Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Lu Beimo didn't speak.

He was speechless.

He simply held Chu Yueli's hand tightly, unwilling to let go even a little.

But even if they didn't let go, it couldn't stop Chu Yueli's determination to leave.

"If I can come back alive, I will never leave your side again in this lifetime, just like my sister-in-law's promise to my brother. In this lifetime, I will always be with you, whether in the capital or on the battlefield."

She actually envied her sister-in-law sometimes.

My sister-in-law's life has been free of regrets and worries.

Even her most cherished third brother had returned to Eastern Zhou two months ago.

Tuoba Liuli truly had no more worries. In this life, wherever her elder brother was, that was where she would be. She could disregard everything else and let go of everything, as long as she wholeheartedly followed her elder brother.

But she can't.

There are many, many things and people she cares about.

"If I unfortunately suffer any misfortune, please continue on the path you are on."

"Okay, if something unfortunate happens, at least until Bao'er reaches adulthood, I will fulfill all my responsibilities as a father."

Lu Beimo took a deep breath and looked at her with gentle eyes.

Chu Yueli understood the unspoken meaning in his words, and her heart clenched instantly, shocked and heartbroken.

He never tells lies or jokes.

He always keeps his word.

If she truly has no chance to return, then after Bao'er grows up, he will go to the Yellow Springs to meet her.

This man is so pitiful.

"Finally, I need you to promise me one thing," Lu Beimo suddenly said. "Yunfei!"

Lu Yunfei emerged from some corner, his steps slow but firm.

Chu Yueli was filled with surprise: "Bei Mo..."

"I knew I couldn't persuade you, but I still held onto a sliver of hope that you would listen to me." Lu Beimo's smile was tinged with bitterness.

But in the end, he couldn't persuade him, just as he had expected.

Just as Ali said, she understood him as well as he understood her.

"But……"

"No buts." Lu Beimo rejected all of Chu Yueli's requests.

Lu Yunfei walked up to the two of them, glanced at Chu Yueli, and then looked at Lu Beimo: "Fourth brother, rest assured, I will risk my life..."

"No need." Lu Beimo patted his shoulder and smiled, "This time, I don't need you to protect your fourth sister-in-law with your life. What I need is for you and Ali to return safely. You and Ali are more important to me than my life."

Lu Yunfei pursed his lips, feeling a pang of sadness in his heart, unsure of what to say.

Chu Yueli smiled and said, "Okay, we will definitely return safely. Bei Mo, wait for my good news."

They finally left.

They left the military camp and took a shortcut to Lu Fengjin's camp.

The two armies were not far apart, but because it was night, they moved very slowly.

When they arrived outside Lu Fengjin's military camp, it was still dark, only the early hours of the morning.

"Shall we rest here for a bit before going in?" Chu Yueli stopped, and Lu Yunfei couldn't help but ask.

"No, let's get some sleep first and talk about it when it's light."

Chu Yueli sat under the tree, leaning against the trunk, and closed her eyes.

Lu Yunfei was somewhat puzzled: "Wait until dawn?"

After daybreak, won't it be even harder to move around? Everything will be clearly visible, making it difficult to even try to hide.

Lu Yunfei didn't understand why they had to wait.

It was the early hours of the morning, a perfect time to take action.
