The System Make Me Near With The Emperor
Chapter 23

[Please attention! The mandatory side mission has been triggered. If you cannot complete the mission, you will be punished. You must not be far away with the protagonist within 1 meter within 20.19.].

Xie Hongyi walked into the tent with a run. His face did look sour, as the system gave him an impromptu mission, as well as what kind of mission it was! So indirectly he had to cling like a vine with Huang Long?

Xie Hongyi had no other choice. So when he entered, he wordlessly hugged Huang Long straight away. Surprised that suddenly someone was hugging him, Huang Long was fixated and his mind was blank for a moment.

After hearing the gasping sounds of the two people in front of him, Huang Long regained his senses and asked while frowning. "Why are you hugging me?"

Xie Hongyi said seriously. "If I don't touch you, I'll die." Huang Long knew that Xie Hongyi did not lie to him.

Xie Hongyi hugged Huang Long's body from the side like a bolster. The man tried to take his hand off because he felt they were inappropriate when they were in a serious situation. But Xie Hongyi's hands wrapped around his body very like vines, so his efforts were in vain and he ignored them. After all, being hugged by Xie Hongyi did not disgust him, it even felt comfortable and warm. Knowing that he was thinking like that, Huang Long's ears slowly turned red. The red color also reached her cheeks, making the man look away so that the people in the room did not notice.

With a sinless face, Xie Hongyi said. He had also turned his originally grim face into a smile looking at General Mo and General Jiang. "Please continue. I'm not gonna bother you guys."

Blame the system that gave him the mission of having to be close to the protagonist. If he had stayed a meter away from her, he would have been punished with pain in his head.

Therefore, despite the embarrassment of being stared at by General Mo and General Jiang, Xie Hongyi tightly embraced Huang Long.

General Mo whispered. "I didn't know that His Majesty could be this intimate with Consort Xie."

"Now you know. " The person next to him whispered back. At this time they are like looking at a newly married couple, reluctant to separate and continue to stick with each other.

Since Huang Long did not speak anymore, they continued the discussion on what strategy they should take against the northern kingdom. Opinions for the sake of opinion were alternately expressed, and they also forgot the ambiguous posture of the two people. Xie Hongyi listened to them without any intention of interrupting.

Xie Hongyi stared at the map on the table. The pictures on the map look so simple, in the form of several different symbols and given different colors as well. Xie Hongyi was then about to ask the meaning of one green-colored symbol, appearing so conspicuous and dominant in the map. He slightly distanced his body from Huang Long, but he quickly hugged Huang Long again because when he moved away from him, a sharp pain felt in his body. Di asked while still hugging Huang Long. "What is the green symbol?"

The one answering Xie Hongyi's question was General Mo. "This is a swamp area. That location was in a forest close to the desert."

For some reason when he heard Xie Hongyi speak, General Jiang subconsciously explained. "North forces have a fast and agile movement. If we hinder their movement, then his strength will decrease. Therefore we intend to lure them to attack first."

General Mo then continued. "But since most of the soldiers are not in a possible condition, we will look for another way."

Xie Hongyi slightly smiled. He had been a military doctor for decades, it was not uncommon for him to also take part in strategy discussions with his commanders. So, in a situation like this, an idea popped up in his mind. "Just run that plan. I know how to lure them out."

At this moment, everyone inside the tent was staring at Xie Hongyi. Huang Long seriously asked. His face was no longer red. "How is it?"

***

The temperature in the desert at night is very cold. The Northern soldiers overcame the cold air by lighting a bonfire. They also roasted a forest deer they had hunted earlier this afternoon in the forest near the desert. The grill gave off a fragrant aroma that made all the soldiers hungry. The atmosphere is still relaxed and safe for now.

At this moment, an explosion was heard. In the night sky, a huge light seemed to glow around him. The Northern Warriors became wary, even they forgot about the grilled deer. The general who served as their leader, General Wu Zhantian also walked out of the tent after hearing the voice. Wu Zhantian was as gallant as it seemed to be a general with a tall body and a domineering aura that belonged to him. He acted quickly by giving orders to his soldiers. "Fireworks? Who lights it up before the new year? Check quickly!"

Some soldiers then left. When they got to where they thought was the source of the sound, they found nothing. After carefully inspecting the entire place, the soldiers were about to return and report to their General when a thin thread appeared and blocked their path. One of the soldiers then ventured to touch him, and he immediately had convulsions and then fell unconscious.

Seeing that the thread was dangerous, the other soldiers stepped carefully so as not to touch it. But when the moonlight bounced off them, it turned out that the thread was everywhere and wrapped around their bodies!

Xie Hongyi, Huang Long, General Jiang, General Mo and a few soldiers stood in an invisible corner. Except for Xie Hongyi, their faces displayed shocked expressions. The thread was actually a power cord, and Xie Hongyi was holding his control device. It was exchanged for 50 points. Xie Hongyi was a little unwilling, but for the sake of great profit, he had to sacrifice something. No one knew that Xie Hongyi secretly planned to ask Huang Long for a reward if the strategy he proposed was successful. Well, the count in exchange for his points being exchanged to help the man. "Hurry, turn on the fireworks again!" Xie Hongyi shouted.

Those who were shocked finally realized. The soldier who was in charge of lighting the fireworks then obeyed Xie Hongyi's orders. In fact, these fireworks are always used if in an emergency, such as a signal to provide information.

Again, the flames of the fireworks lit up the sky. As the sound of fireworks bursting out, Xie Hongyi slightly clenched his hands. His body also shook a little. In the heart, the fear turns into a trauma. Suddenly warmth enveloped his clenched hand. Xie Hongyi felt safe and comfortable with that warmth, then he turned to find who the culprit was holding his hand.

It turned out that he was Huang Long. When he was stared at by Xie Hongyi from the side, his face pitched towards the sky. The light of the fireworks made the man's face look beautiful and shining. He nonchalantly clasped Xie Hongyi's hand, flowing a warmth that reached into the woman's heart. Xie Hongyi smiled and silently muttered. "Thank you."
