Yan Xing, who entered the tent with the coldness outside the tent, stood in the tent. The people in the tent were either bowing or bowing to the ground, and even sat on the ground in fear, trembling all over.

Yan Xing looked at Pei Shu and Zhang Rui's two daughters, and then looked at their two children who were already four or five years old, Yan Shuo and Yan Tong.

They were wearing warm and light fur clothes, the stove in the tent exuded warmth, lived in two thick felt tents, and were taken care of by the maids. Some people were worried that they could not sleep when they were cold at night.

Yan Xing looked at their tender faces and thought of himself, thinking of Sun Ce and Sima Yi whom he mentioned repeatedly today, and suddenly a sense of inexplicable sadness emerged in his heart.

Born in the deep palace and raised by women, although they grew up healthier and stronger than ordinary children, they could no longer experience the pain and fear of Chen Cang's defeat in their father's family, and it was difficult for them to experience the despair and helplessness of their fathers still facing south. However, such as the intrigues in the family, they might feel deeply in the women's words and demeanor in advance.

If they suddenly died in battle like Sun Jian, can they strive for the reign of their fathers like Sun Ce, control the arrogant soldiers and wise men, or can they keep a low profile like Sima and stand for the time?

Yan Xing didn't know, but he knew that his children's eldest mother could do it.

Pei Shu, who is pampered and has a plump figure, has already ordered with the majesty of her mistress.

"Put down this old slave who said irresponsible, whip dozens of them, and drive them to the tent."

The maid in the tent quickly got up and pulled the Fu Mu who had just complained and was so scared that he sat on the ground to issue the tent. The other Fu Mu was ashamed of being pardoned and followed behind and retreated outside the tent in a panic.

For a moment, only Yan Xing, Pei Shu, Zhang Rui and two children holding their father's thighs were left in the tent.

Yan Xing never spoke, nor did he bent over to hug the two children.

Pei Shu took the lead in breaking the deadlock, just as she could handle housework in an orderly manner, leaving others unable to argue, her abilities in many aspects were far superior to ordinary men. If she was born as a man, her talents might be even better than those of her brothers.

"Okay, your father is tired after a day of busyness. Don't bother him. Come back to my mother. Arui, you serve your husband to change his clothes."

Pei Shu reached out and called both children over, and then signaled Zhang Rui to go forward to serve Yan Xing. Zhang Rui nodded and smiled. Just as she was about to go forward, she heard Yan Xing say:

"No need. The person who just now blew up the emperor, whipping dozens of times, is this law lighter?"

Zhang Rui was stunned immediately. Unexpectedly, Yan Xing was still introverting this matter. She stopped and turned to look at Pei Shu, and Pei Shu's face also looked embarrassed.

What I just complained about was a Fu Mu who brought from the Pei family. Although she was old and relied on her seniority, she said a few words that should not be said in her identity, but she did her best to take care of her children on weekdays. She just said that just now, she cared about her children.

If Yan Xing is not here, it would be fine if he scolds him, but since he meets Yan Xing, he will have to punish him a little. But unexpectedly, Yan Xing is still concerned about this matter for some reason. If the punishment is severe, the one who makes Fu Mu feel bad is her mistress and the Pei family will be her mistress.

Zhang Rui also noticed Pei Shu's disgust and wanted to break away from the female lady. She immediately smiled:

"General, although that Fu Mu is guilty of being rude, he will spare her when he is old. After all, she takes care of the general's eldest son, not ordinary children, and cares about him will be inconvenient."

Yan Xing did not answer the words and slowly looked at Zhang Rui.

After feeling the chill in Yan Xing's eyes, Zhang Rui was startled, lost her expression, and quickly knelt on the ground and said:

"I don't want to say anything, please forgive me!"

When Yan Shuo saw his mother kneeling on the ground, he immediately broke free from Pei Shu's arm, ran to Zhang Rui, hugged Zhang Rui and said:

"Get up, it's cold on the ground. Get up quickly."

Zhang Rui shook her head and signaled that her child would not speak, but Yan Shuo still cried unyieldingly. Zhang Rui gritted her teeth and pressed Yan Shuo to kneel on the ground with a cruel heart, saying:

"Kneel down and don't speak out."

Yan Shuo, who was unaware of the innocence, did not understand his mother's intentions. He realized that he had not done anything wrong and was treated rudely by his abnormal mother. He immediately cried out.

"Aoao-Woo-Woo--"

"You have raised a good son!"

Yan Shuo's crying sounded in the tent. Yan Xing looked at Pei Shu. Seeing that she hugged Yan Tong who was about to move carefully comforted him, he sneered, turned around and walked out.

Seeing Yan Xing leaving with anger, Zhang Rui didn't dare to get up, and did not let go of Yan Shuo crying, but turned to look at Pei Shu who was standing beside him.

"Female?"

"Get up first."

Pei Shu pulled Yan Tong over and reached out to help Zhang Rui. Yan Shuo, who had lost his restraint, stopped crying and jumped up. While wiping his tears, he ran to Pei Shu and hugged her knees, looking at his mother complainingly.

