The strongman's wife who traveled through time and space and became a young general

During the conversation with Gu Anqing, Lin Qiuer discovered that this place was not from any dynasty she was familiar with in her previous life.

There are four countries in this world, namely Nanyue, Xiling, Beirong and Shangdong. Nanyue borders Xiling and Shangdong.

Fifteen years ago, a great war broke out between Nanyue and Xiling. The elite troops of both countries suffered heavy losses, and their national strength was greatly reduced. Later, Shangdong mediated, and the two countries finally reached a peace agreement. Since then, although there have been some minor frictions on the border between Nanyue and Xiling, there has never been another war.

Lin Qiuer is currently in a border town between the Nanyue Kingdom and the Xiling Kingdom.

Because of the dangerous and unpredictable Nalan Mountains as a natural barrier, no country's army has ever been willing to risk crossing this mountain range to attack the border town. Therefore, the military camp stationed here only needs to defend the plain area connected to the territory of Xiling State.

In the Nalan Mountains, there are many villages inhabited by ethnic minorities like Lin Qiuer. Their origins are no longer traceable. It is only known that there have been records about them since the founding of Nanyue State, and more than 500 years have passed since the founding of Nanyue State. The court does not know their exact number. Although the court has sent people to inquire, it has never obtained an accurate number.

These ethnic minorities believe in mountain gods, and rely mainly on witch doctors, assisted by village chiefs, to control birth, aging, illness and death in the village.

Hearing this, Lin Qiuer couldn't help but think that her original mother was a witch doctor, and she herself was a herbalist, which meant she was the designated candidate for the next generation of witch doctor in the village.

In ancient times, witch doctors were revered by the common people for their ability to communicate between life and death.

How can she continue to live in the village without being suspected when she has never been exposed to the concept of ghosts and gods and has never systematically studied medical skills?

"You are a member of the garrison." Lin Qiuer's tone seemed as if she was seeking confirmation from Gu Anqing, but in fact she had already confirmed it.

Although she had previously guessed that the killer who was hunting down Gu Anqing might be from the government or the army, from the information she had just received, she was more inclined to believe that he was a member of the border town garrison.

Gu Anqing was slightly surprised that Lin Qiuer could guess his identity so quickly, but he couldn't help but secretly praise her for her cleverness.

"Why don't you guess that I'm from the government?"

Lin Qiu'er smiled cunningly, stared at him and blinked, saying, "Because you are not only handsome, but also have great martial arts skills."

This straightforward compliment shocked the straight-forward Gu Anqing.

After the shock, heat rushed to my face and even my ears turned red.

Gu Anqing grew up in a border town. He started practicing martial arts with Uncle Wu, who had retired from the army, when he was still a child. After he had a solid foundation, his grandfather began to teach him Gu family spear and sword techniques. After finishing his daily martial arts practice, he would learn literacy and military training from the teacher sent by his mother from the capital.

In order to prevent him from indulging in women, he was only accompanied by male attendants such as Changqing since he was a child, and he rarely interacted with the opposite sex. Even if he met the opposite sex, he would strictly observe etiquette and politely nod from a distance before avoiding them.

When he was being chased this time, he initially mistakenly thought that Lin Qiuer was an accomplice of the killer who came to kill him. He was only thinking about how to keep himself from being in danger after being seriously injured, so he did not stay away from her as he did in the past.

Being praised so directly by a pretty girl like Lin Qiu'er, Gu Anqing's head was completely a mess, he was really inexperienced.

"Ahem, women should be more reserved when speaking." Gu Anqing calmed himself down and spoke after a long while.

"What does being reserved mean? Do you want me to continue to insist on it in the future?" Lin Qiuer clearly knew what Gu Anqing meant, but she deliberately misinterpreted it.

Gu Anqing knew that Lin Qiu'er did it on purpose, but he continued to explain patiently, "If you talk like this to other people, they will think you are frivolous and it will damage your reputation."

Lin Qiu'er understood that Gu Anqing was really worried that she would speak without restraint outside, which would damage the etiquette and customs here and affect her reputation. "Okay, then I will only praise you in the future, and not others. I am your savior, and I don't ask you to repay my kindness, just don't be like them."

On the surface, it was telling him not to ruin his own reputation, but implicitly it was reminding him that although they were not of the same nationality, he should not repay kindness with enmity.

"Don't worry, the men in my Gu family are very clear about gratitude and grudges." Gu Anqing understood the meaning of Lin Qiuer's words and promised solemnly.

