When Qiao Yu was fourteen years old, he secretly prepared to join the army without telling his grandparents.
This was probably the first time Qiao Yu hid the truth from her family, and she was not shy about covering it up.
When the Marquis of Wanning heard about it, he was supportive. A true man should have ambitions to conquer the world, and if his grandson wanted to join the army and serve his country, he would support him.
What's more, Yu'er has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and is born with supernatural powers. There is no room for him to display his strength in this capital.
But we still have to take care of what needs to be done. We can't really let our grandson start as a general like those commoners.
But Princess Fu'an was unwilling and shed many tears for this matter.
She had been a princess of great wealth and status since she was young, and became even more noble after her brother ascended the throne. After marrying the Marquis of Wanning, the couple was very loving.
Apart from her regret about having only one child, Princess Fu'an had a smooth life and never suffered any hardship.
She really couldn't understand why her grandson, who grew up in Beijing, was unwilling to go to the battlefield.
He had been eating, drinking and using only top-quality food since he was a child. Why should he endure the hardships of the march?
Marquis Wanning repeatedly persuaded her several times, which made her stop crying.
Qiao Xuanwen had also tried to persuade him. In his opinion, his son could do whatever he wanted. It was just a military career, and who knows, he might actually make a name for himself!
Gu Li, who was far away at the border, got the news early on that the young man from the noble family who came from the capital was actually a deputy general as soon as he entered the battlefield.
This news made him frown. The situation on the battlefield was unpredictable. Even if he wanted the troops, he wouldn't be so anxious.

When Qiao Yu first entered the battlefield, he met a very strange general.
When Qiao Yu was preparing to join the army, he had heard of the ever-victorious general of Yan State: Gu Li, who had been guarding the border for more than a decade.
Speaking of which, Qiao Yu still has some admiration for him. Not everyone can persist in these ten years.
When Qiao Yu first learned that his grandfather had assigned him the position of deputy general, he had some suspicions that he might offend some people when he first entered the general's camp.
Qiao Yu also thought that Gu Li, the famous general, would not have a good face when facing him.
But Gu Li didn't.
His expression suddenly became strange, and he asked in a trembling voice, "What's your name?"
"I'm Qiao Yu." Qiao Yu looked at the man in front of him with a puzzled look.
Gu Li, a veteran of the battlefield for many years, indeed has the demeanor of a famous general. Even though he is nearly forty years old, he still looks majestic in his silver-white armor.
But his expression was a little strange.
Regret, emotion, or even a hint of it? Qiao Yu suddenly felt unsure.
"The last name is Qiao." Gu Li muttered, and then asked again, "Is your father the prince of Wanning Marquis Mansion?"
"Yes." Qiao Li nodded. "General, do you know my father?"
Gu Li gave a bitter smile and replied in a hoarse voice, "I know him."
How can I not recognize him?
The young man in front of him looked very familiar, especially his eyes, which looked like the one in his dreams.
It turned out that it was really her child.
Yes, more than ten years have passed. If she had a child, he would be this old now.
In the military camp, Gu Li took good care of Qiao Yu, which attracted a lot of attention.
Qiao Yu actually had some guesses in his mind, maybe it was because he had a good relationship with his father?
But it didn't seem like it. The general never asked about his father, but sometimes he would ask whether his father was doing well.
That is, both my parents and General Gu know him?

Gu Li later died on the battlefield.
However, after spending so long at the border, he could already guess his own ending. However, there was now an additional variable.
The moment the man fell to the ground, a cloud of dust rose up.
Qiao Yu looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, tears streaming down his face unconsciously.
He rushed forward and picked up the man who had fallen to the ground, asking repeatedly, "Why, why did you help me block the arrow?"
That arrow hit Gu Li's heart. If it was him who was injured, maybe it wouldn't be so serious.
He has been thick-skinned and tough since he was a child, so this kind of injury only needs some time to heal.
In fact, Gu Li could already feel that his life was coming to an end, so he stopped the young man who wanted to take him to see a military doctor.
"I can't live anymore." Gu Li looked at the young man in front of him with tears in his eyes. Suddenly he wanted to laugh, and he really laughed.
He was laughing and spitting blood.
"If you meet your dear, please tell her for me." Gu Li's voice was a little choked up, "I'm sorry."
He should have died a long time ago.
Not long after he left the capital, Zu Li died of a sudden illness, leaving him alone in the entire general's mansion.
During the more than ten years he has been here, he has been fighting non-stop, but he is becoming increasingly confused about what he really wants.
He sometimes wondered if everything would have been different if he had persisted a little longer.
If he and Liuyin had a child, the child would be as old as Qiao Yu.
Realizing that Gu Liyi had stopped breathing, Qiao Yu's heart suddenly felt a pang of pain, making him feel as if his whole body was numb and he couldn't move.
He is dead.
This was the first person to die for him.
"good."
After experiencing this life-and-death separation, Qiao Yu suddenly grew up.
After Gu Li, he became the new general.
*
Later, Qiao Yu also asked his relatives if they knew Gu Li.
My mother's expression was also a bit strange at that time, but more of it was disgust.
The disgust in Liuyin's eyes only flashed for a brief moment, but was still caught by Qiao Yu. Qiao Yu, a grown-up, saw it clearly this time.
"Why, did you meet him on the battlefield?"
In front of her own children, Liu Yin always plays the role of a kind mother, so her tone at this moment couldn't be gentler.
Looking at the people in front of him, Qiao Yu always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think much about it.
"He died on the battlefield to save me." Even when he mentioned this matter again, Qiao Yu still felt a little sad.
"He asked me to bring a message to you, my dear. I'm sorry."
Died? Or was it to save the child in front of him? Liu Yin was a little surprised.
"Okay." Looking at Qiao Yu who was about to cry, Liu Yin comforted her, "It was his duty to save you. You don't need to blame yourself so much."
What should he do? Qiao Yu raised his head suddenly, only to meet his father's caring eyes.
There was no trace of sadness inside.
