Madam General, please run slower.

"So what's the general's plan now?"

"The palace has been urging me to withdraw my troops, but I have been dragging my feet. There is a larger pirate hideout nearby, and I will not feel at ease unless I eliminate it. When this battle is over, I will have to go back even if I don't want to, otherwise I will be accused of being a rebel."

Yu Xun smiled sarcastically. Their Yu family had fought for the Qianwu Kingdom throughout their entire lives, but a simple false accusation could wipe out all their loyalty and achievements.

Just because of the emperor's suspicion.

Just because of one sentence that made his master feel overwhelmed.

Taiping was originally decided by the general, and the general was not allowed to see Taiping.

Feeling the depressed mood of the people around him, Li recalled the outrageous words spoken by someone by the river that day, and he coughed twice and repeated:

"I, Yu Xun, and the entire Yu Family Army!"

Yu Xun's intuition told him that something was wrong, but before he could do anything, Li continued speaking.

"I am protecting the peace of this warm land and being loyal to the well-being of hundreds of millions of people. I don't care who sits in that position at all!"

The tone and pause, the look and gesture, can’t be said to be very similar to Yu Xun’s, they are exactly the same.

Yu Xun: ! !

Yu Xun felt his ears burning and reached out to cover Qu Tangli's mouth. He didn't feel anything was wrong when he said that, but now why did he feel a little ashamed when he heard her say that?

Li slightly turned sideways to avoid the hand that Yu Xun extended, and said teasingly: "Tell me! Where did you hide that high-spirited young general?"

Yu Xun was interrupted by Li, and the emotions that had just been brewing disappeared. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, "Stop it."

"I've strayed off topic. So where are you taking me, General?"

"Let's go, I'll show you the camp."

Yu Xun thought about it and finally decided that the military camp was the only place he could choose. He could feel more at ease on his territory.

"Camp?" Li stared at Yu Xun with a puzzled look on her face, always feeling that this man had some conspiracy. She even thought that Yu Xun would take her to the wilderness to climb the mountain, but she didn't expect that there would be the option of a camp.

Yu Xun: "Why are you looking at me like this? Aren't you curious about the military camp?"

"I dare not be curious~"

Li answered him sarcastically, "Don't think that just because you gave me a wooden hairpin, I will forget that you were spying on me."

"Ahem." Yu Xun choked at Li's strange tone and almost choked to death on his own saliva. "Let's go quickly, or it will be dark soon."

Inside the camp, everyone's eyes widened when they saw their stern general bringing a woman to visit the camp for the first time.

The soldiers who were performing training on the parade ground couldn't help but glance at the woman next to the general.

Their eyes were full of admiration and curiosity, as if they were guessing the identity and origin of this woman. Some of the brave ones even exchanged glances after stealing a glance, as if they were exchanging their thoughts with each other. When Yu Xun's eyes swept over, they would quickly look away and pretend nothing had happened.

Not to mention the soldiers under their command, even several generals could not help but be curious about Li's identity. It was not until they heard Wu Yu, who came to deliver the letter, respectfully called her "General's wife" that the generals suddenly retracted their gazes and dared not to glance around anymore, and severely reprimanded the soldiers under their command who were distracted.

"What's the matter?" Yu Xun frowned in annoyance. Wasn't it agreed that he could have a day off? Why did he have something else to deal with?

"A letter from the palace." Feeling Yu Xun's impatience, Wu Huang was also helpless.

Yu Xun glanced at Li beside him without saying anything. Li, however, spoke for him considerately, "General, go and do your work. If you are worried, let General Wu accompany me."

"Yes." Yu Xun took the letter from Wu Huang's hand, gave Wu Huang a few instructions, and then hurried to the tent.

"General's wife, is there anywhere else you'd like to go?" Wu Huang wanted to address her as Madam, but then he remembered how protective his general was of his own, so he could only awkwardly call her "General's wife".

Li shook his head. "I'm a little tired. Is there a place for me to rest?"

The spiritual power here was so weak that it was almost non-existent, and it could not attract Li's attention at all. In addition, the training in the military camp had to consider the majority of people, so the intensity was also much weaker. Therefore, for Li, the military camp was far less interesting than Yu Xun's Dark Guard Camp.

Wu Huang: "If the general's wife doesn't mind, why don't you rest in my tent for a while? The general should be done with his work soon."

Li: "Sure, please help, General Wu."

Wu Huang: "General's wife, you are too polite. Please come this way."

Wu Huang brought the person into the tent, asked someone to prepare tea, and then went about his own business.

I don't know what happened in the capital. Li was almost full of tea, but Yu Xun was still busy. Li was bored and twirled the wooden hairpin in her hand until the evening. Wu Huang came to send her back to the mansion, but Yu Xun didn't come out of the tent.

Seeing Wei Shiliu coming back alone, he asked curiously, "Where is the master?"

"Your master is busy in the military camp. Is dinner ready?" Li was now full of tea and felt very uncomfortable without any meat.

"Little princess, you haven't had your meal yet?" Wei Shiliu was a little shocked. How busy must the master be? Wouldn't he even treat people to a meal when he invites them out?

"That little princess." Wei Shiliu scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I thought the princess would go out for dinner, so I asked the kitchen to make some casual food, and we all ate it."

"Is there any meat in the kitchen? How about we roast some?" Li still missed the taste of the roasted meat that day. The meat roasted by Wei Shiliu was quite fragrant.

"There's half a pork in the kitchen!" When Wei Shiliu heard that Li wanted to eat roasted meat, his eyes lit up and his stomach, which had just finished its meal, began to feel hungry again.

"That's perfect. Let's eat in the courtyard. You can ask the kitchen to make some noodles for us."

"Noodles? What kind of noodles do you want?" The little princess didn't often eat noodles, and Wei Shiliu was not sure which kind she wanted to eat.

Li: "Longevity noodles, the kind you eat on birthdays."

"The little princess' birthday?! Today is the sixth day of March?" Wei Shiliu exclaimed, and pushed Li to sit on the recliner. "Little princess, don't bother. Let me know if you want anything. I'll go prepare the roast meat!"

Before Li could ask him how he knew his birthday, Wei Shiliu disappeared in a flash.

Li looked at his hands. Sometimes a plate of snacks appeared, and sometimes a cup of scented tea appeared. Wei Shiliu was so busy running back and forth that he almost left a shadow.

It was not until the bonfire in the yard was lit and the roasted meat was sizzling on the fire that Li got the chance to talk to Wei Shiliu.

"Xiao Shiliu, how do you know when my birthday is?"

"The little maidservant beside the princess told me." Wei Shiliu carefully turned the pork in his hand, fearing that it would be ruined in the slightest.

"Sister Mei?"

Wei Shiliu: "Yes, she specifically told me this before she left this time. She didn't know when we would be back, and she was afraid that we would miss the princess' birthday, so she told me."

"The maid said that you must not remember when your birthday is, so she asked me to help you remember it. If you can't go back to the general's mansion, let me celebrate your birthday outside. She also said that this is your first birthday after you wake up, so you must take it very seriously."

Wei Shiliu felt a little embarrassed when talking about this, "I'm sorry, little princess. I didn't notice that the time passed so quickly."

When he first arrived in Chaozhou, he was still counting the days, fearing that he would forget. But after arriving in Cuilan City, he stayed in this courtyard, living day after day, and he forgot what time it was.

"It's okay. If your master hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have remembered this."

Li rubbed her nose uncomfortably. She must have caught a cold outside today, otherwise why did her nose feel sore when she heard Wei Shiliu's words.
