Chapter 723: Chapter 722: Grim Situation_1

Su Pan’er chuckled, "As long as you’re around, everything’s great!"

Her heartfelt words expressed her relief and joy at having him by her side, instead of living in constant fear of hearing news of his demise. A little beard truly held no issue!

Her words amused Qin Yi.

"Little Yanyan seems not to like it, I better shave it off."

Saying so, he really did head into the small compartment to shave his beard. When he came out, his chin was clean and smooth. Without the beard’s cover, his thin face became more apparent, much thinner than before. Su Pan’er felt a pang of heartache and even Little Yanyan stared unblinkingly at him.

Su Pan’er had already finished packing. Looking outside, it seemed like the sun was up and she spontaneously felt a desire to take a leisurely stroll.

"Why don’t we go for a walk? The fruits and vegetables that I planted by hand have been harvested. It’s a pity that it’s too late now. If you had arrived earlier, there would have been a lot of things. It’s really uplifting to look at!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yi was immediately enthusiastic and rose, carrying Little Yanyan.

"Deal! Let’s go have a look!"

They walked out, a little family, without bringing any servants along.

Although it was late autumn and the afternoon sun was shining brightly in the sky in the mountain area, it was not hot, and the golden-yellow rosy clouds came through the mist, shining on people’s faces, which felt particularly comfortable.

The couple left the Conference Hall and walked towards the back mountain. Along the way, the people they passed all put down their chores to pay their respects.

The journey was imminent, and everyone was busy packing their things.

Taking the mountain road and turning around the top of the waist of the mountain, they saw rolling farmland. Some parts had been already harvested, while other parts were still growing crops.

Qin Yi carried Little Yanyan and held Su Pan’er’s hand as they strolled along the mountain road.

Su Pan’er was excited, frequently pointing out the terraced fields built along the mountain.

"Look! This land is planted with moss, lettuce, polygonum, cos lettuce, and so on. There are also ginger, onions, garlic, leek, and other seasonings. Besides, there are eggplants, spearmint, cucumbers, winter melon, white radish, etc. on another mountain top delivered by the rascal pig. Those were originally planted by the mountain people. The products from this mountain are very rich. For example, hulu, hu, taro, Chinese yam, reed, fern, celery, mushrooms, and more can be directly found in the mountain..."

Su Pan’er spoke non-stop, and in the end, not hearing Qin Yi speak, she looked back at him.

However, Qin Yi was looking at her with a heated gaze, a deep meaning in his eyes. Having been married for so long, Su Pan’er understood his meaning.

Instantly, she blushed.

"What are you looking at? Do you still want to enjoy the scenery or not?"

"Well, I’ve been looking at the scenery! The view here is indeed unique!"

Qin Yi answered so naturally, his gaze pompously scanning her chest, his wolfish eyes seemed as if he wanted to swallow her in one bite.

He still couldn’t help but make comments: "I didn’t pay attention yesterday, but looking closely today, the changes are indeed not subtle."

Su Pan’er was both angry and annoyed, and couldn’t help but spit out.

She twisted his arm and said, "You’ve got so many wounds on your body, doesn’t it hurt? You’re always thinking about these nonsense in broad daylight. What if others hear you? They might think I’m frivolous!"

"Who dares!"

This immediately made Qin Yi glare: "Who dares to call my Qin Yi’s woman frivolous? He better be prepared for me to slaughter him! If there’s any comment, it can only be made by me, Qin Yi."

"Alright, stop it! When I said you were fat, you actually panted!"

Su Pan’er tugged him and began to walk away.

Qin Yi quickly stopped her, holding her hand carefully, and apologizing, "Okay, I was wrong. I won’t mess around again, is that okay?"

Little Yanyan in his arms seemed to be helping out, calling her non-stop while grinning and nuzzling against her.

Seeing her lovely daughter like this, Su Pan’er’s stern face couldn’t hold back and she burst into laughter.

Poking Little Yanyan’s nose, she held her and continued to walk slowly.

The couple strolled along the mountain road and slowly climbed to the top.

It was late autumn, and the wilderness was bleak. Aside from the withered grass, deep red maple leaves, and evergreen trees, the autumn wind rustled, bringing waves of pine sounds. The undulating mountains stretched continuously into the distance, with no end in sight. The two of them silently gazed into the distance for a long time.

"At this point, with Zhou Zhenchao being captured, will Qin Zitong’s backup come to attack Jiangzhong again?"

Su Pan’er suddenly spoke.

Seeing Qin Yi frowning in silence, she quickly added, "You don’t say, I feel more worried without assurance."

She couldn’t help but look up at him.

Qin Yi was silent for a long time, raising his eyes to look at her. He sat down next to a rock, pulling out a handkerchief to spread next to him for Su Pan’er to sit on. He randomly picked a weed from the ground, absent-mindedly weaving it in his hand.

"You know about the current situation in Great Zhou. South of Jiangzhong has been carved up by several feudal lords, each with their own troops. But they are all fighting each other, so the territories change hands every day."

"However, the Jiangzhong area was originally controlled by Qin Hong. This time, to deal with Zhou Zhenchao’s troops, I joined forces with him to encircle Zhou Zhenchao’s troops. As a result, Zhou Zhenchao was captured alive and several deputy generals were also captured. Aside from the soldiers of Zhou Army who died in battle, over ten thousand were captured. The remaining soldiers, led by a few defeated generals, fled back to Shengjing in disgrace."

"But when Qin Zitong was a feudal lord, he had a hundred thousand troops on the surface, but he actually had at least three hundred thousand secretly. But I’ve been fighting Jun Ruochen and Zhou Zhenchao for several months. Apart from Qin Zitong sending two junior generals with twenty thousand men to support them halfway through, Qin Zitong has not moved."

Qin Yi furrowed his brows, looking at Su Pan’er.

"Originally, I wanted to join hands with Qin Hong to face the enemy, but Qin Hong only sent his strategist, Mr. Jiang. Qin Hong himself did not show up. I got news that Qin Zitong had dispatched another hundred thousand troops with Guo Huai as general to Luoyang, originally planning to capture Luoyang City in one fell swoop."

"Unexpectedly, Qin Hong was well-prepared and badly defeated Guo Huai’s army sent by Qin Zitong. The Guo Huai forces dispersed and ran away. Afterwards, Qin Hong chased after them relentlessly, all the way to the vicinity of Chang’an, which is Qin Zitong’s doorstep."

"What is Qin Hong trying to do? Does he really intend to confront his father?"

Su Pan’er couldn’t help feeling uneasy.

She never expected that the situations across the world would have turned so complex and severe in only a few months’ time.
