Reborn in ancient times: I will make my family rich

"Since you discovered this, you should investigate it."

"Yes, then when does the emperor plan to send troops to support the North?"

Gu Yanzhou's heart sank as well. The situation in the north was far more serious than he had imagined.

"I am planning to discuss this with the ministers at court tomorrow. I want to ask the Marquis of Pingyang and his son to provide support."

"That's right. Pingyang Hou has made great military achievements, and his son also followed Pingyang Hou to fight at the border."

Gu Yanzhou said matter-of-factly.

This statement is made without any bias. Pingyang Hou is indeed a good general in the court.

He is indeed an incompetent husband and father.

"In that case, I will withdraw now."

"Go!" The emperor held his forehead with one hand and waved to Gu Yanzhou with the other hand, indicating that he should go down.

Gu Yanzhou knew that Jiang Nan must be worried, so he quickly withdrew and wanted to go back to report to Jiang Nan.

So that she can feel at ease.

The emperor was the only one left in the imperial study, and he rubbed his temple because of a headache.

He couldn't help but think of the past, when he was still a prince. Every time he had a headache, a pair of soft hands would massage his temples with a moderate force. At that time, he and the queen were inseparable almost every day.

When the emperor thought of this, his eyes became gloomy.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Nan tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep.

I don’t know what happened to Gu Yanzhou.

Is there any danger.

"Creaky," a sound suddenly came from Jiang Nan's window.

Jiang Nan immediately stood up alertly, got out of bed, picked up a pair of scissors from the dressing table beside him, and took a defensive stance.

Suddenly the window was completely opened and a dark shadow jumped in.

Because it was dark, I couldn't see the person's face.

Jiang Nan clenched the scissors in his hand and flew towards the person who was coming.

"It's me," Gu Yanzhou dodged to the side and said to Jiang Nan in a low voice.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise he would have been killed or seriously injured if he had been stabbed by the scissors.

"Gu Yanzhou?" Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Nan asked tentatively.

"Well, I came here to tell you because I was afraid you would be worried. If I hadn't dodged quickly, my life would have ended up in your hands instead of mine."

In the darkness, Gu Yanzhou teased Jiang Nan.

But in his heart, he was amazed at Jiang Nan's reaction speed.

"Who told you to come in through the window? You don't even know how to knock on the door!"

Jiang Nan said unhappily.

And you still blame her. What kind of good person would climb in through the window in the middle of the night?

She even thought that someone from the Apocalypse Country had followed her!

"I'm not afraid that you'll worry. Do you think Uncle Jiang would let me in if I knocked on the door in the middle of the night?"

"Of course, my dad is very open-minded, okay?"

Jiang Nan retorted that this would really let you in, after all, it was the thought of the 22nd century.

"Nannan!" Suddenly, Jiang's father's voice came from outside.

"Nannan, are you okay? I heard someone talking."

Father Jiang asked, standing outside Jiang Nan's house holding a lantern.

"It's okay, Dad. I was thirsty and wanted to drink some water!"

"It's okay."

After hearing this, Father Jiang returned to his room with peace of mind.

Gu Yanzhou walked to Jiang Nan's bed and sat down. He couldn't leave for a while.

Jiang Nan didn't dare to speak until he heard the door close next door.

"Is the war in Apocalypse Country very serious now?"

"Well, I just entered the palace and the latest news came that another city was lost, and we need food and troops to support the north."

Gu Yanzhou said calmly while lying on Jiang Nan's bed.

"Are you going to the North?"

Jiang Nan's expression was solemn. In her previous life, she had witnessed countless people dying on the battlefield, and she herself also died on the battlefield in the end.

Hearing the word battlefield again, Jiang Nan felt an instinctive fear.

"The Emperor asked me to investigate the infiltration of the Apocalypse Nation. I will not go to the Northland for the time being."

Jiang Nan understood what he meant and just decided not to go for the time being.

Jiang Nan walked to the bed and sat down, his eyes slightly red in the dark.

"Gu Yanzhou, I'm back from the battlefield. I know how terrible war is. I hope this day will never come."

As Jiang Nan said this, tears began to fall down his fair cheeks.

Gu Yanzhou noticed that Jiang Nan's tone was not right, so he stood up and raised his hand to touch Jiang Nan's face, which was wet.

Gu Yanzhou's heart trembled, and the tears were like hot lava, burning his whole body.

After wiping the tears from Jiang Nan’s face, Gu Yanzhou hugged him in his arms.

"If I had met you earlier, I might not have joined the army, but as a general, I have the unshirkable responsibility to defend my country. But for you, I will protect myself well. I know you are worried about me."

Gu Yanzhou patted Jiang Nan gently from time to time.

She knew all this, but she just selfishly didn't want him to go to the battlefield.

She didn't want to experience the heart-wrenching feeling of being separated from her loved ones forever again.

"I know all of this, but I just can't control myself."

"Do you know why I haven't proposed to you yet?"

Gu Yanzhou hugged Jiang Nan and spoke in a low voice.

"It's because the battlefield is dangerous, and you're afraid that you won't be able to come back, and that you're afraid of wasting my life."

Jiang Nan pushed Gu Yanzhou away and looked at him and spoke.

"you know."

"You're a fool if you ask this. Isn't this what people on the battlefield are afraid of?"

Jiang Nan glanced at Gu Yanzhou and was speechless.

This guy is smart in other aspects except that he is a little slow in emotions.

"Since I have chosen you, if something happens to you, whether we get married or not, I will probably have to be a nun for the rest of my life."

Jiang Nan spoke half jokingly and half seriously.

"If that's the case, then I have to cherish my life so that you won't be alone in the future without a companion."

Gu Yanzhou talked to Jiang Nan for a long time, and when he saw that she was in a much better mood, he left in the dark again.

When Jiang Nan got up the next day, he found two obvious bruises under his eyes.

Because it was new year and the old lady lived next door, Jiang Nan thought about taking the two little ones to pay New Year's greetings together.

After dinner, Jiang Nan went to the next room and picked out a jade ruyi from the empress dowager's reward to give to the old lady.

The jade ruyi has good meaning and the elderly all like it.

After cleaning up, Jiang Nan took the two children to the next door.

"Grandma, in the new year, I wish you happiness as vast as the East Sea and a life as long as the Southern Mountains."

As he spoke, Jiang Nan handed the jade ruyi he brought to Nanny Li beside him.

"You kid, why are you here so late?"

"Hey, two little darlings, come to your grandmother and eat some cakes. Aunt Li, please give the children some New Year's money."

The old lady had no children of her own in her life, so she loved children.

Holding one in each hand, with a bright smile on his face.

"Grandma, grandma, your grandson is here to wish you a happy new year."

Jiang Nan and the two children were talking to the old lady when they were suddenly interrupted.

Then Gu Huixuan rushed in hurriedly.

"You kid, you're so old and you still don't know how to be steady."

The old lady smiled and preached.

"Grandma, my parents and eldest brother are here too."

Gu Huixuan leaned close to the old lady's ear and whispered.

That expression was as if a stranger had arrived.
