The previous chapter is under review.
Madam Mu had a sharp tongue but a kind heart. Although she wasn't particularly gentle with Nanzhi, she was still worried that she would be tired on the journey, so she had a very spacious carriage prepared, lined with soft cotton quilts and filled with all kinds of jewelry, clothes, and dry food.
She also asked Cuixiang and Qiushuang to take care of Nanzhi along the way.
As Nan Zhi and Mu Yao left, Madam Mu's eyes silently reddened.
Afraid of being seen by others, she smiled and waved goodbye to them.
The journey is long.
Mu Yao led 100,000 troops to the battlefield in batches.
During this time, he worried countless times that Nanzhi was suffering.
Fortunately, Nam Tze lived up to expectations, remaining lively and energetic without experiencing motion sickness or illness.
The other soldiers were initially dissatisfied, fearing she would be a hindrance, but to their surprise, she didn't cause any trouble on the way.
On the contrary, she would occasionally make some refreshing tea drinks for the soldiers to drink, thus improving their meals.
She would even mend the clothes of soldiers whose clothes were torn and who didn't know how to sew. She never looked down on anyone just because she was a general's wife.
Everyone admired her greatly.
Even Yuan Heng couldn't help but say, "General, the lady's handiwork is truly excellent. Look, my sleeve is torn, and it was the lady who mended it. She even embroidered a cloud on it."
Mu Yao narrowed his eyes dangerously as he looked at the clouds on Yuan Heng's sleeve.
It doesn't seem like it's a good thing that the lady is too popular.
He was a little jealous.
With a third of the journey to the battlefield still to go, Mu Yao ordered his men to set up camp for the night, and tents were now everywhere.
Mu Yao left Yuan Heng, who was trying to stop him from drinking, and went into the main tent.
Nanzhi sat at the table with her back to him, seemingly doing nothing.
He walked over and saw her looking through a medical book, which was full of difficult and obscure text.
She had already seen half of it.
Mu Yao hugged her from behind: "Why are you looking at this?"
The battle is almost here. Inevitably, some will be wounded. I'll see if I can be of any help then.
So she forced herself to read these medical books that even he couldn't understand.
Moved, Mu Yao kissed her lips from behind.
Nanzhi wrapped her arms around his neck, responding to him with tenderness.
On the march, there was very little water to bathe in. Mu Yao could only take a bath once every three or four days, sometimes even for a week or longer.
Although Nanzhi is in a better position, wiping her body with water every day, she still cannot bathe every day.
While everyone else smells terrible in this weather, Nan Zhi always smells wonderful.
Her lips were as sweet as peaches, and so was her body.
Mu Yao was extremely fascinated.
He nibbled along her collarbone, listening to her captivating voice, and he was completely unable to control himself.
He cleared away the obstacles on the table, lifted her onto it, and pulled her hand to tug at his belt.
The moment her belt slipped to the ground, Mu Yao caught her in his arms...
As she let out a soft moan, he whispered in her ear, "You actually sewed clothes for Yuan Heng. I'm very jealous. He'll come to apologize to me later."
Wait a minute?
Wouldn't that mean we'd see and hear them...?
Nanzhi tensed up.
Mu Yao was almost forced to surrender by her "bite", but he found it amusing to see her like this.
He deliberately tormented her cruelly until her nose was red and she looked pitiful before saying, "You're not allowed to sew clothes for other men anymore, understand?"
Nanzhi looked at him with teary eyes.
Mu Yao knew she was worried about the soldiers who were barely clothed, but he also felt sorry for her being so overworked.
He pinched her waist as he said, "Tomorrow I'll have Cuixiang and Qiushuang teach them how to sew their own clothes."
After hearing this, Nanzhi opened her eyes wide and looked at him in surprise.
Mu Yao swept her long hair into his hand and kissed her slightly parted lips. "Be good, don't bite, or I'll be tortured to death by you."
Nanzhi's face turned bright red: ...(???)
Yuan Heng didn't come at all.
Mu Yao knew that Nan Zhi was shy, and he didn't want anyone to hear even a trace of her captivating voice, let alone see her most alluring appearance.
Therefore, once he entered the military camp, no one dared to approach him.
Mu Yao has incredible stamina. He's a respectable general in public, but he's into all sorts of things in private.
He would force Nanzhi to call him "husband" using lip reading, and he would scribble all over her body with a water-dipped brush, claiming it was to teach her to write.
One time, he saw her kneading dough and cooking, and that's how he learned it.
That night, he rubbed and kneaded her until she felt like she was falling apart.
And so, after traveling for nearly two months, they finally arrived at Sirius City.
Sirius City is located near the land of the barbarians, whose population has been growing rapidly in recent years. In order to seize territory, they are gradually approaching Sirius City.
When the army arrived, the war was already at a critical stage.
The barbarians are wild and unruly, and even more troublesome is that they are a people who grew up on horseback and have extremely strong combat capabilities. That is why the guards of Tianlang City were forced to the point of being almost powerless to fight back.
Mu Yao had barely arrived when he went to discuss countermeasures with the general in charge of guarding Tianlang City, without even having time to rest.
Nan Zhi wasn't idle either; she took good care of herself so that Mu Yao wouldn't have to worry.
Mu Yao was experienced in battle, and along the way he discussed plans with his soldiers.
However, they had traveled for too long and the soldiers were exhausted. The barbarians had the advantage of favorable weather and terrain, making them extremely difficult to attack. Tianlang City could only passively endure the attack.
This war is unlikely to be won.
Nan Zhi had 003 check the original plot and found that although Mu Yao won the war this time, it took four years. Of the 100,000 troops he brought, only a few thousand remained in the end.
The losses were too severe.
Mu Yao was also seriously injured in the war and did not fully recover even after a whole year of recuperation.
The tragic deaths of his soldiers caused him mental anguish, which was a major reason why he died on the battlefield at the young age of thirty.
Right now, Mu Yao is about to lead his troops into battle for the first time. The barbarians have long been prepared, and this will be Mu Yao's first defeat in his life.
This defeat led to a decline in morale within the army.
Just as Mu Yao finished making his plans and was about to set off, Nan Zhi quickly folded the letter she had written and personally delivered it to Mu Yao.
She doesn't trust anyone else.
Why are you here?
When Mu Yao saw Nan Zhi running towards him, he dismounted and strode over to her side.
Nanzhi ran over to greet him and handed him the letter in her hand.
Nanzhi had a lot to say, but writing it down in his hands would be too much work, so she could only write it down for him to see.
Mu Yao unfolded the letter.
*
Mu Yao coldly said: "From today onwards, you will all mend your own clothes. Anyone who dares to go to Madam again will never wear clothes again."
The soldiers each held an embroidery needle: ...No, General, you have a wife to sew for you, so we have to do it ourselves, right?
Mu Yao said smugly: If you're so capable, go find your wife to help you fix it yourself.
