Pingzhi Mountain is suitable for recuperation. Xiao Tingyi said that it would be bad for the fetus if she went back at this time, so it would be best for her to stay here to recuperate. Jiang Yuanyi and Xiao Tuo had played here for six or seven days, and it was time to go back.

Xiao Tingyi knew that Jiang Yuanyi and the others were going back to Beijing, so he called Jiang Yuanyi to his room the night before.

Jiang Yuanyi didn't know why her sister called her, so she said something to Xiao Tuo and left.

She gently opened the door and saw her sister sitting on the couch, holding a black object in her hand. She was far away and couldn't see clearly.

Hearing Jiang Yuanyi's voice, Xiao Tingyi put the things in her hand on the low-legged table beside her and poured a cup of tea: "Sit down, sister."

Jiang Yuanyi lifted her skirt and sat down, thanked her, and took the tea from Xiao Tingyi: "What do you want to talk to me about, sister?"

Xiao Tingyi put one hand on the table, and her slender fingers gently brushed across the black copper plaque-shaped token, as if she was very familiar with every pattern and every groove on it.

Her eyes were clear and bright, looking out the window, as if she saw a vast and cold battlefield with flying dust.

Xiao Tingyi frowned slightly, her voice always indifferent: "In the 17th year of Zhihe, Weiyuan Kingdom united with Dingwu Kingdom, Qiu An Kingdom, Shi Ming Kingdom and other five countries, and combined their forces, intending to break through the important border town of Heyou Town in one fell swoop."

She paused and asked, "Yuanyi, do you know Heyou Town?"

Jiang Yuanyi nodded: "Yier knows."

Hearing Jiang Yuanyi's affirmative answer, she looked at the dark night sky outside and continued: "There is a natural ridge on the border of our country, called Yuzhang Mountains. The weather in Yuzhang Mountains is unpredictable and the terrain is steep. Only in Heyou Town, there is a Huquan Pass. Once it is broken through, the entire Ning'an Kingdom will be in danger of overthrowing."

Jiang Yuanyi was familiar with military books and knew this history.

In the winter of the 17th year of Zhihe, Weiyuan led hundreds of thousands of troops to capture the border defense line. Ning'an could not resist alone, so it united with the other three countries. However, the negotiations and the time it took to transfer troops had already consumed too much.

The border war was urgent, and there were urgent documents every day, and hundreds of war horses died.

Xiao Kangyuan and Xiao Yuning guarded the border all day long. After a big battle, Ning'an fell behind, and the two were ordered by the emperor to return to Beijing for consultation. There were

still four other generals guarding the border, and Xiao Kangyuan and Xiao Yuning hurried back to the capital for 800 miles.

Jiang Yuanyi didn't know how Xiao Tingyi persuaded the emperor and General Xiao. He only knew that Xiao Tingyi immediately followed them to the border.

Later, the troops of the countries allied with Ning'an were finally transferred here. Although the number of people was not as good, relying on the advantage of terrain, the two sides fought a few more times and finally reached a tie.

But no one retreated. It took nearly five months.

In just five months, Xiao Tingyi established her women's army, named Huquan Army. She

swore to her life and death that the enemy would never pass Huquan Pass.

She established it quietly, sneaked into the enemy's camp silently, and found out where they placed food and weapons. Later, the army of Ning'an State ambushed them, made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, and after actively provoking the war, they sent people to burn their food and destroy their weapons.

The enemy's morale was greatly crushed, and Xiao Kangyuan worked hard to reorganize the army and finally beat them out of the border of Ning'an State.

At that time, the Huquan Army was still completely small, but it made the emperor and Xiao Kangyuan see her value.

In the following years, Weiyuan State was unwilling to fight back again, and the Huquan Army gradually grew in size and played a role again and again. It became a women's army known to women and children in Ning'an State.

Jiang Yuanyi could not imagine how much effort Xiao Tingyi had put in.

She comforted her, "Sister, there has been no war on the border of Ning'an in the past few years. You can rest assured and take care of yourself. Once you recover, it won't be too late to go to the battlefield."

Xiao Tingyi smiled and turned to look at Jiang Yuanyi: "Do you think I'm in a bad mood and want to chat with you?" Jiang Yuanyi

said blankly: "No?"

Xiao Tingyi shook her head, she stood up, took out paper and pen, spread them on the table, and unfolded the border map that she was familiar with.

Including where there are small roads, where there are streams, where there are caves...

This map is a hundred times more detailed than the one Jiang Yuanyi bought.

Xiao Tingyi: "This is what I drew these days." She rolled up the map and put it in the paper tube.

"Yuanyi."

Jiang Yuanyi looked up at her. Her eyes were clear and sharp. Jiang Yuanyi seemed to see the desolate battlefield through those eyes again.

Xiao Tingyi's voice was gentle: "The border has not been stable in the past two years. Weiyuan and Shiming have been harassing the people on the border. It is not certain when a big war will break out. I am pregnant and cannot go to the battlefield."

Jiang Yuanyi's premonition became stronger and stronger. She only felt her heartbeat gradually speeding up and thumping in her chest.

She heard Xiao Tingyi ask her: "Huquan Army, are you willing to accept it?"

Jiang Yuanyi stared at Xiao Tingyi blankly, somewhat unbelievable.

Xiao Tingyi's hand holding the black token gradually loosened: "You may not use this token, but it is for emergency use. If a war breaks out, it will be too late for me to give you the token from Jinzhou..."

Seeing that Jiang Yuanyi had not responded, Xiao Tingyi patted Jiang Yuanyi's hand, "Yuanyi, it doesn't matter if you don't want to, father and elder brother are here..."

Jiang Yuanyi held Xiao Tingyi's hand, her voice trembling slightly: "Sister... I want to."

