After discussion between my grandfather and my two uncles, my two uncles and my eldest brother would lead the troops to the northern border, while my grandfather, who was too old, would stay in the capital.

After three days, everyone packed up and Feng Qi reluctantly followed his two uncles to the northern border.

"Tell me about this child. It would be great if she could live in the general's mansion. We can take care of her this way. Why would she have to go to the North with her uncle?"

Shen said as she wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Sister-in-law, don't be sad. There's nothing wrong with letting the child change his environment. It's just that the cold and bitter weather at the border is not as bad as in the capital. The child will suffer again."

Yan said to Shen while comforting her.

Only General Xiao and his wife and Xiao Zhenhai knew the real purpose of Feng Qi's trip.

This was what Feng Qi specifically told them, so everyone else thought she had gone to the border.

It took about half a month to travel from the capital to Yancheng, and most of the food and lodging along the way was spent in the carriage, which made the spoiled Feng Qi suffer a lot.

Although she gritted her teeth and persevered, she still slowed down her pace, which made her feel very embarrassed.

During the journey, the eldest brother was afraid that she would be too bored alone, so he always came to the carriage to keep her company. Because she was going to become a disciple this time, Biyun stayed in the general's mansion.

Xiao Qianyi found some red wild fruits from somewhere that day and handed them to her, "Sister Qi'er, try them quickly. They are so sweet."

Feng Qi took it and tasted it. "It's so sweet. Thank you, big brother."

"It will take about two days to get to Yancheng, so you can have a good rest. Walking such a long distance suddenly must have exhausted my sister Qi'er."

Feng Qi looked at the smiling young man in front of him, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but was willing to follow his father to the border.

"Big brother, why do you want to join the army instead of studying in the academy like the second and third brothers?"

"Sister Qi'er, do you know who I admire the most?" Xiao Qianyi asked instead of answering.

"Is it my grandfather? He spent his whole life in military service, protecting millions of ordinary people and safeguarding the country of Dongpeng." Feng Qi replied.

Xiao Qianyi shook his head and said, "My grandfather guarded the border for the country and the people. I admire him very much, but the one I admire most is His Royal Highness the current Xuan Wang!"

"Your Highness King Xuan?" Feng Qi was a little surprised.

"That's right. His Highness Xuan Wang fought on the battlefield when he was ten years old. In three years, he recovered the lost territories and cities of Dongpeng Kingdom from Xiyan, Beirong, and Nanchu."

"They were defeated repeatedly and had no choice but to sign a truce agreement, which brought them ten years of peace on the border and the people living and working in peace and contentment."

"The Xuan King is a legendary figure on the battlefield. I want to fight on the battlefield like His Majesty the Xuan King, defending my country."

Xiao Qianyi said proudly.

"With so many brilliant achievements, it must have been a journey of hardship."

Feng Qi looked at Xiao Qianyi and said, "Big brother, no matter what kind of person you want to be, I just hope you can be safe and sound."

"Don't worry, your brother is still here to protect you. You take a rest, I'll go out and take a look first." After saying that, he turned around and got off the carriage.

"Si Xuan, wait for me," Feng Qi thought silently in his heart.

After walking for another two days, we finally arrived at Yancheng, where the Northwest Army was stationed.

"Qian Yi, take Qi'er to the mansion to rest first. Your second uncle and I will go to the military camp." Xiao Zhenhai came to her carriage and instructed.

Feng Qi got off the carriage and looked towards Xiao Zhenhai and said, "Don't worry, uncle. Qi'er will go back to the mansion and wait for you first."

"Don't worry, Dad. I will take good care of sister Qi'er." Xiao Qianyi also got off the horse.

After that, everyone separated at the city gate. Xiao Zhenhai led a large group of people to the military camp, leaving behind a few guards to escort them into the city.

"Sister Qi'er, let's go too. We will be at our residence in Yancheng in about a quarter of an hour."

After saying that, he was the first to jump onto the horse, looking very cool and free.

Feng Qi followed closely behind and got on the carriage, heading into the city.

After returning to the mansion, Xiao Qianyi arranged accommodation for her and told the servants to take good care of her, letting her have a good rest first.

Feng Qi first expressed his gratitude, then asked someone to prepare hot water. After washing up, he went to the room to rest.

Although she slowed down on the road to take care of her, these twenty days still exhausted her.

Before she fell asleep, she seemed to hear a noisy quarrel outside the house, which made it difficult for her to fall asleep.

"I heard that Brother Xiao brought back a little girl, and I just want to meet her," said the girl in red outside the house.

The servants in the mansion didn't dare to stop her, nor did they dare to let her in, which made her feel very embarrassed.

I could only ask, "Miss Yun, please don't embarrass me. The young master said that no one can disturb the young lady's rest."

"Don't worry, Brother Xiao won't blame you." After saying that, he was about to go in despite the people around him trying to stop him.

Just as he was about to raise his hand to push the door, it opened from the inside. Their eyes met, and they were both looking at each other.

Feng Qi looked at the woman in front of her who was two or three years older than her. She was wearing a fiery red dress, had black hair like ink, a graceful figure, and skin as white as cream.

Her black hair was simply tied up with a red ribbon, and her round oval face had willow-shaped eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a delicate nose and cherry lips. She looked so heroic at first glance.

Yun Qianqian also looked at Feng Qi and was truly shocked.

She was wearing a light green dress that smelt fragrant in the wind, she was extremely beautiful, and when she looked around, she was graceful and charming, and she was stunningly beautiful.

Like a lotus flower emerging from water, she is pure and smooth, with skin as white as cream and as soft as warm jade, eyebrows as slender as willows, eyes as clear as water, and a hint of worry in her eyes that makes people pity her.

Although she is still young, it is not difficult to imagine how stunningly beautiful she will be when she grows up.

"Miss, is there anything I can help you with?" Feng Qi interrupted the woman opposite him.

Yun Qianqian came back to her senses and coughed a few times. "Well, uh... I heard that Brother Xiao brought back a little girl. I just wanted to come and see her. I didn't mean to disturb your rest."

Looking at this angel-like girl, Yun Qianqian couldn't help but control her flamboyant temper and could only explain in a soft voice.

"Well, I am really tired after rushing here from the capital. I have never been far away. Big brother also wants me to have a good rest, so he told them not to let anyone disturb me."

Feng Qi understood in her heart that this girl must like the older brother.

"Big brother? Who are you?" Yun Qianqian's brain couldn't react when she heard Feng Qi addressing Xiao Qianyi.

Feng Qi couldn't help but burst out laughing and replied, "Big brother is big brother, of course I am his sister, my name is Feng Qi, I don't know what to call Miss?"

Yun Qianqian felt a little embarrassed. It was all her fault that she came to his house without knowing anything and disturbed his sister's rest. She wondered if he would blame her.

Seeing Feng Qi being so generous, she said without hesitation: "My name is Yun Qianqian, and my father is the mayor of Yancheng. I just heard the news that Master Xiao has returned. Please forgive me for being impolite."
