Pausing for a mont, Xiao Changyi added, "He escaped back then, but this ti, I want his life."
"Yes, Great General!" The generals imdiately obeyed the command.
After discussing for a long ti, the sky turned dark and the moon rose high. Once the discussion was settled, Xiao Changyi stood up and decisively announced, "In five days, we attack the city!"
"Yes, Great General!"
Attacking the city still requires preparation. With five days for preparation and rest, everyone feels that it’s enough.
...
Once the plan to attack the city in five days was confird, Xiao Changyi rode Zhuri and left the military camp, returning to Xilin City.
Upon entering Xilin City, Qin Er hurried up to et him and reported, "Master, there are two families of farrs’ knowledge in Xilin City behaving strangely."
Xiao Changyi remained silent.
Qin Er continued to report, "Whether they lack money or plan to run away, or for other reasons, their families have been selling off household items these last two days, a significant number of items."
Xiao Changyi didn’t ask for the nas of the two farrs’ knowledge, only ordered, "Send two people to secretly watch them."
"Yes!"
...
An Jing fell asleep at the hour of Si and woke up four quarters into the hour of Xu, sleeping for a total of five and a half hours, which is equivalent to eleven modern hours.
The sky was completely dark, the moon hung over the willow branches.
The moonlight scattered through the window paper, neither too bright nor too dim, allowing a vague view of the room’s general layout.
At first, An Jing was sowhat disoriented, but upon realizing, she knew she had returned from the mountains, this was the posthouse, their room.
Because her hands shouldn’t touch anything, and it’s best not to move, An Jing used her arms to prop herself up to sit.
Rembering Xiao Changyi ntioning deploying Tobanya for her protection, An Jing asked, "Is Jade Jade outside?"
Previously, An Jing used to call Tobanya Wild Goose Jade, but later, the female soldiers started calling Tobanya Jade Jade, and she followed suit, now always calling Tobanya Jade Jade.
"Here!" Tobanya responded loudly while pushing open the door, entered, and lit the room’s lamp using a fire striker, then covered the lamp again.
The room was no longer dim, it brightened up.
The brightness made An Jing slightly uncomfortable and she closed her eyes for a mont, only opening them once she adapted.
Tobanya had already walked to her bedside, awaiting orders.
An Jing smiled, "Having you, a Commandery Princess, protect and care for , my face is really big."
Tobanya said, "Regardless of General being the foremost among princesses, not to ntion General being the female master of Wild Goose Jade’s husband, it’s only proper for Wild Goose Jade to protect and serve the General."
She’s just a small Commandery Princess.
Besides, she followed the saying of marrying a chicken, follow a chicken; marrying a dog, follow a dog. She married ng Zhuqing, thus ng Zhuqing’s female master is also hers.
An Jing laughed, "You know well we don’t consider your husband a slave."
Tobanya imdiately replied, "Yan Yao knows. Yan Yao knows the General always treats Yan Yao’s husband as family."
"You’ve long been married to him, so you’re family to us too. Stop talking about serving or not, it makes uncomfortable." An Jing smiled while getting out of bed.
"Yes."
"Both my hands are injured and I can’t use them temporarily, but I hadn’t intended to deploy any female soldiers to take care of . However, ng Zhuqing approached my husband, wanting you to protect so you could et more frequently. My husband wanted to fulfill that, so I agreed."
Tobanya gratefully said, "Even if Zhuqing hadn’t approached the Great General, Yan Yao would have approached the General about this matter."
