Before I could respond, she pushed me, and Duan Xiao had already taken a few steps forward and walked in front of me.
He looked at Duan Sheng who had slipped away and smiled at me: "I had originally decided that last night would be the last time we saw each other, but then I suddenly remembered that I hadn't said goodbye to Mu Boya formally. After all, I also have to lead the army to the battlefield."
Since he had already come up to me and said this, I also said frankly, "Then I wish General Duan a successful start and immediate success."
"Hiss—" He seemed a little disgusted: "Mu Boya's farewell to Duan Ziqi was so official and ordinary, it's really boring."
I was about to retort when he suddenly stepped back, opened his arms, and smiled at me, "Actually, I came here for another reason today."
"They all say that we are most unforgettable when we are in military armor," he said, his eyes twinkling, the scarlet tassels blowing in the wind, leaving a few red threads. "That's why I wanted you to see it."

I was stunned for a moment and didn't answer. He lowered his head slightly and looked at me, the corner of his mouth still curved into a smile: "Then I wish you all the best."
I met his burning gaze: "You too."
He turned away without replying, stepping step by step on the narrow, grey floor tiles. I said loudly, "Duan Ziqi, when you return victorious, Mu Boya will treat you to some Begonia Pastry!"
He didn't stop walking, but just bent his right arm and waved at me with his back to me: "Okay, if you can't come back - I'll treat you to candied haws. It's a deal!"
How can I invite him if he can't come back? Before I could find any fault with him, I saw him about to leave the palace, so I had to quickly reply, "Okay! It's a deal!"
Red walls and gray bricks, bright sunlight, the shining silver armor and the freely fluttering red tassels finally disappeared on the side of the high arched palace gate.
