Chapter 101 Military Camp



"That means the bride and groom don't like each other, but we are different. We like each other. If it weren't for that bastard Xi Zhou, we would have finished our wedding night by now, instead of just lying down on the bed and getting ready for sleep."

When Rong Chengxuan said the last few sentences, it was obvious that he was very angry. If it weren't for his good teeth, his teeth would have been broken by him by now, right?

Yun Wanwan felt like she could still find another excuse to defend herself. "Well, I'm only a teenager. Rong Chengxuan, please don't be such a beast, even attacking a minor. I'm telling you, Rong Chengxuan, this age isn't suitable for consummating marriage. A woman's body hasn't even fully developed yet."

"You told me you're underage? I'm asking you, are you of age?"

Yun Wanwan sucked in a breath of cold air. According to modern thinking, one would become an adult at the age of eighteen, but according to Rong Chengxuan's ancient thinking, fifteen was already an adult.

Yun Wanwan nodded, thinking that it would be impossible to explain to Rong Chengxuan the question of what age one should be considered an adult. She was afraid that Rong Chengxuan might find out something about her and see through her, which would not be worth the loss. So she followed Rong Chengxuan's calculations and admitted that she had reached the age of marriage.

"That's right. It's already too late for you to get married now. There are people who get married at the age of fifteen and become mothers at the age of sixteen. Why haven't they grown up yet?"

Rong Chengxuan was still confused by Yun Wanwan's words. He couldn't figure out how it was possible for her body to not fully develop. "I've heard you say something similar before, saying you don't want to marry me because you're not yet of marriageable age. But isn't that the case for everyone in the world?"

Seeing Rong Chengxuan bring up eight hundred years of history, Yun Wanwan had one more thing to explain, so she explained it to him. But Yun Wanwan knew it was hard to explain this to the ancients. However, she was mature, and having recently started practicing martial arts with Akui, she was definitely much stronger than those delicate young ladies who stayed home all day.

Even in modern times, there are many young girls who have been deceived by scumbag men and become pregnant and give birth to children at the age of sixteen or seventeen. These things have always been common.

But Yun Wanwan was worried that if she really got pregnant, her body would stop growing completely, and her height would definitely not increase anymore.

But if we exclude the height issue, she knows everything else, so consummating the marriage won't be a problem.

Thinking of this, she didn't dwell on it too much, but the modern thinking was still at work, so she quickly pulled Rong Chengxuan's hair, and only felt a little better when she saw him grinning at her.

Rong Chengxuan was not annoyed by being treated like this. He just pressed Yun Wanwan into his arms again and told her to stay in bed and not to do anything else until she fell asleep.

At first, Yun Wanwan felt that she didn't feel like sleeping, but as soon as Rong Chengxuan held her in his arms and she lay on top of him, she felt sleepy. Before Rong Chengxuan could say anything, Yun Wanwan fell asleep.

When Rong Chengxuan lowered his head, he saw Yun Wanwan's sleeping face. He just squeezed the quilt towards her and then closed his eyes.

When Qingyao came to wake them up at the time Rong Chengxuan had instructed, Rong Chengxuan was a light sleeper and woke up when Qingyao entered the room, but Yun Wanwan was already fast asleep.

Rong Chengxuan was a little reluctant to wake up Yun Wanwan, but when he thought that if Yun Wanwan slept too much now, she would not be able to sleep at night, he hardened his heart and called Yun Wanwan out of the quilt.

Yun Wanwan felt that she had slept more comfortably than ever before. The last time she slept so comfortably, she was sleeping in Rong Chengxuan's arms. She didn't know if there was some magical power in Rong Chengxuan's arms.

After Rong Chengxuan woke up, Yun Wanwan had asked the housekeeper to start packing the things Rong Chengxuan would need for the expedition as early as after he entered the palace. By the time Rong Chengxuan woke up, the things had been almost packed.

All Rong Chengxuan had to do was to give new instructions to the secret guards who were to stay in the capital. Some of the secret guards were stationed at Prince An's Mansion, and the other five were assigned to the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion. Rong Chengxuan still did not let go of the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion completely, and always thought that if there was another chance, he must go to the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion again to pry something out of the Marquis of Zhenbei's mouth.

He then sent a few secret guards to watch over Jiang Wanwan who was still in the palace. One was to prevent Jiang Wanwan from committing suicide, and the other was to prevent Jiang Wanwan's accomplices from kidnapping her during the months that Rong Chengxuan was away from the capital.

The next day, Rong Chengxuan returned to the camp outside the capital and counted how many troops he could lead to the expedition. A total of 300,000 troops could follow Rong Chengxuan, and the remaining 200,000 troops were left behind by Rong Chengxuan to continue garrisoning in the capital.

Rong Chengxuan was afraid that during the time he was away, someone would be eyeing the capital. The soldiers in the camp outside the capital were brought up by him and were absolutely loyal to Rong Chengxuan. Rong Chengxuan also left Ye Lan in the capital. Even if something happened, Ye Lan would be there to hold on until Rong Chengxuan returned.

When Rong Chengxuan said that he would lead the Jingwai Camp to the battlefield, all the soldiers in the Jingwai Camp were in an extremely excited state. Since Rong Chengxuan drew the new blueprints and they got the new weapons, they had not been to the battlefield.

They finally had the chance to go to the battlefield with their new weapons and fight the enemy. The improvement in armament made them eager to go to the battlefield and have a good fight with the enemy.

When they heard that the war had broken out on the border and that Prince An was about to take them to the border to fight, the soldiers were all overjoyed, as if Rong Chengxuan was taking them not to fight but to a grand banquet.

But this is also true. For them, going to the battlefield is like attending a grand banquet, but this is a banquet that belongs only to them, and it is also an honor that belongs only to them.

They can't wait to achieve some results on the battlefield so that their families can have something to brag about them in the future. They just shake their heads every time they are mentioned.

Rong Chengxuan was very pleased with the soldiers' sentiment. Confidence was the key to victory in a battle. It had been said since ancient times that a weak army would inevitably be defeated. Only by building sufficient confidence could one face the enemy in the best mental state. If one lacked confidence in oneself, then one would be defeated before even entering the battlefield.
