“Where are uncle and aunty?” Ming Zhiyan asked.

Jian Qingqing replied, “She should be at his abbotship’s place. Today is the Vegetarian Festival. Mother has to go and ask his abbotship for a divination. I don’t know where Xiao Hu and the others have gone.”

Then, Jian Qingqing rolled her eyes. “Why don’t we go to the back mountain to play? We haven’t been there for a long time. I heard that there is a waterfall in the back mountain, but the strange thing is that it hasn’t frozen yet. I haven’t seen it yet.”

Ming Zhiyan said with some guilt, “I’m sorry, I’ve been too busy to accompany you today.”

Jian Qingqing half-hung on his arm as she walked and smiled. “It’s fine, I don’t have much time these days. By the way, how’s your work? Is the matter at the border still very troublesome?

Ming Zhiyan was a little worried, he hummed and said, “In the past two years, there have been constant disputes, big and small. Because Great Wei has grain and weapons, there are no major problems. However, recently, all the countries have increased their troops against Great Wei, and the border has begun to become a little difficult.”

Jian Qingqing frowned slightly. She did not know much about war, but she knew that Great Wei was surrounded by the four countries. It was like a little sheep surrounded by a wolf pack, and could be swallowed at any time.

The only way to solve this problem was to kill all the wolves.

But now, every border was being watched covetously. If the forces of one side were moved to another place to attack other countries, then the places with weak forces would definitely be attacked. Therefore, the current great Wei could only defend and not attack.

“What do you plan to do?”

The two of them walked away while snuggling up to each other. Their black and red backs were surprisingly harmonious and looked very compatible.

“His Majesty wants to use all the soldiers in the Capital to attack Qing Kingdom first. Compared to other countries, Qing Kingdom has a weaker military force, so it will be better for us to fight.”

Jian Qingqing frowned. “The soldiers in the Capital are here to protect His Majesty. What if they all leave? Also, the commander of the army is also a problem.”

Ming Zhiyan’s footsteps paused for a moment, but he continued to walk as if nothing had happened. there will always be a way.

Although Ming Zhiyan’s movement was subtle, Jian Qingqing still noticed the abnormality. She stopped and narrowed her beautiful eyes, looking at Ming Zhiyan and asking, “What happened to you just now?

Ming Zhiyan didn’t expect her to notice his subtle movement. He knew he couldn’t hide it from her, so he prepared a draft in his mouth before saying,

“The Emperor wants me to be the general of the army and take the tiger tally to attack the Qing Kingdom.”

He didn’t want to hide it from her, but he didn’t want to tell her so early, because he didn’t want her to worry too much.

Jian Qingqing suddenly pursed her lips and was a little angry. “What do you mean, Your Majesty has no one else by his side? Why do you need to go? How can you, a civil official, go to the battlefield?”

Ming Zhiyan did not expect her to have such a big reaction, so he quickly grabbed her hand and said, “This has nothing to do with His Majesty. I volunteered myself. I learned from my master when I was a child, and there are few people in the whole of Great Wei who are more powerful than me in martial arts.”

Jian Qingqing shook off his hand, snorted coldly, and said in a strange tone,

“Then should I say that you’re very powerful? The Great General Ming?”

Ming Zhiyan did not expect her to be so angry, and he did not know how to explain this matter. He could only look at her.

After a long while, he said, “Actually… My father died at the hands of the Qing

Kingdom. I want to avenge my father personally..”
