Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

The emperor looked at the urgent letter that had traveled five hundred miles, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry. He said slowly, "Yu Lao Er has always been a man of his own accord. He must have made a great discovery when he rushed out. But you are right. I agree. You must remember one thing. If Yu Lao Er comes back, you must obey him in everything. If he doesn't come back, you must not act on your own. You must discuss everything with your deputy generals."

A father worries about his son even when he is far away. Although Jin Liu has some experience, it is his first time to join the army and fight on the battlefield. It would be a lie to say that he is not worried.

Jin Liu thanked him, came out of the imperial study, picked up Yu Ran, and said goodbye to Concubine Jin. When he returned to Prince Jing's Mansion, the two brothers of the Yu family had already received the letter and were waiting for him in the mansion.

The three of them headed straight for the north gate to leave the city. When they arrived at the city gate, Yu Yang, who had sharp eyes, immediately spotted Xuan Zhu standing by the road and strolling leisurely. He reined in his horse and said to Jin Liu, "Brother-in-law, it's Lord Hong!"

Not only Hongze was there, but Jinyun, who had not been seen for many days, was also there.

The two of them sat at a small noodle stall at the city gate, eating noodles and chatting leisurely.

Jin Liu sat down anxiously, staring at the two of them, and said half-jokingly: "But we are just going out of the city for a while, so there is no need for you two to see us off like this. Are you going to hold a poetry gathering?"

"No need for a poetry gathering." Hongze handed him a soft leather bag. "I saw you were in a hurry to control the army, so I thought of giving you a treasure so that you won't lose your life on the battlefield."

Jin Liu opened it and found a very delicate and small pistol inside, and the rest was full of steel balls. He smiled knowingly and looked up at Hong Ze, but saw that he had no expression and just silently handed him a bowl of noodles.

He accepted it and started eating with big mouthfuls.

Jinyun was not in a hurry. After he finished eating, he took out a small wooden box from behind and handed it to him: "I don't have so many rare items, but I hurried to make some pills for you. If you don't mind, take them!"

"Mr. Nie's medicine has always been the best." Jin Liu put down the empty bowl, holding the wooden box in one hand and the cloth bag in the other, looking at these two people, his heart felt warm.

In the past, when they left the capital, I would come to see them off, but now it's the other way around.

He thought for a moment, and said to Hongze, "Tell your wife to spend more time with Yu Ran when she is free. Now the Duke of Wei is still in doubt about his life or death, and there is no news. My two younger brothers have also followed me to the border. She has always been a careful person, and I am afraid she will often be confused."

"No." Hongze shook his head without even a hint of hesitation.

"What did you say?" The good atmosphere of old friends seeing each other off came to an abrupt end at this moment, and Jin Liu glared at him.

He said very calmly: "The emperor recently gave me a half-month vacation, and she has to stay at home with me."

As soon as these words came out, Jinyun's face turned red. He pushed Hongze with his elbow helplessly, and said with a smile: "He left immediately. Can't you even trick him?"

Hongze shrugged indifferently and said to him, "Go! Instead of thinking about finding someone to accompany her, why not help her find her father as soon as possible."

"You are amazing!" Jin Liu jumped on his horse and rode away in a hurry. Following closely behind him were the two sons of the Duke of Wei. Under the setting sun, the light and shadows were like a painting.

Jinyun sighed softly: "I hope Duke Wei is well."

"That old fox is fine." Hongze waved his hand and grinned at Jinyun.

He whistled softly, and Xuanzhu trotted over slowly and stood beside him.
