The two of them did not speak and just looked at each other quietly.
Li Xinwan's eyes gradually became blurry.
His body couldn't help but lean down.
Zhangsun Qiu couldn't help but tense up.
"Cough cough ~"
Zhangsun Qiu coughed lightly, instantly jolting Li Xinwan from her previous state.
He instantly bounced off Zhangsun Qiu's body like a frightened rabbit.
His face turned red!
It was really too embarrassing!
She had actually done that kind of thing to him just now.
him...
Don't tell me you think I'm a frivolous woman?
In an instant.
Li Xinwan's heart was beating wildly, and she began to worry about her gains and losses.
At the same time, a deep sense of disappointment flashed through his heart.
"That…"
"Why are you looking for me?”
Zhangsun Qiu changed the topic awkwardly.
He had never thought that Li Xinwan would be so bold as to kiss him.
It wasn't that Zhangsun Qiu was the unperturbed Liu Xiahui, but that his feelings for Li Xinwan had not reached that stage yet.
The ancient times were different from the modern times.
If they really kissed…
Then he would have to take responsibility.
Although he had a faint impression of Li Xinwan, it was far from the point of marriage.
Moreover, her identity was extraordinary.
The two of them were still separated by Changle.
There was no doubt that Chang Le was Zhangsun Qiu's official wife.
If Li Xinwan followed Zhangsun Qiu, she could only be a concubine.
but...
Her identity meant that she couldn't be a concubine.
How could the mighty War God of the Tang Empire, the beloved daughter of Duke Wei, Li Jing, marry someone else and be his concubine?
Zhangsun Qiu understood this very well.
All this while, even though he knew that Li Xinwan had always had a good impression of him, he still kept a distance from her.
Moreover, as a salted fish, he had never thought of provoking such a beautiful woman.
He felt that having a gentle, demure, beautiful, and obedient wife was enough.
It was always troublesome to have too many women!
He wasn't a big stallion. He just wanted to be a salted fish that enjoyed life.
Let nature take its course!
Li Xinwan put away the disappointment in her heart.
"It's like this. We just received news that the Turks are in trouble at the border. His Majesty is preparing to send troops to suppress them!"”
"Turk rebellion?"
"Didn't their Khan die not long ago? Why do you still dare to cause trouble?"
Zhangsun Qiu was puzzled.
Logically speaking, the Turks had just lost their Khan and suffered a great defeat, so they should have rested for some time.
"Because the autumn harvest time is here and the Jie Li Khan was killed by the Country Protecting General. He didn't bring them any food and instead lost a lot. Otherwise, they would starve to death this winter!”
Li Xinwan explained the reason for the Turkic invasion.
The Turks would invade almost every autumn harvest.
Nomads relied on animal husbandry for a living. They could not graze in winter. If there was no food, they could hardly survive the winter.
"Oh, I see!"
"So we're going too?”
Zhangsun Qiu asked bitterly.
"His Majesty has ordered us to follow the army and follow the marshal's orders.”Li Xinwan's tone carried a hint of excitement.
That was because…
After training for so long, he finally had the chance to go to the battlefield.
October 628.
Facing the invasion of the Turkic army, Li Er decided to send 100,000 troops to attack.
Li Jing was appointed Marshal of the Army, and Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong and Hou Junji were appointed generals of the army.
Although the Turkic invasion had ended in failure, Li Er had been filled with anger.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Nation Protecting General's divine weapon had descended from the heavens, how much humiliation would he have to bear!
He had been holding back this anger for too long!
Now, he wanted to vent his anger.
In the Imperial Palace.
In the bedroom of Changle.
The two of them were snuggling together and whispering.
Tomorrow, Zhangsun Qiu would be going out with the army.
Chang Le had too much reluctance and worry in his heart.
"Brother Qiu, I'm so scared! She was so afraid that the last time would happen again.”
"Don't worry! This time, it definitely won't be like the last time, because this time, I'm not fighting alone. There are a total of 100,000 soldiers!”
"What happened last time will never happen again!”
Zhangsun Qiu caressed his hair and comforted him gently.
"Brother Qiu, you must be safe. Lizhi doesn't care about your status or reputation. As long as I can be with you, I'll be satisfied!”Chang Le said softly as he nestled in Zhangsun Qiu's arms.
His eyes slowly filled with emotions.
"Don't worry! When the army returns in triumph, I will definitely return you a lively Zhangsun Qiu!”
The two of them spoke one after another about their parting.
......
The next day.
On the Drill Ground, the 100,000 strong army had gathered.
Li Er gave an exciting speech to boost the morale of the soldiers.
What was worth mentioning was…
In the end, Li Er actually recited aloud the poem " The River Is Red " that Zhangsun Qiu had written in the military camp!
It directly pushed all the morale to the peak!
Everyone shouted in unison," Ambition to eat the meat of the Hu Krupp, laughing and drinking the blood of the Xiongnu!”
His voice shook the heavens and earth!
His aura broke through the clouds!
Finally, Li Jing gave the order, and the army left the drill ground in an orderly manner.
Countless commoners were sending them off on both sides of the road.
Among them were their fathers, sons, brothers, sisters, and so on.
Who knew how many would return from this battle?
On the high platform, Chang Le, who was standing beside Li Shiming, stared at the figure in the army with a deep sense of reluctance.
He didn't know why. As Zhangsun Qiu walked further and further away, she felt that her heart was especially heavy and uncomfortable.
This feeling was similar to that when he saw Zhangsun Qiu at the Battle of Weishui River.
"Lizhi, don't worry! This brat is so capable and has so many generals to take care of him. He will be fine.”
Li Er noticed his daughter's expression and comforted her,
He just thought that his daughter was reluctant and worried.
The further Zhangsun Qiu walked, the stronger this feeling became.
Perhaps I was too worried?
Brother Qiu is the invincible Great General of the Country. Nothing will happen to him!
Chang Le comforted himself in his heart.
Brother Qiu, you must come back safely!
