Ying Xixi didn't think much about it at first, but she suddenly felt that the soles of her feet under the quilt seemed to have been rubbed with something oily.
"I'm not hungry, and I'm not very sleepy now. Ah Yun, did I rub my feet against something?"
As she spoke, Ying Xixi stretched her feet out from under the quilt.
Under the candlelight, her feet were white and tender, the soles of her feet were oily and smelled of medicine.
Ying Xixi suddenly realized.
"I applied some medicated oil. What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Or are your feet hurting?"
Xiao Xieyun frowned and pretended to reach out to hold Ying Xixi's feet to take a look.
Ying Xixi retracted her foot, and Xiao Xieyun's grip was empty.
"Ayun, is it because of me that you changed your mind about not following the commander?"
Ying Xixi had a complicated expression and felt depressed.
Xiao Xieyun rubbed her hair with his big hand, "Don't think too much, there are other reasons."
"What are the other reasons?"
Ying Xixi looked at Xiao Xieyun with red eyes.
Xiao Xieyun: “….”
"You can't make it up, it's because of me that you changed your mind.
Ayun, you are the emperor, why did you change your mind because of me?
Am I really worth changing your mind?
I can walk. I'm not as delicate as Ayun."
Tears welled up in Ying Xixi's eyes, and her words became somewhat incoherent.
Xiao Xieyun sighed and hugged her tightly in his arms.
"Xixi, to me, both the country and you are important.
You're worth any change of mind I might have.
Rather than asking you to be sensible and hardworking, I hope you can be a little more pampered.
My woman, Xiao Xieyun, should be pampered and well cared for.
But you said you also wanted to go into battle and kill the enemy, you wanted to avenge your father-in-law.
So I brought you out.
I should bring you back the same way I brought you out.
To the best of my ability, I will take good care of you and will not let you suffer any grievances.
As for the reason why I changed my mind, it was indeed partly because I was worried that you would suffer on the road.
But I have also thought about it carefully. It is actually the same whether we wait here for the brave general to arrive or travel with the commanders.
The soldiers under the commander will only think that they are troops arranged in advance by the emperor. Even if there are spies among them, they will not suspect anything else.
When I replace the brave general and bring the troops and command them to reunite, no one will be able to see the problem.
So Xixi, don't blame yourself."
Ying Xixi buried her head in Xiao Xieyun's arms and sniffed, her voice muffled.
"Ayun, you are so nice."
Xiao Xieyun curled his lips, "It's good that you know I'm fine. This way I don't have to worry about whether you will run away secretly one day."
Ying Xixi: “….”
"Why are you still worried that I'll run away? I already said I'll stay by your side."
Ying Xixi muttered and rubbed Xiao Xieyun's solid chest.
Xiao Xieyun didn't say anything, but the paranoia in his phoenix eyes became more and more intense.
The two stayed at the post station for a day, until the evening, when Xiao Xieyun received news from the secret guard that the brave general was about to arrive at the post station.
Xiao Xieyun put on the human skin mask of the brave general and wrapped a black scarf around his face.
"Xixi, just stay here. I'll be back soon."
Xiao Xieyun gave Ying Xixi some instructions and then strode away.
Ying Xixi was a little worried, so she asked the system to broadcast the situation on Xiao Xieyun's side to her in real time.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly according to plan.
Xiao Xieyun suddenly became a brave general, and Ying Xixi became his little guard.
The real brave general also put on a human skin mask and blended in with the soldiers.
Xiao Xieyun and Ying Xixi rode on the same horse and led their troops on the road for three days, finally catching up with the commander and his troops who had set out earlier.
The two teams finally reunited.
They traveled day and night, rushing as fast as they could, and finally reached the border after eight days.
It was night when they reached the border.
Xiao Xieyun asked the people in the border military camp to settle the soldiers he brought, and immediately asked the deputy general, captain and others to come into the house to report the situation.
In the room, Ying Xixi, as a guard, should be standing by and waiting.
But Xiao Xieyun directly asked her to sit next to him.
The others looked at each other in confusion, and Ying Xixi lowered her head, feeling very uncomfortable.
"Tell me, what's the situation at the border now?"
Xiao Xieyun tapped the table with his fingertips, coldly breaking the strange atmosphere in the room.
"General, a few days ago, we had a small battle with the soldiers stationed on the border of Linyue Kingdom and won a narrow victory.
I realized that the troops were insufficient, so I wrote a letter and sent it to the capital.
Now that the general has brought 5,000 troops, we will surely defeat the Linyue Kingdom!"
The deputy general spoke first, full of confidence.
"Who are the people guarding the border of Linyue Country now?"
Xiao Xieyun continued to ask.
"It was Li Mingce, the great general of Linyue State. He was the one who personally killed General Ying with a single arrow on the battlefield!"
Having said that, the deputy general gritted his teeth, his eyes full of hatred.
Ying Xixi also clenched her teeth.
Under the table, she felt a large, cool hand holding her hand soothingly.
Xiao Xieyun's big hands were obviously cold, but they could warm her heart.
Ying Xixi returned the favor and held Xiao Xieyun's big hand.
The deputy general continued, "Li Mingce is now stationed at the border to oppose us.
This son of a bitch is so arrogant. When there is no war, he sends people to the border between the two countries every day to demonstrate against us and provoke us!
