Ever since Gu Nanji sent Murong Jinyi and others back to the territory of the Sals people, he has returned to his cold-faced general form.
Wu Yuanlou also became listless.
General Qiu was no longer interested in arguing with him.
"I say, what's wrong with you two? You look so listless. What's the matter? Did you break up?" General Qiu found an opportunity and pulled the two of them together for tea.
"No, it's just that I can't see the person I like because of my special status, so I can't get excited." Wu Yuanlou explained.
Gu Nanji didn't explain, but what Wu Yuanlou said was almost the same as what he thought.
"Oh, what happened to me at that time? Just because of such a small matter, you two have lost your former charm. This is not good. Cheer up and listen to the old man's story." General Qiu touched his beard and said with a smile.
Gu Nanji became interested and listened with his ears perked up, but still looked as if he didn't care much.
"Back then, I was also a handsome man with elegant demeanor, galloping across the battlefield. Opposite me at that time was the Beiqiu Kingdom, which was located between the Sars people and the Dujiaocuo Kingdom. At that time, the world had not yet divided its territory into its own, unlike today's clear divisions. The Beiqiu Kingdom was a relatively weak country. Their monarch was a woman. Although she was a woman, she had made great military achievements and conquered the country quickly. At that time, the female monarch was old and wanted to choose a crown prince from among her children. The Beiqiu Kingdom had never divided the country into male and female as our country did. "It's generally clear, so no matter whether you're a man or a woman, as long as you're capable, you can ascend to the throne. So the Queen's children all volunteered to fight, wanting to prove their abilities. One of them, Xue Lisha, was a beautiful woman, and her martial arts skills were also outstanding among her children. To prove her ability, she came to our border and challenged us, saying she wanted to challenge us in a one-on-one fight. I was young and hot-tempered at the time, so how could I tolerate such a provocation? I rode out and charged." General Qiu took a sip of tea.
Wu Yuanlou glanced at him and said, "You still can't resist the other party's provocation. Have you forgotten that person last time who rushed out as soon as he provoked you?"
"How can it be the same? Sometimes we have to do something." General Qiu sighed when he heard this.
"Okay, then what happened?" Wu Yuanlou asked.
Gu Nanji turned over the sweet potato on the stove.
"Then we fought for dozens of rounds. I couldn't defeat her, but she couldn't beat me either. So we were in a stalemate. Later, she played tricks and ran away on her horse, and I chased her. Now I think I underestimated the enemy." General Qiu recalled and subconsciously curled his lips.
"What's next?" Wu Yuanlou was really curious.
"Later, I fell into her trap. After falling into the snare, she wanted to kill me, but she was attracted by my appearance and didn't kill me." General Qiu touched his face proudly.
Wu Yuanlou exclaimed.
General Qiu knocked him on the head with his hand and said, "What the hell are you talking about?
"Ouch, it hurts!" Wu Yuanlou held his head.
"What's next?" Gu Nanji asked.
General Qiu thought the boy hadn't listened, but it turned out he was. He continued, "She might have been moved by kindness. I don't know why she didn't kill me, but she rescued me from the trap. My foot was injured, and she couldn't just leave me there because wolves might stalk at night, so she took me to the nearest inhabited area and let me recover there."
Wu Yuanlou's eyes were filled with disbelief. "This is too unbelievable. If I were her, I would kill you right then and there and would never leave any trouble for myself."
General Qiu glared at him and said, "If it was little Murong who fell into the trap, would you still kill him?" General Qiu brought up Wu Yuanlou's beloved to see his reaction.
"Of course I don't." Wu Yuanlou blushed.
"That's it. No matter why she didn't kill me, I survived anyway. Besides, she came to visit me from time to time. As time went by, we developed feelings for each other." General Qiu couldn't help but curl his lips as he recalled those beautiful days in the past.
"What happened next?" Wu Yuanlou asked in doubt. General Qiu was single now and had never married. He had always thought that General Qiu was purely passionate about the frontier guarding career and had no interest in love. He never expected that he had such a past.
"Later, she was framed by her brothers and sisters and drugged. When she found me, I didn't want to take advantage of her in this situation, but she said, 'I don't want anyone else but you.' Who could stand it after she said that? Later, she recovered, turned her back on me, and told me to forget about it. I was angry at the time." General Qiu recalled, his cheeks still red.
"What happened next? Why didn't you two get together?" Wu Yuanlou asked.
"She defeated her other brothers and sisters and took the position of crown princess. After that, there was no news. I never saw her again. After my injury recovered, I returned to the border. I didn't mention this matter to anyone except you two." General Qiu sighed.
"Why don't you go to their country and find out the truth?" Wu Yuanlou was anxious.
"What are you asking? She said that I don't think about anyone else except her, and she was the one who asked me to forget about it. What can I do? I'm also very desperate. I'm so angry that I want to die..." General Qiu was so angry that he beat his chest.
"If I were you, I would definitely chase after him and find out what happened." Gu Nanji said.
General Qiu glanced at him and said, "Why don't you chase after him and ask?"
