Chapter 1026: Chapter 233: Achieving a Good Marriage_3

Jun Suxue’s mind flashed with his heroic figure, and she thought of his expression when he saw the ancestral hall, smiling uncontrollably, "These people still want to rebel under his banner. General Pei must have been so angry that he cursed and spat blood when he found out."

Elder Sister Jun agreed, "Yes! And they captured us to force you to impersonate his fiancée; that must have given General Pei quite a scare! Suddenly having a fiancée pop up!"

Under the moonlight, unable to hold back her laughter, she added, "General Pei looks so young, he probably hasn’t married yet, has he?"

Jun Suxue’s smile froze on her face, recalling his words, "He said it was also his first time knowing he had a fiancée." That must mean he isn’t married or engaged, right?

Elder Sister Jun burst into laughter, "Suxue! You don’t want to leave, do you? You want to stay with General Pei, don’t you?"

Jun Suxue blushed, but didn’t deny it, "I promised him that as long as you were rescued, I would serve by his side, and he didn’t refuse."

"Then we’re not leaving for now! Since General Pei didn’t refuse, let’s ask again tomorrow; who knows, maybe a good match can really be made!" Elder Sister Jun thought General Pei was a bit short, but he was still young and could grow taller, and compared to others who were short, he wasn’t too small. Handsome and so capable; General Guangwei is just Fourth-rank, but with this return to the Imperial Court, he will surely be promoted to Third Rank!

Jun Suxue felt anxious and restless. He was already a commander of a whole army, and having been injured and poisoned without receiving honors from the Imperial Court, the Emperor would surely reward him this time, and it was very likely that a marriage would also be arranged. She was just an ordinary person who knew a few characters; her family had no power, how could she deserve him?

Tossing and turning until late night, she finally fell asleep for a while, but woke up before dawn to the sounds of training outside.

Pei Qin rose early, dressed in a training outfit and soft armor, wielding a long spear, "It’s been a long time since I’ve trained like this; my bones were almost deteriorating!"

"General! I heard that the Rong Clan hasn’t been subdued yet. After we return to the capital, should we go fight the Rong Clan again?" asked a few Deputy Generals, all eager to earn more military exploits alongside him.

"If you guys still want to, let’s head to Liaodong for a battle!" Pei Qin replied, "Damn Rong Clan, more treacherous and despicable than the Wa Ci, using the people of Liaodong as human shields!"

"No wonder they haven’t been subdued yet, those sons of bitches! Once we get there, we’ll make sure there’s no place left for them to be buried!" The people of Liaodong were citizens of Great Chu; seeing them treated so dismissively completely enraged everyone.

Even those who weren’t keen on training after their recent victory were suddenly full of fighting spirit.

Refugees and renegade soldiers who had been sent home were all clamoring to join the army and fight the Rong Clan, begging Pei Qin to take them along to the battlefield in Liaodong.

In fact, with so many people and horses, it was logical to enlist them, but the crowd was too complex, containing bandits, robbers, and some from the Rebel Army, and their numbers were vast. Pei Qin was reluctant to enlist them; for some inexplicable reason, he felt a weird sensation.

"Wait for the Imperial Court’s decree!"

The refugees who were willing to leave, after having a full meal and taking the dry pancakes Pei Qin had prepared for them, departed Mount Pingliang.

Jun Suxue approached Pei Qin, "General!"

"Oh! Why haven’t you left yet?" Pei Qin asked when he saw her, sizing her up because she was still in her previous clothes. She was alive and well, and yet they had her dressed in mourning clothes?

Summing up her courage, Jun Suxue looked at him, "General! I meant my promise to serve by your side."

Pei Qin’s lips twitched slightly, "About that... I really don’t need anyone to serve me."

"General! Suxue knows she’s not worthy of you and dares not overreach. I only wish to serve by your side without asking for anything else! Please accept Suxue!" Saying this, Jun Suxue bowed and knelt.

Pei Qin hurriedly pulled her up. Kneeling all the time was really a problem!

But Jun Suxue thought she had agreed and stood up with flushed cheeks, holding her hands.

What man and woman not touching each other? For Pei Qin, holding a woman’s hand felt nothing special.

Jun Suxue’s heart thumped erratically, feeling that his hands were somewhat small, with distinct, slender, and elegant joints, but sporting thin calluses from handling weapons. They were somewhat... overly cool.

"Don’t be so formal! You are a virtuous daughter from a decent family. Go back to your parents and relatives, find a good family, and live well. Following me, I won’t take you in, can’t take you in, indeed can’t afford to!" Pei Qin patted her shoulder; the young girl was quite courageous indeed.
