Xie Lian vented his anger a little, and looking at his enemy on the ground, he felt a real headache.

"Do you know that you are a general, commanding the three armies? If outsiders knew that General Yan begged for mercy so easily in private, who knows what they would say about you."

Yan Kuan was delighted to see that he was willing to talk to him, and he moved closer:

"Those people have nothing to do with me. I just want to let them know that I am a henpecked husband. If anyone dares to say anything more, I will break his teeth."

Seeing that he was getting more and more outrageous, Xie Lian pushed him away in shame, “What do you mean by henpecked? Get out of here, you’re annoying.”

This coquettish tone made Yan Kuan even more infatuated, and he couldn't help but think of his husband and wife.

He immediately stood up, pulled Xie Lian and walked out.

There is a lot of wind and sand at the border, especially at night, and it is quite cold, so generally no one goes out.

The two of them rode on the same horse. Xie Lian leaned on Yan Kuan's chest, his face blocked by his cloak, so the wind and sand didn't blow him at all.

"Close your eyes, don't open them"

Yan Kuan’s deep voice rang in his ears, and Xie Lian shook his hand nervously.

"Be good, hold my hand"

Yan Kuan helped Xie Lian down from the horse, covered his eyes with both hands, and brought him to a place.

"Are you ready?"

Yan Kuan slowly took his hand away, and Xie Lian opened his eyes, only to see a whole green starry sky in front of him.

The moon’s glow enveloped the outer layer like a thin veil, dotted with emeralds all over the sky, twinkling and dancing around Xie Lian.

Xie Lian's eyes were filled with joy. He would stretch out his hands from time to time, letting the green fireflies land on his fingers before sending them flying away.

"Are these the fireflies on the frontier that my elder brother mentioned? Sure enough, there are so many of them, big and beautiful."

Yan Kuan watched in fascination. At this moment, Xie Lian looked like a child, childish and innocent. Thinking of his sickly and miserable childhood, Yan Kuan felt a little distressed.

She walked over, put the cloak on him, and hugged him from behind.

"Like it?"

Xie Lian looked back, the clear sunlight was shining on Yan Kuan’s face, handsome and gentle, there was only himself in his eyes, the happy self.

Xie Lian was deeply touched: "Thank you, Brother Kuan, I am very happy today"

Yan Kuan smiled. He stretched out his hand and a firefly landed on his fingertips. He gently moved in front of Xie Lian.

"Alian, I came to the border this time, and my father and brother said that they could marry you to me."

Xie Lian was playing with the fireflies in his hand. Hearing this, he turned around to look at him in surprise and couldn’t help laughing:

"Are you thick-skinned? Can you say that casually?"

Yan Kuan lowered his head and glanced at him, his eyes inexplicably complicated, and Xie Lian didn’t understand.

"Brother Kuan, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Kuan sighed:

"Alian, I'm proposing to you, but you shouldn't be normal. This sky full of fireflies is too sloppy. Wait for me next time. I will definitely succeed next time."

Xie Lian stared at Yan Kuan in disbelief, “Brother Kuan, are you serious?”

It is uncommon for men to get married in this era. Although he really wants to, he is already content to be with Yan Kuan for the rest of his life.

Sometimes he would have dark thoughts. What if Yan Kuan wanted to end their relationship after two years? What if he wanted to get married and have children? He often had such worries and even thought about revealing their relationship. That way, no one would care about Yan Kuan and he would be alone.

Yan Kuan looked at Xie Lian and said jokingly without saying anything:

"Why, do you really want to marry me?"

He felt that he was not well prepared. He didn't care about their identities or people's opinions, but that didn't mean he could accept others talking about Xie Lian like that.

Yan Kuan told himself in his heart to wait a little longer, and not to let him down.

Xie Lian felt a little disappointed, but then he replied half sincerely and half jokingly, "Okay, if you dare to marry me, I will."

Yan Kuan tapped his lover's nose with his finger, his eyes filled with hidden possessiveness: "Okay, remember what you said."

Then he pointed at the real stars in the sky and told Xie Lian about each constellation, and told him about the desert and what was in it...

The two were surrounded by stars, and the entire sea of ​​stars became a backdrop, witnessing the true love of a pair of lovers.

Xie Lian was the Prime Minister after all, and he had only been there for eight days when he received a letter from the capital, asking him to return to handle official business.

Yan Kuan seemed to have been prepared for this. Surprisingly, he did not stop him. Instead, he helped Xie Lian take care of everything, even filling the carriage with food.

Xie Lian frowned, somewhat displeased:

"You really want me to leave, and now that things here are over, why don't we go back together?"

Yan Kuan stroked his long black hair and helped him straighten the jade crown on his head:

"Are you stupid? There are still matters in Xiliang that have not been dealt with. I, as a general, cannot just walk away and leave everything to others. Otherwise, others will think that I am in a hurry to return to the palace to collect the reward."

Xie Lian still felt like something was wrong, but he couldn’t figure out what it was.

Yan Kuan pinched his face:

"Don't let your imagination run wild. I've already given instructions to Yuwen Ji and Yuwen Hongying. I'm afraid they might get into trouble on the way, so I've given them knockout drugs. It's enough for them to sleep all the way to the capital. Be careful along the way, okay?"

Xie Lian hadn’t expected him to be so thoughtful and even think of this. He felt touched:

"Well, remember to change the dressing on your wound. Don't forget it."

"Got it, be good, let's go"

Xie Lian said goodbye to Yan Kuan, and the army set off.

In the carriage, he even found the letters Yan Kuan left for him in the drawer. There were twenty letters in total. Was it because they were sent one letter a day until they reached the capital?

Sure enough, there was a date written on the back of the envelope.

Open the first one:

"It's like meeting you in person, A'lian. After you left, I have been standing here, thinking about the happy days you had here. Every minute and every second with you is the most beautiful memory of my life. I always want to be closer to you, closer, and it would be best if we were never apart. I miss you, big wolfdog."

Xie Lian felt so relieved that he read the letter twice more, folded it and put it in his arms. He wished he could read the rest of the letter right now.

But I held it back, my heart filled with sweetness.

He secretly wondered how this reckless man could be so thoughtful and romantic this time. He even sent people to take care of the inns along the way. Xie Lian did not suffer any hardship along the way and returned to the capital comfortably.

Inside the Prime Minister’s Mansion, Xie Lian put all the letters into the box beside the bed and stroked every item inside:

"You are so capable that I have been thinking about you all the way. Please come back soon. I miss you."

After saying that, he fell asleep holding the box.

The days passed uneventfully like this, and Yan Kuan still did not come to the capital. Some people in the court were already discussing that he had his own army and was acting in a self-centered manner.

At this time, a message came from the border.

"Report, General Fuyuan and Grand Marshal Yan Kuan are leading their troops out of the border."
