Chapter 285 I hope you can be the same as before when you return home
After he memorized the entire set of sword techniques, it was almost dark the next day. Chu Yian put away the sword and returned it to Qin Huaishu.
Qin Huaishu turned back to the study and hung the sword back on the wall: "If you want to practice sword, just come and get it yourself."
Although she would take it whether she wanted to or not, she still had to have the attitude.
Chu Yian nodded. He had just beaten Sheng Lingchuan and practiced sword with Qin Huaishu. Now he didn't want to move at all and lay lazily on the table.
"Huaishu, pour me a cup of tea."
Qin Huaishu: ...
Qin Huaishu looked at her helplessly and took the teapot in front of her. The tea was already cold. He left the study and asked the servant to bring him another pot.
He poured it for Chu Yian and placed it in front of her: "It's hot, wait until it cools down a little before drinking it."
Chu Yian hummed and raised his head weakly.
Just as she was thinking about whether to write a book tonight, a voice came into her ears.
"Master, there's a letter from the Third Young Master."
Qin Huaishu looked at Chu Yian. This sentence seemed to have turned on a switch in her. The person who was originally lifeless and listless suddenly sat up straight.
My legs are no longer sore, my back no longer hurts, and I feel like I have endless energy.
A strong light burst out from those tired eyes, which was even more dazzling than the candlelight.
She stood up, her big eyes darting around, trying to find the hidden guard who had said this, while at the same time urging, "Where, where? Is there anything for me? Of course there is! Quick, give it to me!"
A smile appeared on Qin Huaishu's lips, and his eyes looked particularly gentle under the candlelight.
The secret guard came out from the dark and respectfully handed a stack of letters to Qin Huaishu.
Chu Yian came over eagerly, his eyes almost glued to the letters: "Quick, big brother, check to see if there is any letter for me. Xiao Shengzi must have written to me."
The secret guard retreated, and Qin Huaishu took away the thin envelope addressed to him. Below it, he saw a few large characters written on it: From my wife Yi An.
Compared to the letter to him, the one to Chu Yian was obviously much thicker.
He handed the letter to Chu Yian, who jumped for joy without even looking at it.
"Oh, Xiao Shengzi has been gone for a long time, and now you remember to write to me. That's too much, too much."
"I'm going to scold him when he comes back!!"
Qin Huaishu curved his eyes, nodded, and didn't say a word to his brother.
After being happy for a while, Chu Yian sat down and couldn't wait to open the letter. When he saw the words on the envelope, he was stunned, skipped over them, and tore open the seal.
There were several pages of letter paper, and she read it all at a glance.
Qin Sheng wrote in the letter what happened during this period, but he was on the march most of the time, so how could so many things happen? Chu Yian suspected that he was bluffing her.
The army had arrived at the border. Perhaps because the army was too large in number, the Xiongnu Khan realized that Dashun was determined to teach them a lesson this time, so he became cowardly and wanted to ask for peace at this time.
And an envoy has been sent and is on the way to Shengjing.
At the same time, a Xiongnu princess was sent, intending to marry into the Dashun clan, hoping that Dashun and the Xiongnu could sign a fifty-year peace treaty.
Chu Yian stared at the paper angrily, almost staring holes in his eyes.
Damn it, you're asking for peace only after the army has arrived. Isn't it a bit late?
They harass me if they want to, but when I want to hit him I start asking for peace?
Is this how the game is played? Haha.
This news has reached the emperor. Fortunately, the emperor has made up his mind to teach them a lesson this time and directly suppressed the matter.
The Xiongnu envoys were still on the way, but the army was about to attack the Xiongnu border town.
She must have started fighting when she received the letter. Chu Yian couldn't help but feel a little worried. After reading the letter written by Qin Sheng, her excited mood was somewhat suppressed.
After hesitating for a moment, she asked Qin Huaishu: "Brother, how much news have you received from the border?"
Qin Huaishu placed the letter in his hand on the candle flame and burned it: "Are you worried about Xiaosheng? He's fine, don't worry."
Chu Yian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.
That’s right, how could Qin Sheng be in trouble? He was carrying the life-saving pills she gave him.
Skipping the topic, she brought up another matter mentioned in the letter: "Qin Sheng said the Xiongnu wanted to send their princess over for marriage. Brother, do you think this will work?"
Qin Huaishu thought about it and said seriously: "It should be possible, but one princess is not enough."
So many people of Dashun were killed or injured, and an unknown amount of property was lost. How could a princess alone calm the situation?
