Cheng Mu looked at the leftover food on the table, and after silently finishing eating, asked Mrs. Meng to make another meat porridge, and asked her to deliver it before going to bed.

Yun Yun was lying on the bed without eating enough. He and Cheng Mu had managed to live a stable life for the past two months. Now that Cheng Mu was leaving suddenly, he couldn't accept it no matter what.Moreover, it is said that the battle started in winter, and it is not until October. Who knows if it will start, and if it does not start, going there will be a waste of time.

"Ayun, open the door." Cheng Mu carefully opened the door outside and said.

Yun Yun didn't answer when she heard the movement, she covered herself in the quilt to hide.

"Ayun, let's discuss it. I know you hate me, but this is a matter of the survival of the country."

Cheng Mu knocked twice more, "I know you don't want to be separated from me, and I don't want to be separated from you either. If this battle is over in a few months, we can still come back here."

Yun Yun could hear every word outside clearly. Cheng Mu said a lot of things in a mess, and he couldn't stand it anymore. He opened the door and shouted to Cheng Mu in his shirt, "You must go, don't you?"

"Yes."

"We live very well in Baiyang. Why do you want to go to the battlefield? Swords are ruthless. I know you can't let go of the past. It's not that I won't let you go, I just want you to wait, even if it's just A month and a half is fine."

Cheng Mu held him tightly in his arms, "Ah Yun, do you know that before soldiers go to the battlefield, they always explain what is going on behind them in advance, and they will not let others see them off on the last day of the expedition, let alone Many people went to the barracks in advance and did not go home. On the one hand, it was difficult to part with their relatives. On the other hand, they did not know when they would be called away, so they were always prepared in advance. When the general gave an order, When they said they were going to march and set off, they left with their own things on their backs, without any nostalgia."

"If I really waited until the moment the battle started and didn't know anything about the situation when I was in the barracks, then I would be like a puppet manipulated by someone, without any thoughts of my own. If I attack the enemy If you explore the route and map clearly in advance, you will be confident when you arrive on the battlefield.”

Yun Yun trembled in Cheng Mu's arms, "Cheng Mu, I understand."

When Mrs. Meng made chicken porridge and brought it over, Cheng Mu didn't pick it up, but said that Yun Yun had already fallen asleep and let her drink it with Xiao Bao.

"Are you sick, sir? Why did the weather stop so early?"

"I'm tired of judging the case today, so go back and rest quickly."

Cheng Mu thought back to his life in the past two years. When he participated in the imperial examination, it was Yun Yun who contributed. He was only offering advice. Yun Yun did not complain about the hardships of the imperial examination. Instead, he studied hard, just for the sake of Get ahead one day.Life in Linshui Village was hard but the happiest. At that time, there was no responsibility for the country, and all I wanted was to fill my stomach.

When Cheng Mu woke up the next day, it was already under the sun, and he thought about it for a long time last night before falling asleep.The quilt next to it was already cold, and when I went out, I saw a row of red-tasseled guns at the door, and several servants were rubbing the guns with oil.

"What are you doing?"

"My lord asked us to wipe these things clean, saying that Mr. Cheng can use them."

Cheng Mu searched all over the county, and finally found Yun Yun in the warehouse.

"Ah Yun." Yun Yun turned her head, put down the thing in her hand, and the servants at the side took it and put it on the ground.

"Are you checking the warehouse?"

"See if there is anything useful. There are quite a few swords inside. Most of them are old and rusty. Only a few are not bad."

"What are you doing with these?"

"Aren't you going? I can't help you. I can only find you some good weapons for self-defense, so that you are less likely to be injured."

Cheng Mu was a little surprised by this answer, "You...are you not angry anymore?"

"It would be great if I was angry and useful. It has always been your wish to return to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Now there is an opportunity in front of you. I shouldn't let you be trapped in this small county government for my own selfish desire."

These are probably the best words Cheng Mu has ever heard, "A Yun, thank you for doing this for me."

Yun Yun pretended not to care and said, "Who did this for you? I just thought that if I didn't let you go, I would be a sinner through the ages if the Great Northern Dynasty was destroyed."

The day of Cheng Mu's departure was scheduled to be five days later, and there were several fast horses in the county government. He took the fast horses and went all the way to Jingzhou to meet Nanrong Zeyu.

The day before he left, it was a rare day for Yun Yun not to deal with business. Cheng Mu's things had already been packed, and Yun Yun had prepared enough dry food and money.

"Did they tell you when it will end?" Yun Yun asked.

"I don't know, it should be soon." Cheng Mu answered like this, but he didn't have the confidence in his heart. The battle eight years ago took four months. At that time, there was still sufficient food and grass, and the soldiers and horses were strong. Now the national strength is far inferior. I haven't predicted this in advance, and it's good to be able to defeat it within half a year.

"I'll give you three months. If you don't come back after three months, I'll go find you. If you're in Jingzhou, I'll go to Jingzhou. If you're in the battlefield, I'll go to the battlefield."

"Ayun, I will write you a letter in ten days, and you will wait for me at the county government. Don't take risks. The battlefield is not a joke."

"Cheng Mu, you must be well. No matter what the final result is, you must come back alive."

For the rest of the day, both of them were lying on the bed, Yun Yun didn't know what she was worried about, she kept holding Cheng Mu and didn't let go, as if she would leave in a second if he let go.

At night, she was so tired that Yun Yun planned to talk to Cheng Mu after dinner, but fell asleep directly.Cheng Mu covered the quilt, got out of bed, lit the lamp and wrote a letter.

"I love Ah Yun. This expedition is extremely dangerous. I don't know what I will face. It may be life or death. As a general of the court, it is my duty to protect my family and the country, and I have no choice but to leave you. I will go Now, remember my letter, when the country is at peace, we will be together forever. Wei Jin"

It was just five o'clock, and after the first rooster crowed outside, Cheng Mu opened his eyes, carefully got out of bed and took his luggage away. Just before he walked out of the room, he opened the curtain and kissed Yun Yun's forehead lightly. The written letter was placed beside the pillow.

It just so happened that it was **'s turn to watch the night. He saw Cheng Mu coming out of the gate at the gate of the county mansion, yawned and said, "It's so early in the morning."

"Ah."

Except for Mrs. Meng, no one in the county government knew about Cheng Mu's going to Jingzhou, and she just thought that Cheng Mu was going out for a walk, so she opened the door and let him go without saying anything.

Nuo Da's county seat was hazy in the early morning mist, Cheng Mu took one last look, got on his horse and kicked the horse's belly and left towards the mist.
