Yan Qianqian

Just then, Yan Shuang'er, who had remained silent all along, finally spoke: "Eldest Sister, the reason we came this time is actually because Fourth Brother has something he wants to tell you." Hearing this, Yan Xiner couldn't help but show a look of curiosity, and asked, "Wang'er? What exactly is it?"

Only to see Yan Wang hesitate slightly, then slowly say: "Eldest Sister, tomorrow... I will be heading to the army camp." Upon hearing these words, Yan Xiner's face did not show too much surprise.

After all, ever since Yan Wang was young, Yan Xiner had known well that this younger brother was obsessed with martial arts, and dreamed of becoming a great general as imposing as their father, one who could protect home and defend the country. Although she had long had a premonition that one day Yan Wang would embark on this path of joining the army, when this moment truly arrived, she still couldn't help but sigh at how swiftly time flew.

In his distant and profound memory, Yan Wang was then just a tender, adorable little child with a soft, milky voice. He remembered that day, the sunlight was just right, the breeze gentle, and little Yan Wang tightly grabbed Yue Yi's sleeve, looking up at Yue Yi with a face full of innocence and anticipation, saying in a soft, childish voice: "Brother Yue Yi, I want to learn martial arts! I want to become a great hero who stands tall like Father!"

The scene back then seemed right before his eyes, that clear childish voice still lingering in his ears.

However, time flew by, years passed like a shuttle, who could have thought that in the blink of an eye they would hear the news that Yan Wang was about to go to the army camp. This news was like a bolt of thunder, exploding in Yan Xiner's heart.

She never could have imagined that the younger brother who once clung to her asking for candy and shouted that he wanted to be a great hero would now truly set foot on this road full of unknowns and challenges.

Yan Xiner struggled to restrain the surging emotions within her, and slowly said: "Wang'er, once you get to the army camp, be sure to take good care of yourself."

Eldest Sister understands that becoming a great hero like Father has always been your heart's wish. But don't forget, we are all waiting for you at home. Whenever you have time, hurry back home to visit.

After Eldest Sister's child is born, I will definitely tell him that he has an amazing little uncle, who will become a great hero admired by all! Wang'er, promise Eldest Sister that no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must protect yourself well, and never let us at home worry all day."

When Yan Wang first heard his sister's encouraging words, he only felt a surge of heroic ambition rising in his heart, his whole body becoming hot-blooded.

But as his sister continued to say those words full of concern, the tenderness in his heart was deeply touched, and in the end he couldn't help but redden his eyes.

Afterwards, the several people chatted affectionately for a while. As noon approached, Yan Xiner warmly urged the two of them to stay for a meal. At first, they both thought to politely decline, after all not wanting to cause trouble for Eldest Sister.

But when they saw the eager, expectant look in Yan Xiner's eyes, all words of refusal could no longer be spoken. In the end, they couldn't bear to go against Eldest Sister's kindness, and nodded in agreement to stay here for lunch.

At noon, because her younger brother and sister had specially come to visit her, Yan Xiner was in exceptionally high spirits, and her appetite increased quite a bit compared to usual, actually eating an entire extra bowl of rice! Guo Lanxin beside her saw all this, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

She said kindly: "Since your coming makes Xiner so happy, you must come by often when you have time in the future." Yan Shuang'er obediently nodded and replied: "Yes, Aunt. As long as we have time, we will definitely come often to play with Sister."

Soon, after lunch, the two did not linger long, and hurriedly set off on their return journey. After all, in the afternoon Yan Wang still had many things waiting for him to handle. First, he had to go bid farewell to his good friend Qi Yu, and by the way organize the items he needed to bring for tomorrow's journey, truly busy with affairs.

When Qi Yu learned that Yan Wang was about to head to the army camp, he couldn't help but feel genuinely happy for this good brother, patting Yan Wang's shoulder and sighing: "Brother, your wish of many years has finally come true! But once you're in the army, be sure to take good care of yourself." Yan Wang smiled and nodded, indicating he would keep it in mind.

Night fell, and after the family finished dinner, Yan Si always felt uneasy about this younger brother who was about to travel far. So, he hurriedly came to the courtyard where Yan Wang lived. Only to see Yan Si take out a thick stack of banknotes from his bosom and hand them to Yan Wang.

He said with concern: "Fourth Brother, when you're out in the world you'll inevitably encounter all sorts of situations. Take this money with you for emergencies. If you need to grease palms or have other expenses, don't be stingy—spend what needs to be spent. If it's not enough, when you come home on leave next time, Second Brother I will make it up to you."

Facing such deep affection from his elder brother, Yan Wang naturally wouldn't be reserved and decline. He took the banknotes with both hands and said gratefully: "Thank you, Second Brother, I understand."

Just then, Yan Shuang'er also slowly walked over. She held in her hand a carefully embroidered Peace Blessing, and gently hung it around Yan Wang's neck, saying gently: "Fourth Brother, this is a Peace Blessing I made by hand for you, hoping it will bless you with a safe journey and smooth sailing."

This Peace Blessing had quite a background! It was one Yan Shuang'er had specially gone to that famous temple with flourishing incense to obtain.

It was said that this Peace Talisman, after being consecrated by a high monk, possessed miraculous protective power. And Qianqian and Yan Jie this time had not brought anything, but they likewise couldn't bear to part with Yan Wang, wanting to come over and talk with him, and see if there was anything they could help with.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye it was the morning of the second day. At that time, the sky was still dark, dawn light faintly showing, the whole world as if still immersed in sweet dreams. However, Yan Wang had long since tidied up, sitting in the carriage preparing to set off for the army camp.

On the other side, An Wang always felt somewhat uneasy in his heart. Although yesterday he had explained many matters to Yan Wang one by one, after thinking it over he still felt he should personally make this trip. So, An Wang last night decisively asked the Emperor for leave, and today did not need to attend court session. Thus, he and Yan Wang sat in the same carriage together, rushing toward the army camp.
