Unexpectedly, as soon as this thought began, there was a sudden roar of thunder outside.

Gu Yun: "..."

Chang Geng reached for his forehead to check his temperature and said, "Your fever has gone down, yifu, come eat something first."

Gu Yun silently took the chopsticks, as he heard the word ‘yifu’, he could vaguely feel something was strange. Unfortunately, this idea passed by in a flash, he was not able to catch it.

Gu Yun: "Did you cook this?"

"In a hurry, there was only enough time to make one bowl of noodles.” Chang Geng replied with his expression unchanging. “Is it alright?”

Gu Yun was feeling uncomfortable all over, he did not understand what Yan Bei Wang was doing, making himself so virtuous*.

*The word used here was a term used to describe women or wives who are skilled in household matters such as cooking, sewing, etc..

Chang Geng seemed to know what he was thinking, he calmly said, "If the country is lost, just push Li Feng aside. I can go open a noodle shop in the northwest, it will be enough to make a living.”

Gu Yun was choked by a mouthful of noodle broth, coughing to hell and back.

Chang Geng laughed and said, "I was only joking."

Gu Yun took the cup of cold herbal tea and downed it: "Good boy, knowing how to use me for entertainment already, truly getting worse and worse."

Chang Geng said with a serious expression, "When you suddenly wanted to bring me back to the capital from Yanhui Town that year, I wanted to run, I had thought about either being a hunter in the deep mountains, or opening a puny shop in a small border area to make enough livings to pass the days. But later as I felt that I was unlikely to be able to slip away from your eyes, I instantly became obedient."

Gu Yun pushed aside the vegetables, picked out the smoked pork at the bottom of the bowl and ate it all. Before he could thoroughly chew it, Chang Geng suddenly leaned back in the chair and spoke with a long sigh of relief, "Yifu, you don't know, as long as you don't appear in front of me safe and sound for a day, I will not dare to close my eyes to rest for a day, and finally..."

Gu Yun said lightly, "I am still a hundred and eighty thousand miles from safe and sound — tell me everything."

Chang Geng understood he was referring to things that he had not spoken of in front of Li Feng.

Gu Yun: "The Black Iron Camp must have been withdrawn by you. Otherwise, He Rong Hui would have fought until the last man."
