After returning to the military camp, Jiang Yu finally put Qi Nuan down.
"You rest here for a while, I'll come back later."
Seeing that Jiang Yu was about to leave, Qi Nuan said, "It's alright, I'm not hurt. Let's go out together. They'll worry if they don't see me."
Jiang Yu stared at her, but Qi Nuan looked away.
"I'm fine."
Her voice was a little hoarse. Jiang Yu wanted to ask her why she had suddenly disappeared, but now was not the time to ask that.
Yan Gong and the others are still waiting for him.
Seeing Qi Nuan's reaction, Jiang Yu agreed and led Qi Nuan out of the tent.
At this moment, Yan Gong and the others were sitting around the campfire.
Everyone stood up when they saw Jiang Yu and Qi Nuan appear.
"No need for formalities, sit down and let's talk."
Actually, saying "sitting" is just a euphemism for "legged."
Seeing that Qi Nuan's face was still a little pale, Qingqing asked, "What's wrong? Are you hurt?"
The messenger only said that Qi Nuan had suddenly disappeared, without explaining what had happened.
Qi Nuan felt a warmth in her heart as she looked at everyone's caring eyes. Her face flushed slightly, and she said somewhat embarrassedly, "Well... people have to use the restroom sometimes, and I was in a bit of a hurry at the time, so I didn't have time to tell A Yu and the others."
Oh, I see.
This is indeed a bit difficult to talk about.
The others didn't ask any more questions. Since Qi Nuan had said it, they believed her. As for the rest...
If Qi Nuan doesn't say anything, then it means they shouldn't ask.
Now that Emperor Zhou and Sheng Xiao are both dead, it's only a matter of time before Changsha is taken over, and things won't be peaceful thereafter.
The common enemy of the rebels has been eliminated.
That would mean that the Chinese allies are no longer allies.
The ambush set up by Emperor Zhou this time did indeed take away many generals.
Gu Yucheng was also seriously injured.
The real war between them only began after everyone had recovered from their shock.
"Urgent report..."
Jiang Yu looked at the person who had come.
Qi Nuan already guessed what it was.
As expected.
The messenger said, "My lord, the Rouran army is approaching the border."
Jiang Yu took the military report from the messenger.
It was a letter from General Ji, who was stationed on the frontier.
The Rouran sent out a considerable number of soldiers.
It seems the Rouran were very well-informed; they deliberately chose to attack the Central Plains while their army was marching south.
Now that Emperor Zhou is dead, they can withdraw some of their personnel.
Head to Shangjun to provide support.
After all, wars within the Central Plains are merely matters for the people of the Central Plains themselves.
However, it is absolutely impossible for the Rouran to take advantage of the situation and invade the Central Plains.
He simply looked at Yan Gong and the others.
Now is the perfect time to compete for control of the Central Plains. Who should be sent to support Shangjun?
Qi Nuan looked at the hesitation on Jiang Yu's face.
He stepped forward and volunteered, saying, "Let me lead the troops to support General Ji."
Jiang Yu looked at Qi Nuan, her eyes revealing a mystery.
How could he let her out of his sight now that something like this had just happened?
"This matter is of great importance; a decision will be made after further discussion."
After he finished speaking, he didn't look at Qi Nuan.
He asked Yan Gong and Zhang Liao, "What do you think, Yan Gong and Mr. Zhang?"
Yan Gong and Zhang Liao exchanged a glance.
Knowing that the Rouran were coming with great force this time, and that it would not be as simple as harassing the border as before before they would retreat.
The group then discussed matters concerning the battle.
But time is limited.
We'll need to discuss the specifics another day.
It was late at night, and everyone was exhausted after expending so much energy during the day.
It is really not the right time to make a decision today.
The crowd dispersed.
Ji Jin looked at Qi Nuan walking with Jiang Yu and wanted to go up and say something to her, but then decided against it.
Back in her tent, Qi Nuan looked at Jiang Yu, knowing that Jiang Yu must have many questions for her.
She didn't know how to tell Jiang Yu for a moment.
She sat on the edge of the bed.
We were just waiting for him to speak.
However, Jiang Yu did not speak.
What are you doing?
She saw Jiang Yu bring over a basin of hot water and place it at her feet.
Qi Nuan tried to stand up, but Jiang Yu pressed her down.
"Don't... I can do it myself..."
Looking at Jiang Yu, who was bending down to take off her shoes and socks, Qi Nuan felt a little embarrassed.
Although Jiang Yu had done these things for her before, she was still young then.
Now that she's grown up, it feels strange for him to do that again.
"After a long day, a hot bath will make me feel better."
He put her feet in the hot water and gently poured water over them with his hands.
It's warm and cozy.
Qi Nuan looked down at him.
From her angle, she couldn't see his expression.
I have no idea what he's thinking.
She felt her palm brush against the sole of her foot, and she shifted her foot restlessly, feeling a tickle.
His hands were large, with distinct knuckles and long, slender fingers; they were very beautiful.
However, it's not very white; it's a healthy skin tone that's been exposed to sunlight.
Her feet contrasted sharply with his.
She looked at her feet in his hands—fair, round, and small—and felt somewhat fortunate that her feet were fairly pretty.
This feeling was quickly replaced by being moved.
Neither of them spoke again.
The only sounds were the flowing water and the hissing of the oil lamp.
Finally, Qi Nuan couldn't help but ask, "Ayu, don't you want to know why I suddenly disappeared?"
Jiang Yu looked up at her.
"I'll listen if you tell me, but I won't ask if you don't."
Qi Nuan smiled. He was truly a sensitive person, always able to quickly sense her unease and then calm her down just as quickly.
"Go wash up first, we'll talk later."
She looked at the bloodshot in his eyes and knew he was more tired than anyone else.
Suddenly I thought, let's leave it at that.
That's good enough.
Life is both long and short; just live it happily in this short time.
However, watching Jiang Yu's departing figure, Qi Nuan suddenly felt a surge of resentment.
She recalled Ye Sheng's time travel, her own transmigration into the book, and what she saw and heard in the space. What was real and what was fake?
She will help him.
She looked at him.
However, she was not willing to accept this outcome; he was such a good person.
She was unwilling to give him up so easily; there was no reason not to take advantage of a gift that was offered to her.
"Hehe...hehe"
Qi Nuan smiled; she smiled very happily.
She is, after all, someone favored by God, isn't she?
There is space and there is Ayu.
She will have more in the future.
Yes, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world; you have to work for what you want.
Why is she getting hung up on things that haven't even happened?
When Jiang Yu returned, she saw Qi Nuan smiling happily.
How come Qi Nuan changed so quickly?
However, he was happy to see Qi Nuan like this.
He had just been a little worried about Qi Nuan's condition.
Seeing her like this, he finally felt relieved.
"Ah Yu, you're here?"
Seeing the hot water he was carrying, she knew he had brought it for her to wash up.
Qi Nuan stood up and took the basin from his hand. "Wait for me a moment."
After saying that, he took the hot water and left.
Of course she wanted to wash herself thoroughly clean, she hummed a song.
