Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 247 Recovery
The battle in front of them was over and everyone felt relaxed. Tu Xun couldn't help laughing when he heard her words.

Tu Xun asked her back, "Are General Han and Prince Qilu not handsome enough?"

The girl quickly shook her head and denied it, waving her hands and saying, "No, no, no, they are also handsome. General Han is handsome in a dignified and dignified way, Prince Da Xi is handsome in a free and unrestrained way, and Duke Duan Ding is handsome in a way that is not like the one in the human world. Can you understand that?"

"His features and temperament are as beautiful as a cold and indifferent god who has walked into the mortal world." Another girl added in agreement.

Ju Liancheng did not deny this.

Although he did not understand women's aesthetic taste, Pei Nai did fall in love with Gu Jinheng at first sight and pursued Gu Jinheng.

The people of Tianyao knew that Gu Jinheng possessed the divine energy of alchemy and could hear sounds from far away, so they never dared to criticize him.

This was also the first time that Ju Liancheng heard people comment on Gu Jinheng's appearance in this way.

Pei Nai, who was below, saw Gu Jinheng from a distance.

But she had no time to appreciate Gu Jinheng's face, because Gu Jinheng's eyes were full of compassion, and his body was shrouded in a repressed aura. His face seemed to have lost all color, and his joints were white.

What kind of inner torture must he have suffered these days?
It was as if she was hanging on to her last breath, and if Pei Nai's body was found, this breath of life would disappear along with her.

She no longer waited for him to come over, but ran towards him.

Gu Jinheng stopped his horse and dismounted. He looked at Pei Nai without blinking, his eyes red, and opened his arms to her.

Pei Nai fell into his arms, Gu Jinheng hugged her, then leaned over and buried his head in her neck.

Pei Nai felt him trembling, and for a moment he didn't know how to start, as if something was stuck in his throat.

Gu Jinheng's hands gradually tightened, as if he wanted to embed her into his body. His voice was as sharp as ice and jade, and he apologized to her: "I'm sorry, I failed to protect you again."

Pei Nai's eyes shone, and she stroked his back to comfort him: "It's not your fault. Why are you all putting the blame on yourselves? In that case, it's mainly my own fault. Why are you blaming me for sitting on the stone bridge and watching the fun?"

Gu Jinheng's emotions were gradually calmed down by her words.

He slowly let go of Pei Nai, and slowly straightened his bent back, and soon he was much taller than Pei Nai.

He held Pei Nai's face in his hands and said in a very low voice: "Don't leave me again. I won't let you leave me again."

Pei Nai nodded, "Okay, I won't leave." She tried to coax him like she was coaxing a child.

Gu Jinheng saw the wound on Pei Nai's face, and pity appeared in his eyes, "Does it hurt?"

Pei Nai shook his head, "It doesn't hurt, just a minor injury."

Gu Jinheng held her cheeks with both hands and lowered his head to gently kiss her wound.

Pei Nai did not feel any pain because Gu Jinheng's Yuan Qi had wrapped her wounds and was helping her heal.

All she could feel was the coolness of his lips and the tingling sensation of his touch.

"Let's go. I'll take you to see what Linluyuan looks like." Pei Nai took his hand.

Gu Jinheng followed her closely.

Shao Liran and Gongyang Zisheng were in charge of the battlefield and could arrange the troops to clean up the battlefield, so Han Ruize and Da Xian didn't need to worry about it, so they followed.

When Chai Yaojin saw Pei Nai and the others returning to the fortress, he quickly had the main gate opened and then took everyone downstairs to greet them.

While waiting for the door to open, Pei Nai remembered something.

She asked Daxian, "By the way, Daxian, are you Qilu willing to swallow up Lu? Including Lu's territory and the survivors of Lu who have fled to various countries, they no longer have enough strength to rebuild their country on their own."

Daxian thought about this point.

