His father’s voice was deep and powerful.
She was now immensely grateful to the prince of the Frontier who had brought the medicine pills, as well as the divine physician who prepared them.
When the world becomes peaceful, if she is still alive, she must personally visit and present a generous gift to express her thanks.
She stepped into the house.
When Jiang Yan saw his daughter enter, he abruptly stopped his angry scolding, “Hongyan?” he called out softly.
“Father!”
Jiang Hongyan called out softly and ran over to kneel before Jiang Yan, “Father, seeing you unharmed, your daughter is relieved!”
“Good child, weren’t you said to be injured? How does it look like nothing is wrong with you?” Jiang Yan questioned doubtfully.
Thinking of himself, who had been unconscious for several months and now had awakened with boundless energy.
He suddenly realized he had asked a foolish question.
“My dear daughter, get up and tell your father, how did you come to the Frontier? Is everything alright at home? Is your mother well? And your grandmother?”
First the larger family, then the nuclear family, and finally his dear wife.
This showed his sense of the bigger picture.
“All is well, but upon learning of your injury, Grandmother became so anxious she fell ill. Mother has been busy taking care of her and looks much older due to the worry!”
“She has suffered much!” Jiang Yan said, then added, “I won’t dislike her for aging, nor will I ever, look at me, so old and weathered, yet she does not disdain me either!”

Thinking of his beloved wife, even the decisive Great General resembled a young lad experiencing the stirrings of first love.After all, he rarely made it back home once a year, and sometimes not even once in three to five years.
His wife would come to the Frontier to accompany him for some time, merely to fulfill her filial duties, yet they had to live apart.
“Mother loves Father the most, how could she ever disdain you!” Jiang Hongyan said softly, then asked, “Father, may I stay on the Frontier? I wish to join you in the battle and kill the enemy!”
“You?” Jiang Yan went silent for a moment.
He knew his daughter well.
Highly skilled in martial arts, but asking to fight on the battlefield, “Father, I almost died this time, and I realized that even if I must die, I need to do some meaningful things. Father, will you agree to my request?”
She seized the opportunity when her father was most tender-hearted.
Jiang Hongyan pleaded earnestly.
“Well…” Jiang Yan was reluctant to let his daughter stay on the Frontier. After all, a delicate girl should be raised in the flourishing capital.
But of all his children, she had the strongest and most determined character, very much like him, “Then stay, but as for the prince, you must speak to him personally. Tell the prince about your determination, understand?”
“Yes, I understand!” Jiang Hongyan nodded gravely.
From this moment on, she was to be a common soldier.
To forsake life and forget death, to protect one’s family and country.
She would be the Dazhou Kingdom’s first female general!
When Li Hengyi and Yuanbao learned of Jiang Hongyan’s decision, they were very surprised.
Especially Yuanbao.
He thought Jiang Hongyan would keep her heart set on her own lord, but she had no such intentions at all, her mind was completely focused on protecting her country.
Li Hengyi eyed Jiang Hongyan, “This prince agrees, but who exactly did you encounter that day?”
“I don’t know, the person was a tall figure in black clothes and a covered face!” Jiang Hongyan continued as she helped her father stand up, “He was two heads taller than my father and exceptionally skilled in martial arts. After a single palm strike exchange with him, I was sent flying and vomited blood on the spot!”
Jiang Hongyan pondered carefully, “That person seemed to have a small scar near the corner of their eye, and they were left-handed, moreover…”
Jiang Hongyan closed her eyes, recalling the situation, “No, that’s not right, they weren’t just left-handed, they must be ambidextrous, because there were calluses on the right hand as well, signifying a person who wields double swords!”
