C327 Arriving at the City(1)

Lan Xuehan also thought that it was Soong Xiaoyou who had been forced into a corner to speak nonsense about that day. Although there was a strange feeling in her heart at that time, she did not take it to heart.

Furthermore, the expedition was imminent and there were still many things that she needed to prepare. She really did not have the mood to waste her time with Soong Xiaoyou here. The debt between her and her was also far from these. At that time, she would naturally settle it with her piece by piece.

The night before the expedition, Emperor Wenjing specially prepared a banquet for the two of them. Looking at the two of them sitting together, a trace of inexplicable light flashed in Emperor Wenjing's eyes.

After three rounds of drinking, Emperor Wenjing's dignified voice sounded, "Tomorrow is the day of the Duke and his wife's expedition. Today's banquet is to honor the two of them. I also wish them success and to spread the prestige of our Linfeng Country!"

These words were only the encouragement of the scene. Lan Xuehan and Dongfang Jin raised their wine glasses and toasted from afar, then said in unison, "Royal Father, don't worry!"

Lan Xuehan and Dongfang Jin were the main characters in the practice banquet. Naturally, they did not come to provoke them tactfully. Even Soong Xiaoyou was much quieter, but the dark light that flashed in her eyes from time to time revealed her heart at this moment.

She originally wanted to request for an Imperial Decree to follow Dongfang Jin to the battle as the Heavenly Lady, but Yin Yue stopped her. Now, everyone in the world knew that the Heavenly Lady and King Xu being together was against the Heaven's Will. If she went with the army, it would definitely cause the morale of the army to be unstable. How could Emperor Wenjing not understand such a principle?

Hence, if she went to request for an Imperial Decree, it was nothing more than asking for humiliation!

Thinking of this, Soong Xiaoyou's hatred towards Lan Xuehan deepened a little. The way she looked at her was like a poisonous snake, carrying a deep and obscure light.

But Lan Xuehan, on the other hand, did not look in this direction at all. Instead, she enjoyed Dongfang Jin's service with a clear conscience. Her warm actions from time to time simply made everyone's eyes red.

At night, in Bamboo Garden.

Dongfang Jin hugged Lan Xuehan's waist, closed his eyes, and placed his chin on her shoulder. After a long time, Dongfang Jin's hoarse voice slowly sounded.

"I really don't want to be separated from you! Lan Xuehan, when do you think we will see each other again after this farewell?"

Lan Xuehan lightly pursed her lips. She carefully recalled the two of them since they met.

Other than when he went to treat the flood, there was no difference. But this time, it was hard to say whether they would meet again or not. Thinking of this, her heart also felt sour. It was as if she had stuffed cotton into it, depressed.

Thinking back to her past missions, she had always been free and uninhibited, and had never been tied down by anyone. But now, she had become so sentimental. It was really hard for her to get used to it for a moment!

"Dongfang Jin, I don't want to be separated from you either. But I have to go and help Yao. I promise you that if the situation there is certain, I will immediately go and find you, alright?"

Knowing that it was already not easy for her to say these words, Dongfang Jin did not insist. He just followed along and said, "Lan Xuehan, you must come and find me as soon as possible!"

His voice was muffled, like a child who was afraid of being abandoned. This kind of Dongfang Jin, how could he still be the head of the famous Four Young Masters? If others saw him, they would deeply doubt if someone had impersonated him.

However, it was precisely because of this that she found it hard to part with him, and the root of her feelings was deeply planted.

Early in the morning the next day, Dongfang Jin and Lan Xuehan brought their troops out of the city gates. When they left, the civilians saw them off on the road. The scene was full of celebration, and they were all congratulating the two of them for their victory and victory as soon as possible.

On the second floor of Drunken Fragrance Restaurant, Shangguan Lan looked at the beautiful armored figure. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and then he drank a cup of wine.

Starry Night looked at his mistress in puzzlement. "Sir, aren't you going to send Princess Xu off?"

"Send what? It's not like I can't see her anymore. This woman did not like parting and this Prime Minister also did not like it. I'll just take a look here. There's still a bunch of lousy things that I have to deal with. There's plenty of free time there!"

Her tone was harsh and full of disdain. However, the emotions in his eyes betrayed him. It was clearly that kind of reluctance and worry, but he refused to admit it.

"Master, Princess Xu went to the battlefield! The flames of war are flying there. Aren't you worried?" Starry Night also found it strange. Usually, the master saw Princess Xu's matter more important than his own life. But this time, Princess Xu's expedition, he was not worried at all.

It was really puzzling!

When Shangguan Lan heard what Starry Night said, his eyes drifted. The dark light in his eyes was obscure. The mumbling sounds in his mouth could not be seen in the cheers.

"Since I know about her death, why should I be worried?"

Starry Night did not hear him clearly. Instead, she approached and said, "Master, what did you say?"

Then he knew that Shangguan Lan suddenly knocked on him. His hand strength was not small.

"Let's go. I said that you are quite compatible with Steward Wang's daughter, Cuihua."

When Starry Night heard that, he immediately cried out with a sullen face, "Sir, don't! This subordinate is loyal to you!"

As he spoke, Shangguan Lan had already gone downstairs. He quickly chased after him, afraid that his master would be unhappy and randomly order a couple.

On this side, after exiting the city gate. Dongfang Jin looked at Lan Xuehan, his eyes overflowing with tenderness, carrying a hint of reluctance. But with thousands of words, he only said, "Take care of yourself!"

Lan Xuehan smiled and nodded. "You too!"

Dongfang Jin looked at Dongfang Lyi, who was still a little depressed, and said, "Take care of her. Just take it as Third Brother asking you to take care of her."

Dongfang Lyi pursed his lips and looked straight at the worry in Dongfang Jin's eyes. He nodded and solemnly promised, "Third Brother, don't worry. Brother will protect Third Sister-in-law with his life!"

Since it had come to this, there was no point for him to say more. Only by protecting the person Third Brother wanted to protect could he feel at ease. This could also be considered the only thing that his younger brother could do for him!

Lan Xuehan naturally understood what he meant. The touched look in her eyes could be clearly seen.

Then she smiled and said to him, "I will finish the things here as soon as possible and find you. Don't worry!"

After seeing Dongfang Jin nod his head, Lan Xuehan smiled slightly. Then, she spurred her horse and raised the whip, leaving behind a cloud of dust and sand.

Dongfang Jin looked at her back and then ordered Mo Xing and the people in the dark, "Do not care about the price. You must ensure the safety of the princess!"

Mo Xing's expression was calm and his eyes were filled with a murderous intent. "Yes, this subordinate accepts the order!"

This time, the princess went out to battle. The reason the Royal Highness sent him to the Princess's side was for her safety. Thus, they would definitely ensure the safety of the Princess at all costs!

The Zihua Country was located in the west. Although the journey was long, it was not that difficult to travel along the way. It had been half a month since the army started marching. Lan Xuehan had always been eating with the generals and travelling together with them. Along the way, they were exposed to the wind and the sun.
