Ji Luo found it funny. “You guys go first. I’ll be right there.”

“Alright then.”

Watching the two of them leave the tent, Ji Luo sighed. Actually, if someone could consume the spiritual liquid within six hours of the poison puppet entering his body, he could be saved.

However, the dead could not be revived. Why should she add to her troubles? Moreover, Jiajia was pregnant now and could not take out the spiritual liquid at all.

The test of the landmine was very successful. Its power was not inferior to black gunpowder at all, but it was better at catching the enemy off guard than black gunpowder. This gave the soldiers a lot of confidence in the upcoming battle against Wu. historical

Song Jingchen immediately got someone to take out half of the black gunpowder and turn it into landmines.

In order to boost morale, he got someone to transport a lot of meat from the nearby city that day and held a night banquet on the training grounds.

Naturally, Song Jingchen didn’t forget to send a portion to the Xuanyuan army stationed in the valley.

At night, bonfires were set up on the training grounds. The entire military camp was as bright as day, and the soldiers were divided into teams to roast meat around the bonfires.

“Hubby, it’s not good to drink on an empty stomach. This is delicious. Try it.”

Shen Yiiia cut off a Diece of roasted meat with her dagger and brought it to

Song Jingchen’s mouth.

Song Jingchen rubbed her head. “I’m not eating. You eat..”

Before he could finish, Shen Yijia stuffed the meat into his mouth and puffed up her cheeks. “You haven’t eaten properly for the past few days. After today, there will be a long war. Are you prepared to continue starving like this?” Song Jingchen opened his mouth.

“I know you don’t feel good, but didn’t you hear what Mother said today? You didn’t order those people to be killed. When the black-robed man entered the city and we arrived, those people were already dead.” Shen Yijia didn’t want to mention this, but she couldn’t bear to see Song Jingchen continue blaming himself.

If anything happened to him on the battlefield because he wasn’t paying attention, she would really have nowhere to cry. Song Jingchen’s throat moved and he replied softly, “Yes.”

Shen Yijia sighed and focused on feeding him.

After being stuffed a few times, Song Jingchen saw that she couldn’t even care less about eating. He took the dagger from her hand helplessly. “You eat too.”

Shen Yijia obediently opened her mouth and accepted his feeding. She said in a muffled voice, “You eat it.”

The couple took one bite after another. The surrounding soldiers, who were originally eating meat happily, felt sour bubbles in their hearts.

They missed their wives too!

Sitting opposite Song Jingchen and Shen Yijia was a handsome middle-aged man with resolute facial features. He teased, “The Duke and Duchess are really close.”

Glancing at Ji Luo, who was smiling at the two people opposite him, he coughed lightly and handed over his piece of meat. “Sister, this is for you.”

Ji Luo paused and looked at the plate of fat mutton handed to her. She smiled playfully. “Thank you, Brother Sikong.”

Unexpectedly, just as she reached out, a hand took the plate away faster than her.

Xuanyuan Ce sat between the two of them and smiled. “Ah Luo, don’t you not like mutton? I specially roasted rabbit meat for you and Jiajia.”

Chu Feng and Chu Lin placed two plates of rabbit meat in front of Ji Luo and Shen Yijia.

Xuanyuan Ce glanced at Sikong Yi, who seduced his Ah Luo when he was away.

Sikong Yi raised his eyebrows and raised his wine bowl at him, drinking it in one gulp.

Not to be outdone, Xuanyuan Ce picked up his wine bowl and drank it in one gulp.

Ji Luo held her forehead. “Xuanyuan Ce!”

Xuanyuan Ce’s heart skipped a beat. He stuffed the mutton into his mouth and pretended to be innocent. “Ah Luo, what’s wrong?”

Ji Luo thought to herself, “Aren’t you afraid of choking to death?”

Seeing all of this, Shen Yijia blinked at Song Jingchen. Look, they’re starting again.

Ever since he saw Sikong Yi help Ji Luo off the horse, Xuanyuan Ce had been guarding against him like he was guarding against wolves. As long as the two of them were together, the atmosphere would definitely be tense.

Song Jingchen covered his mouth and coughed lightly. “Mother will be embarrassed if he doesn’t hold back.”

Shen Yijia whispered, “Got it, got it.”

Ji Luo thought, “Do the two of you think I’m blind?”

She couldn’t eat anymore. She stood up and left. Xuanyuan Ce quickly picked up the plate of rabbit meat and followed. “Ah Luo, you haven’t eaten anything yet.”

Two of the three of them left the stage at once. Shen Yijia looked at Sikong Yi again.handsome. They were not the same type, but they were both handsome.

No matter who her mother was with, she didn’t seem to be at a disadvantage.

“Ahem.” Sikong Yi asked awkwardly, “Is there something on my face when the

Duchess looks at me like that?”

Shen Yijia nodded seriously. “Yes.”

Sikong Yi was amused by her adorable appearance. “What is it?”

Shen Yijia grinned. “You’re a little handsome.”

Sikong Yi was stunned and subconsciously looked at Song Jingchen.

A certain someone, who was cutting meat for Shen Yijia, had a dark expression.

Shen Yijia felt it almost instantly. She added, “But it’s still a little inferior to my husband. Hehe.”

As if she didn’t think that was enough, she opened her arms and gestured. “By just a bit.”

Sikong Yi couldn’t help but laugh. He cupped his hands at Song Jingchen, whose expression had clearly improved a lot. “I’ll go drink two bowls with those brats.”

Song Jingchen nodded. “General Sikong, please go ahead.”

As soon as General Sikong left, Thirty Thousand and MO Yuan found an excuse to leave. Shen Yijia didn’t give Song Jingchen a chance to speak. She leaned over and held his face with both hands. She praised him sincerely, “Why is my husband so good-looking? How can such a good-looking husband be mine? Oh my, I’m so happy.”

Song Jingchen was speechless.

The initial battle plan was drawn up during the day. At night, everyone ate and drank happily. Before dawn, the army set off.

Fengzhou was the border city between Great Xia and the Xuanyuan Kingdom. Because the Xuanyuan Kingdom had the strongest national strength among the three countries, there were more troops stationed there than at Nanling Pass. There were a total of 500,000 troops.

This time, General Sikong brought 300,000 soldiers. Coupled with the soldiers collected on the way, there were nearly 100,000 more when they arrived at Nanling Pass.

There were a total of 400,000 soldiers led by Song Jingchen and General Sikong to attack the border city of the Wu Kingdom, the western city gate of Luozhou.

Xuanyuan Ce and General Ye also led 400,000 Xuanyuan troops to attack their northern cities.

As for the original garrison, they stayed behind at Nanling Pass to prevent the Wu Kingdom’s army from counterattacking. Actually, this was unlikely, but

Song Jingchen didn’t want to take the risk..
