The wind outside was not cold, but the moment the two of them went out, Shi Qingxue admitted that she had no intention of going out at all.

But at this moment she could no longer make the decision.

She remained silent all the way until she realized that Chu Yan's purpose did not seem to be limited to outside the bedroom. Finally, a look of panic appeared on her face.

"Chu Yan, where are you taking me?"

"We're not going anywhere else." Chu Yan put his hands carefully on her lower back and comforted her.

Soon, he stopped in a pavilion in the yard.

Shi Qingxue's feet just landed on the ground at this time. Before she turned around to ask something, Chu Yan suddenly pressed her shoulders.

Then push a little harder

It was also at this time that Shi Qingxue, who was originally confused, realized something terrible, and a very absurd thought surged into his mind.

This Chu Yan, doesn't he want to...

"What are you going to do?"

She was obviously certain of it, but for some reason, she felt inexplicably embarrassed and annoyed, even though she could normally treat such things normally.

Chu Yan did not give a direct answer to Shi Qingxue's question.

He straightened his clothes a little, and finally moved closer to Shi Qingxue's back, resting his chin on her shoulder.

"Shouldn't Marshal Shi know better than me what I want to do?"

The warm breath hit behind her ears, making Shi Qingxue, who was already hot all over, feel strange.

"Chu Yan! How dare you——"

Faced with his frivolous tone, Shi Qingxue didn't need to ask any more questions.

This thief is so shameless! Really shameless!

But Chu Yan didn't hesitate. While she was scolding him, he pressed forward.

Shi Qingxue's whole body suddenly moved. He obviously felt something and his face showed astonishment.

When Chu Yan's hands found the two poor big guys again, she completely gave up, although she had some will to resist.

Somehow, after her experience, she had clearly realized that the comfort that men brought her seemed to be very addictive.

…

It was dark at night, and from the courtyard one could vaguely see the reflection of a lonely moon in the pond next to it.

Amidst the shimmering and flickering waves, there are faintly discernible silhouettes of two beautiful snowflakes.

Suddenly, I heard a low humming sound from somewhere, startling a morning duck in the pond next to me.

…

Outside the curtains, the rain trickles, spring fades. My silk quilt cannot withstand the chill of the fifth watch.

It was not until late at night that Chu Yan finally carried the exhausted Marshal Shi back to the bedroom.

As dawn was about to break, the two were still catching up on the sound sleep they had after a night of pleasure.

Shi Qingxue said that she didn't want to get up at all. It was only later when Chu Yan came back from outside the mansion that he brought the latest information about Northern Qi.

Faced with the war, Shi Qingxue no longer had any illusions about taking a few days off, and she quickly dressed and went to the military camp.

In the military camp, Xu Liang and the generals were all very silent.

I don’t know if it was because the intelligence from Qi shocked them so much, or because of something else.

"Isn't it clear to everyone what the intelligence on Qi is?"

Amidst everyone's anticipation, Shi Qingxue finally arrived.

Seeing a group of people standing and waiting in the tent, she walked calmly to the center and slowly sat down.

"Marshal Shi, we already know about this matter."

Below, Xu Liang came out and bowed slightly.

"Do you have any ideas?"

Faced with this question, no one else spoke, but Chu Yan was the first to speak.

His eyes were filled with deep seriousness. "Marshal Shi, the time has come. I believe we can send troops."

He was the first to speak, and then Cheng Xianjun and others echoed him.

"Marshal Shi, General Chu's opinion is correct. We also think it's time to send troops!"

"Hmm..." After finally hearing this answer, Shi Qingxue nodded slightly.

"According to the latest intelligence, the Crown Prince of Qi is indeed quite capable. He has already recruited troops and is marching alongside Zhou Yan's army outside Shengjing City!"

"The southern part of Qi is now seriously short of troops. Neither Emperor Changhe nor the Crown Prince of Qi can afford to worry about this. According to Zhou Yan, they want to make peace with us."

Shi Qingxue briefly re-reported the information.

Everyone nodded again after hearing this.

Zhou Yan wanted to make peace, but given the current situation in Qi, there was no need for An Guo to pay any attention.

In a nutshell, the offensive and defensive situations are different.

Apart from anything else, Nankang City and Anguo must be captured to avenge Qi's invasion of the south this year.

Facing this war, both the Yan army and Chu Yan reached a consensus.

That means sending troops ten days later.

Soon, Shi Qingxue made detailed arrangements for the war.

Finally, she looked at everyone in the tent and asked, "Who will be the vanguard of this Northern Expedition?"

Faced with this question, Liu Chengce stood aside in silence, and Xu Liang did not speak.

Chen Yi, Cheng Xianjun and others exchanged glances, and finally looked at Chu Yan who was in the front in tacit understanding.

This position must belong to General Chu.

"Marshal Shi, let me be the vanguard." Chu Yan stood up, his eyes revealing confidence.

"At that time, with only 5,000 cavalry, I will be able to crush the Qi defenders!"

Shi Qingxue glanced at him and clenched her hands tightly under the table.

"Well, in that case, then the vanguard of this Northern Expedition..."

I don’t know if it was intentional, but there was a noticeable pause in her tone. After a long while, she looked at Xu Liang beside her.

"Let General Xu take charge!"

Chu Yan: “???”

Everyone: "ミ?Д?彡"

Damn it, General Chu is in big trouble?
