Years turn into wind

Ling Xiaotian and Su Nianchu's close relationship grew increasingly natural, yet behind them, a conspiracy still swirled. After the spies within the army were largely eliminated, Su Nianchu, leveraging his doctorate in chemistry, helped develop a specialized smoke bomb designed to confuse enemy forces, with remarkable effectiveness. This technology not only boosted Ling Xiaotian's army's combat effectiveness but also caused the enemy to retreat in several battles.

One morning, Ling Xiaotian deliberately set aside his military duties to accompany Su Nianchu out of the palace to relax. He held her hand as they walked along the quiet country road, a rare, relaxed smile on his face. "Nianchu, you've been busy helping me solve those conspiracies these days. Thank you for your hard work. I owe you a peaceful day."

Su Nianchu shook his head, his eyes soft but firm: "Xiaotian, what you owe me is not stability, but trust. As long as you believe in me, we will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties."

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier hurried over to report: "General, the spies report that Gao Yuan, the enemy leader's deputy, sneaked into the city last night and seems to be planning a new operation."

Ling Xiaotian frowned slightly upon hearing this, and tightened his grip on Su Nianchu's hand, "It seems our leisurely day today is over. However, your safety is the most important thing. Nianchu, go back home first, I'll take care of it."

Su Nianchu shook his head and refused: "I will advance and retreat with you. Since the enemy has new movements, I may be able to help from a chemical perspective."

Ling Xiaotian pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, but you have to follow me closely."

Spy Wars Under the Cover of Night

The two men quietly infiltrated the warehouse where the enemy was hiding. Su Nianchu gently sprinkled the chemicals she had brought with her on the ground and quickly determined from the reaction in the air that a large number of flammable materials were hidden there, which was the key to the enemy's plan to create chaos. She whispered to Ling Xiaotian, "That's the smell of nitroglycerin. They might be making a bomb."

A cold light flashed in Ling Xiaotian's eyes: "He is indeed a ruthless character, trying to catch us all in one fell swoop."

The two quickly deployed their forces and surrounded the warehouse. Just as the enemy attempted to detonate the bomb, Su Nianchu, on a sudden inspiration, threw a special coolant into the warehouse, successfully slowing the explosion. Ling Xiaotian decisively ordered a charge, annihilating the enemy's main force in one fell swoop.

After this battle, Ling Xiaotian completely eliminated the enemy forces lurking in the army, and peace returned to the city. Su Nianchu's witty performance once again made Ling Xiaotian look at her with new eyes.

Warm time together

After the war, Ling Xiaotian specially prepared a small celebration banquet for Su Nianchu, inviting only their closest friends and subordinates. During a break in the banquet, Ling Xiaotian took Su Nianchu to the back garden.

"Nianchu," he whispered, "from the day you appeared, my world has become different. Not only did you help me win the battle, but you also made me understand the power of working together. Promise me that no matter how difficult the future is, you will not leave me."

Su Nianchu smiled slightly, tears glistening in her eyes: "Xiaotian, don't worry, I will always be by your side. Because you made me find the meaning of traveling to this era."

Their eyes met, their affection was strong, and they hugged each other tightly in the moonlight.

However, amidst this sweet and warm atmosphere, an untimely sound of footsteps could be heard in the distance. Ling Xiaotian turned around and saw a trusted confidant approaching with a serious expression. "General, I have new information about an old friend of yours..."
