Upon hearing this, the emperor stepped forward and helped the man up: "Cousin, why do you have to do this? If the Queen Mother knew, I don't know how she would blame me."

However, Song Qinian remained motionless: "My aunt is naturally concerned about me, but as a citizen of Nanlin, we cannot afford to lose any time when facing national affairs."

"And His Majesty Song Jiazhong, naturally, wants to share His Majesty's worries. Now that I have this opportunity, I should set an example."

The emperor then nodded and sighed, "Yes, Eunuch Xu, pass down the decree, appointing General Song as General of the Cavalry, and leading his troops to Mobei starting the day after tomorrow."

Song Qinian's eyes trembled, and he lowered his head: "Your Majesty... obeys your order."

.........

The day before going to war, Song Qinian once again turned around and entered the small courtyard.

The person in the room seemed to know it in advance, and opened the door instantly and called him.

"Pray for a good harvest."

He turned around and met her gaze unexpectedly. He was distracted for a moment, stunned for a moment, and there was a layer of ambiguous light in his eyes.

Jiang Wan stood at the door, tilted her head and smiled at him: "Come in and sit down?"

However, upon hearing this, Song Qinian paused, touched his back teeth with the tip of his tongue, and looked at her with amusement: "Huh? I am a serious man."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wan smiled, walked towards the person in the yard, and sat down beside him.

He took something out of his arms and placed it in Song Qinian's hand.

"Ok?"

Song Qinian picked it up with his fingers and held it up to the moonlight. It was... the amulet from Huguo Temple.

Then he looked sideways at the person and asked, "Did you ask for me?"

"Of course."

Song Qinian looked at it for a long time before slowly putting it against his chest.

Song Jier looked at her and suddenly said solemnly, "Jiang Wan, you promised me that you would wait for me to come back."

Jiang Wan tilted her head and said playfully, "What if I don't get to see you in the end?"

Hearing this, Song Qinian's eyes moved and the corners of his mouth curled up, "Even if I can't wait, I have to wait. You... can only be mine."

If he can't wait, he will come back and tie the person up by his side.

Jiang Wan sighed helplessly, "Ah, so overbearing, then I will wait for you."

Song Qinian raised the corners of his lips slightly and glanced sideways at Jiang Wan, as if he wanted to imprint her appearance in his mind.

He is a little reluctant, what to do...

Jiang Wan met his gaze, and the next second the two of them hugged each other tightly in tacit understanding.

finally

Song Qinian sighed, let go of Jiang Wan, and kissed her forehead: "Let's go back, it's getting late."

"And you…"

"I'll sit here for a while. I'll leave when you fall asleep."

Jiang Wan looked at him suspiciously: "Really?"

"Of course it's true."

Song Qi pinched the tip of her nose, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and looked deeply at the figure in front of him, as if he wanted to imprint her appearance in his heart.

Seeing this, Jiang Wan nodded and walked into the house, looking back every few steps.

Before long, the lights in the house dimmed and then disappeared into darkness.

But Song Qinian did not do as he said. He sat in the yard for a long time, but his eyes were always looking at the door, as if he was looking through the door at the person inside.

Until his body was numb and the sky gradually brightened, he slowly walked to the window. Finally, he couldn't help but open the window and saw the person sleeping soundly inside.

Suddenly he laughed, "You little heartless boy, you're sleeping soundly."

Although he was reluctant in his heart, he gently lowered the window and left carefully holding the amulet in his hand.

…………

In the distance, a young man in silver armor had his ponytail tied up high, sitting high on a white horse with a sword in his hand. His sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes exuded the boldness of youth.

The tens of thousands of soldiers who had been waiting in formation below the city wall cheered instantly when they saw the approaching figure.

"Young General..."

"The General is coming..."

Song Qinian rode on the snow-covered horse and approached, then dismounted. He looked at the people in front of him with a smile in his eyes.

Song Chen's eyes flashed, he took a step forward with his hands behind his back, and reached out to straighten his helmet.

"I was afraid your mother couldn't bear it, so I didn't let her come. The Queen Mother missed you, but it was inconvenient for her to come. You..."

At this point, the usually taciturn man's eyes also turned red. Finally, he patted the boy's shoulder and said, "Be careful. Your mother and I will wait for you to come back."

Song Qinian nodded, knelt down on his knees and bowed to the man, "Dad, you and Mom must take care of your health. I understand."

Li Huaijin nodded at him: "Have a safe journey."

Pei Jingyang, standing by, turned his head away and said with some disdain, "Leave quickly! You'll only be disliked if you stay in the capital. But... remember to bring me some fine wine from the border when you come back."

When Song Qinian heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up. He nodded at the two of them, took a last look in the direction they had just come from, and then jumped on his horse.

"Set off."

On a summer morning, the sky was just beginning to turn pale, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of morning dew. In this hazy moment, a brave young man, only seventeen years old, clad in dazzling armor and holding a sharp spear, stood at the forefront of the team with heroic spirit.

Behind him followed tens of thousands of brave soldiers and generals. They were all in high spirits and morale. They marched in neat and powerful steps towards the distant border.

.........

Jiang Wan slept until dawn and heard news from the front yard, which turned out to be a handwritten letter from the empress dowager.

I hurried to the front yard and saw Jiang Xiaochuan frowning and looking serious.

The Empress Dowager had only lived in the Cining Palace in recent years. They didn't know why she came to the mansion to deliver the imperial edict, and they felt a little surprised and a little scared.

When the people from the palace arrived, Jiang Wan knelt down with them.

The eunuch in the palace shook his sleeves and spoke in a shrill voice.

"Jiang Yao, the daughter of the Jiang family, is blessed with great fortune and has a connection with the Huguo Temple. For the sake of the country and the people living along the border, I have specially ordered her to go to the Huguo Temple to pray for Nanlin for a year."

The whole family looked up in disbelief. Jiang Yao collapsed to the ground upon hearing this.

Finally, he took it with trembling hands.

After the people in the palace left, Jiang Yao immediately looked at Jiang Wan viciously.

"It's you! It's you!"

Jiang Wan smiled and looked at her innocently: "Sister, I don't understand what you mean."

However, it was this attitude that angered Jiang Yao. She ran towards her and raised her hand to slap her.

But before he could touch her, he was stopped by a roar.

"Stop it, asshole."

"Dad! Do you know, do you know..." After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Yao couldn't utter a single word.

What could he say? If she said it, his father would probably have to sacrifice her, and then there would be no place for her in this family.

Jiang Xiaochuan's face was dignified, and his tone left no room for doubt: "In that case, Yao'er should just stay at Huguo Temple peacefully for a year. It's a good opportunity to calm down."

Madam Jiang seemed to have just recovered from her shock and stared at Jiang Xiaochuan blankly: "Master, what did you say? Do you really want to send Yao'er in?"

Looking at Jiang Yao who was unable to accept it, Mrs. Jiang's heart was instantly gripped.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaochuan said impatiently: "The Queen Mother has given an order, what can I do? If you want, just follow Yao'er."

After saying that, Jiang Xiaochuan turned away, not caring at all about the two people slumped on the ground behind him.
