C323 sleepless night

Duan Yunfei spurred his horse to gallop, and finally made it back to Red Luan Courtyard before the palace gates opened.

"Princess, we were worried about you even though it was so late." Seeing Duan Yunfei rushing back, Xiao Yang hurried over to greet him.

"What's there to worry about? I'm back now, aren't I?" Duan Yunfei said to Xiao Yang as she walked into the house.

Xiao Yang hurriedly brought the prepared dinner out from Kitchen, and placed it in front of Duan Yunfei: "Princess, you have been out for so long, you must have not eaten dinner yet, I have been heating up the whole time in Kitchen, taking advantage of the heat to eat some before resting."

Duan Yunfei shook her head. When she thought about how Wu Shan was going to leave the capital and rush to the Southwest battlefield tomorrow, she felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't even talk. Thinking about it, she couldn't even eat a single mouthful of food. In the end, Wu Shan was still her little brother that she grew up with.

"Xiao Yang, I'm a little tired. You can go and rest first." Duan Yunfei slowly exhaled, and said to Xiao Yang in a soft voice. After toiling for the entire day, she was rather tired. Even the sound of her voice didn't carry the slightest bit of strength.

Seeing Duan Yunfei like this, Xiao Yang naturally knew how tired she was and did not say anymore. She could only nod at her and prepared to leave.

Just as Xiao Yang was about to leave, Duan Yunfei seemed to have suddenly remembered something. She raised her head and said to Xiao Yang: "Xiao Yang, tomorrow morning, General Wu Shan will be setting off for the battle. You go and prepare some things that you need on the way there.

"Princess." Xiao Yang called out to Duan Yunfei as he frowned at her. Duan Yunfei had mixed feelings towards Wu Shan. Although she wanted to speak up and comfort her, she didn't know what to say. She stood at the door, turned her head and called out to Duan Yunfei, then stood at the door, unable to say a single word.

Duan Yunfei was naturally able to see through Xiao Yang's thoughts. She smiled and then gently waved her hand at Xiao Yang, signalling him to get her to leave.

The weather was still clear during the day, and it snowed at night.

Xiao Yang tightly closed Duan Yunfei's room door, and added a quilt for her. Even during the freezing winter, he hoped that she would be able to sleep well and have a good night's sleep.

After Xiao Yang left, Duan Yunfei tossed and turned, but she could not fall asleep either. For some reason, her mind was filled with all the scenes when she met Wu Shan today.

Wu Shan stood in the hallway of the Wu Family. Scratching his head, he turned around and said to Duan Yunfei: "Elder sister, don't worry, I will definitely take the lead and fight bravely. No matter what, I will think of a way to win this battle."

The two of them stood face to face. Duan Yunfei did not need to look into his eyes to be able to feel the urgency and excitement in her heart.

"Alright." Duan Yunfei reached out and patted Wu Shan's shoulder. She lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Wu Shan, and only said to him indifferently: "Since you have definitely decided, then go and do it well. "Big Sis is waiting for news of your triumphant return."

When it was time to leave, Duan Yunfei leaped onto her horse and was about to leave, when she suddenly shouted "Big Sister" from behind.

Duan Yunfei turned her head and smiled at Wu Shan.

Wu Shan hesitated for a moment, then extended his hand out and scratched his forehead in embarrassment. He then said to Duan Yunfei: "Elder sister, you have to take good care of yourself in the capital.

In the end, he was still a child. Wu Shan's tone was somewhat immature, but heaven knew how serious his words were.

Duan Yunfei's lips slightly trembled, and nodded towards Wu Shan. She then rode her horse back in the direction of the palace.

This trip to the southwest was a long one; the weather was cold and the dew was heavy, so the king had to be careful.

Early in the morning on the second day, Wu Shan packed his things and took the chance to leave Wu Mansion before the sun was up.

"Young master, you're leaving now. Are you sure you don't want to say goodbye to the old master and his wife?" Wu Shan walked to the door. The butler was still worried, but frowned and continued to ask Wu Shan.

Wu Shan turned around and looked at the Wu Mansion behind him, and his heart was still filled with unwillingness to part. He sighed and shook his head at the butler. He had to part ways with Jun Qianli after all. It's still early, so there's no need to tell them. "

After Wu Shan finished speaking, he quickly rode on his horse to the palace below to meet with General Liu Feng's deputy general Huang Xu.

Huang Xu had been waiting for Wu Shan since a long time ago. In the past few days in the capital, he did not need to worry about food and clothing, but his heart was filled with pain.

When he saw Wu Shan walking over, he hurriedly bent down and bowed towards Wu Shan. Greetings, General Wu Shan. "

"General Huang, please get up." Wu Shan quickly supported Huang Xu up, and after exchanging some small talk with Huang Xu, they left for the southwest. Yuwen Di commanded his close relatives and guards to personally escort Wu Shan away. This was enough to show how much he valued this matter.

Around half an hour later, the sky outside began to turn white.

"General Wu, the Tetrandrine is right in front of us. We are also travel worn out from the journey and have worked hard. Do you want to take a look, General Wu?" When the carriage reached the Tetrandrine, Huang Xu suddenly said to Wu Shan excitedly.

Outside the pavilion, by the ancient path. The grass was blue in color. The ends of the heavens and the corners of the earth were at least half friends with each other.

Since ancient times, people always liked to send others off in this Tetrandrine. They didn't even know how much of their memories and thoughts were carried in this pavilion.

"Every time I set off for the war, my wife and family would always send me off. Therefore, every time I passed here, I felt really bad." General Huang Xu smiled as he spoke to Wu Shan, but unconsciously, the corners of his eyes started to moisten.

When a general dies in a hundred battles, a warrior will return ten years later. To the southwest, it was a long journey. They also didn't know when they would be able to return. This time, Huang Xu had been ordered to return to the capital to report the military news to the Emperor. Naturally, he was unable to return home to visit his wife and children. However, he was unable to enter even after passing by the door of his house. Wu Shan did not know how sad he would feel in his heart.

Thinking about it, Wu Shan also felt a bit of sadness in his heart. He turned around and nodded to Huang Xu, "It seems like it's still early, so we shouldn't rush there. Why don't we rest here for a while?"

Wu Shan said, then walked down from the carriage and headed towards Tetrandrine.

Last night, it had snowed all night, and the Tetrandrine was also covered by a thick layer of snow.

The snow seemed to never end.
