My game even includes ancient times

"The war has started again. How long will this war last?"

Watching the soldier who came to deliver the message leave, Chu Yunsi sighed helplessly, "After the New Year, the last two sects that supported the battlefield also withdrew. Now, the only ones left in the border city to follow the court's orders are our Chu family. Alas."

"Fourth Senior Sister, don't say that. Among the ten major sects, the Ye family, the Ouyang family, and Huichun Valley are all supporting the war. The Sword Palace has also contributed a lot to the western battlefield. We are not fighting alone."

Chu Yunsi pouted: "They only provide money and supplies, and at most send a few disciples as a token gesture. Unlike us, we've practically moved our entire estate from Yunzhou to Shuozhou!"

Chu Zheng lit the secret letter over the candle flame, then crushed the ashes: "We have a request of the emperor, so we must do our best and not just leave as we please."

Xia Yuan paused in her tidying up of the teacups and looked up at Bai Yushen in the corner.

Bai Yushen lifted his lowered eyelids, his back subconsciously leaning forward away from the wall behind him, but he hesitated to take a step. After a few breaths, he slowly leaned back and lowered his eyelids again.

The man, who was usually unable to keep a secret, had no expression at this moment. The flickering candlelight shone through the lamp onto his profile, revealing only the shadows beneath his high brow bones.

Xia Yuan withdrew her gaze, placed the used teacup on the tray, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and slowly said, "Junior Sister, don't worry. The war will eventually end. Apart from the poorer conditions, life here is no different from before. We just need to cooperate when there is an operation. There is no great danger."

She smiled and said, "Besides, our resistance against the enemy and defense of our country is also to ensure that Yunzhou behind us can continue to be peaceful. Otherwise, once the dynasty falls, what good will happen to the prosperous and wealthy Yunzhou, which is right next to the capital?"

Chu Yunsi blinked, rested her chin on her hand, and sighed again: "You're right, Senior Sister. Actually, I wasn't complaining. I was just venting. We still have to fight this battle the way we always have to."

Bai Yushen remained standing with his eyes downcast, his right fingertips trembling slightly.

He Shi and Chu He exchanged a glance and both saw the smile in each other's eyes.

Chu Zheng, who had been deep in thought, looked up at the two girls, clapped his hands and laughed, "Yuan'er is right. Now that the Black Giants of the Pure Gate have been basically wiped out, there is not much danger in the entire Shuozhou region, except for going to the battlefield head-on. As long as we are careful, there is not much danger. Now that I have just 'died,' it is inconvenient for me to show my face. The second brother's injury has not yet healed, the third brother has to stay in the border city and be ready to go to the front line at any time, and this courtyard also needs someone to guard it. After counting, this mission can only be entrusted to the fifth brother. Fifth brother, do you have any questions?"

He Shi, who had been standing quietly listening to the conversation, looked up upon hearing this and paused for a moment before realizing what was happening.

Having been in the border town for so long, this was the first time he would actually face the enemy. He subconsciously puffed out his chest and said, "No problem, Master."

Chu Zheng nodded: "Be careful on the road. Remember, always put your safety first. If you can't complete the mission, there are other ways to make up for it."

He Shi hummed in agreement and stood up: "Then I'll go pack my things now, and we'll leave after dinner."

He greeted his senior brothers and sisters, and was about to leave when Chu Zheng called out to him, "Wait."

He Shi turned around.

Chu Zheng: "If it's convenient for Miss He, please ask her to accompany you. It's quick and safe."

Can't it be both fast and safe?

It only took the time it took to open the door to arrive.

He Shi was taken aback, then smiled and said, "I'll ask my sister."

Chu Zheng nodded with relief and waved his hand with a smile: "Go ahead."

In another world, however, He Yu, whom Chu Zheng had placed complete trust in, was now facing a problem.

She stood in front of the elevator, staring at the two tightly sealed metal doors and the faintly lit red buttons beside them, her mind suddenly went blank.

This thing is called an elevator... How do you ride it again?

Perhaps she had been frozen for too long, because Han Qi, who had been standing behind her, stepped forward, transferred half of the large and small bags from his left hand to his right hand, and pressed the up key with some difficulty.

With a "ding," the elevator doors opened, and Han Qi stepped in first. He then raised his arm to block the door and looked at He Yu, who was still standing there dumbfounded: "What are you standing there for? Come in. Who was it that was just yelling that they were starving?"

"Oh...okay."

He Yu followed his example, walked through the door, turned around to face the outside, and stood there blankly.

A moment later, a hand reached out from behind her and pressed the floor and close button.

The elevator doors closed and began to ascend.

He Yu's brain, which had been malfunctioning, restarted at this moment, and he immediately remembered how to use the elevator.

Then I realized how silly I was for standing in front of the floor for so long without pressing the floor number.

She slowly turned around and, as expected, met Han Qi's condescending gaze, as if looking down at a fool.

"..."

She slowly turned her head back, closed her eyes with a look of utter despair.

Slow down, we must slow down...

I'll be a dog if I log into games again!

After exiting the elevator, He Yu was the first to raise her hand and press the doorbell. After pressing it, she turned around and glanced at Han Qi.

I will answer this question.

Han Qi: "?"

Hao Mei opened the door with a big smile: "You're back?"

He Yu: "Happy birthday, teacher's wife!"

At the same time, he handed over the bouquet of flowers he had been holding.

"Wow, the color scheme of these flowers is so beautiful! Xiaoyu's taste is always on point!"

Hao Mei's smile widened.

Han Qi: "My hand is about to be strangled. Can we go inside and talk?"

"Squeamish."

Hao Mei glared at him, then instantly put on a smile and stepped aside to let the two of them in.

"Knock on!"

The heavy security door closed, shutting out the warm atmosphere and aroma of food that filled the house with laughter and conversation.

------

The night was quiet and cold, with thick, dark clouds in the sky, and no moon or stars.

He Shi leaned against a rock about half his height and threw a broken branch into the campfire in front of him.

A thick wooden stick was placed above the campfire, with a kettle hanging from it.

The kettle is quite old, but the surface has few scratches and is polished to a shine, showing how much its owner cherishes it.

He Shi bent one leg back and raised the other, resting his elbow on his knee, holding a twig in his hand, staring intently at the kettle, lost in thought.

A moment later, he took off the kettle, casually put on a piece of clothing, and unscrewed the lid. A wisp of white steam rose from the spout.

I didn't care that my palms were scalded red. After the kettle cooled down a little, I tilted my head back and took a sip of the boiled water.

Then he reached into the bundle beside him, took out a piece of flatbread, and took a bite with water.

This place is truly vast, and the howling of wolves echoes from the deep darkness in the distance.

He Shi leaned back against the rock, holding a teapot in one hand and a cake in the other, gazing at the gloomy sky.

What is my sister busy with?

Including tonight, it's been three days since I last came here.

It's so annoying, I can't sleep at night in the wilderness.
