Coming out of the palace, Hao Yuan followed Dou Mansion's carriage on horseback. Fireworks were set off in the sky. Her heart moved and her horse passed by the carriage.

"This kid is so outrageous!" General Dou frowned in disapproval.

"Yeah, it's so outrageous. I don't know who I followed." With a glance from Madam Dou, General Dou blushed and hesitated to speak.

"Ahem, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Madam, would you like to travel with your husband?" General Dou coughed lightly and invited.

Mrs. Dou glanced at him: "Do you still think she is a teenager? Don't think I didn't see it. You have rubbed your lower back and knees several times tonight. Do you want to go with your arms? Lying in bed for half a month?"

General Dou shut up. Didn't he want to relive the memories of his youth with his wife? Hey, he is so old that his wife doesn't care about him anymore.

He thought so, but General Dou still raised the corners of his mouth in a good mood.

Hao Yuan rode all the way to the Qiu Mansion. At this time, the Qiu Mansion was still brightly lit, and since Mr. Qiu hadn't come back yet, the man's house was still waiting for him.

After tying the horse under a tree, Hao Yuan climbed over the wall and went to Qiu Wan's yard.

The courtyard where Qiu Wan lived was remote and there was no one there. The original owner had been there several times before and was not discovered every time. However, the original owner still had the sense to not enter Qiu Wan's boudoir.

Standing under a window, Hao Yuan knocked on the window wood.

Hearing Qiu Wan inside, she asked someone to step back. After a while, she heard a rustling sound before she came closer. The window was gently pushed open, revealing a gentle and charming face.

"Axun." Qiu Wan stuck her head out, with a smile on her face involuntarily.

"Xiao Wan, I wish you a worry-free new year and all the best." Hao Yuan smiled, took out a purse from her arms and handed it over.

"This is..." Qiu Wan put out her hand to take it with a touching smile on her lips.

"New Year's money."

"Axun, you're treating me like a child again. I'm already so old, why would you want..." Qiu Wan smiled as she opened the sachet. When she saw the contents inside, she was speechless.

"Here, Ah Xun, did you get the wrong one?" Qiu Wan looked at the house deed in her hand, feeling a little incomparable.

"Yes, this is for you." Seeing Qiu Wan about to return it, Hao Yuan stopped her.

"No, I can't accept this..." Qiu Wan felt that her hand holding the deed was getting hot.

"Xiao Wan, I've prepared these things a long time ago. You're welcome. Just take them and treat them like I'm adding makeup to you." Hao Yuan smiled.

"How can a fiancé... how can he add makeup like this, Ah Xun, don't tease me." It is unheard of for a fiancé to add makeup to his wife.

"Just accept it. This is the confidence Dou Xun gives you. If he bullies you or makes you unhappy in the future, you will have a way out." Hao Yuan said seriously.

This was indeed prepared by Dou Xun. He originally planned to give all these to Qiu Wan after they got married, but unfortunately he did not wait until that day.

Since ancient times, people's hearts are fickle, and Qiu Wan has never met parents who love her. Although Dou Xun believes that he will not change his heart, he still prepared an escape route for Qiu Wan. If there is a quarrel in the future, she will have a place to go.

"Don't talk nonsense. You are so kind to me, how could you bully me?" Qiu Wan defended subconsciously.

Hao Yuan was speechless. Although he was engaged, it still had to be decided whether the marriage would come true, so Hao Yuan still had to make plans for Qiu Wan's future.

"That's not certain. What if I make you angry? If you take this and if I do something wrong in the future, you will cut off my pocket money!"

"Axun!" Qiu Wan blushed and said coquettishly.

"Then I'm leaving." Hao Yuan gestured to leave.

"Hey, wait!" Qiu Wan quickly stopped, and after Hao Yuan came back, she left from the window.

After a while, Qiu Wan ran back again, with sweat on her forehead. She must have been in a hurry to find something.

