not look him in the eye, and squatted down to pick up the broken pieces of porcelain from the ground.
She could hear Rong Si walking towards her.
He didn't say much, and squatted down beside her.
Take the porcelain shard from her hand.
When he was discovered, he was incredibly frank, saying, "Go sit down."
Yu Wanyin paused for a moment, then stood up and walked away, explaining, "Su Fang just delivered it."
Rong Si did not respond.
Yu Wanyin felt uneasy. "I accidentally fell. Will it cause a lot of trouble?"
“It’s no trouble.” Rong Si picked up the things and threw them aside, keeping a close eye on her. “It’s just that without the medicine, you’ll be in more trouble.”
Yu Wanyin had just picked up the bowl of nourishing soup on the table.
I wasn't sure if that's what he meant, but I took the opportunity to drink a couple more sips of the nourishing soup.
I couldn't help but glance at Rong Si a few more times.
Just then, Rong Si noticed that she was secretly watching him.
Yu Wanyin casually looked away.
Rong Si did not give up. After putting his things away, he walked over to her and sat down in front of her in a presumptuous and casual manner.
Even the chair beneath him creaked roughly as he moved. "Tell me about it."
Yu Wanyin pursed her lips. "What did you say?"
"Tell me, where do you want to go, and what kind of home do you want to go back to?"
Yu Wanyin put down the soup bowl, remained silent for a moment, and then asked him to confirm, "Are you really going back with me?"
"If I don't go back with you, who will?"
He spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, but Yu Wanyin sounded a little guilty.
After all, Chu Yu had said something similar.
Previously, those two men were both very good at keeping her under their control.
He said she wasn't allowed to go anywhere, that he would hide her, and that he would catch her and bring her back no matter where she ran.
She ran away, but instead, he insisted on going home with her.
Yu Wanyin thinks that running away was still useful.
It's like if she said she wanted to remove the window, most people wouldn't agree.
But if she says she wants to demolish the house, they'll agree to let her remove the windows.
Yu Wanyin gestured, "Then what about these people?"
"Do they have to have me?" Rong Si frowned, leaning against the side, looking fierce. "I didn't marry them."
Rong Si said sarcastically, "Oh, you don't necessarily need me."
Yu Wanyin took a sip of tea to cover her mouth.
After a moment of silence, she asked him the same question as Chu Yu.
"If you want to come home with me, are you going to give up everything you have now?"
“What do I have now?” Rong Si didn’t think he had anything now. “The territory has been divided among the local people. It belongs to them, not mine. I only send troops to help them. These soldiers can live their own lives after they are discharged from the army and return to their fields.”
"I'll live my life, they can live theirs."
Yu Wanyin asked, "What about the village?"
Rong Si raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "You still want me to go back to being a bandit?"
Yu Wan was speechless.
really.
That was out of necessity in the past.
There's no need for Rong Si to live on the mountain with a group of people now.
If people's lives were better, who would want to be a bandit forever?
They hid in the mountains.
Rong Si spoke up at the opportune moment, "Now tell me, if Shang'an is gone, which home do you want to go back to?"
Yu Wanyin remained silent for a while.
She put down her cup before saying, "Shanshan."
"Shanshan?" Rong Si looked at her. "You still have a home in Shanshan."
"Um."
Rong Si licked his back teeth.
It's well hidden.
This was the first time he had heard that she had a family in Shanshan after being married for so long.
“My mother is from Shanshan. She came to the Central Plains with the princess for a political marriage and stayed here.” Yu Wanyin gently turned the porcelain cup in her hand, carefully telling him about her mother’s family situation.
There were also aunts and older sisters.
However, she hadn't seen them since she was six years old, and didn't know their specific circumstances.
It's just a few letters every few months that give you a general idea.
However, my elder sister doesn't often talk about what's going on at home. When chatting with her, we usually talk about things like horseback riding, archery, and the scenery of mountains and rivers.
At most, I'll talk about my aunt and her daily life.
They seem to live a carefree life, like in a paradise.
There's nothing to worry about.
At most, that is, the occasional injustices seen in the city.
There must be some worries.
Just like her, she wouldn't use those few sheets of paper to tell them about her troubles.
They were told all sorts of interesting stories about the Central Plains.
Like the New Year festival, there are lanterns, poetry parades, and pastries and snacks.
There are many rules and restrictions.
My sister always says that if only the Central Plains had their freedom, and they could have the prosperity of the Central Plains.
Is it prosperous?
Yu Wanyin thought it was all an illusion.
The last dynasty, prosperity turned to ashes.
After Yu Wanyin finished speaking with Rong Si, including the details of her correspondence with her elder sister and aunt, they agreed to meet in Gan Ning.
She also told him everything about how she had run here, asked at the post station, and learned that her elder sister and the others had not yet replied.
There was a brief silence and quiet inside.
Rong Si didn't say much, only one sentence: "I understand."
About three to five days later.
Rong Si brought back a letter and handed it to her.
Yu Wanyin took it and immediately saw the parchment seal on it.
She immediately sat up straight and tore open the envelope. "Where did you get this from?"
The ink on the letter was fresher than usual, suggesting it was written recently.
Like her, they left messages at the post stations in each city they visited, informing her of their progress.
Rong Si sat down beside him and said, "I've sent people to stake out the post stations in nearby cities. If anyone receives a letter, I'll have them deliver it to us."
The letter began with, "My dearest, though we are far apart, seeing this letter feels like seeing you in person."
