Across Time And Space

Jiang Xiao Xian returned to the army camp on the outskirt of the city later in the evening . He was reading military reports on the Northern borders when the soldiers guarding outside his tent announced that Fei Liu and Yang Yun came to see him .

"General Jiang," Both Fei Liu and Yang Yun lifted their right arm to chest level and greeted in unison .

He lifted his head to look at both Fei Liu and Yang Yun in front of him . Jiang Xiao Xian looked at Fei Liu and nodded quietly . Immediately, the young man started to give him a brief report on his activities .

Fei Liu waited as he had finished his report .

"Fei Liu," The Young General called . "I need you to arrange a few trustworthy hidden guards around Princess Lingchen and tighten the security . The spring banquet is approaching soon . If anyone wanted to hurt Her Highness, they would act before the banquet started . "

Fei Liu raised his right arm to his chest level again . "Yes, General Jiang . " After a while, he excused himself and continued his task .

Jiang Xiao Xian had kept the matter about the Princess" illness a secret from Fei Liu . The fewer people know about Her Highness" illness, the better . Xiao Xian turned to Yang Yun and stared at him for a while . He hoped that the young man would squirm under his gaze, but Yang Yun never seemed to yield under his stare .

"I"m sure you have heard about news about the last herbs Mingyue is looking for," Jiang Xiao Xian spoke after a long silence between them .

"Yes . "

The young general heaved a deep breath . "From now on, whenever Mingyue wanted to go out to look for the herbs, you need to be with her . If you encounter this herb, you need to report it back to me before Mingyue took any action . This will be your mission before the spring banquet begin . "

"Yes, General . " Yang Yun obeyed the General"s command without any question .

Yang Yun knew why the General wanted him to be around Mingyue when she looked for the herb . They were all worried that the old man"s word would come true and Mingyue would disappear .

He gets to spend his time with his fiance, what else could he hope for . He will do his best to protect the girl and avoid any calamity from happening to her .

But sending him over to Mingyue"s side for personal purposes, this does not seem right .

"You don"t have to worry," Jiang Xiao Xian could understand Yang Yun"s worry right now . "I have talked to His Majesty, and he agreed with my arrangement to a.s.sign you . After all, no one knows the Princess" condition better than Mingyue . If something happened to Mingyue, then, Princess Lingchen will be worried too . "

Yang Yun let out a breath . "Yes, General . "

After a while, Yang Yun left the General"s tent and headed towards the training room .

It wasn"t long before his two brothers, Xiao Tian and Xiao Liang showed up .
