Chapter 511: Chapter 510 Military Orders are Like Mountains

Leaving was inevitable.

The day news of Feng Yexuan’s presence in Longteng Country leaked was the day he had to leave.

Chu Qianli had prepared lots of food for his journey.

"These are compressed biscuits; just a few bites can fill you up. Take them with you and eat them slowly on the road," she said.

"This is anti-inflammatory medicine. You must take it if you’re injured, it will heal the wound faster and also reduce the chance of fever."

"Also this, my own concoction of golden sore medicine. It’s much more effective than the usual remedies you use, but I don’t have much left, so use it sparingly."

"Take this chocolate for Jinrui, to cajole him. During the days you’re away, he must have suffered quite a bit."

"Jinrui has grown up; he doesn’t need me to coax him," Yexuan replied.

Feng Yexuan held her in his arms, buried his face in her embrace, closed his eyes, and gently nuzzled.

Finally, after all the misunderstandings had been cleared, they were together.

And yet, after just a few days, they were about to be separated again.

He truly felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Chu Qianli’s heart felt the same.

Her hand rested on the hair atop Feng Yexuan’s head, gently massaging it.

"Your brothers are all waiting for you. Don’t disregard their lives for the sake of a woman. If so, I would be the eternal sinner and also never gain the recognition of your brothers."

Feng Yexuan didn’t speak, only tightened the arm he had around her slender waist once more.

Soft jade, warm fragrance.

But in truth, after that night of intimacy, they no longer had the chance to be together.

War raged on all sides; these past few days, they had been together seldom and apart often, each leading their troops into battle.

Today, they had finally come together again, only to face a separation that would last even longer.

"Yexuan, don’t be childish. It’s time for you to leave."

Had she spoken to him like this in the past, Feng Yexuan would surely have retorted.

He was the almighty, invincible War God Prince Yexuan who stood above all—how could he be childish?

But now, he would rather be a child and stay by her side.

"Shall we leave, please?" Chu Qianli coaxed again.

The battlefield is no place for sentimentality; time is of the essence.

He should hurry back now that the letter to Long Tianliu has just been sent and before the great army approaches Yitie City.

Before the army arrives, if he can reorganize the armed forces, Yitie City will surely stand no risk of being conquered.

But if he’s even a step late in returning, once the flames of war flare up, even the War God might not be able to turn the tide if the situation becomes dire.

"Go then, be careful on your journey. Long Tianliu will surely send people to assassinate you. Take good care of yourself," she implored.

Chu Qianli cradled his face, lowered her head, and kissed him on his forehead.

Finally, Feng Yexuan let her go, and stood up.

He had not said a word throughout, but he gazed intently into her eyes.

"Alright, I don’t necessarily have to be Empress. Once things are settled here, I’ll return to Beiming and marry you," she declared.

The tension in his muscles finally relaxed.

He pulled her into his arms again.

"If you wish to be Empress, I can also come to Longteng and stay by your side. But, you must not have a harem of three thousand, nor touch any other man. Otherwise, for every man you touch, I will kill one."

"At that time, Longteng Country will witness a very terrifying serial killer."

If not for the solemn atmosphere of their farewell, Chu Qianli would surely have laughed.

But at this moment, she could not smile.

Feng Yexuan said further, "Give me some time. Jinrui needs to grow up. When he is capable of holding his own, I will accompany you and protect the kingdom of Longteng."

This was his promise.

In truth, Chu Qianli hadn’t yet decided how she wanted to live in the future.

In fact, she didn’t like the political court either, where everyone engaged in constant backstabbing and power struggles.

Now, they could only take one step at a time and calculate as they went.

She stood on her tiptoes, hugged his neck, and pulled him down to accommodate her height.

Her lips close to his ear, she whispered, "I will come to find you."

"That won’t do!" Feng Yexuan simply didn’t trust the situation, gripping her shoulders seriously, "Wait for me, I’ll come to find you."

"Do you think so little of me? Perhaps, I can quickly take over Dragon City."

"Even if you do take Dragon City, you’re not to come looking for me."

Although Dragon City wasn’t too far from Yitie City, with his speed, he could make it there in continuous march for three days and nights without sleep.

But that was him, not her.

If Chu Qianli were to go, it would take at least seven days.

On a seven-day journey, countless dangers lurked on the way, surely remnants of Long Tianliu’s faction would be waiting to deal with her.

Chu Qianli just smiled, gently pushed him: "Go on."

Feng Yexuan pursed his lips and did not delay any longer.

"Wait for me!"

After letting her go, he immediately exited the tent, leapt onto his horse.

The horse had been waiting for a long time, and Fu Ning had already packed his luggage.

Glancing back at Chu Qianli, seeing her use lip language to tell him to be careful, his eyes darkened slightly as he nodded.

Then, he spurred the horse: "Giddy up!"

He rode off swiftly, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

From when the message arrived to Feng Yexuan’s departure, it was merely half an hour.

Even Long Tianliu hadn’t anticipated that their reaction would be so rapid.

He had thought that the so-called lovers would at least cling to each other for a day.

Therefore, Chang Ming’s men that were prepared to ambush Feng Yexuan didn’t even have the chance to make a move when they heard that Prince Yexuan had already left.

Fast as lightning!

The battlefield was still ablaze.

After Feng Yexuan left, the army he previously led came under fierce attack and began losing ground steadily.

Three days later, Wei Qiong arrived with injuries.

"Your Highness, last night at Jicheng, Dragon City’s Royal Army dealt a severe blow to our forces. Should we consider retreating to avoid their sharp edge?"

Jicheng was too close to Dragon City, and previously, with Asura, the War God leading the troops, the sight of him would send the Royal Army into such a panic that their combat effectiveness significantly dropped.

But now, with the news of Asura, the War God’s departure being heavily publicized, the Royal Army’s morale was greatly boosted, and they surged forward unstoppable.

If things continued like this, their brothers would surely be routed.

The impact of a good commander on an army’s effectiveness is evidently immense.

"Your Highness, if Jicheng falls, we won’t be able to hold our ground here either. Should we retreat for the time being?"

"No need," Chu Qianli said, gazing at the map with a focused expression, "we will not only not retreat, but we must also immediately reorganize and set out at once for Dragon City."

"What?" Long Ziyue and Wei Qiong exchanged a glance, both puzzled.

Wei Qiong pressed urgently, "Your Highness, our army numbers just over fifty thousand, while Dragon City has fifty thousand in the garrison outside the city and at least a hundred thousand in the city defense forces. Attacking Dragon City now means facing an army of one hundred fifty thousand. We... have no chance of victory!"

"Then we fight a swift battle," Chu Qianli said as she put away the map, "Listen to me, reorganize the forces, and siege at dawn tomorrow!"

"Your Highness..."

"My mind is made up!"

Chu Qianli waved dismissively, not open to any persuasion.

"Military orders are like mountains, anyone who dares to disobey will face military law!"
