Yan City was located in the South China Sea and was isolated from the Central Plains. It was inconvenient to travel back and forth, so it had always been regarded as a barren land.
Although the people were uncivilized, it was an important military hub. The imperial court had set up a military envoy in Yan City here to guard against the covetous eyes of foreign countries.
It was also because of this that Jianzhou was able to receive news of the invasion of the Wokou pirates. Unfortunately, the situation in the imperial court was complicated. The monarch and the courtiers each had their own considerations. They were all indecisive and did not send troops to rescue in time.
This beautiful and quiet seaside city had suffered too much damage from the chaos of war. Now, it welcomed its savior.

Su Yang was arranged to stay at the inn where the military envoy was staying. Jing Cheng lived with him. A few days ago, he could not be seen during the day. However, before the sun set, he would rush back and hug him affectionately.
Su Yang was kissed until he could not breathe. He felt the rising coldness in his body gradually dissipating.
Yan City was near the sea. The weather was very refreshing. It was originally a pleasant climate, but Su Yang did not like it. Every night, his whole body was covered in cold sweat. A thick layer of quilt could not resist the cold.
Only by Jing Cheng's side would he feel slightly better.
Jing Cheng touched his face and asked, "Why did you lose weight again?"
Su Yang puffed up his cheeks and shook his head, "I didn't lose weight. I ate a lot of fish and became fat!"
"Little greedy cat," Jing Cheng pinched the tip of his nose and said, "Not only meat, you must eat rice and vegetables well. You are not allowed to be picky."
When he heard that he wanted to eat vegetables, Su Yang immediately put on a bitter face and did not speak. He buried his face in his chest and said coquettishly,
"Husband, when are we leaving? Yu 'er doesn't like it here."
Jing Cheng asked, "What's wrong? Who made you unhappy?"
"No," Su Yang shook his little head and said, "It's so cold every day. The wind outside is very strong. It's like winter. At night, when I cover myself with a quilt, my hands are still cold."
As if she was afraid that Jing Cheng wouldn't believe her, she used her two icy claws to touch Jing Cheng's cheeks.
His palm was delicate and smooth, like the finest silken tofu, but the temperature was frighteningly low. Jing Cheng reached out and placed his hand on the back of his cold hand. There was an unfathomable depth in his black eyes.
He pulled Su Yang's hands and stuffed them into his arms. He tried to warm up the cold hands with his body temperature, but it didn't work.
He comforted her softly, "Wait a little longer. It won't be cold soon. Just wait a little longer, okay …" It was unknown who he was trying to fool.
Su Yang only treated this as the local climate and nodded obediently. Her eyes curved as she said, "Husband, accompany Yu 'er more. Yu' er won't be afraid of the cold anymore!"
Jing Cheng looked at his pale face that was still forcing a smile, and the pain in his chest became more and more intense.
In the past, the Heartless Great Master had received his kindness and given him the precious horse Crimson Shadow and the Heavenly Mountain Lock as thanks. However, he didn't leave behind the one and only key in the world.
The Great Master's whereabouts were uncertain. Fortunately, Crimson Shadow was familiar with his past tracks. Cao Rui had already traveled day and night to search for him. He just needed to wait a few more months. Just a few more months.
Jing Cheng carefully rubbed the white silver bracelet on Su Yang's wrist. His eyes were filled with unprecedented hatred.
He had sixty years of internal energy and had also learned the Heavenly Spirit Technique. However, he couldn't do anything to this small silver bracelet. It was truly retribution!
Su Yang felt that he was acting a little strange. She asked anxiously, "Husband, are the Wokou pirates very powerful? Even husband, can't beat them? "
Jing Cheng restrained the obscurity in his eyes and lightly laughed, "Little stupid dog, what kind of person is your husband? These mere Wokou pirates aren't worthy of your husband's attention."
He pressed Su Yang against his chest and softly said, "This prince was just thinking that since it's cold these days, I'll have someone prepare some ginger tea to warm your body." He paused for a moment and then seriously said, "You must drink this."
Su Yang's face immediately fell. A divine item like ginger tea was simply a killing machine!!
But because of Jing Cheng's cold face, she had no choice but to obediently agree.

On this day, the sky was just beginning to brighten. Jing Cheng received news that the enemy had attacked. He quickly got up from the bed and moved the stove in the room to the side of the bed. He also stuffed a hand warmer into Su Yang's arms. Only then did he put on his armor and walk out.
As soon as he left, Su Yang, who should have been sleeping soundly, opened his eyes. He rolled his eyes and also got up.
Most of the people in the relay station were veterans who had been stationed here for many years. Wherever one went, one could hear them talking about the current war situation. They also talked about how Prince Rong's troops were like gods. The Wokou pirates had suffered many setbacks and victory was just around the corner.
