Chapter 379: Requesting the Commander's Order (2)

It's changed again! It's changed again!

It was clearly still a few years away, yet he had already qualified. Xie Jingxing was heading out at this time, could it be that the same ending as in his previous life would follow?

Shen Miao had originally intended to keep the Xie family, hoping to unite them in the future to fight against the imperial power. However, no matter how she tried to change things, would the fate of some people still follow the old path? Was the rebellious young man in front of her, with his rosy lips and white teeth, beautiful features and charming eyes, finally going to take the worst possible step?

Xie Jingxing noticed that Shen Miao's expression was different, and he felt strange. His eyes flickered slightly and he said, "You seem very worried?"

Shen Miao had no intention of analyzing the teasing behind these slightly teasing words. Her mind was somewhat confused as she looked at him and said, “You…are leading the Xie Family Army?”

"Pay more attention to the Xie family army, and pay more attention to those around you," Shen Miao began, her words slow and dry at first, but her expression gradually grew serious. "The northern border is windy and sandy, and the soldiers' armor is thick. No matter what, do not remove the breastplate." In his previous life, Xie Jingxing was pierced by thousands of arrows; perhaps wearing a breastplate would have made things better. More importantly, Shen Miao felt that Xie Jingxing's death was too strange. How could a major general with such outstanding tactics and fighting spirit suffer such a tragic defeat? Later, she gradually understood the situation. She knew that the royal family had always cracked down on the aristocratic families, so there might not be no royal family members in the Xie family army. And the tragedy of the Xie family father and son might not be without conspiracy.

Shen Miao was only thinking about the overall situation, but she didn't realize that with her current relationship with Xie Jingxing, they weren't even close friends yet. Therefore, these words filled with concern seemed a bit subtle.

Xie Jingxing was also surprised by her, and suddenly raised his lips to smile, approaching Shen Miao and slightly bowing his head. He was so close to Shen Miao, but his peach blossom eyes were full of smiles, and he teased: "Why do you care about me so much?"

Shen Miao was so lost in her own thoughts that she didn't notice he was so close. Suddenly startled, she hadn't recovered from her own conjecture and was a little dazed for a moment. Her eyes were clear, and whenever she was dazed, she looked like a child, making people feel pity.

Xie Jingxing paused slightly, feeling helpless. He was already ruthless, and to the Shen family, he was nothing more than a pawn in the chess game. He knew that Shen Miao was a deep-minded woman with mysterious means, and was definitely not the harmless girl she appeared to be. But sometimes, he felt that she was just a little girl who knew nothing. Bullying a little girl always felt a little embarrassing.

This embarrassment was quickly forgotten by him. Xie Jingxing stepped back a little and said, "The Shen family army is too powerful. This is not a good thing."

Shen Miao replied, "It was my mother who entered the palace today. It was Consort Xu and Consort Dong who summoned her." When she mentioned Consort Xu and Consort Dong, her expression was not respectful, as if she were talking about two ordinary people. Xie Jingxing was also used to it.

He said, "Back off."

“Retreat?” Shen Miao asked.

Xie Jingxing stopped talking. He finally gave Shen Miao a hint. If Shen Miao was smart, she would understand what he meant.

Shen Miao lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and said, “Thank you.”

Xie Jingxing waved his hands lazily, not knowing what he was thinking. Shen Miao asked again, "Please give the order... When will we set off?"

"Ten days later."

“So fast?” Shen Miao exclaimed.

"What?" Xie Jingxing turned his head to look at her, and said with a smile: "Can't bear to leave?"

“No…” Shen Miao said expressionlessly, “In that case… I wish the young marquis a successful start and a triumphant return.”

"When I get a reward later," Xie Jingxing said nonchalantly, "I'll give you a little toy as a prize."
