Chapter 472 Daddy Goes to Fight the Big Bad Guy
Three years later.
The war between Nanli and Dongling lasted for three years, with neither side gaining a decisive advantage.
Pei Yanchuan ultimately decided to lead the expedition himself, leaving all affairs of the court to Prince Jin and Jiang Wanjun.
He focused solely on defeating Yan Changfeng.
In the third month after Pei Yanchuan set out on his campaign, he captured three cities in Nanli.
"Damn it!" Helian Qi cursed angrily, "This Pei Yanchuan is a monster, how can he be so powerful?"
In terms of military prowess, Helian Qi admired Yan Changfeng throughout his life, and his words just now were an admission of Pei Yanchuan's skill.
“Your Majesty, why don’t we not send someone else to the Western Xia side? I will go and meet Pei Yanchuan myself,” Helian Qi said.
Yan Changfeng looked down at the battle report on the imperial desk, and after a long while he slowly said, "As expected of the God of War, the former King of Langya."
“Your Majesty, no matter how powerful he is, we cannot let him boost our arrogance and diminish our own prestige. Your Majesty, you are also very powerful,” Helian Qi said.
If Helian Qi said that, then he must really mean it; he wasn't just flattering him.
Yan Changfeng then raised his head and asked, "You said it yourself, that Pei Yanchuan is very powerful. Do you think you could be his match?"
Helian Qi scratched his head. "Then... what should we do? I think the only one who can rival Nan Li is Your Majesty."
"In the three years of war before this, without his involvement, we were just stuck in the same place, with one side winning today and the other tomorrow. But suddenly he went to war..."
"You have no idea, they really caught our people completely off guard."
“Then I will go and meet him myself,” Yan Changfeng said calmly.
"This is absolutely unacceptable! If Your Majesty were to personally go to the battlefield, what would become of the court?"
"I will take care of everything."
Yan Changfeng said, "Sooner or later, I will have a fierce battle with that person."
"Alright, all of you may leave now. Helian Qi, you guard the Sand Kingdom well, and there's no need for you to come here to discuss matters unless necessary."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Prepare the carriage for Chang Le Palace." Yan Changfeng stood up.
Inside Chang Le Palace.
Jiang Wan Ning was playing with her two children when, in the blink of an eye, the two children were already three years old.
I didn't realize I was carrying twins until I was five months pregnant. I noticed my belly was bigger than other women's and took my pulse to find out.
"You'er, Youyou, come over here to Mommy." Jiang Wanning smiled and waved to the two children.
"Mother!"
"Mother!"
The brother and sister both rushed towards Jiang Wan Ning with open arms.
Jiang Wanning squatted down and opened her arms to welcome him.
The three of them then rushed into each other's arms.
Jiang Wan Ning said with a smile, "You'er, you need to be careful. Don't take your sister to do bad things next time, okay?"
Just as Youyou was about to speak up in defense, Youyou smiled sweetly and said, "Mommy, don't worry, I will take good care of my brother."
"Okay," Jiang Wanning said with a smile.
"What are you doing? Why are you laughing so happily?" Yan Changfeng walked in from the doorway.
Jiang Wanning stood up, and the two children rushed to Yan Changfeng's side, "Daddy! Daddy!"
From birth, they never called their father or mother "King" or "Queen," but always called them "Daddy" and "Mommy."
Yan Changfeng bent down and smiled as she picked up the two people who rushed over, one in each arm, and hugged them. "Did you two make your mother angry again?"
"Father is biased. He only has eyes for Mother. No wonder people say we're not Father's biological children," Youyou pouted.
Yan Changfeng's expression changed, and he said softly, "If anyone says that again, tell your father, and your father will deal with it."
"Alright, they were just joking with you." Jiang Wan Ning walked over and took You'er from him. "Youyou, you're not allowed to complain to your father like this in the future."
"Mom, I understand," Youyou said, looking aggrieved.
"Alright, you guys go have fun first."
The two ran out hand in hand.
Jiang Wan Ning looked at Yan Chang Feng, "Is something the matter?"
Yan Changfeng helped Jiang Wanning walk into the house. "The pressure from Dongling is too great. I plan to personally lead the expedition."
Jiang Wanning looked up at Yan Changfeng, paused, and finally said, "Be careful in everything."
"good."
Yan Changfeng sat in Changle Palace until noon, having lunch with the two children and Jiang Wanning. "Alright, I'll be leaving now."
Jiang Wan Ning got up to see him off.
"Daddy, they said you're going out to fight the big bad guy, is that right?" Youyou asked.
Yan Changfeng rubbed Youyou's little head. "Yes, Daddy will go beat the big bad guy."
"Then Daddy, you must be careful. Youyou is waiting for you to come home, along with your brother and mother."
"good."
After Yan Changfeng left, Jiang Wanning ate some more with the two children.
“Mother, my brother says he has a question.”
Jiang Wan Ning wiped You You's mouth and said softly with a smile, "You have a question, don't you?"
Youyou's eyes darted around, and she smiled, saying, "Then can Mother answer this for Youyou?"
"That depends on what it is. You tell me first, and I'll think about whether I want to tell you or not."
Youyou thought for a moment, but still couldn't help asking, "Mother, why does Father only come to Chang Le Palace to dine with us, and never stay there?"
"Father and Mother never lived together. Everyone said that Father and Mother should live together and sleep in the same bed."
Jiang Wan Ning laughed and asked, "Who told you that?"
"Many people, and some books."
Youyou and Youyou started learning to read at the age of two, and in just one year they were able to recognize all the characters.
"If Mother doesn't want to say, then she won't. Youyou was just asking casually."
Jiang Wan Ning smiled and said, "It's not that I can't say."
"Your mother was injured when she was pregnant with you, and her body was also seriously injured when she gave birth to you, so she has been recuperating all these years."
Jiang Wan Ning secretly prepared a lot of medicine to ensure her child's health upon birth, based on her memory.
The child was fine in the end, but it caused great harm to her body.
It took three years to slowly recover a little.
In addition, although she has gradually accepted Yan Changfeng, the things he did during her pregnancy made her not want to have anything to do with him anymore.
Yan Changfeng understood this as well.
They dared not force Jiang Wanning.
“Mother, You’er also has a problem.”
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Wan Ning smiled and gently pinched You You's nose. Looking at her son, who was like a little adult, her heart softened instantly.
Why does my younger sister look like our mother, but I look like neither my mother nor my father?
"Was I picked up by you?"
Jiang Wan Ning put Youyou down and hugged You'er in her arms. "Did you hear those ministers talking about something again?"
The two siblings, Youyou and Youyou, lowered their heads and remained silent.
"You only need to remember one thing: no matter who your father is, you are all your mother's children."
"Mommy, what does that mean?" Youyou was very smart and immediately knew that Jiang Wanning's words had another meaning.
Jiang Wan Ning said, "When Mother was pregnant with you, she fell ill and lost her memory."
"I don't remember anything after I woke up."
