Chapter 175: Life and Death 4

The joy of the night seems to have no end. Neither of them could remember exactly how long it had been, until finally, until each was so exhausted that they didn't even have the strength to move......

The two of them were so tired that only smiles remained on their faces.

Especially Zi Ling, his smile was very, very tired, his big hand slowly stroked Xia Ji's wet hair in his arms, and his voice was surprisingly gentle: "Xia Ji ......"

She just responded. She was actually more tired and more tired than he was, but he didn't know it.

That kind of endless energy transmission completely made her feel like she had a serious illness, but when she had an attack, she didn't let anyone see it, let alone let him worry.

Slowly, he seemed to feel that she was a little different from usual, so he called her softly, "Natsuhime...... Natsuhime......"

"Hmmm......"

"Natsuhime, what's wrong with you?"

Of course, she won't sue him, but she is secretly happy in her heart, and after a while, Zi Ling will be full of energy and vitality, so that when she goes to the battlefield, she will rest assured.

The smile on her face relieved him, and soon, her gentleness silently made his faint uneasiness disappear without a trace.

The two don't really need to talk to each other, it's a kind of call and tenderness that they know each other.

In the strange experience of losing her strength, in a soft, lazy feeling, she realized something that she had never had in her life, as if there was something solid in her body, and between herself and the child spirit, a strange substance was generated.

He has always relied on her, just like before, extremely nostalgic for her warmth. And she has always been docile to him, especially in these days of separation, she is even more obedient and silent. Don't say he's just so nostalgic, no matter what he wants, she'll cooperate to the fullest.

For a long, long time, at that time, the sky was almost white. In a few moments, Zi Ling will have to get up and prepare to go on the expedition.

Xia Ji's hand gently stroked his cheek: "Ziling, you can rest for a while." ”

He held her hand tightly, how could he fall asleep at this time?

"Natsuhime, I'm really reluctant to leave you. Alas, the thought of not seeing you for many days makes me very uncomfortable...... But wait for me at home, and I will leave your right-hand man to take care of you, and don't be afraid of any danger......"

Her head was buried in his arms, listening to the sound of his heartbeat, breathing in the peculiar smell of a man on his body: "Ziling, how long will this war take?"

"I can't say exactly. It can be two or three months, a year and a half, or two or three years later. After all, this time it was the king of Chu Zhuang who drove the expedition in person, and the last time I defeated the Chu army, it was the general of the Chu army, Lian Xianglao, who led the army, and Xiang Lao was the most famous general in the Chu country. However, King Chu Zhuang thinks very highly of himself, thinking that it is Xiang Lao who loses, not himself, so he holds a grudge, he is not convinced, and he has to compete with me, how can I be afraid of him?"

She had only heard "two or three years" for so long?

Two or three years of war, what does it really mean?

"Don't worry, I'll come back with a message at any time to report my safety. I don't feel at ease when you're home alone, so I've asked my personal guards, Jiaxin and Yixin, to stay behind to protect you. These two have been with me since I was six years old, and they have been loyal to me, and they will do everything in their power to protect you......"
