Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 296 Extra Han Ruize's Daily Life with the Baby (I)

The dusk was dark and the wind was cold.

A team of silver-armored cavalrymen escorted the boy in the middle of the team, marching northward over the desert dunes.

The eagle was awakened by the sound of footsteps in the dust. It flapped its wings and flew into the sky, leaving a black shadow that blended with the distant mountains.

The boy was wrapped in a fox fur coat, which made his face look snow-white.

Although he is still young, his delicate facial features already reveal his extraordinary appearance in the future, and his cuteness is so handsome that people want to pinch him.

He rode alone on the horse, suffering from the bumps and bruises, but he did not stop.

This is exactly the six-year-old Gu Yuli.

They were near the southwest gate of the Pei family army's base. The guard on the corner tower saw him and shouted to the soldiers below: "Master Yu Li is here! Open the gate!"

Gu Yuli led the Silver-Armored Guards into the military camp, nodding and waving from time to time, politely responding to the soldiers' greetings.

"Yu Li, have you had dinner? It's getting late. You should hurry to the kitchen, or there won't be any good food."

"No, Uncle Zheng, I'll go find my brother Ze first. Where is my brother Ze?" Gu Yuli was familiar with the route.

The soldier also knew that he was talking about Han Ruize, so he said, "General Han is in the garrison today, and he should be in his tent now."

Gu Yuli nodded, let the soldiers of the Silver Armor Guard go to eat first, and then he rode to the camp where Han Ruize lived.

When he reached the door, a guard came over to help him lead the horse.

Gu Yuli took off the bags tied on both sides of the saddle and trotted into Han Ruize's barracks.

"Brother Ze, your gift is here!!" Gu Yuli shouted.

Han Ruize was drawing border maps of the states in the Wu clan domain. He looked up when he heard the noise. "Oh, you set out so early in the morning? You're going pretty fast today."

Gu Yuli put his bag on the table, ran to the cupboard to get his own water cup, poured himself a full cup of tea, and gulped it down.

After finishing, he saw that Han Ruize still didn't look at the bundle, so he said, "Why don't you look at the gifts?"

When Han Ruize heard this, he looked at him blankly, not understanding what he meant.

"When I said gift, I didn't mean me!" Gu Yuli was annoyed, "My mother asked me to bring you a gift!"

Han Ruize then put down his pen, washed his hands with the handkerchief beside him, and walked over to take a look.

He opened the bundle and saw a set of warm protective gear, including a dark brown plush scarf, fingerless leather gloves, and padded knee pads.

There are traces of hand-sewing on the protective gear. The workmanship is not exquisite, but the sewist's care can be seen.

Han Ruize understood and a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes.

Gu Yuli explained, "My mother bought the materials from the clothing store and made it herself. She said she saw Uncle Shao wearing a scarf made by Aunt Shangle last time, and she found out that soldiers in the military now like to show off the thermal protective gear made by their families, and she didn't expect you didn't have any."

Han Ruize carefully looked at all the protective gear and asked, "Has she been doing this for a long time?"

"Well, it's been a long time, and not only for you, but also for my father and Uncle Da Xi." Gu Yuli said shockingly.

Han Ruize turned to look at him, with doubts about life in his eyes.

Seeing that the light in his eyes was about to dim, Gu Yuli hurriedly comforted him, "Don't be sad. Each of you has a different style and material. My mother has put a lot of effort into it. Uncle Da Xi said that she is very good at balancing things."

Han Ruize was so angry that he laughed, but he was still too fond of the things in the bag to let go. He stroked them for a while before covering them up and preparing to take them to the bedroom.

"You said it would be great if you and Uncle Daxi got married. My mother would also save a lot of trouble."

Gu Yuli accompanied him, muttering as they walked: "She was afraid that my father would be sad, so she always waited until we arrived at Ji'an Martial Arts Academy during the day before she dared to sew your protective gear. My mother was also quite funny. She thought my father didn't know, but where in Huayun City doesn't my father's people live?" "Then won't Gu Jinheng be jealous?" Han Ruize asked.

"My father pretended not to know. How could he bear to say that to my mother? Don't I know what he was thinking? If he didn't let my mother do these things, she would feel guilty towards you. He couldn't bear to let her feel bad."

Gu Yuli is obviously a baby who has been spoiled by everyone, but he lives a very transparent life.

Han Ruize put his things into the closet. Then, a guard knocked on the door of the outer hall. "General, dinner is here. I've put it on the table for you."

"Okay." Han Ruize responded from a distance.

Gu Yuli looked at him expectantly: "Is there a share for me?"

Han Ruize smiled and nodded.

"Really?!" Gu Yuli jumped up excitedly, "How did you know I was coming today?"

Han Ruize closed the cabinet door and rubbed his head: "As soon as you set out in the morning, your mother sent me a pigeon message. She must have told me, otherwise what if you were in danger on the way?"

Gu Yuli followed Han Ruize back to the hall to prepare for dinner.

Gu Yuli asked tentatively, "After dinner, can you teach me the moves after the Tenth Style of Wanyue Blood Whip? Please, I really like your group attack whip of 'Fulong Shiyun'."

Although Gu Yuli looks similar to Gu Jinheng, from many angles, his personality is very similar to Pei Nai.

Han Ruize often couldn't refuse his requests.

"Let's do it tomorrow. It's too late today. You should have a good rest after dinner." Han Ruize said to him.

"Okay." Gu Yuli nodded excitedly.

Perhaps it was because Han Ruize promised to teach him new moves the next day, or perhaps it was because he drank a lot of tea, but Gu Yuli was so excited that he tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep that night.

When it was dawn, he jumped out of bed, put on his clothes, and slipped into Han Ruize's bedroom.

As soon as he entered, Han Ruize opened his eyes.

Han Ruize saw that it was him, and he was extremely helpless. He sighed, "Yu Li, aren't you going to sleep?"

"It's already daybreak." Gu Yuli looked at him with innocent eyes.

"It's still early, and the soldiers are resting. You can sleep a little longer." Han Ruize lay down inside, leaving space on the outside of the bed for him.

Gu Yuli had occasionally slept with him when he was a child, and now, unable to bear disturbing his rest, he obediently took off his shoes and lay down beside him.

Gu Yuli remained quiet, but unexpectedly, because he had not slept the whole night, he fell asleep without realizing it.

When I woke up again, Han Ruize was no longer by my side.

Gu Yuli put on his clothes, washed quickly, tied his hair up, and rushed out of the barracks holding his own special short whip.

"Master Yu Li, there was an urgent report this morning. General Han has called the generals to a meeting. He asked you to go to the barracks for morning exercises first." The guard at the door said to him.

Gu Yuli was not angry. He just said "hmm" and ran towards the new recruits' camp.

About an hour later, when he had just finished running and was standing at the back of the team doing martial arts exercises, Shao Linyu appeared beside him.

Shao Linyu is the eldest son of Shao Liran and Da Xi Shangle, half a year younger than Gu Yuli.

At this moment, his face was ashen, and he stood beside Gu Yuli angrily and joined the morning exercises.

He glared at Gu Yuli but said nothing.
