Years turn into wind

When Ling Xiaotian returned to the mansion, he learned that Cheng Yuwei had been assassinated, and his face instantly darkened. He quickly walked towards Cheng Yuwei's room, pushed the door open, and saw her sitting in a chair with a slightly tired look on her face. He was immediately filled with guilt and worry.

"Yuwei, are you okay?" he asked softly, his eyes full of self-blame.

Cheng Yuwei looked up and saw his dusty appearance. She smiled comfortingly and shook her head gently: "I'm fine. The secret guards arrived in time and the enemy did not succeed. But it seems that General Xie's influence is deeper than we imagined."

Ling Xiaotian held her hand tightly and said firmly, "It was my negligence this time that allowed them to sneak up on you. From now on, I will never let you face any danger alone."

Cheng Yuwei felt the warmth of his palm, and her heart warmed. She whispered comfortingly, "Don't blame yourself. No matter how cunning General Xie is, he may not always have the upper hand. As long as we don't let him defeat us, we will eventually find a way to break through."

The next morning, Ling Xiaotian ordered the Marshal's Mansion to be further guarded and his most elite secret guards to protect Cheng Yuwei in case of another enemy attack. At the same time, he quickly summoned several trusted generals to discuss the next steps to counter General Xie.

In the mansion's laboratory, Cheng Yuwei worked tirelessly. She knew the prescription she held was the key to the enemy's coveted possession, but she also knew that only by continuing her research and finding a more effective drug could she truly help Ling Xiaotian.

After days of hard work, Cheng Yuwei finally developed an antidote for a common enemy poison. Holding the bottle, she smiled, a sense of accomplishment filling her heart. She couldn't wait to find Ling Xiaotian to tell him the good news.

"Xiaotian, I succeeded!" Cheng Yuwei excitedly showed him the antidote, "As long as we use this, it won't be so easy for the enemy to poison our soldiers again."

Ling Xiaotian took the bottle and looked at her in surprise, his eyes sparkling with joy: "Yuwei, you really did it! You saved countless lives, did you know that?"

Cheng Yuwei's cheeks flushed slightly, and she smiled shyly: "As long as I can help you, all the hard work is worth it."

Ling Xiaotian felt an indescribable emotion well up in his heart. He stared at Cheng Yuwei and said in a low voice, "Yuwei, do you know how important your existence is to me? Without you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hold on until now."

Cheng Yuwei was slightly stunned, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes revealed a hint of tenderness and emotion. At this moment, Ling Xiaotian couldn't help but hug her gently and whispered, "Yuwei, from now on, no matter how dangerous it is, I will never let you face it alone."

She was surrounded by his warm embrace, and a sense of dependence and comfort quietly arose in her heart, as if he was the home she could rely on. The two hugged each other for a long time, and their hearts became closer.

However, during these peaceful days, General Xie's next conspiracy quietly unfolded.

One day, Ling Xiaotian received news that the Southern Army was planning to join forces with another rebel force to launch a surprise attack on the border. This news made Ling Xiaotian frown, as it was clearly a meticulously planned conspiracy designed to tie down his main force.

Cheng Yuwei, who was listening to this news, also felt a little uneasy. She held Ling Xiaotian's hand and said firmly, "Xiaotian, General Xie's goal is to distract you, but no matter what, we can't let him succeed so easily. How about trying to counter his scheme?"

Ling Xiaotian's eyes flashed with approval when he heard this: "You're right. We can indeed use this opportunity to lure them out of their hole and find their weakness."

At Cheng Yuwei's suggestion, Ling Xiaotian decided to take countermeasures. He deliberately leaked information about the border's weakness, tempting General Xie to send more troops so he could annihilate them in one fell swoop. At the same time, he laid a heavy ambush, waiting for the enemy to fall into his trap.

A few days later, General Xie fell for the trick and sent a large number of elite troops to launch a surprise attack. However, when the enemy approached the border, Ling Xiaotian's troops, who had been ambushed, suddenly launched a fierce counterattack, completely disrupting the enemy's offensive.

Ling Xiaotian stood at the command platform, his gaze sternly surveying the battlefield. His strategic deployments were meticulous, constantly restraining the enemy and inflicting heavy losses. Cheng Yuwei, beside him, felt his wisdom and courage, her resolve to accompany him further.

The battle finally ended with Ling Xiaotian's all-out counterattack. The enemy was defeated and General Xie's elite troops were severely damaged and had to retreat in a hurry.

That night, Ling Xiaotian and Cheng Yuwei stood on the city wall, looking at the starry sky, with a joy of victory in their hearts.

He whispered, "Yuwei, we won." There was some excitement in his tone.

Cheng Yuwei smiled slightly and leaned against his shoulder: "Xiaotian, we will become stronger and stronger, and we will achieve the final victory."

They stood quietly together, leaning on each other, feeling the gentleness of the night breeze, as if the world belonged to them alone. However, they both knew that this battle was only the beginning, and the road ahead was still difficult and dangerous, but each other's company made them fearless.
