Liu Banruo sat alone, her wine cup lightly raised, but the wine did not seem to be reduced. Her eyes sometimes moved between the campfire and the laughing soldiers, and sometimes passed by Mu Yihan's figure, as if she was looking for something.

Cheng Yan seemed to be particularly indulgent tonight, and after a few drinks he felt a little bit high. He staggered towards Yun Xi, holding up his glass, his face filled with relief for having survived the catastrophe.

"Damn it, I had a narrow escape this time! I thought I was going to die in the Lingnan Palace. I'm glad I survived. I really need to have a good drink!" Cheng Yan's voice was a little drunken and full of emotion.

Yun Xi's injuries had not yet fully recovered, and Mu Yihan had originally not allowed her to drink. But seeing Lei Hong sitting beside her with a concerned look on his face, his eyes full of excitement after surviving a disaster, he finally relented.

"Just take a small sip." Mu Yihan said to Yun Xi with a smile.

Yun Xi smiled and raised her glass to clink with Cheng Yan's, and asked, "Were you scared just now?"

Cheng Yan drank the whole drink, smacked his lips, and replied, "Afraid? How can I not be afraid? Before the general came, we were almost unable to hold on. If the enemy came again, I'm afraid we would be wiped out. Let me tell you, I wanted to run away at that time. But when I saw that you didn't retreat even though you were so badly injured, I couldn't swallow this anger. Damn it, am I Cheng Yan worse than a woman?"

Yun Xi knew that Cheng Yan's words were the truth after drinking, so she didn't care.

She smiled and said, "You've performed very well for your first time on the battlefield."

Cheng Yan looked at Yun Xi with drunken eyes, his eyes full of admiration: "Isn't this your first time too?"

Yun Xi shook her head and said, "I'm different. I treat every challenge in my life as a war. So, this is definitely not my first time on the battlefield."

Mu Yihan looked at Yun Xi quietly from the side. Under the light of the fire, her face looked even more beautiful.

Cheng Yan suddenly widened his eyes and asked, "If General Mu hadn't come, would we be finished?"

Yun Xi nodded and said frankly: "I'm afraid I'll lose miserably." Liu Banruo drank the wine in the glass, his eyes inadvertently swept across Jin Ning's face, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

Indeed, the situation just now was almost irreversible. But Mu Yihan's appearance was like a ray of light, turning the tide of the battle. Several generals were able to free up their hands to command the battle, and the situation quickly reversed.

Liu Prajna couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it was just a little bit short! Unfortunately, she still failed in the end.

Ergou came over with a wine jug and pushed Cheng Yan: "Are you drunk? Take a rest!" He had just been drinking with the soldiers when he heard Cheng Yan shouting loudly about wanting to escape, as if he was afraid that others didn't know.

Cheng Yan chuckled and patted Er Gou on the shoulder: "Why are you drunk? I can still drink another three pounds!"

Ergou laughed and said, "If you drink another three pounds, we won't have anything to drink."

Lan Xiang also smiled and joked: "Just let him drink it. This guy is really scared."

Cheng Yan was immediately unhappy when he heard this: "Who... who was scared? Isn't it normal to run away? Who wouldn't want to run away if they were going to be killed? Ask Xiao Yunxi, did she also run away when her father came to Cangzhou?"

Yun Xi couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this. She knew Cheng Yan was just talking nonsense after drinking, so she didn't bother with him. Mu Yihan looked at her deeply, and seemed to appreciate her calmness and wisdom even more.

As the night deepened, the bonfire still leaped with cheerful flames.

Liu Prajna sat there quietly, seemingly thinking about something.

Yun Xi and Mu Yihan stood side by side, looking at the war-torn land, their hearts filled with expectations and determination for the future. (End of this chapter)
