Yun AnAn get up, Nan SuWei watched her warily.Before everyone, Yun An'an unzipped her satchel and poured all the melon seeds and peanuts from the plate into it.Then, turning around, he walked step by...From Kyoto to the northwestern border, even at full speed it would take seven days' travel.

"Just cooked rice porridge."

"No appetite."

Yun An'an was organizing the weapons in her backpack, the Barrett on her back never leaving her side.

Even if you don't eat, the baby in your belly still needs nutrition.

Han Qing forcefully placed the bowl of porridge in Yun An'an's hands and cut some roasted meat, placing it on a plate in front of her.

"An An, if something happened to me, would you be this heartbroken too"

Before Yun Anan could reply, Han Qing burst into laughter.

His question is undoubtedly tantamount to self-humiliation.

Sometimes, I think about how envious I am of Bei Chen Yi. Even in death, he occupies all your attention.

The bonfire crackled and popped, its sound especially loud in the stillness of the night.

In two more days, they will reach the Jueya Pass at the northwestern border. As long as Yun An'an sees the carnage of the battlefield with her own eyes and confirms that Beichen Yi is dead.

As for what happened next, he patiently let Yun An'an gradually accept him again.

Even, he would take the place of Bei Chen Yi to raise An An's child in her womb.

"An An."

Han Qing was lying on her side in the grass, staring at Yun Anan whose face looked cold under the moonlight.

"Said."

"Sing me a song, anything will do, it's so boring being awake all night."

Yun An'an ignored Han Qing and continued to pack her backpack.

"Well then, I'll tell you about our past stories."

Lying in the grass, Han Qing reminisced about his childhood with Yun Annan, his words filled with genuine joy and the affection of childhood sweethearts.

I still remember the first time I saw you, you were hiding behind Prime Minister Yun, like a startled little rabbit, your phoenix eyes looking around with fear and curiosity.

Every word and every phrase is filled with warmth.

Han Qing remembered everything about him and Yun An'an, from the first time they met to Yun An'an always following behind him calling "Brother Han Qing."

I don't know how long it took, until I heard a steady breathing sound coming from the opposite side. Looking at Yun Anan who was asleep with her eyes closed, Han Qing smiled helplessly.

"Have a good sleep."

>The next day.

It was a two-day journey to the Cliffs of Guan from the northwestern border. As they passed through a dilapidated town, the two came across a patrol of soldiers from the Three Kingdoms Alliance, at least fifty strong.

Since Beichen Yi's death in battle, the three kingdoms of Xiling, Dong Qin, and Nanjing have seized the opportunity to pursue their victory. The new commander-in-chief is incompetent and keeps suffering defeats, losing seven cities in a row.

Wufu Town is one of the seven city-states.

The war-torn Wufu Town is now a desolate wasteland, with ruins everywhere and corpses littering the ground.

Three military soldiers on patrol sat at a tea stall, drinking tea and chatting about the war.

"Hee hee~ General Li is really amazing, isn't he If it weren't for the spies he had planted in the Beichen Kingdom's army long ago, we would have truly been helpless against the Regent King."

"Yeah, I heard too. That informant went in with a white blade and came out with a red one, stabbing the Regent directly in the heart. Even if a celestial deity descended to earth, he couldn't be saved."

"The body hasn't been found yet, has it It's been so long."

“Didn't find him. Heard that the soldiers from Xiling Dongqin and Nanzhi San Guo turned the battlefield upside down but didn't see Bei Chen Yi's body, probably escaped.”

"Impossible, millions against tens of thousands. One man's spit could drown them all."

"That's not necessarily true, that's the mighty Generalissimo of Beichen Kingdom, General Bei Chen Yi! Otherwise, why would General Li have us search every nook and cranny of the surrounding towns"

After the great war, Beichen Yi's body disappeared. The allied armies of the Three Kingdoms searched tirelessly but were unable to find Beichen Yi's body.

Hearing this news, Yun An'an, who had been hiding in the shadows, finally let out a sigh of relief and revealed a smile that she hadn't shown in a long time.

She knew that Beichen Yi wouldn't die easily.

"Damn it, the little brat is dead already, and now we're suffering because of him here."

"If I ever met Beichen Yi, I would first cut off his limbs and see where he could run to."

Bang!

Yun'an, hiding on the high ground, picked up the Barrett rifle in his hand and shot a soldier in the head with one bullet.

The patrol soldiers were dumbfounded. How could they say such a thing After their words echoed, every soldier around them suddenly had a gaping hole in their head, with white brains and blood gushing out incessantly.

Bang—

Another shot was fired, instantly piercing the hearts of three people.

Boom boom boom —

Every shot that followed found its mark, until all the patrolling soldiers were taken.

"This is Barrett's power, isn't it"

Han Qing was a little curious and wanted to reach out and touch Barrett, but Yun Anan glared at her, stopping her.

"I can give you one for free."

"Oh, it's alright. I don't need it for now."

Having witnessed Barrett's power, Han Qing retracted his hand with a wry smile.

After resolving the issue with the patrolling legion, the two set off on horseback once again toward Jueya Pass.

Having learned from the masses that Beichen Yi was likely not dead but had escaped, no one was happier than Yun An'an.

She was going to Jueyáguan to investigate the surrounding terrain and deduce the most likely direction North Star Yì had left in.

