Yingtian Academy——
"How's the situation outside?"
Xue Wanran paced the room uneasily and couldn't help but ask again.
The maid replied: "People in the streets and alleys are saying that there is going to be a war. The enemy is coming fiercely this time. Our army has been consumed too much in the battle in the south. This battle will not be easy to fight."
"The emperor convened the civil and military ministers for discussion overnight, and finally appointed General Xie as the commander-in-chief. The fifth military camp and the old Xuanjia Army were all recalled for rectification. As expected, they will leave the city tonight and rush to Lintai County."
"I know all this. Is there any new news? Have you asked for the list of the fifth military camp's expedition?" Xue Wanran interrupted the maid impatiently.
The maid said: "Miss, there is no list, everyone will go out."
Xue Wanran was extremely anxious. Of course she knew that everyone was going out for the expedition. She just wanted to confirm whether Qiao Mo was among the people going out.
He has not yet taken office, and Qiao's father has just achieved great success. The emperor may be sympathetic to the Qiao family and exempt him from going to war.
But now, no one understands her heart. Does she have to say it so clearly? !
Xue Wanran thought about it and decided to go to Jing'an Marquis Mansion to have a look.
It's not just Qiao Mo, Qiao Yin is her friend after all.
Qiao Yin was like that, she couldn't even pack her luggage for going out. This sudden change must have made her in a hurry. As her good sister, she should go over to help.
Xue Wanran was persuaded by herself, grabbed the rabbit fur cloak on the chair, and walked out quickly.
"Prepare the car!"
Xue Wanran was preparing to go to Qiao's house. Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he saw a gray figure walking towards him from a distance. He was familiar with the road.
Qiao Mo?
This time, Qiao Mo didn't carry any big baggage, but he was carrying a sword.
Although his clothes are not very flashy, he has a long stride and a strong posture, which makes him look somewhat masculine.
Xue Wanran was stunned. When she came to her senses, he was already in front of her.
Qiao Mo bowed his hand towards Xue Wanran: "Miss Xue, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Xue Wanran backed away from the people around him and glanced at Qiao Mo secretly. Just as he was thinking about what to say, Qiao Mo asked first:
"Is it warm?"
Xue Wanran was stunned again, and then saw Qiao Mo staring at the cloak on her body, feeling inexplicably annoyed.
When did this happen and he still asked about this cloak?
It doesn’t say whether he will go on an expedition or not! Wait until she opens her mouth to ask, right?
"General Qiao, are you in the expedition team this time?" Xue Wanran naturally wanted to ask.
Qiao Mo puffed up his chest and said loudly: "It's natural for a good man to protect his family and his country. Even if you don't have me, I will go. I learned this martial arts to earn military merit."
Xue Wanran looked at his heroic appearance and didn't think he was bragging. He was indeed a passionate and heroic man.
Xue Wanran's mind turned over and over again, and she looked away. Many words were swirling in her mind, and finally she opened her mouth and said, "Well, take care of yourself."
It seemed like there was nothing else suitable for her to say except 'take care'.
Xue Wanran lowered his head, and Qiao Mo also remembered the purpose of coming, and felt sad in his heart.
“Ms.
"Xue Wanran!"
Qiao Mo suddenly shouted, which startled Xue Wanran, but the second half of the sentence was even more shocking.
"I like you!"
Qiao Mo shouted out, so loud that even the servants not far away and the students walking in the academy heard him.
Xue Wanran almost fainted again. Why are everyone in the Qiao family so picky?
How would she respond to being called out in public?
"You don't have to respond to me. I, I just want to tell you to avoid regrets. It doesn't matter if you don't respond." Qiao Mo was also a little shy, his face was hot.
As he spoke, he reached out and took out a letter from his arms and handed it over: "This is the letter I wrote to you. It took me a day and a night to write it. It's a pity to burn it. I'll show it to you."
Xue Wanran didn't answer, "I don't want to carry other people's affection for the rest of my life. If you have a heart for me, then come back alive. I can wait for you for two years, and then give this letter to me when you come back."
Qiao Mo suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Xue Wanran in disbelief.
"It's only two years. No matter life or death in two years, if you don't come back, I will still marry someone. Am I interesting enough?"
Xue Wanran didn't mind waiting for two years. She didn't want to get married so early anyway. If Qiao Mo could really come back, then...it could only be said that this was their destiny.
"It's so interesting!"
Qiao Mo laughed happily, and his whole body seemed to be injected with a fresh vitality.
At this moment, a servant from the academy ran over and said: "Miss, good news, good news, there is no need to fight. Xirong has withdrawn its troops, and Lintai County is safe. The imperial court ordered all armies to stay put and there is no need to go out to war."
When the news came, Qiao Mo and Xue Wanran looked at each other at the same time. Xue Wanran's face turned red and her head was buzzing.
what's the situation?
What did she just say?
Did she just say that she would wait for Qiao Mo for two years?
Are you ashamed?
"Since there is no need to fight anymore, I withdraw what I just said."
Xue Wanran was so ashamed and angry that she threw away her sleeves and left.
Qiao Mo was also in a daze. Why did he suddenly stop fighting?
No, no, how can I still take back what I said?
stupid!
There's no more fighting, so what are you waiting for? He'll come right away to propose marriage!
Qiao Mo patted his pig head, quickly chased after him, stopped Xue Wanran in his tracks, and handed over the letter in his hand:
"You can take back your words, but a man's words are hard to follow. Just now I said I like you. Whether we fight or not, it's true. It's absolutely true."
"What is written in this letter is my promise to you. I, Qiao Mo, would like to swear to God, you, and everyone that if you marry me, I will treat you wholeheartedly and never let you down in the slightest!"
"Miss Xue, are you willing to accept my letter?" Qiao Mo asked sincerely.
Xue Wanran pursed her lips and looked at him quietly. Although Qiao Mo was very different from the husband she had always hoped for, she asked herself that she did not hate Qiao Mo.
These few days of contact made her discover some sincerity that was completely different from that of scholars.
Xue Wanran reached out to the letter in Qiao Mo's hand, pinched it with two fingers, and raised her eyes to look at Qiao Mo.
"I can accept the letter, but I have to think about other things carefully."
Qiao Mo smiled with a smile on his face and nodded like garlic, "Okay, okay."
Marriage is a matter of course that needs to be considered seriously and carefully.
Only then did Xue Wanran accept the letter.
Qiao Mo ran away from the military camp temporarily. After finishing his words, he naturally had to rush back.
Xue Wanran watched him leave and saw him disappear, then turned around and eagerly opened the envelope and pulled out a piece of letterhead.
Xue Wanran glanced at it first and said in amazement: "I didn't expect that the character Hanhan is so beautiful and elegant...wait a minute..."
Xue Wanran suddenly paused and looked at the eloquent handwriting on the letter with wide eyes.
etc! etc!
This is the letter written by Xie Yuan to Qiao Yin!
Oh my god, it turns out they met a year ago! ! ! !