But he was a little surprised. He glanced at Gu Jinheng and asked Pei Nai, "Give it to us? I thought Tianyao would take over."

"Lu State and Tianyao do not border each other. If Tianyao is to be taken over, it will be too difficult to govern, and the language is not common. But Qilu and Lu State are very close, and your languages are similar, which is equivalent to expanding the territory. It's just that it will be a bit troublesome to repair the border line in the early stage." Pei Nai thought for a long time and considered a lot for Lu State and Qilu. Da Xian nodded, and he was also more decisive, saying directly: "If you have no objection, then let us take over. In the previous dynasty, when Qilu was not yet established, Lu State and we belonged to the same country, so taking Lu State back would also be what the people of Qilu want."

Pei Nai looked up and confirmed with Gu Jinheng again, "Is everything ok? Is there anything else you want to add?"

This was a losing deal, but Gu Jinheng squeezed her hand and said, "I'll listen to you."

Da Xian was a little worried, "But if you hand over Lu to someone else, will Mingzhi be criticized?"

"No." Pei Nai shook his head firmly. "Qilu is a vassal of Tianyao. Once I defeat Yuecang, everywhere will be a vassal of Tianyao. What's the difference?"

Han Ruize had been listening nearby. He couldn't help laughing when he heard this. "I was wondering why you were willing to let Qi Lu take advantage of you. Turns out you were waiting here. You're amazing."

Daxian also looked at Pei Nai speechlessly, but he had no reason to refute.

Gu Jinheng squeezed Pei Nai's hand again, his lips curled up slightly, without saying a word.

The mountain gate was quickly opened, and Chai Yaojin and the survivors of the Lu State were waiting at the door. The little yellow dog Gungun came out from under everyone's feet.

Da Xian squatted down, picked up Gungun, and stroked its fur while saying to it, "Gungun has gained weight. Who has been feeding you these days? Who fed you so much?"

Pei Nai subconsciously raised his hand and pinched his face.

Gu Jinheng and Han Ruize looked at her in confusion at the same time, not understanding why she made this move.

Pei Nai put his hand down and explained: "Because I have been eating the same thing as it these past two days. It eats whatever I eat. I want to see if it is a diet problem."

Han Ruize was once again so angry that he laughed, "We didn't get much sleep because we were worried about you. You're living a very comfortable life here."

Pei Nai laughed foolishly twice.

Before the war, many Lu people supported handing over Pei Nai to the Wu people.

At this moment, many people were worried that Pei Nai would complain. If the matter was investigated further, they would bear a great responsibility.

But Pei Nai never mentioned the injustice he had suffered from beginning to end. He greeted everyone and took Gu Jinheng, Han Ruize and Da Xian to visit the interior of the fortress.

It was as if nothing had happened at all, which made countless people breathe a sigh of relief.

Later, Tianyao, Qilu and Linluyuan held a tripartite collective meeting.

There was no royal family or government left in the Kingdom of Lu, so Chai Yaojin, as the leader of the last surviving bastion of the Kingdom of Lu, signed a surrender agreement.

The royal army of Qilu will stay here and wait for the arrival of Qilu's western border troops and court officials from the capital Mixiang, and then carry out the handover.

The war had just ended, the country of Lu was divided, the survivors were distributed, and the refugees scattered across the country were recalled and resettled.
Everything is tricky, and Daxian and his team have a lot of things to finalize.

Pei Nai and the others were about to leave, but before they left, Da Xi'an called them back: "Are you going to pay respect to Senior Zhong?"

Because Pei Nai and the others just mentioned it.

"Yes." Pei Na nodded.

Da Xian stood up and said to everyone in the meeting room, "Then everyone, take a break first. We will continue in an hour."

He has great power and he is right.

No one dared to say a word. Pei Nai saw him following and asked, "Want to go together?"

"Yeah." Da Xian nodded.

Pei Nai led them to the top of the mountain and walked some distance deeper into the cave.
