Night slowly fell, and the wind in the desert brought a bit of coolness. Du Yunsheng picked up a coat, gently draped it over Jiang Shaohan's shoulders, and said with concern: "Shaohan, it's late, we should go back."

Jiang Shaohan stood up, stroked the child's head, and turned to walk towards the tent. The moonlight fell like mercury, shining on them, and the desert night seemed particularly quiet and deep.

Back in the tent, Du Yunsheng lit the candle and poured a cup of hot tea for Jiang Shaohan. The two sat opposite each other, immersed in silence, enjoying this rare peace.

"Yun Sheng, what kind of person do you think our child will grow up to be?" Jiang Shaohan suddenly asked in a low voice.

Du Yunsheng pondered for a moment and replied with a smile: "I hope he can be as brave and strong as you and protect this land. But I also hope he can have an ordinary life, unlike us, who have to go through countless wars."

Jiang Shaohan gently held Du Yunsheng's hand, his eyes full of tenderness: "I hope so too. However, in this chaotic world, an ordinary life is also a luxury. All we can do is to do our best to protect him and let him grow up safely."

Late at night, the candlelight in the tent flickered, illuminating their faces. They listened quietly to the wind in the desert, their hearts filled with infinite expectations for their child.

The next day, the sun rose from the east, and the temperature in the desert gradually rose. Du Yunsheng took the children and prepared to explore the nearby oasis. Before leaving, Jiang Shaohan warned: "Yunsheng, there are dangers everywhere in the desert, you must be careful."

Du Yunsheng smiled and nodded, and took the child on the journey to the oasis. Although the scenery of the desert was monotonous, the laughter of the children added endless fun to this boring journey.

In the oasis, clear spring water gurgles, green grass is full of vitality. The child runs excitedly on the grass, chasing the dancing butterflies. Du Yunsheng sits by the spring, staring at the child's back, his heart filled with peace and tranquility.

In the afternoon of the oasis, the sunlight was like fine gold, shining through the blue sky and gently falling on Du Yunsheng. She gently closed her eyes and bathed in the warmth. The worries in her heart seemed to be gently blown away by the children's laughter. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the children's unrestrained figures, and a faint feeling of nostalgia surged in her heart.

In those years, she was still a little girl in the General Zhengxi's mansion, following her brother closely every day, imitating his martial arts moves and listening to his heroic deeds on the battlefield. She had imagined that she could also become a warrior, like her brother, guarding the peace of her homeland.

"Yun Sheng, look over there!" The child's clear voice woke her up from her memories. She looked in the direction the child pointed and saw a group of camels slowly approaching in the distance, like a moving castle in the desert.

She stood up and said to the child, "Those are the camels of the caravan. They traveled thousands of miles and brought many rare treasures that are hard to find here. Let's go and see them together."

The child ran over excitedly, and Du Yunsheng followed closely. When they arrived at the camel, they saw merchants busy unloading all kinds of goods, and a dazzling array of treasures covered the ground. The child's eyes sparkled with curiosity and surprise, he had never seen so many new things.

At this time, a dusty businessman came over and said to Du Yunsheng and the child with a smile: "Madam, young master, hello. I am a businessman from the Western Regions. I brought many specialties with me. I wonder if you are interested."

Du Yunsheng smiled politely: "We are just here to appreciate it and learn about the customs and practices of the Western Regions."

The merchant nodded and began to introduce his goods in detail. Du Yunsheng and the child listened while selecting some small items. Suddenly, the child picked up an exquisite jade pendant, and a hint of love flashed in his eyes that was difficult to conceal.

"Yun Sheng, I want this!" the child shouted excitedly.

Du Yunsheng looked at the jade pendant, then looked at the child's eyes, and her heart moved slightly. She knew that the child didn't like many things, and this jade pendant obviously had a special meaning to him.

"Since you like it, buy it." Du Yunsheng said, taking out a silver coin from his sleeve and handing it to the merchant.

The merchant took the silver coin and handed the jade pendant to the child with a smile: "My dear, this jade pendant is a specialty of our Western Regions. I hope you like it."

The child took the jade pendant and held it carefully in his palm, as if he was holding a priceless treasure. Du Yunsheng looked at the child and couldn't help but smile.

As the sun gradually set, the wind in the desert began to blow again. Du Yunsheng brought the children back to the tent, where Jiang Shaohan was already waiting. Seeing them come back, he stood up to greet them.

"Where have you been? I've been waiting for a long time." Jiang Shaohan asked with concern.

Du Yunsheng smiled gently: "We went to explore the oasis, the children were very happy there."

Jiang Shaohan looked at the jade pendant in the child's hand, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "What is this?"

The child replied excitedly: "Daddy, this is the jade pendant I bought at Oasis, I like it very much."

Jiang Shaohan took the jade pendant, examined it carefully, and then handed it to Du Yunsheng: "Yunsheng, you really have an extraordinary vision. This jade pendant is really very beautiful."

Du Yunsheng smiled, her heart filled with happiness. In this chaotic world, it was a rare luxury for her and Jiang Shaohan to have such a warm home.

As night fell, the wind in the desert brought a slight chill. Du Yunsheng lit the candle and poured a cup of hot tea for Jiang Shaohan. The two sat in the tent, looking at the sleeping face of the child, their hearts filled with peace.

As night fell, after dinner, Du Yunsheng took the child for a walk on the oasis. The stars dotted the night sky, and the breeze brought a cool breeze. The child ran on the quiet grass, and Du Yunsheng followed quietly, his eyes full of love and protection.

At this time, a maid came over lightly and whispered to Du Yunsheng, "Madam, the prince has something important to discuss."

Du Yunsheng smiled gently and said to the child, "You play here, I will be back later." The child nodded obediently and continued to play on the grass. Du Yunsheng followed the maid into Jiang Shaohan's study.

In the study, Jiang Shaohan was sitting at the table with a letter in his hand. When Du Yunsheng entered, he looked up and said, "Yunsheng, come and take a look at this letter."

Du Yunsheng took the letter and read it carefully. The letter talked about the situation in the Western Regions and the recent situation of the caravan. After she finished reading, she handed the letter back to Jiang Shaohan and asked, "What is the meaning of this letter?"

Jiang Shaohan sighed and explained, "This is a letter from the Western Regions, which mentioned that the safety of the caravan has been threatened. The situation in the Western Regions has been turbulent recently, and caravans have been attacked repeatedly. I am worried that our caravan will not be spared."

Du Yunsheng couldn't help but feel worried when she heard this. She knew the importance of the caravan to the General's Mansion, which was not only related to the economy of the mansion, but also to the peace of the Western Regions.
