Muffled groans came from the tent, and the soldiers standing guard outside frowned from time to time.

They both heard some of the talking inside, and they knew what the muffled groaning sound was.

The joints of the hands holding the weapons were white. The two men closed their eyes and pursed their lips. With the occasional muffled groans, their bodies were shaking tensely.

Finally, a long sigh was heard from inside, and the two men breathed a sigh of relief, opened their eyes and looked at each other. The men on the battlefield had red eyes.

At this time, Jiang Yuan's chin was dripping with sweat and his whole body was wet.

After bandaging the wound, Qu Jin's hands began to tremble, and his voice was tense, "Okay, you take a rest."

Jiang Yuan's face turned pale, and he waved his hands weakly, "It's okay, give me some saliva."

When I use force, my scalp becomes tight and my cheeks become sore from gritting my teeth.

"I will never do this kind of surprise attack or fire attack again." Jiang Yuan raised his head and drank a glass of water.

Qu Jin took the cup and said with a smile, "It's okay if you don't want to use fire attacks, but are you sure you can handle sneak attacks?"

Jiang Yuan burst out laughing, "I am still more suitable for sneak attacks and breaking people's necks."

"Yeah, it hurts just listening to it." Qu Jin touched his neck, "I'll go get some food, you take a rest."

Another half month passed, and the envoy sent by the monarch of Great Jin arrived, bringing with him a letter of peace, promising not to harass Dayu for ten years.

Jiang Yuan's injuries had also healed a lot, and he and Qu Jin returned to Yancheng.

Qu Hou withdrew his troops and returned with his men. Everyone understood that they had won and the issue in the eastern border had been temporarily resolved.

Xu Jun's health has improved a lot. He can get out of bed and walk, and is gradually recovering. Occasionally, he can be seen boxing.

"General Xu, we should be able to return to Beijing soon." Jiang Yuan and Qu Jin came back from Yancheng with a lot of food and handed Xu Jun a bag of buns.

He took it cheerfully, "Finally I can go back. I heard that the Fang family father and son have not been found yet. Do you remember the group of people who rebelled in Dongshan County at that time?"

The two of them held the buns in their hands, took a bite, and nodded at the same time.

Xu Jun greeted the two of them, followed him into the tent, picked up a letter and handed it to them.

Qu Jin took it and they read it together. It was a letter from General Xu to Xu Jun.

"A comeback?" Both of them were shocked.

Xu Jun nodded, "Yes, that's what the letter said, but judging from what my father said, it shouldn't be a big deal."

Lord Qu returned to the tent and immediately arranged the follow-up work. Originally, the two generals stationed in the eastern border were General Wu and General Bai, and they were still the same two.

When sending the letter of surrender this time, Marquis Qu also sought the emperor's opinion and did not make things too difficult.

They retreated back to this side of Qingshi Mountain. Although they occupied the garrison camp of Dajin, they returned it to them later.

From now on, Dajin will pay tribute every year. As for the quantity, it is not something Jiang Yuan and the others care about.

In any case, in Jiang Yuan's mind, there will not be peace for a few years. This Qingshi Mountain must be seized and a war is bound to come.

More than half a month had passed since the capital received the news that the army had returned.

The eldest princess sent Qu Ran and Jiang Zhai's two little sisters to the girls' private school at the foot of the mountain of Cangwu Academy.

Originally, according to Jiang Yuan's plan, the private school would recruit students publicly in winter, and anyone who wanted to go could take the entrance exam.

Qu Ran passed the exam last winter.

When Qu Ying brought the news to Jiang's house and urged Aunt Juan to pack luggage for her two younger sisters as soon as possible, Aunt Juan was shocked.

Jiang Huai was also surprised. He visited the teacher of Cangwu Academy and mentioned this matter. He also said that two places would be given during the winter exam.

It was a surprise that she had to be sent there suddenly, especially since Qu Ran had to follow the rules and pass the exam before entering the academy.

Qu Ying said that it was arranged by the eldest princess and that the academy had made all the arrangements. She also said that Jiang Mu and Jiang Lin's levels met the standards for initial admission.

The others were not aware of it either. Anyway, it was a good thing and it was arranged by the eldest princess, so they did not object.

He hurriedly sent his two younger sisters there. They had to live in an academy and could take a two-day break every half month and then return home.

Aunt Juan has been feeling a little uneasy these days. She has been sitting alone in the garden, looking at the set of experimental tools that were used to test the river channel. They have not been dismantled, and water still flows like a stream every day, but they have been transformed by Jiang Huai into a landscape that can be appreciated.

"Aunt, why are you sitting here?" When Jiang Huai returned home, he saw his aunt sitting in a daze.

Aunt Juan came back to her senses, her face was worried, she covered her chest and said, “I don’t know, I always feel very panicked these days.

I was drinking tea with a friend from the embroidery shop that day, and I felt that the atmosphere in the teahouse was a bit strange.

I am feeling uneasy. Should I bring Mumu and Linlin back? Or is it because I am not used to their absence? "

Jiang Huai also frowned. He had the same feeling. This feeling was more obvious when he was in the court because he hadn't seen Lu Chuan and Zhou Qian'an for a long time.

Even Prince Anyang and General Xu were rarely seen. Qu Ying said that her two brothers were also very busy.

Jiang Huai: "No, if something really happens in the capital, the princess will definitely have news.

No wonder he sent his two younger sisters to the academy so unexpectedly.

Auntie, don't worry, it must be safe over there. Bring him back. If something really happens, it will be dangerous."

Aunt Juan nodded in realization, "Yes, yes, the eldest master is really thoughtful.

Then, should I tell people to buy more food and go out less often? "

Jiang Huai nodded, "Okay, Auntie will take care of the affairs in the mansion.

Remember, if something really happens, keep the door closed and don't go out. Even if I'm not in the house, don't go out to look for me, understand?"

Aunt Juan was terrified, but she still nodded obediently and agreed, "Okay, okay."

Chunzhi and Luzhu often say: The girl said, if you can't help, just stay away. Not causing trouble is the greatest help.

She can't hold back.
