Liang Province.
June 27.
Bang!
"It broke, it broke! They all broke!"
Sun Buqi rushed into the courtyard. "The last news we got was that Sanshi burned down the granary. After that, there was no word at all!"
"Keep your voice down!"
Sun Li glanced toward the room. "Sister Lan is due in another two or three months. Don't let her hear."
"Ugh!"
Sun Buqi held a scroll of maps and spread it directly across the ground. "Sis, so much time has passed. The current situation is that Eldest Senior Brother, Ninth Senior Sister, and the others have all gone to war. Even the capital's troops have entered the Great Wilderness. Within another month at most, at least one wave of reinforcements will definitely reach the heartland of Ming Province. But the problem is... Sanshi lost contact long ago..."
"Sis, don't cry."
"I'm not saying Sanshi is definitely dead..."
He even had to turn around and comfort her. "Didn't Sanshi lose contact for two months last time too? Didn't he end up fine? He'll definitely be fine this time too..."
What the hell.
In all his life, the last time he had seen his sister wipe away tears was when their mother died.
Creak—
The door opened.
Gu Xinlan, dressed in a loose, wide gown, came out supported by Siqin. "What are you talking about?"
Sun Li hurriedly wiped her tears away. "Nothing, Sister Lan."
As she spoke, she fiercely twisted Sun Buqi's arm, even using the power of her qi and blood.
"Hiss!"
Sun Buqi's face contorted in pain as he hurriedly rolled up the map.
"Sister Lan, let's go back inside."
Sun Li could not even force out a smile. "I think the clothes I made for my nephew this time look quite nice."
"Enough. I heard everything."
