Inside the commander's tent, Xiang Huayan stood in front of the sand table with his back to the enemy, carefully pondering the strategies Chongyue had mentioned.

When I heard the sound and turned around, I saw my little son standing stupidly at the door, with his head down, thinking about something.

Thinking of Chongyue's departure, Xiang Huayan sighed helplessly as he looked at his son who seemed to have lost his mind.

"What are you standing there for? Come here quickly."

Xiang Huayan handed the things he had prepared early in the morning to Xiang Jingchuan.

Xiang Jingchuan's eyes fell on his hands, and when he saw the extra things in his hands, his brows furrowed slightly:

"Father, what are these?"

Xiang Huayan reached out and patted Xiang Jingchuan on the shoulder, and consoled him:

"These are the names of the soldiers who died in the attack on Xizhou. Go back and record each of their military achievements in a book. This will affect the lives of their families for the rest of their lives, so don't be careless."

Hearing this, Xiang Jingchuan clenched his hand holding the list, and the weight of the thing in his hand also increased invisibly.

In the past, these things were done by his brothers, but now his brothers are stationed in various places in Daxia, and only he followed his father to the border.

"Yes, son, I understand. If father has nothing else to do, son will go back first."

Xiang Huayan looked at his younger son who was taller than him. In the tent, only a few more candles were lit next to the sand table. Under the dim candlelight, Xiang Huayan's face looked solemn.

He and his wife originally did not want to interfere in their son's affairs, but seeing that Chongyue did not have such thoughts at the moment, it would be rude for their son to continue to cling to her.

"Jingchuan, there are some things that your father and mother were reluctant to talk to you about. You've grown up now, and there are some things you should understand yourself."

When Xiang Jingchuan saw his father like this, he understood what his father wanted to say.

Xiang Jingchuan forced a relieved smile and said to his father, word by word:

"Don't worry, father. I am just a mortal. I cannot reach the bright moon in the sky. I understand."

Although Xiang Huayan didn't want his son to say that about him, compared to Chongyue, his son's analogy was not wrong.

"Forget it. When this war is over, go back and let your mother take a good look at you. You are old enough to get married."

Seeing the white hair on his father's temples, the words of rejection stuck in Jingchuan's throat. In the end, he didn't say it out loud. Instead, he smiled and nodded at his father.

Seeing that Xiang Jingchuan was finally willing to give in and no longer suffer from his unrequited love for Chongyue, Xiang Huayan remembered what his wife had told him before he left, and now he could report back.

After Xiang Jingchuan walked out of his father's tent, he looked up at the dark sky with twinkling stars. The moon seemed to be hiding tonight and could not be seen clearly.

Looking at the stars in the dark sky, each one twinkling brighter than the other, Xiang Jingchuan smiled at himself. He was just like these stars, and his whole life would be ruined once he saw the bright moon.

Liang Chongyue didn't know that in a place where she couldn't see, there really was someone who fell deeply in love with her after just seeing her twice. She slept too much during the day and was not sleepy at night. The first thing she did when she returned to the tent was to think about whether she should go out for a walk.

Liang Chongyue had just poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip when she heard some movement outside the tent. The next second, the system swooped in and saw her, as excited as if it had seen a huge bone.

"Host, we are rich!"

Liang Chongyue didn't quite understand what the system was saying, but she could feel that the system had knocked over the tea in her hand when it pounced on her just now, and now half of the tea had spilled onto her hands and body.

Fortunately, it wasn't hot tea, otherwise the skin on her hands would have been burned off.

Liang Chongyue cleaned up the tea on his hands and body, then grabbed the system's fleshy ear and asked:

"Did you find some discarded bones out there? Why are you so excited?"

When the system saw that the host looked down on others, its face immediately drooped, and it shook its head to free its ear from the host's grip.

"You just picked up a big bone. No matter what, I am still the system. How could I be so narrow-minded?"

Seeing the system looking so aggrieved, Liang Chongyue smiled helplessly and reached out to rub the system's furry head:

"It's my fault. I saw the puppy clearly. I apologized. Now the puppy can complain about how we became so prosperous?"

Liang Chongyue rubbed the system's head and withdrew his hand. The reason was simple: there was a lack of hot water at the border, and Liang Chongyue only took a bath once every few days. He couldn't bear not washing his body anymore.

She didn't bring any of the palace maids who served her, so naturally there was no one to boil water for the system to take a bath.

The system had been busy behind her for most of the day yesterday, and she was so dirty, so the system wasn't much clean either.

The system doesn't care. It will pass whether it is clean or not. Liang Chongyue felt like he had touched dust with that move just now.

Seeing the host apologize so quickly for the first time, the system couldn't help but feel curious, but it really wanted to share the good news with the host as soon as possible, so it didn't think too much about it.

"Host, guess how much luck you have left. Do not open the panel to peek."

Liang Chongyue looked at the system with an ecstatic face, all the emotions were written on her face. Without opening the panel, she guessed that it must be the soldiers she rescued who had a sharp rise in their favorability towards her. With so many brave and fearless soldiers defending their country, her luck must be very good now.

Maybe it will be even higher than her previous luck value.

"I can't guess. Tell me now."

The system was waiting for the moment when the host said he couldn't guess, and immediately called up the panel it had prepared long ago, and aimed the string of numbers at the host's beautiful face.

Liang Chongyue looked at a string of numbers that seemed to have no end. He stretched out his hand and swiped back for a long time before he saw the bottom. Even though he had guessed it, Liang Chongyue was still a little surprised.

"How could there be so many? The soldiers I rescued seemed to be less than 20,000."

However, Liang Chongyue had not originally planned to earn much luck points from these soldiers. It would be good enough if he could make back his investment. Now it seems that he has more than made back his investment, at least doubled it.

"Host, I am shallow. You are truly a master."

Liang Chongyue knew that the system misunderstood that she saved people in order to gain more luck. Forget it, the people were saved and she gained more luck. Everyone was happy, and she was too lazy to explain anymore.

"Yes, next time, say less and do as you are told. Got it?"

Liang Chongyue subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch the system's dog head, but after feeling the dust on his hand, Liang Chongyue withdrew his hand.

It's a bit dirty, so it's better not to touch it, otherwise the system will get dirty and get dust all over her.

"understand."

Liang Chongyue looked at the system's lackey-like appearance and transferred some luck into its account. Originally, all this luck was supposed to be given to it, but she had spent most of it on others at once, so she quickly subsidized it so that the system would have enough money to provide special treatment for herself.
