Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 326 Aren’t You His Baby?

Time flies.

But in just the blink of an eye, a few days had passed and it was the end of the year.

In the past, at such a critical moment, the entire border would be filled with joy.

But this year is different from the usual style. A solemn atmosphere is shrouded in all the cities on the border.

Under the threat of war, people smiled less than usual, but they could do nothing about the barbarians' aggressive advance.

Even if you don't want to, you can only be forced to resist.

Mohai City where Song Yuan is located has not changed at all compared to other places.

Even in the tense atmosphere, many people have long forgotten the so-called New Year's Eve.

Fortunately.

As a responsible general, Song Yuan was unwilling to treat everyone unfairly, so he ordered the fireman to spend a lot of effort to prepare a special delicacy for everyone during the New Year.

As they ate the meat in front of them, everyone suddenly realized that the New Year was approaching quietly!

That night, Song Yuan made up his mind to stay in the military camp and spend New Year's Eve with everyone, but before Song Yuan's plan could be implemented, it was not until the afternoon.

Ye Xuan had already brought the people from the mansion and brought over plates of dumplings that had been wrapped in advance.

Situ Jing, who had been busy all day, was so excited when she saw Ye Xuan coming that she started cheering immediately.

"Aunt, you are so kind. It's worth it to be able to taste your dumplings during the Chinese New Year!"

As she spoke, Situ Jing had already moved forward, stretched out her hands and put them around Ye Xuan's neck. Ye Xuan noticed this and struggled slightly.

A smile appeared on his face, and he reached out and gently patted Situ Jing's forehead.

"You're already an adult, can't you be more serious? You've married someone else and become a princess, so stop acting like a child every day!"

Hearing this, Situ Jing couldn't help but show a bit of dejection on her face, and muttered to herself.

"I actually think there's nothing wrong with being a child. You want to eat, drink, sleep, and play. At least you don't have to worry about it like you do now, your hair is almost turning gray!"

Seeing Situ Jing looking like she had worked hard and made great contributions, Ye Xuanmei beside her rolled her eyes at her in anger.

"My dear Miss, please stop complaining here. The person who is really the busiest is standing right beside you and not saying anything. How can you be so shameless!"

At the end, Ye Xuan glanced at Song Yuan with a bit of heartache.

Faced with such tenderness, Song Yuan spread his hands and said softly: "To be honest, I really don't have anything to worry about! Compared to my current situation, I think that General Wei and the commander of the barbarians are probably more worried than me!"

Song Yuan's tone of voice clearly contained a hint of gloating. After hearing this, Ye Xuan rolled her eyes at him in anger.

"Don't try to be so stubborn here. Do you really think I can't see it? Why don't you look in the mirror and see how bloodshot your eyes are? Look at you, you're almost unrecognizable!"

Song Yuan looked like this, and it was obvious that he had been enduring for a long time. On the surface, Song Yuan looked indifferent, but in fact, only people around him knew how much Song Yuan had paid.

Faced with such a statement, Song Yuan smiled without comment. After all, a bloody battle was about to begin. It would be a lie to say that Song Yuan was not worried!

So Song Yuan had basically guessed Manzu's movements before, but in the final analysis, as long as the barbarians did not send troops for one day and did not follow Song Yuan's plan, anyone would feel nervous.

It’s hard to recover for a long time!

Especially as a head coach, even though he had already predicted the opponent's next plan, Song Yuan's mind was still turning, trying his best to figure out if there was a second possibility?

He values ​​the lives of his men more than anything else, so naturally he has to prepare for a rainy day. Only in this way can he take precautions!

It just so happens that this kind of thing is the most brain-intensive. It sounds simple, but it is extremely time-consuming to do. Otherwise, how could Song Yuan have become like this?

"You and Jing'er are on military duty, so you shouldn't be able to leave the barracks. But today is the end of the year, and it's a family reunion when we're together!"

Sensing the tenderness in Song Yuan's eyes, Ye Xuan immediately said, "So I've decided to stay here today and spend the New Year with you. That way, it will be truly lively!"

"Great!"

