The soldier nodded, ”There is such a thing. I heard it from someone else. The general has a girl he loves, but unfortunately, she was killed by the Huns.” After that, the general would rarely show a smile. His heart was set on the battlefield, and he rarely returned to the capital. No matter how hard the family tried to urge him, they just didn't care about the matter of the marriage. ”

So it was like that.

After listening to Liu Zhong's explanation, Su Zhi more or less understood why Xiao Qian had become an older bachelor.

If his beloved woman died at the hands of the Huns, she would definitely want to take revenge on her enemies.

Thinking about it, this General Xiao was also righteous. After the death of his wife, she had never thought about marriage.

In the ancient times, when there were many wives and concubines, he could be considered a true man that could support both heaven and earth.

Liu Zhong finished washing the vegetables and wiped the sweat off his forehead, complaining, ”It's so hot today. It's not like I can go to the hot springs at the back of the mountain to wash. I'll get a few brothers to go to the river pond later.”

Su Zhi was lost in thought. After she reacted half a beat slower, she asked slowly, ”Why can't we go to the hot spring?”

”Cough, the general has just ordered that since there are wild beasts lurking in the back mountains, for the safety of the soldiers, we are not allowed to go near the hot springs. Violators will be dealt with according to military law.”

Could it be because of what happened last night? Recalling the fact that she had appeared before Xiao Qian the night before, fully clothed, Su Zhi could not help but blush. Add to that the sweat that had formed on her forehead, she looked crystal clear beautiful.

Liu Zhong looked at her and scratched his head in embarrassment. ”Young lady Su, you're so handsome. You're even prettier than our village's green flowers.”

Su Zhi giggled and got up after arranging the vegetables.

She carefully thought back to what Xiao Qian had said and ordered the soldiers not to go to the hot springs at the back of the mountain. However, she wasn't restricted to her freedom.

Thinking of this, Su Zhi's heart warmed. She was very grateful for his care and meticulous care.

She should be the kind of person who didn't like to talk, but could actually do something.

Although he had lost some of his surface sweetness, this kind of man was worth entrusting his entire life to. He didn't know who the lucky guy was, who would be able to marry him.

After finishing all the vegetables that he needed for dinner, only Su Zhi pulled the bean bag that she had been playing with to wait at the city gate, wanting to see when A Jin and the others would be back.

The sun had set at the last moment, and the sound of galloping horses came from outside the city gate with the urge to return home.

Before she could see him, the small bean bun jumped up in joy.

The moment the city gates opened, soldiers came back with three sheep and two carts of game on their backs.
