Chapter 313 - A War on the Brink

Jianjia who took a nap just opened her eyes and saw such a beautiful picture. Even though she didn’t understand the feelings at this moment, she was also throbbing in her heart.

Before she really met someone who understood her, maybe she would never understand such feelings.

Jun Yeyan tilted his ears to listen to the fetal movement. He only felt that his heart beat more and more violently, like a wave that could not be calmed down for a long time.

Bai Aoxue rubbed Jun Yeyan’s black-ink hair and asked softly, “Did you hear anything?”

There was a smile of contentment at the corners of her mouth.

“Yes.” Jun Yeyan said in a low voice.

As soon as Bai Aoxue heard what Jun Yeyan said, she was slightly stunned and then said, “What did you hear?”

“He said… He wanted to come with me and didn’t want to part with me.” Jun Yeyan gently stroked Bai Aoxue’s slightly bulging abdomen and said in detail.

His long and narrow phoenix-like eyes narrowed slightly with satisfaction and happiness.

Bai Aoxue said softly, “Are you kidding me? I won’t go back with you, but I won’t stay here either. I’m going to take Jianjia back to peach blossom mountain with me, where I met Jianjia and brother Tiance. I think it’s better to protect the fetus there than anywhere else, and it’s not far from here. You can send me to peach blossom mountain. I can go in by myself. When everything is settled, you can come and take me home.”

When Jun Yeyan listened to Bai Aoxue’s words, he was stunned and then said, “But you are not by my side. I can’t rest assured. I hope to accompany you and our child and we watch our child grow up together.”

As soon as Bai Aoxue listened to Jun Yeyan’s words, she smiled slightly and said, “But the three countries are not at peace now, you must devote a lot of energy to dealing with political affairs. When we are by your side, we will only distract you. If you don’t want to be separated from us for too long, then work hard a little to end these gunpowder wars as soon as possible. So you can be reunited with us as soon as possible.”

Listening to what Bai Aoxue said, Jun Yeyan knew that Bai Aoxue had made up her mind. No matter how much he dissuaded her, she wouldn’t change her mind.

In fact, he knew that Bai Aoxue did it like this in order to enable him to concentrate on dealing with political affairs without distraction. Because as long as she was by his side, his focus would always be on her.

Bai Aoxue continued to say, “What’s more, the depths of peach blossom mountain are very quiet. I can protect the fetus very well there. I won’t worry about being disturbed or someone will come looking for trouble.”

On hearing her words, Jun Yeyan smiled bitterly, then he slowly got up and pulled Bai Aoxue’s hands and said, “You know… no matter what you want to do, or how you choose, I will support you.”

Listening to what Jun Yeyan said, Bai Aoxue smiled softly and said, “I know it. So you should deal with things quickly and come to take me and our child home.”

Jun Yeyan hugged Bai Aoxue and gently said, “I’ll come here soon. I won’t keep you waiting long. This is the last time you wait for me. Next time, there will be nothing to keep us apart. ”

Bai Aoxue nodded and said, “At that time, three people including Hongxiu and Mumian should stay with me in peach blossom mountain. By the way, did you find my Chidian?”

As soon as Jun Yeyan heard the several people Bai Aoxue talked about, he was very reluctant to talk about them. But when he thought that Bai Aoxue needed to be taken care of, Jun Yeyan had to nod and said, “I will let them come tomorrow. Chidian has also been brought out. Don’t worry too much.”

She heard what Jun Yeyan said like this, Bai Aoxue had to nod her head and said, “When will we leave?”

Jun Yeyan looked at the sky and said, “Maybe early tomorrow morning. It will take a whole morning from here to peach blossom mountain. I will personally take you there.”

Bai Aoxue nodded and said, “All right. If we leave early, you can also deal with things earlier. Tell my uncle not to worry about me and take good care of himself.”

Jun Yeyan nodded and said, “It’s windy. Let’s go inside and rest.”

When he was talking, he hugged Bai Aoxue and walked into the house. When he passed Jianjia, Jun Yeyan kicked a chair and said, “Go back to sleep in your room. If you get sick, no one takes care of you.”

Jianjia looked at Jun Yeyan and made a grimace, saying, “Let you show off for one day. Sister Aoxue will be with me from tomorrow.”

Jun Yeyan looked at Jianjia’s proud appearance and said with a cold smile, “Even if you are together, I am the one who Xue misses.”

“You!” Jianjia looked at Jun Yeyan anxiously. A pair of almond-shaped eyes stared very big. She looked very cute.

Jun Yeyan saw her appearance like this. He raised his lips slightly and smiled proudly.

When Bai Aoxue saw it, she pushed Jun Yeyan with her elbow and said, “How can you argue with Jianjia all day? She is a child. Are you also a child? Are you not shy?”

As soon as Jun Yeyan heard Bai Aoxue’s words, the corners of his mouth trembled fiercely, and then he said, “Eh-hem… Come on. Go in and get some rest. You are weak now, so don’t catch a cold.”

Bai Aoxue looked at the awkward appearance of Jun Yeyan. She smiled and said, “Jianjia. Go and have a rest. We are leaving tomorrow. It is necessary to have enough energy.”

Hearing Bai Aoxue’s words, Jianjia nodded and said, “I’ll go to rest. sister Aoxue, you should also take an early rest.”

After watching Jianjia leave, Bai Aoxue followed Jun Yeyan into the house.

Holding Bai Aoxue to lean against the bed, Jun Yeyan only felt extremely satisfied. He had never thought that one day he and Bai Aoxue could have such a quiet and peaceful day.

