"My dear, Miss Tang..." Fang Heng came back from surveying the terrain, "There is a cave ahead, which can provide shelter from wind and rain. There is also a pool of water in the cave. Let's go there to rest."

  Pei Ling nodded and took Tang Yue and a group of soldiers into the cave.

  Fang Heng took people out to look for food, while Pei Ling used two cloaks to cover a small space in the cave for Tang Yue to sleep in.

  She had never experienced this before and must have been terrified. Pei Ling glanced at Tang Yue's sleeping face from afar and felt deeply sorry. Starting a rebellion was not something a young lady should have to experience.

  When Tang Yue woke up, she found herself lying on a wide robe with a bright red cloak covering her. The arrangement was so meticulous that even someone as gentle as Tang Jun probably couldn't do it.

  Her heart seemed to be filled with sweet spring water, flowing slowly and silently.

  "My dear, are we trapped in the valley?" She sat down next to Pei Ling.

  The cave was cold and gloomy. Pei Ling fiddled with the fire and looked up to see Tang Yue's still pale face. "Come closer, it's warm here."

  Tang Yue and Pei Ling sat together, watching the shadows dancing in the firelight.

  "Fang Heng has gone to find food. We are trapped here for the time being, but don't be afraid. We will have reinforcements after a few days."

  Tang Yue asked: "Is it Lord Jiang's Zhenyuan Army?"

  Pei Ling nodded: "Jiang Yingxue told you everything."

  Tang Yue smiled and said, "Although Xue Niang appears cold on the outside, she still admires her father in her heart and often talks about General Jiang's heroic deeds."

  "Lord Jiang was personally appointed as the General Zhenyuan by the Emperor." Pei Ling recalled the past with a deep look in his eyes, "Back then, when my father suppressed the northern border, he was also appointed as the General Zhenyuan before he went to war."

  It’s a pity that he was harmed by a traitor along the way, and his reputation was ruined, and he didn’t even leave behind the title of General Zhenyuan.

  Tang Yue had only heard about Pei Ling's various deeds in Chang'an City, but had never heard about Pei Ling's father.

  Pei Ling's voice is like a cool breeze on the hills, telling the story of the Pei family's past, like confiding, like explaining, as if saying, I am this kind of person, with this kind of family, are you willing to stay with me?

Tang Yue didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment. She inexplicably recalled the first time she entered Pei Mansion. The whole garden was filled with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and Pei Ling was standing alone in the pavilion, his back lonely and far-reaching.

  She suddenly wanted to make the osmanthus chiffon cake again. At that time, Pei Ling's sense of taste had only recovered a little bit, so she definitely couldn't taste the special osmanthus fragrance on a sunny day. But now it is different. It must taste very sweet and fragrant.

  "My dear." Fang Heng called out from outside and came into the cave empty-handed.

  Pei Ling returned to his usual cold expression.

  Fang Heng apologized, "This season should be full of fruits, but there is not a single fruit tree in the valley. There is not even a single rabbit or squirrel to be seen. We were helpless and only managed to pick a few mushrooms."