Finally, after two days of continuous travel, the two finally reached their destination, Juéyá Guan, outside the northwestern border.

The reason it is called絶崖關 (Absolute Cliff Pass) is because outside the city walls lies a steep ravine, with cliffs over a hundred meters high. Below these cliffs is a raging river, making it extremely dangerous.

Crossing the city walls, a thick metallic smell of blood invaded my nostrils.

The battlefield has been cleared, but the blood's crimson still deeply stains the earth, proving that countless people died here, their bodies piled high like mountains.

"What are you looking for"

Han Qing, standing behind Yun An'an, followed her gaze and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Do you think Beichen Yi would jump off Jueya Pass Don't be silly, there's no chance of survival if you jump off Jueya Pass."

Han Qing dismissed Yun An'an's thoughts. Not to mention the hundreds of feet high cliff, just the raging river at its base could swallow a person whole.

> If you jump off the precipice, your body will be reduced to ashes.

"The sky is about to light up. If we are discovered by the Allied forces of the Three Kingdoms, we will both die here."

Han Qing had to remind Yun An'an that now the Cliff Pass had fallen into the hands of the Three Kingdoms Alliance army, it was no longer the territory of Beichen Kingdom.

If Yun An'an falls into the enemy's hands, given Nanzheng Kingdom's intense hatred for her, one can only imagine the consequences.

"If you want to verify if Beichen Yi jumped from here, wait three days after the water level downstream of the cliff becomes calmer, and I'll accompany you to look for him. Right now, we must leave this place."

Han Qing grabbed Yun An'an and forcefully took her away from the precipice. The two of them were unaware that as they left, a black figure on a hillside in the distance had been watching them for a long time.

In order to conceal their identities, Yun An'an wrapped herself tightly, and Han Qing disguised himself as an old man. The two pretended to be father and son during their conversation.

In a small town on the northwestern border, Yun Annan and Han Qingcang spent the night in a peasant's courtyard.

There are still a considerable number of people in Fengshou Town who have not had time to evacuate, as well as elderly people who are unwilling to give up their homes and stay behind.

Also because of Fengshou Town's special geographical location and the fact that everyone in town was skilled at blacksmithing, the small town was spared from being slaughtered.

"Ugh~~"

In the dead of night, Yun An'an vomited again.

Although three months have passed, morning sickness and nausea have yet to subside.

Han Qing, standing beside her, felt a mixture of heartache and helplessness. She could only bring a bowl of warm water to Yun An'an.

"Rinse your mouth first, I'll go into the woods to hunt some wild chickens for you and make chicken soup. You need to replenish your body well."

In wartime, resources are most scarce. It's already a blessing to have a hot meal, let alone meat dishes.

As An'an's face sank, Yun watched on. Han Qing mounted his horse with an axe strapped to his back, heading into the forest outside Fengshou Town to hunt for wild game.

It was also good luck that Han Qing, upon his departure, immediately hunted down a wild chicken and a hare.

Back at the farm, I was bustling about plucking feathers and tending to the stove. Surprisingly, I managed to whip up a decent pot of chicken soup.

"Try it, it's not hot anymore."

Han Qing blew the chicken soup to a suitable temperature before feeding it to Yun An'an's mouth.

Perhaps I hadn't had a proper meal in a while. The enticing aroma of meat reached my nose, and my stomach growled loudly in response.

"I'll do it myself."

Taking the bowl of soup from Han Qing, Yun Anan sipped it spoon by spoon.

"Can you cook"

"Since you were a child, you have been greedy for food. Every time you saw me, you would clamor to eat sweets. But after you joined the army, we rarely met, so I stopped cooking."

Han Qing smiled, counting the many things they had done when they were young, while also blaming Yun An'an for forgetting even this.

Yun An'an didn't reply, the original owner's memory did indeed have such a memory.

"Come, eat some meat. You've lost weight recently."

"You eat too."

Yun Anan put another rabbit leg in front of Han Qing.

The old man sitting not far away, who was weaving a bamboo basket, saw this scene and envied it very much.

"You two are so loving."

He had long seen that the two were not father and son, on the contrary, the man's gaze towards the woman was full of tenderness and love, it would not be an exaggeration to say they were husband and wife.

The old man's words delighted Han Qing greatly. He casually rewarded the old man with a hundred taels of silver, which startled the old man so much that he didn't recover for a long time.

Night, deeper.

Yun'an tossed and turned, unable to sleep. At this moment, a black shadow appeared outside the door, standing by the window for a while.

Want to know where Beichen Yi is Follow me!

"Who are you"

Yun'an leaped, bursting through the window and following the shadowy figure to the outskirts of Fengshou Town.

The shadow suddenly stopped.

"Who are you"

"Who I am is of no concern to you. If you wish to know where Beichen Yi is, go to Juéyá Guān at noon tomorrow."

The figure in black spoke, and Yun An smiled contentedly.

Let me guess, you are... Nantao, interesting~ The Prince of the Mobei appearing in Fengshou Town, his purpose is not pure, you know.

Yun An held her shoulders, guessing the identity of the person in black through the layer of black veil.

This man was tall and sturdy, a typical Northern Han man. Coupled with that accent from the Beicheng Kingdom that made people cringe and his familiar voice.

Besides Nanto, who else

What puzzled Yun'an was how Nan Tuo could appear in Fengshou Town on the northwestern border of Beichen Kingdom.