————

Xiao Tuo waited in the yard with a confused look on his face. He looked up at the bright moon for almost half an hour. His neck was a little sore. Xiao Tuo leaned on Lin Zhengyu with his elbow: "What did my sister want to talk to Yuanyi about? Why did they talk for so long?"

Lin Zhengyu thought about it, and in order to save his life, he swallowed the words in his throat, frowned, and said: "I don't know either."

The door was pushed open with a creak, and Jiang Yuanyi stood up and walked out, holding hands with Xiao Tingyi, with a sense of mutual appreciation.

Xiao Tuo leaned into Lin Zhengyu's ear: "What happened to them when we were away?"

Lin Zhengyu shook his head.

The Taoist temple was quiet and peaceful, with the occasional rustling of leaves.

The sound of the wind in the mountains is different from that in the city. When the wind blows, there is a large and continuous sound.

Xiao Tuo dragged Jiang Yuanyi back to the room. The maid brought hot water. After they washed themselves, they nestled into the bed.

Jiang Yuanyi liked to cover her mouth with the quilt, leaving only her head exposed. The two lay on their sides, facing each other.

Xiao Tuo looked at her and asked, "Don't you have anything to say?"

Jiang Yuanyi was so confident in front of her sister, but now she felt guilty for no reason. She blinked her eyes, hugged Xiao Tuo's neck, and her voice was three times more coquettish than usual: "Husband...you,"

Before she started talking, Xiao Tuo grabbed her hand and sat up with his shoulder.

Xiao Tuo: "Let's talk nicely."

Jiang Yuanyi: "..."

Bird, beast, you are not like this usually.

Jiang Yuanyi cleared her throat and looked at Xiao Tuo: "I heard from my father that you will go to the army soon."

Xiao Tuo's mind was full of thoughts, and he didn't know why the topic suddenly came to him. He choked and said palely: "I am a son of the Xiao family, and I will go to the battlefield." He

just married his wife, and he will have to join the army soon. That means he won't be able to see each other for a long time, which seems to be something that no human being can do.

Xiao Tuo is usually eloquent, but he is speechless at critical moments.

He has thought about this problem for a long time, but he has never known how to bring it up with Jiang Yuanyi.

He was struggling with it when he heard Jiang Yuanyi's aggrieved voice: "You are going to the battlefield, so it will take a long time for us to see each other..."

Xiao Tuo frowned, raised his head gently and grabbed Jiang Yuanyi's thin shoulders: "There have been fewer border disputes in recent years, even if you go to the barracks..." He shortened the time and changed it to "You can still come back once a month."

Jiang Yuanyi frowned: "See you once a month?"

She put her head on her knees, and her lips pouted slightly unconsciously.

Jiang Yuanyi's eyes are extremely perfect in shape, with wrinkles on her eyelids that fit her beautiful eyes and curl up slightly at the end of her eyes. Now they droop down in grievance, and under her dense eyelashes, her clear pupils are flashing with tiny lights.

Xiao Tuo felt his throat dry: "I..."

The little girl in front of him suddenly brightened her eyes: "I have a way."

Xiao Tuo had a bad feeling in his heart: "What?"

Jiang Yuanyi pretended to smile, but after going around in circles and acting for a long time, when she finally said this, her heartbeat still jumped a few times.

"I can also join the army, just like my sister, so that I can always be by your side..."

Jiang Yuanyi saw his face fade a little bit, and his voice unconsciously weakened.

Xiao Tuo figured it out after connecting this string.

Why did Jiang Yuanyi stop practicing piano and embroidery, and practice horse riding, archery, and medicine all day long? How stupid he was to not see that all these were preparations for the battlefield.

Seeing the shining knife chopping people, she was obviously trembling with fear, but she still pretended not to be afraid at all, and even put on a cute smile when he asked.

For the first time, Xiao Tuo's face really sank in front of Jiang Yuanyi, and his voice was a little hoarse: "No."

Jiang Yuanyi thought that he might disagree, but when he really heard him say this without hesitation, Jiang Yuanyi suddenly felt a little wronged.

Her eyes were red: "Why? My archery skills are no worse than those who have trained for several years in the military camp. I am familiar with military books. I even memorized all the routes and maps of Yuzhang Mountain Range in Ning'an Kingdom. I have deduced countless times on the sand table based on military books... Why, why..."

Jiang Yuanyi felt more and more wronged. Tears rolled down her cheeks and fell straight into Xiao Tuo's palm.

Xiao Tuo shuddered unconsciously.

A strong wind blew outside, blowing off leaves and branches, and banging the doors and windows in the yard.

He took a deep breath: "You have never been to a real battlefield. You can't imagine how complicated and dangerous the situation is.

My sister founded the women's army and became famous throughout Ning'an. But do you know how many times she almost died at the hands of the enemy?"

Hearing the words "died at the hands of the enemy", the scene of Chu Huan announcing Xiao Tuo's death in front of Jiang Yuanyi in his previous life appeared in front of him.

Jiang Yuanyi cried so hard that she couldn't breathe. She choked and said, "I, I don't care, I will go to the battlefield with you."

This was the first time that Xiao Tuo made Jiang Yuanyi cry like this, and his entire palm was wet with tears. The tears fell into his hand, as if they weighed a thousand pounds.

His fingers were trembling, and he said in a deep voice: "Sister has been training since she was young, and it took her nearly twelve years to be able to escape death every time. You are very talented, but it has only been four or five months."

His Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his eyes were a little swollen and painful. It seemed that he said this with great difficulty: "If I really encounter any danger, what do you want me to do?"

Jiang Yuanyi suddenly broke down and cried: "Then if you encounter any danger, what should I do!... Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu..."
