Chapter 82 Join (2)

The person that Ye Yiqiu would never think of was questioning his master at this time.

“Who is he to you? What relationship do these people have with you?”

“Disciple, I have saved them.”

Lin Qing stopped talking. The dim candlelight illuminated the lines on his face. After a long time and with Zhao Zimu staring at him, he said, “Next time, you can also speak with them in the front hall. Don’t stand outside for too long.”

He knew that she was afraid to disturb him and didn’t want him to wait on her so late, so, she chose a close yet inconvenient place to stand and talk with those people.

He lowered his eyes and waited for her to speak. However, he still wanted to ask her why she had so many disciples. Didn’t she already have one (8th prince)?

Unexpectedly, what he waited for was a gentle hand lifting his face. Then, he was pulled over and soon the other hand got into his thin clothes, making his breathing unstable.

His clothes had been removed and he had been pushed down on the smooth wooden table. Soon, a warm body pasted against his back. Meticulous and impolite kisses fell on his neck. The lower part of his soon spread a familiar feeling, making him couldn’t help but humph once.

A hand gripped the edge of the table tightly. Listening to her slightly messy breathing and with the body so close to his, he knew that she liked being intimate with him, and this was enough to make him happy.

In the haziness, he seemed to hear a sentence and he smiled. He heard her say behind him, “You are very good…”

The next day, the two went to the gate of Yanping City again. Originally, they wanted to watch the soldiers who planned to go out of the city to attack Li City and learn about the military situation of Yanping, but unexpectedly, they received another news about the change of the situation with the Xiongnu.

The fifty thousand people suspended their journey. The officers and soldiers had an urgent meeting again to discuss the situation on the battlefield.

The specific situation was that for whatever reason, the Xiongnu withdraw from Yanping City early in the morning. Five thousand men whistled past and went straight to Sha City. According to the report from the spy, there wasn’t even one Xiongnu cavalry in Li City now.

No one understand what the Xiongnu mean by this. Why did they withdraw so suddenly?

Could it be a trap? Everyone suspected whether there would be an ambush in the city.

With the Xiongnu’s character, there was absolutely no reason to let go of the meat that was almost in their mouth. Unless, they had some conspiracy. Then, should they send the army now?

This was everyone’s question. All eyes were on general Pingxi who was sitting on the head seat.

General Pingxi was silent for a while before he still decided to go to war because the Xiongnu’s style was always come and go like the wind. Crossing one place, snatching that place. They didn’t have the habit of strongly defending one place. Moreover, it could be because they found out that the hundred thousand soldiers of Great Liang had arrived. Therefore, they got timid and it wasn’t impossible for them to withdraw.

However, no matter what the reason was, facing an empty city, no one would be reconciled if they didn’t go try.

Therefore, general Pingxi ordered Situ Yuanxiao and Chen Jing to each lead a troop of a bit more than twenty thousand soldiers. One would be the front line and the other be at the back as reinforcement. If something truly happens, they could aid each other.

Situ Yuanxiao’s identity was honorable. Chen Jin originally wanted him to stay peacefully in the city. However, this prince was too not well-behaved. He personally accepted the order from Chen Jin and Chen Jin had some grace for teaching Situ Yuanxiao. He also knew what Situ Yuanxiao was thinking. Situ Yuanxiao may have come to Yanping City to establish an outstanding military service.

It wasn’t good for Chen Jin to block Situ Yuanxiao’s path. Although, he truly didn’t want to agree, but he couldn’t stand Situ Yuanxiao’s request.

Moreover, Situ Yuanxiao and Chen Jing added up to a total of fifty thousand men. There were also so many personal guards protecting Situ Yuanxiao. It was always possible to escape and come back even if something goes wrong.

General Pingxi had already spoken. Although, the generals still hesitated in their heart, but they didn’t hesitate to execute the order.

Hence, Situ Yuanxiao and Chen Jing set off the same day. Looking at the people leaving the city like a dense group of ants, Lin Qing asked Zhao Zimu, “Do you think that they can win this time?”

Zhao Zimu was silent. She had never experienced the battlefield, let alone fight in a war with soldiers. She also didn’t understand the power gap between the two sides. She couldn’t judge whether the battle would be won or lost. So, she was unable to give him an answer.

After being silent for a while, Zhao Zimu coughed lightly which caused Lin Qing to cast his eyes on her.

Zhao Zimu’s dark eyes looked at Lin Qing. Her eyes evaded his a bit. However, she didn’t hesitate and said to Lin Qing, “I want to follow them to have a look.”

Lin Qing’s eyes widened in an instant. The pupils shrank violently and he said with a sullen face, “Do you know what you are talking about?”

Zhao Zimu nodded. Lin Qing’s expression immediately turned fierce, “Then, do you know how dangerous it is? You…”

Zhao Zimu immediately grabbed his hand and squeezed it lightly. She blocked what he wanted to say next with her eyes and comforted, “I’m just going to take a look. It will be fine. Trust me.”

Zhao Zimu’s expression was firm. Although, she knew that the person in front of her would be very worried, but she had to do this because this will play a big role in what she wanted to do in the future.

Therefore, she must become a member of the troop marching to Li City!

  1. I really want to ask our FL a question. Miss Zhao, aren’t you a reborn person who roamed the jianghu in your previous life? Why is it that you look like you knew nothing of the important events in your country?
