Seeing his general quicken his pace, Deputy General Zhang behind him rolled his eyes.
At that moment, Qin Qinggang, who was inside the tent, had just finished talking with Mu Shen when he inadvertently noticed the scar on Mu Shen's forehead, and a pang of sadness welled up in his heart.
"Ah Shen, what is this...?"
Mu Shen's expression suddenly flickered, and he subconsciously adjusted his hat, then his body stiffened.
"No...nothing at all, Mother, you must have seen wrong."
After saying that, he shut his mouth and didn't say a word, but Qin Qing clearly caught the fleeting grievance in his eyes!
This was exactly like the honest, hardworking eldest son in the original owner's memories. Qin Qing sighed slightly, raised her hand to pull away Mu Shen's hand covering his forehead, her expression full of tenderness.
"It will never happen again! We will be alright!"
At that moment, the figure who had just arrived at the door froze, staring blankly at the woman inside whose face was full of tenderness and heartache, feeling utterly powerless...
Perhaps, the two of them were not meant to be! Well, it's fine. Someone like him, who could be in danger at any moment, couldn't provide Qin with a peaceful life anyway, so why should he get entangled with her?
The man turned around stiffly, his face showing an unprecedented sense of loss and loneliness. Deputy General Zhang had just caught up when he saw him like this. Before he could say anything, he caught sight of the two people inside the room who were being affectionate, and immediately shut his mouth.
Could it be that the Qin family really is...?
This night is destined to be sleepless...
Legend has it that on this night, Wang Yan, a general of the Tianlong Kingdom, charged alone into the enemy camp on horseback, his murderous aura overwhelming, like a mad god of death. He went straight for the enemy general's head, stunning everyone present! This caused the enemy army to be filled with terror, and their morale collapsed...
It is said that the soldiers on night watch at the Tianlong Kingdom's camp saw their general covered in blood, carrying a bag in one hand, his face as stern as ever, but his eyes were chilling, before dawn...
The next day, the enemy took the initiative to cede territory and sue for peace. Everyone was bewildered and had no idea what had happened.
Qin Qing woke up to the news and, before she could even feel happy, rushed to the vanguard camp. She only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Mu Shen safe and sound.
That noon, the army issued an order to reorganize and would return to the capital soon.
Before the mother and her two children could exchange more than a few words, Qin Qing hurriedly took his leave. After all, they were going to the capital, while he had to return to Qingcheng. He only told them to be careful and gave them his address before leaving the military camp that afternoon.
Inside the tent, Wang Yan was covered in bloody wounds, his face extremely pale, yet he remained silent and solemn, showing no trace of the frenzied killing he had endured the previous night.
An Ziyun exclaimed in amazement.
"The General is truly remarkable; he can remain conscious even after all this! With injuries like that, a normal person would have already passed out!"
Deputy General Zhang watched Wang Yan silently from the side, and glared at An Ziyun upon hearing this.
"Dr. An, you should just focus on doing your job. Nobody thinks you're mute!"
An Ziyun was furious. He was already unhappy about being forced to become a military doctor in the first place, and now that Qin Qing was gone, he still had many questions to ask! He couldn't wait to leave, yet this guy still had this attitude!
"Did I say something wrong? I'm not as gentle as Sister Qin. The General himself was risking his life, charging in alone to his death. What's wrong with me saying a few words?"
Deputy General Zhang choked, unsure how to respond for a moment.
Seeing this, An Ziyun snorted coldly and muttered something under his breath.
"I wonder where Sister Qin went. She left without even saying goodbye. If I hadn't just gone to look for Mu Bo..."
Before he could finish speaking, a stunned voice reached his ears.
"She's gone?"
An Ziyun didn't understand anything and responded subconsciously.
"Yeah, they left in the middle of the day without even waiting for me. I wanted to know how that transparent tube was made, and how blood transfusions are performed..."
Ever since discovering Qin Qing's unique healing skills, he has been calling her "Sister Qin" repeatedly, even though Qin Qing is more than ten years older than him... After talking for a while, no one responded to him anymore, so An Ziyun looked up at Deputy General Zhang.
"You're so unfair! I already answered you, why are you ignoring me? Why are you asking this? You wouldn't happen to like my Sister Qin, would you? Let me tell you, forget about it. Everyone says Vice General Zhang and his wife are a perfect couple, but it turns out they're nothing special..."
Another long, rambling speech followed, which made Deputy General Zhang's face darken, but Wang Yan didn't say another word.
After a moment, he closed his eyes and said solemnly.
"Return to the capital in triumph tomorrow morning! No one is to be delayed!"
Qin Qing also embarked on her journey back, and it is believed that the family will be reunited soon...
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, she had been in the military camp for nearly two months. Unlike the cold air when she arrived, it was now late spring, and the surroundings were full of vitality. This made her miss her lovely little grandchildren very much.
Before Qin Qing could even enjoy the fresh air around him, he heard the sound of horses' hooves echoing in the distance behind him…
She turned around in surprise and quickly retreated to a large tree by the roadside. The two men didn't seem to notice her and appeared to be in a great hurry.
Qin Qing frowned, feeling that the figure from just now seemed somewhat familiar…
With these questions in mind, Qin Qing continued on his way. Soon after, a teahouse appeared ahead. Although it was somewhat simple, it was quite well-equipped.
"Waiter, bring me a pot of tea and a few steamed buns!"
She was tired after walking for half a day...
"Brother, if the master finds out the mission wasn't completed, what will happen to us...?"
A soft murmur reached Qin Qing's ears, but she didn't pay much attention and continued drinking her tea.
"Don't say anything more, or the walls may have ears!"
As he spoke, the man glanced at Qin Qing, and seeing that she didn't react, he felt relieved.
However, he did not see Qin Qing's suddenly widened eyes and slightly trembling hands.
That voice... it's exactly the same as the man who threatened Mu Shen that night!
Thinking of this, she subtly glanced to the side, only to catch a glimpse of a kind-looking man and a handsome young man, both completely different from the ordinary-looking man she had seen that night…
Disguise?
The possibility flashed through Qin Qing's mind instantly. She took a deep breath, suppressed her nervousness, and forced herself to calm down. She then took out her phone from her spatial storage and began recording without making a sound. Perhaps it was meaningless, but it might be useful! She then focused on eavesdropping on the conversation between the two.
"Brother, there's hardly anyone here, just a woman. Let's ignore her! We're the ones who will definitely be punished when we get back, right? Fourth Brother even got arrested..."
Upon hearing this, the handsome young man took a small sip of tea, his expression becoming somewhat solemn, and responded in a low voice.
