A Zhao stopped. He did have such a wooden plaque on his body. It was because of the word "Zhao" on it that Jiang Nianwei called him A Zhao.

Seeing that he seemed to be interested, Zheng Changkong struck while the iron was hot and continued, "This is your highness's personal belongings."

This does make sense. Could he really be the Prince Yu that these people are talking about?

Baili Zhao opened his thin lips and murmured as if in another world, "My name is Baili Zhao?"

"Yes, you are the invincible god of war of the Great Sheng Kingdom, and this is the mask you wear on the battlefield."

Zheng Changkong took out a ferocious animal face mask, which was completely different from A Zhao's handsome appearance. He could feel a chill when he held the mask in his hand.

Ah Zhao stroked the patterns on it, and they merged with the mask he wore on his face in his memory.

When I looked up, I saw an eagle soaring and circling in the sky.

He blew a whistle out of habit, and the eagle swooped down and landed on his shoulder. He couldn't help but call out in a low voice: "Zhu Xuan!

"Your Highness, this is the name of the goshawk you raise. Do you remember it?"

Zheng Changkong and Yuwenlong were both filled with tears and were extremely excited. They spoke earnestly, "Your Highness, please come back with us as soon as possible and take charge of the situation!"

The long-lost pain attacked again. Ever since Jiang Nianwei gave him acupuncture treatment, Baili Zhao had never felt such pain again.

During this period, he continued to follow her instructions and insisted on taking the pills.

Baili Zhao closed his eyes slightly, his expression solemn: "If I go back with you, what about the others?"

"Your Highness, the borderland is raging with flames and war clouds. Although your stand-in is brave and fearless, the situation is changing rapidly. Only your wisdom and courage can lead our army to deploy troops and defeat the enemy. At this moment, everyone in the army is looking forward to your return and working together to find a strategy to defeat the enemy."

The secret guard was still waiting for Baili Zhao's answer, but now he just wanted to be Jiang Nianwei's Ah Zhao.

Anyway, his memory is lost, and he wants to live the rest of his life with his beloved in a simple and peaceful way, without worrying about worldly affairs.

Yuwen Long seemed to have noticed the tangle on his face, and whispered to comfort him: "Your Highness, if the skin is gone, where will the hair be attached? I know that you are attached to the princess and it is hard to part with her, but if the capital is destroyed, imagine if this prosperous capital is reduced to ruins, how can the princess find peace in it?"

Baili Zhao was silent. The other party's words were like morning bells and evening drums, and every word struck his heart.

Moreover, he knew that Jiang Nianwei's second brother had also gone to the battlefield and his life or death was uncertain.

On the surface, she was comforting her family, but she was actually very worried about this.

Now Jiang Nianwei has finally opened a shop and a restaurant, and has expanded her business to Linzhou.

Baili Zhao hesitated, his expression heavy: "Can you... let me think about it again."

Seeing this, Zheng Changkong wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yuwen Long with a look, "Don't bother the prince anymore now, let's give him some time to think about it."

Yuwen Long said: "Your Highness, we will always be around you, you know how to find us."

Baili Zhao nodded absentmindedly, "Okay."

When he returned to the inn, he saw Jiang Nianwei arranging the crew to pack their luggage and load it onto the carriage. Baili Zhao couldn't help but wonder, "What happened?"

Jiang Nianwei immediately explained, "It was Uncle Huo's good intention that found a quiet courtyard for us. This way, everyone can settle down here, which not only avoids the inconveniences of the inn, but also makes things easier."

"Well, that's fine, I'll come and help."

Jiang Nianwei pulled at the corner of his sleeve and shook her head. "They have already taken care of the trivial matters in an orderly manner. You have been running around for me these days, which is not easy. You should have a good rest. The scenery and everything in the courtyard have been arranged properly. Uncle Huo is even more considerate. He said that he would personally cook a home-cooked meal for us to comfort us."

For some reason, he suddenly felt that Sanniang was a little more gentle and a little less fierce today.

But seeing that her tone of voice and style of behavior when talking to other people had not changed, except for him, he couldn't help but feel a little happier in his heart, which diluted his previous worries.

Maybe... he should find an opportunity to discuss this with Jiang Nianwei.

Uncle Huo had already arranged the courtyard properly. The crew members all lived in the northwest courtyard, two people in a room. This courtyard was even more comfortable than the inn, and everyone was delighted.

