Chapter 27 How many men have ever returned from the battles in history?
After eating, Jing Yu couldn't wait to look at Chu Mo.
The latter chuckled, held her in his arms, and walked out of the military camp.
All the soldiers he met along the way saluted him, and Chu Mo kept smiling, feeling particularly good.
A young girl came towards them and bowed to Chu Mo: "General."
Jing Yu looked and recognized the person as Li Qing, the daughter of the governor of Yunan City.
Chu Mo smiled and said, "I hope Miss Li has fun."
Li Qing has the appearance of a beautiful girl next door, with a gentle and elegant temperament. It is quite pleasing to the eye when standing next to the gentle Chu Mo.
Jing Yu suppressed the inexplicable emotions that surged up in her, glanced at Li Qing's bun, and felt a little confused.
Chu Mo glanced at the kitten, didn't say much to Li Qing, said goodbye politely and left.
After leaving the military camp, Chu Mo took her up the mountain.
He moved quickly and the distance was not far, so he soon arrived at his destination.
Chu Mo coaxed the cold-fearing Jing Xuan out of his arms, and then wrapped her into a small ball with the clothes he picked up. He looked at the furry head sticking out of the ball and chuckled, "Are you still cold?"
Chu Mo wrapped her tightly and held her in his arms to comfort her, so she didn't feel cold at all.
"The weather is cold, and I wanted to give up, but I thought you would like it, so I had no choice but to do this."
Jing Yu tilted her head: "Meow?"
Chu Mo raised his head and motioned for her: "Look."
Jing Xuan raised her little head, and the next moment, her amber cat pupils were filled with a starry sky. The stars were jumping in her eyes, reflecting the most beautiful scene in the world.
The stars are twinkling, casting points of light on the night sky. The stars are shining and the moon is bright, illuminating the dark night.
——Tonight is the best night without anyone to share with me, I can just lie down and watch the starry sky with all my heart.
People will always use beautiful words to describe such a beautiful scenery, but even so, the shining stars are still far better than words.
No one would not like stars, Jing Xuan thought.
“Does it look good?”
A deep and magnetic voice came, and Jing Yu responded subconsciously: "Meow~"
[It looks good. I like it very much.] 】
Chu Mo smiled: "There's more."
Jing Yu, who was wrapped into a small ball, turned sideways with difficulty and stared at Chu Mo curiously.
Soon, a low laugh escaped from Chu Mo's lips: "Here it comes."
The next moment——
"call out--"
“Bang!!”
The loud roar made Jing Xuan turn her head immediately, and saw colorful fireworks rising into the sky, blooming brightly in the night sky. The silent night sky changed color in an instant, and for a moment even the stars had to hide their edge.
In an instant, Jing Xuan felt that everything in front of her slowed down. The magnificent fireworks, the colorful night sky, and the fireworks shooting into the sky all made her feel very happy. It seemed that even the temperature had warmed up. Everything was her favorite.
The fireworks were still blooming and the loud sound of firecrackers continued, but she could accurately capture Chu Mo's voice.
"It seems like you like it." He seemed to be relieved and smiled again: "As long as you like it."
The tone was still as gentle as usual, but perhaps because the atmosphere was too warm or the fireworks were too bright, Jing Xuan felt that her heart was beating strangely faster.
This was not the first time that the little princess was worried that she might be sick.
But she also felt that this was not a disease. Disease is painful and unbearable, but she felt very good, better than ever before, so good that she liked this feeling.
Jing Xuan thought about too many and too complicated things in an instant, and Chu Mo didn't even catch the specific content before he fell silent.
He didn't think much about it and watched the fireworks with the kitten.
He had thought about it before. The little princess might not like the bonfire party, but she would probably like the stars and fireworks. After all, little girls like beautiful things.
After thinking it over, he began to prepare.
Now it seems that the effect is very good and the little princess won’t feel bored anymore.
Thinking of this, Chu Mo felt somewhat happy and took a few sips of wine.
After the fireworks were over, Jing Yu looked at Chu Mo and was slightly stunned.
Chu Mo was not drunk, but a little tipsy. His thin lips were moist and bright red, which looked quite nice. Jing Yu couldn't help but stare at him for a long time.
"That Miss Li." Chu Mo paused, as if hesitating whether to say it or not. Meeting Jing Yu's puzzled gaze, he made a decision.
His voice was steady and sad: "Two months before the wedding, I lost my fiancé."
Jing Xuan's eyes suddenly widened.
