n“You have to go back.”

n

nHe had to return to the military camp since problems arose there.

n

nHe was responsible for all the soldiers in the military. Moreover, some people might be risking their lives to plot against him to make the Emperor unhappy with him.

n

nUnfortunately, it would only be their wishful thinking.

n

n“Jiuyue, I’ll leave Yan Nuo with you. Yiyun will also stay here for a while.”

n

nYan Nuo opened his mouth but did not know how to speak his mind. He wanted to say that he could not stay behind now because he had to accompany him.

n

nHowever, he could not refute his master’s arrangements. He could only substitute it with silence.

n

n“Yiyun can stay, but Yan Nuo…”

n

nAn Jiuyue looked at Yan Nuo. He had always been by Qian Jiyun’s side and must hold a pivotal position.

n

nIt would be more than a waste of talent to leave him here, right?

n

n“Yan Nuo should go with you. I don’t have anything important to do here besides chopping firewood. I’ll have Warrior-Servant One stay here,” she said after thinking for a moment.

n

n“That works too.” Qian Jiyun was silent for a moment before nodding.

n

nAlthough he did not quite understand why Jiuyue said Warrior-Servant One was not a real person, he had witnessed his ability. Even he was impressed by his superior skills.

n

nHaving Warrior-Servant One here is more than enough to protect Jiuyue and the others— Wait!

n

nHe looked up at An Jiuyue.

n

n“Jiuyue, are you leaving Warrior-Servant One here?” he asked in confusion.

n

nThis doesn’t sound right. That shouldn’t be the case, right? Does she want to send Warrior-Servant Two to accompany us? Or…

n

n“I’ve thought about it. Zheng’er and Rong’er need to learn too. I’ve decided to bring them out to broaden their horizons,” An Jiuyue said with a smile.

n

n“You’re coming with us?” Qian Jiyun was surprised. He did not expect Jiuyue to willingly follow them to the military camp.

n

nHe was not worried that An Jiuyue would not be used to the military camp, but…

n

n“I can’t do that?” An Jiuyue raised her eyebrows and asked, “Or is there a rule prohibiting women from entering the camp?”

n

n“No.” Qian Jiyun shook his head immediately.

n

nScrew the rules. I don’t care about them if Jiuyue is willing to come with me.

n

nBesides, there was no such rule. There were female generals in their country’s military camp, after all.

n

n“Shall we set off tomorrow morning? Yan Nuo, prepare the horses,” he instructed before turning to An Jiuyue. “Jiuyue, bring whatever you need. I’ll pack with you.”

n

nAn Jiuyue shook her head. “No need. I don’t have anything I need to bring.”

n

nShe had stored all the useful items in her home in her microcosmic space. There was no need to pack anything.

n

nHowever, she did not know when she would be back. She had to leave more food and vegetables for Qian Yiyun here. Otherwise, she would have to resort to eating wild vegetables for survival.

n

n“I’m going to prepare something. Let’s eat first. We’ll talk after dinner.”

n

n…

n

nAfter dinner, Yan Nuo went to wash the dishes.

n

nAn Jiuyue entered her room, claiming she needed to pack her luggage.

n

n“Big Brother, are you really going to be so heartless and abandon me here?” Qian Yiyun asked softly as she looked at her brother rather resentfully.
