At that time, the Xiliang was still a Subordinate Country and Xiu Heng was still a proton. He lived in the Yusong Institute of the palace and accompanied her through many days and nights.
Xiu Heng and Mu Chuyang's personalities were completely different. He was calm and quiet, and was even able to read Duan Yunfei's mind.
Compared to Mu Chuyang's impulsiveness and the popinjay, Duan Yunfei liked Xiu Heng's restraint more. Everyone said that Xiu Heng was extremely shrewd, and only Duan Yunfei liked to be together with him.
"Xiu Heng, will you stay here and accompany me?" At that time, Duan Yunfei still did not know his home country, and there was no love or hate in his heart. He only knew how to fly and walk, he just lied on the roof of the Yusong Institute and shouted to Xiu Heng.
Xiu Heng was sitting in the courtyard reading and writing, and was not surprised by her arrival. He just smiled and didn't really answer her question.
If he asked her that many times, Xiu Heng would also look at her with a helpless expression.
"Princess, you are the most doted on princess in the Jin Country. In the future, the Emperor will find a good husband for you and let you choose an embroidered future. But I am only an unfavored proton of a Subordinate Country of the Xiliang, why would you treat me like this? " Xiu Heng kept the scripture in his hand and shook his head at her.
At this time, Duan Yunfei would turn around, wrap her arms around her knees and mutter to herself, "I won't take any of those. If you are not willing to stay here with me, then I will follow you. No matter where you go, as long as you are here, I am willing. "
Duan Yunfei had always been willing.
Therefore, throughout the years Xiu Heng had been in the Jin Country, he had always been under Duan Yunfei's protection. Even if he was proton, even if he was relying on others, Duan Yunfei had always done her best to prevent him from getting hurt.
But Xiu Heng was unwilling.
His thoughts were only about power and status, how could he be as naive as Duan Yunfei at that time and not care at all?
As a result, he left everything here behind and left as he wished. There was nothing to be surprised about.
Duan Yunfei sat inside the big tent, and lightly shook her injured hand, and still couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.
The night in the northwest was incomparably long.
Early morning of the next day, a group of generals rushed over to Duan Yunfei's camp to seek an audience.
Duan Yunfei nodded and indicated for them to come in.
"Thirteenth Princess, the soldiers are all ready. We can set off at any time." Vice General Zhang walked over, bowed to Duan Yunfei, and said with a resolute expression.
Duan Yunfei thought for a while and nodded, "Alright, then let the soldiers prepare for their journey."
Vice General Zhang cupped his hands in greeting, but still persisted and spoke to Duan Yunfei: "Thirteenth Princess, this ambush on the enemy camp is too risky, let this lowly general lead the soldiers there. I will do my best to fulfil my mission. "
Duan Yunfei waved her hand, "Vice General Zhang, there's no need for you to say anymore. Victory or defeat in this battle will affect the morale of the troops and their preparation for the upcoming battle.
Duan Yunfei insisted on going up the fighting, and since Vice General Zhang had no other choice, he nodded towards Duan Yunfei.
It was probably because of yesterday's incident that Duan Yunfei had not seen Mu Chuyang for an entire day.
Just as Vice General Zhang was about to leave, Duan Yunfei suddenly remembered something. She turned her head and asked Vice General Zhang, "Has anyone seen Young Prince Mu today?"
"The Vice General Zhang thought for a moment, then shook his head at Duan Yunfei. I haven't seen Young Prince for the entire day. He was always in his tent and didn't go out for the entire day. "
As the Vice General Zhang spoke, Duan Yunfei couldn't help but frown.
Vice General Zhang thought that something had happened, and probed Duan Yunfei with her question: "Princess, if there's anything you need me for, I'll bring him over right now."
"No need." Just as Vice General Zhang finished speaking, Duan Yunfei extended her hand out to stop him. Since he didn't want to come out, he could just leave it to him. He is a Young Prince of the Prince Mu's Mansion, why wouldn't he be able to endure the hardships? "
As Duan Yunfei spoke carelessly, Vice General Zhang could not help but mutter in his heart.
Young Prince Mu had travelled all the way from the capital to the northwest to visit Thirteenth Princess. Two days ago, the two of them were very close, and Thirteenth Princess had even personally sewed clothes for Young Prince Mu.
Vice General Zhang thought in his heart, but he did not dare show it. He only nodded his head lightly and prepared to leave.
"Wait." Just as Vice General Zhang was about to leave, Duan Yunfei turned around and called out to him.
"Vice General Zhang turned around and cupped his hands towards Duan Yunfei. Do you have any other instructions, Princess? "
Duan Yunfei hesitated for a moment, pretending that she did not care, and waved towards Vice General Zhang. This place will be guarded by you after I leave the military camp. Young Prince Mu has never been to the battlefield before, you must have someone to protect him.
Vice General Zhang naturally understood what Duan Yunfei meant and he cupped his hands towards her. Princess, don't worry, we will definitely protect Young Prince well, and definitely will not let him get hurt even in the slightest. "
Duan Yunfei nodded, afraid that the Vice General Zhang would misunderstand. She quickly said to him: "I don't have any other intentions, it's just that he is a prince, if something were to happen to him, you all wouldn't be able to bear the consequences."
Duan Yunfei tried with all her might to distance herself from Mu Chuyang, and the latter couldn't help but want to laugh.
However, Thirteenth Princess's eyes were sharp like a torch, she had no choice but to endure laughing, and pretended to be serious as she replied Duan Yunfei: "Princess, please rest assured, this general knows."
Duan Yunfei heaved a sigh of relief and waved her hand at Vice General Zhang, signalling him to go down.
The northwest sky was very dark, and in the blink of an eye, the sky was filled with stars.
"When is it?" Duan Yunfei stood in the middle of the tent and asked the guards by her side.
"To reply the princess, it is already nineties." The guards by his side walked over and respectfully replied to Duan Yunfei's words.
Duan Yunfei nodded and stood in the tent clad in battle armor. She looked forward with a resolute expression, purposely suppressing her anxiety and unease, showing a calm and composed expression.
The soldiers by her side held their swords and sabers, with serious faces, they too looked at Duan Yunfei, waiting for her to give the order, they could go up and kill the enemy.
Duan Yunfei muttered to herself, she raised his order badge, and said loudly: "Command the soldiers to stand guard, prepare to set off."
The soldiers replied. Their firm voices were almost torn apart by the northwest wind.
