Chen Chao rubbed his head a little irritably, but said nothing.
He really understands the woman in front of him very well, and he knows that there are some things that cannot be persuaded.
"Actually, I'd rather you put me on the gambling table. After all, I'm stronger, and I should probably be older alive."
Chen Chao spoke half-jokingly, but judging from his expression, he was not joking.
Xie Nandu looked at Chen Chao and smiled: "In the eyes of most people, your life is more useful than my life, but if you are used as a bet, you are indeed more attractive."
Some girls won't tell lies most of the time.
There is no doubt that Xie Nandu is that kind of girl.
"It's just that I can't bear to part with it."
Xie Nandu looked at Chen Chao and said calmly: "In the past, I thought it would be okay for you to die. As long as things can be accomplished, your death is worth it. But then I discovered that if you really died, I would be very sad."
"Then I'll have to die by myself."
She seemed to be talking about a trivial matter, like a fallen leaf falling on the lake, but not even a ripple was made.
She is actually like this most of the time.
I can't find anything to say.
"I heard that a few days ago, that girl Zhu Xia really wanted you to eat her?"
Xie Nandu suddenly said, although she was in the Northern Territory, she didn't know everything. Since some things were not real secrets, they would be blown everywhere by the wind. It was natural for her to come to the Northern Territory.
Chen Chao didn't know what to say. He naturally knew that Xie Nandu was not joking, but being so serious made people confused.
"You know, she is just a child. She seems to have lived for a long time, but in fact she has not grown up and is still a child. So sometimes, the choices she makes..."
Chen Chao opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Xie Nandu in the middle of the sentence. The woman smiled and shook her head and said: "Chen Chao, I don't care whether she is a child or not, but you have to understand that not all men will let her be eaten willingly.
It fell."
Chen Chao was speechless because this was a fact and could not be refuted.
There is only one thing he can have a clear conscience about, that is, he told Zhu Xia from the beginning that he would not like her. There was only one person he liked from the beginning, and there will only be one person in the future.
"Zhu Xia can die for you, can't I?"
Xie Nandu looked at Chen Chao and said seriously: "Chen Chao, if one day I have to make a decision of my life and your life, please leave me alone."
Without waiting for Chen Chao to speak, Xie Nandu looked into Chen Chao's eyes and said, "Promise me."
Just as Chen Chao was about to shake his head, Xie Nandu waved his hand, indicating that he should not say anything.
Chen Chao was a little helpless. He didn't know why. It seemed that no matter how high his level was or how high his official status was, he always seemed to be at a disadvantage in front of this woman.
This feeling is strange, but Chen Chao doesn't seem to object to it.
He had a feeling that if one day there was no one left who could give him this feeling, that would be the most terrifying thing.
Xie Nandu said softly: "The next time the monsters attack the city, it may be the most difficult time. If we can survive it, maybe we can move the battlefield from the northern city to Mobei."
Chen Chao asked curiously: "If the cavalry and the army collide, is there a chance of winning?"
"I don't know. You'll have to try to find out. And don't you think it's a great thing for a horse to step on the river?"
Xie Nandu's eyes were full of energy, and his whole body was shining with a special light.
Chen Chao said helplessly: "Why do you look more male than me?"
Xie Nandu smiled and said nothing. He just came to a small courtyard and opened the door directly. Chen Chao was about to say something, but at a glance, the layout of this small courtyard here was really the same as that of the small courtyard next to the Nanhu Lake in Shendu.
The hospital is almost the same.
"After I came to the north, the General's Mansion gave me this small courtyard. The number of times I came here was limited, but I still tidied it up."
Xie Nandu's words are really not nonsense. After coming to the north, the place where she appeared, apart from the general's mansion, was Mobei.
Being able to come here is a break from my busy schedule.
Chen Chao looked around and found a stove under the eaves.
Apparently, someone has tried roasting sweet potatoes here before.
"I tried it when I was free, and it tasted...much worse than yours."
When Xie Nandu spoke, her cheeks were slightly red. A woman like her rarely did bad things, but for some reason, she couldn't do anything well in this matter.
Chen Chao sat down skillfully and started to light the fire. He raised his eyebrows and said: "A young lady from a high-ranking family like you, how can you understand these things?"
Xie Nandu sat down on the bamboo chair under the eaves and muttered: "Why are you such a high-ranking person? You can't remember your origins clearly?"
This sentence choked Chen Chao to the point of being speechless. If he really talked about his background, is there anyone in this world who can compare with him?
"Then I will be even more amazing."
Chen Chao found sweet potatoes and put them on the stove, and said with a smile: "There are two things. You will never be able to catch up with me in this life."
The first is spiritual practice, and the second is roasting sweet potatoes.