Before Song Yuan could respond, Situ Jing beside him had already raised her hands and clapped repeatedly, showing great excitement about Ye Xuan's proposal.

"By the way, why aren't Fatty Zhao and Bai Ling here?"

Seeing Situ Jing like this, Song Yuan smiled with satisfaction, then turned around and asked Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan explained, "If you ask me, it's no wonder you're friends with Fatty. Fatty's personality is exactly the same as yours. Aside from being a little timid, his actions are exactly the same!"

"Look, taking advantage of the New Year's Eve to show off his skills, Fatty took Bai Ling to the workshop early. They should be back in the evening!"

"It seems that the relationship between these two people is developing well!" When Song Yuan heard this, a smiling expression appeared on his face and he sighed sincerely.

Then he turned his head to look at Jinlian and said softly, "Your junior sister, I'm afraid it won't be long before you take the surname of the Zhao family!"

Jin Lian glanced at Song Yuan in annoyance and responded, "Isn't this exactly what you were planning? Don't think I don't know. If you hadn't given that fat guy advice, how could his methods be so similar to yours?"

"Your Highness is quite thoughtful. Not only does he have women on his side, but he also gives advice to others. I think the princess needs to keep a closer eye on him in the future. Otherwise, he might start to flirt with other women!"

When Jinlian finished speaking, she glanced at Situ Jing, and Situ Jing's face suddenly turned red.

"Why are you kidding me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere in the tent relaxed a lot.

Song Yuan took this opportunity to order someone to bring a large pot and placed it in his tent. Then he slowly walked out to the outside world to catch his breath.

The dumplings were cooking in the pot while Song Yuan was basking in the cold wind.

A gentle voice came from behind: "Are you sure this time?"

Looking back, I saw Ye Xuan approaching with a worried look on her face, and her eyes clearly revealed a bit of heartache.

Even though Ye Xuan has never been involved in military affairs, she knows that this matter is different.

In the past, the barbarians mostly relied on sneak attacks. Even if they did take any action, it was just a minor fight. As long as Song Yuan was on guard, he could easily deal with it!

But this time it's completely different!

The barbarians are clearly serious about their attack, and a war is about to break out!

The battle that everyone will face next will surely be extremely brutal, and no one knows whether they can survive in the end!

Even Song Yuan had a worried look on his face as he softly replied, "As for my confidence, I do have some, but I don't have much confidence in whether I can control the casualties to an acceptable number in the end!"

Hearing this, Ye Xuan's originally anxious heart sank a little. As long as she was confident, it would be fine.

When he noticed the heaviness in Song Yuan's heart, he was the first to speak up to comfort him.

"You're asking too much. War is always full of casualties. You keep dwelling on those few great victories, but honestly, looking at the entire history of the Qin Dynasty, how many have managed to achieve the same fate as you, ultimately losing only a few hundred men?"

"As a general, you only need to remember one thing: kindness does not command an army. Just do your best in everything. There's no need to set too high a standard for yourself!"

Song Yuan had said before in front of several women that the result like that in the Land of Divine Punishment would be difficult to happen again in the future.

As a smart man, Song Yuan naturally knew that what Ye Xuan said was true.

She nodded slightly and said softly, "I understand the truth. You don't need to comfort me. Just let me calm down and I will figure it out myself!"

"But there's one thing you have to agree to, no matter what you say... For your safety, I plan to send you, Jinlian, and the others to the hidden soldier cave in the Land of Divine Punishment after the Lunar New Year!"

"That place is still a secret to the outside world. I'll arrange for you guys to take shelter there for a while. That way, I can rest assured!"

Song Yuan said softly, but Ye Xuan frowned slightly at this statement, and her heart was suddenly lifted.

Logically speaking, being next to Song Yuan is the safest place.

But now the other party wants to send the woman next to him to another place. Doesn't this prove that although Song Yuan says he is confident, he actually has no confidence in his heart?

Is blindness really that dangerous?

Just thinking about it, Ye Xuan's face became twisted.

Song Yuan keenly noticed Ye Xuan's change and quickly spoke to comfort her.

"Don't worry, I did this just in case. Besides, I can worry less without you guys around!"

