Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 175 Commanding the Qilu Army
This was a result that no one had expected.

Pei Nai, the former commander of the Pei family army of Tianyao, took command of the entire Qilu army in the counterattack of the Valley Country, which was unprecedented.

But the Qilu generals behind Daxian had no objection.

On the contrary, many people were looking forward to Pei Nai taking the jade token.

Is it because they have never had a female head coach before, so they find it novel? Pei Nai is also a little puzzled.

When Gu Jinheng and Han Ruize saw Da Xian handing over the jade token, their faces turned pale.

Pei Nai could even feel the fluctuations of pressure.

Pei Nai did not take it immediately, and asked tentatively: "No fraud? If I take this, it won't be the same as accepting the "marriage proposal," right?

There were too many outsiders present, so Pei Nai hesitated and didn't finish his words.

But Daxian understood what she was going to say, and laughed at her words, shaking his head and saying, "No, if you're worried, you can return it to me later."

Qi Lu has always been Tianyao's ally and basically has no ill will towards her.

Although her arms were severely injured at this time and she had no fighting ability, Gu Jinheng could travel with her and translate for her, so she would not be in danger of her life and would not have to worry about someone from the Qilu side changing their minds and seizing power.

Pei Nai's right to speak is greater than that of both Han Ruize and Shao Liran.

Let Pei Nai take charge of the Qilu army temporarily, so that when conflicts arise among the three parties, someone can make timely decisions.

With Daxian's assurance, Pei Nai was ready to take the jade token. When his hand reached out to him, Daxian suddenly took back some of the jade token.

Pei Na looked up at him in confusion.

Da Xian looked at her arm with a burning gaze and said, "The only request is that you cannot touch the spear in this battle."

This is the same as what Gu Jinheng and the others did, for the sake of her health.

Pei Nai curled his lips and nodded, saying, "Okay." Then he took the jade token from Da Xian.

The moment she received the jade token, all the generals of Qilu knelt on one knee and saluted her, and Da Xi Shangle also performed the special ceremony for a royal woman.

Pei Nai was a little surprised. He put his right hand on his left chest, bowed slightly, and returned the military salute of the Tianyao Pei family army to everyone.

Only then did the Qilu generals stand up.

"Is there anything you want to hand over early today?" Pei Nai asked.

Da Xian nodded to the subordinate beside him and said, "This is my adjutant Wenren Jiangmo in the military. He will take you to inspect the various departments. Later I will ask them to organize the situation of each department into a manual so that you can take over more quickly."

Pei Nai nodded, "Okay."

Everyone went over the plan twice more.

After the alliance meeting ended, Pei Nai and Gu Jinheng stayed and prepared to go to the Qilu camp with Da Xian's adjutant Wenren Jiangmo.

After most of the others had left, Daxian slowly stood up.

"At least get someone to help you." Pei Nai couldn't bear it anymore and reminded.

Daxian shook his head stubbornly, "No."

"So stubborn." Pei Nai commented.

Da Xi'an glanced at her, "Your arms were clearly injured, but you still used your arms to catch me when I jumped down from the air in the vine net, and then you ran to chase Qingyun Tianji, and your arms got hurt like this. Am I as stubborn as you? You really want to make me feel bad, right?"

Although they were words of blame, the tone was gentle.

Pei Nai was annoyed by him again and couldn't say anything. When she was speechless, Gu Jinheng tugged at the corner of her clothes.

Pei Nai looked up at Gu Jinheng, but saw him tilt his head slightly with a puzzled expression.

As if he was asking her for an explanation. Pei Nai's eyes widened slightly, thinking about how to explain, but everyone had already left the meeting hall one after another, and they followed them, and the topic came to an end.

As soon as she walked out of the cave hall, Da Xi Shangle came up to her and teased her, "I heard that you and my brother were alone together in the Twenty-One Region? What happened?"

"Alone? No." Pei Nai shuddered.

