The nights at Blue Moon Pass were long and cold. The meeting hall was small, divided only into a front hall and a backyard.
Xie Wanyun lived alone in a small courtyard. She felt distressed when she heard Yan Suizhi's uncontrollable cough coming faintly from the front hall. She had originally wanted to give Yan Suizhi the furs and herbs when no one was around, but Liu Sheng was always there.
I didn't find an opportunity until I had dinner and returned to my residence, which was already night.
At this moment, she listened to the coughing, and the more she listened, the more distressed she became. She didn't care about anything else and asked Yuzhui to go and find Qingshu.
Yuzhui agreed and went. A moment later, Qingshu came over. Xie Wanyun stuffed him with the fox fur coat and bear fur blanket he had prepared, along with some cough pills.
Qingshu's eyes turned red, and he was about to kneel down to express his gratitude. Xie Wanyun grabbed him and told him to be quiet and go back quickly, as it would be disastrous if someone saw him.
Qingshu wiped her tears, picked up her things and left in a hurry.
The next morning, Xie Wanyun got up and went to the front hall. Seeing Yan Suizhi's fox fur coat, the corners of her lips raised involuntarily.
Yan Suizhi's eyes sparkled as he pointed at the medicine box, indicating that he had just taken a pill.
Just as Xie Wanyun was about to speak, Liu Sheng's loud voice rang out at the door.
"Mrs. Xie, why are you up so early? Haven't you had breakfast yet? There's nothing good in the army, so we can only make do with what we have. Haha."
“…”Why are you everywhere, General Liu?
Yan Suizhi and Xie Wanyun exchanged helpless glances.
Liu Sheng was very enthusiastic and brought his cooks to put breakfast on the table: a bowl of porridge, a large plate of meat patties, and two bowls of pickled vegetables.
Liu Sheng greeted her, "Madam Xie, please come in. I've specially prepared meat patties for your visit today. In the past, Lord Yan and I only had flatbreads. Damn it, those people in the capital are always complaining about our high costs and they're holding up their military pay. Why don't we send them to the border and see what happens?"
As he said this, he glared at Yan Suizhi with dissatisfaction.
Yan Suizhi: “…”
Xie Wanyun said, "General Liu, you have worked hard."
Liu Sheng ate his pie with big mouthfuls and suddenly sighed, "Eating a meat pie is so rare these days. What am I doing here? Isn't it good to be a general in Shangjing in peace and stability? Why did I have to come to Blue Moon Pass to suffer and offend others?"
After saying that, he glared at Yan Suizhi again.
Yan Suizhi just pretended not to see it.
Xie Wanyun was a little amused. She also knew that this general was outspoken and loud, but he was a loyal and courageous man.
He hated Huang Yanjing, and by the way, he also hated Yan Suizhi.
"The general is devoted to the country, and the emperor knows it, otherwise he would not agree with your proposal." Yan Suizhi said.
"That makes sense. Just based on this sentence, I know that you are different from Huang Yanjing and you still have some conscience."
Liu Sheng finished his meal quickly and stood up, saying, "I still need to go check on the army. Please enjoy your meal."
"Goodbye, General." The two said in unison.
When Liu Sheng was there, the two of them wished he would leave quickly, but when he left, they felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"Lord Yan, I've finished eating too." Xie Wanyun stood up.
Yan Suizhi glanced at the soldier at the door and whispered, "Are you not used to the food?"
Seeing him like this, Xie Wanyun suddenly relaxed and said with a smile: "It's okay, I want to go out for a walk."
Yan Suizhi immediately stood up and said loudly, "I will go with my wife."
The two of them left the front hall and crossed the empty training ground. Scattered snowflakes drifted from the sky, and the wind was biting. Yan Suizhi couldn't help but wrap his cloak tightly around himself.
Xie Wanyun glanced at him and said, "You'd better go back. It's too cold."
"It's okay, I'll accompany you. Meimei, it's rare for us to walk around together like this." Yan Suizhi said with a smile.
"I really didn't expect you to come, and bring so many military supplies and medicinal materials. I don't know if Huang Yanjing will recognize this money, but don't worry, I will definitely find a way."
Xie Wanyun smiled. "Everyone says I'm the richest man, so I can afford this."
Yan Suizhi laughed, "Meimei, do you want to visit the place where you lived back then?"
Xie Wanyun shook his head and said with a wry smile, "There's nothing left. I won't go."
