The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
41. War Preparation
Pei Zhang Xi waited for the honey tea to be ready and just returned to his room. Lu Jing Yu had already finished her bath and was also already wearing her nightgown. As Pei Zhang Xi walked in, Lu Jing Yu attacked drying her hair with a small towel in front of the dressing table.
Pei Zhang Xi placed the honey tea on the side of the table and sat down on the side of the table. "You've been here five days. Tomorrow I will have Quan Yuan return to the capital." Pei Zhang Xi was still thinking about what the soldiers in the kitchen were saying. Previously he did not pay much attention because he had too much to handle. But after Lu Jing Yu was in the military camp, her job was much lighter than usual. Even the problems they find difficult to solve gradually get better and better. Lu Jing Yu's presence was very helpful to them. And now, he was trying to think that Lu Jing Yu was not worthy of living in this bad and uncomfortable military camp.
"Why is His Majesty thinking of sending me back again? Does Your Majesty really dislike me being here?" Lu Jing Yu stopped her hand movements and turned to look at Pei Zhang Xi.
"No. It's not like that." Pei Zhang Xi shook his head. "Look over here. This place is very simple. The room was narrow and the bed was hard. You must have been uncomfortable all along, right? This place doesn't suit you."
"Did Your Majesty ever listen to me complain about this?"
"..." - ".Lu Jing Yu had indeed never complained about anything as long as he was in a place like this.
"If so let me stay here. I'm not just silent either. I'm helping out here. Moreover, according to my predictions, those enemies will soon lose their patience and attack. If there's nothing to say, I'll sleep first."
"Drink your tea before bed." Pei Zhang Xi blocked Lu Jing Yu's hand which was about to stand up. Lu Jing Yu sat back down and drank her honey tea.
"Thank you Your Majesty."
"Hem. Now let's go to sleep." Pei Zhang Xi pulled Lu Jing Yu's hand he took her away to their bed.
Lu Jing Yu and Pei Zhang Xi lay face to face. Because no one gave up sleeping on the floor and also they had done that even though it had never been repeated since that night. So they decided to share a cramped bed in the military camp room.
"I understand what His Majesty means. But Your Majesty should also know, I don't mind staying here. We'll go home together after all this has passed. I'm not here just because I want to. But because I know I'm needed."
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to throw you away. I'm just worried. Here besides being uncomfortable is also dangerous."
"I know Your Majesty. Your Majesty just calm down. I'm afraid of getting hurt, too. I'll leave as soon as I feel danger."
"alright. Now we have to sleep. today's been trying hard."
The next day they were struck by a war memorial sent by the enemy. Pei Zhang Xi and Lu Jing Yu immediately gathered the higher-ups to discuss the war plan. The war will happen in the next two days.
"This time they proposed a war in the Southwest where most of it was swamps. What exactly are their plans?" One of the officers felt strange about the place of war they had proposed.
"I don't know either. What matters now is our war strategy."
"This time they brought a lot of troops. I think they intend to risk the outcome today."
"I knew. The city does it like this." Lu Jing Yu told him the solution he could think of to overcome the marshy land that had the dominance of the place.
"That's a good idea. We can do it like that."
"really. I agree too."
"alright. Then immediately command the troops to make it. So we can use it immediately."
"Well. Besides, I have other ideas, too." Lu Jing Yu sneered cunningly.
Two days had passed and the war had finally happened. This time the appearance of the warrior was unusual. They did not wear armor as usual. Except for the animal's leather coat. On their feet were mounted skateboards similar to skis in the modern world. Both of their hands were also holding a balancing stick.
It was the appearance of a squad. The other troops wore armor as usual. Complete with swords and sticks. Some, they had already left for the battlefield with weapons in the form of arrows.
Pei Zhang Xi wore his Armor suit aided by Mo Han. Lu Jing Yu saw him preparing with a feeling of worry. However, even though he felt worried and did not want Pei Zhang Xi to leave, he could not stop him. He can't be selfish just because he's worried. This war could be the ultimate war that will determine everything. If they win, the war that lasted these few weeks will be over. But if they lose, they will lose their territory. And maybe even lose their lives.
"Hum..." Lu Jing Yu sighed helplessly. Pei Zhang Xi from the start had already noticed Lu Jing Yu who had continued to pay attention to him from the start.
"What's wrong with you?" Pei Zhang Xi walked over to Lu Jing Yu as soon as he finished preparing.
"Return is fine." Lu Jing Yu looked up and looked at Pei Zhang Xi with a hard-to-understand look as they all gathered together into one.
"certain. Don't worry." Pei Zhang Xi tanoansadar stroked Lu Jing Yu's head.
"General Mu Ru Ge is a cunning man. Whatever he says, please don't believe."
"Whatchu mean? Did you know this guy before?" Pei Zhang Xi furrowed his brows. This was not the first time Lu Jing Yu mentioned the cunning of the new general. And most of Lu Jing Yu's guesses were exact. Relying on that, they have been able to repel enemy forces. Pei Zhang Xi had already felt suspicious from the start.
"No. I don't know him." But I'm avoiding all his plans from the novel about you guys. Of course it is only spoken in the heart
"alright. You don't have to worry. I'm not gonna let a widow have to wear white?" Pei Zhang Xi curled his lips feeling the worried face of Lu Jing Yu look cute.
"Why joke at the wrong time?" Lu Jing Yu's lips pursed. He knew Pei Zhang Xi was making fun of him.
"You have to trust me."
"yeah. It's time to go. Go quickly and come back." Lu Jing Yu stood up and held onto Pei Zhang Xi's sturdy shoulder.
"Wait for me to come back." Pei Zhang Xi hesitated for a moment before he pecked Lu Jing Yu's forehead for a moment before he turned around and left the room. Ignoring the glaring Lu Jing Yu with flushed cheeks behind her.
