Chapter 369 Capture Alive
Lin Anyuan's appearance was like a timely rain.
The situation was stabilized, and the antidote was also brought, saving General Wei's life.
Wei Shitou's leg was saved, but he was left with a disability and will not be able to go to the battlefield for a while.
"General Wei, you're awake."
Wei Shitou's voice was weak as he spoke, "I'm relieved to see you here."
"I've gotten used to marching and fighting alongside my father over the years. This time, I suffered such a huge loss while leading the army all by myself. My father will definitely laugh at me to death when I get back."
Nanzhao was indeed a tough nut to crack; the terrain was too complex, and those people were like slippery eels.
"Being alive is better than anything else."
After Lin Anyuan finished reading General Wei's report, he was about to get back to work when a dark-skinned monkey rushed over.
"father!"
When they got closer, Lin Anyuan recognized that the dark-skinned monkey was Sanya.
Sanya has grown taller and is as dark as charcoal. She saw Lin Anyuan and flashed a set of white teeth. "I heard that Mother gave birth to a little brother. Who does he look like?"
"She looks like your mother." Lin Anyuan looked Sanya up and down, and seeing that she had gotten a tan but hadn't changed much, he was relieved.
“It’s good that he looks like Mom. Mom is beautiful, so my little brother must be handsome too. When I go back, I’ll teach him martial arts. Dad, did you bring me anything when you came this time?”
Sanya talked for a long time before remembering Wei Ye who was next to her.
Wei Ye bowed to Lin Anyuan and went to see his father.
"When you're in the army, you should address me as General. Come to my tent and let me speak."
Lin Anyuan took Sanya to his own tent.
The heat and humidity here are unbearable, and Lin Anyuan is not used to it at all.
Sanya was even more unaccustomed to it. When she first arrived, she did not hide her identity as a woman. She was secretly harassed and targeted countless times. Sanya never mentioned these things in the letters she sent home, but Lin Anyuan found out after he arrived.
Facing his grown-up daughter, Lin Anyuan didn't know what to say. He offered a few words of concern and then took out a package.
"Your mother prepared this for you."
"Beef jerky?" Sanya's eyes lit up when she opened it.
Lin Anyuan was in a hurry, and since he was riding at full speed, he didn't bring much with him; these were the majority of what he had divided up.
Sanya ran into Wei Ye as she went out and called out to him, "Wei Ye, let me share some with you too."
Thank you.
Wei Ye laughed; he was now as dark-skinned as San Ya.
"Why are you being so polite with me?"
The two had already formed a bond of life and death on the battlefield.
...
...
As the weather gradually warmed up after the New Year, Ye Wan received invitations from many families, including the family of Imperial Censor He.
However, it's spring planting season and she's busy, so she doesn't have time to go.
Later, after Huigu reminded her, she remembered that these families might want to marry her.
Speaking of marriage, Ye Wan thought of Madam Pei, who seemed to have been quiet lately.
However, Ye Wan was not in a hurry at all because she thought Er Ya and San Ya were too young.
A year passed in the blink of an eye, and Er Ya's business grew bigger and bigger. Now she is in Jiangnan.
Ye Hua, Ye Cao, and Da Ya are all over there; only Ye Wan, Hui Gu, and Ming Qian remain in the Princess's residence.
"Mingqian, your mother is going to the palace today. Do you want to come with me?"
Ye Wan is going to see Empress Lin Suyi today.
Every so often, Ye Wan would go to the palace. She liked to talk to Lin Suyi, and Emperor Jing was happy for her to go.
“Go.” Xiao Mingqian stretched out his two chubby little hands.
The little kid is chubby and cute.
Ye Wan looked at him and saw that he resembled both Lin Anyuan and herself, and couldn't help but laugh, picking him up in her arms.
"Qian-ge'er is talking so early! Many children this age still can't talk." Aunt Hui looked at Lin Mingqian.
When Ye Wan goes out, she leaves her child with Hui Gu, as she doesn't trust anyone else to take care of him.
Hui-gu is healthy, has sharp hearing and eyesight, is skilled in medicine and poisons, and is also quite capable; she can examine anything that enters her mouth.
"Auntie, you're a typical child who always thinks their own things are better and that other people's things are better. There are plenty of smart children out there; it's not unusual for a one-year-old to be able to talk."
Ye Wan didn't think her son was particularly smart; she just found him incredibly cute.
Having children seems to make time fly by.
Today, Huigu accompanied her to the palace, and she also took the opportunity to catch up with her old friends.
"Can Mingqian walk yet?"
Lin Suyi looked at the little child who stood steadily, slightly surprised.
Since there was nothing else to do, Lin Suying wore her usual clothes. Even so, Ye Wan still liked to look at her every time they met.
"You already know how to do it." Ye Wan thought children were truly amazing.
It's as if he'll suddenly leave one day.
"Little brother, little brother." The crown prince saw Lin Mingqian and wanted to hug him.
Lin Suyi laughed, "This isn't your younger brother, this is your nephew."
It's quite funny that Lin Anyuan has such a young younger brother.
The crown prince also grinned.
Ye Wan couldn't help but burst out laughing, mainly because he looked so much like Lin Anyuan, even more so than Lin Mingqian, his own son.
Seeing him smile always makes me feel like a miniature version of Lin Anyuan is grinning foolishly, sometimes I can't even stop drooling.
"Your Highness, would you like to eat this?" Ye Wan asked, taking Lin Mingqian's teething stick.
"I want to eat." The Crown Prince was a few months older than Lin Mingqian and could already speak many words.
"Sister-in-law, nephew, want to play together?"
The Crown Prince looked at Ye Wan obediently. Ye Wan understood what he meant; he was asking if Lin Mingqian could stay in the palace and play together.
The prince thought his sister-in-law was really nice; every time she came, she would bring him delicious food, and he could play with his younger brother.
"Then you have to ask him if he agrees or not." Ye Wan felt that she was deliberately teasing a child; what could a child possibly know?
As a result, the Crown Prince pulled Lin Mingqian aside and spoke to him in baby talk for a while. It was unclear whether Lin Mingqian understood him or not, but he nodded.
Ye Wan: ...
She was completely convinced and told her son, "Then you're not allowed to cry at night."
Not knowing if he could understand, Ye Wan asked again before leaving, and her son really did stay to accompany the Crown Prince.
"Madam, are you having trouble sleeping? Are you missing Qian-ge'er?"
Back home, Huigu noticed that Ye Wan wasn't sleeping and asked her why.
“You noticed. I didn’t realize it when he was around every day, but now that he’s suddenly gone, I feel a void in my heart.”
Ye Wan suddenly felt very uncomfortable being all alone.
"Since he's all alone, let's have hot pot tonight."
"Right now?"
Huigu glanced at the sky. "Eating this so late, aren't you afraid of indigestion tomorrow?"
"Yes, right now."
Ye Wan just wants to eat right now; she's impulsive and doesn't follow her own desires.
Standing in the courtyard, Ye Wan looked up at the moon in the sky.
It feels like the New Year is almost here again. I wonder if Lin Anyuan and the three girls will be able to come back before the New Year.
...
...
"The King of Nanzhao has been captured alive!"
