Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three years, the Longteng army recruited new soldiers every six months. The recruits were not asked about their backgrounds, and were only judged on their abilities and strengths.

Among these people were orphans, refugees, or civilians persecuted by the powerful. Under the rigorous training of the Longteng Army, they gradually grew into a force that could not be ignored.

They are basically stationed in sparsely populated mountain forests, taking the mountains and forests as their home, silently guarding the peace of Longteng Kingdom, and waiting to set off again.

At the same time, Lin Qiuer used the influence of knowledgeable people such as Xing Hui to attract aspiring people from the other three countries.

With their arrival, education was promoted in Nanyue Country so that children could learn knowledge. Even if they became parents, as long as they still wanted to learn, they could learn reading and arithmetic from ordinary students at night.

After the domestic war situation in Nanyue State stabilized, caravans were organized to travel around the country to do business. They could not only sell domestic goods, but also look for high-yield plants to bring back to the country to expand cultivation.

Xiao'er and Xing Hui have been teaching under Lin Qiu'er's arrangement in the past few years.

However, the teaching location became larger and larger as Lin Qiuer and his group conquered more and more territory, from the Nalan Mountains in Lingao to Youzhou Prefecture, Shouchang Prefecture, the Imperial City, and finally to Yunyang Prefecture and Quan'an Prefecture.

Although she was the imperial teacher of a country, Lin Qiu'er still did not put on airs. This day she called Xiao'er to have a deep talk with him.

"Ms. Lin, why would you take such a risk to help me?" Xiao'er came back to his senses and asked.

Lin Qiu'er smiled slightly, her eyes deep, "Xiao'er, things in this world are often not black and white.

Although I am a woman, I also know the truth that 'the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of every man'.

What's more, I saved you to save countless innocent people in this world."

When Xiao'er heard this, a warm feeling surged in his heart. He seemed to see the hope of one world as one family that his master had talked about in the person in front of him.

Early the next morning, Xiao'er and Xing Hui led a group of people to leave the imperial city and head towards Dongling State.

Unlike six years ago when he fled from Dongling Kingdom in a hurry, this time he has the support of Longteng Kingdom and the omnipotent Nalan witch doctor.

He had no ambition to ascend the throne of Dongling.

I just want to seek justice for my mother and kill all those who harmed her.

In the Gu Mansion garden, Lin Qiuer was planting a rare medicinal herb and watering it when she heard a childish cry coming from afar.

"Mom, where are you? We are here..." A little girl's tender and clear voice.

Following closely behind was the voice of a boy who could only speak in reduplications, "My Lady, My Lady... Come here..."

"Young Miss, Young Master, let me carry you and walk with you," Lotus said helplessly.

These two little guys, with small stature but big hearts, just want to run and walk on their own and don't care about Lotus' arms at all.

This made He Hua, who claimed to be the most caring person around the young lady, feel frustrated.

Lin Qiuer stood up, put the shovel in her hand aside, walked to the washbasin in the corridor to wash the mud off her hands, and then stood there waiting for her two children to come over.

As soon as the little girl saw Lin Qiuer, a bright smile bloomed on her face, and she rushed towards her, crying, "Mother, mother, Tongtong is here~"

Lin Qiu'er caught her daughter in one hand and held her in her arms. She kissed her on the face and then asked, "What did you do just now? Did you do anything bad?"

The one-year-old boy behind her saw that his sister had pounced on her mother, and he became extremely anxious. He ran faster, but suddenly tripped and fell to the ground with a loud bang.

"Ah~ Little master, what happened to you? Are you hurt?" He Hua ran up hurriedly, picked up the boy, and checked him with a worried look to see if he was injured.

"Hehua, don't make a fuss. He's dressed like a dumpling, how could he have fallen? I'm afraid his skin isn't even a little red." Lin Qiu'er really couldn't bear to see Hehua acting like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

Lotus looked at Lin Qiu'er disapprovingly, then lowered her head to brush off the dust on the boy's body, "The young master is only one and a half years old. At such a young age, every family in the imperial city carries a child of that age."

"My child is different from other children." Lin Qiu'er said and waved to the boy, "Yangyang, come here by yourself."

When the boy heard this, he immediately broke free from He Hua's hand and ran towards Lin Qiu'er, with saliva flowing uncontrollably from his mouth.

Lotus sighed, as expected, the young lady's child is different from other children.

Whose one and a half year old child can run so smoothly and with so much strength?

Lin Qiu'er stretched out her other hand, lifted the boy easily, and held him in her arms. She kissed him and asked, "How many bowls of rice did you eat this morning?"

The boy twisted his body in Lin Qiuer's arms, put his face against hers, and kissed her back.

Hearing Lin Qiuer's question, he raised both hands and raised a finger on one hand.

"Two bowls? Really?" Lin Qiu'er glanced at Lotus Flower, and when she saw Lotus Flower nod, she bowed her head and praised, "That's amazing. Our Yangyang can even eat two bowls of rice."

"Mom, I ate four bowls. Is that awesome?" Tongtong straightened Lin Qiuer's face and asked cutely with blinking eyes.

Lin Qiu'er saw that her overbearing daughter was vying for favor again, so she didn't show favoritism and praised, "How amazing!"

As expected, Tongtong laughed out loud upon hearing the compliment, "Hahaha..."

“Hahaha…” Yangyang didn’t understand what was going on, but when she saw her sister laughing, she also laughed happily.

Lin Qiuer carried her children back to the yard, put them aside to play with building blocks, and went to take a shower and change her clothes. When she came out, she saw Gu Anqing sitting on a chair with the two children crawling all over him.

Gu Anqing himself was very calm and could even drink tea and read books.

Shaking her head, Lin Qiu'er walked over to sit beside him and asked, "Why did you come back so early today?"

"Yesterday I promised Tongtong and Yangyang to take them out for dinner. I finished my work early and came back early."

After Gu Anqing finished speaking, he saw Tongtong looking at him in surprise, and then looked at Lin Qiuer eagerly, "Mother, let's go out and eat."

Yangyang didn't understand what he said yet, he just heard "get out", and immediately pointed to the door and jumped on his father, "get out...get out...get out..."

Lin Qiu'er was not a spoiler parent. Seeing that both children wanted to go out, and Gu Anqing had come back early, she nodded and said, "Okay, okay, let's go out to eat."

"Ahh! Mother is so nice!" Tongtong shouted happily. Then, seeing the way her father was staring at her, she said with a flattering expression, "Dad is the best."

She gave me a sweet kiss and twisted her body to act coquettishly.

Gu Anqing simply couldn't stand his daughter who had a face like a mini version of Lin Qiuer and acted coquettishly and coquettishly to him, but she was soon coaxed into submission.

Seeing this, Lin Qiu'er sighed again, stood up and clapped her hands, "Since you are going out, why don't you change into nice clothes?"

Tongtong immediately abandoned his beloved father, slid down to the ground, and ran to find Hehua to change clothes.

Once she left, Yangyang would not stay any longer. He followed her and shouted, "Sister, wait..."