For a moment, both of them were silent.

At this time, Changqing came back with the cleaned rabbit. Seeing that his young master had woken up, he was naturally very happy. He squeezed between the two of them, holding the rabbit meat that was still dripping with blood.

"Master, you are awake. Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Lin Qiuer saw the white rabbit meat, swallowed her saliva, and quickly reached out to lift Changqing's collar. "Everyone is awake, there is nothing to worry about. Go and roast the rabbit meat quickly, I am starving."

Chang Qing was suddenly grabbed by the collar and was about to fight back when he suddenly remembered that this person was his master's savior, and also a young girl with extraordinary powers.

He immediately gave in and begged for mercy, "Girl, please let me go first. I will grill the meat for you right away."

After hearing this, Lin Qiuer let go of Changqing's neck and watched him skillfully make a fire and roast the rabbit over the fire.

"Will it taste good if you just grill it like this? Did you bring any seasoning?"

Gu Anqing and Chang Qing were both confused by the question. They really didn't know much about the seasoning that Lin Qiuer mentioned.

Normally when I am at home, there are naturally people serving me. If I camp outside, I only eat barbecue, and I have never heard of any seasonings.

Seeing the expressions of the two people, Lin Qiuer understood. She sighed, stood up and said, "I'll go look around to see if there are any seasonings. How can you guys eat meat without seasonings?"

After saying that, she disappeared into the bushes in two or three steps, leaving Gu Anqing and Chang Qing looking at each other in bewilderment. They felt that they were despised by Lin Qiuer.

Not long after Lin Qiuer left, a rustling sound was heard in the grass.

Gu Anqing and Chang Qing thought it was Lin Qiuer who came back, so they didn't move.

"Qiu'er, we're lucky today. Fourth brother caught a lot of prey."

Lin Nanyue walked out of the bushes, holding several prey in her hands, including rabbits, pheasants, and an adult male deer on her shoulders.

He was so happy to share today's harvest with his younger sister that he didn't notice that she was not there.

Gu Anqing already knew from what Lin Nanyue had just said that this person was Lin Qiuer's brother.

Chang Qing, who was sitting by the fire, was also very familiar with Lin Nanyue. You know, when he found that the young master was unconscious and being held by Lin Nanyue, he followed behind and looked at the brother and sister from head to toe several times.

Hearing no response from behind, Lin Nanyue turned around and looked at the two of them.

This was shocking. Lin Nanyue discovered that her little sister was missing. "Where's Qiu'er? What did you do to Qiu'er?"

Lin Nanyue threw the hare and pheasant in her hand towards Changqing, and rushed over with the deer on her shoulder. Changqing was caught off guard and was hit by the hare and pheasant. He rolled his eyes and fainted.

It was too late for Gu Anqing to speak up and stop them. He gritted his teeth and explained, "Brother Lin, Miss Lin just left to find seasoning for the barbecue. We didn't hurt her."

Although he and Changqing did not harm Lin Qiuer, the two parties were strangers to each other, so it was reasonable for Lin Nanyue to be suspicious.

"Who knows if you guys might have bad intentions towards my little sister."

Gu Anqing was speechless for a moment, and said with gritted teeth, "How about you wait here, Brother Lin? I am injured and I definitely can't do anything bad to you, and my follower was also knocked unconscious by you."

Lin Nanyue still remained skeptical of Gu Anqing's character, "If you do anything to my little sister, believe it or not, I can kill you in two or three strokes."

After saying that, he looked Gu Anqing up and down as if he was looking at a dead person.

Although Gu An knew that he was being looked down upon, he said helplessly, "Then Brother Lin, please trust me for once."

After hearing this, Lin Nanyue also felt that it made sense, "Then I'll believe you this time." If it is really as he said, and my younger sister is just going to find seasoning, that would be the best.

He walked to the fire, grabbed Changqing and threw him next to Gu Anqing, "It's in the way!" Then he sat down next to the fire and began to remove the fur of his prey.

Chang Qing was awakened by his throw. He opened his eyes and immediately jumped up, wanting to rush up to settle the score with him!

But he was stopped by Gu Anqing, "Changqing! Stop! This is the brother who saved your young master!"

After hearing what the young master said, Changqing retreated, but he still felt wronged!

He had never suffered such humiliation since he was a child! But the man in front of him was the elder brother of the benefactor who saved his young master.
