Chapter 1102: Chapter 251: This Pit is Kind of Big

Dou He had been tense ever since his trip to Daxing to see Mo Heng before he came to Liaodong. When he heard that Mo Heng had returned to active duty, led troops to suppress bandits, and was appointed as the General Protectorate, he was elated for several days, and even started to view the people of the Rong Clan more favorably. This continued until the New Emperor ascended the throne, and she was appointed as Tiance General. He had been eagerly anticipating her arrival with troops in Liaodong.

Pei Qin greeted him with a smile, "Dou He! You’ve gotten a lot darker!"

Dou He was stunned, and for the first time, he actually cared about his own face, "Gotten darker!?" As he got closer, he saw that her complexion was not as dark as before and glanced at Mo Heng, who was by her side, inseparable as a shadow. He turned to Pei Qin with a smile, "Is being darker a problem? You’ve gotten a bit paler, I’ve gotten a bit darker—we’ll be the same shade soon!"

"Who’s going to be the same shade as you? I’m still pale!" Pei Qin rolled her eyes at him.

Dou He laughed heartily, "Have you recovered from the poison? Is your body fully healed? Where have you been all these months?"

"Yeah! I’ve recovered," Pei Qin answered, urging him to go see An Liefeng first. The beauty beside her was emitting a chill.

The soldiers in the camp watched from afar. Reinforcements of 110,000 had arrived and what was crucial was that Deity General Pei Hansan had come. This time, they were sure that Ji Le, the old thief, would not return!

An Liefeng looked at the excited and buoyant soldiers and smiled as well. Seeing Pei Hansan approaching, he hurried forward to greet her, "General An Liefeng, at your service, Tiance General Pei!"

Pei Qin was startled and quickly helped him up, "General An, you flatter me too much! You are a veteran general, and I am just a newcomer playing some tricks..."

An Liefeng laughed, "Han San! Your rank is now higher than mine. It’s the proper etiquette for me to pay respects. We can’t break the rules!"

"Rules are rules, but seniority is seniority!" Pei Qin was a bit uncomfortable with someone of such an advanced age kneeling before her.

After laughing for a while, An Liefeng, who had been appointed as Tiance General but hadn’t changed at all, entered the commander’s tent and asked about her health.

Pei Qin once again explained the matter of detoxifying and recuperating at home.

Dou He glanced at Mo Heng and then back at her. The two sitting together seemed perfectly matched, and he thought of that time when Mo Heng touched her face, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Pei Qin’s ten personal soldiers, Li Shun, Zhou Jian, and others, came over one after another.

Xiao Yong provided each of them with a short gun, "This is the general’s personal soldiers’ equipped weapon, the newest type of short gun. No one else has them yet!"

The ten men looked at the short guns in their hands with joy, "General! With the General here, we’ll soon have a way to beat that old thief from the Rong Clan!"

Others, green with envy, regarded how the Mortar Barracks currently controlled mortars and grenades, and with the addition of long spears, they wouldn’t hold a candle to them!

"Mortar Barracks only have 5,000 soldiers, and Long Spear Camp also only 10,000 soldiers. They are only suitable for long-range combat; the main force is still the large army," Li Shun and the others said with modest words, but their faces showed excited pride.

After Pei Qin had met with An Liefeng, Dou He, and the others, she came to see her personal soldiers and her Mortar Barracks soldiers.

"General! General!"

"General, you finally arrived!"

"We’ve missed you terribly, General!"

Li Shun and Zhou Jian saw a few who didn’t know Pei Qin’s identity getting too close and kept them at a distance. Earlier, not knowing, they always felt the General was closer to them, always able to encounter General Mo. Knowing now that General Pei was actually a woman and General Mo’s wife, they dared not go too close. General Mo was glaring daggers!

"I’ve missed you too! Let’s try out the new short guns, shall we? That’s my gift to you for our reunion!" Pei Qin said with a happy smile.

The crowd joyfully took the short guns, and Pei Qin immediately demonstrated how to load, aim, and fire at the target.

Mo Heng watched from not too far off, with his gaze following her as she happily taught the personal soldiers how to use the short guns.

Dou He’s gaze turned dark and angry, "General Mo, don’t forget, you have a wife and children, a family! Han San will also get married!"

Mo Heng glanced at him, "General Dou will get married as well."

Dou He himself harbored those thoughts and felt guilty; hearing him say that, his complexion subtly changed, "Han San will always be my best brother!" He had feelings but would never overstep his bounds.

"That’s best," Mo Heng said coldly.

Dou He’s face turned darker with anger. What did that mean? He backed off, but was Mo Heng still not willing to let go? To keep entangling Han San, restraining Han San?

Mo Heng walked towards Pei Qin to arrange the shooting practice. Their army wouldn’t launch a direct assault on this trip; after a brief rest, they planned to continue north to encircle the Rong Clan’s stronghold.

Dou He disagreed with the two of them leading troops northward. Either Mo Heng would lead the troops, or he would go with Pei Qin, "That way, there’s balance, and it also guards against Ji Le, the old thief driven to a desperate action!" Anyway, he intended to separate the two of them!
