Seeing Chang Xiao's disapproving look, Chang An smiled with relief, "Silly child, since the prince has arranged for you to switch shifts with me, it's not your turn to be on duty yet. Go back and rest as soon as possible to replenish your energy so you can deal with what's coming next."
Hearing his father's words, Chang Xiao lowered his head in shame. He was only thinking about his own family and had forgotten about the greater good. In this respect, he was indeed not as good as his father.
War was imminent, and the people of the Interstellar Alliance had no way to explain their plans.
After they had slept and eaten well, they prepared to launch an attack on Jizhou.
Fortunately, Chang An had made arrangements in advance.
Looking at the densely packed people standing in the sky, Chang An frowned. Although they were wearing armor, it could only prevent them from getting hurt at most.
As for killing enemies, it had no effect whatsoever.
Shang Dayuan stood beside Chang An, looked at the people in the sky, took a deep breath, and said, "I will shoot them down, and you will help me pick up the arrows."
"Okay." Chang An knew that Shang Dayuan only had a dozen or so arrows.
Shang Dayuan selected his target and then drew his bow and shot an arrow.
The group of people they had set up were immediately targeted by the enemy. The enemy aimed their crossbows at Shang Dayuan, but Shang Dayuan just chuckled and continued to draw his bow, showing no intention of dodging.
“My bow and arrows have a special use. You can find a better archer, and that will suffice.” With that, he fell to the ground, along with the people from the Interstellar Alliance.
He still missed the leader.
The arrow he shot with his life still failed to take the enemy's head, which was truly disappointing.
The soldier quickly carried Shang Dayuan away and took him to the military medical station.
Upon hearing the news, Chang Xiao rushed over, only to be met by a messenger on the way. "Young General, Lord Shang has gone."
Chang Xiao felt as if struck by lightning; how could Shang Dayuan have just passed away like that?
He is Shang Tian's uncle.
Chang Xiao couldn't believe his words. He strode up the city wall, looked at Chang An, and whispered, "Father, Lord Shang is gone."
Chang An's body stiffened slightly for a moment. They all knew what Shang Dayuan's death meant.
He said calmly, "Keep the news under wraps for now." After a pause, he added, "And don't go too far."
Chang Xiao looked at Chang An with surprise and pain in his eyes, but Chang An had already decided to die.
In this battle, we must not retreat, even if it means death.
Chang Xiao took a deep breath, replied "Yes," and retreated to the small house on the city wall.
"Xiao'er." Hearing the voice, Chang Xiao looked up and asked Madam Chang in surprise, "Why has Mother come?"
Madam Chang chuckled, "I made a pot of chicken soup and brought it to you. You drink a bowl first, and leave the rest for your father."
Chang Xiao was also hungry, so he didn't refuse. He took the chicken soup that Madam Chang had prepared and drank it down. A warm feeling came from his stomach, and he felt comfortable all over.
He couldn't help but sigh, "My mother knows me best."
Madam Chang chuckled and patted his head, saying, "Don't you even think about who raised you?"
When you were little, you'd throw a tantrum if you didn't see chicken soup for a meal.
Chang Xiao leaned against his mother and said softly, "It's all because Mother's chicken soup is so delicious and not greasy at all."
Recalling the past, Madam Chang couldn't help but chuckle and said, "At the beginning, I didn't know how to make chicken soup either."
The soup was so thick that the oil was about the thickness of a fingernail.
You refused to drink those soups.
But you've always been weak, and I don't know what to use to nourish you, so I can only try my best to get you to drink it.