"My fiancé is He Yan, a general under my command. He was killed while exterminating the remnants of the Nanzhao royal family and died of his injuries." Chu Mo raised his head and looked at the starry sky. After a moment of silence, he said, "Before He Yan died, someone brought back a message."
Jing Xuan's eyes turned slightly red, and she guessed what it was.
"He told Miss Li not to wait for him anymore because he couldn't go back this time and couldn't be her groom. But..."
Chu Mo didn't say anything else, but Jing Yu knew what he wanted to say.
——However, Miss Li had already tied her hair into a bun before she got married, and despite everyone's dissuasion, she resolutely moved into He Yan's courtyard.
Everyone knew that she and He Yan were not married, but only Li Qing knew that she was only He Yan's person in this life and she was already his wife.
"Little guy, war is cruel. No one can guarantee that they will survive...including me." Chu Mo's slender fingers pulled the clothes wrapped around Jing Xuan. His voice was very soft, and it sounded even more sad in the silent night.
"The grassland is in turmoil, and a war is imminent." Chu Mo lowered his eyes to meet those amber eyes, his lips slightly raised, but there was no smile at all: "After a while, the border will be in chaos, and I will send you away by then."
Jing Yu was stunned.
"The border is too dangerous. Your promise not to leave is... no longer valid."
"No one can predict what the future will be like. If one day you hear bad news about me, I hope you can still be happy and at ease every day, without sadness and tears." Chu Mo raised his head and said slowly: "You, you can't be as obsessed as Miss Li, and never be able to move forward."
"I hope that if that day really comes, my mother can cultivate herself in the Taoist temple like she does now; Your Majesty can ask the historian to write a few words about me, so that my reputation will last forever; Your Highness the Crown Prince can help me take good care of my mother and remember to bring me more wine; as for Tuoba Xun, please scold him less, because I can't say anything back, and he will think I'm a coward, and that would be so unfair to me; as for you..."
He lowered his eyes and met a pair of red cat-like pupils. He smiled gently, and the stars seemed to fall into his eyes, causing ripples: "Just be like before, carefree, happy and free, okay?"
--OK? Little princess.
Jing Xuan's eyes became redder and the hair around her eyes became moist.
She didn't know what to say, nor where to start, but... she was so sad and heartbroken. Whenever she thought about Chu Mo getting into trouble, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
“Meow!”
【not good! 】
[You can’t get into trouble. Absolutely not. If you get into trouble, I will, I will…]
Chu Mo was silent, and his slender fingers gently touched the furry kitten's face.
Jing Xuan didn't know how to threaten him, so she could only tilt her head and rub his fingers gently and softly.
“Meow meow meow…”
[You can’t get into trouble, okay?] 】
Chu Mo felt a little itchy from being rubbed, so he closed his fingertips and saw the kitten chasing and rubbing against him again. Its whiskers were shaking slightly, and its amber eyes were narrowed into a small slit.
The look was somewhat adorable. Chu Mo resisted the itch and was reluctant to move away: "Don't worry, I will protect myself."
Jing Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and snuggled into his arms.
The sadness he had just felt was swept away. He held the kitten in one hand and the bottle of wine in the other, then tilted his head back and drank big gulps of wine happily.
The moonlight poured down, outlining Chu Mo's smooth and clear jawline, and a stain of water overflowing from his lips. His Adam's apple rolled up and down, causing the stain of water to slightly change its trajectory, and finally disappeared under his beautifully shaped collarbone, which was so sexy that it made people's legs go weak.
The handsome young man laughed softly, his voice was low and he was a little drunk, he murmured softly: "Fine grape wine in a luminous cup, the pipa music is urging me to drink..."
Jing Xuan raised her head with difficulty to look at him from within her clothes. Her amber eyes reflected the young man with a slightly raised mouth, drinking wine happily and unrestrainedly under the moon.
The evening breeze blew, blowing the trees and flowers around, but it could not blow away his heroic, resolute, yet sad words:
"Don't laugh at me for sleeping drunk on the battlefield. How many men have ever returned from a battle in history?"
Jing Xuan's cat-like pupils suddenly widened. At this moment, the stars lost their color, the flowers and plants disappeared, and her heart and eyes were filled with Chu Mo.
This general, who is not even 23 years old, has already made the enemy tremble in fear.
This young man who was flamboyant and unbridled had to restrain his arrogance and look ahead and behind for the sake of his country.
This man made her heart beat wildly as if she was sick.
[Chu Mo, I like you so much, I like you as much as I like eating fish~]
Chu Mo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
As expected, she was still a little girl, and he almost misunderstood her.
but……
