Qinghe stopped and stood where he was, lowering his head and whispering, "I always feel that I'm sorry for you."
Ouyang Ming gently patted the back of her hand and said, "To put it bluntly, I married you and stayed with you solely for you. So, don't dwell on anything else. As long as we can be together in this life and grow old together, I'll be satisfied."
Ouyang Ming had said this many times when she was depressed. Even Tang Chen had said that children were just a byproduct of love, but it always felt tragic that as a woman, destined from birth to never become a mother...
Just as Qinghe and Ouyang Ming had expected, not long after leaving the city, Tang Chen made it clear that he would never follow them to live out his life alone in the deep mountains and forests.
Li Xinzhai rambled on and on as he drove his carriage towards Qingliang Valley. His general message was the same: "...I'm telling you, can you be more reliable? If you have any ideas, please share them with everyone sooner!"
Tang Chen also said very apologetically: "I, I'm not afraid that you won't agree. And I did plan to go with you to find Uncle Li first, but after thinking about it for a few days, I still feel that I want to accompany him."
Li Xinzhai didn't blame her, but felt that she should have told them in advance if she had something to say so that everyone could be prepared. "We didn't say we couldn't let you go. After all, your feet are on your body, and we can't control where you go. But if you change your mind at the last minute, I'm fine with it, but that person on the roof is going to explode with rage."
Tang Chen poked his head out to look at Mo Yu, who was squatting on the roof of the car, with only a piece of his clothes visible, and said, "I actually think that he is not angry with me, but he is angry with me for not being able to bring you back with him."
Li Xinzhai shook his head helplessly and said, "You are the best at making up stories."
Tang Chen smiled and returned to the car, sitting dignifiedly: "Alright, alright, let's get on the road. The one upstairs, although I'm sorry, I'd like to ask you to pay attention to the surrounding situation!"
"..." No matter what they said, Mo Yu on the roof remained silent. Until Tang Chen offered an extremely tempting condition as compensation: "I won't let you work for nothing. Li Xinzhai previously drew a lot of small picture books for his future niece. How about I give you a few as souvenirs!"
Although I really don't want to sacrifice my dignity just for a few picture books, the principle of true fragrance is unavoidable most of the time: "...Deal."
Li Xinzhai was stunned for a moment, then said, "You have no stance at all. I despise you."
Just as Tang Chen was about to embark on his journey home, Wang Yanzhou led the Qingliang Valley army and moved the battlefield from the valley entrance to a hilly plain some distance away from Qingliang Valley.
Wang Yanzhou was discussing with his fellow soldiers how to repel the enemy when the messenger suddenly ran in and said, "Your Majesty, Lieutenant General Wang is back!"
The meeting just ended. After the soldiers left the commander's camp, Wang Yanzhou said anxiously, "Hurry, get him to come over!"
After Wang Nianqing entered the account, Wang Yanzhou's first question was to ask if there was any news about Tang Chen, but he suddenly found himself afraid to speak, so he had to ask first: "...How is it going? Is everything okay in the valley?"
Wang Nianqing said, "Fortunately, the South Vietnamese army has been completely driven away from the valley entrance by us a few days ago. However, although Qingliang Valley is safe, the South Vietnamese army has been on our backs all the way, and the situation is still not optimistic."
Wang Yanzhou said they had anticipated these developments. The risky move was intended to split the Nanyue army into several parts so they could defeat them one by one. "We were just discussing countermeasures. Several major counties north of Daliang, as well as the capital, are currently under imperial guard. As long as we seize the moment, we shouldn't have any problems."
Wang Nianqing looked at the sand table and frowned. "But timing is indeed difficult to grasp. If we miss the opportunity, or if other places are not prepared enough, the consequences will be beyond our control."
Wang Yanzhou was at his wit's end. He could only take things one step at a time. "Indeed, for now, we can only wait until the supplies are complete before we catch up. Is there any movement in the Northern Desert?"
Wang Nianqing shook her head and said, "Although Beimo is still pretending to be on the sidelines, they are secretly gathering their troops. I just don't know if they want to reap the benefits, or if they are just stalking the cicada while the oriole is waiting behind."
Zhong Qin said sarcastically, "In short, he has no good intentions."
After the three of them expressed their opinions on the matter in the tent, Wang Nianqing remembered that there was something very important that she had forgotten to tell Wang Yanzhou: "Oh, I almost forgot about this important matter."
When Wang Yanzhou took the crumpled piece of paper handed to him by Wang Nianqing, his face was filled with questions: "What is this?"
Wang Nianqing smiled and said, "Open it and you'll know."
The moment he opened the paper, the gloom on Wang Yanzhou's face was instantly swept away. Wasn't this the good news he had been waiting for? "...Great!"
Seeing Wang Yanzhou so excited, Zhong Qin moved closer to him curiously: "Let me see..."
The two short greetings on the paper ball really made them breathe a sigh of relief. Tang Chen was safe, and Wang Yanzhou could finally fight the war with peace of mind: "I'm glad you found him safely. Now you can focus on the war."
After Wang Yanzhou carefully placed the note close to his body, a smile appeared on his face: "... Once it's over, I can pick her up."
Wang Nianqing continued, "After I received this, I sent a message back for you. Tell Madam that we are all well. The letter should have arrived by now."
"Finally, one thing has been solved, and..." Before Wang Yanzhou could express his joy, a sudden loud bang, accompanied by flames, flying sand, and the wailing of soldiers, resounded throughout the camp.
"What's going on!"
Just as the three of them hurried out of the tent, someone came running over to report the news: "Report! Our rear was attacked!"
Wang Yanzhou said, "A normal surprise attack wouldn't cause such a large-scale attack. This place is open and flat, so it's impossible for them to come from a high place. Pass the order down, prepare for battle!"
"yes!"
But what was unexpected was that the South Vietnamese army, which had been defeated when they met them before, now had several more weapons called cannons in their hands, which Wang Yanzhou had only seen in Wang Zhen's notes before, with help from somewhere.
