Jiang Yu's heart pounded slightly, with a hint of nervousness. Was she still the same as before?
Looking at the two giant mountains towering high in the sky, there is only a very narrow valley in the middle.
Yan Gongdao: "We're almost at Longmen Mountain. Have the people to meet us arrived yet?"
Qi Nuan was also looking at Longmen Mountain.
According to the time Jiang Yu mentioned in the letter, if there are no unforeseen circumstances, the soldiers who came to pick them up should have already arrived at Longmen Mountain.
The question is, who is the person Jiang Yu sent to meet them?
However, it must be someone she knows, but she doesn't know if it's Qingqing or Xiao or one of them.
Three years have passed. I imagine everyone has changed a lot. I wonder if I can still recognize you at first glance?
She held the binoculars in her hand, but couldn't see the person on the other side.
Yan Gong took the binoculars from her hand, and the opposite mountain forest was instantly brought into view. He looked carefully, but found nothing.
"Your thing is quite useful; it's very convenient for use in warfare."
The telescope was developed by Jiang Yu at Qi Nuan's request. The principle is very simple; the only difficulty is that the lenses inside are not yet available.
Once the glass is made, everything becomes simple.
Qi Nuan asked, "What did you discover?"
Yan Gong shook his head.
"If they really did arrive, it seems the other side is very good at hiding themselves."
Qi Nuan nodded and looked at Lou Wan, "Their strength is considerable. Does this put your mind at ease, General?"
Lou Wan was holding the binoculars he had just received from Yan Gong, looking at the opposite mountain. Hearing her words, he said, "Of course I believe you, otherwise I wouldn't have left Hedong with you."
Qi Nuan raised an eyebrow; he certainly put it nicely.
Okay.
"Get the soldiers moving forward quickly."
Qi Nuan gave the order.
Seeing that Qi Nuan wanted to ride forward, Yan Gong stopped her, saying, "We must be on guard."
Qi Nuan smiled and said, "There's nothing to be wary of. I trust him."
Besides, they had already chosen this path, and it was too late to take precautions now, but Qi Nuan also knew that Yan Gong was worried about her safety.
So he said, “Lord Yan, there is no need to worry. Since the soldiers trust me so much, I will naturally protect their safety.”
"If there is any danger, I should be the one to take it. There is no reason for a soldier to take the blow for me."
With that, he spurred his horse and rode to the very front.
Qi Nuan addressed the soldiers, "Longmen Mountain is just ahead, and the Shangjun army is right there. Now, show them your strength and let them know that we are not to be trifled with. Let them see our power."
"Even if we reach Upper County, we will be the strongest army in the country. Can you do that?"
"I can do it..."
"An army without a map is invincible in battle and unconquerable in attack; always ready to fight to the death..."
"An army without a map is invincible..."
Looking at the soldiers with high morale, Qi Nuan smiled with satisfaction.
She brought these people to Shangjun, so she naturally had to take responsibility for them. Although they had come to seek refuge in Shangjun, she also wanted them to know that they were no less capable than anyone else.
Hearing the soldiers' slogans, Yan Gong looked at Lou Wan and said, "Now you can rest assured. These troops were brought out by her, and she has never given up on them, even if they go to Shangjun."
Lou Wan nodded, but a hint of worry remained in his eyes. "Doesn't Lord Yan think she trusts Jiang Yu too much?"
Yan Gong laughed and said, "Isn't trust good? The worst thing on the battlefield is suspicion. Only with trust can we accomplish more."
"I was being narrow-minded."
Yan Gong remained silent, which was not considered narrow-minded, given that he had invested all his wealth in Qi Nuan and it was normal for him to have some concerns.
After all, the human heart is the most unpredictable thing.
I just hope that Qi Nuan's trust in the other person will always remain this way.
"drive……"
The two rode their horses forward.
As the enemy army drew closer, Jiang Yu also saw the girl on horseback at the very front.
Even though he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, Jiang Yu knew that the girl was Qi Nuan.
Qi Nuan seemed to sense something as well, and looked up at the place where Jiang Yu was hiding.
Qi Nuan felt her heart pounding, and suddenly, she felt a sense of trepidation, as if she were returning home.
Ji Jin followed Qi Nuan's gaze to the distance, then asked, "What's wrong?"
Qi Nuan looked away and shook her head. "It's nothing."
Then he added, "Have someone raise the flag high and announce our name."
Ji Jin nodded.
A soldier stepped forward and shouted, "The Wutu Army of Hedong has come to surrender to Shangjun. Please come and see the general..."
"The army without a map in Hedong has come to seek refuge in Shangjun. They request that the general come to see them..."
The moment Jiang Yu saw Qi Nuan, he had the soldiers prepare.
The soldiers who had been lying in ambush filed out.
Jiang Yu led his soldiers in a line, and when the two armies were a hundred meters apart, Jiang Yu reined in his horse.
He looked at Qi Nuan across from him.
"Jiang Yu of Shangjun led his soldiers to welcome the Wutu Army home."
"Welcome home, no-picture army..."
"Welcome, no-picture general..."
Jiang Yu raised his hand, and the soldiers behind him stopped.
"Those who enter my Shangjun are all my comrades, as close as brothers, we are one family, welcome all my comrades home."
"Welcome home, fellow comrades..."
At that moment, all the anxiety in the hearts of the soldiers behind Qi Nuan vanished; their choice was right.
He is Jiang Yu.
Everyone around Qi Nuan turned their attention to Jiang Yu.
He looked to be in his early twenties, still very young, but judging from his aura, no one dared to underestimate him. He stared directly at Qi Nuan, his gaze deep and his expression cold, his black battle robe making him appear even more solemn.
It was not quite what they had imagined, yet it seemed to be exactly as they had envisioned.
Qi Nuan met his gaze.
My heart was filled with a myriad of emotions, yet it felt as if nothing existed at all.
That's how he should be.
Sharp yet understated.
It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it also felt like only a moment. Qi Nuan smiled at him and said, "Ayu, it's been a long time."
Her already hoarse voice became even hoarser at this moment.
Upon hearing her voice, Jiang Yu's eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't say anything; she had lost a lot of weight.
He turned his gaze to the person next to her.
Qi Nuan said, "This is Lord Yan, a man of great talent..."
Zhang Liao's gaze fell on Yan Gong. He naturally knew of Yan Gong's existence and had always longed to meet him. It was a great fortune to meet him today.
Jiang Yu already knew about the existence of these people around her from her letters to Qi Nuan.
They also knew that Yan Gong was Qi Nuan's master.
He greeted Yan Gong with the courtesy due to a junior, saying, "Hello, Yan Gong..."
Then there was Lou Wan, Ji Jin...
After exchanging pleasantries, Lord Yan said, "It seems the pursuers will be arriving soon. I wonder what your thoughts are, young master?"
Jiang Yu did not answer, but instead asked, "What do you all think?"
The pursuers were all from the Hedong army, and were their former comrades-in-arms. Although they were brought by Qi Nuan, they still needed to be tested.
What was their attitude towards the pursuers?
