After rebirth and marriage, the sick prince is fine again

"Brother Shen, why are you looking at me like that?"

Fang Ru felt a little numb at the look in Shen Rujun's eyes.

"Nothing, I'm probably a little tired lately." Shen Rujun retracted his gaze and explained lightly, but this explanation sounded perfunctory no matter how you listened to it.

Fang Ru scratched his head, looked at Shen Rujun carefully, and asked quickly: "Brother Shen, are you suspicious of what I said?"

Shen Rujun retracted his gaze and said in a light voice: "Of course it's not you."

Fang Ru breathed a sigh of relief and followed behind Shen Rujun, speaking even more carefully, for fear of saying something wrong and making Shen Rujun suddenly angry.

……

"Miss, they made a scene in the academy today." Banxia said from the side.

"Did he pay the money?"

"Yes."

Su Jinhua sneered and brought up his reputation. He really couldn't sit still anymore.

If he had not come over to Ci'an Temple that day and had not done that, nothing would have happened. But he couldn't control himself, so who can he blame?

"Keep watching and let them continue making trouble."

"Yes."

Shen Rujun didn't know yet that this was just the beginning.

……

In the winter at the border, it seems as if the whole world is frozen in endless cold.

The sky was a deep leaden gray, with thick clouds hanging low as if they would collapse at any moment.

The cold wind was biting and piercing like a knife, causing pain on people's faces. The exhaled breath instantly condensed into ice crystals in the cold air.

The soldiers wore thick cotton-padded jackets and had scarves wrapped around their faces, revealing only their bright and determined eyes.

Their eyes are always alert to any movement on the border, their spears are tightly grasped in their hands, their bodies are tense, and any slight movement can make them nervous.

Gu Yan'an chopped off the arrow on his shoulder with an expressionless face, and blood gushed out from the wound.

However, he seemed not to feel any pain. He took out the arrow head, applied medicine and bandaged it calmly, all in one go. It was obvious that he was used to it.

Liu Dashan looked at her and sighed helplessly: "Why did you rush forward so fiercely?! Those lieutenants didn't rush forward, so why did you, a mere centurion, rush forward?"

Gu Yanan glanced at him and sneered, "As a deputy general, you are too timid to go into battle. Are we going to let the barbarians in the northwest laugh at us?"

"I am just a small soldier, but I can capture the enemy general's head. I don't know why those lieutenants are so scared!"

In less than half a year, Gu Yanan accumulated a lot of military merits and was recently promoted to centurion, making him equal to Liu Dashan.

But after all, he is still young and has a youthful mentality, and cannot control his impulse.

After all, Liu Dashan is old and has seen a lot. He also knows that even if Gu Yanan is the prince, he still has to abide by certain rules if he is thrown into the military camp.

Not to mention, those lieutenants were old and experienced, and they naturally couldn't stand such a reckless centurion who rashly went into battle.

"If you suddenly come forward like this, in their eyes, it will be like stealing military merits. If you make them unhappy, you will have a hard time in the future."

"Of course, if you reveal your identity, they will naturally be polite and even promote you early, but if you don't want to reveal your identity, who knows how they will bully you behind your back."

Gu Yanan leaned back and sneered when he heard the words, his eyes full of mockery.

"Those who know are in the military camp, and those who don't know think they are in the officialdom."

Seeing that he didn't care, Liu Dashan was extremely anxious. He hurried forward and squatted beside him: "What I told you is definitely true. If you don't bow your head, you will have a hard time in the barracks."

"I didn't come to the military camp to waste time. Sooner or later, I will become a general."

Gu Yan'an's eyes were filled with determination, his expression was cold and revealed a hint of stubbornness.

"You, you are just too stubborn." Liu Dashan shook his head.

"Brother Liu, how many years have you been a centurion?"

"Three years."

"Three years. In my eyes, you have done a pretty good job. You have never made a mistake. You get up early and go to bed late every day. You are not disrespectful to the generals when you see them."

"You risked your life to charge in the front, and your military merits are not small. But they just gave you a centurion and didn't move for three years. You should know what that means."

Gu Yan'an lowered his head, adjusted his wristband, and looked up at Liu Dashan.

"If they want to suppress you, they can find a thousand excuses. They can be cautious for three years, but with just one word or one action, they can suppress you for the rest of your life. What's the point? It's better to create a merit yourself!"

Liu Dashan was frightened by Gu Yan'an's words. Although this was true, he was satisfied since he was promoted to centurion.

He has no power, no influence, and no background. It is a great honor for him to be promoted to this position, and he has thought that this will be the case in the future.

It's not that I haven't thought about gritting my teeth and striving for a higher official position, but I always feel that it's impossible.

So he gave up again. It's not that he hadn't thought about these things, but he didn't want to think about them too deeply. But today, Gu Yanan dug out this reality in a bloody way, and his heart was really chilled.

When Gu Yanan saw that Liu Dashan was silent, he knew that he had taken his words to heart.

He stood up, patted Liu Dashan and said, "Think about it carefully. If you want to stay in this position for the rest of your life, I won't say much."

Liu Dashan stood silently in the tent, wondering what he was thinking about.

Whenever night falls, a blazing bonfire would be lit on the beacon tower to bring a little warmth to the soldiers.

The soldiers sat around the fire, sharing limited food and hot water, and talking about the customs and people of their hometown and their aspirations for the future.

Although life is hard, my heart is still full of longing for my hometown and loved ones.

If you can't go home, it's good to at least write a letter home.

Gu Yan sat in the tent, pen in hand, writing letters home. After thinking about it, he decided to write two letters home.

One for mother and one for Su Jinhua.

Before writing, Gu Yan'an pondered for a long time, especially the letter to Su Jinhua.

"I figured it out!"

Liu Dashan's shout scared Gu Yan'an so much that his hand trembled, and a drop of ink splashed onto the paper, blurring the line of words he had just written.

The corner of his eye twitched, and he silently put down his pen, crumpled up the paper, and started writing again.

Liu Dashan stood up from the corner and looked at Gu Yanan with eyes burning like fire.

"What have you figured out?"

"How can I not fight for myself when I am still alive? I am still in my prime, why shouldn't I fight for myself?"

He is not even forty yet and still has so much time, not for fame and fortune, but just for the passionate battlefields of his youth.

I used to think that as long as I could go to the battlefield and defend my country, that would be good enough.

But after serving in the military for a few years, he found that this was nothing more than another officialdom, with human relationships, intrigues and deceptions that were hard to guard against.

Only when you are in a high position and have more power can you do more.

"Congratulations, Brother Liu, you finally figured it out."

Gu Yanan put down his pen, cupped his hands, and his cold expression eased a lot. He looked at Liu Dashan, nodded, and smiled gently.

Liu Dashan also laughed heartily a few times and walked in front of Gu Yanan.

"Shanshi, I've long seen that you are a talented general. Together, we can definitely make a name for ourselves."

"So does Brother Liu."