They were happy and quiet in the house. Everything outside seemed to have nothing to do with them.

The country and the chaos of war had been put aside. As long as he had peace at this moment, he could ignore everything else.

He did not have to choose, nor did he have to hesitate. He had already made a choice when he met her from the very beginning.

The next morning, when Bai Aoxue woke up, Jun Yeyan had already got up. When he saw Bai Aoxue waking up, Jun Yeyan said, “Sleep a little longer. After discussing everything with them, I will come to call you. You should have a little more rest.”

As soon as Bai Aoxue listened to Jun Yeyan’s words, she showed her head outside the quilt and squinted at Jun Yeyan and said, “But… I don’t want to leave you now.”

As soon as Jun Yeyan heard Bai Aoxue’s words, he looked at her appearance at this moment. His heart could not help throbbing fiercely.

She lazily bathed in the sun like a contented kitten. Her extraordinary splendor was no match for her dependence on him at this moment.

Walking quickly to Bai Aoxue, Jun Yeyan knelt on one knee and slightly bent down to touch Bai Aoxue’s cheek. He kissed her on the forehead and said, “Good girl. Have a good rest. I’ll stay with you.”

Bai Aoxue stretched out her hands to take Jun Yeyan’s hand. She nodded and continued to rest with a satisfied smile.

Jun Yeyan looked at Bai Aoxue’s hands which tightly held his hands. He raised his lips and smiled. It turned out that Xue had been so dependent on him unconsciously.

He slowly lifted the quilt. Jun Yeyan put Bai Aoxue’s hands in the quilt and said to the outside behind her back, “You wait in the front hall.”

The people outside left quietly, but Jun Yeyan still maintained the same posture that he was holding Bai Aoxue in his arms.

After a while, he confirmed that Bai Aoxue was asleep. Jun Yeyan gently moved to gather the quilt for Bai Aoxue and gently gave a quick kiss on her lips.

He just left slowly.

In the front hall, Li Xiao and his men had already been waiting. When they saw Jun Yeyan coming, they all saluted together.

Jun Yeyan looked at all the Shadows and asked lightly, “Are you all ready?”

Ying Er said, “Master, We are ready. When we leave the Nanyue Dynasty, Ju Xiao will be assassinated. He will lose his identity of Ju Xiao and returned to the Chengxi Dynasty.”

Jun Yeyan looked at Ying San and Li Xiao, saying, “This time, Li Xiao and Ying San followed Xue and stayed with her in peach blossom mountain. At that time, you will also pick up Zi Yuanyue there. Xue must have a doctor. If Zi Yuanyue and Ying San can be by her side, I can rest assured.”

And Li Xiao and Ying San listened to his words without any dissatisfaction. They said neatly, “We will protect our mistress. Master, please rest assured.”

“Master, this is a letter from Zhao early this morning.” Ying Er gave the letter he has just got to Jun Yeyan.

As soon as Jun Yeyan opened the letter, his handsome brows frowned slightly.

“Well… He should act a long time ago. He’s been putting it off until now.” Jun Yeyan sneered and said with a cold smile.

“It seems that we must hurry up. Qi Liange has already acted. He has joined forces with the remnant parties of the Mobei Dynasty and prepared to attack the Chengxi Dynasty from Mountain Qing.” Jun Yeyan put away the letter and lightly said.

“Ying Er, now you take some people to Mountain Qing immediately. Zhao has already sent some people to support them. I will send Xue to peach blossom mountain and come after a while.” Jun Yeyan looked at Ying Er and lightly said.

“Master!” As soon as Ying Er wanted to speak, an urgent shout came from outside the door.

Jun Yeyan frowned slightly and looked at the person who was coming, saying, “What’s the matter? You’re in such a panic.”

“Lord Ju Xiao asked me to tell you that Qi Liange stationed troops in the Ye Capital. The checkpoint of the Ye Capital is weak. It is in danger of being breached at any time.” The man sent by Ju Xiao said hurriedly.

As soon as Jun Yeyan heard the man’s words, his eyes were cold. He said, “What a brilliant plan! Using Mountain Qing as bait to remind us that Mountain Qing is his goal, but in fact the real army has been sent to the Ye Capital, which obscures our vigilance.”

Ying Er also said anxiously, “Well. Master, is it too late to get to the Ye Capital now?”

Jun Yeyan shook his head slightly and said, “Although I didn’t expect that he would attack from the Ye Capital, he may not be able to destroy the city easily if he wants to. When I was passing through the Ye Capital, I had already sent some people to strengthen its security. I had also sent a group of elite soldiers to go there, so there would be no danger for the time being in the Ye Capital.”

Li Xiao looked at Jun Yeyan in shock, saying, “Those people you asked me to prepare that time?”

Jun Yeyan did not deny it. He gently said, “This is the truth of training an army for a day to be used for just one hour. Immediately send orders to Luo Su. Let him take people to guard the Ye Capital strictly and wait for the reinforcements to get there.”

“I see. I send the message now!”

Jun Yeyan waved his hands, saying, “Go to prepare it. We will leave after a while.”

He left first to wake up Bai Aoxue.

On this side, Jun Yeyan had just returned to his and Bai Aoxue’s small courtyard. Bai Aoxue had already got up and packed up with Jianjia.

Bai Aoxue looked at Jun Yeyan who came back quickly and lightly said, “Are we leaving?”

Jun Yeyan nodded and said, “The Ye Capital is under siege. We must set out in advance.”

Bai Aoxue nodded in understanding and said, “We are ready. If you are in a hurry, you can send someone to take me there. You can go back first.”
