The reborn general girl is the emperor

Chapter 159

"Frontier guards have been reduced again and again, and those who can take on major positions are not enough, so it is easy to cause chaos."

Yan Qing solemnly told Yan Zhongqi, "When the country is in crisis, I hope the general will put himself first. Only by saving your life can you defend your country."

Looking at his nephew, who was in his teens and twenties, and telling himself solemnly and earnestly, Yan Zhongqi seemed to have seen Yan Kangming, who was sworn in as a general in front of the three armies, in a trance.

Regardless of age and status, at this moment, the two of them are just for the sake of robes.

Yan Zhongqi pulled his lips in a rare way: "To each other."

After all, the three of them made detailed arrangements for the subsequent suspended animation, escape, and the subsequent control of Beidi until the climax of the moon.

On February 27, the fourth year of Qianyuan, Yan Zhongqi led more than a hundred people from the capital of Beidi to Yikou Pass for border inspection.

Before departure, Yan Zhongqi rarely took a seven-day bath and stayed at home to accompany the elder and elder sister.

Yan Qing mentioned to Old General Qin about being promoted to the defense envoys of the three regions and going to the Northwest Joint Defense Battalion. He originally wanted to set off with Yan Zhongqi and others, but Old Madam Qin was reluctant to give up.

"It's rare for my good grandson to come here once, and he will be leaving in less than a month. This time, he doesn't know when he will come back."

Mrs. Qin took Yan Qing's hand and chattered, her eyes full of reluctance, "Grandma knows that you soldiers must obey orders and shouldn't delay you, but you will leave now..."

Mrs. Qin looked at Yan Qing, then at Yan Zhongqi, momentarily at a loss for words, unable to let go but unable to stay, "Anyway, why don't you stay until after Jiji ceremony?"

Mrs. Qin looked at Yan Qing eagerly.

Yan Qing looked troubled.

There are still ten days before the Shangsi Festival on March [-]. The current situation is changing, and it is difficult to send information from the outside to the Northland. There is no way to know what changes will happen in one day. In ten days...

There are too many variables.

"You don't have the letter from the Marquis of Zhenbei right now. If you want to go to the joint defense camp, you must at least get a pass."

Yan Zhongqi, who came to chat with the old lady, but didn't say a few words, gave a rare helping hand when the old lady Qin asked to keep someone, "Even if the foster father doesn't get stuck with you, the government's It will take about seven or eight days for the approval process to go down. One day more and one day less will not make much difference."

Yan Qing looked at Yan Zhongqi, but Yan Zhongqi lowered his eyelashes to cover his emotions by drinking tea, and said in a soft voice, "It's rare to have leisure, so staying a few more days... is also good."

Yan Qing narrowed his eyes.

The son wants to support but does not wait for the relatives, Yan Zhongqi is admonishing himself, don't find out in the end that we can get along in a few days, and then regret it.

"it is good."

Yan Qing raised a small smile, and complied with Mrs. Qin's persuasion, "I'll leave after Shangsi."

Old Madam Qin was overjoyed, she hugged Yan Qing's sweetheart and talked and laughed.

Yan Qin's eyes fell on Yan Zhongqi.

When will this younger brother of mine persuade people that small affection is better than righteousness?

When will my daughter listen to others like this again?

After leaving the Shoukang Academy, Yan Qin sent Yan Qing out, but found Yan Zhongqi alone.

"Ah Qi, tell sister the truth, do you and Qing'er have something to hide from sister?"

As soon as Yan Zhongqi entered the hall, Yan Qin looked over sternly, and asked sharply, leaving no room for Yan Zhongqi to think, "Is it dangerous for you to go to the border patrol this time?"

Looking steadily into Yan Qin's eyes, Yan Zhongqi seemed to have returned to the time when his elder sister asked him about his homework when he was a child.

"Why do you think so, sister?"

Yan Zhongqi bent his knuckles, put his hands behind his back, and smiled slyly at Yan Qin as before, "Since it is a border patrol, there are naturally dangers, but it is much better than going to the battlefield. I have fought so many battles." You're alive, just patrolling the border, what can happen? Sister, you just like to worry more."

Yan Zhongqi said it calmly and freely, and even complained that Yan Qin's contempt for him, but Yan Qin just looked at him fixedly.

This made Yan Zhongqi panic.

Since he was a child, what he feared the most was that his elder sister would look at him with calm eyes, as if she could see through all his thoughts.

In the past, under such gaze, he could not hold on for long.

But this time it was different, he couldn't confess to her.

Yan Zhongqi's knuckles tightened, his palms were sweating, but he asked Yan Qin with a puzzled smile, "Why does Sister look at Ah Qi like this? Could it be that Ah Qi can still lie to Sister?"

Yan Qinshi pursed her lips, with disappointment in her phoenix eyes: "Ah Qi, do you know that every time you tell a lie, you like to put your hands behind your back and explain a lot?"

The smile on Yan Zhongqi's face froze, his clenched fingertips almost plunged into his flesh.

After a long time, Yan Zhongqi was finally defeated and looked at Yan Qinshi dejectedly.

"Sure enough, I've never been able to hide it from my sister."

Yan Zhongqi lowered his eyes, but his eyes were always chasing the people not far away, and his tone was soft but firm, "But I can't confess this matter to Sister. Sister, don't ask."

Hearing these words, Yan Qin clenched the veil tightly, her breathing was stagnant.

"But... it's life-threatening?"

When Yan Qinshi asked this, his voice was trembling.

She knew Yan Zhongqi too well, if it was really nothing serious, he definitely wouldn't look like this.

Yan Zhongqi didn't answer, but just lowered his eyes and looked at Yan Qinshi cautiously, as if he did something wrong when he was a child and tried hard to please her and ask her to forgive him.

This silent answer made Yan Qin's heart tense, his straight back bent a little, his beautiful eyes drooped slightly, and fell in the empty space in confusion.

Seeing Yan Qinshi's dazed expression, Yan Zhongqi pursed his lips and teeth, feeling a prickly pain in his heart, but in the end he just turned his eyes away and stood rooted in place, like a child who has made a mistake and is waiting to be punished .

He wished that Yan Qin would scold him like he did when he was a child.

Scolding him for being ignorant, scolding him for being cruel, whatever, as long as she doesn't keep silent like this, torturing herself with words in her heart.

However, Yan Qin didn't scold him, she just asked: "Father and Aunt, do you know about this?"

The slightly trembling voice, mixed with hoarseness and overflowing with exhaustion, hit Yan Zhongqi's heart word by word, and then fixed him in place, and could only look at her from the same distance as when he was a child.

Yan Zhongqi bowed his head and muttered: "I don't know."

Another moment of silence.

After a long time, he heard a heavy breathing, like a sigh, like a mourning.

Then came Yan Qin's voice: "No wonder you want to take a rest before leaving. You made up your mind not to come back."

Yan Zhongqi clenched his lips and teeth, forbearance and seemed unwilling to refute: "I will be back."

Yan Qin looked over.

Yan Zhongqi raised his head to meet Yan Qinshi's gaze, and repeated every word clearly: "As long as I'm still alive, I will definitely come back."

Yan Qin was slightly startled, her vermilion lips moved, and it took a long time before she said: "Okay."