She did not forget that there was a jealous person next to her.

She recalled that although Gu Jinheng and Han Ruize were not there, Grandma Xun and others were present when she was with Da Xian.

Da Xi Shangle showed a suspicious look, "Come on, my brother's eyes are full of affection, and he even gave you the jade token."

"What is this jade token used for?" Pei Nai felt something was wrong and asked.

Da Xi Shangle smiled naively, looked at her, then looked at Gu Jinheng, without saying a word, turned around and left quickly.

Pei Nai was confused and looked up at Gu Jinheng, hoping he could answer her, but he was pinched on the cheek by his hand in anger.

After returning from the Qilu camp, Gu Jinheng's subordinates reported that Ju Liancheng had woken up from his coma.

Pei Nai went to visit him with Gu Jinheng.

When Pei Nai and his companions entered the cave where Ju Liancheng was recuperating, he was lying on the couch, staring at the ceiling in a daze, his eyes motionless.

There was darkness in those eyes, as if all hope had been extinguished.

"Lian Cheng?" Pei Nai asked, "Is your body still burning?"

Ju Liancheng then turned his head and said to Gu Jinheng, "Sir, can I talk to General Mingpei alone for a while?"

Gu Jinheng looked at Pei Nai, and Pei Nai nodded to him, telling him not to worry.

Gu Jinheng turned and left, leaving the cave to the two of them.

Pei Nai could understand why Ju Liancheng only wanted to talk to her. After all, for Ju Liancheng, Pei Nai lived for Mingzhi and was his only relative in the Valley Kingdom.

"How is it? Do you feel pain from the poison in your body? When we return to Chaoyang, I will find the Worry-Relieving Pills and I can completely detoxify you." Pei Nai said slowly.

Ju Liancheng did not answer her. Instead, he stiffened his body and said to her in an extremely sad tone, "Mingzhi, I hate myself so much. I hate that I don't know martial arts. I obviously have a photographic memory, but I resist learning martial arts and complain about it. If my martial arts were half as strong as yours, I would be able to protect my father. Maybe I could hold on until General Shao arrives with his troops."

Since Pei Nai was a child, her relatives have left her one after another. With each piece of bad news, her heart has become hardened.

But she could understand Ju Liancheng's sadness, because he was present when Ju Yan passed away, but he could only fall into the abyss of the square well, helpless.

"Perhaps there is such a possibility, but it is a life-threatening situation and too difficult. There is no need to dwell on the past. It will make the living indulge in the non-existent past and blame themselves for what they have done." Pei Nai comforted him.

Ju Liancheng burst into tears, tears welling up in his eyes. "He always hoped that I would grow up. He ordered me to go out of Chaoyang and walk with you guys. But before I could do anything, he couldn't see anything."

Pei Nai also felt sad when he heard this. "You still have your mother. You have to cheer up, get rid of this damn poison, recover your health, and become a man who is respected by others. Until one day, people no longer call you the son of Wan Dian Zhishi Ju Yan, but call Ju Yan the father of Ju Lian Cheng. Only then can his spirit in heaven be comforted and truly rest in peace."

Ju Liancheng turned his head back again, pulled the quilt over his neck, and covered his eyes with the edge of the quilt, hiding his emotions that were about to collapse.

Pei Nai patted his shoulder through the quilt and said, "People always have to learn to get through this. Ju Yan is a hero. Those who were saved by him and benefited by him will remember him for generations. He would hope that you would support the Ju family and take good care of your mother."

He can only overcome the sadness in his heart by himself.

Pei Nai had said everything he needed to say, and seeing that Ju Liancheng was fine, he got up and left.

Gu Jinheng was waiting for her outside. When he heard her footsteps, he lifted the door curtain before her to prevent her from exerting force with her arms.

Pei Nai stepped over the threshold.

Gu Jinheng lowered the curtain, then gently took her hand and said to her, "Go back and rest?"
