Resisting the Wind and Splendor

They finally made up.

The two bowls of noodles that Chu Yue left in the tent had long since been eaten by Liu Yun and Zi Su.

After they returned, Zisu made two more bowls for them.

After eating dry rations for five or six days, a bowl of hot noodles suddenly appeared. Even Lu Yunfei himself began to doubt whether his perseverance over the past few days had been meaningful.

Why are you being so stubborn? Being stubborn makes you lose your appetite and sleep. You're the one who's suffering and feeling wronged, while the person you're angry with is living a much better life.

"Don't you feel that getting angry is completely useless? Besides punishing yourself, you can't actually punish the person you're angry at all?" Chu Yueli winked at him.

Lu Yunfei glared at her, then continued eating his noodles, not wanting to say anything.

However, the melancholy in his eyes had indeed disappeared.

Although Chu Yueli hadn't spent much time with him, she inexplicably understood him very well.

He looks like he's no longer angry.

He's a genuine person; if he says he'll make up, he really means it, without being pretentious or awkward.

But her feelings towards Chu Yueli, which had finally improved somewhat before, have now naturally returned to the same state as before.

Women who like to use tricks are all vixens.

"Alright, hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, get a good night's sleep. Zisu has tidied up the tent next door for you. Get a good night's sleep tonight, because we'll be heading into the city early tomorrow morning."

After entering the city tomorrow, they will not stay. This is the only city they will pass through on their journey, and Chu Yueli plans to treat his brothers to a good meal at noon.

Liu Yun personally went into the city today to deliver silver notes to the city lord, promising that everyone will have a full lunch tomorrow, as a way to give them a chance to recover.

But after tomorrow, the days ahead will be a long march, and there won't be such a good environment for everyone to rest anymore.

"Are you going out again?" Lu Yunfei could tell from her appearance that she wasn't planning to rest yet.

"We've caught a bunch of traitors, but we don't know how many traitors are still hiding in the camp. Tonight, we still have a lot to do."

Chu Yueli finished the large bowl of noodles and patted her chest.

These past few days, I haven't had the morning sickness that people talk about. I'm finally feeling like a normal person again, except that I sometimes feel a tightness in my chest and shortness of breath.

Seeing this, Lu Yunfei felt a little anxious: "Where do you feel unwell?"

"It's nothing, I just choked because I ate too fast." Chu Yueli put down her bowl, stood up, and walked out of the tent.

Lu Yunfei finished the last bite of his noodles, put down his bowl, and chased after them.

"Didn't I tell you to go and rest?" He must not have rested well these past few days; he even has dark circles under his eyes.

Lu Yunfei didn't say anything, but followed closely behind her.

Chu Yueli had no choice but to ignore him.

In a tent not far from the main camp, the surviving rebels were bound hand and foot and forced to kneel on the ground.

Outside, there were several corpses.

Upon seeing Chu Yueli approach, Chu Lingshan immediately knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice, "This humble general has failed in his duties, allowing rebels to infiltrate the ranks of new recruits. This humble general is guilty and begs the general to punish him."

"Then I'll deduct one month's salary from your pay." Chu Yueli was fair in her rewards and punishments, and she would never tolerate those who deserved to be punished.

Upon hearing this, Chu Lingshan was deeply moved and said, "Thank you, General! I will be more careful in the future and will never fail your trust!"

Chu Lingshan is now a major general under Lieutenant General Huo Qing. Although her rank is not very high, it is the highest treatment Huo Qing can give her given her seniority.

It wasn't because Huo Qing was biased, but because Huo Qing felt that she was indeed a talented person.

Chu Lingshan didn't care about military pay; as long as she had food to eat, she could survive in the military camp.

But tonight's incident was indeed her fault!
