Chapter 371 After you leave tomorrow, I won't miss you so much.

Soon, news that the Chu and Yan states had stationed troops on the Qin border spread throughout the court and even among the common people, and the news was spreading far and wide.

The territories of the states of Chu and Yan did not border the state of Qin.

The states of Qin, Chu, and Yan were each interspersed with a small state.

These two small countries are caught between two large countries, playing both sides and maintaining a delicate balance with both, aiming to offend neither.

The Qin state even bestowed many favors upon these two small states.

Unexpectedly, they granted passage to the states of Chu and Yan.

This greatly angered the people of Qin.

The King of Qin was furious in court, declaring that he would not only destroy the two small states in the middle, but also teach Chu and Yan a lesson!

Not long after.

The King of Qin then relayed the order.

Xiao Mo led the Northern Wilderness army to resist the State of Chu, while Chang An, the famous general of Qin and the Prince of Zhenxi, led his army to resist the State of Yan.

The King of Qin had originally considered sending Xiao Shi there.

However, now that the Wei Kingdom has just been established, Xiao Shi needs to exert his influence in the northern wilderness.

After all, there were still many aristocratic families in Wei who outwardly obeyed but secretly harbored wicked intentions.

Otherwise, if there were another rebellion in Wei, it would be a real problem.

When the edict from the King of Qin was issued, Qin Siyao stared at the imperial decree and fell silent for a long time.

Qin Siyao knew that her husband's departure this time would not be long, and she didn't know when he would return. Therefore, her marriage with her husband would have to be postponed again.

But Qin Siyao also knew.

This is a critical moment for the survival of the Qin state, not a time for me to act childishly.

The Qin state now needs a husband.

The night before Xiao Mo left, Qin Siyao didn't say a word, but silently packed Xiao Mo's luggage.

In fact, the military camp had everything, but Qin Siyao still felt more at ease knowing that she would pack her husband's luggage herself.

Xiao Mo felt a pang of guilt as he watched Qin Siyao fold clothes and put various household items into storage bags in the room.

"Siyao, that's enough. It's getting late. Go and get some rest."

Xiao Mo stepped forward and took Qin Siyao's small hand.

Qin Siyao shook her head: "It's okay, let me see if you need anything else, and I'll bring it all for you."

"I really have everything I need."

Xiao Mo smiled and took Qin Siyao's slender hand to sit on the edge of the bed.

Qin Siyao lowered her eyes, her expression full of reluctance. Her beautiful eyes looked as if she might cry at any moment, making people feel sorry for her.

"Siyao, I'm sorry, I have to leave again this time. It's my fault; our wedding will have to be postponed again."

Xiao Mo sighed and gently stroked his fiancée's hair.

"Xiao Mo, it's not your fault."

Qin Siyao shook her head vigorously.

"Actually, I know that many things are not smooth sailing, but as the old saying goes, good things come to those who wait. I believe that these obstacles are only temporary."

Besides, we're both cultivators with very long lifespans; what are a few short years?

"Hmm." Xiao Mo nodded. "Yes, it's only temporary. I will resolve everything as soon as possible and won't keep you waiting too long."

"I believe you." Qin Siyao smiled slightly, leaning against her beloved's chest. "I'll wait for you too."

"Alright, Xiao Mo, you should go to sleep now. We have to travel tomorrow," Qin Siyao said with concern as she got up from Xiao Mo's embrace.

“Okay, then you should go back to your room and get some rest,” Xiao Mo replied.

"Um"

Qin Siyao nodded, sat up from next to Xiao Mo, and walked towards the door.

After walking only a few steps, Qin Siyao turned around and said, "Oh, right, I put some tea leaves and some pastries in there for you."

"Okay." Xiao Mo nodded.

"Oh, by the way, I've prepared some new clothes for you. My mother and I made them for you, so don't be reluctant to wear them."

"I know."

"There are also some pills that I brought back from the palace."

Qin Siyao turned back every three steps, giving Xiao Mo instructions word by word, to which Xiao Mo simply smiled and nodded.

Finally, Qin Siyao realized she was getting a little annoyed, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said, "There's nothing more to say, I... I'm going to sleep."

"Go ahead, I've memorized everything."

Xiao Mo smiled and waved his hand.

"Oh." After giving Xiao Mo one last look, Qin Siyao left the room.

After Qin Siyao left, Xiao Mo took down the immortal weapon called "Ten Fierce Spears".

The Ten Fierce Spears were the divine weapons that Huang Shan gave to Xiao Mo before he left.

Xiao Mo's cultivation level had never reached the Nascent Soul stage, so it was useless.

Now, Xiao Mo can also activate it.

Xiao Mo sat cross-legged on the bed, then placed the Ten Fiend Spears on his lap and nurtured them with his spiritual power for an hour before putting them away.

After blowing out the candles, Xiao Mo lay down on the bed to rest.

Soon, Xiao Mo fell asleep.

I don't know how much time passed.

Xiao Mo felt his door open, and a breeze blew in, bringing with it his most familiar scent.

"Siyao, what are you doing so late?"

Xiao Mo knew that Si Yao had come in, but he didn't wake up and continued to pretend to be asleep.

Qin Siyao gently closed the door and then tiptoed to Xiao Mo's bedside.

Xiao Mo had thought that Si Yao would do something to him.

But Qin Siyao did nothing; she just blinked at Xiao Mo.

After an incense stick had burned, Xiao Mo, driven by curiosity, slowly opened his eyes.

"Ah!" Upon seeing Xiao Mo wake up, Qin Siyao trembled in fright. "Xiao Mo...you...how did you wake up?"

"I've been awake for a while now. By the way, it's so late, Siyao, why aren't you asleep yet?" Xiao Mo sat up and asked with a smile, "And why have you been staring at me like that?"

I can't sleep.

Qin Siyao rubbed her small hands together and slowly spoke.

"The thought of you leaving tomorrow, even before you've left, already makes me miss you, so..."

So I want to see you more tonight.

Maybe that way, after you leave tomorrow, I won't miss you so much.

Hearing Qin Siyao's words, Xiao Mo's lips twitched slightly, a bitter feeling welling up inside him, but he didn't know how to express it.

"Alright, Xiao Mo, you go to sleep, I'll just watch over things, you don't need to worry about me."

Qin Siyao pressed Xiao Mo's shoulders and laid him down on the bed.

Lying back on the bed, Xiao Mo smiled at the girl: "How much longer are you going to watch?"

"I don't know either."

The evening breeze blew into the room through the window, and the thin nightgown clung to the woman's graceful and soft figure. She puffed out her cheeks, and her eyes, beneath her long eyelashes, shone with the bright moonlight.

"Even though I've been with you every day for the past year, seeing you every day, I still can't get enough of you."

After a long while, Qin Siyao raised her head and looked into Xiao Mo's eyes.

"Xiao Mo, why can't I get tired of looking at you?"

Can you

"Can I watch this for a lifetime?"