Chu Yian was stunned. Does this mean that they still want to cease fire?
She was a little angry: "No, can't he just be tough to the end?"
Qin Huaishu choked. He didn't want to tell her more about what happened outside, but seeing how indignant she was, he hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not that simple."
"Ningguo has been increasingly active recently, stockpiling large quantities of food and fodder and 100,000 soldiers in the border towns. They appear to be preparing for war with Dashun."
"Xingguo is also ready to make a move. If Dashun gets entangled with Ningguo and the Xiongnu, they will definitely want to get a piece of the action."
When the three sides attack, no one knows how many people will die in Dashun.
It is even very likely that it will be defeated by the coalition forces of the three parties. Once defeated, the direct and indirect losses combined will make Dashun the weakest among the five countries.
Chu Yian was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed, his heart hanging high, a little worried: "Can we win?"
No, she didn't feel anything at all. Was the situation outside so serious?
Although Qin Huaishu said that Ningguo was ready to make a move, and Dong Jingwen had other purposes in coming to Dashun before, there has been no movement so far, and she really didn't feel anything.
How did the situation become like this?
Qin Huaishu smiled and soothed him, "Don't worry, it's okay. Just do what you want to do. Even if the sky falls, the men of Dashun will hold it up."
"Even if something does happen, I will have to step over the corpses of my Qin family first."
Chu Yian:!!!
Chu Yian's heart trembled, and he really wanted to slap Qin Huaishu to death.
She glared at him, then quickly spat three times and clasped her hands together: "Children's words are incorruptible. God, just pretend you didn't hear me. I will beat this immature brother of mine later. Don't bother with him."
Qin Huaishu: ...
Qin Huaishu lowered his eyelashes and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
The next second, he was slapped hard on the head.
Qin Huaishu covered his head and raised his head, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Chu Yian withdrew his hand, feeling relieved, but still glared at Qin Huaishu: "Don't say such things again in the future."
Qin Huaishu opened his mouth and hummed timidly under her fiery gaze: "I understand."
She then changed the subject: "By the way, since Ningguo has already taken action, are you leaving too?"
Speaking of this, Chu Yian felt sad again.
She originally only had Qin Sheng as a friend, and now she also had Qin Huaishu, and now both of them were gone.
When Qin lets that annoying bastard come back, life will probably be in chaos every day.
How could being with him be as comfortable and relaxed as being with Qin Huaishu?
Qin Huaishu was silent for a moment, then nodded gently under her reluctant gaze: "The Emperor has already mobilized troops and General Fu has also left the capital."
It wasn’t long before he left Beijing.
Chu Yian slumped in the chair, unable to muster any energy.
Suddenly, another question came to mind, and he immediately sat up straight again: "Brother, Dad already has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands. If you take the military token again, will the Qin family..."
She frowned tightly, she was really worried about this matter.
The Qin family had finally gotten rid of the emperor's suspicion, and their lives were gradually getting back on track. If the Qin family was imprisoned again because of this, she would be really upset.
They say it’s better to do it once, twice, but not three times, but how many times has the Royal Family repeated this?
What he said before going to the battle was more beautiful than singing, but after returning triumphantly, he changed his face and who dared to say anything?
Instead of this, she really felt that the Qin family would be better off resigning from office and living in seclusion, allowing the royal family to guard the territory on their own.
Qin Huaishu gave her a reassuring look: "I don't hold the military order, I'm just accompanying you as a military advisor."
Chu Yian fell silent after hearing this.
He was worried when he went there, but now he is not worried anymore, but he went there in this way.
My nose feels a little sour.
The Qin family is a family of military generals. In fact, whether it is Qin Sheng or Qin Huaishu, they were born to fight on the battlefield.
Giving up military service to pursue literature was not Qin Huaishu's original intention, but a choice he made after careful consideration.
If possible, he probably also hopes to be the same as Qin Sheng.
Now I can go, but I can only be a military advisor who hands away the credit...
He is called a military advisor. Doesn’t that mean that the emperor knows his talents but doesn’t dare to give him more military power and asks him to change his status?
Qin Sheng was free, but Qin Huaishu was still on a high platform, ready to be tried at any time.
Maybe Chu Yian had been silent for too long, Qin Huaishu keenly noticed her loss and powerlessness, but didn't know what to say.
Pursing his lips, he gave Chu Yian a gentle smile: "Come to think of it, I haven't left Shengjing for many years. I can take this opportunity to go out and have a look."
