Reborn in ancient times: I will make my family rich

Chapter 144 Accompanying the Emperor in the Northern Expedition

"Miss Ning, you don't have to be polite. Sun is also responsible for this matter."

Sun Zhiyuan spoke with a gentle look on his face.

"Meeting is fate. Seeing how polite you two are, since Shopkeeper Sun and Sister Jiang know each other, why don't you have a meal together.

Han Yue hated other people's slow greetings, so she spoke to the two of them immediately.

"I am really busy today and cannot leave. Goodbye."

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhiyuan bowed to the three people with both hands, glanced at Jiang Nan and Han Yue calmly, then said goodbye and left.

After saying goodbye to the three people, Sun Zhiyuan got on the carriage and took off the smile on his face. He saw that Ning Yurou's face was blushing.

How could he not see the meaning behind the invitation when he was invited to dinner several times?

"Young master, the news has spread," the coachman whispered to Sun Zhiyuan in the carriage.

"Well, notify them to continue as planned.

Sun Zhiyuan's voice was faint in the carriage.

Ning Yurou felt a little disappointed when Sun Zhiyuan refused her, but she was also happy that they were officially meeting today.

"Sister Ning, everyone has left. Let's go back and eat. I'm almost starving."

Han Yue covered her stomach and said pitifully.

"Well, let's go, the food should be ready."

Ning Yurou withdrew her gaze and spoke with a smile.

Jiang Nan, who was standing aside, had a full view of Ning Yurou's every move.

Sister Ning was afraid that she had fallen into this trap, but seeing Sun Zhiyuan's indifferent attitude, she hoped that Sister Ning would not get hurt in the future.

A bystander sees things more clearly, and Jiang Nan saw it clearly from the sidelines.

I'm afraid Sun Zhiyuan doesn't have this idea.

After the meal, the three of them stayed in the manor for the whole afternoon. Near dusk, Ning Yurou asked someone to drive the two away.

Ning Yurou stayed at this farm today.

After seeing Jiang Nan and the other two off, Ning Yurou couldn't help but look towards the courtyard next door.

I don't know if he's back yet.

Because Jiang Nan lived nearby, the driver sent Jiang Nan home first.

As soon as Jiang Nan got out of the car, Qingying heard the noise in the yard from inside the house and hurried over to greet him.

"Girl, you are back. Have you heard about General Gu?"

"What happened to Gu Yanzhou?"

Seeing Qingying's serious expression, Jiang Nan's smile froze on his face.

"Marquis Pingyang is dead, and Gu Yunting led the remaining soldiers to fight their way out of the siege and join the northern garrison. Only 3,000 soldiers are left out of the tens of thousands of troops. The current emperor has decided to lead the troops himself, and General Gu will accompany him."

Hearing this, Jiang Nan's heart skipped a beat. As a general of a country, what is bound to happen will eventually happen, especially when the country is caught up in a war.

"Did you mention the departure date?"

Jiang Nan suppressed his emotions and asked Qingying.

"Today's notice states that the troops will be called up tomorrow and will set out the day after tomorrow. The affairs of the court will be temporarily handed over to the emperor's younger brother, Prince Su, to manage the government.

Because it concerned Gu Yanzhou, Qingying told Jiang Nan everything she had heard today.

Jiang Nan's body swayed slightly, his mind felt like it exploded, and his face looked extremely ugly.

Qingying quickly reached out to support Jiang Nan, fearing that he would fall.

"I'm fine," Jiang Nan returned to his room in a daze.

Gu Yanzhou is definitely not in the neighboring mansion now. As a general, he must be making preparations in the army, but Jiang Nan believes that Gu Yanzhou will definitely come to see him.

Since returning home, Jiang Nan has not gone anywhere before Gu Yanzhou went to the battlefield. She was afraid that she would not be there when Gu Yanzhou came.

She knew well how fragile life was in the face of war.

Until the middle of the night on the day before the army set out, when Jiang Nan's expectations had completely disappeared, he was lying in bed when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the yard.

