Chapter 134: The Extinct God of War General x The Delicate Little Doctor 34
As time went by, when the three children were half a year old, the border situation between Xiyan and Nanliu became more serious.
After the Nanliu soldiers excessively massacred a small village in Xiyan, Xu Hanye took action. Although he intended to withdraw from the court, he was still a general of Xiyan after all, and could not ignore the people of Xiyan.
Aunt Qiao frowned slightly and pursed her lips as she packed Xu Hanye's luggage herself. Although she didn't have to do these things herself, she still wanted to do it herself.
"Madam, when I return from the battlefield, we will take the children to Beishang to see our father and mother."
Xu Hanye was extremely reluctant to leave, as the three little ones were just clinging to him, their chubby little looks were very lovable. He was afraid that when he came back again, the children wouldn't recognize him.
Xu Hanye felt even more reluctant to leave Jinjin Qiao, and he would be affectionate with her every night a few days before his departure.
This was the first time that Qiao Jinjin had left Xu Hanye since they met. She didn't know how long Xu Hanye would be away, maybe half a year, maybe a year, maybe two years...
During the period when Xu Hanye had just left, Jinjin Qiao often couldn't sleep at night. She was really not used to the absence of that strong arm.
Later, when Xu Hanye arrived at the border, he would send messages back from time to time.
Aunt Qiao, who was used to it, often took her children to the Duke's Mansion to accompany the Duke's wife and the old Duke. Even Aunt Ma and Old Man Li would often come to the General's Mansion to play with the little ones.
Half a year after Xu Hanye left, the empress became pregnant, and the emperor suspended court for three days.
"Madam, there is a letter from the border"
The butler hurried to Xinheyuan with the letter. If it was a normal letter, the butler would definitely be smiling, but this time the butler's face was solemn.
Aunt Qiao had a bad feeling in her heart. "Butler, has something happened?"
The housekeeper handed the letter to Aunt Qiao and said, "I heard that the general was injured. The young general who delivered the letter said that this letter was written by General Xiao. Madam, please take a look and see how the general is doing."
Jinjin Qiao took a deep breath. The last time she received a message from Xu Hanye was a month ago. He told her that the war would be over soon, so how could he suddenly get injured?
Aunt Qiao opened the letter and read it quickly. It was indeed not Xu Hanye's handwriting.
After a moment, Aunt Qiao closed her eyes and pursed her lips and said, "Pack your things for me and go to the border."
After saying this, Aunt Qiao took the Yeyue Sword hanging on the wall and held it tightly in her hand.
When the Duke's wife heard the news that Xu Hanye was injured, she hurried over and saw Aunt Qiao as if she saw a savior. "My dear Aunt Qiao, Hanye is injured. Are you going too? It's too dangerous."
Aunt Qiao turned her head and nodded solemnly, "Mother, Han Ye was injured and unconscious, and your daughter-in-law is worried, so I'm entrusting the child to you to take care of."
The Duke's wife sighed, walked up to Qiao Jinjin, took her hand and said, "Mother is happy to take care of the children, but on the battlefield, swords have no eyes. What if something happens to you again?"
Aunt Qiao smiled soothingly and said, "Mother may not know that my daughter-in-law's swordsmanship impressed Han Ye. Moreover, my daughter-in-law knows acupuncture. It would be uneasy to wait for her in Kyoto."
Seeing that Qiao Jinjin was determined to leave, the Duke's wife knew that it was useless to persuade her, so she could only say, "Then bring more people with you. Tomorrow I will ask your father to go to the palace to report to the emperor and send more guards to follow you."
After seeing off the Duke's wife, Qiao Jinjin sat on a chair and asked the system, which had been silent for a long time, "System, can you take a look at Han Ye's current situation?"
After a long while, the system's voice finally sounded [Host, the male master was only stabbed. As for why he was unconscious, I have a message for you. The male master seems to be awakening the memories of his past two lives. You need to be prepared.]
"What? Awakening memory? How can memory be awakened?"
[Soul binding is like this. There is a certain chance that the male owner will remember everything, but this is not the case in every world.]
"Will there be any changes? After all, my appearance is different in every world."
[Don't worry about that. No matter what the host looks like, the male owner will recognize you at first sight. Don't underestimate the power of soul binding. Even if the host turns into a kitten or a puppy, the male owner will still recognize you.]
After listening to the system's explanation, Aunt Qiao felt relieved, but at the same time she was a little nervous, wondering if Xu Hanye would change anything after his memory was awakened.
On the day of departure, the three little guys looked at Aunt Qiao crying. Their misty big eyes made Aunt Qiao feel nervous, but no matter how reluctant she was, she could not change her determination to go to the border.
The three little guys haven’t been named yet. Originally, their names were to be announced on their first birthday, but Xu Hanye went to the border and the naming was delayed. Now there are still three months before the children’s first birthday, and I don’t know if I can return before the children’s first birthday.
Aunt Qiao gave the three little guys nicknames: the eldest brother was called Jindou, the second brother was called Yindou, and the youngest sister was called Zhenzhu.
"Gold Bean, Silver Bean, Pearl, you must listen to your grandparents. Your mother will come back with your father in a few days."
Yindou and Zhenzhu tilted their heads in confusion, seemingly not quite understanding what Aunt Qiao meant, but Jindou nodded sensibly.
Although Jindou cannot speak yet, he sometimes responds to what adults say with actions. His intelligence amazes everyone who has seen him.
Jin Jin Qiao gave up her plan to take a carriage and rode a white horse. This horse was given to her by Xu Hanye before hunting last year, but it had been kept in the stable for so long, and this was the first time Jin Jin Qiao rode it.
Fortunately, Aunt Qiao has a system, otherwise we would have been exposed to the wind and sun along the way, and I don’t know what our skin would be like when we arrived at our destination.
The situation at the border was more serious than Aunt Qiao had imagined. Although Xu Hanye had won the battle, the border was covered with yellow sand after the battle.
There was no one in the ruined town; the people had long been moved out by Xu Hanye.
Aunt Qiao frowned tightly, tightened her cloak, and looked around. She would see Xu Hanye in less than a hundred miles.
"Jiang Fei, take some people to investigate ahead. I feel like something is wrong."
Jiang Fei is a newly trained deputy general under the emperor. He is a steady man and doesn't talk much.
Jiang Fei's face also looked a little solemn. He nodded and waved to the guards following behind him.
The situation was just as Aunt Qiao had imagined. When Jiang Fei brought his men back, they were all more or less injured.
"What's going on?"
Jiang Fei covered his arm and said, "There is an ambush ahead. If my guess is correct, they are trying to sneak attack the general. It seems that the news that the general is unconscious has spread."
