Cannon Fodder Counterattack System

Washing away the dust, and physical and mental fatigue of the journey, and have been sleeping until the next afternoon before getting up, Ye Sinian felt immense relief while he washed. The mental and physical fatigue caused due to the journey had alleviated.

The original owner, Du Qinghuan, was a frail ger who had been raised in the backyard for many years and had never experienced hardships. Although he could use the system to spend points to improve the original owner’s physical fitness, exhaustion due to such a long journey was unavoidable.

Fortunately, the tent was quite comfortable: the bedding and food were all appropriate, and for some reason, he was at ease when he slept last night. Since he had a good sleep Ye Sinian was quite energetic now.

Thinking about yesterday he remembered, Chu Yue said that he would take him to visit Daliang City today. Ye Sinian couldn’t help but look forward to it.

As the largest city on the border, Daliang City was not as prosperous as the Capital, but it had a local flavor.

It was still early, but the market was already crowded with people. Numerous Hu merchants and Han people huddled together. Various kinds of languages and dialects from all over the world were mixed together. It was lively and noisy, completely unaffected by the war.

Chu Yue led him through the crowd but Ye Sinian originally planned to just stroll around, but unconsciously, he was attracted by beautiful animal skin pelts and huge ginseng. If it wasn’t for Chu Yue’s protection and aid. he would have spent all his silver on them. He had long become a fat sheep to slaughter in the eyes of the enthusiastic Hu merchants who were trying to pinch every penny from him.

He glanced at the smooth, shiny fox fur lying on the chair next to him, and recalled  his behavior of buying as if he was losing his mind before, blushing a little. But He didn’t want to face the surprised eyes of the man sitting opposite, so he lowered his head, staring intently at the steaming butter tea on the table.

Knowing that he had seen Ye Sinian’s cute side, Chu Yue’s heart was full of joy. He took a sip of tea as the corners of his lips raised high under the mask, and said, “Try it, Hu people’s butter tea tastes very good.” 

Ye Sinian didn’t lift his head but still just glanced at the butter tea and quietly took a sip.

The army didn’t have much time to rest and recuperate, because after Chu Yue received a letter from the Capital, the withdrawal of the troops back to the Capital was put on the agenda.

The letter was sent by none other than the crown prince who had a good relationship with Chu Yue since he was a child. Now the situation in the court was getting more problematic. The emperor was seriously ill and the crown prince’s power was on decline. The sixth prince was relying on his mother’s favor to get the court officials on his side and his power was growing.

The crown prince was helpless, so he somehow avoided the sixth prince on the pretext of recuperating from illness. At this time, the letter was sent to urge Chu Yue to return to the Capital as soon as possible to help him.

Chu Yue had long been classified as a part of the crown prince camp. Naturally, he could not stay out of it now, so he had to stop thinking about cultivating feelings with his boy, and return to the Capital along with his troops.

On the other hand, Ye Sinian’s mind was tangled. Because during the few days he spent with Chu Yue, he found that his affection for him was growing day by day. Not only he didn’t feel alienated from him, but he also wanted to get closer. His heart had felt certain about the guess that Chu Yue was his lover, but this kind of thing couldn’t be concluded simply, after all, what if Chu Yue was the wrong person?

If he stays with the wrong person, how would Lao Qin feel when he finds out, let alone himself who couldn’t get past his own heart!

Fortunately, although Chu Yue was very fond of Ye Sinian, he was not a beast to the point of wanting to do something before marriage. Although the urge to love his person well was always in his heart, in the end, he had enough self-control. Moreover, withdrawing troops back to the Capital was a big and complicated task, so he was very busy, so the time to meet with the boy was greatly reduced, but there was nothing that Ye Sinian couldn’t handle.

Because now, with deployment of the army, his mind also shifted to the protagonist shou about whom he did not know the exact details of when he would transmigrate to this world.

=============

When the army reached Yanshan, it was almost afternoon.

Considering that everyone has been very tired of traveling non-stop the past few days, and the terrain near Yanshan was rough and complex, it was really not suitable to drive restlessly at night, so Chu Yue ordered the army to stop and rest, make fire and cook, and set off tomorrow.

While the army was busy, Ye Sinian opened the curtains of the carriage and his eyes suddenly lit up at the sight of the lush green forest not far away. He was sitting inside the carriage the whole time and his bones felt like they were falling apart. It was too boring and tiring.

Since all his energy needed to be released, he thought of a good idea.