A girl named Shuangshuang lives alone in a warmly decorated room on the west side. She likes this independent and exquisite room very much.

But as for Jiang Nianwei and A Zhao, he was aware of their relationship. It would be inconvenient for the young couple to be outside, so he arranged them in the quietest south yard where no one would disturb them.

Baili Zhao was still frightened, afraid that he might offend someone and lose his composure.

"Uncle Huo, don't you have any extra rooms?"

Hearing this, Uncle Huo smiled meaningfully, "Don't worry, sir. I have already expected this. This courtyard has been recently renovated, and all the items in the rooms are newly purchased, specially prepared for you two. You and Miss can enjoy the tranquility here without being disturbed by the outside world."

Seeing his solemn expression, Jiang Nianwei could not help but approach and whispered, "It's okay, I don't mind these. You and I didn't live in the same room before. Do you mind?"

Baili Zhao hesitated to speak, then shook his head, thinking that the two of them could just be alone together in that quiet courtyard and talk about some things.

"Then, let's do as you say. This arrangement is very good."

Since coming to Linzhou, the two have never lived in the same room again.

Uncle Huo was about to show off his cooking skills. "You have come to Linzhou, but you have not tried the local specialties. Today, I will use my clumsy hands to cook you an authentic hometown meal!"

After saying this, Uncle Huo got busy and the others also started to help.

Uncle Huo specially prepared local roast goose and barbecued pork, and also made glutinous rice chicken, seafood porridge, roast suckling pig...

There was a table full of dishes that made one's mouth water.

Jiang Nianwei took a bite of the roast goose. The skin was crispy, with aromas of fruit and wine, and the juice was overflowing. She didn't eat much on normal days, but today she ate a lot of roast goose and roast pork, and she still felt unsatisfied.

"It seems that Uncle Huo, your cooking skills are no worse than my Aunt Liu's?"

Hearing this, Uncle Huo smiled warmly and waved his hand gently, saying, "Oh, don't compliment me. How dare I compare my humble skills with Aunt Liu's?"

Jiang Nianwei smiled slyly, "Someday you must give me this secret recipe so that I can pass it on."

Uncle Huo laughed and said, "If you want, I will write down the secret recipe for you later."

Everyone was enjoying themselves except Baili Zhao, who had a look of sadness on his face. The table full of delicious food seemed like chewing wax to him, and was tasteless.

As the night deepened, the two returned to the quiet courtyard.

Jiang Nianwei noticed that he was not in the right state, and thought that he had not let go of the knot in his heart before: "What kind of place does Ah Zhao like to live in? Can we live in such a house in the future?"

"After spending these days with you, I know what kind of person you are and what you feel... It's not that I don't want to respond, but I'm afraid. You know, I married Qin Ziqian with great expectations, and I always have concerns in my heart. I hope you can give me some more time."

Baili Zhao's eyes were dark, filled with endless thoughts and unspoken words: "I know."

Now, he hesitated.

He was not sure whether he could stay by Sanniang's side in the future, so he could not express his feelings as freely as before.

Jiang Nianwei took out a letter from her sleeve. "It just so happens that my parents sent a letter from Yazhou. Let's go see how they are doing first."

"Alright."

Jiang Nianwei looked at the description in the letter and found that everyone was doing well.

However, Jiang Yan received a letter from Jiang Lixuan, saying that the situation on the border was tense, but telling them not to worry, that everything was fine and that Prince Yu would come with his troops to help in a month.

"My second brother also sent a letter. I don't know how the battle is going. I always feel worried, but Prince Yu has always been brave. I believe he will help the army win."

Although Jiang Nianwei did not like the current emperor, if Dasheng was invaded by foreign races, the people would suffer.

She sighed softly, "Based on the time the letter arrived, Prince Yu must have already arrived at the battlefield. I just hope he can... protect the people of Dasheng."

Baili Zhao felt mixed emotions. Knowing what Sanniang was thinking, he couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

Seeing this, Jiang Nianwei frowned slightly and gently touched Baili Zhao's forehead with her fingertips, her worry evident in her words: "Are you worried about something? You usually have a good appetite, but today you eat very little, and your words lack the joy of the past. It really makes me worried."

Baili Zhao only felt that her palms were burning hot, penetrating his skin and reaching his heart, making him palpitate involuntarily.

He grabbed her hand and tried to ask, "I'm fine, Sanniang. You know I'm probably a military man. If I want to go to the battlefield, will you agree?"