"Here you go, a New Year's gift." Qiu Wan handed over a breast mirror with an inscription engraved on it and a faint scent of sandalwood.

"I specifically asked the master of Gui Chan Temple to consecrate it. You always said you wanted to be a general like General Dou. This breast mirror..." Qiu Wan whispered.

"So you still remember that I will bring this breast shield. Thank you Xiaowan." If the original owner was here, I don't know how happy he would be.

After saying a few more words to Qiu Wan, seeing that it was getting late, Hao Yuan secretly climbed over the wall and left Qiu Mansion.

After the New Year, other officials have holidays, but the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division does not. It is responsible for the security of the whole city, but fortunately they can work in shifts. You work today and I will work tomorrow.

The Lantern Festival will be here in a few days, and the capital is still so lively.

But the court hall was no longer lively, and even a little cold. The reason was that the Xiongnu invaded repeatedly and massacred several border villages a year ago!

Because of the Chinese New Year, when all families were happy, there was a backlog of reports, but the paper could not cover the fire, and the Holy Spirit still knew it.

"I celebrated the New Year with joy, but my people were brutally slaughtered. When I celebrated the family reunion, they were miserable and helpless. You deserve to die!" The emperor was furious in the main hall and scolded the officials who had piled up memorials. .

But after the anger breaks out, you still have to come up with a solution.

"The Huns have repeatedly invaded because of the drought and lack of food there. Why don't we release food to appease them..." This was the peacemaker. Before he could finish his words, he was scolded by another minister.

"You fart! The Huns have slaughtered my people, Dayan, and you still want to give them food?" What followed was a string of unbearable curses.

The emperor took back what he was about to say. He wanted to curse just now, but he was definitely not as quick as the minister.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the Huns are ambitious and will only surrender if they are defeated. Why not send troops quickly to fight them back!"

The people in the court who were in charge of peace were scolded so much that they couldn't speak. The person who was in charge of fighting had the upper hand. The next step was to decide on the candidates for the expedition.

Originally, General Dou was a master of military affairs and had military power, so it was natural for him to go on an expedition. However, General Dou was old and had consulted the imperial doctor several times. The emperor knew about his current physical condition, and he might not have reached the border yet. About to fall on the hospital bed.

General Dou still wanted to show off his strength and go to the palace to request an order. He was willing to send troops to the border, but his actions were not as fast as Hao Yuan's. When he knew it, the Holy Emperor had already issued an order to make Hao Yuan a deputy general. He would follow the chief general and lead General Huaihua, who was also a military general. Soldiers go to war.

"Xun'er! You are going to get married soon!" Mrs. Dou exclaimed, covering her heart and about to collapse.

Hao Yuan quickly supported her: "Mom, my father is not in good health now, and he always thinks about going to war. I think it's better for me to go for my father..."

"You bastard! Did you think of your father and mother when you did this? Did you think of your fiancée who was about to marry?" General Dou scolded angrily, "Do you think sending troops to fight is child's play?"

"Father, Your Majesty also recognizes my talent. You also know that my greatest wish is to go into battle and kill the enemy. Please rest assured, father and mother, that my son will return safely." Hao Yuan knelt on the ground.

As for Qiu Wan, it was actually Hao Yuan who escaped. She couldn't marry Qiu Wan. I don't know how long this war will take. In the original plot, it lasted for three years. When she comes back, maybe Qiu Wan will marry her. A promising candidate.

No matter how reluctant General Dou and Mrs. Dou were, the imperial edict had been issued and could not be changed. Hao Yuan still put on his armor and set out with the soldiers' provisions.

When passing by a teahouse, Hao Yuan looked up with emotion and met Qiu Wan's tearful eyes. She raised her hand and smiled warmly at Qiu Wan.

Qiu Wan also smiled at her and said goodbye silently. When she comes back, she will still protect Qiu Wan.

But Hao Yuan didn't know that the gears of fate were turning and she almost died on the battlefield and could not come back!
