Beitang Ao frowned, “What is that smell?”

Yan Feili knew that the smell of medicine hadn’t dissipated, and the Sect Master had a profound skill. He still smelled it.

He also knew that he couldn’t lie to Beitang Ao, but he didn’t know how to answer.

Beitang Ao walked to the table, picked up the uncleaned medicine bowl, smelled it, and glanced at Yan Feili. He knew this medicine much too well. He raised a few cleaning maids in the Beitang Palace of the Ming Kingdom, but he would never let those low-ranking women conceive his heirs. Every time he wanted to sleep with any of them, they were given a secret medicine to prevent conception in advance. dcQqfe

Although this medicine was not much the same as that used by the Ming Kingdom imperial family, Beitang Ao still knew its efficacy.

“Where did you get this medicine?” Beitang Ao placed the medicine bowl down and looked at Yan Feili, “Qiu Yeyuan gave it to you?”

Yan Feili nodded, “This subordinate asked him for it today.”

Beitang Ao looked at the book laid open on the table and whispered, “In case it happens again on the battlefield? It won’t be easy then.”

Yan Feili listened, and his body trembled slightly.

The Sect Master walked to him and said, “You will be leaving in three days, stay with me in these few days.”

Yan Feili seemed to want to say something. When he opened his mouth, nothing came out.

What did the Sect Master think of him? Was he a tool for venting? Although the Sect Master was not very close to women, there was no shortage of women for him. Also, the wedding was only one month away. How can it be his turn with the Sect Master?

What does the Sect Master think? Yan Feili didn’t want or dare to ask. Since he gave birth to Li’er, he and Beitang Ao have been in a relationship they can’t break.

Even if this was just Beitang Ao’s momentary effort, Yan Feili didn’t want to break this short dream before the Sect Master got married.

He wanted to ask the master, How is Li’er? Does he look good? How old is he? What does his son look like now? T6jp5x

People say, “Children are the mother’s heart and soul!” This is correct.

Whenever Yan Feili laid on the bed, he would stretch out his hand to the pillow countless times, hoping that the child slept soundly beside him. When he touched it, it was always cold.

He was an orphan since he was a child, raised by an old beggar, and had never experienced parental affection. He was very envious when he saw a mother holding her son’s little hand to buy things on the street.

Yan Feili secretly wished his parents would find him, take him home, and take his hand to the street to buy him delicious food one day. v7jize

Later, when he grew up, he learned that his wish was impossible to realize. So he had another wish. He thought he would marry a good wife, have some good children, raise them carefully, be a good father, and let his wife and children live a stable and satisfying life.

But today, none of his wishes can be achieved anymore. Yan Feili said that he had a constant evil feeling for Beitang Ao, how can he get married to a woman and have children?

Moreover, in the past few nights under Beitang Ao’s body, Yan Feili didn’t want to embrace women anymore. The thought of Li’er, the son who left him only a day after he was born, made him feel the pain of digging out a piece of flesh in his life.

So he was going to the battlefield to distract his mind. He needed some physical torture to cover up the pain in his heart. GqjvMS

Three days later, Yan Feili led the three thousand troops and set off with the Ximen army under Ximen Yue’s command.

He only picked up some simple clothes and walked with Ling Qing. Zhuyuan gave Ximei responsibility. Before leaving, follow the rules to ask the owner of the door.

Beitang Ao was playing chess with Lin Yanyan in Liuxiangju, and they couldn’t see each other clearly through the thick drape. He seemed to pause a little while sitting inside and said, “Okay!”

Lin Yanyan said to Yan Feili softly, “General Yan, the journey is far away, take care of your body.” kaAf1i

“Thank you Miss Lin for your concern!” Yanfeili thought bitterly about how he would have to call her Beitang Ao’s wife the next time he meets her.

“Feili, the war is weird. It is good for you to support Jianjing and help Ximen Sect Master to share your worries, but you must know the severity.”

“Yes.”

Although Beitang said coldly, the words were not. Yan Feili’s heart was warm, knowing that the Sect Master was going around the bend to remind him to be careful and not to try too hard. wOkuex

Yan Feili cannot be careless with his life because he had to come back to see Li’er again one day.

Another person was accompanying the army who set out this time, and it was Qiu Yeyuan. Yan Feili was shocked when he saw him.

Qiu Yeyuan seemed to be quite distressed because he was not going there voluntarily. Ximen Yue, after drinking his medicine, the cold was healed, but he still had coughs. It was said that his medicine was not working, and Ximen Yue asked him to keep his promise and let him deal with it. The medicine was meant to treat the cold wind, not the cough. Qiu Yeyuan couldn’t say that. He had to obey the request, packed up his baggage and became a military doctor.

After half a month, the troops met with the troops from the southern border. Only then did Yan Feili realize the seriousness of the situation. Because of the floods in the south, there were mostly scattered small countries. People can’t even take care of themselves, what spare energy do they have to resist the attack of the Dian Kingdom? IHYa2N

So far, two small countries merged into the territory of the Dian Kingdom, and the Four Heavenly Gates had lost more than six sub-masters.

Yan Feili was very familiar with Jianjing and the surrounding terrain. Soon, he got a general understanding of the situation.

In the following month, except for some small-scale offensives and provocations, neither side made any major moves.

Yan Feili returned to the big tent tiredly. Ling Qing wisely stepped forward to help him take off his armor. As soon as he changed his military uniform and was just off the ground, Ling Qing said, “The dinner is ready, and this subordinate will bring it to you.” u0LVWE

“No.” Yan Feili stopped him, “I don’t want to eat it, let’s talk about it later.”

Then, he took a short rest on the bed, but he slept groggily in his clothes until midnight. When he woke up, he was shocked, thinking to himself that his body was indeed not as good as before. He couldn’t stand the fatigue.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Yan Feili got up, lit a candle, and saw some simple meals on the table. Presumably, Ling Qing brought the food, saw that he was asleep, so he placed it there. Yan Feili sat down and planned to eat a little bit, but had no appetite for anything.

It had been a long time and the dishes were cold. The oil solidified on the surface. The food in the barracks was rough and tasteless. Yan Feili tried not to pay attention to these, after all, he had eaten worse. PFcdBg

In a military camp, stable work and rest were very important. Wars can happen at any time. One must ensure sufficient physical strength.

Before Yan Feili put a bite in his mouth, a greasy smell suddenly made him unbearable. He pushed the dishes aside and rushed to the corner of the tent, vomiting.