Xie Nandu ignored him, just sat under the eaves, closed his eyes and fell asleep soon after.
Chen Chao looked at her face and felt a little distressed. Although she had never appeared in the city to fight, almost all of the border army's strategies now came from her, which shows how much pressure she was under.
It was only natural that she was exhausted both physically and mentally at this moment.
Chen Chao was roasting sweet potatoes and looked at the flames in front of him. He smiled. In fact, it was not easy. What she was doing and what he was doing were all like this.
In the past, he felt that he could do these things or not, but now he said that he must do them. As for her, she never thought about anything else. She just wanted to finish those things, so she would definitely do them.
I don't know how long it took, but Xie Nandu opened his eyes.
Chen Chao is peeling sweet potatoes.
When she looked at him, he handed over a peeled sweet potato and said with a smile: "If possible, I'll bake sweet potatoes for you."
Xie Nandu took the sweet potato and took a bite. He didn't say anything, but narrowed his eyes at the sweetness.
…
…
The military report from the General's Mansion was rushed for 800 miles to the capital, and was quickly delivered to the palace. The morning court had already ended, so the express delivery was delivered to the imperial study.
After His Highness the Crown Prince read it, he breathed a sigh of relief, but did not show any joy. Although the war was temporarily over, there was no telling when it would start again. And this time, although the Great Wall of the North had been defended, there were still no casualties.
But not small either.
There is one thing that the General's Mansion made straightforward, that is, the pension for Fang Wai's monks. I hope His Highness the Prince will not be too frugal, but should be more serious, so that Fang Wai can see Daliang's sincerity.
Along with the battle report, there was actually a private message from Ning Ping, which said very different things.
Wu Xinyue has been favored more and more these days. A few days ago, she was diagnosed and diagnosed by the imperial doctor as being pregnant with a dragon seed. Therefore, His Highness the Crown Prince has great trust in her as the Crown Princess. Therefore, after reading the military newspaper, she handed over the favor easily.
Gave it to Wu Xinyue.
"Brother didn't write a letter to give instructions. I'm still not used to it."
His Highness the Crown Prince searched for it and found no letter from Chen Chao. His emotions were a bit complicated, and he couldn't tell whether he was feeling disappointed or not.
Wu Xinyue smiled and said: "Your Highness, it is natural for the Guardian to not write letters. Your Highness must also be prepared. Under such circumstances, the Guardian will not write letters again in the future."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought for a moment, and then he understood the joints inside, but he was still a little melancholy, "Does even my brother think that I should grow up?"
Wu Xinyue looked at her husband, gritted her teeth, and thought about some words, but still couldn't say them out.
The guardian envoy did this not to tell His Highness the Crown Prince that he should grow up, but in fact it was a helpless act because he himself was not sure that he would be able to return from the northern border again.
Perhaps he had already counted himself among those who died before the war was truly over.
Just thinking about this kind of thing makes me feel tragic. What makes people feel even more uncomfortable is actually the age of the guardian envoy. He is actually less than thirty years old.
Most of the time, he should be the young man who is being cared for.
But he still turned into that big tree.
His Highness the Crown Prince seemed not to know what his Crown Princess was thinking. He just turned around, stretched out his hand to touch Wu Xinyue's belly, and said softly: "When the child is born, I will ask my brother to name her."
Wu Xinyue nodded, "I think so too."
His Royal Highness the Prince smiled and said: "I just don't know what name my brother will give the little guy."
…
…
Sacred mountain, lakeside.
In fact, what Goddess and Zhu Xia do most these days is sit by the lake and chat.
The goddess really has too much to say, but there has never been anyone suitable to listen to her stories before. Now that Zhu Xia is here, it's great.
For this reason, the goddess even made a bench by the lake herself so that both of them could sit comfortably.
“There are some things that you know you can’t do well and there will be no results, but you still want to do them?”
The goddess asked for no reason.
Zhu Xia said: "That's how you like someone, especially someone who doesn't like you."
The goddess looked at Zhu Xia with some distress.
Zhu Xia shook her head, "Sister is not much better."
The goddess sighed, after all, it was still something she could never ask for, and she couldn't get what she wanted.
"But I'm a little better than my sister. I can still look at him, but my sister can't."
Zhu Xia spoke to herself, but her words were really hurtful.
The goddess knew her temper, so she was not angry. She just said: "I don't know if he will go north if he is still alive."
Zhu Xia didn't speak, she just looked at the lake quietly.
The goddess, who had been waiting for a long time but could not get an answer, said a little tiredly: "I'm waiting for your opinion."
Zhu Xia shook her head and said, "Sister, don't ask questions that you have answers to."
