Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Qianqian hurriedly lowered her voice and said, "Brother Luo, it's me, Wang Ming'an!"

Upon hearing this name, Luo Shun's eyes instantly lit up with brightness. He excitedly wanted to cry out, but before he could finish speaking, Qianqian swiftly covered his mouth.

"Shh... keep your voice down!" Qianqian said tensely.

Only then did Luo Shun realize his loss of composure. He hurriedly nodded in acknowledgment, then said softly, "Hehe, sorry, got a bit excited."

Then, he curiously asked Qianqian, "Brother Ming'an, how did you change your face? I almost didn't recognize you! Though, your build hasn't changed much, still as skinny as before."

Qianqian smiled faintly and explained, "When I entered the military camp before, I wore a Human Skin Mask. This is my original appearance."

Luo Shun suddenly understood, then couldn't help but ask curiously, "Then how did you get in? Weren't you already gone?"

The corner of Qianqian's mouth curved up slightly, revealing a trace of a smug smile. She replied, "I just knocked someone unconscious and mixed in like this!"

Hearing this, Luo Shun was so surprised his mouth wouldn't close. He exclaimed in admiration, "Wow, you're so amazing! You don't know, ever since you left, what kind of days I've been living! I've been counting the days on my fingers every day, hoping you'd come back!

Not knowing when you would ultimately come to receive me, watching the war about to break out, my heart grew increasingly fearful and uneasy. If you couldn't arrive in time, I'm afraid I would lose my life on this cruel battlefield."

Hearing his words, Qianqian couldn't help but say, "Pah pah pah, quickly pah pah pah, don't talk nonsense, I'm here A Ren't I!" Luo Shun hurriedly joined her in pah pah pah-ing.

However, when Luo Shun asked Qianqian if she had mixed in to take him away, Qianqian's answer greatly shocked him.

"No, I'm going to the battlefield together with you." Qianqian's tone was firm, seemingly without the slightest intention of retreat.

Luo Shun let out a startled "Ah," his face full of doubt as he asked, "You want to go die with me?" He really couldn't understand why Qianqian would make such a decision.

Qianqian hurriedly reassured him, "Don't worry, neither of us will die."

Despite her saying this, Luo Shun obviously remained half-believing, half-doubting her words. Qianqian knew this in her heart too, but she couldn't tell Luo Shun for the time being, so she brought up another topic to temporarily divert his attention.

Simultaneously, the people around were also discussing in low voices, but since everyone was busy with their own matters, no one paid special attention to their conversation.

The crowd rushed on without stopping, until night fell, only then finally having the chance to halt their steps and find a suitable place to set up camp.

Due to the urgent schedule, at noon everyone only hastily ate a bit of Dry Rations to stave off hunger. Now night enveloped them, the people at the Kitchen Camp began to bustle about, setting up pots and stoves, preparing to cook a hot meal for everyone, so that all could warm their bodies on this somewhat chilly night.

The weather grew increasingly cold, the chill seemingly penetrating through thick Clothing, drilling straight into people's bones.

At this time, others were busily pitching tents; each person's tent was usually for two.

Luo Shun was naturally no exception. He and Qianqian worked together with one heart, quickly pitching the tent, then prepared to go eat dinner.

The two came to the Kitchen Camp, each dished out a portion of food, and also took a few steamed buns. They found a relatively quiet corner to sit and eat. Qianqian, as usual, only ordered a small bowl of food.

Just then, Ouyang Chengren and Liang Xiao walked into the Kitchen Camp together. When Ouyang Chengren walked up to Qianqian, he suddenly caught sight of a thin, small man sitting beside Luo Shun. His heart gave a violent start, and for a moment he was somewhat dazed.

Ouyang Chengren couldn't help but think of Wang Ming'an, that person who had once made him so conflicted.

However, he soon realized Wang Ming'an had already left. This thin, small man before his eyes was probably some other soldier whose name he hadn't remembered.

After all, there were so many people in the military camp; it was perfectly normal that he couldn't remember every single person's name.

Thus, Ouyang Chengren merely glanced once, then turned and left, continuing on to get his own food.

But Qianqian was nervous to death. She was terrified Ouyang Chengren would recognize her. Fortunately, Ouyang Chengren only gave a hurried glance and didn't linger, then left.

After Ouyang Chengren and Liang Xiao finished getting their food, they returned to the tent together.

Only then did Qianqian let out a breath of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted. The large stone in her heart finally settled. Good, good, not discovered.

After eating, everyone felt extremely fatigued. After all, the long journey had subjected their bodies and minds to enormous pressure. So they returned to their respective tents one after another, preparing to rest well and recover their strength.

Qianqian lay on the bed, closed her eyes, trying to let herself relax.

However, scenes of war kept surfacing in her mind. She had never been on a battlefield; everything could only be imagined. At this moment, Luo Shun on the adjacent bed asked softly, "Is it that once this war ends, we can leave?"

Qianqian opened her eyes, looked at Luo Shun, and replied with a smile, "Yes, the war will end. We will all return Home safely." Her voice was very light, as if comforting Luo Shun, yet also seemingly cheering herself on.

Simultaneously, in another tent, Ouyang Chengren also lay on the bed, but his thoughts had long since drifted far away.

He imagined where Qianqian might have gone to play today, his heart full of curiosity about her. He couldn't help but start thinking about what Qianqian's parents would be like, and their future life.

He fantasized about himself and Qianqian being able to be together openly, becoming an ordinary and happy little couple, spending every beautiful day together.

As he thought, the corner of his mouth unconsciously curved upward, and he gradually fell into a sweet dreamland.

The next day, just as dawn broke, morning light filtered through the cracks of the tents onto everyone's faces. After a brief rest, the troop began marching again.

Time flowed hurriedly; several days passed in the blink of an eye. The crowd had already arrived at the border between Xishang Kingdom and Beilin Kingdom.

The great army, like a torrential flood, arrived majestically outside the city gates of Northern City in Beilin Kingdom, and garrisoned there. Three Hundred Thousand troops lined up neatly, their momentum magnificent, commanding attention.
