Episode 23: Training and preparing for war

In the quiet Medicine Valley, a sound of surprise broke the tranquility.That was Cheng Wei, a hidden figure. At this moment, his face was full of surprises.The sachet in his hand fell to the ground, and his eyes looked straight at the graceful girl in front of him - Cheng Yuan.Cheng Yuan, this name once made Cheng Wei sleepless at night, but now she was right in front of her.

“ Yuan'er, you have really grown up.” Cheng Wei grabbed Cheng Yuan's hands excitedly, tears filling his eyes.His words were filled with memories of the past and expectations for the future.

Behind Cheng Yuan, King Qi quietly observed all this, his heart full of doubts.He did not have a close relationship with Cheng Yuan, but Cheng Wei's enthusiasm for her was obviously beyond the norm.At this moment, Cheng Wei pulled Cheng Yuan straight towards the room, which further deepened King Qi's uneasiness.

In the room, Cheng Wei pointed at everything arranged, his eyes full of tenderness.“These are all prepared for you, Yuan'er.” He said softly, as if he was afraid of scaring her.

King Qi listened clearly outside the door and was even more worried.He knocked on the door violently, trying to attract Cheng Yuan's attention.But there was silence inside the door, and no one seemed to answer.

The doubts in King Qi's heart turned into anger.He began to suspect that Cheng Wei's motives were impure.He kicked the door hard, only to find that the door wouldn't budge.Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly heard the shouts of soldiers in the distance.There was a steady stream of sounds, and it was obviously not a small army.

King Qi's heart suddenly sank.He began to suspect that Cheng Wei was not only a lecher, but also secretly stationed troops here with evil intentions.This thought was unbearable for him, and he decided to rush in to find out.

Just as King Qi was about to break in, Cheng Yuan suddenly walked out of the room. She grabbed King Qi and signaled him to calm down with her eyes.With her persuasion, King Qi temporarily suppressed his anger.

In the room, Cheng Wei finally had a chance to explain everything.He told King Qi that Cheng Yuan was his biological daughter.During the war, he and his wife were separated. After that, he searched for their mother and daughter everywhere, but to no avail.Now, with his long-lost daughter in front of him, his heart was filled with excitement and emotion.

After hearing this, King Qi turned and looked at the wall, and sure enough he found Cheng Yuan's portrait hanging there.It was a somewhat yellowed portrait, but the girl in the painting was still clearly identifiable.Her eyes were clear and bright, and there was a faint smile on her lips. That was exactly what Cheng Yuan looked like.

At this moment, Cheng Biyuan also looked at the portrait, her eyes filled with tears.“It turns out that I am your daughter.” She whispered, her voice full of emotion and joy.

At this time, the soldier's report sounded again.They told Cheng Wei and King Qi that the Queen Mother was forcing the Emperor to hand over military power.After hearing this, King Qi immediately decided to go down the mountain. He knew that the court was in a turbulent moment.Cheng Wei expressed his intention to go together because he was ordered by the emperor to train troops and prepare for war here.
