Shen Luoyang did not expect Shui Yichen to want to go to Dingdu City. That was the capital of the Dark North Kingdom.
Shen Luoyang did not expect Shui Yichen to want to go to Dingdu City. That was the capital of the Dark North Kingdom. Weren't they here to attack the Dark North Kingdom while they were in a civil war?
The Kingdom of Beiming still had five cities that were taken from the former Dongqing Kingdom. Since Dongqing Kingdom had become the Yuan Kingdom, they naturally had to take back their land. Originally, she could have led the troops into battle, but Shui Yichen wanted to lead the troops personally and pass through the Jin Kingdom's territory. She already felt that it was strange, and now she wanted to go to Dingdu City. Shen Luoyang could not understand.
Back at the tent, Ming Yu had already fallen asleep on the bed. She did not even notice Shen Luoyang's return.
"General, this little girl thinks too highly of herself. She thinks she's a mistress when you ask her to serve you." The two bodyguards followed Shen Luoyang in and saw Ming Yu lying on their General's bed. They could not help but mutter.
"Lower your voice, don't wake her up." Shen Luoyang looked back at the two deputies. "She's just a child. It's not a big deal."
Chen Kang and Ceng Hong thought of the fact that the General was a woman and had been unwilling to get married until now. Perhaps she saw this little girl treating her like a daughter, so they did not say anything else.
"General, you haven't eaten all day. These are the buns that were delivered this morning." Chen Kang passed the food box to Shen Luoyang.
"Ming … Xiao Yu 'er ate?" Shen Luoyang opened the food box and saw that there were two buns and a bowl of porridge. He nodded. "Alright, you may leave. Rest first. We'll rehearse tomorrow."
Ceng Hong looked at Shen Luoyang. "General, if we attack the Dark North Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom will not sit idly by."
Shen Luoyang's eyes narrowed. "We'll do whatever the Emperor wants us to do."
"Oh." The two deputies sensed that Shen Luoyang was not in a good mood. They looked at each other and left with their heads lowered.
Before today, she had always thought that when the Emperor attacked the Dark North Kingdom, he would definitely inform the Jin Kingdom first. If the two countries joined forces, they could easily swallow up a large part of the Dark North Kingdom. However, the Emperor had no intention of joining forces with the Jin Kingdom. Instead, he had betrayed the alliance. It was obvious that he intended to fight the Jin Kingdom in the future.
The Emperor... wanted more than just the Dark North Kingdom.
However, Shen Luoyang still could not understand why Shui Yichen wanted to go to the Dark North Kingdom.
Shen Luoyang rubbed the space between his eyebrows and leaned against the table tiredly.
When Ming Yu woke up, she saw Shen Luoyang sleeping with one hand on the table. He looked like he had a lot on his mind.
She rubbed her cheeks with both hands, got off the bed, and went to the opposite side of the table. She looked at Shen Luoyang with her watery eyes.
Shen Luoyang seemed to feel her gaze, and his eyelids moved a few times before he opened them.
"You're awake?" Ming Yu looked at her with a smile. "You look very tired. Do you want to sleep for a while?"
"No." Shen Luoyang rubbed his arm. "Did I sleep for a long time?"
"When did you come back? It's only noon. "Ming Yu said.
Then she didn't sleep for long. Shen Luoyang looked at Ming Yu with a smile. "The Emperor will leave the barracks tomorrow. When the time comes, I will send you away."
"Where is Shui Yichen going?" Ming Yu asked curiously.
Shen Luoyang pursed his lips and didn't answer.
Ming Yu blinked and looked at her. Shui Yichen had just arrived at Wasteland City, and it was impossible for him to return to Yuan Country at this time. He would either go to Jin Country or the Dark North Kingdom.
"He can't be thinking of going to Wasteland City, right?" Ming Yu asked tentatively.
"No, don't talk nonsense. You are a child, don't ask too much." Shen Luoyang said softly.
Ming Yu smiled. "Then he is going to Dingdu City. What is he going to do? Is he going to find Beitang Yu? Or is he going to cause trouble for Yuan Country? "
Shen Luoyang frowned. "Why do you think that the Emperor is going to Dingdu City?"
"Because my brother is also in Dingdu City." Ming Yu didn't mind telling Shen Luoyang where Ming Xi was going. "Shui Yichen looks like a very ambitious person. He must feel that the Dark North Kingdom is neither a ruler nor a vassal, so he has the best opportunity to take advantage of it."
"You make it sound like Ming Xi is going to Dingdu City to take advantage of it." Shen Luoyang laughed lightly.
Ming Yu snorted. "My brother is going to take care of Beitang Xuanyang."
"The Emperor has his reasons for going to Dark North Kingdom. You stay here, and I will find a way to send you back." Shen Luoyang said.
"I am not in a hurry to go back." Ming Yu smiled. "Why don't we go to Dingdu City too?"
Shen Luoyang's face changed slightly. "No, the Emperor … will not let me go. He has other confidants by his side."
"Aren't you the person Shui Yichen trusts the most? You followed him here from Hua Nation. " Ming Yu said. She noticed a flash of sadness and loneliness in Shen Luoyang's eyes when he mentioned Hua Nation.
"There are many people who work for the Emperor, and there are many people he trusts." Shen Luoyang said lightly.
Ming Yu asked softly, "General Shen, do you want to go back to Hua Nation?"
Shen Luoyang was stunned for a moment before saying softly, "I can't go back anymore."
"Why can't I go back? My grandfather went back," Ming Yu said. "My parents wanted to go to Hua Nation too, but something happened and they were delayed."
"Lord Ye went to Hua Nation again?" Shen Luoyang asked in surprise. "When did the Heavenly Consort want to go to Hua Nation?"
Ming Yu said, "I don't know. She and my father are in Jingdu City now."
Shen Luoyang sighed. "I do miss Hua Nation, but … I can't go back anymore."
"You miss Shui Yichen?" Ming Yu held her chin and stared at Shen Luoyang with bright eyes.
"I have been by the Emperor's side since I was very young. He was a general of Hua Nation at that time. I am who I am today because of the general. Otherwise, I would have died a long time ago," Shen Luoyang said. She only wanted to repay his kindness.
Ming Yu said, "You have fought and killed for him for so many years. Are you going to repay him for the rest of your life?"
Shen Luoyang smiled. "When I go back this time, I will resign and find a quiet place to stay. I will no longer concern myself with the affairs of the Imperial Court."
"Then come with me," Ming Yu said. "To find my mother. Let's go out to sea and play."
"That sounds good." Shen Luoyang looked at Ming Yu's innocent and bright smile, and his heart warmed bit by bit.
Ming Yu stood up and patted her chest. "Don't worry, I won't mistreat you. I promise that my mother will be very happy to see you."
"If … I can go back this time, I will resign and go out to sea with you," Shen Luoyang said with a smile.
"That's what you said." Ming Yu nodded in satisfaction. "Can I go out for a walk now?"
Shen Luoyang smiled and said, "No, you can only stay here. It's … dangerous outside."
What kind of danger could there be outside? Ming Yu really wanted to go out and take a look.
