After Prefect Cheng finished speaking, he noticed that General Gu seemed a bit blank.

Prefect Cheng: …Ah, I see. He must be overjoyed to the point of being a bit foolish. After all, he traveled so far and fought battles all to save his own grandfather, isn't it? Look at that reaction. What a filial grandson!

But he doesn’t need to be so dazed, right?

It's almost as if he suddenly remembered he had a grandfather. Prefect Cheng shook his head like a rattle to wave off his thoughts.

No way, that can’t be it! General Gu is a filial and respectful grandson. He can’t possibly be someone who forgets his grandfather just because he has his sister!

Prefect Cheng smiled, bowed respectfully, and said, "Then, this humble one shall take his leave. There are still some matters in the yamen that need attending to. This humble one will come to pay my respects again to General Gu tomorrow."

Gu Changqing cleared his throat and replied, "Mm, you may go."

After Prefect Cheng departed, Gu Changqing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He turned and entered the tent, his gaze falling upon Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao was admiring her red-ta.s.seled spear. After the battle, the little braid on the spearhead had become dirty, and the small red flowers drawn all over the spear's shaft had faded. However, Gu Changqing had cleaned and mended it, making it look exactly as it was before.

"Do you like it?" Gu Changqing's eyes softened involuntarily.

"I like it." Gu Jiao didn't particularly have a fondness for the little red flowers and braids, but they were all handcrafted by Little Jing Kong. Gu Jiao cherished them for that reason.

If she were to return and Little Jing Kong noticed them damaged, it would make him sad.

Upon hearing her affirmation, Gu Changqing's mood instantly lifted. He said, "Grandfather has awakened. I'll be going to the Prefect's Mansion in a while."

He knew that Gu Jiao hadn't accepted their grandfather yet, so he hadn't suggested she come along.

However, Gu Jiao unexpectedly spoke up, "I'll go with you."

His sworn brother had awakened, she naturally must pay a visit!

Additionally, she wanted to stay close to Gu Changqing, guarding against any potential attack from that death warrior of the previous dynasty.

Gu Jiao wanted to go, and there was no reason for Gu Changqing to stop her.

To make travel easier, Gu Jiao had always dressed as a young man on the border. Today was no exception, except that before they departed, Gu Changqing noticed she was wearing a mask.

Gu Changqing: "..."

The two headed to the Prefect's Mansion.

Old Marquis still resided in the same courtyard where Gu Jiao had initially stayed. The courtyard had been relatively empty before, but due to the recent shortage of s.p.a.ce in the infirmary camp, other patients had been moved there gradually.

Old Marquis hadn't been completely unconscious during these past few days. However, he had only regained full awareness this morning.

He was no longer in a dazed state and finally recalled the events that had occurred in Ye City and Lingguan City—— the people he had seen, the threats he had faced, the abuse he had endured...

However, he had no recollection of how he was rescued afterward.

The servants at the Prefect's Mansion couldn't explain it clearly, so they had simply sent word to Prefect Cheng.

Prefect Cheng had considered visiting in person to get acquainted with the other party, but he didn't dare to neglect his duty under the eyes of the Gu Family Army.

Old Marquis had only learned that the Gu Family Army had arrived at the border when the servants informed him about the wounded soldiers being brought into the Prefect's Mansion.

He had a.s.sumed his grandson would come to see him soon.

But the entire day had pa.s.sed, and he hadn't seen his eldest grandson yet!

In the corridor, Gu Changqing and Gu Jiao halted their steps.

Gu Changqing looked at Gu Jiao and asked, "Are you going to see grandfather?"

Gu Jiao extended her hands and straightened his lapel, gazing at him with a particularly kind expression, "You go first."

Gu Changqing: I suddenly feel like the familial hierarchy is mixed up...

Gu Jiao blinked, I had let you be the big brother all day today. But from now on, I'll be your grandfather's sworn brother. Anyway, you already know about it!

Gu Jiao patted his shoulder and encouraged, "Go ahead!"

Gu Changqing: "..."

Under the benevolent and gratified gaze of Gu Jiao, Gu Changqing entered his grandfather's room.

There were no wounded soldiers housed in the neighboring room for the time being. Gu Jiao intended to go in and sit for a while. Just as she pushed open the door, she caught a glimpse of two soldiers from the Gu Family Army carrying a wounded soldier in this direction.

Soon after, they halted in front of Gu Jiao.

"Physician Gu." The two soldiers carrying the stretcher greeted Gu Jiao.

As Gu Jiao focused on the stretcher, she surprisingly saw Gu Chengfeng.

"How come you're here?"

"How come you're here?"

Both of them spoke simultaneously.

Gu Chengfeng proudly stated, "I came to see my grandfather! I heard he woke up, and coincidentally, the s.p.a.ce in the infirmary camp was insufficient, so I simply moved to the Prefect's Mansion. And you? Are you here to treat the wounded soldiers?"

Surely she wouldn't be here to see his grandfather.

This girl wasn't really part of the Gu Family.

Raising an eyebrow, Gu Jiao said, "I came to see my sworn brother!"

"Pfft! That sworn brother of yours is at the Prefect's Mansion?" Gu Chengfeng found Gu Jiao amusing. Her ability to tell tall tales was getting stronger. He marveled that he had actually believed her before, thinking she had headed north to save her sworn brother and some fool.

However, after spending so much time together, not to mention her sworn brother and the fool, he hadn't even caught a glimpse of a strand of their hair!

In his view, this girl was simply lying!

"He's right here." Gu Jiao said earnestly.

"Oh." Gu Chengfeng chuckled, "Then who is your sworn brother? Point him out to me."

Gu Jiao thought for a moment and replied, "I'm afraid it might scare you."

"Nonsense, keep spinning your yarn. Scare me? Unless your sworn brother is my grandfather, not even Tang Yueshan could scare me!"

"You called?"

Tang Yueshan's voice suddenly appeared from behind Gu Chengfeng's stretcher.

"Holys.h.i.+t!" Gu Chengfeng jolted directly and fell off the stretcher with a thud!

He looked embarra.s.sedly at Tang Yueshan, "What are you doing here?"

Was he seeing a ghost in broad daylight?

Even the saying ‘speak of the devil and the devil comes’ wouldn’t be like this!

Tang Yueshan said irritably, "You can move in here, but this supreme commander can't?"

In fact, it wasn't like he wanted to come. It was just that the infirmary camp was already overcrowded. The allocation to the Prefect's Mansion wasn't based on status but on the severity of injuries. Tang Yueshan and Gu Chengfeng happened to fall into the category of severe injuries but stable enough to be relocated.

Gu Chengfeng snorted, "You can come here if you want, but why do we have to be in the same courtyard?!"

Tang Yueshan snapped, "What's wrong with being in the same courtyard? It's not like we’re sharing the same room!"

"You're in the same room." The accompanying physician said emotionlessly, looking at the roster in his hand.

The two people: “...”
