The Myth of Daqin: The Soul of Yi Xiaochuan

Meng Yi and Ying Bu rested quietly for several days at Qingtongxia Pass, their wounds gradually beginning to heal. Now, though not fully recovered, they were able to walk and move about, showing a marked improvement in their physical condition.

However, as the days passed and the end of December was approaching, a heartbreaking fact came into view - Lu Su was about to give birth.

Thinking of this, Meng Yi's heart was instantly filled with endless anxiety. He knew very well what this moment meant to Lu Su. Every minute and every second could be full of variables and dangers, and he could not be by her side.

Immediately afterwards, Meng Yi planned to set off early the next morning and rush back to Jiuyuan.

That very night, Meng Yi found Pang Qing and said, "Brother Pang Qing, I have decided to return to Jiuyuan tomorrow."

Pang Qing knew Meng Yi's inner thoughts and plans very well, so he did not stop him. Instead, he responded readily and said that he could immediately start preparing the necessary horses, dry food and other supplies.

Not long after, Ying Bu and Han Xin heard about this and expressed their strong desire to return to Jiuyuan together without hesitation.

The next day, at dawn, Meng Yi led Ying Bu, Han Xin and four other companions who had experienced life and death tests. They mounted their horses and galloped towards Jiuyuan like a gust of wind.

Along the way, everyone rushed at lightning speed without slacking off.

Time passed quickly, and a few days later at dusk, they finally arrived at the outskirts of Jiuyuan City.

After arriving at the destination, Ying Bu and Han Xin led the other four people directly to the Beidi camp to look for Li Ziwei.

At the same time, Meng Yi rode his horse alone and rushed straight to the general's mansion.

In fact, Meng Tian had been worried ever since he received Pang Qing's urgent report that Meng Yi had fallen into a coma due to excessive blood loss. However, he didn't dare to tell Lu Su the details of the incident, fearing that she wouldn't be able to bear such a heavy blow.

So, Meng Tian simply gave Yu Shu a brief explanation and asked her to go to where his brother-in-law Lu Su was and accompany her. In this way, the days passed, and Meng Tian was silently waiting for further news about Meng Yi's condition.

Finally, recently, Meng Tian received a piece of good news: Meng Yi had woken up from his coma and only needed a few more days of recuperation before he could set off to return to Jiuyuan. After hearing this good news, Meng Tian felt relieved.

Meng Yi rode his steed at lightning speed to the gate of the general's residence. One of the guards saw this and hurriedly turned to report to Meng Tian, ​​while another guard quickly stepped forward and took the reins from Meng Yi's horse.

Just at this moment, Meng Yi had just raised his front foot and stepped into the gate, and Meng Tian had already walked out hurriedly with big strides to greet him.

Meng Yi saw Meng Tian and quickly bowed, saying, "Brother, I'm back!"

Meng Tian quickly reached out to hold Meng Yi's shoulders, a relieved smile on his face, and responded: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back! Go visit your sister-in-law quickly!"

Meng Yi nodded, then said goodbye to Meng Tian and walked briskly towards the west courtyard.

Meng Yi walked lightly but eagerly to the bedroom door in the west wing. He stretched out his hands carefully and gently pushed the door open, as if he was afraid to disturb the person resting inside.

Upon entering the room, the first thing I saw was Lu Su's slightly gaunt yet still beautiful figure. She leaned back on the couch, her eyes slightly narrowed, her belly bulging. She looked like a blooming flower, emitting a tranquil and peaceful aura.

At this moment, Meng Yi's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down. He couldn't help but rub his hands together, then tiptoed towards Lu Su, each step being so cautious, afraid that the slightest sound would wake her from her sleep.

Perhaps sensing her husband's arrival, Lu Su slowly opened her eyes. When she saw that the man standing before her was none other than Meng Yi, whom she had been thinking about day and night, a brilliant smile immediately spread across her face. She quickly raised her hand to rub her sleepy eyes, and exclaimed with joy, "Husband, you're finally back!"

Hearing his wife's affectionate call, Meng Yi quickly stepped forward, tightly grasped Lu Su's soft and slender hands, and took her into his arms. His eyes were filled with endless care and love, and he asked softly, "My wife, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lu Su shook her head slightly, a faint smile on her lips, and replied softly: "I am fine, but these days I have been worried about whether my husband is safe and sound outside. Now that I see you return safely, I am relieved."

After saying that, she gently leaned her head on Meng Yi's broad and strong chest, enjoying this rare moment of warmth and tranquility.

Meng Yi gently stroked Lu Su's silky hair and said in a soft and soothing tone, "I'm sorry to have worried you, but everything went smoothly on this trip without any setbacks or obstacles. You don't need to worry about this."

Lu Su slowly raised her head, her clear eyes gleaming with happiness and brightness. She said softly, "As long as my husband can return safely, I will be able to put my worries to rest."

The two sat hugging each other tightly, as if time had stopped at this moment. They talked freely about their deep attachment and endless longing for each other, and shared the various experiences they had since they separated.

With a smile on her face, Lu Su enthusiastically told Meng Yi about the interesting things that happened during her pregnancy; Meng Yi also had a doting look on his face, patiently listening to his wife's words, and telling her everything he saw and heard when he was out there.

Time passed quietly, and before I knew it, night had quietly fallen. The bright moonlight shone through the window, pouring into the room like a layer of silver gauze.

Meng Yi carefully helped Lu Su up and laid her gently on the bed. Then he gently covered her with a warm blanket and said in a low voice, "Madam, please get some rest first. I need to go find my elder brother to discuss some important matters."

Lu Su nodded slightly in agreement, a faint smile still on her lips, and slowly closed her eyes. Meng Yi just stared at her quietly, his eyes full of affection and love. After a long time, he leaned over and gently kissed Lu Su's smooth forehead.

Then, Meng Yi stood up, walking very lightly, for fear of waking up the sleeping Lu Su. He walked out of the room slowly, step by step, and finally closed the door gently.