"The situation isn't as bad as you think. It's just that you guys are the most important to me, so I don't want you to take even the slightest risk!"

Song Yuan's affectionate words immediately eased Ye Xuan's expression, and a hint of concern appeared in her pupils.

"Song Yuan, I believe what you said. I believe you will survive to the end. However, on the battlefield, you must be extremely careful!"

"Remember this, you are the commander-in-chief. Your only mission is to come up with strategies. When the time comes, I must not be jealous and must not rush to the front!"

"Also, you should keep a close eye on Jing'er. She grew up with me, and I know her personality best. If Jing'er gets out of control, you must find a way to stop her. No matter what, don't let her do anything!"

Faced with Ye Xuan's tender admonition, Song Yuan nodded with a bit of solemnity, and his tone of voice was extremely serious.

"Okay, don't worry, I will listen to you!"

However, he didn't expect that as he finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly rushed over from a distance.

Ye Xuan was about to say something, but was completely interrupted by the sudden appearance of the figure. Looking closely, she saw a man wearing a white fur coat, and his whole body was wrapped in white.

In the ice and snow, it is as if invisible.

Otherwise, why would it be noticed only when it was so close?

"you……"

Faced with such a strange outfit, Ye Xuan subconsciously screamed.

Thanks to Song Yuan waving his hand, Ye Xuan gave up the idea.

"Don't worry, this is one of ours!"

Speaking, today Song Yuan has already looked at the man in the fur coat and asked softly.

"How's the news going? What's the situation in the camp right now?"

"Your Highness, from a distance we can see the bright lights in the barbarian camp and smell the aroma of meat!"

"If my guess is correct, the other party should be sensing the dry food, and there is a high possibility of something unexpected happening!"

This person responded to Song Yuan immediately, and when he heard this, his brows frowned instantly.

Normally speaking, if the people in the barbarian camp just want to satisfy their appetite, fresh meat is more practical after all.

But now, they are working all night to prepare the meat, and the aroma is everywhere. There is only one possibility.

That is to prepare for dry food!

It is very likely that the barbarians have already started planning the next raid and preparing dry food in advance just to sustain their consumption during this process!

"Go keep an eye on that place. If anything happens, be sure to notify me immediately!"

After thinking about it, Song Yuan gave the order with some seriousness.

The subordinate in front of him nodded quickly, turned around and left, and in the blink of an eye he had completely disappeared in the snow.

While the two were talking, Ye Xuan had already returned to the tent and found Situ Jing to tell her what had happened before.

At the same time, with some curiosity, he asked about the identity of the man in the white fur coat.

"Those people were specially trained by Song Yuan. That guy even gave them a weird name called the Golden Saints!"

Hearing this, Ye Xuan blinked slightly: "These people can't see their appearance clearly at all, how does Song Yuan distinguish who they are?"

"Don't ask me about this. Even I can't tell who they are!" Situ Jing shook her head and explained softly.

"These people have been replaced by a new group, and Song Yuan has been hiding their identities from the outside world!"

"According to Song Yuan, these people are carrying out special missions and have extraordinary significance in the eyes of the enemy. If they are discovered by the outside world, their families are likely to face retaliation!"

"Behind this concealment, in fact, it also represents Song Yuan's protection of them. After all, these people are carefully selected by Song Yuan, and each one of them is a treasure in Song Yuan's heart!"

Hearing Situ Jing's comments, Ye Xuan couldn't help but cover her mouth and started to tease.

"If you ask me, you are the most precious treasure in his heart!"

"What about you? Aren't you the same?"

This time, Situ Jing was out of character. Instead of being angry, she narrowed her eyes, looked at Situ Jing and spoke softly.

When Ye Xuan heard this, her face flushed with shame: "What are you talking about?"

While the two were arguing, Song Yuan suddenly rushed in with a panicked look on his face.

He immediately waved his hand and whispered to Ye Xuan and the others.

"The rest of you, please step aside for now. I received a message earlier that General Zhao is here with his men!"

"Your identities are sensitive, so you shouldn't be here. If you fall into General Zhao's sight, it will inevitably bring trouble. I'm sorry to bother you for a moment!"
