Inside the camp, the originally quiet and orderly atmosphere was instantly broken, only because of an exciting news - Ouyang Miaoling is back!

After hearing the news, the sisters in the medical team rushed out like arrows from a bow, their faces filled with smiles of joy and expectation.

"Dr. Ling, you are finally back!" one of the sisters shouted excitedly.

"Yes, Doctor Ling, are you okay on the journey? Are you injured or encountering any danger?" another sister asked with concern.

Then someone else spoke up impatiently: "Doctor Ling, I heard that you not only returned safely this time, but also brought back a large amount of food and grass. That's amazing! How did you do it?"

Faced with the overwhelming greetings and compliments from the sisters, Ouyang Miaoling felt a little overwhelmed.

At this moment, she was exhausted both physically and mentally, and the only thing she wanted was to find a comfortable corner and have a good sleep.

As for other things, they can only be dealt with after she recovers her energy.

However, facing the enthusiastic sisters, Ouyang Miaoling couldn't just reject their kindness.

So, she forced herself to cheer up, and while perfunctorily responding to the various questions raised by everyone, she quietly reached out and pulled Xiaoyun beside her in front of her, letting Xiaoyun act as a shield temporarily.

Xiaoyun looked confused, but she quickly understood Ouyang Miaoling's intention. She took a deep breath, mustered up her courage and stood in front of everyone to answer everyone's questions on behalf of Ouyang Miaoling.

"Dear sisters, the master is really tired and needs a good rest. If you have anything else you want to ask, you can tell me first, and I will pass it on to her when the master wakes up." Xiaoyun said loudly.

After hearing Xiaoyun's words, the sisters showed understanding expressions and expressed their willingness to wait for Ouyang Miaoling to wake up before communicating with her.

Afterwards, everyone stopped bothering Ouyang Miaoling and instead gathered around Xiaoyun, continuing to ask questions at once.

Ouyang Miaoling took the opportunity to sneak away and walked towards her tent, ready to enjoy the rare quiet time and fall into a sweet dream.

Guimei led the team and ran back and forth dozens of times before they transported all the food and fodder to the camp. When everyone saw the two tents piled high with food and fodder, they felt safe.

Gui Mei was also very happy when he saw the food and grass. He ordered his deputy general beside him, "Send two teams of soldiers to protect the food and grass. They should patrol around the food and grass day and night to prevent the enemy from sending people to steal the food and grass!"

"Yes"

The deputy general beside him took the order and retreated. He wanted to find Ouyang Miaoling to thank her in person, but was stopped outside the tent by Xiaoyun.

"Commander, I advise you to wait a little longer. The master is too tired and hasn't woken up yet. It won't be too late to talk to him after he wakes up." Xiao Yun refused to give in and stopped Guimei.

The ghost had no choice but to retreat back to the training ground and continue training his troops.

The sun set, and it was not until the evening that Ouyang Miaoling woke up in a daze.

"Xiao Yun," she whispered softly, as if calling Xiao Yun in her sleep.

Xiaoyun was like a loyal sculpture, standing quietly at the door of the tent, like a guard protecting a precious treasure.

When he heard a slight noise coming from inside, he rushed into the tent as fast as an arrow, lit the candle in the tent, and dispelled the darkness in an instant.

Ouyang Miaoling also woke up from her daze as if she had just woken up from a dream.

She slowly stood up, looked at Xiaoyun, and asked softly, "What time is it now?" Xiaoyun looked outside and guessed thoughtfully, "Master, it's probably the hour of the dog."

When Ouyang Miaoling heard the time Xiaoyun said, she couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Oh my... I actually slept for a whole day!"

"Yes... Master, seeing you were sleeping so soundly, I didn't have the heart to wake you up for meal. Are you feeling hungry now?" Xiaoyun asked with concern.

After Xiaoyun's reminder, Ouyang Miaoling suddenly woke up from her dream. She remembered that she had not eaten for a day and a night, and her stomach was really singing the "empty city plan".

So, she said, "Xiao Yun, go get me something to eat. I'm really hungry."

"Okay," Xiaoyun smiled happily, and like a gust of happy wind, he ran out quickly to get food.

Ouyang Miaoling stood up and walked down from the bed. Xiaoyun had already prepared water for her to wash her face. She wiped her face casually and waited quietly for Xiaoyun to return with the food.

However, after a moment, she did not see Xiaoyun, but a ghost.

"Master... you finally woke up, Gui Mei greets you." Gui Mei bowed and clasped his hands together, like a subject greeting his monarch. Seeing this, Ouyang Miaoling stepped forward and supported Gui Mei, saying, "Ghost, it's so late, you haven't rested yet, is there anything important?"

Guimei stood up and said calmly: "Princess, there's actually nothing to say. I just want to thank you on behalf of more than a thousand soldiers. If you hadn't brought back food and grass in time, I'm afraid these people would have starved to death in the mountains." Guimei bowed again to express his gratitude.

Ouyang Miaoling couldn't bear to see him being so polite, so she looked at Guimei and said, "Guimei, you followed me for many years before, and then because of some changes, you have been in the Regent Palace, but I believe you still remember my temper. I hate this kind of red tape the most. I would like to ask you to be the same as before. We are comrades fighting together and good partners in pursuing careers together."

Her sincere and affectionate words were like a ray of warm sunshine that shone straight into the ghost's heart, making the ghost's eyes moist instantly, and tears almost flowed uncontrollably like a broken dam.

He had always been a little worried, worried that his master would change after years of changes and vicissitudes. However, at this moment, he suddenly realized that the master he had been thinking about was still the same as before, without any change.

Ouyang Miaoling saw that she had finished speaking, but the ghost had not responded yet, and she couldn't help feeling anxious.

She was worried that the ghost might not fully understand the meaning of her words, leading to unnecessary misunderstandings.

So she took light steps and walked slowly forward, intending to explain to the ghost in person the true meaning of what she had just said.

But what was unexpected was that just before Ouyang Miaoling opened her mouth, the ghost spoke first.

He said with a slightly trembling voice: "Thank you, Master! You still trust me so much and treat me like one of your own. Please rest assured, Master, I, Gui Mei, will never forget the rules you set, even at the last moment of my life. From now on, we will still be like before, close comrades fighting side by side, and the best partners with tacit cooperation."

After hearing Gui Mei's heartfelt words, Ouyang Miaoling's heart finally settled down.

It was not until this moment that she realized that the ghost remained silent not because it was confused or dissatisfied with her words, but because it was deeply moved.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Miaoling couldn't help but smile with relief on her face.

Then, she stretched out her fair and slender hand without hesitation, and shook hands with the ghost as she had done countless times before. The clear and loud applause echoed in the air, as if symbolizing the indestructible friendship between them, which would never fade with the passage of time.