"It's a pity that things are not peaceful outside, otherwise I might be able to take you out for some fun."
Chu Yian's voice was a little hoarse: "Forget it, I have been to many places before. I have seen the sea, the desert, the grassland, and the spring in the south of the Yangtze River."
"Who knows, I might be able to go back to the world I live in someday. I can just pack my bag and go wherever I want. Why would I need to follow you?"
Qin Huaishu lowered his eyelashes and clenched his hands little by little.
Chu Yian came to this world because he was dead. Even if he could really go back, his body would probably have been buried long ago.
If it was any later, I might even become a pile of bones. What would be the point of going back?
Could it be that he is wandering in the world as a soul? Wouldn't that be even more tragic?
After hesitating for a moment, he asked softly, "Do you...really want to go back?"
Chu Yian raised his head and met Qin Huaishu's eyes. As if he had suddenly come back to his senses, he blinked and laughed: "Ha, actually I don't really want to go back. I'm quite happy to be with you guys."
"I like you, Qin Sheng, my second brother, and my parents."
"There are so many ladies in Shengjing City, and I like every one of them."
Does liking them conflict with her wanting to go home?
Qin Huaishu just looked at her like that, the smile on his lips faded. He lowered his eyelashes and spoke softly, "It's human nature to want to go home. You don't have to say these things deliberately because you're afraid that I'll take it personally."
After he finished speaking, he raised his head again, his beautiful eyes curved, reflecting a light a hundred times gentler than usual under the candlelight: "Since you won't say it, then I will say it."
"I hope you can always be happy in this world, and when you return home, nothing will have changed, and you can live the same life as before."
Chu Yian couldn't laugh anymore, she stared at Qin Huaishu in a daze.
Maybe it was because Qin Huaishu's eyes were too soft and his tone was too gentle, which made her eyes red.
Do you want to go home?
I think about it, even in my dreams.
But what can I do if I can't go back? Why make everyone unhappy?
And to be honest, she has been very happy since she married Qin Sheng. The Qin family treats her well and tolerates her.
She should be content to find such a home in another world, meet a confidant like Qin Sheng, and have a good friend like Qin Huaishu.
But she misses her parents...
I dream of seeing them.
The tip of his nose felt more and more sore. Before tears fell, Chu Yian turned his head and forced an ugly smile: "Thank you, thank you."
Qin Huaishu handed over a handkerchief, and his tone seemed softer: "You're welcome."
Chu Yian took the handkerchief, wiped his eyes, and was stunned for a moment. Then he began to blow his nose vigorously. His nose was unblocked and he felt better all over.
Qin Huaishu's gentle expression froze on his face.
She leaned over and patted Qin Huaishu's shoulder vigorously, feeling extremely moved: "Huaishu, woo, you are such a good child. You are the most gentle person I have ever met."
"Ah, a guy like you would be very popular with girls no matter where you are."
Qin Huaishu: ...
Chu Yian: "Really? I'm not lying to you. My parents always say I'm a naughty kid. They want me to be quiet and well-behaved. Now that they see you, hey, aren't you the kind of good kid they like?"
"If my parents saw you and Qin Sheng, they would definitely like you very much."
"Oh, if I could go home, I would kidnap both of you. One of you would play with me, and the other would make money to support me."
Qin Huaishu: ...
"You're so smart, you're sure to make a lot of money. I can't even go a day in that class. Woohoo, I'm just suited to being supported by you, eating well, drinking well, and having no worries."
Qin Huaishu: ...
All the gentleness and smiles were gone. He looked at Chu Yian expressionlessly. It was really in vain that he felt sorry for her.
This person was so sad one second, but so eccentric the next.
Qin Huaishu sighed. What else could he do?
All I can say is: "Your parents don't like what kind of child you are. No matter what you become, they will love you unconditionally."
"As for going to your world, if fate allows... I'd actually like to go and see it."
"I want to see what kind of world can produce a... monkey like you."
He laughed again when he said those three words.
Chu Yian also smiled: "I hope so."
It’s a pity that she couldn’t even go back herself, and she wanted to take two people back with her. Isn’t that a nuisance?
But this doesn't affect her good mood at all.
After laughing for a while, he looked down at the letter in his hand and slapped his forehead: "Look at me, I almost forgot to reply to Qin Sheng. Wait for me to reply."
"Alas, I also want to tell him that I can take him to that world, but even if I tell him, I can't do it. It's a waste of his hope."
