After rebirth and marriage, the sick prince is fine again

"Then I wonder what Vice General Liu has in mind?"

"A young man like him who always rushes to the front in everything, doesn't he just want to take credit? Let him take all the credit. Who knows, he might die in the battlefield someday." A deputy general next to him had a fierce look in his eyes.

Since this kid came to the military camp, he has made many achievements. In less than half a year, he has fought his way to the position of centurion.

If he were given another half year, would he become their immediate superior?

Once he stepped over the deputy general, he would be above all of them. To suppress them would be just a matter of words.

"He's just a wild boy from the countryside. What right do you have to step on our heads? He just knows some mediocre Kung Fu, but he can be invincible on the battlefield, right?"

"That's right." The deputy general named Zhao, who had a good relationship with Liu Chenrui, nodded.

Liu Chenrui looked at the fear in everyone's eyes, nodded with satisfaction, raised his hand to stroke his beard, and smiled meaningfully.

"Guarding the water source is of utmost importance this time. If anything goes wrong, the commander will definitely question him, so we don't need to make it too complicated..."

Liu Chenrui leaned forward and whispered something in a low voice to several deputy generals around him.

……

"Look, what are they talking about?"

Liu Dashan squinted his eyes and saw Liu Chenrui and several deputy generals discussing something. He had a bad feeling.

"I just want to discuss how to drag me into this."

Gu Yanan's calm voice came from above his head, floating and vague, as if it would be blown away by the wind in the next second.

"A dirty trick, that's Liu Chenrui's style." Liu Dashan muttered.

"What are you going to do?"

"If the enemy comes, we will stop him; if the water comes, we will block it with earth. We will defend it."

Gu Yanan sneered, with coldness in his eyes.

"Guard the water source, and don't let the enemy in, and don't let their people in either."

After Gu Yanan said this, Liu Dashan realized that they had to start from the water source.

After a moment of silence, Liu Dashan said, "Do you know why they want to hurt you like this? Besides jealousy."

"During the New Year, they will return to Beijing with their commander to report on their work. If I replace one of them and go back with them to discuss merits and rewards, it goes without saying what will happen."

Gu Yanan will report all the suppression in the army and the despicable tactics used by these people to the higher authorities.

At least, that's the feeling he gives people. When faced with injustice, of course they have to rise up and fight back. They will be afraid, so of course they want to kill him by all means.

Liu Dashan sighed: "Anyway, be careful these days."

The moonlight was cold. Gu Yanan looked at the bright moon in the sky and suddenly felt homesick.

I don’t know if I can make it back for the holidays this year.

When he returned home, it was no longer just him and his mother, but also his wife.

Gu Yan'an felt a little strange in his heart. He also had a wife, and he had seen her. She came thousands of miles to find him and help him treat his leg injury.

Gu Yan'an gently rubbed the knife at his waist with a complicated expression on his face.

As he expected, the night passed uneventfully.

Everyone in the camp breathed a sigh of relief, except Gu Yanan, who kept paying attention to the movements around him.

"Shanshi, your letter."

Liu Dashan stuffed two letters and a bundle into Gu Yan'an's arms.

Gu Yan'an was stunned, looked at the bundle and asked, "Did you come with the letter?"

Liu Dashan nodded: "Well, go and have a look. We will have to inspect again after you finish."

After saying that, he left the military tent, leaving Gu Yanan alone holding the bundle and the letter in a daze.

This was the first time he received a letter from home, which was sent by the eldest princess and Su Jinhua.

He first read the eldest princess's letter, which was three pages long and filled with expressions of concern for him.

After reading it, Gu Yan'an read it again and then put the letter away.

He looked at Su Jinhua's letter, feeling a little surprised but more curious, wondering what she would write in the letter.

After opening the letter, she first asked about his leg injury, saying that injuries are prone to relapse in winter, and that she had prepared ointment in her bag.

The rest of the message was nothing more than caring words, and the beautiful handwriting looked somewhat cute on the paper.

At the end of both letters, the authors expressed their hope that he would return home for a reunion after the New Year.

Gu Yanan didn't notice that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

After putting away the letter, Gu Yan'an opened the contents of the bundle, most of which were ointments, as well as new clothes and inner jackets that he had sewn himself. At the very bottom was a jade plaque from the princess's mansion.

Gu Yan'an's expression froze, and he immediately understood what the eldest princess meant. This was telling him not to suffer any grievances, and if anyone was dissatisfied with him, they could just show the jade token.

“Have you finished reading?

Liu Dashan's voice came from outside.

Gu Yanan nodded, put his things away, walked out of the military tent and went towards the water source with Liu Dashan.

"Is everything okay at home?" Liu Dashan asked casually.

"Well, everything's fine."

The two of them walked over there while talking, receiving several stares along the way.

Liu Chenrui would never give up so easily, so Gu Yanan and Liu Dashan were on high alert.

In the evening, Liu Chenrui sent a few people to fetch water there. Gu Yan'an and Liu Dashan looked at each other and asked their people to fetch water for him.

"How dare I trouble you two? I can go by myself." The soldier smiled and bent over, looking between the two of them.

"It's not a big deal. It's just a few steps." Gu Yan'an said indifferently.

After a while, the bucket of water was handed to the soldier.

After the soldier left, he returned to report the matter to Liu Chenrui.

"Very cautious."

Liu Chenrui sneered, his eyes dark.

That night, as darkness fell, the camp was still brightly lit with candles. Because of the enemy attack by the Northwest Iron Cavalry, no one dared to sleep soundly at night.

Gu Yan'an paid close attention to the movements outside and would wake up at any sign of trouble.

Although it was late at night, he did not feel tired at all. He stood on the tree and looked into the distance. It was almost the end of the year. Standing on the tree, he could see the lights of thousands of homes in the city not far away.

Even if you haven't been into the city, you can imagine the city decorated with lights and colors.

"Time flies. I've been in the military for seven years."

Liu Dashan leaned against a tree, gazing into the distance and reminiscing.

“If you could go back home at the end of the year, where would you go?”

"My parents have both passed away, and I haven't started a family yet, so it doesn't matter where I go. The money I've saved over the years is enough to live comfortably for a few months."

Liu Dashan had a casual attitude. He didn't have any feelings about the New Year. He just felt that it was quieter, more peaceful and more lively than ordinary days.

Gu Yanan retracted his gaze, looked at him and said, "If you have nowhere to go, why not come to the Marquis' Mansion."

"How dare you."

But the people living in the marquis' mansion are all nobles. How dare he, a commoner, set foot there?

"We are brothers and friends. It's okay if you stay for a few days. Don't worry, I will treat you well when the time comes. You won't be short of food in the mansion."
