At this moment, the tent was suddenly lifted.
Yu Youyao stopped in her tracks and froze on the spot.
Yin Huaixi had grown taller again. He was wearing a battle robe, and his jade-like face looked even more defined. His edges were firm, but he was still as graceful and n.o.ble as before.
He stood quietly at the entrance of the tent and looked at her. He had one hand on the curved knife at his waist, and his entire body was filled with a murderous aura that had been sharpened by blood and war. He was terrifying to look at and she did not dare to approach him.
“You…” Yu Youyao’s eyes suddenly turned red, and even her voice trembled. “You’re back!”
Yin Huaixi laughed softly. His voice was even deeper than before, and the murderous aura on his body dissipated. He strode forward and hugged the woman he had been dreaming about for a long time. Then, he said unhappily, “You’ve lost weight!”
Yu Youyao pressed her face against the armor on his chest and complained, “Ever since you led your troops to chase after Zamo He’s army until they reached the depths of the gra.s.sland, I haven’t been at peace for a day. Every few days, the Imperial Court will send a doc.u.ment over and persuade General Lin to send a message to you and summon the army back. The soldiers stationed in the army also argue every day. They all say that the terrain of the gra.s.sland is complicated. Our army has never gone deep into the gra.s.sland. If we’re not careful, we’ll be lost in the depths of the gra.s.sland. They said that there’s a man-eating swamp in the gra.s.sland, and there are also man-eating crocodiles hidden in the gra.s.s. If we don’t know the terrain of the gra.s.sland, we’ll die until not even our bones are left. We don’t have any experience in fighting in the gra.s.sland. It’s very easy for us to suffer when we meet the Di people…’
In short, there were all kinds of things to say. No one believed that Yin Huaixi could escape unscathed. She was also anxious.
As she spoke, Yu Youyao’s voice began to choke.
Yin Huaixi listened in silence, and his cold face was gradually replaced by gentleness. Only then did the clamoring war drums, roars, and miserable screams that were still ringing in his ears fade from his mind one by one, replaced by the gentle and fragile sobbing in his ears that contained grievances and longing.
Only then did he feel like a living person.
“Don’t cry.” Yin Huaixi lowered his head and rubbed his chin against the top of her head. He said hoa.r.s.ely, “I’m back!”
“I’ve been waiting for you.” Yu Youyao sobbed and slowly stopped crying. She gently tiptoed and looked up, revealing a relieved smile. She rubbed the tip of her nose against his and smiled briskly and happily. “I knew you would definitely come back.”
Her intimate behavior revealed a hint of mischievousness and cuteness, but it made Yin Huaixi tense up. Her small jade nose rubbed against the tip of his nose, and her slow breath landed warmly on his nose, carrying a hint of damp fragrance that lingered in his breath. It was as if the two of them were breathing together in an instant.
This indescribable intimacy made Yin Huaixi’s entire body go numb. He couldn’t help but look at her lips. Her delicate lips were so close that as soon as he lowered his head…
His breathing became chaotic bit by bit.
The soft touch of her lips made Yin Huaixi’s eyes instantly darken.
At this moment, a voice sounded from outside the tent. “Your Highness,
General Lin wants you to discuss matters in the tent.”
Yu Youyao was shocked. She hummed and quickly reached out to push him.
Yin Huaixi could only let go of her. Seeing that the little girl had buried her head in his chest and was so embarra.s.sed that she did not dare to look at him, a smile appeared on his lips, and his deep eyes were filled with gentleness and love. “I’ll be back soon.”
Yu Youyao’s lips curled up and she hummed like a cat. Just as she was about to leave his arms, Yin Huaixi pulled her into his arms again and buried his head in the side of her neck. He took a deep breath, and the feminine fragrance lingered in his nose and his heart, making his heart tremble wildly. His body burned, and he let out a sigh that sounded satisfied, unwilling, and helpless. “Go quickly.” Yu Youyao pushed him gently.
However, Yin Huaixi couldn’t bear to let go. He hugged her more tightly and rubbed her in his arms. He said hoa.r.s.ely, “We were separated for four months.”
His voice was hoa.r.s.e. He did not say that he missed her, but it was clear that he missed her deeply. Yu Youyao said softly, “General Lin is still waiting for you. Come back early.”
Yin Huaixi could only let go of her. He lowered his head and gently kissed the top of her fragrant head. “Wait for me to come back.”
Looking at his sticky appearance, how did he look like the iron-blooded person who had just stepped into the tent? Yu Youyao couldn’t help but giggle.
Yin Huaixi couldn’t help but want to pull her back.
Yu Youyao was already on guard. She spun around and dodged his outstretched hand. She glared at him angrily. “Hurry up and go. You’ll be a joke.”
As soon as Yin Huaixi returned to the camp, he did not even go to General Lin’s place and directly came to her. There were too many people in the army. If he stayed here and delayed, something might spread.
Although!
Her marriage with Yin Huaixi was considered an open secret in the army.
However, was she shameless?!
The battle with Zamo He had won a short period of peace for the North. but there were still small groups of the Northern Barbarian army who came over from time to time to provoke them. From time to time, Yin Huaixi would also bring a team of soldiers deep into the gra.s.sland and plunder the branches on the gra.s.sland. They obtained a large number of supplies and caused heavy losses to the Northern Barbarians.
The two sides exchanged blows. The various tribes of the Northern Barbarians also realized that Zamo He’s previous guess was true.
Yin Huaixi might have already grasped the topographic map of the gra.s.sland and understood the distribution of the various tribes in the gra.s.sland.
Everyone in the various tribes of the Northern Barbarians was in danger. Some engaged in self-preservation, some were angry, and some were filled with hatred. In short, more and more tribes joined the war faction and partic.i.p.ated in this war.
More and more troops among the Northern Barbarians gathered.
When the news reached the Imperial Court, it was solemn. Someone said, “King Yue Fei shouldn’t have taken the initiative to attack and enter the gra.s.sland to plunder the resources of the Northern Barbarians, expanding the battle.”
News of the North’s success spread like wildfire. King Yue Fei’s reputation in the court was unprecedented, and many generals respected him very much.
Immediately, a general glared at this person and reprimanded them, “I think you’ve been kneeling for too long and can’t stand up. The Northern Barbarians have been plundering the borders of our Great Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years. Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty has plundered them back, how can you blame King Yue Fei?”
“Ever since he ascended the throne, we’ve made a fuss with the Northern Barbarians a few times. The conflict between the two sides is worsening day by day, and it’s already irreconcilable. How did it become King Yue Fei’s fault?”
“Your brains are muddled by sh*t. The Northern Barbarians are affected by the drought and lack resources, so they have no choice but to send troops against the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is a battle for survival. It’s not something that anyone can decide.”
“The Northern Barbarians want to take advantage of the internal strife in our Great Zhou to break through Jinzhou and enter Shanhai Pa.s.s. King Yue Fei went deep into the gra.s.sland and caught them off guard, disrupting their plan. That’s why they bought a chance for the North to catch their breath. The Northern Barbarians continue to increase their troops, which also shows that they’re afraid of King Yue Fei and that they’re not completely confident in this
battle.. “
