Chapter 1375: Chapter 1376: Deploying with the Army?

Seeing that Su Chengyuan had already returned and was training with Li Wuyu and the others, An Jing walked over, called Su Chengyuan to the side, and asked, ”Why didn’t you stay in the palace for a few more days?”

Su Chengyuan initially had no expression, but upon hearing An Jing’s words, her face was filled with hatred. She gritted her teeth and said, ”I want to train, I want to go to war with the army, I want to avenge my father, I want to restore my country’s honor.”

If she doesn’t avenge her father, she is unworthy to be his daughter!

If she doesn’t restore the nation’s honor, she is unworthy to be the Princess of Xiyun!

An Jing had always known that even though Su Haoyu didn’t favor Su Chengyuan much, Su Chengyuan deeply respected Su Haoyu, and even hoped that Su Haoyu would pay more attention to her as his daughter.

Now, with Su Haoyu dead, it was utterly devastating for Su Chengyuan.

”Then go train.” An Jing didn’t say much more. Her daughter-in-law wanted to avenge Su Haoyu, let alone Su Chengyuan, his own daughter.

”Yes, instructor!” Su Chengyuan immediately turned around and went back to training.

But before long, Ye Zhi led the female soldiers towards An Jing. An Jing didn’t rush to ask why, just waiting for them to come over and stop in front of her.

As soon as Ye Zhi reached An Jing, she said, ”They all say they want to go to war with the army; what do you think...?”

An Jing didn’t speak, just looked at the line of female soldiers standing before her.

Du Aya, being impulsive, grew anxious seeing An Jing silent and said, ”Instructor, we are citizens of Xiyun, more than that, we are soldiers of Xiyun. To restore Xiyun’s honor is our unshirkable responsibility!”

Tobanya, rarely so hasty, also blurted, ”If we don’t flatten Chilin, the anger in our hearts will be hard to quell. We hope you’ll allow us to contribute our meager strength!”

Li Wuyu also said, ”Instructor, didn’t we join the army to one day take to the battlefield to fight and defend our country? Now that the war is upon us, please let us go to war with the army!”

”Yes, instructor, let us go to war with the army!” the other female soldiers echoed eagerly.

Only Su Chengyuan didn’t join in, but in her heart, she was already resolved: even if she wasn’t allowed to go with the army, she would secretly follow.

An Jing could see what Su Chengyuan was planning. Earlier, when Su Chengyuan said she wanted to avenge Su Haoyu and restore the nation’s honor, she could tell Su Chengyuan had decided on this course of action.

Sighing inwardly, An Jing finally spoke, ”Going to war with the army is no small matter; it’s not something I can decide. Plus, you’re the first batch of female soldiers; I need to consult the Emperor. Whether you can truly go with the army depends on what the Emperor decides.”

Since An Jing said she would consult the Emperor, the female soldiers said no more and returned to the training ground.

Ye Zhi didn’t return but stood beside An Jing, speaking softly, ”Boss, I have something to ask you.”

”What is it?”

”Well...” Ye Zhi hesitated for a moment before speaking again, ”Gong Juechen said his father died, and you said he might not be feeling well. Who is his father? Did he die long ago, or was it recent?”

Without waiting for An Jing to speak, Ye Zhi continued, ”He’s been looking like a dead man all the time recently. If I didn’t feed him regularly, he might have starved or died of thirst by now.”

An Jing was silent for quite a while but eventually decided to tell the truth quietly, ”His father is my adoptive father.”

”What?!” Ye Zhi found it the most impossible thing for Gong Juechen to be part of the Royal Family, yet she didn’t expect it to be true, leaving Ye Zhi especially shocked and incredulous.
