Also at this mont, An Jing was fully aware that war was truly going to start, tomorrow.
Xiao Changyi glanced at the sand table again before raising his eyes to look at the generals, his cold eyes seemingly filled with thousands of troops and horses: "Tomorrow."
He only said two words, and the generals imdiately responded with a resolve of life and death: "Vow to conquer Jingye City!"
Their voices were high-pitched, shaking heaven and earth.
...
Ye Zhi returned from the military camp and imdiately inford the female soldiers about the siege tomorrow. After she finished explaining, Ye Zhi went to find Gong Juechen, telling him that tonight she couldn’t take care of him, and letting a young soldier take care of him instead.
Moreover, she needed to sleep early, as she would have to get up very early tomorrow.
Actually, Gong Juechen’s wound on his bottom had already crusted over, allowing him to get up and move, but Gong Juechen just wanted Ye Zhi to take care of him for a couple more days, refusing to get up and instead continuing to lie on the bed.
And his reason was quite legitimate — yes, the wound had crusted over, but what if I start moving and it gets torn open again?
It was precisely because of this reason that Ye Zhi allowed him to continue lying in bed, while she took care of him.
Now, hearing that Ye Zhi would be going to the siege early tomorrow and wouldn’t take care of him tonight, Gong Juechen imdiately beca worried, pulling Ye Zhi’s hem and asking pitifully, "Zhizhi, can’t you not go to the siege?"
"I can’t!" One more person equals more strength, she must go!
"But it’s so dangerous..."
Seeing Gong Juechen truly worried, Ye Zhi softened her tone: "I won’t be hard."
Gong Juechen imdiately gripped Ye Zhi’s hand tightly, "Zhizhi, you absolutely can’t get hurt, if you do, I don’t want to live anymore."
Ye Zhi instantly gave him a sideways look, "If anything happens to , you’d live much better, trust ."
"I can trust you on other things, but this, I can’t." Gong Juechen’s peach blossom eyes were fervently looking at her.
Ye Zhi couldn’t et this kind of Gong Juechen’s eyes, she turned her gaze away and muttered indistinctly, "I don’t care whether you believe it or not."
Then, Ye Zhi pried his hand away from hers, "Alright, I’m leaving. Soon a young soldier will co to take care of you."
After saying this, without looking at Gong Juechen, Ye Zhi turned and left.
Gong Juechen watched Ye Zhi leave, and only after she disappeared from his sight did he murmured very softly, "Zhizhi, I will send soone to protect you, you won’t be in harm’s way... you won’t be."
...
Tomorrow is the day of the siege, and An Jing couldn’t sleep the entire night, her husband had already fallen asleep, and seeing him asleep, she felt much more at ease.
If her husband hadn’t slept tonight, tomorrow she’d definitely worry about him not having enough energy to siege.
The moon was especially large and bright, its light filtering through the window paper, and with a slight lift of her eyes, An Jing could faintly see the cold hard and perfect line of his chin.
Afraid of waking her husband, An Jing dared not move, but in her heart kept silently repeating: "Husband, tomorrow... you must return safely. Not a bit of harm. Must."
...
The next day, early in the morning before dawn, Xiao Changyi was already up, An Jing also got up with him.
As always, it was Xiao Changyi who dressed An Jing, put on her shoes, combed her hair, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and fed her breakfast.
Today Xiao Changyi was to lead the troops to siege, but he still took care of her, An Jing felt she was burdening Xiao Changyi.
But Xiao Changyi joyfully accepted this responsibility.
After they finished breakfast, the sky was just starting to lighten, Xiao Changyi changed into battle armor in front of An Jing.
