Alcohol is prohibited in the army. Although Fu Yueli and his friends went to the banquet, they did not drink any alcohol, so they returned soon.
Shi Mingyue was waiting for him in the room and had already made the bed. When she saw him come back, she asked someone to prepare hot water for washing.
In the stillness of the night, Shi Mingyue worriedly said, "Originally, the Third Prince was sent in for this battle, but he didn't win. Then the Second Prince was sent in, and he quickly won. So I suspect there might be some kind of deal between Fu Baiheng and Helian Yizhuo." But what she didn't understand was that if this battle in her previous life was a deal between Fu Baiheng and Helian Yizhuo, to establish Fu Baiheng as an undefeated general and help him win the battle for the crown prince position, then in this life, Fu Yueli had already been made crown prince. Was there still a need for Fu Baiheng to play out this drama with Helian Yizhuo?
Could it be that Helian Yizhuo is serious in this life?
Fu Yueli listened to her words, put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Let's take it one step at a time. You don't have to worry too much. Go to bed early."
Shi Mingyue listened to him and closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Unexpectedly, an emergency military bugle suddenly blew outside in the middle of the night, startling both Fu Yueli and Shi Mingyue awake. Fu Yueli immediately got up and dressed, saying to Shi Mingyue, "Stay well and don't go anywhere."
Shi Mingyue nodded, sensing the urgency of the situation. Had there been a midnight raid like this in her previous life? She didn't recall it. In her previous life, Wu Tan's attitude towards the battle had been very relaxed, seemingly slowly wearing down the New State border troops. How could there be a midnight raid in this life? It seemed the circumstances in the two lives were vastly different. She had to be extremely cautious.
Thinking of this, she got up and walked to Fu Yueli, holding his hand and said, "Be careful!"
Fu Yueli nodded to her and promised, "I will, don't worry."
He left quickly, and Shi Mingyue was no longer sleepy and waited for their news.
From evening to day, and then to night, Fu Yueli still hadn't returned. Shi Mingyue couldn't help but ask a guard, who replied, "I heard the battle ahead is intense, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hasn't returned yet, right?"
Another night passed, and Shi Mingyue couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep on the table.
She seemed to smell a scent of blood, and someone seemed to be gently caressing her face. Shi Mingyue woke up with a start, raised her head and met Fu Yueli's white eyes that contained endless tenderness and love.
"You're back!" she said in surprise.
Fu Yueli nodded slightly: "I'm back."
There was blood on his face and armor. Shi Mingyue asked in shock, "Are you injured?!"
"No, it's all the enemy's blood." Fu Yueli explained.
Shi Mingyue had many questions about this battle, and her first question was, "What was the outcome?"
"Lost." Fu Yueli's expression instantly turned cold.
"Fu Baiheng also went there, how could that be?" Shi Mingyue was even more shocked.
Fu Yueli said: "Perhaps the situation in the two lives has changed. This time Fu Baiheng was injured."
"What on earth is going on?" This was completely beyond Shi Mingyue's understanding.
Fu Yueli sighed, "Even I don't know what's going on." Then he told the incredible situation on the battlefield.
Although most Wutan people were taller and stronger than Zhao people, there were many two-meter-tall giants on the battlefield, like iron towers, with immense strength. They were also wearing sturdy armor, making it difficult for Zhao soldiers to hurt them, resulting in heavy losses.
In the end, Zhao State was indeed defeated and retreated back to the city. The Wutan army did not pursue them relentlessly, but returned to the camp leisurely to rest.
After listening to Fu Yueli's story, Shi Mingyue couldn't help but think of the giants she'd encountered in her dream teahouse, and how they were related to Xu Ziling. As if struck by a slap in the face, she suddenly remembered that the meteorite in the Ulan Bu Desert should have landed in the center of the desert months ago. She hadn't heard any news about it this time, so she assumed it hadn't fallen yet.
"Have you thought of anything?" Fu Yueli couldn't help but ask when he saw her like this.
Shi Mingyue replied: "I thought of it. Xu Ziling and He Jun might be in Wutan."
Fu Yueli frowned. At the bottom of the canyon in the Yunzhou Misty Forest, He Jun and Xu Ziling took away a meteorite. Could this be related to Wu Tan’s giant army?
Shi Mingyue told Fu Yueli about the Ulan Buk Desert in general, but she did not say that it was what she saw and felt in her dream.
"According to what you said, the core in the center of the desert is extremely powerful." Fu Yueli couldn't help but worry.
"He Jun and the others want to study immortality. The meteorite at the bottom of the canyon has the effect of making people sleep, and the core in the center of the desert can not only harm people, but also make people stronger." Shi Mingyue still doesn't know much about the details.
Seeing the blueness under her eyes, Fu Yueli guessed that she must not have had a good rest since he left, so he said, "Okay, I'll follow up on this matter, you can rest."
He asked her to go and rest, and Shi Mingyue asked, "What about you?" He came back from the battlefield and the first thing he did was to find her because he was worried about her and told her to rest. But since he had been defeated, how could he rest?
Fu Yueli naturally couldn't rest. He couldn't stay here any longer, so he touched Shi Mingyue's hair and said, "You should rest."
Shi Mingyue didn't ask any more questions. She listened to him obediently, lay down on the bed and closed her eyes.
After Fu Yueli left, she opened her eyes again.
How could she sleep? He Jun and Xu Ziling might be in Xinzhou. Had they colluded with Wu Tan? Could it be that He Jun's true purpose was to change the dynasty, destroy the Fu family, and allow the He family to rise again?
She couldn't say she agreed with his actions, but she understood them. If she were a member of the He clan, she would have felt the same way. However, since ancient times, when a country prospers, the people suffer; when it perishes, the people suffer. Now, the Fu clan enjoys peace and prosperity. She couldn't bear to see wars and chaos ignited for her own selfish interests.
She kept her eyes open until dawn, only to find herself completely helpless and feeling frustrated. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Shi Mingyue was surprised. Was the servant here so early?
She stood up to open the door, and at that moment she was completely stunned.
The person who came was actually He Jun! In the heavily guarded post station, He Jun actually appeared at her door!
"Come with me." He Jun smiled at her.
Before Shi Mingyue could shout for help, He Jun had already covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and she quickly lost consciousness.
When she woke up again, Shi Mingyue found herself in a tent. She could still smell the faint scent of sandalwood, which was the common scent of He Jun.
Turning around, I found that He Jun was indeed sitting at the table, writing something seriously with a pen in hand.
"You're awake." He Jun noticed her movement, raised his head, and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face.
