Chapter 439: The Grand General Awakes

"Is there anything else to be careful about?" Jiang Fengsheng looked at Yun chu; although his face showed nothing, only she herself knew how grateful she felt in her heart.

Her brother died on the battlefield; her mother also died in this place.

Her father is her relative, her only blood elder; she admires him, respects him; even though she has prepared to fight in his place, she still hopes her father will be safe.

For her own wish, and also for Da Ning.

"No need, later let Zi Wei take care of it; I'll go rest a while." Jiang Yunchu blinked her eyes; this time she wasn't life-or-death, but she was still extremely tired.

Especially after traveling for so many days, coming back just to receive treatment, both mentally and physically she could barely bear it.

"Your tent is still the same as before." Jiang Fengsheng looked at her and quickly replied.

"Then I'm leaving."

She opened the tent; not knowing when, the outside was already filled with stars; the stars here are very beautiful, unlike Jingdu, where buildings block the view, so the visible sky is only that patch.

But here, looking out, the sky is full of stars, constantly twinkling.

She had intended to return to the tent, but suddenly turned a corner and came to a slope, where she lay down fully clothed and then gazed at the sky.

Several meteors streaked across half the sky and then fell toward the distance.

"Mother."

One Voice spoke cautiously.

Jiang Yunchu had long known he was following; he just didn't speak, and neither did she.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Ning Hanmo's voice, she stood up and gave a light smile.

Ning Hanmo sat down beside her, his gaze gradually firming; "Mother, I want to stay on the battlefield."

He no longer wanted to return to Ning Jing...

These days have changed many of his thoughts and many things; they are things he could never have learned while in Ning Jing.

"Oh?"

Jiang Yunchu tilted her head, looked at Ning Hanmo; over the past two years he seemed to have grown up; looking at the child she had raised herself, her heart filled with myriad emotions.

"Da Ning is swaying, unstable."

I never expected that the child's first words would be like this.

"Mother, General Jiang is old, the Grand General is also old; the northern Wang Fu army, my father has been missing for years, and still there is no news; if these generals all leave, who can support the great army?"

"General Jiang has been poisoned, which has already thrown the Jiang family army into chaos; even his own biological daughter can't manage it, let alone others."

"The struggle for military power, the turmoil in the court, Da Ning sways unsteadily."

"Mother, I want to stay here, to stay on this battlefield, to rise step by step."

"Just like my father did back then."

His face showed determination, but the flicker in his eyes represented his anxiety.

His age and experience are insufficient to command authority, nor enough to convince his mother; thus his heart is filled with apprehension.

Jiang Yunchu said nothing; between mother and son, a moment of silence passed.

"Have you decided?"

When Ning Hanmo didn't know where to put his hands, Jiang Yunchu's voice appeared just in time.

He raised his head, looked at his respected mother, and nodded firmly: "Mother, I have decided."

He is the Young Master of the Regent Prince's Manor, a student of Chun Hua Xue Yuan, and a person of Da Ning.

Jiang Yunchu nodded: "Book knowledge may seem useless now, but it needs to be accumulated day by day."

"Military strategy and tactics need to be gradually sensed; discussing war on paper, no matter how much, still cannot replace actual combat."

"Ning Hanmo, I have only one son, you."

"Ning Hanmo, I only have you as my son."

"Protect yourself well."

She didn't look at him, just gazed at the round moon; "It's almost the fifteenth, right? Otherwise why would the moon be so round?"

She didn't look at him, merely gazing at that round moon—it must be nearly the fifteenth, right? Otherwise why would the moon be so round?

Ning Hanmo stood up firmly, performed a barracks salute; seeing his demeanor, Jiang Yunchu gave a light smile.

Mother and son no longer spoke; for a moment, one could hear the chirping of crickets, see the patrolling people holding torches, walking back and forth.

One could see the high pass blocking Xijiang and Da Ning.

If there were no war, no invasion, how wonderful that would be.

If there were no war, no invasion, how wonderful that would be!

Jiang Yunchu rose first and left without looking back.

That night, the fingers wrapped in vines, a cool breath continuously nourished her body while drawing her inner strength to nourish the vines.

The originally emerald vines gradually deepened in color.

"The Xijiang army has advanced its camp by one hundred meters." Late at night, a scout came to report.

Jiang Fengsheng frowned; had the news of Yun chu's return reached that side?

After Yun chu returned, she gave the general an antidote; she had just gone to rest and hadn't yet had a chance to ask what had happened.

"Continue observing." She issued the order.

Fifteen days, for the Jiang family army, were a long fifteen days; during these fifteen days, many people suddenly disappeared.

"Sheng Sheng." At that moment, General Jiang looked at his daughter in the tent; he never thought his old bones would have a day of coming back to life.

"Victory, victory." At this moment, General Jiang gazed at his daughter in the tent, never imagining that his old bones would one day come back to life.

Before outsiders, she was an acting general; these days she had continually commanded the Jiang family army, handling spies with ruthless means and strict management, earning the trust of many.

(No line 60 provided; the previous line was the last.)

But seeing her father wake up, her always unsettled heart suddenly felt like it had found a place to rest, and in an instant it calmed down.

"Yun chu is back?" General Jiang's spirits were poor, but he could feel that the gu worms that had been wriggling inside his body were all gone.

Only one person could have done this, Jiang Yunchu.

Jiang Fengsheng brought over a cup of water, helped General Jiang take two sips, and said, "Yun chu is back."

At that moment, a voice asking for entry came from outside.

"Aunt, may I come in?" It was Kang Ziwei.

Just as the old general woke up, Jiang Fengsheng had the guards call Zi Wei.

Yun chu had said that everything afterward would be arranged for Zi Wei.

"Come in." Jiang Fengsheng walked over, opened the tent flap, and let Kang Ziwei walk in.

"I need to take the pulse first to confirm the toxin removal status." The young lady had a gentle smile, smiling before she spoke, very endearing.

"Good." General Jiang also laughed heartily, but his eyes carried a hint of worry.

Kang Ziwei said while washing her hands, her whole person showing no emotional change, making it hard to read her thoughts.

"Will there still be fainting?" Jiang Fengsheng asked.

Kang Ziwei shook her head, "Just recovered from a serious illness, the general's mental state is poor now; he needs rest."

"There will be no more fainting; the previous fainting was all due to the gu worms' control, and another reason is the general's internal energy entering self‑hibernation."
