After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

In the lively atmosphere of the campfire food, Shen Qingsong walked slowly with steady steps.

He had an upright posture and a dignified face. Although he had taken off his armor, his battle-hardened temperament could not be concealed.

The soldiers along the way greeted him warmly, their eyes full of admiration and affection. He was obviously a general who won the hearts of the soldiers.

He smiled and asked everyone: "Brothers, do you like the food tonight?"

Hearing this, the soldiers put down their chopsticks, looked up at this young but very capable and resourceful general with smiles in their eyes.

"General, the meal is so sumptuous! We are very satisfied with the meal! Thank you, Master Shen, for your generosity!" A soldier answered loudly, causing laughter and applause from the surroundings.

Shen Qingsong smiled and nodded, and continued: "That's good, you have worked hard, it's not easy to defend the city, of course you have to eat and drink enough to have strength, if it tastes good, eat more, don't be polite to her!"

"Hahaha, since General Shen has spoken, we won't be polite. Let's all eat to our heart's content! Hahaha" a soldier shouted with a laugh.

"Eat everyone, eat to your heart's content!" Shen Qingqing waved her hand and responded with a smile.

Amidst the laughter and joy, Shen Qingsong said softly to Shen Qingqing: "Qingqing, thank you for your hard work."

His eyes were full of tenderness and care as he looked at Shen Qingqing.

Shen Qingqing looked up at her brother, a sparkle in her eyes. She looked Shen Qingsong up and down carefully for a moment, then took two steps forward and hugged Xu Qingsong. Shen Qingsong's eyes also sparkled, and he raised his hand to hug her back.

The two hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to integrate all the thoughts and concerns during this period into this hug.

After a while, Shen Qingsong pulled Shen Qingqing aside, and the two found a relatively quiet place to reminisce.

Shen Qingqing excitedly recounted her experiences during this period, including how she fought side by side with the rebels, how she suppressed bandits, and how she entered Kyoto.

Shen Qingsong listened quietly, sometimes nodding in agreement, sometimes showing a gratified smile.

As the topic changed, Shen Qingqing suddenly remembered something, pulled Xiao Yuheng, who was standing quietly beside him, walked to Shen Qingsong, and introduced him with a smile: "Brother, this is Xiao Yuheng, your future brother-in-law."

The moment Shen Qingsong heard his younger sister say that Xiao Yuheng was her future brother-in-law, complex emotions suddenly surged in his heart, and the look he gave Xiao Yuheng changed from admiration to a hint of annoyance.

An indescribable subtle feeling emerged in my heart, as if the treasure I had treasured for many years was suddenly held carefully in the palm of another person's hand.

He knew his younger sister's temperament and talent. The man who could make her fall in love with him must have outstanding qualities. Judging from the way they get along, they must be happy and sweet. Otherwise, his resolute younger sister would not have such gentle eyes when she looked at him, as if they were wrapped in sugar.

Then, a faint feeling of jealousy quietly arose.

As the eldest brother, he has always claimed to be the strongest support for his younger sister, both in life and emotionally. Now, seeing that his sister has found her home, although he is happy for her, he can't help feeling a little lost, as if the territory he has guarded for many years has been quietly occupied by an "outsider".

However, this emotion was quickly replaced by reason.

He began to examine Xiao Yuheng carefully, his eyes instantly fell on Xiao Yuheng, looking him up and down.

He had to admit that Xiao Yuheng was indeed a handsome young man with outstanding temperament, but the degree of his match with his sister made him feel a little "heartbroken" - he did not expect that his beloved sister would eventually be "kidnapped" by this young man.

When he saw Xiao Yuheng's firm yet gentle eyes, and his attentiveness and consideration towards Xu Qingqing, the slight doubts in his heart gradually dissipated.

After all, Shen Qingsong was a man who had seen many storms, so he quickly adjusted his mentality.

He smiled and nodded to Xiao Yuheng, patted Xiao Yuheng's shoulder gently, and said in a serious yet gentle tone: "Qingqing is in your hands now, you must treat her well."

This sentence is not only an advice to Xiao Yuheng, but also his deep love and blessing for his sister as an older brother.

Then he turned to Shen Qingqing and said, "Qingqing, you have grown up and have your own choices. As long as you feel happy, I will support you."

Shen Qingqing heard this and smiled happily at her elder brother.

Xiao Yuheng also felt Shen Qingsong's recognition and acceptance. He bowed to Shen Qingsong solemnly and said, "Don't worry, brother. I will take good care of Qingqing and will not let her suffer any grievances."

The corners of Shen Qingsong's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this. This brother-in-law really knew how to take advantage of the situation to climb up the social ladder. He started calling him "big brother" before he even got married.

Thinking of this, he nodded at Xiao Yuheng, his eyes fierce: "Well, you must do what you say. If I find out that Qingqing has been wronged by you, I don't know what she will do, but she will definitely hunt you down to the end, even if it means you have to go to the ends of the earth."

Xiao Yuheng didn't feel threatened, but nodded thoughtfully: "Big brother, you're right."

Hearing this, Shen Qingsong felt like he had punched cotton and curled his lips: "Well, it's good that you know it."

Shen Qingqing found it fun and happy watching from the side.

Next, Shen Qingqing introduced many people in the team to Shen Qingsong, including Bao Bao, Li Xian, and Lu Zhenting, so that everyone could get to know each other.

Shen Qingsong showed great enthusiasm to Lu Zhenting and his group: "Thank you General Lu for coming in time this time, otherwise we would have suffered more casualties and might not be able to defend the northern border. Thank you General Lu."

After saying that, he bowed deeply to Lu Zhenting.

Lu Zhenting raised his hand to stop him: "Why do you have to do this? This is what I should do. Besides, my life and the lives of my entire family were saved by Sect Master Xu. If I really count it, I will never be able to repay his kindness in my lifetime."

The two of them were attracted to each other, and they spent the rest of the time toasting each other, looking very happy.

The baby kept following Shen Qingqing, talking about everything, eating and drinking with Shen Qingqing all the way, and was very happy.

In the evening, Shen Qingqing followed Li Xian to check on the injuries of the injured soldiers.

When the curtain was lifted, I saw a lot of wounded people lying inside. Some were wrapped in bandages, some looked pale, but their eyes were determined.

Li Xian immediately stepped forward and checked the injuries of each wounded soldier one by one, asking them how they felt while carefully observing the condition of their wounds.

Shen Qingqing listened carefully and helped Li Xian deliver medicinal herbs or instruments such as silver needles.
