In the military camp, Shen Yunzhi, who had eaten and drunk his fill, sat at the table, reading a book by candlelight. He felt something strange in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was strange, so he simply put down the book and walked out of the tent.

Xuan Suguo has been disturbing them from time to time recently. Thinking that it was a test, there were always people guarding the high platform in the military camp to respond in time if there was any situation. Wei Ze stood outside the tent, and no one knew what he was thinking. He didn't even notice Shen Yunzhi approaching.

"Are you missing home?"

Wei Ze woke up in shock, turned around, and bowed slightly.

"I have no home, I just wonder when this war will end."

"The Xuansu Kingdom has been making repeated attempts, making them extremely difficult to deal with. They haven't started a war, nor have they stopped. This puts us in a very passive position. I don't know how His Highness makes decisions, and I don't know how we can return home to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival after midsummer."

"Of course I can, don't worry, sir."

"When I left home, I told Yan'er that I would be back in six months. It was I who broke my promise."

"The lady will understand."

"I wonder if she and her mother have been bullied."

"Miss...Miss is smart and clever, and Concubine Su is calm and steady. The Su family has moved to the capital now, so they are not alone and helpless. Young Master, don't worry. Besides, we will be returning soon."

"Hopefully."

In the past, he could see them every day and didn't think anything of it. But this time, being so far away from home, Shen Yunzhi seemed to have finally realized how much he missed his relatives. Now, not only has his body grown taller, but his mind has also matured a lot.

When Lu Jiusi returned to the granary at night, Shen Nanyue had already fallen asleep. He walked in lightly without making any noise. Under the candlelight, Shen Nanyue's little face was soft and tender, with a butterfly-wing-like shadow under her eyes, her lips were naturally red and shining, and she was quiet like a docile kitten.

Only then did Lu Jiusi dare to stretch out his fingers and gently touch Shen Nanyue's soft hair with his fingertips, his deep eyes filled with overflowing tenderness.

He had never approached anyone like this, not even his father, but he couldn't help wanting to get close to Shen Nanyan. It wasn't because she had saved him, nor because of any secrets she had, but he simply wanted to be close to her. Even if it was just to watch her playing with him, it would make him happy.

He did not leave that night. His tall and thin figure leaned against Shen Nanyan to rest. He knew that this was not right, but he could not help but do it. But the next morning, he quietly got up and left before dawn. He was worried that Shen Nanyan would be angry, worried that she would never see him again, and even more worried that she would get hurt by her anger.

Five days later, after Shen Nanyan's constant nagging, Lu Jiusi frowned and agreed to let her get out of bed. In fact, after Shen Nanyan's own treatment, most of her injuries had healed, but Lu Jiusi had been stopping her from getting out of bed. Now that she was out for a walk, she felt really relaxed both physically and mentally.

"Look, I'm really fine."

"I'll arrange for someone to take you back to Beijing."

It is unknown when the war at the border will be over. Lu Jiusi is afraid that Shen Nanyue is in danger here, so he wants to send her back to Beijing to feel more at ease.

"No, I haven't finished my work yet."

"Then I'll have some large granaries built, and you can leave after they're filled."

"What about what I told you."

"what's up?"

"Are you okay now?"

"No."

"Come on, let's go up... to the top of that mountain."

Shen Nanyue pointed to the mountain in the distance. Although it didn't look far away, it would take at least half a day to get there.

"what are you up to?"

"I told you I wanted to show you something good. Let's go, let's go. I have to go back as soon as possible after I finish dealing with the enemy. Otherwise, I will be worried about my aunt being alone in the mansion."

Shen Nanyan pulled Lu Jiusi and walked towards the stable.

"Really go?"

"I'm not kidding, trust me, once you go there you'll know how amazing it is."

Lu Jiusi sighed and followed her obediently.

I don’t know when it started, but Lu Jiusi, who always has his own opinions on everything, is always influenced by Shen Nanyue. Even when the war is approaching and she wants to go up the mountain, Lu Jiusi is willing to accompany her to go crazy. It seems that in front of Shen Nanyue, Lu Jiusi’s bottom line has been exhausted.

Just when Shen Nanyan was choosing a horse, Lu Jiusi had already climbed onto the horse. His horse was extraordinary, a rare BMW that only appears once in a thousand years. Sitting upright on the horse, Lu Jiusi bent down slightly and stretched out his hand in front of Shen Nanyan.

"Come up."

"Ah, I...I can ride a horse."

"No matter which horse you choose, you can't catch me. Come on."

"Can……"

Shen Nanyan looked back at the guards around her.

"If your whereabouts are exposed, these people will die."

Shen Nanyan lowered her head and thought for a moment, then put her little hand in his palm. Lu Jiusi's lips curled up slightly, and with a little force, Shen Nanyan floated onto the BMW like a butterfly. Lu Jiusi's hand naturally wrapped around her waist. This posture made Shen Nanyan's face flush instantly and her body stiffen.

While Shen Nanyan was gritting her teeth shyly, Lu Jiusi flicked the whip and the horse leaped out. Lu Jiusi looked at the woman in his arms and was in a good mood. The wind blowing towards him was sweet.

The two of them were walking on a small path. The sounds in their ears became less and less. In front of them were large expanses of green, with large meadows, dense woods, dripping springs, and gurgling streams. Shen Nanyue's state also gradually relaxed, but her back was pressed against Lu Jiusi's chest, which made her feel very uncomfortable. She and Shen Yunzhi had never been so intimate before, let alone a stranger.

It was not until the afternoon when the two of them arrived at the hilltop that Shen Nanyan pointed to. It was very high and very quiet, and they could vaguely see the vague outline of the military camp. Shen Nanyan walked around and looked around, then turned back. At this time, she was holding two things in her hands.

"Your Highness, this way."

Lu Jiusi stepped forward and saw a cliff in front of him. Below it was dense vegetation, and he couldn't see how deep it was.

"this is for you."

As he was speaking, Shen Nanyue had already stuffed a grenade into Lu Jiusi's palm. Looking at the strange black thing in his hand, Lu Jiusi was full of curiosity.

"This is?"

"This is... this is... a grenade. Yes, a grenade. Hold it like this, with your thumb pressing down on the handle. This... this hand hooks onto the safety ring. Follow my movements in a moment. Pull the safety ring open and throw it. And one thing, don't let go of the handle after pulling the safety ring. If you do, it will explode. As long as the grenade is in your hand, don't let go of the handle. Do you understand?"

While Shen Nanyan was explaining the key points, she was teaching Lu Jiusi how to operate step by step. Her soft little hand was held in Lu Jiusi's big palm, which made Lu Jiusi's heart unable to calm down at all. He stared at Shen Nanyan's hand pressing on his palm, and his heart was in a mess.

"Ah."

"Make sure you understand, otherwise it could be dangerous."

"determine."

"Okay, let's get started. Follow my movements and don't let go of the handle until the grenade leaves."

After making sure that Lu Jiusi understood, Shen Nanyue pulled the safety ring and turned to look at Lu Jiusi. They moved in unison. Shen Nanyue was afraid that if he let go of the safety ring, they would both die.

"Okay, get ready to throw it. Remember, throw it as far as you can. 1...2...3 throws!"

"boom!"

Two fireworks bloomed in different places, instantly illuminating the canyon and Lu Jiusi's slightly surprised face.
