On the way back to the manor, You Bai clearly felt that her young lady’s mood had improved a lot, so she dared to tease her.

“Not only is Young General Xiao fine, but he also made a great contribution. Miss, are you relieved now?” she said with a smile.

Yuan Yuwan glanced at her. “When did I say I was worried about him?”

“Oh, you definitely weren’t worried.” You Bai shook her head exaggeratedly and pretended to be in deep thought. “I wonder who’s been so distracted these past two days. The person can even use salt instead of sugar when making snacks. It’s fine if they don’t turn the page after reading for a long time, but they prick their hands the moment they pick up a needle and thread…”

Speaking of this, You Bail s heart ached. If not for the fact that there were not many things in the village that could pass the time, she would have hidden the needlework basket long ago.

“I was worried about Jiajia. She’s a girl…”

You Bails eyes widened and she stared at her. “Continue, I don’t believe you.” she thought.

Yuan Yuwan felt a little embarrassed by her gaze. She reached out to tickle her.

“I’ve really spoiled you too much. You’re starting to tease me.”

“Haha!” You Bai curled up into a ball and laughed until tears came to her eyes. She hurriedly asked for mercy, “Miss, please spare me. I was wrong. You’re worried about Madam Song, not Young General Xiao.”

Yuan Yuwan was speechless.

As the master and servant chatted and laughed, the carriage returned to the manor.

You Bai helped Yuan Yuwan out of the car and saw that she was looking in a certain direction.

“Miss, what are you looking at?” She followed her gaze.

Under the rain, a small wooden house stood quietly.

“Eh, isn’t that the wooden house that Young General Xiao built back then? He even lived there for a long time back then.”

To be precise, ever since Yuan Yuwan moved to the manor, Xiao Qirui had lived there most of the time before the expedition.

The wooden house was not far from their village. It was built on a small hill and could be seen when one looked up from the courtyard. Similarly, standing in front of the wooden house, one could see everything in the village.

Yuan Yuwan retracted her gaze. “It’s been raining for a few days in a row. I’m afraid the house is going to leak. Tomorrow, hire a few people to repair it. It’s inconvenient to work in the rain. You can give them more money.”

“Yes.” Receiving Yuan Yuwan’s warning gaze, You Bai stuck out her tongue and quickly swallowed her teasing words. “I’ll go to the manor and ask who’s free tomorrow and make a reservation first.”

With that, she ran away with the umbrella.

Yuan Yuwan shook her head and laughed. She looked up at the wooden house again and tried her best to ignore the dull pain in her heart. She turned around and returned to the courtyard.

There was no mistake about the good news!

At Nanling Pass.

The eastern city gate, which had experienced a huge battle, was devastated. Broken limbs could be seen everywhere. The soldiers and medical officers were methodically cleaning up the mess.

Because the military doctor’s tent was close to the infirmary, many military doctors were killed by the crazy soldiers last night. Fortunately, Xuanyuan Ce had brought many medical officers with him this time, so there was no need to worry.

However, although the two countries were allies, there were some boundaries that could not be crossed. For example, the nearly 500,000 soldiers Xuanyuan Ce brought did not enter the pass. Instead, they went to the valley where the Wu Kingdom’s army was originally camped and occupied the tents that they did not have time to burn when they evacuated.

As for Xuanyuan Ce, he left the task of settling the soldiers to Old General Ye and brought Chu Feng and Chu Sheng to the general’s residence.

Speaking of Chu Sheng, his name should be Chu Lin now.

Actually, on the first day Xuanyuan Ce saw him, he had been asked by General Shang of the Wu Kingdom to think of a way to bring Xuanyuan Ce into Lin’an City in exchange for the lives of his family.

Xuanyuan Ce originally wanted to enter Lin’an City and attack from the inside. After some consideration, he decided to beat them at their own game.

When General Shang was feeling smug because he had caught him and let down his guard, his Demon Guards had already rescued the captured city guards in Lin’an City.

Coupled with the army led by General Ye outside, they directly wiped out General Shang’s 200,000-strong army at once. They did not even have time to send out any news.

This was also why Yan Guangmao had no idea.

Chu Sheng had made a great contribution. Xuanyuan Ce gave him the name Chu Lin according to the agreement. Seeing that he was quite smart, he simply stayed by his side.

This time, he followed him to Nanling Pass.

Song Jingchen was seriously injured this time. Putting aside his external injuries, Yan Guangmao’s attack almost shattered his internal organs.

After returning from the battlefield, he forced himself to make appropriate arrangements before falling into a coma..
