Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 101 Asking for something but not getting it

Pei Nai recalled what he said when he was unexpectedly recognized by him at Li's house: "You were the one who found me in the first place, you can't leave me behind again."

"After being betrayed by my closest relatives and dying once, everything has to start all over again." Pei Nai rejected him again, with displeasure in his eyes.

"Let me help! My family is a family of doctors, and I'm a woman, so there's no secret between me and General Pei." Zhi Tao suggested, looking at their expressions.

Seeing that Pei Nai was already angry, Gu Jinheng lowered his hands in vain and said nothing more. He turned around and stood outside the flag.

Han Ruize was also waiting outside and was too lazy to talk to him.

Zhitao sealed the flag, and Pei Nai took off his armor, undressed and undressed.

The black clothes under the breastplate suppressed the blood color, but the white clothes inside were soaked with blood.

Zhi Tao looked at the glare and hissed. Pei Nai smiled and said to her, "I didn't say anything, but you looked like you were in pain."

"Doesn't it hurt? Such a deep wound." Zhi Tao's eyes turned red.

Pei Nai shook his head, picked up the handkerchief from the boiling water with a bamboo stick, and used it to wipe his wound.

Suddenly, internal force poured into Pei Nai's body, the temperature of the muscles in her waist changed slightly, and the blood surged. After a brief period of numbness and itching, the pain disappeared from her mind.

Gu Jinheng's Dandao Shenqi
Pei Nai curled his lips to avoid scolding him to take it back.

After wiping the white handkerchief a few times, it was covered with sticky blood. When she washed the handkerchief repeatedly, the water in the basin was scarlet all over.

Knowing that Gu Jinheng didn't mean it.

But the pain was gone. His Qi stayed around Pei Nai's wound, causing a tingling and unbearable sensation, as if someone was touching it with their fingertips.

Pei Nai gritted his teeth and endured it.

Zhitao applied the medicine evenly on her wound and carefully wrapped it with bandage.

After she put on her clothes again, the divine energy of the Dandao in her body gradually dissipated.

Pei Nai jumped off the wooden box he was sitting on, pulled open the flag, and glared at Gu Jinheng angrily.

Han Ruize stood by and didn't understand what was going on.

Gu Jinheng's expression did not change. He observed the bandage and looked at Pei Nai with a much gentler look in his eyes. "Have you not eaten since this morning? I asked someone to prepare lunch and will take you to eat some."

"No need, I've prepared it too. I'll take her back to her residence for dinner." Han Ruize patted Pei Nai's shoulder and motioned Pei Nai to follow.

Pei Nai was pulled by the words of the two and subconsciously followed Han Ruize.

Gu Jinheng grabbed her sleeve from behind, his eyes filled with sadness and a pleading look that Pei Nai had never seen before.

"How can you take her to dinner?" Han Ruize sneered, "A colleague?"

Gu Jinheng said nothing, just waiting for Pei Nai to make a decision.

Someone turned the corner with a brisk step.

"Mingzhi! I've just finished my work. Do you want to try some Qilu cuisine?" Da Xian's excited voice paused because Gu Jinheng and Han Ruize turned their heads around with murderous looks.

Pei Nai shook off Gu Jinheng's hand and said to them, "I'm going to go back and eat. It's a good time to take a break."

Han Ruize's mouth corners raised, his eyes brightened a little, and finally he glanced at Gu Jinheng, then left with Pei Nai.

Gu Jinheng's hand froze in mid-air. He just stood there, watching Pei Nai's figure gradually walking away.

The longer the subordinates followed Gu Jinheng, the more difficult it was for them to understand what they saw.

Ten years ago, it was always Pei Nai who came to call Gu Jinheng for dinner, but because he was busy with government affairs, he would refuse if he was in a meeting. Pei Nai did not go alone, but often waited in the side room.

There is a reversal every ten years. I used to be used to it and never took it to heart, but now I can’t get it even if I ask for it.

"Sir, you should have at least some food." Someone beside him advised.

Gu Jinheng shook his head and pressed his hand on his chest, where there was a dark blue purse that Pei Nai had once made for him. It seemed as if such a touch could resist the dull pain in his heart.

Da Xian also withdrew his gaze from Pei Nai and Han Ruize's backs and looked at Gu Jinheng.

His look was too provocative and blatant.

