"Younan!" A hoarse voice came out from Lu Xiuyuan's cracked lips. He slowly stretched out his hands to her, tears in his eyes, "Come here..."

The worries of many days, the longing that accumulated day by day, and the grievances one after another burst out when he said "come here".

Xia Younan couldn't hold it in any longer, burst into tears on the spot, and ran towards him.

It was just like the time when she went to Lion and Tiger Mountain due to a misunderstanding and he stayed up for three days and three nights without sleeping, eating or drinking, just to see her earlier.

"Husband!!"

Xia Younan threw herself into Lu Xiuyuan's arms, hugged him tightly, and burst into tears.

Lu Xiuyuan was also in tears. Only at this moment did he realize that ever since he had parted with her in the capital, his mountains of longing for her had finally been completely vented out.

This is his Younan, and only she can relieve his lovesickness!

No one, even someone with the exact same face as hers, could do it.

"I miss you!"

The "female general" who had just been decisive and fearless on the battlefield, now looked like a wronged child, hugging her husband and crying.

"I miss you too. I miss you so much that I'm going crazy!" Lu Xiuyuan responded enthusiastically, hot tears dripping down his weathered face.

"My baby, you've lost weight." Lu Xiuyuan held up Xia Younan's tearful face and wiped away the blood that splashed on her cheek. "You've lost a lot of weight. Your face has become smaller."

"How dare you say that to me." Xia Younan also looked at his haggard face and burst into tears out of heartache.

Lu Xiuyuan hugged her again, his heart aching. He had thousands of words to say to her and countless questions to ask her, but he didn't know how to start.

"Are you all okay?" Chanmu and a group of fellow brothers rushed over from the mountain and asked them with concern.

Lu Xiuyuan and Xia Younan shook their heads together. Even though there were people surrounding them, they were reluctant to part with this hard-earned embrace.

"Husband, you and the soldiers are hungry, right? The food and fodder team is behind us and will be here soon. You and the soldiers will never have to go hungry again." Xia Younan said with a slight sob.

Lu Xiuyuan nodded in agreement, leaving the aftermath to Su Yu and Chen Yi, and wanted to take Xia Younan into the city to rest. They were all exhausted these days.

Xia Younan looked at the devastation and sighed. He made arrangements with Su Yu, "You should have a good rest. Then, take people to find a good feng shui spot on the mountain and dig a mass grave, one for each person, to bury all the bodies."

"Okay." Su Yu and Chen Yi agreed.

Chanmu and the other monks did not go into the city with Xia Younan. They meditated on the spot, facing the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and chanted scriptures for the salvation of souls.

Mr. and Mrs. Lu Xiuyuan hadn't slept well for several months. Now that the crisis has been resolved, they can finally put the worry down.

The two returned to Lu Xiuyuan's room in the city, hugged each other without saying a word, and fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was two days later.

After waking up, Lu Xiuyuan asked Xia Younan why he appeared here and what happened after leaving the capital.

When she heard him ask Xia Younan how aggrieved she was, she did not hide anything and told him everything that had happened since she left Beijing.

Including how she was bullied by Tang Guojing; how she challenged him in a duel; how she risked her life to take the heads of the generals of Yanggu and Yuhua cities; and how Tang Guojing still cheated after he came back, secretly taking away the three armies, leaving her with only some weak soldiers and generals.

And later, when Yin Xue appeared, she told him everything about how she trained the wild wolves and how she formulated the combat plan.

After listening to her story, Lu Xiuyuan felt both distressed and admired. He felt distressed because his beloved wife put herself in dangerous situations several times for him.

She has always had a hot temper and is arrogant, but she was bullied again and again by Tang Guojing. However, in order to borrow troops to rescue him, she suppressed her grievances and endured it again and again.

What he admired was that his wife was much smarter than he had imagined, and it was no exaggeration to say that she was "resourceful".

As a woman, she was able to enter the enemy city alone, take the head of the enemy general and escape safely; she was able to set up a "counter-espionage plan" to make the enemy kill each other without sacrificing a single soldier; she had never been on the battlefield, but dared to lead troops and go into battle, and remained unscathed under the siege of 160,000 troops.

Younan is both intelligent and brave, and even Lu Xiuyuan himself thinks he is no match for him.

"I'm so pissed off, that old bastard Tang Guojing!"

Xia Younan still hated Tang Guojing and angrily complained to Lu Xiuyuan.

Lu Xiuyuan was also furious and said directly: "Tang Guojing did not come to rescue, ignored me and my 70,000 troops, and deliberately made things difficult for you and tortured you to death. I will never let him go!"

"Then what are you going to do with him?" Xia Younan asked sullenly, nestling in his arms.

"Before you told me all this, I was only planning to punish him for dereliction of duty, strip him of his generalship, and demote him to an ordinary soldier.

"But after knowing what he did to you, if I don't kill him, it will be hard to make up for the injustice you suffered for me!"

Lu Xiuyuan was so angry that his eyes were wide open, and he had the intention to kill Tang Guojing.

Xia Younan was stunned, lowered his head and thought for a long time, then curled his lips and decided to consider the overall situation.

She believed that Tang Guojing had led troops for many years and had a very high prestige in the army. Although Lu Xiuyuan had won the hearts of many soldiers with his strength, he was a newcomer after all and was definitely not as good as Tang Guojing, the "local tyrant".

Most iron-blooded men put righteousness first, and sometimes they may not be loyal to you just because you are capable.

She even felt that as long as Tang Guojing gave an order, at least one-third of Lingjiang Kingdom's troops would obey him.

Now the war was tense, and killing Tang Guojing or taking away his generalship would undoubtedly disrupt the formation. If a rebellion broke out, the enemy would take advantage of the situation and invade, and the consequences would be disastrous.

Xia Younan explained the interests of the matter to Lu Xiuyuan, but Lu Xiuyuan was unwilling to do so. He kept shouting that she could not be bullied in vain, saying that if he did not dare to take revenge after his wife was bullied, what kind of man was he?

Xia Younan rolled his eyes and thought for a moment, then smiled and said to him, "I didn't say I wouldn't take revenge. He went too far, and it's not my style to keep things quiet.

"How about this, when you see him, scare him first, and when someone begs for mercy, you can take advantage of the situation and have him beaten with a few hundred sticks."

Lu Xiuyuan frowned and thought about it after hearing this, but finally couldn't resist his wife's nagging and agreed.

All the new and old grudges will be settled once and for all after the war is over and I return to Beijing.

After Xia Younan finished her story, she couldn't wait to ask Lu Xiuyuan how he was trapped in Liangcheng. She thought her husband was brave and resourceful, and he shouldn't fall into the enemy's trap so easily.
