Chapter 106.2

Big Long raised his eyebrows, “You must take my instructions seriously.”

“What are the General’s instructions?” She listened carefully to everything he said, memorizing every single sentence.

“When you return, if the Lord Governor has already released Tang Xuan, you will find a way to get yourself safely out of Zhonglan and out of Pingnan.” He said while writing an address to An Ruochen.

An Ruochen took a look.

Yu Guan County, Lan City, West Street, Zheng Guang Money Bank, Sun Jian An.

“Boss Sun is a member of my Long family. If you leave Zhonglan, find him. I have instructed him. He will take care of you.”

An Ruochen didn’t care about this person’s identity. She only said anxiously, “I can’t leave. I must investigate the case and catch the spy for you in Zhonglan. How can you fight on the front line without support from the back? If I catch the spy and get the evidence, the South Qin Emperor will have a handle on King Hui. Didn’t you say that this is the most important thing, avoiding war and not letting innocent people die?”

Big Long opened his mouth to speak, but An Ruochen didn’t give him a chance and continued, “How can you run away when you see a little danger? That won’t do. If there is a problem on the side of the Lord Governor and he helps the spies, I will deal with him. If Qian Pei is a spy, I will deal with Qian Pei. If Tang Xuan is a spy, I’ll deal with him too. No matter what I encounter, I can’t admit defeat and give up.”

“If there is a Governor to help you, you still have a few chances of winning. If the Governor is a spy, you’re isolated in Zhonglan and only have the chance to be captured and used as a hostage against me. What are you staying there for?”

“Didn’t we discuss this matter?”

“Discussed what?” Big Long glared at her.

“If they use me to threaten you, you should not pay any attention to it. Just tell them that a great man has no wife.”

“Miss An Ruochen.” Big Long continued to glare at her. Her skin is itchy, right? Is this something to joke about?

“It wasn’t set like this? Why do I remember that it was indeed so? At that time, we said that if the spies use my fourth sister as a threat, I couldn’t submit. Also, if they use me to blackmail you, you wouldn’t submit either. Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered. My fourth sister may be alive. I still have to find Master Jing Yuan to save my fourth sister. I can’t leave.” An Ruochen’s tone was confident, but Big Long’s glare was explosive. So she hurried to change tactics, softening her tone while holding Big Long’s arm, and said: “The most important thing is that the General is here. Didn’t people say that husband and wife follow each other? So wherever you are, General, is where I’ll be. The General is guarding the border in Pingnan County. So I will stay here too.”

“Husband and wife don’t apply to us.” Big Long said, “After we get married, you will be the General’s wife, and you will have to be in charge of the family in the capital.”

An Ruochen froze and blinked her eyes, finally realizing the problem. She carefully confirmed, “After I get married to you and get to the capital, I’ll only be able to stay there?”

“Not exactly. You can also come back to Zhonglan to visit your family if you want to, and you can go wherever you want to play. It’s just that most of the time, of course, you have to stay at home. You’re the eldest sister-in-law, and you have to take care of all the affairs of the Long Mansion.”

“But if you go to the border to be as you are today, I will still stay in the capital?”

“Of course.”

An Ruochen stared blankly. Right. The man goes out to run the business, and the wife serves the elders at home and looks after the children. “Then being a general’s wife is not as comfortable as being a general’s steward.”

An Ruochen did not pass it through her brain, just said it from the bottom of her heart, and was poked in the forehead by Big Long. “What a nonsense.”

An Ruochen pouted. Her heart was unconvinced. She liked the General and wanted to be with him all the time. Even if she couldn’t confront him face to face, a distance like she was in Zhonglan City while he was at the Si Xia River would still be fine. At least when she wanted him, she knew where to find him.

But after they marry, they wouldn’t be able to do that anymore. Or should she say that when they return to the capital, they couldn’t be like this? An Ruochen suddenly felt sad.

Big Long poked her again, “Thinking nonsense.”

An Ruochen hugged Big Long’s waist, buried her face in his embrace, and muttered, “Can I think nonsense? I spend the whole day thinking about the spy’s business and the General.”

“No sugarcoating, ah.” She was stirring up the soldiers’ hearts.

“That’s why I still can’t leave Zhonglan City. At least there I can still think about the spy. But when I go elsewhere, I can only think about you, General. When I’ll think how I can’t see you at all, how sad will it be.” She raised her head. Her eyes were pitiful and teary.

“This excuse is completely unconvincing.”

“This is not an excuse. This is still sweet words.” An Ruochen shook her head and playfully continued to hug the general tightly.

Long Dai sighed and reached out his arms to hold her tight, “Sometimes it feels like it’s a bad time for us to meet, a whole lot of things waiting to be done, and I can’t even listen to you properly when I want to.”

He lowered his head and kissed the top of her hair. “How could I not want you?” That’s why he kept her letter in his bosom. She’d written those mushy words of love, knowing they were written to disguise what was there, but he just looked at them and rejoiced. “I would worry about you. All that stuff about threats and such is just harsh words. If I encountered such a thing, I would be sad and in pain. We can obviously avoid this matter. Can you bear to let me suffer over this thing?”

An Ruochen also sighed, sighing louder than him. The General was really playing against the rules. A fearless and powerful military General, how can he play the victim? But when she hears these words, she feels heartbroken.
