New Year's Day.
Through wind and rain, General Song, who hadn't fallen ill for many years, finally tasted the overpowering onslaught of sickness.
He lay in bed the entire day, his fever subsided, but his runny nose and tears wouldn't stop.
Originally wanting to continue resting, news of scouts at Baimaling forced General Song, burdened with responsibility, to review documents while recuperating, and he had to get up the next day to lead troops to investigate the situation.
This trip lasted four days, and when Song Xian returned, his illness hadn't improved, he ate little, and even developed a cough.
Cheng Yanzhao, fearing that Song Xian might jeopardize his life, couldn't help leading people ten miles out to welcome him back.
From afar, seeing Song Xian returning with a single majestic rider, Cheng Yanzhao couldn't help rolling his eyes.
