When Xiao Wan heard that he was going to change the name of the pug to "Wishing", he immediately refused. "Wishing" was not as nice as being normal, so he straightforwardly shook his head and rejected it, "No! It's not nice. "

"Zhu Guanliang, you don't need to teach all this nonsense to Xiao Wan." She stood up and walked towards Zhu Guanliang, her eyes sharp and her tone imposing, "Don't think that I don't know what you're trying to do, is it interesting for you to mock me like that?"

Zhu Guanliang raised his head and looked at her, once again acting innocent. "How did I mock the general? This dog's calmness is the same as the general's calmness. "

"How do you know I'm at peace? "These two words are the same word. You're mocking me, so don't find excuses for yourself here!"

"Why should I mock you?" He looked at her calmly. "Why do I feel like the general is deliberately looking for trouble because of what happened last night?"

He really knew how to grasp her weakness. After saying that, Zhou Leping was indeed speechless, and couldn't think of how to retort after a long time. Finally, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left in large strides.

Xiao Wan curiously and foolishly grabbed onto Zhu Guanliang's knee and asked, "Why did the general leave? "His face is still as red as an apple. What's the meaning of finding trouble with him?"

Zhu Guanliang was in a good mood, he touched her head and said, "You'll know when you get to the academy."

Zhou Leping forced himself to forget about the night he was born. When he saw Zhao Shiqian again, even though he would feel uncomfortable, he didn't display it in the slightest, calmly as if it was just a dream.

That night, Zhao Shiqian was indeed a little impulsive, but he did not regret it at all. He thought that when Zhou Leping saw him again, he would somewhat feel shy and uncomfortable, but there was no response from her face at all.

He tried to unearth even the tiniest bit of her that was different from before, but in the end he found nothing.

On this day, Zhou Leping entered the palace to take a look at Zhou Lean. Hearing this, Zhao Shiqian called He Shibi over to send a message, telling him that Zhou Leping would look for him in the main hall later on due to an urgent matter.

He Shibi only knew that Zhao Shiqian had snuck out of the palace on the night of Zhou Leping's birthday. Not only that, Zhao Shiqian had also snuck out of the palace once to visit General's Estate on the day Zhou Leping was placed under house arrest.

The Emperor did not allow anyone to follow him, but they could not really leave him alone. A few experts of the imperial household secretly followed behind him, and when Zhou Leping returned on the day he was born, they had been laughing for no reason. Thinking about it, it should be related to Zhou Leping.

He had been by the emperor's side for so many years. The last time he saw him smile like that was four years ago.

He Shibi obediently passed down the orders. Zhou Leping and Zhou Lean were chatting beside each other when he was suddenly interrupted. Zhou Lean's face turned ugly.

He Shibi ignored Zhou Lean's expression and said respectfully, "Greetings, my lord. Greetings, General. The Emperor has sent a servant here to pass the order.

Zhou Leping's expression looked a little uncomfortable, but he could not disobey the emperor's orders, so he could only say yes.

He Shibi was being watched intently by everyone, his scalp was numb and he wanted to quickly leave, so he replied yes, but without waiting for a moment, he turned and left.

"Right now, the emperor is very reliant on his elder sister."

"It's probably because of the war with the Qi Kingdom."

"Fight against the Qi Kingdom?" Zhou Lean put down his cup, his expression suddenly becoming solemn, "Yu Wu is not out yet, why are you fighting with Qi Kingdom yet?"

"I didn't approve of it at first, but the Emperor insisted that although the Qi Kingdom's strength is not as good as that of the State Of Zhao's, the Mechanical Technique is the most advanced one. In the future, it will certainly become the greatest threat to the State Of Zhao, and from last year onwards, the two nations' borders have been in constant conflict.

Zhou Lean frowned, "Then isn't that sister still leaving?"

"That's only natural. I'm a soldier, and the border is my place. Who would stay in the capital? I've come today to talk to you about this matter. If nothing unexpected happens, I might leave next month."

"Then …" Zhou Lean's tone was choked with emotions, "Then why aren't we celebrating the new year at home?"

"I might not be able to wait until then, I still have you and Big Brother when I wasn't at home in the past, I didn't expect to be back this year, and I had to leave before the new year, you also married into the palace, big brother is alone this year …"

Only those who had experienced life and death would know the importance of company, and only those who had experienced it would know how terrifying loneliness was. The New Year was a reunion between families, and when they thought about it carefully, it seemed like their family hadn't spent many years together for a happy New Year.

The anger in Zhou Lean's heart disappeared. Leaning into Zhou Leping's embrace, the mist in his eyes, he asked: "How long will it take for my sister to go for?"

"There's no fixed date for the war. It could be a few months, or it could be a few more years." She sighed, "A battle with Qi Kingdom is not as easy as a battle with Wu Yu. Since the army has already sent out many soldiers, I'm not confident either."

"I believe my elder sister. My elder sister is an invincible general. This time, no … "Not only this time, but every time, I will definitely be able to return safely."

Zhou Leping looked at her lovingly, "As long as you don't resent me this time, I'll be satisfied if you don't write me any letters. During the four years I left, you never wrote me a single letter."

Zhou Lean's face was filled with guilt, "Who told you not to tell me when you left."

"Alright, you are a noble now, you can't act so coquettishly in the future. After I leave, I will have to count on you to take care of him." Alright, you are a noble now, you can not be so coquettish-in the future.

Zhou Lean patted his chest and assured her, "With me here, you can rest assured."

The two sisters talked about their childhood affairs. In the end, it was getting late, so Zhou Leping left and headed straight for the Imperial Palace to meet the Emperor.

With the Imperial examinations nearing, Zhao Shiqian also had something on her mind. When she arrived, she just so happened to see a few inner court officials coming out with their heads down and their faces covered with dirt. When they met, they clasped their hands and bowed, and those few people walked past Zhou Leping while sighing.

He Shibi invited her in. She was a little nervous from all the sighs and sighs, and her breathing became lighter when she went in.

She thought that the Emperor was in a bad mood and should not have a good mood, but she never expected that he would speak in a gentle tone and ask for someone to give her a seat. When she sat down, the hall suddenly quieted down.

For some reason, when she was alone with him, she would always have the urge to run away.

"I've seen the Worthy Lady Zhou, what did they talk about?"

"It's just a common occurrence. This subject will be returning to the borders after a while, and I'll bid my farewells to the Worthy Lady Zhou."

Zhao Shiqian was surprised, "So fast?"

"Didn't the border army report to the emperor yesterday?"
