Qin Feng: "If they can do it, why can't I?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the rafters of the Qiu family's house, at the two men raising their cups to drink, Ling Qi and Ling Ba. "Am I not as good as these two young generals?"
"They're here to protect me, but what about you?"
"I can protect you too." Qin Feng had already anticipated the outcome.
"You?"
Qiu Yan looked Qin Feng up and down from head to toe, then shook her head.
"So be it. Even without a map, Dongjin will still crush Northern Qi!"
After saying that, Qiu Yan turned around and paced back to sleep.
Unexpectedly, Qin Feng reached out and handed over the handkerchief in his hand.
"I'll give it to you."
Qiu Yan glanced at the bloodstains on the handkerchief with a puzzled look, but did not reach out. Instead, she continued walking.
"You don't want it?" As Qin Feng withdrew his hand, Qiu Yan paused, turned around, and took the handkerchief.
Then, I took it in my hand and examined it carefully.
"Don't tell me this is a map."
Despite thinking this, she looked at it from left to right, and no matter how she looked at it, it was just an ordinary handkerchief.
Qin Feng: "Take a closer look."
Qiu Yan held up a handkerchief and carefully examined it under the candlelight.
This sight filled her with joy.
Indeed, fine outlines were drawn on it.
However, the candlelight was too dim, and the handkerchief, being gray and too small, was not clearly visible.
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow: "Didn't you say you didn't want it? Give it back to me."
"Yes, did I say I didn't want it?" Qiu Yan complained inwardly to Ling Qi, how could he not find such an important thing?
Actually, she really misunderstood Ling Qi.
It wasn't that Ling Qi couldn't find it; it's just that the handkerchief was covered in blood at the time.
Ling Qi wanted to throw it away, but Bai Lu stopped her.
Bai Lu said that it would be best for His Highness to decide on his own affairs.
Qiu Yan: "Did you draw this?"
Qin Feng: "No, it was made by the prince of Northern Qi."
Qiu Yan thought to herself: It seems that the Northern Qi is in complete disarray.
"The Fourth Prince of Northern Qi."
Qin Feng: "How do you know everything?"
“I also know that he was killed by you more than a year ago.”
Qin Feng was taken aback; even the Qi Emperor was unaware of such a closely guarded secret.
"Why does Gu Qian tell you everything? What does he take you for, a strategist? Or a military advisor?"
Qiu Yan: "He's like a strategist." A military advisor wields real power.
She got up and went out of the house.
Qin Feng stared at her retreating figure and said in a deep voice, "Did you tell him the gunpowder formula?"
Qiu Yan: "..." How did he guess?
She had just stepped out of the house when, turning her head, she saw two men, one tall and one short.
Her second uncle and Qiu Xu are keeping a close eye on her.
This scene left Qiu Yan feeling incredibly awkward...
Fortunately, the door was open the whole time.
Qiu Xu: "Sister, don't let your senior brother down." He was afraid that his sister would fall in love with someone else.
"No, it won't happen," Qiu Yan said firmly. "Ah Xu, go back to your room and sleep."
"Okay." Qiu Xu silently returned to his room.
Qiu Dafu paused for a moment, then asked, "Xiaoyan, can you tell your second uncle why you kept him?"
...
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the villagers wore new clothes and new pants, showing a fresh start.
Amidst the blessings, the children grew another year older.
Early in the morning, Qiu Ling'er and her siblings, along with Gu Xiaoran, all had bulging purses.
Jiang Liu prepared generous New Year's money for the three of them. Gu Xiaoran took the money and handed it to Qiu Yan.
"Mother will keep it for me."
Qiu Ling'er and Qiu Xu, without prior agreement, both let their older sister manage the money.
Qiu Yan felt like a housekeeper at that moment.
After dawn, Qiu Yan took her three children on a round of New Year's greetings. After leaving the children in the village, she took Qin Feng and headed straight to Baiyang.
