Morong Gan decided to attack the city because he heard that the city guards were bored and wanted to shoot the citizens of the city for fun.
Although he was outside the city, he was very clear about the news in the city. Back then, he did not attack the city to take care of the people.
He suddenly realized that his heart softened. In the past, for the sake of the greater picture, it would be inevitable for some civilians to die. He would not wait and directly attack the city, but now, the few people killed by the garrison made him feel heavy.
Is it because of her?
Closing his eyes, he saw a pair of large, dark eyes, black and white, clear and unblemished, with a hint of a smile, as if praising him for what he had done well.
It was easy to die, hard to live, but no matter how hard it was, she didn't want to die. And his sunshine... He sighed sadly. He had been taken away by her.
After withdrawing his troops and returning to the camp, Jia Tong immediately came over to lead the horse, "The prince is back."
"En", he turned and entered the camp account. Before she even had the time to drink a mouthful of water, Huangfu Zhuer entered the camp account.
"What, looks like you've been crying?"
"Third Brother, I know that I shouldn't have bothered you with these things, but that Lv He really …" Huangfu Zhuer blinked her eyes as tears rolled down her cheeks. She was not pretending.
"You're fighting again?" Morong Gan rolled up his sleeves and used the handkerchief to wash his face, "Didn't I tell you before to stop messing with her?"
Huangfu Zhuer looked at him in shock. It was just a maid, couldn't she?
Morong Gan saw that she was stunned, and asked: "What for this time?"
"She brought the little bunnies out to bask in the sun. I only touched them for a while, but she scolded me. Third Brother, she is only a servant girl, how can she scold me?
Morong Gan smiled lightly: "Just because of this? He's always been on good terms with the wangfei, so naturally, he doesn't want you to touch the little wench. When the wangfei leaves, she's unhappy that you're staying here, and his temper is bad as well. It's only natural for his to be angry at you.
Huangfu Zhuer was simply dumbstruck. Her tears hung from the corners of her eyes as she stared at him blankly. After a long while, she said, "Actually, Third Brother is blaming me in her heart as well.
"It's not your fault," Morong Gan said in the same indifferent tone. "It's my fault."
"Will the Third Brother find the wangfei?"
There was no longer any need to hide it now. He spread out his hands and said, "She's my consort. Isn't it natural to bring her back?"
"Third Brother likes her."
Morong Gan did not say anything, walked over to the table, and placed a small flag on the sand, "It's not like it, it's love."
Huangfu Zhuer's heart had sunk to the bottom, but she was unwilling. Obviously, for her, Morong Gan had sent her away.
Only when she bit her lips did she dare to ask, "Has Third Brother ever loved me?"
Morong Gan lifted his head, his bright eyes not avoiding his gaze in the slightest, "I once liked you."
Huangfu Zhuer was unable to stand steadily. All of her pride shattered in that instant, and her face paled as she muttered to herself, "You liked me before, but you loved her …"
Morong Gan looked at her, "Zhu'er, if there are some things that I don't know, that doesn't mean I don't know.
She knew that there was no hope now, but she could lose all of her face in front of Morong Gan, and could not lose it in front of a servant. In any case, her pride had already been trampled on, so she had to give it a try even if she was rejected.
"Third Brother, I understand. In the future, I won't bother you with these matters. Can you agree to my last request?"
"Go ahead."
"I'm so lonely. I want a little rabbit, okay?"
Morong Gan seemed to seriously think about it, then said, "The six of them are used to being together, if they were to suddenly split up, I'm afraid they won't live, after we attack the city, whatever you want, just ask someone to buy from the city."
Even though she knew it would be the answer, she still had some hope, but when he said it, her heart became cold and no longer had any feelings for him. Huangfu Zhuer took a deep breath, and held back the smile on her face: "Since that's the case, let's wait quietly for Third Brother's beautiful voice that can break the city."
She was a lady from a noble family. No matter how emotional she might be, she would not let herself lose her composure. Her actions and words were still as flawless as before.
Morong Gan watched her as she slowly walked away. His familiar figure was elegant and graceful, but he didn't seem to have any feelings. The past seemed to be like a dream to his, and that dream had already been awoken when he first met Bai Qianfan.
The crown prince opened the tent flap and entered, "What's wrong, Zhu'er doesn't look too good, did you guys have a fight?"
Morong Gan shook his head, "What is there to argue about with her?"
The crown prince paid attention to his expression, "Zhu'er has been thinking of you for the past few years and has treated you as her support. Don't let her down."
"Is that so?" Morong Gan chuckled, "She's clearly been with you all these years, but when she comes back, she didn't say anything and pretended to be lonely.
"That's what I meant. After all, my status is too special, and in addition, I've been here for a long time. There are some things that I need to take into account. Don't blame her."
Morong Gan lowered his head to look at the sand table on the table, and only after a long while did he let out a sigh, "It's been a long time, many things have changed, and people can see it more clearly," he laughed, "These things are not important, the most important thing now is the assault city, second brother, what do you think?"
"You're the best when it comes to fighting," the Crown Prince said with a smile. "I'll listen to you."
Morong Gan put in the last flag, "Then we won't wait, let's attack today."
"Today?" The Crown Prince was surprised, "Didn't you just withdraw your troops? Could it be that we are not prepared to send our troops now? "
Morong Gan shook his head, he walked to the side of the door and raised the curtain as he looked at the sky, "Right now, we have to replenish our energy, and attack the city tonight."
"Why wait till night? The enemy is holding a lamp to light us in the dark. That would be very disadvantageous for us!"
Morong Gan purposely kept him in suspense, and only said, "Second brother will know when night comes."
He was an expert in battles, and was a famous Warlord in terms of East Yue. However, many people thought that he was just a barbarian, and that just by relying on his bravery, he could overcome all obstacles. In reality, it was not so, a good general had to have courage and foresight.
The Crown Prince was right. The enemy troops were in the tower, looking down from above. Once the lanterns were lit, there was nowhere for them to escape. But he was afraid that the enemy could not see, so he would put out a few bright lights for them to see.
