He, who was never short of money, regarded money as dirt.
But now, because of Qiu Yan, he has witnessed the realities of life and experienced many aspects of daily life.
Therefore, he gained a new understanding of money.
Another day passed, and dawn broke.
Qiu Yan went out for her morning exercise as usual.
Behind her, Gu Qian followed, and at Qiu Yan's request, he taught her moves and light footwork, just like before.
"Yan Yan, it's been a long time since I last saw you. Your skills have improved a lot."
"Really?" Qiu Yan practiced diligently every day, and in a short period of time, she had already mastered the essentials of lightness skill. However, mastering lightness skill is not something that can be achieved in a day, so she still needs to practice hard.
On her way home, Qiu Yan noticed that Gu Qian seemed preoccupied, and his mood also became gloomy.
She asked Gu Qian:
"But have you encountered any difficulties?"
She had guessed that Gu Qian had won the battle, but she also knew that this victory was only temporary, and the enemy could return at any time. "Tell me about it, maybe I can help you."
Although Qiu Yan felt sorry for Gu Qian and worked tirelessly day and night, war was inevitable.
"Yan Yan".
Gu Qian turned around, thought for a moment, and continued:
"The Northern Qi used every trick in the book, traveling around to persuade neighboring states to submit to it and willingly submit to its power."
In recent days, their army has grown to nearly two million.
Qiu Yan immediately knew, "It must be the fisherman who's causing trouble."
It seems that war is imminent.
“The fisherman…” Gu Qian’s knuckles cracked as he gritted his teeth and said, “After destroying Northern Qi, my next target will be him!”
"That's not appropriate." Qiu Yan shook her head, indicating her disapproval.
Why?
"In my opinion, we should deal with him first, then deal with Northern Qi." Qiu Yan also disliked Qin Feng.
Lacking the ability to take revenge himself, he spends his days plotting to exploit Dongjin; such behavior is that of a petty person.
Qiu Yan took out the saltpeter she had collected over this period of time, saying, "Take these first."
"I'll listen to you." Gu Qian felt that what Qiu Yan said made a lot of sense.
He hugged Qiu Yan's slender body.
His Yan Yan is talented and courageous; if she were a man, she would be no less capable than him on the battlefield.
No, Gu Qian shook his head, feeling Qiu Yan's warm body temperature, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
He alone could bear the hardships of the battlefield.
Yan Yan can only be his wife.
Without realizing it, he thought of the thousands of soldiers who were engaged in procurement and sales. They had been gone for many days and should have returned long ago.
Similarly, Qiu Yan thought of this as well, "Have the people from the Western Regions returned?"
If they return, the war will end quickly.
"Not yet." Gu Qian shook his head. Only Yan Yan knew him well.
"Will those soldiers who went to the Western Regions to purchase goods encounter any obstacles?"
Upon hearing this, a flash of hatred crossed Gu Qian's eyes.
That must be true.
"Yan Yan, stay home and don't worry. Qin Feng alone is no match for me."
It's all his fault for being too busy with the war and having no time to spare, which gave Qin Feng an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Qiu Yan lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought.
"I have to go." Gu Qian's eyes were filled with deep reluctance.
"Hmm." With the nation in peril, Qiu Yan was deeply worried about Gu Qian, and at this moment, all she could say was:
Qiu Yan nodded seriously, "Yes, I said I believed you."
At Qiu Yan's request, Gu Qian hastily ate breakfast and then rode away.
After Gu Qian left, Qiu Yan's life returned to normal.
While managing her business, she also went to Qingyun to continue mining saltpeter.
In the past few days, new ideas have been unconsciously sprouting in her mind.
That is, to go to the Western Regions.
However, she had three ties that prevented her from leaving, so she temporarily abandoned the idea.