After arranging the task of camping to his subordinates, Chu Yue glanced at the mountains and forests that were rich in prey not far away, and ordered Captain Cheng behind him, “Go, bring a group of people, hunt some prey.”

Captain Cheng’s eyes lit up, he nodded quickly, and saluted loudly, “Yes! General!” 

Chu Yue, annoyed by his loud voice, stretched out his foot and kicked him, so Captain Cheng strode toward the crowd excitedly. He brought a group of men who seemed more like bandits and not soldiers and rushed into the mountains and forests mightily.

These people were warriors with an experience of a hundred battles, and many of them were armed with weapons. Therefore, Chu Yue was not worried that they would be in any danger, so he just shook his head and rode his horse to Ye Sinian’s carriage. As he came face to face with those phoenix eyes that were filled some sort of curiosity, and his heart couldn’t help but move. He slowly asked, “Would you like me to take you out for a walk?”

“Riding a horse?” Ye Sinian raised his chin delicately, and his eyes couldn’t help but look at the horse Chu Yu was riding.

Although he knew that the boy was looking at the horse and not himself, Chu Yue couldn’t help but clench his body. He straightened his back unnaturally and said, “Naturally,”

“I want to go hunting!” Ye Shinian raised his eyebrows and said.

“Yes.” Chu Yue still nodded, the smile on his lips was doting and indulging, as if he would not refuse all his requests.

Ye Sinian looked at his handsome face without the mask, and met his magnetic eyes that were so deep that they seemed to suck people’s souls, causing the tips of his ears to turn red uncontrollably.

Naturally, Chu Yue would not miss this point. He smiled heartily, and the long scar on the side of his face was dyed with a hint of gentleness. He held the reins in one hand and stretched out to Ye Sinian on the carriage with the other, and said, “Follow me,”

Ye Sinian’s heart moved, and he reached out his hand subconsciously…

Ye Sinian sat in Chu Yue’s arms with a smile that could not be concealed from the corners of his eyes. Although they just rode around and didn’t catch any prey on this trip, it was undeniable that he felt very happy.

It was impossible to say for sure, but when he was embraced by Chu Yue, the reassurance and ease that made him relax his whole body made his guess even firmer – this person might be his lover.

People’s appearances could be different, their personalities may change, but the feelings that are engraved in the depths of the soul cannot be changed.

Thinking of the discovery of his secret observation of Chu Yue these days, Ye Sinian pursed his lips, and the joy of finding his lover flashed in his eyes.

Now, as long as he confirmed one more thing, he could completely determine the identity of his lover!

Thinking of this, Ye Sinian couldn’t help but raise the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a smile full of anticipation.

But soon, when he heard the noisy commotion not far away, his good mood completely disappeared.

His heart skipped a beat before Ye Sinian could recall what would happen during this time as they rode the horse to catch up with the group of people.

His phoenix eyes swept across the scene swiftly, and when he saw the figure of the embarrassed ger in the crowd, Ye Sinian suddenly recalled what he had overlooked.

During this period of time, he has been wondering whether Chu Yue was his lover or not. In addition to the fatigue of the long journey, he didn’t even notice that Yanshan was the place where the protagonist shou came to this world.

So…even if Chu Yue was returning to the Capital more than half a month later than the original timeline, they were still destined to meet?

Ye Sinian pursed his lips, and a dark light flashed across his eyes. He turned around and said, “Put the mask on!”

Chu Yue was stunned. Although he didn’t know what the boy wanted, he still put on the mask obediently.

====

Yang Yuzhang was completely shocked at the present. He didn’t expect that one second he was still closing his eyes and waiting for death, and the next second he was transported to such a magical world.

He was originally gay, and in the modern society, his life was a disastrous failure. The man he loved not only cheated on him, but also shamelessly asked him to help raise children with his woman! In the end, he even watched him being pushed under the wheel by that woman.

If it hadn’t been for his great blessing to come here, I’m afraid there would have been no Yang Yuzhang anymore, right?

He felt very emotional because his previous life was too miserable, so he had no nostalgia at all, and quickly accepted the fact that he transmigrated.

Moreover, after receiving the memory of the original owner, he was even more fond of this world. Here, men could not only marry men, but also have children! This was simply too good! But it seems that the fate of the original owner was not very good. The backyard of their house was too chaotic, and the princess consort’s methods were really sinister. He had to find a way out of that quagmire!
