Shangguan Zimeng turned around and saw that the waiter didn't say anything, so she guessed that he didn't like this name.

Nonsense, no normal person would like such a name, okay?

She continued to think about his name in her mind, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. She thought of another name and said happily, "Xiaoer, how about you call yourself Shangguan Xiaomeng from now on? I think it sounds nice. If you don't think it sounds nice, just tell me and I'll think of another one for you."

The waiter's eyes lit up and he nodded heavily.

The prince's eyes were surprisingly consistent with the waiter's. It was obvious that he also approved of this name.

Shangguan Zimeng took the candied haws from his hand, put it into her mouth and said, "I like sweets. Lunch should be ready. Let's go eat first."

Ye Jiuer quickly finished eating the candied haws in silence.

Five days passed in a blink of an eye. It has been more than a month since I left the capital. It is time to go back.

At the south gate of Zigui City, everyone said goodbye.

Yan Kaiyu had already explained clearly what he should have told the Ye family. If a war really breaks out with Zehuang in the future, the safety of the northern border would still depend on the Ye family.

Shangguan Zimeng said goodbye to her family one by one, then squatted down and said to the child in front of her: "Xiaomeng, you must listen to everyone here, take good care of grandpa, remember to study hard and practice your skills. I believe you will be an outstanding general in the future. Come on!"

He nodded firmly.

A gust of north wind blew, and it was very biting. Ye Jiuer held him in her arms and wrapped him tightly with her cloak.

Shangguan Zimeng mounted the horse, wrapped her cloak tightly around her, and waved goodbye to them: "It's cold, go back. I'll come visit you when I have the chance."

The group rode out of Zigui City on horseback. Shangguan Xiaomeng looked at their departing figures with a more determined look in her eyes. No one could have imagined that ten years later, a 17-year-old young general would lead his cavalry and become another nightmare for Zehuang State.

Ye Jiuer held him and walked towards the city. She could never have imagined that this boy, who was seven years younger than her, would make her cry again and again in the days to come, and coax her back to health again and again. She could not have imagined that he would hold her hand until old age and accompany her for the rest of her life.

……

Yan Kaiyu and his group were riding horses on the official road in the forest. They had been rushing on the road just now, but now they slowed down.

Strange noises came from the woods on both sides, making the originally eerily quiet woods seem a little eerie.

Shangguan Zimeng was drowsy while riding a horse, unaware of the hidden danger around her. Suddenly, a sharp arrow flew towards her, and Yan Kaiyu shot it down in the air with the folding fan in his hand.

This movement instantly woke her up: "What's wrong?!"

"Be careful, there's an ambush."

They stayed where they were, and the people in the woods did not dare to make any rash moves. The two sides had been at a standstill for a long time, and the people in the woods could no longer bear it, so they ordered their men to shoot arrows, and dozens of sharp arrows flew out from the woods on both sides.

The four of them immediately responded with their weapons.

Suddenly, a scream was heard from the forest, followed by several screams. Qingyue, who had been hiding in the dark, took advantage of these people's inattention and killed them from the side.

Yan Kaiyu gave an order: "Wu Du, Zhou Yan go help."

He didn't want to get entangled here any longer, so he jumped off his horse and rushed into the woods on the other side. Shangguan Zimeng also had murderous intent and followed her husband's footsteps.

I thought these assassins were powerful, but they turned out to be just a bunch of ants. After a fight, only three were left alive, and the rest were all killed.

Yan Kaiyu recognized the badges they were wearing, "I never thought that a scum like Ma Yi would have so many followers. It's really sad."

One of them knelt on the ground and looked at him viciously, "Bah, you dog prince, you are not worthy of calling my father by his name."

He didn't care about being scolded, he got on his horse and said, "I have to say, Ma Yi has quite a few sons. Let's send this filial son to see his father."

Zhou Yan killed him directly from behind.

Shangguan Zimeng jumped on her horse and followed her husband forward. Behind her, Wudu and Qingyue each killed the remaining two people.

They continued on their way as if nothing had happened, intending to reach Yue County before dark.

In a room on the second floor of Yuelai Inn in Yue County, Yan Kaiyu stood by the window and looked into the distance, as if he had something on his mind.

Shangguan Zimeng put a cloak on him from behind and asked with a reproachful tone, "What are you thinking about so intently? The wind is so strong at night, and you are standing with the window open. What if you catch a cold?"

"You're wrong." He felt a little cold after hearing her say that. He closed the window and sat on the chair. "To be honest, I'm still thinking about Bai Wenxian."

"You said you wanted another man in front of me. Is that really okay?"

"I."

He was speechless for a moment, unable to understand what was going on in this girl's train of thought.

She smiled and held his hand and said, "I'm just kidding, but I'm going to say something I shouldn't say, husband, are you afraid of this person?"

He shook his head and said, "I have indeed been defeated by him, but I am not afraid of him. If it were just him, I believe I would be able to deal with it, but I am worried..."

He lowered his head, not knowing where to start expressing his worry.