Below was familiar handwriting, informing her that they had received her letter.
They were approaching Wan'an Port, but the area behind it had all become Yanzhou territory, making passage difficult. They asked her if she would be willing to come to Wan'an Port to welcome them.
Rong Si gestured, "Shall we go?"
Yu Wanyin hurriedly said, "Go."
I definitely have to go.
Wan'an Port also belongs to Jinzhou, and it is only a three-day land journey and a three-day water journey from their current city.
It's not that far.
Rong Si nodded. "Then we'll set off in a couple of days."
This swift decision made Yu Wanyin look at him for a moment, "We are..."
"I'll take a group of men with you; let them hold the rear first."
Taking her to find her relatives wouldn't be convenient with a large entourage.
That's no different from declaring war.
Rong Si explained, "I've arranged everything else."
"You don't need to worry about things in the barracks."
Currently, he has gathered a group of capable generals within his jurisdiction, who are stationed in various places.
The number of capable men in the army is not small, but there are plenty.
Any one of them can be used to fight the enemy.
Moreover, given the vast territory he now occupies, and the fact that it's not just one city, he can't possibly attend to every detail.
Being adept at deploying and managing troops is of paramount importance.
He grew up in the military and knows some of the rules and regulations.
Moreover, Yu Wanyin also gave him several military books, which classified military ranks and assigned them to guard cities and garrisons.
The places where the military camps are located are simply the places where the main force of the expedition is located.
He gave the order to attack.
It doesn't matter if he leaves for a while.
Zong Chengneng can take over.
If he can't fill the gap, there are others.
If something goes wrong and can't be resolved without him, then this army is no different from a pile of loose sand.
They wouldn't have fought this far in the first place.
Rong Si said, "Let's take you to meet your family first. It's not safe outside, so we'll bring them over and we'll all go together."
"It's up to you."
Yu Wanyin stared at him for a while.
He seemed somewhat surprised by this decision, in which he had a significant say.
Rong Si noticed her gaze, looked up to meet her eyes, and asked, "What are you looking at?"
As he spoke, he slammed a porcelain vase onto the table with a "bang".
His movements carried a hint of ruthlessness. "How about we take a look at this first?"
Yu Wanyin trembled slightly at the sound.
A quick glance at the bottle made him even more guilty.
That was her contraceptive.
Yu Wanyin dodged the question, trying to avoid the topic, "Do you really have to say all this at this time?"
She was just a little...
Rong Si was extremely concerned, so of course he had to ask, "What's wrong with these?"
"This wasn't something you hid? You dislike me that much?"
Yu Wanyin was speechless, "I didn't dislike you."
But she really didn't want his child.
“I’m taking medication, so you can’t get pregnant,” Rong Si said, just as she had expected. He exposed his lust and became unrestrained. He casually pulled back the sheets. “Yaoyao, come here yourself.”
His eyes seemed to say, "Come and be punished."
As expected, after Rong Si finished speaking, he sat by the bed and looked at her.
Yu Wanyin met his gaze and roughly knew what he meant.
A sudden ache ran down my lower abdomen.
A warm, slightly tingling sensation spread down my lower abdomen.
It's like an instinctive reaction that's been formed from being touched too much.
Yu Wanyin whispered, "We're setting off tomorrow."
Rong Si stood up straight and walked forward, saying, "You don't need to walk."
His shadow loomed over her, and Yu Wanyin shrank back. "Wait a minute..."
Before she could finish speaking, he picked her up!
Rong Si spoke bluntly, "Wait for what? Wait for you to take your medicine?"
"Can't we just let it go?" That's the only time she ate it.
"No." He was still fierce. "I finally recovered, and you secretly gave me this kind of medicine?"
The lamps inside were extinguished, leaving the room in complete darkness.
The gauze curtains also tumbled and fell, eliciting a few gasps of surprise.
In early spring, the weather is still chilly despite the warming trend.
After the port thaws, it will be the season for fishing and shipping to resume.
The newly occupied cities recovered quickly and were restored to their original state in no time.
The people, having tested the waters, found that the newly arrived soldiers did not interfere much with their daily lives, and gradually restored the surrounding agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishing industries.
Qin Yuan was summoned by Rong Si for questioning, and his entire fortune was thoroughly investigated.
They detained her for two more days to confirm that there were no problems before releasing her and allowing her to travel together.
After all, Qin Yuan had met Yu Wanyin's family.
Even Yu Wanyin herself couldn't recognize her, so she had to be taken along.
The port is just outside the city.
The army had no ships and fought only land battles.
To board the ship, one needs to take a nearby merchant ship that arrives in early spring, as they are more experienced in traveling by water.
Merchant ships don't come every day.
We need to wait for a caravan to arrive so we can board the ship.
During wartime, merchant ships carried fewer people.
Occasionally, they also do ferry work; you can get a boat berth if you pay them.
It was still a bit chilly at the ferry crossing early in the morning.

This is not only convenient for them in some ways, but also safe and allows them to avoid disturbing each other.
The houses upstairs are indeed more spacious.
Open the window and you can see the vast and expansive river.
A cool river breeze blew in, ruffling Yu Wanyin's hair.
Meanwhile, the top floor houses.
A gentle breeze swept through the window, drying the ink and brushes on the desk.
Chu Yu looked at the map on the table and figured out where Yu Wanyin might pass through if she wanted to go home.
Just then, I suddenly heard some chaotic and disorderly footsteps.