"Qingying, Qingying," Rong Xin's voice rang out in the yard.

Jiang Nan sat up from the bed, looking somewhat puzzled. Could it be that Gu Yanzhou was too busy to come over, so he asked Rong Xin to pass on the message?

But shouldn't this message be passed on to her? How did it get to Qingying?

Jiang Nan stood up, put on his clothes, and wanted to go out for a look. His mind was only on Rong Xin, and he didn't notice the footsteps coming towards his bedroom.

Jiang Nan had just stood up when the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside.

"Squeak!" Jiang Nan heard the sound and looked over, he saw Gu Yanzhou in a silver armor, which set off his heroic figure. His aura was as strong as the sun. A pair of eyes as bright as cold stars under his sword-like eyebrows stared at Jiang Nan, as if he could never see enough of him.

The two looked at each other. Jiang Nan stood there without moving, just looking at Gu Yanzhou. He had so many emotions in his heart that he didn't know how to express them. His eyes became moist for some reason.

When Gu Yanzhou saw Jiang Nan like this, his heart trembled violently, and he strode forward and hugged Jiang Nan in his arms.

Jiang Nan pressed her cheek against Gu Yanzhou's armor and felt it was cold, just like her heart.

Jiang Nan hugged Gu Yanzhou back, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and tears flowed down the corners of his eyes.

Jiang Nan didn't say anything, and Gu Yanzhou didn't notice anything unusual about Jiang Nan.

"The North is in danger. I have to accompany His Majesty on the expedition. I have no idea when I will be back."

Gu Yanzhou placed his head on the crook of Jiang Nan's neck and organized his words for a long time. Although he was reluctant, as a general of Lengyue Kingdom, this was his responsibility. Gu Yanzhou spoke reluctantly.

If the last sentence had not been spoken into Jiang Nan's ear, the voice would probably have been too low to be heard.

The two had discussed this issue before and both had an idea of ​​it in mind.

"You left in such a hurry. I made you some emergency medicine when I heard the news. Take it with you."

Jiang Nan wiped the tears from her face, not wanting Gu Yanzhou to see this scene.

Then he let go of Gu Yanzhou and took out the medicine he had prepared in the past two days. The efficacy of the medicine was at least better than that of this era.

"This is hemostatic medicine, this is medicine for wounds, and there is also medicine for bruises and injuries," Jiang Nan introduced the small medicine bottles to Gu Yanzhou one by one.

When Gu Yanzhou saw that Jiang Nan cared about him so much, he felt a warm feeling in his heart.

"Okay, I'll take them all."

Gu Yanzhou reached out and took the medicine from Jiang Nan's hand and put it on the table.

"You have to take good care of yourself when I'm not around. If you have any problems or don't have enough money, you can ask Butler Li for help, or go to the housekeeper next door.

Gu Yanzhou held Jiang Nan's hand and gave him worried instructions word by word.

"Silly boy, you've given me so many stores, how can I be short of money?"

Jiang Nan looked at Gu Yanzhou, who was still thinking about her at this time, and found it funny and a little sad. She lowered her head to hide her serious emotions, and her tears fell uncontrollably to the ground.

"Don't cry," Gu Yanzhou gently held Jiang Nan's little face in his hands and wiped away the tears on her face with one hand. The moment he touched Jiang Nan's tears, his heart was broken and he was at a loss as to what to do to coax Jiang Nan.

"Okay." The more Gu Yanzhou said this, the more Jiang Nan felt reluctant and afraid of losing him.

"when are you leaving."

"We have two more hours to go and join the army for reorganization, and then we will set out from the city gate to the north at dawn."

As Gu Yanzhou spoke, he stroked Jiang Nan's little face from time to time with his palm, and looked at Jiang Nan with his black eyes without blinking.

"Well, you must come back safely, and don't forget that I'm still waiting for you." Jiang Nan's voice was trembling but firm. They only had two short hours to spend together.

Jiang Nan put his hands on Gu Yanzhou's shoulders, stood on tiptoe, and pressed his lips against Gu Yanzhou's thin lips.
