Madam General, please run slower.

Chapter 58 Born in adversity, raised in adversity

I don't know if it's because Li was in a good mood after drinking today, or for some other reason, but it's rare that I can chat with Yu Xun calmly tonight. Of course, Yu Xun was the one asking most of the questions, while Li was the one making them up, but at least I didn't tease him anymore.

Yu Xun felt a little uncomfortable with this kind of Li. She spoke so gently, as if she had become a different person, but it was indeed her.

Yu Xun called out in a low voice: "Qu Tangli."

"?" Li turned to look at him in confusion. This was the first time Yu Xun called her like that.

"Do you have any other name?" When Yu Xun asked this question, he didn't turn to look at her, but stared at the stars above his head, wondering what he was thinking.

"Yes, the stone lion called me Ali, so it can be considered a name."

"You know that's not what I meant." Yu Xun pursed his lips tightly. He knew that this man was playing dumb again.

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, with only the sound of the cold wind, which made the atmosphere between the two people freeze a little. Just when Yu Xun thought she would not answer, a soft "yes" came from beside him.

Yu Xun turned his head and saw that the person who was lying comfortably had sat up at some point. He imitated his posture and leaned on the grass to look at the stars.

"Li. The Li in 'the catastrophe is dark and the dust is dark, the clothes and hats are in pain'1."

"Just one word?" Yu Xun snorted, obviously not believing her. "Li means unfortunate. Why don't you make up a new one?"

"Look, I was born in misfortune and grew up in misfortune. I can also bring misfortune to others. How appropriate it is to be named after the word 'Mi'."

"Yes, yes, it's very suitable." Yu Xun stopped arguing with her and casually picked up the wine pot beside him and took a sip. It was not until the wine went into his throat that he realized that the wine pot in his hand was the same one that Li Gang drank from, and it was the kind that you drink from your mouth.

Yu Xun realized what he had done and started coughing. Li looked over in confusion and saw that the man was coughing even more severely. Yu Xun's cheeks were flushed, and he didn't know whether it was because of the choking or the embarrassment.

"Can you choke while talking? Drink something to calm down." Li advised kindly.

But Yu Xun felt that this person did it on purpose. The calmness and gentleness just now were all an illusion. The bad look now was the real her.

Heaven and earth can bear witness that Li truly meant well, yet he was actually met with the cold shoulder from Yu Xun.

It took Yu Xun a long time to suppress the psychological abnormality and then talked about the situation in the palace.

"Two days ago, the secret guards in the palace sent a secret letter saying that His Majesty has not been in good health these days and has left court early every time. It seems that the Crown Prince started to take action not long after I left."

"It seems that the prince was the one who instigated your early departure." But why is he in such a hurry? Is the prince so anxious to die that he can't even wait for half a month?

"That's what I thought, too. I heard that His Majesty knew that you were in poor health and went to the temple to pray for blessings. He also planned to send someone to visit you under the pretext of visiting you. But the plan to send someone was later dropped. I guess your health was not good enough to take care of you."

"Very good." Seeing this man talking about the prince's rebellion with an indifferent attitude, Li couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you worried about the prince's rebellion?"

"Why should I panic?"

"The prince came to my Yueting Palace that day, obviously aiming to win you over. Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, you are his main focus. In these troubled times, if you remain neutral and don't take sides, I'm afraid you will have a hard time."

"I, Yu Xun, and even the entire Yu Family Army, are guarding the peace of this warm land; we are loyal to the well-being of hundreds of millions of people! I don't care who sits in that position at all."

Yu Xun's words were like a drop of gold and stone, each word was of great weight. His voice was full of determination and perseverance, as if no force could shake his faith. The passion and self-confidence of a young general were clearly revealed in Yu Xun.

Although Li silently complained in his heart that "you are still too young", but the atmosphere had come to this point and he had to say, "General, you are righteous! I toast to you."

After saying this, Li was about to take the wine jug next to him.

Yu Xun was so frightened when he saw her actions that he put the wine jug directly into his arms, "I appreciate your kindness, but you drank too much tonight, you can't drink anymore."

Li sighed. She was already old and still needed to be controlled when drinking. "Okay, it's getting late. I'll go back to the inn and rest first."

Yu Xun was slightly relieved when he saw Li leave. He was afraid that she would do something outrageous to trick him into giving her alcohol. Looking at the people lying on the ground, Yu Xun felt a headache.

Yu Xun was responsible for helping Wu Huang back to the camp, and Shi Yaojue was handed over to Wei Wu and the others. Fortunately, Wei Wu and Wei Shiliu did not drink too much because of their status, and they sobered up a lot after being blown by the cold wind for a while. The two of them cooperated to help the already asleep Shi Yaojue back to the inn. They staggered along the way, but they were safe.

After playing all night, everyone got up late tacitly.

When Yu Xun got up, the Yu family army was already training. A young general saw Yu Xun coming out and hurried forward to report, "General, there is a man outside the camp who claims to be a servant of the Shishizi and is looking for you."

Yao Jue's servant, Wei Shiliu? Could it be that there was something he couldn't report last night, so he came here this morning?

"Where is Wu Huang?"

"Reporting to the general, the deputy general has not yet gotten up."

"Got it. Go and bring the people in." Yu Xun rubbed his brows. He was too indulgent last night.

Soon, the young general arrived with his men.

When Yu Xun saw that it was Li, he was stunned for a moment. He waved his hand to let the young general retreat before asking, "Why are you here?"

"The prince had a hangover last night, and he kept complaining about a headache after waking up this morning. He wants to rest for one more day in the inn. He will not follow the army tomorrow when they move out of camp, so he specially called me to inform the general."

Yu Xun was very uncomfortable with her way of speaking. He glanced at the guard outside the tent and had to cooperate with her words and continued: "Okay, I understand. Does Yao Jue have anything else to tell you?"

"The prince has prepared a gift for the general's trip." Li said as he took off the cloak hanging beside him.

"Oh, bring it here for this general to see." Yu Xun looked at her actions in confusion.

"Yes." Li took out the gray fox hair from her long sleeves. It was the one she had spent most of the day yesterday.

Li spread the cloak flat on the table, confirmed the position of the fox fur, and then lingered with spiritual power on his hands. The dark spiritual power was like black needle and thread, entwining the junction of the fur and the cloak, and soon a warm cloak was completed.

It was also the first time that Yu Xun saw spiritual power being used in this way. He took the cloak and stroked it repeatedly with curiosity, "What is this?"

"The prince asked me to bring a message to the general, wishing the general a successful journey and frequent good news."

"I accept the gift. Please convey my gratitude to your master for me."

Li bowed slightly and took her leave. She maintained the role of a maid from beginning to end. Her words and actions were flawless and there was nothing to fault with her.

Yu Xun hung the cloak back to its original position, and kept telling himself to be careful, just in case the monster did something to the cloak. But thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible, how could she be so stupid as to do something to it in front of him. But what if, what if she was so powerful that she did something to it in front of him and he couldn't see it.

Oh, it's so annoying. Why did this monster suddenly think of giving me a gift?
