"explain!"
Gu Qian's weathered words carried outside the tent.
"Reporting to the general, the enemy has left."
They've evacuated?
Gu Qian slowly got out of bed, and with Ling Qi's help, he stepped out of the tent.
He asked the sentry in front of him, "Where did they withdraw to?"
"Their objectives were scattered, and the main force headed south."
Gu Qian: "Scout again!" They've already spent so much time on this; based on his past military experience, he absolutely did not believe that the enemy would have quietly left.
"Yes!" The sentry stepped back and rode away.
“General,” Ling Qi said, beginning to persuade them to leave, “Ling Yun, Ling Zhi, Captain Qin, and Captain Yuan are here. Let’s go back.”
This wasn't the first time Ling Qi had said these words.
Although the enemy suffered significant losses due to their general's actions...
Although the general is here, the soldiers have a pillar of support.
However, the general is blind and his old wounds have not yet healed, so he really needs care.
Ling Qi couldn't bear to watch the general's body gradually fade away.
The harsh environment of the battlefield is not suitable for recuperating from injuries.
"No, the enemy is watching us closely, how can I leave!" This wasn't the first time Gu Qian had refused.
He looked up; the sky was a deep red, but it was just a vast expanse of red.
"Didn't the enemy troops withdraw?" Ling Qi continued to persuade.
"Ling Qi, this isn't the first day you've been following me. Don't you think you can see through this little trick of luring the snake out of its hole?" Gu Qian said calmly, waving his hand at Ling Qi to signal him not to follow.
He lifted the curtain again and entered the tent.
The general forbade Ling Qi to follow, so Ling Qi could only guard outside the tent.
Gu Qian walked slowly to the bedside, groped his way to sit down, and leaned against the headboard.
He slowly reached out and took out a white jade pendant from his pocket.
Stroking the jade pendant in his hand, a slight smile played on his lips as he murmured her name.
"Yan Yan, are you home yet?"
Gu Qian slowly closed his eyes, thinking about her every smile and frown, and unconsciously held the jade pendant to his chest.
"Yan Yan, you shouldn't be home yet."
I'm sorry, I can't spend Chinese New Year with you again this year.
If his Yan Yan saw him like this...
Unfortunately, he couldn't see it.
Given his current state, it's best not to disturb Yan Yan's peaceful life.
Let all this endless longing reside hidden within this jade pendant.
With the jade pendant by his side, his dark life was not so lonely.
As he was thinking, he unconsciously covered his chest.
The thought that she might marry someone else made his heart ache terribly, a pain so intense it felt like he could suffocate.
Yan Yan, I really want to see you again, even just for a moment.
Before he knew it, Gu Qian lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
In his sleep, he dreamed again of the stream in Lingnan Village, and of every little detail from when he first met her...
Baiyang County,
With her nine-month pregnant belly bulging, Jiang Liu strolled leisurely through the market, supported by Cui Zhu.
Cuizhu looked helplessly at the large and small bags in her hands.
They were too heavy to carry anymore.
"My dear lady, could we please stop buying these?"
Turning her head, she suddenly saw Qiu Dazhi driving his carriage slowly towards her, and a smile immediately spread across her face.
"Miss, help has arrived."
Jiang Liu turned her gaze toward the carriage and saw that Qiu Dazhi had already driven closer.
As soon as Qiu Dazhi arrived, he said, "Second sister-in-law, didn't the doctor say that you should rest in bed and wait for delivery? You shouldn't go out now."
If something were to happen to his second sister-in-law, he wouldn't be able to explain it to his second brother.
With his second brother gone and his fifth brother gone, he was the backbone of the Qiu family.
Qiu Dazhi thought to himself,
Although, Ah Xu doesn't think so.
