"A word is determined." Ji Xiaotang stretched out his hand, as if afraid that Qi Younian would break the contract, so he had to add a layer of insurance. Although she always knew in her heart that Qi Younian would definitely keep her promise to her.

"A word is determined." Qi Younian's smile was almost doting, and he stretched out his hand.

High-fives are a swear.

"Ayou, we all have something we have to do." Ji Xiaotang told Qi Younian again.

"I understand." Qi Younian looked at Ji Xiaotang, "Xiaotang, I just want to know, what will happen in the end?"

"There are different paths and the same destination." Ji Xiaotang only said four words.

"Okay!" Qi Younian nodded heavily.

With the four words Ji Xiaotang, it seems that everything he does becomes more meaningful.

"There is one more thing, Ayou, I want to discuss it with you in advance." Ji Xiaotang paused and said again.

"What's the matter?" Qi Younian asked.

“About peace talks…”

Ji Xiaotang lowered his voice and said something to Qi Younian like this.

The expression on Qi Younian's face became a little complicated.

Ji Xiaotang had already expected his reaction.

"Ayou, I know what you think, and this is why I told you about this in advance.Ayou. I don't want to give an extra explanation. This is politics...Ayou, can you understand it right?"

"Xiaotang, since it's your intention, then, okay." Qi Younian thought about it and finally nodded.

"Ayou, if possible, I don't want to do this..." Especially if I don't want Qi Younian to know, I don't want Qi Younian to participate in it.

The two were talking when they saw a little girl running in from outside the garden in a hurry. The little girl came to Master Ji Er and seemed to have said something. Master Ji Er looked at Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian.

He and Master Ji San have been following Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian, but they have been a distance and deliberately do not listen to their conversation.

Ji Xiaotang immediately realized it and looked at Master Ji Er.

Master Ji Er came over quickly.

"Xiaotang, Ayou, the prince is here." Master Ji Er told Ji Xiaotang that Qin Zhen is here.

Qin Zhen came, so he naturally would not wait at the door. He knew that Ji Xiaotang and others were in Xinyuan, so he came straight over.

Qin Zhen saw Qi Younian, but was not surprised at all.

"Ayou is busy, I don't think I will go to the royal palace to say goodbye to me. It's great to see him here." Qin Zhen seemed to come to see Qi Younian intently.

Ji Xiaotang glanced at Qin Zhen and immediately knew that Qin Zhen was indeed here to meet Qi Younian.

Face to face like this, even Qi Younian could not completely ignore Qin Zhen. He called the prince, and then bowed and bowed to Qin Zhen perfunctorily.

"Although I often meet Ayou, I haven't spoken well for a long time...Ayou is about to go on a war. I borrowed flowers and offered Buddha in Xinhua Hall, prepared a glass of wine to practice with Ayou." Qin Zhen did not care about Qi Younian's cold attitude, but continued to smile and said.

Qin Zhen was very sincere in his attitude towards Qi Younian. Everyone present felt it, but Qi Younian was indifferent.

"It's not a matter of trouble for the prince." Qi Younian refused Qin Zhen dryly, "Please forgive me for being in military affairs, and it's not convenient to stay for a long time. I'll say goodbye to the prince."

As soon as Qin Zhen arrived, Qi Younian said goodbye and was about to leave, and Qin Zhen could only smile bitterly.

As expected, Qi Younian said goodbye to Master Ji Er and Master Ji San, and said he would leave immediately.

Of course, Master Ji Er and Master Ji San tried their best to keep him.

"Ayou, my mother and grandmother want to see you. It won't take much time." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

Qi Younian could not refuse, so he could only follow everyone to Xuanhua Hall and meet Old Lady Ji and Mrs. Ji Er.

Qi Younian respectfully saluted the two of them.

Mrs. Ji Er's eyes turned red.

Afterwards, Qi Younian wanted to say goodbye, but Mrs. Ji insisted on keeping him for dinner.

"Even if you only drink a glass of thin wine, it is not a good wine. It was brought from Qingyuan. Xiaotang and I brewed it myself when we were idle. Now we can finally drink it." Mrs. Ji Er said lovingly.

Qi Younian glanced at Ji Xiaotang, then looked at Qin Zhen, who stood side by side with Ji Xiaotang, and smiled, and finally nodded and stayed.

Mrs. Ji Er went to the kitchen to watch the people prepare, and then prepared a banquet in Jinghuatang.

At the banquet, the guests and hosts were having fun. If it weren't for not talking between Qi Younian and Qin Zhen, this scene even gave Ji Xiaotang an illusion that everything was back to the past and everyone was still in Qingyuan.

Ji Xiaotang showed that she missed Qingyuan so much.

When Qi Younian stood up again and said goodbye, everyone knew that he could not stay.

"Xiaotang, just now, I felt like I was back in the past." Qi Younian told Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang felt a little moved. It turned out that Qi Younian had the same feeling as her.

"Take care!" Qi Younian bowed and said goodbye to everyone.

"Take care." Everyone said in unison.

"Ayou, I will send you to the battle." Ji Xiaotang said again.

"good!"

Only when Ji Xiaotang saw Qi Younian's back disappearing did Ji Xiaotang withdraw his gaze.

Qin Zhen was next to Ji Xiaotang and gently grabbed her hand.

Ji Xiaotang did not break free, and just returned to Jinghuatang with Qin Zhen, along with Master Ji Er and Master Ji San.

"Do you know Ayou are here?" Ji Xiaotang asked Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen nodded.

Just like Qi Younian knew that Ji Xiaotang was in Xinhua Hall, he was not with Ji Xiaotang. When Qi Younian stepped into the gate of Xinhua Hall before, he knew the news.

"I know that Ayou will definitely not come to see me before he leaves, so I came to see him. If I can't say goodbye to him, it will be my regret." Qin Zhen said this and smiled bitterly again, "But, the matter was almost messed up by me."

Qi Younian was about to leave when he saw him coming. Thanks to Ji Xiaotang's suggestion that Mrs. Ji came, he left Qi Younian.

"But you still met Ayou, had a meal and drank with him." Ji Xiaotang smiled.

"Yes." Qin Zhen also laughed.

The next day, Qi Younian was appointed as the general seal at Zhengyang Gate, bid farewell to Emperor Longqing and Empress Dowager Han, and led his army out of the east gate of the capital and rushed straight to Zhenshan Pass. On that day, the people in the capital were almost intoxicated, with thousands of people leaving the streets, and Qi Younian went out to war.

Among the farewell crowd, there were also many cars and horses.

Ji Xiaotang sat in one of the carriages and watched Qi Younian's figure gradually fade away.
