Resisting the Wind and Splendor

“Xiao He, why would we lie to you? Li’er is indeed still in the capital, she…”

"Then tell me, who lives in this tent? Everything here is clearly..."

Suddenly, the curtain was lifted, and a graceful figure walked in.

Chu Xiaohe and Huo Qing, who were arguing, paused for a moment and looked at the girl who had entered.

Chu Lingshan seemed stunned as well, probably not expecting Chu Xiaohe to be here.

She looked at Chu Xiaohe, paused for a moment, and then immediately bowed: "General!"

Then, he bowed to Huo Qing and said, "Madam!"

"Ling Shan?" Chu Xiaohe was also somewhat surprised: "Why...are you here?"

After Chu Xiaohe woke up, the army set off soon after, advancing northwards towards Sukulu. He has been slowly taking over the affairs of the army over the past two days.

As for the Chu family army and the new army brought by Chu Yueli and Huo Qing, he has not yet fully taken over their situation.

He had no idea why Chu Lingshan, the daughter of a nobleman, would be in his military camp.

Chu Lingshan immediately explained, "That day I was forced to marry... a man older than my father. I was unwilling to obey, so I followed Madam Qing to the Chu family army camp."

"Later, because I saw that Ling Shan was capable, I ordered her to lead the new army. Now our new army is very well trained, and all of this is thanks to Ling Shan," Huo Qing said hurriedly.

Chu Xiaohe glanced at her, then at Chu Lingshan, and finally his gaze fell on the tent.

Chu Lingshan walked in and said with a smile, "I didn't know the general was coming. I'm sorry, my place is a bit messy and not tidied up."

"Is this your residence?" Chu Xiaohe frowned.

"Yes." Chu Lingshan nodded, and then said, "Yes... it's a bit luxurious to live alone, but I often need to discuss things with them. If many people live together, it will be very inconvenient. Please forgive me, General."

Chu Xiaohe naturally wouldn't blame her for living so luxuriously. Just as Chu Lingshan said, she still needed to discuss things with everyone from time to time.

It was common for generals and deputy generals in the army to live in their own tents.

Huo Qing also smiled and said, "You still have a lot to do, living alone is fine, don't think too much about it. But Xiao He, you..."

Something flashed in Huo Qing's eyes, but when she looked up at him, her face changed to one of slight reproach.

"What's wrong with you tonight? You've been acting strangely. Did Princess Yuwen upset you again? But Xiao He, although she's a Khitan, she's still your savior. Even if she said something that upset you, just pretend you didn't hear it. There's no need to hold a grudge against her, is there?"

"I didn't, I just..."

Chu Xiaohe couldn't resist glancing at the contents of the tent.

Huo Qing stepped forward, blocking his view. "Although Ling Shan is in the military, she is still a young woman, so... it's best not to go too far."

Chu Xiaohe quickly looked away and nodded: "Sorry."

I want to go out, but I'm reluctant to leave.

It's clearly Li'er's aura.

Chu Xiao was reluctant to leave because he always felt that once he went out, he wouldn't even be able to sense Li'er's presence anymore.

But this is another girl's camp.

“General,” Chu Lingshan walked up to him, somewhat uneasy, “Do you still feel that it’s wrong for me to live here?”

"Nothing."

Chu Xiaohe composed himself, turned around, and left.
