That winter, a small Turkic contingent was sent out to rob the people on the border of their food and finances. Most of them were intercepted and killed by a group of unknown masked men.

The six people confronted the small force head-on.

When they encountered a large number of Turkic soldiers, they would use some strategies and tactics to kill and disrupt them, and ultimately achieve their own goals.

What the six men did gradually spread among the people in the northern border area, and later became a legend because no one had ever seen their true faces.

Before the heavy snow closed the mountain, the six people who were rumored to be the nemesis of the Turks rode on their horses and brought more than a dozen carriages with special products from the northern frontier, such as furs and precious local medicinal materials...

They fought off several waves of bandits who wanted to rob them and returned to the capital safely.

When everyone was about to separate the items they had brought back in two carts for their families, suddenly a tall and handsome young man appeared.

He turned to look at the smiling woman and snorted, "Am I the only one who thinks that the teacher is so happy that we are parting ways?"

This sentence made the other people glare at the woman.

"Is what Yuchi said true? Are you so happy to be separated from us?"

Facing Jiang Chenxi, Gao Tai and Chen Qibao, he questioned with grievance in his eyes.

An Xin tilted his head and glared at Yuchi Yi, who was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.

"How could it be," An Xin said with a look of reluctance, "We have been together for the past few years, and now we have to separate, I am so sad."

Kong Xun: "..." Mr. Shan, if you could restrain the excitement and joy in your eyes, maybe people would believe what you said.

No matter whether they truly believed it or not, they were successfully comforted by An Xin and went home happily to see their families.

The person in the palace learned that An Xin and the other six had returned to the capital. After a brief contemplation, he began to make arrangements for what was to happen next.

When An Xin happily returned to her home in Liuxiang, Beijing, the result was very different from what she had imagined.

An Xin looked aggrievedly at the two maids who had thrown themselves into her arms in tears with joy when they first saw her come back, and who had still served her attentively after the excitement, but they just did their work silently and ignored her.

There were also several students who had returned from their shifts, Li Ziyu, Leng Xiangbai, Zhu Shijing, Jiang Zhou, and his only cousin in the An family.

Seeing her was like seeing air. He didn't even look at her for more than a second. He did what he was supposed to do except look at her.

An Xin felt guilty and whispered, "I just didn't tell you that I was going out for fun. Why are you so stingy and ignoring me?"

"Anyway, you had just entered the Imperial Academy at that time, and you were all so busy. Even if I told you, you wouldn't have the time to go out with me."

Jiang Zhou was furious when he heard what she said, "Oh, so you are right. You ran away from home without saying goodbye and have been gone for nearly three years. Why don't you just die..."

"Jiang Zhou!" The other people shouted in unison, his words were without thinking.

Jiang Zhou, with red eyes, realized that what he said unintentionally seemed to be cursing his own headmaster, so he slapped himself hard with his backhand.

An Xin hurriedly grabbed his hand, "What are you doing? What are you doing? I didn't die outside. I'm back safely."

"Little Hill Chief!"

“…Cousin!”

An Rui: "If you keep saying this word so bluntly, I will write a letter back to tell my father and mother and see if they will come to the capital to check on you.

How can you leave us and go out to play with those brats in the future?"

An Xin looked at several people staring at her. Not wanting to hear her say the word death, she had to shut her mouth.

Kong Xun, who was homeless and followed him back, saw that Li Ziyu and the others cared so much about An Xin, and a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

It seemed that after returning to Beijing, there were so many more people competing with him for the attention of Chief An Xiaoshan.

"Why is he here? Could it be that he has been following you around all these years?" Jiang Zhou looked at Kong Xun with an unfriendly look. Kong Xun looked better and had a better temperament than he did a few years ago, and he got angry again.

An Xin saw Li Ziyu, Leng Xiangbai and Zhu Shijing looking at her with ambiguous eyes, and she felt a little guilty.

“……”Do we still want to have fun?

No matter what, regarding An Xin's return, although everyone pretended to be indifferent, their true thoughts were still revealed in their eyes which were clearer than usual.

When Liu Boxing heard from the servant sent by An Zhai that An Xin had returned, he was so excited that he ran all the way over without even having time to get on the carriage.

"Woo, woo, woo," his little headmaster finally came back. If those old guys in the Ministry of War kept bullying him, he would go find the little headmaster to beat them up.

General Liu and Doctor Su were also invited over by An Xin. Everyone sat together happily to celebrate the return of An Xin and others.

This welcoming banquet held for An Xin might be a revenge for her leaving without saying goodbye. Zhu Shijing and Jiang Zhou vowed to get An Xin drunk and embarrass her.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Anyway, there are no outsiders here, and if their little headmaster gets drunk and makes a fool of himself, only they will know about it.

Zhu Shijing had a wicked smile on his face, "Come on, Xiaoshanchang, I toast to you."

"Yes, yes, yes, welcome back our little hill chief, I respect you too." At this moment, Liu Boxing forgot that he was happy that his little hill chief was back and could stand up for him.

Under the instigation of several fellow disciples, they began to toast An Xin in order to avenge themselves for the harm she had done to them over the years.

An Xin's eyes flickered, he lowered his head and curled the corners of his lips, allowing these wicked guys to toast him frequently without any scruples.

She seemed to be accepting everyone who came to her, but gradually she became a little confused and her tongue became thicker.

"Come...come...drink...drink..."

Seeing An Xin like this, Li Ziyu and Leng Xiangbai glanced at Zhu Shijing and the others who were making a fuss, "That's enough."

The brothers who were suppressed by the two in all aspects could only rub their noses and stop fighting.

The two old men watched the young people playing with a smile, and occasionally asked An Xin what he saw and heard during this trip.

An Xin, with a thick tongue, stammered as he told everyone about the magnificent sea where the sky and water merged into one.

The vast desert with few people and lonely smoke.

The vast and boundless green grassland; the waist-deep white snow in the northern part of the Great Wall.

The only thing they didn't tell them was that the Turks who invaded the people in the northern border town were happy to kill them.

As the two old people listened to her talk about the beautiful scenery of various places, a look of longing appeared on their wrinkled faces.

But what no one expected at that time was that after the beginning of the next spring, these two worry-inducing old people would also follow An Xin's example and run away from home to see the scenery in various places.

Only then did An Xin realize how worried everyone was when she left home without saying goodbye.
