"Have you forgotten about Yang Luo? She prepared an antidote to alleviate the toxicity, and the attack will only occur once every six months. And in the days after I returned to Daliang in my previous life, I was familiar with the art of war and had a deep understanding of Ava. In those three or four years, I had already practiced all of Ava's combat strategies countless times."

"So, although we had our share of wins and losses that year, I still managed to capture Ava alive in the end and forced the King of Zhao to cede the city and redeem him. So, Yanyan, you don't have to worry. I have already arranged everything last night."

I can't tell her the truth, lest she worry too much.

"Moreover, they have been fighting continuously, and the army is already very tired. They are also short of food, weapons and supplies. However, I will not give them a chance to catch their breath. I plan to start in two days. Therefore, the most important thing right now is that you have to rest well, and leave the rest to me."

Li Shuangwan then nodded solemnly. So that's how it is. Gu Xingyan was confident, so she felt relieved.

"Master, the tent has been set up and the horses have been found. I have already talked to Miss Hongshuang, and she said we will set out at 1:00 a.m. tomorrow. Oh, by the way, I have also asked someone to bring the hot water that the lady needs to use to the tent. You can go and take a shower now." Mo Lin's voice sounded outside.

There was a hint of pride in Morin's tone, as if he was sure to get praise from his master. He did a very good job this time.

However, the next moment, instead of receiving compliments, a teacup flew out from inside and almost hit him on the head: "Who told you to prepare so quickly? You even notified Hong Shuang. You don't know what you are talking about. Go away and reflect on your mistakes. If you can't figure it out, you don't have to eat dinner."

Mo Lin jumped away immediately in fear, muttering in a low voice, "What the hell, it was you who asked me to hurry up and prepare, and now you complain that I prepared too quickly and did too much. Why am I always the one who gets hurt?"

Why is it so hard to guess a man's mind? Sometimes it's sunny and sometimes it's rainy.

Especially men in love, they are simply stupid.

Jia Cheng came over at this time. Seeing Mo Lin's dejected look, he asked in confusion, "What happened? Did you get punished again?"

Mo Lin seemed to have found a life-saving straw, pointing at the broken teacup on the ground: "See, the master threw it, and it almost ruined my handsome face."

Jia Cheng chuckled.

"Jia Cheng, please be fair. Half an hour ago, the master asked me to prepare the tent and two good horses, saying that Miss Hongshuang was going to take the girl inside away."

"But what happened? I finally did everything perfectly and even boiled some hot water for the girl to wash. I was waiting for the master to praise me, but he scolded me and threw a teacup at me instead."

"Do you think I am wronged?"

Jia Cheng glanced at the tent with its tightly closed curtains. He could hear a man and a woman talking in low voices from inside, with a meaningful smile in their eyes.

"Jia Cheng, please tell me, what should I do to please my master? I am too difficult to serve."

"I didn't do what he wanted, so he wanted to punish me. Now that I'm doing what he wants, he's unhappy again."

"Hey, why is it that your master is always satisfied with whatever you do and never scolds you?"

Maureen felt wronged.

The master is a good person, but since this girl came, he has become a little difficult to serve.

"Oh, yes, and Hong Shuang. When I went to talk to her, she rolled her eyes at me and said I was stupid. Then she asked me to report to the master that we would set out at 5 a.m. tomorrow. It was inexplicable."

He has only been with his master for two months, and he is almost being scolded into a pulp.

Jia Cheng rolled his eyes at him: "Idiot."

"Hey, why am I stupid? Then tell me what to do. You are scolding me too. What's wrong with all of you?"

Jia Ben, with his good character of teaching and educating people, extended his hand to him.

"What?"

"It's the apprenticeship fee. Don't you want to know why the master scolded you and what you are going to do in the future? Pay the tuition first."

Mo Lin held his pocket tightly and said, "No, that's the money I used to marry my wife."

"Well, since there is nothing, then you can continue to endure the scolding from your master." Jia Cheng walked away with his hands behind his back and shaking his head.

"Hey, hey, you, don't go, hey, wait for me." Mo Lin swung his legs and chased after him.

Jia Cheng had to run away quickly. Since his master had already made a decision, why should he join in the fun?

Unfortunately, what you fear will come true. Before the two of them walked a foot away, Gu Xingyan's voice came out: "Jia Cheng, squat in horse stance for two hours."

Mo Lin paused. The master wanted to punish Jia Cheng?

Wow, this is something new.

"Hey, that's not right, Jia Cheng, why did the master punish you? You didn't even go in, and you didn't say anything wrong, or do anything wrong."

How did the world become something he didn't recognize?

Jia Cheng slapped his mouth hard. It was all his fault for talking too fast. Wasn't he asking for punishment?

It turns out that if you stay with Maureen for a long time, you will become stupid.

"Go and bring the hot water here." Mo Lin was about to chase Jia Cheng when he received this order.

He was confused and hesitant, not knowing whether he should listen to these words.

Li Shuangwan knew what Gu Xingyan was thinking. This was the commander's tent, and the conditions there were better than those set up temporarily.

But she didn't expose it. She had been on the road all the time and hadn't taken a proper bath during this period. Her body was smelly.

Thinking of how Gu Xingyan had just hugged her like this, her face immediately turned red.

"Take your time to wash. I'll be watching outside for you."

Li Shuangwan looked at him with a smile: "Okay."

Soaking in the warm water, Li Shuangwan felt all the pores on his body open up comfortably.

By the time I was clean, there were five large buckets of water. When I got out of the tub, I felt like I had lost two pounds.

She was so sleepy that she didn't even have time to wring her hair dry. She just lay down on the table and fell into a deep sleep.

When Gu Xingyan came in, he saw that the girl still had her long black hair loose and water was still dripping down, her face resting on her arms, and she was breathing softly.

He chuckled, took the towel beside him, gently wrung out her hair bit by bit, then picked her up and carried her to the bed, covering her with the quilt.

Perhaps he was really too tired, or perhaps his body and mind were completely relaxed, Li Shuangwan did not wake up the entire time.

Only when Gu Xingyan picked her up did she murmur, "Xingyan, you are so kind."

Gu Xingyan paused, a smile that he couldn't suppress appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After staring at the person on the bed, Xu went out, whispered to Mo Lin what meals to prepare in the evening, and then sat down on the low couch beside the bed.

He had also been on a rapid march all the way and had not slept all night, so he was extremely tired and fell asleep soon.

However, after just a moment, Li Shuangwan suddenly woke up, sat up straight, and breathed heavily.

Gu Xingyan immediately jumped up from the bed: "What's wrong, Yanyan, did you have a nightmare?"

Li Shuangwan's face turned pale: "No, Xingyan, this is not right."
