Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1455: Chapter 1456: Great General, Your Wife...

Xiao Changyi immediately understood what Qi Gaoda meant and shouted loudly, ”Jingye City could not be conquered by the strength of one person alone, it was a collective effort. Everyone has worked hard today in attacking the city. Qi Gaoda, go tell the cooks to slaughter pigs and sheep. Tonight, we shall have a grand celebration!”

”Yes, Great General!”

Seeing there wouldn’t be any problems in his absence, Xiao Changyi turned around, planning to return to Xilin City to reassure his wife.

But just as he turned, he saw his wife standing not far away, watching him.

”Jing Er!” Xiao Changyi’s cold eyes instantly warmed, and he quickly walked toward An Jing.

Everyone: ”...” Great General, we realize now, the only one who can change your expression is your wife...

An Jing didn’t walk over; she just stood there waiting for Xiao Changyi to walk up to her, and her smile grew wider the closer Xiao Changyi got to her.

”Are you injured?” As soon as Xiao Changyi approached, An Jing asked.

Xiao Changyi shook his head, ”No.”

Seeing An Jing holding a lens tube, Xiao Changyi’s face turned stern, ”Didn’t I tell you not to use your hand?” As he spoke, he took the lens tube from her hand.

”This thing is very light.” She paused, ”Gong Juechen said my hand is recovering well and I can hold light things now as long as I don’t handle heavy objects. Don’t you trust Gong Juechen’s medical skills?”

Only then did Xiao Changyi’s expression soften, ”Ma Da Gong has been killed by me.”

An Jing nodded, her voice very light, ”I know.”

After the two of them silently gazed at each other for a while, Xiao Changyi spoke again, ”The smell of blood here is too strong. Let’s return to Xilin City and come back to celebrate in the evening.”

”Mmm.” An Jing saw that Ye Zhi and the female soldiers were all safe, so she didn’t go look for them. She just turned around and left for Xilin City with Xiao Changyi.

Xiao Changyi wanted very much to hold An Jing’s hand, but he dared not; he was afraid that if he did, it would damage his wife’s hand again. Her hand wasn’t completely healed.

The two felt connected, and An Jing could understand Xiao Changyi’s thoughts.

An Jing smiled brightly and wrapped her arm around Xiao Changyi’s, being careful not to touch her own hand, and walked with Xiao Changyi.

As soon as his arm was grasped, Xiao Changyi immediately grew tense, worried that An Jing would touch her hand. However, seeing that she only used her wrist to hold him, he secretly sighed with relief and slightly curved his lips.

Just as Xiao Changyi and An Jing were leaving Jingye City, they saw Gong Juechen running anxiously toward the city and happened to meet them.

”Zhizhi, my Zhizhi, is she alright?” Gong Juechen asked Xiao Changyi urgently.

Xiao Changyi said nothing, only slightly narrowed his eyes.

An Jing said, ”It’s alright, don’t worry.”

”How can I not worry? If I don’t see her safe with my own eyes, I’ll still worry. Never mind, I won’t talk to you anymore. I better go find my Zhizhi.” Saying this, Gong Juechen hurriedly ran past them into Jingye City.

Xiao Changyi rarely looked back at Gong Juechen.

”What’s the matter?” Seeing Xiao Changyi’s rare action, An Jing asked.

As he continued walking with An Jing back to Xilin City, Xiao Changyi said lightly, ”The battle ended so quickly, thanks to more than four hundred black-clad warriors who suddenly appeared from the mountains. They wielded longswords, each exceptionally skilled, capable of taking on a thousand by themselves. Many enemy soldiers were killed by them.”
