Chapter 832: Chapter 811: Finally seeing you again...
Old Cheng hesitated with difficulty for a long time before he finally sighed.
"Madam, to tell you the truth, the young master has been commanding the battle at the front line, and it has been many days since I myself have seen him. I can only send someone to pass on a message to the young master, as for whether he wants to see you, well... I wouldn’t know that."
Su Pan’er nodded firmly.
"If Master Uncle is willing to send a message on my behalf, Pan’er is eternally grateful."
"No worries, Madam. It’s better to save those words until after the young master has agreed to meet."
In front of Su Pan’er, Old Cheng called for a scout and sent the message out.
It wasn’t until the scout had left that Su Pan’er slowly sat down.
However, Old Cheng had someone bring her food, "Madam, you have traveled such a long way and must be exhausted. Have something to eat and fill your stomach first."
Su Pan’er had indeed forgotten about eating during her travels. When she saw the food, her stomach growled with hunger, yet she still didn’t have much of an appetite. Nevertheless, she thanked him and tried to eat as much as possible.
She then casually inquired about the war, "Old Cheng, have the reinforcements from the Wumeng Department arrived?"
"Not yet."
Old Cheng shook his head sorrowfully, seriousness in his eyes, "It is said that there has been a civil unrest within the Wumeng Department; they are too preoccupied with their own troubles to spare any forces to help us."
"An internal conflict at such a critical time?"
Su Pan’er raised her eyebrows, as it sounded like an excuse.
"Lord Marquis has already sent people to investigate the truth. As for the final outcome, I fear..."
Old Cheng stopped mid-sentence, not continuing, but instead changed the subject, "Right now, Jun Ruochen’s troops have not gone to the Wumeng Department, instead they are pursuing Lord Marquis’s troops. Lord Marquis intended to avoid the brunt of the confrontation, but the enemy divided their forces and firmly sealed off our retreat. So..."
Su Pan’er listened silently without making any comment on the situation she was not familiar with.
Seeing that Su Pan’er appeared weary, Old Cheng excused himself on the pretense of military matters and left.
Su Pan’er was indeed exhausted, having not rested properly for such a lengthy period. Now in the military camp, sleepiness overtook her and she lay down to rest. She didn’t know when Master Uncle Cheng would inform her of Qin Yi’s whereabouts or when she would be able to meet him.
While Su Pan’er was filled with anxiety, on the other side, Qin Yi was facing a disaster of extermination!
Qin Yi had originally planned to conserve his strength and, in alliance with Huang Weixin, defend Lin City. Unexpectedly, someone took advantage of the distractions facing Qin Yi’s forces and secretly opened the city gates, allowing Qin Feimo’s Qin Army to enter Lin City, leading to the fall of Wumeng Department’s first line of defense.
Upon discovering the breach, Huang Weixin spat a mouthful of blood! Urgently, he led his soldiers to resist valiantly. Qin Feimo, still bewildered, was forcefully pushed out to fight. As the troops clashed and battled desperately, casualties and losses of generals were inevitably suffered. By the time Huang Weixin realized he was facing his own nephew, it was already too late.
Lin City was bathed in blood under the night sky, engulfed in chaos.
Qin Yi had no idea how the battle had taken place. By the time he received the news, Lin City had fallen, and Huang Weixin’s fate was unknown, his whereabouts a mystery.
Qin Yi, who had intended to support Huang Weixin, now faced the Great Army of Jun Ruochen, who despised him thoroughly! Vowing to behead him to avenge past humiliation, Jun Ruochen’s Great Army came surging forward, while Qin Yi’s main troops were still lying in ambush at Weng City, too far to offer immediate help.
At that moment, he led his tens of thousands of men, fighting desperately through a pack of wolves, carving a bloody path to escape. With Qin Feimo and the Great Army in hot pursuit from behind, and Jun Ruochen’s forces pressing from the front, the situation was dire. They were trapped between two forces, and without Lin City as a sanctuary. The escape was humiliating and fraught with detours—it was truly a narrow escape from death.
Fortunately, Qin Yi was a seasoned general with rich combat experience, composed and calm. The trusted aides and military advisors at his side were capable and effective. He feigned a move and conducted a diversionary attack, seizing the opportunity to break free from the encirclement and forcefully clearing a path of escape towards Chun City, where he temporarily set up his position.
While organizing and rallying his troops, he sent people to search for Huang Weixin and to investigate the cause of Lin City’s fall.
It was just then that he received the news of Su Pan’er’s arrival.
Qin Yi had a thorough understanding of Su Pan’er’s character.
Pan’er was unlike ordinary women. She had the temper of a delicate woman, but it didn’t surface whenever or wherever. She was exceedingly considerate and supported his endeavors unconditionally. When she left with Little Yanyan, it was to preserve his Qin Yi’s lineage. There was certainly no reason for her to be in the military tent at this moment.
Yet, here she was, insisting on seeing him in person and even sending Old Cheng to convey the message.
This was way beyond his expectation!
After pondering for a while, he took advantage of the cover of night and quietly returned to the rear where Old Cheng and she were to meet her.
Su Pan’er had been in the tent for three days, consumed with urgency yet restraining her eagerness and forcing herself to wait.
However, she also understood that whether Su Xian’er handed Little Yanyan over to Zhang Cann or to Jun Ruochen, at least before the two armies clashed, Little Yanyan’s life would not be in immediate danger.
The only thing she truly feared was that Yan Yan, being young and naive, might upset those merciless villains, leading to unforeseen trouble. Even if her life wasn’t threatened, what if she was left with scars or injuries? How would that be acceptable?
Thinking about how Little Yanyan had never experienced such hardship, her heart grew even more anxious, yet she had to maintain her composure.
Besides resting for two hours on the first night, while waiting for Qin Yi, she stayed in the military camp, treating the wounded soldiers.
Thanks to Su Pan’er’s Outstanding Medical Skills, which had garnered widespread fame in the army, her diligent and honest work elicited waves of praise. Everyone extolled the lady’s noble character and prowess, hailing her as a heroine among women.
But these were not what Su Pan’er cared about.
She had people urge Master Uncle Cheng almost every day, to which he was at his wit’s end and could only try to comfort her, "Madam, the battlefront is critical, and where the Lord Marquis is now, this old man does not know. The message has been sent. If the Lord Marquis is indeed concerned, he will come to meet madam as soon as possible. Otherwise..."
Su Pan’er lowered her head; she understood what Old Cheng meant. If Qin Yi really couldn’t come, there was nothing he could do.
It made sense, with the war so intense, how could he leave at will?
After examining all the wounded soldiers, she slowly made her way back.
When she reached a field of sorghum, she suddenly halted, instinctively turning around to see Qin Yi standing a few steps behind her, his eyes filled with intense emotion as he looked at her.
Qin Yi’s face was stubbled, and his lips were chapped and white. Struggling to move his lips, he managed a faint smile and extended his hand towards her.
"Pan’er..."
Su Pan’er stared at him blankly for a long time, as though she didn’t recognize him.
But in the next moment, she came back to her senses and suddenly threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly and sobbing, "Qin Yi, I’ve finally seen you again..."
