C108 Kindness Is a Blessing or a Calamity!

Gu Jun’an’s face was cold, “Call me uncle, you don’t have any manners. I will protect her even if you don’t tell me! Go back to your territory!”

Lan Linzhe was extremely upset. It was fine if she had a little sister who was ten years younger than him, but now her uncle was three years younger than her!

This was a huge difference in seniority. He was extremely nervous and had to protect her for the entire night. He even blew the cold wind for the entire night.

When he woke up the next morning, Lan Qingqian found that she was holding a small horse in her hand. It was hand-carved and the lines weren’t very good. If she didn’t see the saddle, she would have thought that it was a dog.

There were two words carved on the chest of the horse – Little Nine.

Lan Qingqian suddenly remembered that when her brother, the Crown Prince, was the Emperor, Ah Che became the Crown Prince. He said that he would carve the most handsome and tall horse for her when he was free. No one in the world could compare to him.

However, a lot of things happened later and it was delayed…

She immediately held the horse and went to find Gu Jun’an, “Has Ah Che left? Will he come to see me when we go back?” Her eyes were filled with expectation.

Gu Jun’an was jealous. This little heartless person’s conscience had been eaten by a dog.

Wasn’t he taking care of her enough? He was the one who caused all the trouble. He only had the puppet Emperor in his heart. He looked at the horse in her hand and felt disgusted.

This horse was so ugly and it was extremely eye-catching. It was better to throw it away.

“If you perform well, he might come.”

“Then what is a good performance?”

“Be obedient. I said it was good.”

Lan Qingqian heard that and put the horse down on the table. She ran over and took a cup of tea for him. “Old Prince Consort, quickly drink the tea.”

“It’s too hot!”

Lan Qingqian blew the tea and only stopped when she felt thirsty.

Before Gu Jun’an could drink a sip, he drank it all. “So thirsty!”

He remembered that he had to suck up to him. He smiled and said, “Wait for me to get you another cup!”

Gu Jun’an didn’t let her leave the tea. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to drink a sip of water this morning.

Lan Qingqian’s eyes lit up.

San Qi walked in quickly and said, “Your Royal Highness, Dongchi has agreed to our request.” He didn’t continue after seeing Lan Qingqian.

Gu Jun’an read the letter. “Get Canglan to prepare and attack from both inside and outside.”

“Yes.” San Qi bowed.

Lan Qingqian thought that they were going to fight again. However, Gu Jun’an didn’t go out after two days.

In the end, Gu Jun’an sent her to the barracks early in the morning.

“Vice General Su, I will hand this little servant to you. You must keep an eye on her and ensure her safety while keeping the barracks safe.”

Su Changsheng nodded. “Don’t worry, Your Royal Highness. As long as I am alive, I won’t let you down.”

In order to convince the others, Gu Jun’an only brought one-third of his soldiers to the city. The rest of them were waiting for the signal to attack from the front and the back.

Sanba and the other four generals sneakily went to the camp two days ago.

He thought about it and decided to leave Lan Qingqian in the camp. There were still many soldiers guarding the camp. When they attacked from the front and the back, Dongchong would not be able to attack the camp.

It was the safest!

Lan Qingqian looked at him like a little girl that had been abandoned. Gu Jun’an pinched her face and said, “Wait for me to come back. If you need anything, you can go to Vice General Su.”

“Okay, you have to come back soon.” Lan Qingqian knew that she could not go with him, so she did not cry.

As soon as Gu Jun’an left, she was not as lively anymore. Su Changsheng sent her to the main tent.

“Gu Xiaojiu, if you need anything, just call me. I can hear you.”

She rolled around on the bed and held her little horse. The sky gradually darkened.

It was already dinner time in the camp. Vice General Su brought her to the campfire and ate with the other deputy generals and soldiers.

They looked at Lan Qingqian and joked, “You look like a girl, but why are you here in the camp?”

Vice General Su immediately said, “Go away, go away. Don’t joke with a little girl. You are ugly, so you should not look good. This is jealousy.”

Lan Qingqian lifted the bowl and drank the vegetable soup, nibbling on the steamed buns.

Vice General Su looked at her in discomfort. “Who gave you such a big bowl to eat? I’ll find you a small bowl.”

Lan Qingqian raised her head. “This is the bowl I usually eat in. I brought it from home.”

Vice General Su’s mouth was wide enough to fit an egg. “Can you eat such a big bowl?”

“This bowl is half full. The dishes aren’t that good. I want to eat roasted lamb legs, roasted chicken, red-braised meat, and braised beef.” She smacked her lips in anticipation.

The soldiers were stunned. Their eyes were green. “What’s your family’s situation?” It was already good enough for ordinary people to drink some meat bone soup every now and then.

She was eating meat and meat every meal. How could they not be envious?

Vice General Su pushed the person who spoke up. “Shut up. Eat your food.”

Lan Qingqian felt that she had no appetite after eating half a meal. She stopped eating and stared at the bonfire in a daze.

Su Changsheng looked at the stars that were slowly rising and sighed. “I wonder how His Royal Highness is doing?”

The soldier asked, “Vice General Su, why don’t you go with them? Your marksmanship is good. If you follow them and kill a few more enemies, you will be promoted. Look at General Li. He doesn’t know anything. He has a good father in the court. He is a general now. If you have more military achievements, you might be promoted to a general too.”

The other soldier immediately signaled with his eyes. “Don’t bring up the topic. Vice General Su doesn’t have any military achievements. Some people have taken away his military achievements.” The person who spoke was naturally Li Duyuan.

Vice General Su felt a little sad. His eyes were filled with disappointment, and he did not say anything else.

He was not willing to be suppressed by Li Du, but what he said was right. He was an orphan and had no power or influence. It was already good enough for him to be a lieutenant. How could he be compared to Li Du, who was in the royal court?

Lan Qingqian saw Su Changsheng’s displeased look and patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t be discouraged. You are also very good. You will definitely be a great general, a general even more powerful than Big Pig Li.”

Seeing her confident look, he could not help but ask, “Oh, how are you so sure?”

Lan Qingqian smiled. “You are Su Changsheng. The general who always wins battles is very powerful. You have a good name. It is auspicious. Besides, you are much more powerful than Big Pig Li. Big Pig Li’s name is very annoying. Li Du Yuan, you are more powerful than him in name.”

“My name was also given by my master. He entered the army when he was ten years old. He has been at the border for many years. When he picked me up, he once told me that Changsheng was a good name. When I become a general, I will be called General Changsheng. It will be very impressive.”

Lan Qingqian smiled, revealing her white teeth. “Yes, look at how confident your master is of you.”

“Then I will use your auspicious words.”

After eating, Lan Qingqian’s stomach hurt. So, she put down the bowl and went to the toilet.

“Gu Xiaojiu, where are you going…” Lan Qingqian had already run far away when Su Changsheng asked.
