So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place

"Not who?" Xiao Yueshan blinked and decided to play dumb.

Pei Ji shook his head, looked at his beloved's face carefully, and then slowly withdrew his hand and said, "It's nothing, I'm sorry for offending my sister."

"My sister has changed a lot after marrying Lord Zhou. She is like two different people. I was a little dazed for a moment..." There was no emotion in Pei Ji's words.

"Master Zhou, is he... treating you well?" He struggled for a long time, but couldn't help asking.

Xiao Yueshan felt a little sad for Pei Ji. She didn't know what the original owner's feelings were for him, so naturally she couldn't rashly show any heartache or hesitation, so she chose to remain silent.

"Looking at my sister's appearance, I think she is naturally fine." Pei Ji said to himself, "Then I feel relieved."

Xiao Yueshan didn't want to have a fruitless love affair with him. "General, please be careful during this expedition to Wuge. Wuge is not stable internally, and the generals going out to fight may not be of the same mind."

Pei Ji was still immersed in yesterday's dream. Suddenly, he heard the woman in front of him change the topic to state affairs. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but smile, "Sister, why are you so concerned about state affairs now?"

"My family, my country and the world. If the country is not at peace, the people will be uneasy. Naturally, I am concerned." Xiao Yueshan replied calmly.

"Sister, you are so well-informed. Yes, Great Khan Uge is old and weak, and the son born to his queen died young. Now his sons are fighting for the throne. This expedition was instigated by the third prince Sutun Anda in order to seize the throne and win credit."

Xiao Yueshan's heart moved. As she expected, it seemed that there were more hidden secrets behind this war. She lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then asked from behind the curtain, "Seizing the throne and competing for merit may not be what you want. The Zhao Dynasty is not easy to mess with. Maybe it was the instigation of other princes in the Wuge Dynasty who instigated Sutun Anda to take the risk of going to war. General, have you ever thought about using the contradictions within Wuge to disintegrate their offensive?"

Pei Ji was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "Sister is really smart, this plan is very good. If we can provoke internal fighting among the various forces in Wuge, our army can reap the benefits."

Xiao Yueshan raised a smile, "But this is just my personal opinion. General, this still requires careful planning and long-term consideration."

At this time, Zhou Yao also arrived at Linfeng Pavilion panting. In order to buy time for their master, Pei Ji's confidants reported the news slowly and led the way in a roundabout way. Zhou Yao was so anxious that he untied the carriage harness, jumped on the horse and galloped all the way, completely losing his image.

Xiao Yueshan looked at his unfriendly expression and before he could get angry, she told him everything she had just discussed with Pei Ji about the battle.

Zhou Yao was still trying to calm down the discomfort and jealousy from the bumpy ride. This was really hard riding a horse. He was almost vomiting from the bumpy ride, and he hadn't even taken a break in the middle of the ride since he was in such a hurry to get in. Now, in front of his "rival" Pei Ji, no matter how upset he was, he had to remain calm and not let this capable and brave general laugh at him.

"Lord Zhou doesn't seem to be good at riding horses?" Pei Ji smiled frivolously and brought up something that was irrelevant.

Zhou Yao blushed, and Xiao Yueshan quickly tried to smooth things over, "Today at the blessing meeting of the Princess of Jin, the Princess said that the Prince wanted to send you to Jianzhou together. The battlefield is tough, so I thought you could meet with General Pei first so that we can look after each other."

"If we go to war, Lord Zhou must practice riding and archery well. Wuge has strong soldiers and horses and is very good at riding and archery. The marching speed will be fast. If you can't keep up, you will suffer even more." Pei Ji reminded.

"I want to go to Jianzhou too?" Zhou Yao was surprised. He wanted to ask me what I could do there, but he couldn't ask in front of Pei Ji.

"Thank you, Lord Pei, for reminding me. I need to learn this lesson well." Although he regarded Pei Ji as an "imaginary rival in love", he was not a petty person. Pei Ji had the talent of a general, and this suggestion was very pertinent, so he listened to it. Moreover, if he went to Jianzhou, he might even make meritorious deeds, so he would not be afraid of his wife being coveted by others.

"There are still a few days before the army sets out. If Brother Zhou wants to practice horse riding, you can find me at the Jingwei camp. I will personally send someone to teach you." Pei Ji said very sincerely.

"Then it's settled." Xiao Yueshan saw that the two were still rational. Now was not the time to be angry. Pei Ji had been learning martial arts since he was young. If Zhou Yao wanted to quickly master horse riding and archery, it would definitely be most useful for him to learn from him. So he decided, "Let's go back and prepare well. We will come to learn from the general tomorrow."

Zhou Yao nodded and looked at Pei Ji: "Then I'll rely on General Pei."

"We all serve the court. Lord Zhou, you are too polite." Pei Ji bowed in return.

Since Zhou Yao had already arrived, Xiao Yueshan was not going to meet a man outside her family in private. Seeing that the two of them were getting along well, she took off her veil and prepared to have a good meal with Pei Ji.

The Jinque Tower is luxurious and the Linfeng Pavilion is elegant, each with its own characteristics. The dishes are also very unique. Pei Ji did not hesitate to order many special dishes, which made it even more sumptuous.

In fact, putting aside their romantic feelings, the three of them all have free and easy personalities and can get along well with each other.

Pei Ji told many stories about his battles in Gufan Prefecture, and asked many questions based on the rumors he had heard about Zhou Yao. There was laughter and joy throughout the meal.

After eating and drinking, Xiao Yueshan and Zhou Yao stood up and said goodbye to Pei Ji.

"Sister..." Pei Ji hesitated to speak.

"General, please just say what you want to say." Xiao Yueshan looked up and looked into his eyes.

Pei Ji took a deep breath, as if he had made a great decision: "After this farewell, I don't know when we will meet again. If I can return safely, can you... enjoy the lanterns with me again?"

Xiao Yueshan was shocked. She didn't expect Pei Ji to make such a request in front of Zhou Yao. She looked at his affectionate eyes and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

After a long silence, she finally spoke softly: "Take care, General. When you return victorious, I will personally welcome you and your husband."

Pei Ji showed a gratified smile on his face: "In this way, I am satisfied. Although my sister has changed a lot since returning to Beijing this time, she is smarter and more clever than before, which is surprising."

"Brother Zhou, I am very happy to meet you this time. Although I have admired my sister, I will never overstep the line. It's just that I fell in love with you when I was young and I can never forget it. I hope Brother Zhou can understand." Pei Ji bowed deeply.

Zhou Yao's face was of course filled with red, orange, yellow and green, which was very interesting. I finally treated you as a friend, and you said you liked my wife and asked me to be magnanimous. That's not possible.

Pei Ji got on his horse and left, leaving the couple looking at each other in bewilderment.

Zhou Yao silently helped Xiao Yueshan into the carriage.

After the two of them sat down, Xiao Yueshan smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't expect that you and Pei Ji would be able to have such a pleasant conversation."

"After all, it's all about winning the battle. He is indeed very capable." Zhou Yao responded, "And he has great taste..." He looked at her meaningfully and said.

"Hehe," Xiao Yueshan laughed awkwardly, "Of course, how can someone who likes me be a bad person?" She tried to get away with it by making jokes.

"I hope he can perform well on the battlefield." Zhou Yao said, secretly looking forward to it in his heart. He also wanted to prove his ability. Although he did not practice martial arts since childhood like the ancient Pei Ji, he also had his pride.