Da Xian was of noble status, and everyone did not want to damage the friendship between the two countries, so they suppressed the urge to curse him.

But someone still asked, "What is the Second Prince looking at?"

She signaled him to stop. Da Xian laughed sarcastically, "It depends on what she saw in your country's Duke Duan Ding back then."

Gu Jinheng's gaze shifted from being confused to Da Xi'an.

Da Xian was surprised that he didn't suppress Huo Jiang's Yin Gong. He thought that he felt guilty and couldn't get angry.

Da Xian's eyes were filled with sorrow. "She is so good, why don't you know how to cherish her? Have you ever given her enough care and love? How much grievance must she have suffered to be like this?"

There seemed to be a layer of mist in Gu Jinheng's eyes and he was unable to speak.

Da Xian was born into the royal family of Qilu, and understood better than the average person how Gu Jinheng rose step by step from a mute bastard of a marquisate to the powerful Duke Duan Ding who was bowed to by the whole world.

If Pei Nai had not chosen him, Emperor Tianyao and the old Marquis Duan Ding would have been forced to change the candidates they were cultivating. Even if he was very capable, he had two legitimate brothers above him, so it would never be his turn to inherit the title, let alone entrust the new emperor Xiao Mingyi to him.

What's more, even the life of the new emperor Xiao Mingyi was saved by Pei Nai from Tao Jiangtian Axe and Zhou Mingfang at the critical moment.

Everything Pei Nai does is making him successful.

The luckiest thing that happened to Gu Jinheng in his life was that he won Pei Nai's heart.

He was raised from a lowly position like a dog to a height that everyone looked up to and admired.

It was even Pei Nai who proposed to him, but he never paid anything in return. It came too easily, so he looked down on her and was indifferent.

Whenever Da Xian thought of Pei Nai's Palm of Ten Thousand Hates at the Dengyun Heroes Conference, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her. He kept stabbing Gu Jinheng in the heart, and turned and left after saying the last sentence.

"If she could choose me, I would never let go of her hand, no matter her last name."

Walking on the stone road between the houses in the woods, far away from the smoke and smell of blood at the entrance of the village, Pei Nai felt that his nostrils were filled with the fragrance of plants, as if he was reborn.

She took a deep breath, with satisfaction in her eyes.

Han Ruize was looking at her from the side, his smile showing a hint of doting.

"You guys have great taste, this place is perfect for living!" Pei Nai exclaimed in admiration.

"You can stay later." Han Ruize added.

Pei Nai smiled, "I came here to invite you to come out of the mountain, why are you trying to keep me here?"

A clear cry interrupted Pei Nai's words.

Through the fence and bushes, Pei Nai and Han Ruize saw a pretty young woman in a nearby house, hugging Li Lan's legs and crying bitterly.

That was Li Lan’s wife, the girl from Qilu who was worried that he would be poisoned and always carried various miraculous antidotes with him.

Because Li Lan lost an arm in the war, she was so heartbroken that she burst into tears.

Li Lan's wound had been bandaged. Although his face was pale, he still bent over to comfort her.

The other good hand touched her head, his eyes full of love.

Pei Nai's heart melted as she watched their interaction.

But thinking of the culprit of all this, his eyes suddenly turned cold and he said, "My intuition tells me that Yue Cang will not give up easily, and the war will start again soon."

"Whatever you want to do, I will cooperate with you." Han Ruize thought about the instructions of his ancestors, "People always wonder why the Han family is loyal to the Pei family army and does not set up their own family, but now I understand them very well."

Zhu Beiqiang and her make people determined and never regret until death.

Just like what Han Ruize said to her ten years ago on the eve of the Battle of Cliff Valley, on the high ground opposite Stonehenge, under the shining starry sky.

She was born to be a tiger and a dragon. She shouldn't be confined by the house. She should have a wider world.

Penay did it.

And how is Han Ruize different?

He looked at the people coming and going in the village, and at the curls of smoke rising from the houses as the villagers returned home one after another.

He was born to be on the battlefield, to belong to the Tianyao Army, to fight side by side with Pei Nai, and to live and die with the soldiers.

For the whip in his hand that has been passed down from generation to generation, for the honor and responsibility brought to him by his surname, for the mountains and rivers of his country, for the people, and for everything he protects, he will move forward courageously and never give in, even if it means death.

It is fate, but I accept it with joy.

In this battle, he found himself again.