Jiang Nianwei's face was solemn, her eyes were deep, "When we got married, you told me that you wanted me to be free and pursue my heart's desire. I feel the same way about you. I will support you in whatever you want to do. I just hope you can return safely."

"Don't worry, I will return unharmed, and I swear to bring your second brother back to you safely."

She is an important person to Sanniang and also someone that he cares about, and he cannot afford to lose her.

Jiang Nianwei only felt her eyes slightly hot, and thousands of words surged in her heart, almost blurting out: "Don't go, just stay with me."

But when he thought about how Ah Zhao treated him, he simply couldn't bear to say such words and forced himself to suppress this selfish thought.

Although she was reluctant, she also knew the importance of protecting the country and the people.

Jiang Nianwei forced a smile: "If you insist on going, I will definitely help you. If you need anything, just ask."

Ah Zhao shook his head. "I feel relieved when you say that. Actually...someone found me today and told me my life story. All the clues match. I have a mission and must go to the battlefield to assist the generals and fight against foreign enemies. This is the responsibility of my family."

He stretched out his hand and gently stroked her cheek. If he wanted to protect Sanniang, he must protect Dasheng.

He wanted to spend his life with Jiang Nianwei in this prosperous era.

Besides, he had promised to bring her second brother back safely, so he had to make up his mind to keep his promise.

Jiang Nianwei finally understood why he was so strange today, "You know your own life experience? This, this is a good thing."

But for some reason, she felt extremely bitter in her heart.

I originally thought that these things would come later, but I didn't expect that I would have to make a decision now.

"Well, it is indeed as you suspected. I am a descendant of a general, so I must fulfill my duties."

Baili Zhao did not reveal his true life story. If he returned victorious, it would not be too late to tell everything.

If unfortunately he died in battle... Sanniang wouldn't have to bear so much pressure.

Thinking that Sanniang had kept his jade pendant, he couldn't help but feel a little sweeter in his heart.

I thought he was still jealous, but I didn't know that I was jealous of myself.

He really should not be jealous anymore in the future. He once wanted to snatch Sanniang back from the so-called "Prince Yu". It's funny to think about it.

Seeing an inexplicable smile blooming on Ah Zhao's lips, Jiang Nianwei's heart moved slightly. She pushed him with a bit of anger and said with a smile: "You are laughing so happily, are you hiding some secrets? Now that I have reunited with your family, why are you still reluctant to tell me your real name?"

Baili Zhao paused, but finally did not reveal his real name: "I dare not hide it, my name is Li Zhao, I hope you will always remember it in your heart."

It’s just one word missing, but it doesn’t matter, as long as she remembers it.

"Li Zhao..." Jiang Nianwei murmured the name, but it never appeared in her memories.

But it was impossible for her to know the names of all the generals in the court, and there were indeed several families with the surname Li.

The two walked into the room and found that Uncle Huo's arrangement was a little too "thoughtful". The room was even more fancy than their bridal chamber, giving them the illusion of being newlyweds again.

Baili Zhao looked a little uncomfortable, "How about I sleep on the floor today and you sleep on the bed?"

Jiang Nianwei coughed a few times, her face flushed. "After all, this floor is not as good as a bed. It's cold. I'll stay on the inside, and you can sleep on the outside. We can both be safe."

Fearing that he might misunderstand, she added, "Don't think too much. I just thought that the weather has turned cooler recently. Although your headache has gradually subsided, you still need to take good care of your body to prevent the cold from invading your body and ruining all your efforts."

Baili Zhao knew what she meant, and couldn't help but agree: "Madam, this is all out of your deep concern for me."

The echo of those words was still ringing in her ears, but Jiang Nianwei was already secretly annoyed. He just called her Madam?

There had been an intimate contact between the two of them. That day in the stream, he lost consciousness, his body was like fire, and he held her tightly in his arms, his lingering and charming kiss lingering on her lips.

At this moment, memories flooded into her mind, her cheeks turned slightly red, and her heart was unsettled.

Baili Zhao walked lightly around the room, thinking that Jiang Nianwei always liked cleanliness and didn't like the smell of sweat on her body.

His eyes inadvertently swept across the bathroom cubicle waiting in a corner, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he naturally suggested:

"Sanniang, since there is a place to bathe here, I will go and boil some hot water for you."

Jiang Nianwei had not expected this sudden proposal, and thought of the scene that just appeared in her mind.

I couldn't help but feel embarrassed. "Ah? Here?"
