It was already dark outside and there was no light in the tent, so it was pitch black.

Bai Zhiyuan tossed and turned the whole night. Although he knew it was a battle he would surely win, he couldn't help but worry.

She was lying on the bed in the tent, listening to the sound of wind and rain outside, and her heart seemed to be fighting on the battlefield with Xie Yunsong and her father.

I don’t know how much time had passed, the sky was beginning to turn white, and there was still no news.

Bai Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel anxious and wanted to go forward and see the battle situation in front of him personally.

After a long time, someone knocked on Bai Zhiyuan's tent door. Bai Zhiyuan hurriedly opened the door. The soldier at the door excitedly said, "County Master, we won!"

Bai Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and asked, "Where are the general and General Yunhui?"

The soldier replied: "They went to Zhoucheng and will be back soon."

Bai Zhiyuan finally felt relieved. After the soldiers left, she lay down on the couch again. It was a pity that she did not witness their victory with her own eyes. Thinking about this, perhaps she let go of her worries and fell into a deep sleep.

Bai Zhiyuan was not awakened until he heard very light footsteps outside.

She opened her hazy eyes and heard the voices of the crowd outside. Her thoughts gradually came back to her. She jumped up and rushed out.

As soon as she went out, she ran into Xie Yunsong who seemed to be waiting for her to wake up.

Seeing her coming, a smile appeared in Xie Yunsong's eyes. Bai Zhiyuan also smiled unconsciously and slowed down his pace to approach him.

It had only been one day since they last met, but Bai Zhiyuan felt like a long time had passed.

Xie Yunsong opened his arms towards her, and Bai Zhiyuan went forward and hugged him.

Xie Yunsong must have taken a shower, as there was no smell of blood on his body, but rather the familiar scent of sandalwood.

Bai Zhiyuan asked: "Didn't you say you went to Zhoucheng? Why are you back so soon?"

Xie Yunsong replied: "Your father was afraid that you would worry, so he asked me to come back first."

Bai Zhiyuan looked up and saw the tiredness in his eyes, so he hurriedly asked, "Since you're back, why don't you go and rest first?"

Xie Yunsong raised the corners of his lips and said, "I'm afraid you'll worry too."

Hearing this, Bai Zhiyuan tightened his arms, pressed his cheek against his warm chest, and listened to his steady, strong heartbeat, suddenly feeling at ease.

When the two were being affectionate, they suddenly heard a cough, Bai Zhiyuan looked in the direction where the sound came from and saw it was Bai Qiuze who had gotten up and was walking around.

When Bai Qiuze saw the two hugging each other, he was shocked at first, but then he understood. No wonder he felt that the two were weird. When did they secretly get married without telling him?

When Bai Zhiyuan saw Bai Qiuze walking towards her with a bad look on his face, her heart skipped a beat. Her brother had just woken up and she had not yet told him about her and Xie Yunsong. Now that her brother saw the two of them like this, he wondered if he would misunderstand Xie Yunsong.

As expected, when Bai Qiuze came over, he glared at Xie Yunsong and said angrily, "General Yunhui, why is he hugging my sister in broad daylight?"

Bai Zhiyuan quickly let go of the hand that was holding Xie Yunsong, pushed Bai Qiuze and said, "Brother, you go back first. I will explain to you later. I still have something to say to Xie Yunsong."

Bai Qiuze naturally didn't want to leave, and wanted to say something, but he saw Bai Zhiyuan pulling Xie Yunsong into her tent. Bai Qiuze was speechless for a moment, but still followed him in, angrily saying, "How could you bring a man to your own tent? How would it look if it got out?"

Bai Zhiyuan ignored him. Bai Qiuze was so angry that he had nowhere to vent. He turned to Xie Yunsong and said, "How can a dignified General Yunhui act like a pervert?"

Bai Zhiyuan was having a headache now. "I was the one who dragged him in. What on earth is my brother going to do?"

Bai Qiuze choked, not knowing how to refute. After a long pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "You are such a loser!"

Bai Zhiyuan laughed: "Brother, can't you see? I like General Xie, and he likes me too. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Bai Qiuze didn't seem to expect his sister to speak so bluntly. His face turned red and he said, "You...you guys..."

"Could it be that my sister has long admired him and therefore secretly went to the Northland?"

Xie Yunsong curled his lips and said, "I want to know the answer to this, too."

Bai Zhiyuan frowned and said, "How could that be possible? I went to the Northern Territory secretly because I wanted to go to the military camp. We fell in love with each other when we were together in the Northern Territory."

Bai Qiuze was doubtful and asked, "Really?"

Bai Zhiyuan said: "Of course it's true, brother, are you doubting me?"

Bai Qiuze asked again: "Do my parents know everything? Are you hiding it from me alone?"

Bai Zhiyuan said helplessly, "I confessed everything to my parents when I came to the Southern Territory. It was only because you were in a coma that I didn't tell you. But I definitely didn't mean to hide it from my brother."

Bai Qiuze finally felt better. He pulled Bai Zhiyuan over and said in a low voice, "Is he good to you? Has he bullied you? If he is not good to you, I will avenge you!"

Although he lowered his voice, Xie Yunsong, who was not far away, still heard it. Xie Yunsong had a smile in his eyes.

Bai Zhiyuan looked at Bai Qiuze, then at Xie Yunsong, blinked and said, "Brother, are you sure you can beat him?"

Bai Qiuze choked and scratched his head, saying, "Even if I can't beat him, I have to fight. If he treats you badly, I will risk my life to avenge you."

Bai Zhiyuan chuckled, but his heart was warm, "Okay, brother, General Xie is very kind to me. Can you go back and rest now?"

Bai Qiuze then coughed lightly and said, "In that case, I'll leave first."

After saying this, he gave Xie Yunsong a warning look before stepping out.

After Bai Qiuze left, Bai Zhiyuan said to Xie Yunsong: "Don't mind it, my brother is just like that."

Xie Yunsong stroked her hair and said, "Why would I mind? Ayuan has the best family in the world, I envy them so much."

Bai Zhiyuan was stunned, thinking that he might be thinking of his father and mother again.

She felt a little distressed, took a step forward, buried her head in his arms, and said: "My family is also your family, they all like you very much."

Xie Yunsong raised the corner of his mouth slightly and rested his chin on the crook of her neck.

Bai Zhiyuan knew that he was tired. He had not had a good rest since coming to the Southern Territory. She said, "Go to sleep for a while. I'll accompany you."

Xie Yunsong then took Bai Zhiyuan to his tent, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, slowly and steadily breathed, and fell asleep.

Bai Zhiyuan helped him cover the corner of the quilt, and seeing that his brows were still furrowed even when he was asleep, he couldn't help but reach out his hand to gently smooth them.

After doing all this, Bai Zhiyuan did not leave. She sat on the side of the bed, looking at his quiet sleeping face, breathing lightly, and at this moment, she suddenly felt extremely relieved.
