The heat wave hit me in the face, and cicadas chirped in the green trees along the road.

Song Yang walked slowly down the street with Song Zhi. He smiled and said, "Your mother must have been frightened by your appearance just now, so she didn't make any sound until we left."

Song Zhi was speechless. "Don't get too close to her in the future. People who don't know her might think you still have feelings for her."

Song Yang waved his hand, "How can there be any lingering feelings?"

He came only for Song Chenfeng's sake.

As I walked, my eyes were attracted by a snack stall in front.

The man in the coat was still busy in front of the stove, sweating profusely. Not far away, a simple woman was laughing heartily.

She deliberately placed a hairpin on her head to make it very conspicuous, and said to everyone she met, "What? How did you know that this was bought by my husband specifically for me? I told him I didn't want it, but he insisted on buying such an expensive thing."

The couple was very popular, and when people heard the woman's "show off" of her happiness, instead of feeling unhappy, they started to cheer her on.

The man in front of the stove saw this scene and chuckled foolishly.

After laughing foolishly, he continued to work on the task at hand.

Song Yang stopped and looked at the woman, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.

Song Zhi was shocked. He first looked at Song Yang, then at the snack stand, and then continued to look at Song Yang, with an expression as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

"that……"

Song Zhi finally couldn't help but speak, "Dad, you don't like the girls introduced by the matchmaker, could it be that you've fallen for someone else's wife?"

Song Yang was still immersed in his own world and didn't hear Song Zhi's question at all.

After waiting for a long time without receiving an answer, Song Zhi showed a heartbroken expression, "Although it is your misfortune to meet Sun, we should not think about her wife. As the saying goes, it is better to demolish a temple than to ruin a marriage. As the saying goes..."

When Song Yang came to his senses, he heard Song Zhi chattering nervously beside him.

When he understood what Song Zhi was chattering about, his face immediately sank, "Shut up, what do you think of your father?"

Song Zhi said confidently, "You are not the kind of person who would stare at someone else's wife like that."

Song Yang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "Don't insult my reputation, I'm looking at them!"

Song Zhi was still terrified, "Are you really attracted to her?"

Song Yang's face turned as black as charcoal, and he left with a flick of his sleeves.

Song Zhi quickly chased after him, "Oh, it's not true, why are you still so angry?"

The two walked away one after the other, and their voices were soon drowned out by the busy street.

Surprisingly, even without Song Yang's help, Sun was safe and sound in the end.

I don’t know what method she used, but the maid didn’t report her.

Not only that, he even helped to take care of Song Yale who was still in a coma.

With help, Sun could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Because she felt relieved, she had more time to go to the Song Mansion to find Song Yang.

Song Yang was so miserable from being harassed that he wanted to find Song Zhi to complain, but Song Zhi was busy receiving Meng Qi.

The three-day deadline has arrived, and Meng Qi came to the door on time again.

After Song Yang left feeling aggrieved, Meng Qi asked urgently, "Miss Song, can you tell me what the surprise is?"

Song Zhi smiled and raised his head, then softly uttered four words, "As you wish."

Meng Qi's eyes were filled with doubts, and he was about to ask more questions with a frown on his face. However, the moment he opened his mouth, he thought of something, and his eyes burst into intense excitement. "I only hope that General Xin is still alive. Could it be..."

Song Zhi smiled without saying anything, calmly picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea.

This attitude did not make Meng Qi angry. Instead, the excitement in his eyes became even stronger. "Miss Song, you saved her, didn't you?"

Song Zhi put down the teacup and said, "Yes."

Meng Qi's eyes suddenly turned red, and his voice choked. "I thought I would never have the chance to repay her in this lifetime. If it weren't for her, I would have died long ago."

"Actually, there's one thing I didn't tell you. She was once imprisoned to save me. I was just an insignificant child, and she was a renowned general. When I was surrounded by the enemy, everyone tried to persuade her to abandon me, even I gave up on myself. But she went to save me single-handedly, her spear gleaming as she struck down an enemy soldier with each strike."

"She rode the same charger she had ridden to greet us, showing no fear."

"In the end, she saved me, but the horse was shot by several arrows and died in front of her."

Meng Qi still remembers that after winning the victory, he knelt in front of his warhorse, covered in blood, and cried bitterly.

He blamed himself very much because, because of him, she lost her most beloved warhorse and her partner in battle.

Xin Wanyun simply touched his head and said, "Sacrifice on the battlefield is normal, both for humans and horses. He is the best warhorse in the world, and this result is an honor for him."

The setting sun dyed half the sky red.

Because the light was against him, he couldn't see her expression clearly because his eyes were covered with tears.

But in the middle of the night when no one was around, he saw her sneak out, crying and burying the warhorse with her own hands.

General Xin is far from being as calm and composed as she appears.

"Since then, I have practiced martial arts seriously and worked hard to kill enemies, just so that I can help her one day."

Meng Qi finally shed tears, "Ms. Song, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Song Zhi's eyes were long and lingering. Xin Wanyun was indeed a very good person, otherwise she would not have made a special trip to Wanfo Temple to save her.

"Go to the frontier. Leave immediately. Perhaps you can meet her there."

Meng Qi quickly wiped away his tears and said, "Okay, I'll leave right away. The emperor didn't want me to stay in the capital for too long, but..."

Meng Qi looked embarrassed. "Because of this incident, his trust in me has been greatly reduced, so he took back most of the military power. Now he only left me a small part of the military power to resist foreign enemies. I don't know if it can still be of help to you."

This was within Song Zhi's expectations.

The emperor is not a fool. Even if he wants to keep Meng Qi and continue to work at the border, he will not keep a tiger as a threat.

"That's all right. Just go ahead. I'll send you a message if there's anything I need you for."

"it is good."

Meng Qi nodded and reminded him seriously, "Don't forget the antidote. Remember to give it to me on time."

Song Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He casually took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and said, "The antidote in here is enough for you to use for a year. It's not only an antidote, but also a tonic. You can take one pill every three months."

Meng Qi carefully accepted the porcelain bottle. Song Zhi deliberately said, "My poison is not detectable by most people, and the antidote won't be a problem, so don't think you can detoxify it yourself."

Meng Qi grinned sincerely, "I have no intention of detoxifying you. You saved General Xin, which means you are half my benefactor. I am willing to do anything for you."

Song Zhi was embarrassed. She didn't expect that saving Xin Wanyun would bring her such an unexpected gain. This was not what she had expected.

She waved her hand, and Meng Qi started to leave. Halfway through, he turned back and said, "Your brother is a talented man, both brave and resourceful on the battlefield, but the Emperor doesn't want him to stand out. The few times he performed well previously, the Emperor instructed me to steal his credit."

Song Zhi's eyes flashed with a dark color, and he said meaningfully: "I understand."

A tall tree attracts the wind. When Song Yang was powerful in the previous dynasty, it was normal that the emperor did not want the Song family to have a share of the pie among the military generals.

Meng Qi is a man of great wisdom who appears foolish. It seems that she had a deep misunderstanding of him in her previous life.