Pei Shu smiled and touched the corner of Xiao Yanshuo's head to show comfort. Zhang Rui, who stood up there, pulled her son over lovely and angrily, and blamed him:

"Everyone is causing trouble for my mother. Look, even your father is angry with you."

"Okay, Arui, don't blame the child, it's not his fault."

"Then, the lady, should I send someone to ask the general to return the account?"

"He may still be angry now and will not come back even if he invites it. Please wait for him to calm down first."

"Oh." Zhang Rui sighed, nodded, and said in a low voice:

"The general's temper..."

Pei Shu shook her head and signaled Zhang Rui not to mention it again. She knew Yan Xing's temper. He did not miss the joys, sorrows, fears, and doubts of ordinary people. Even some of the forbidden zones deep in her heart could not be touched at will even as a wife.

"Maybe my husband is struggling with difficulties, worried about his foundation, and can't stand the woman's pampering love. He suddenly got angry tonight, and it will be fine after a while."

Pei Shu was talking slowly, and what she thought in her mind was that her previous dissuasion of Yan Xing on the eastward journey might also be an inducing factor.

"Would you like to find a good teacher for the children?"

Zhang Rui's question made Pei Shu feel inexplicably moved. She glanced at Zhang Rui who was asking, and slowly withdrew her gaze.

Perhaps, it's time to find a suitable master for your child.

···

Yan Xing walked out of Pei Shu's tent all the way, and after his anger gradually subsided, his pace slowed down.

Just looking at the camp that had entered the curfew, I didn't know where to turn, and I couldn't help feeling lonely in my heart.

Yan Xing shook his head with a chuckle. Could it be that he, who is a lonely person, has unknowingly moved towards the situation of a lonely person?

Standing there and thinking for a while, Yan Xing turned around and walked towards his big tent.

On the way, I heard a small piece of piano sound.

"How come there is a sound of zither in the camp?"

Yan Xing asked coldly with a face.

Seeing this, the guard hurriedly approached and said:

"General, the direction of listening to the sound should be from Cai, the tent of the Houying camp."

"oh."

Yan Xing nodded slightly, did not ask again, and continued to move his steps. But after walking a few feet, he suddenly changed direction and walked towards the low sound of the piano.

"Although it's the back camp, since it's already a curfew, I still have to go and have a look."

Yan Xing talked to himself and walked quickly towards Cai Yan's tent.

Near the tent, Yan Xing left his personal guard outside and walked towards the tent alone.

"Who is it?"

As soon as they approached the tent door, Yan Xing's footsteps in the dark immediately aroused the alert of the maids in the tent. They shouted in a low voice that a brave maid had opened the tent door and looked at the person under the light of the torch outside the tent.

"It's an orphan!"

Yan Xing's voice was very calm, but the maids were shocked when they saw that Yan Xing had come. They hurriedly bowed to the ground and bowed and said:

"Meet the General!"

"Everyone is up, everyone is not asleep yet?"

"Well, we just had a dream and were in a state of uneasy and had already gotten up in our clothes."

Yan Xing did not answer the conversation and walked into the tent.

There was a stove in the tent to heat it, and the warm air flow made people lazy, with a unique fragrance refreshing. Yan Xing saw Cai Yan kneeling behind Suqin at a glance. He reached out and signaled that she was preparing to get up without any politeness. He looked around the tent a few times and found a seat to sit down.

"But those piano sounds just now disturbed the soldiers in the army?"

Hearing Cai Yan’s questioning, Yan Xing replied with a smile.

"It's nothing, I'm just a nightclub. I'm here alone to tell everyone."

As she spoke, Yan Xing also looked at Cai Yan's light green wide-sleeved shirt for a few more times. She saw that she was lazy and did not wear any makeup. The white silk belt tied around her waist hung to the ground.

"I was in a state of discomfort in the army and was depressed. I had to play the piano and chat with myself, which made the general get used to it."

"Everyone is so harsh."

Yan Xing withdrew his eyes and responded softly, but he didn't say anything he wanted to say.

Cai Yan still complains about his own opinions.

If Cai Yan's own ideas were based on her own, she should leave here and return to Chenliu's hometown. However, Yan Xing repeatedly tried to keep her, and first had reasons to repair the ancient books left by Cai Yong. Later, there was a request from professors Yan Shuo and Yan Tong's siblings. Although Cai Yan would not think that the general of the cavalry had an indecent idea of ​​her like others, he still had a grudge against being with power.

Without the words that had been thought of before, Yan Xing was silent for a while before suddenly speaking:

"I know that everyone misses their hometown. Although they are hard-working nowadays, they can't leave. But looking at the changes in the situation, it may take less than a few years to revisit their hometown."

"I hope."

Cai Yan just nodded and did not respond. Yan Xing originally wanted to get up and leave, but at this moment, a personal guard quickly stepped into the tent and came to Yan Xing's side to report in a low voice.

"General, someone has come from the lady's side. I want to ask the general to return the account."

"I know."
