The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day

Chapter 1404: Chapter 807: War on the Brink (Part 2)

Wu Shen sometimes wonders if the Emperor is looking for trouble.

Knowing full well that the Empress won’t make him happy, he still has expectations of her...

"Your Majesty, aren’t you going to eat?" Wu Shen quickly asked as he watched the Emperor put down his utensils.

"I don’t feel like eating anymore."

"Your Majesty should eat more, especially when campaigning outside, and in the desert, strength is vital. If your strength wanes, I’m afraid the Empress will... " Wu Shen stopped himself abruptly, quickly shutting his mouth.

He definitely didn’t want to live anymore.

He accidentally spoke his mind.

At that moment, he felt the Emperor’s intimidating gaze.

Wu Shen quickly lowered his head.

Stifling silence.

Wu Shen didn’t sense that terrifying gaze and sneaked a glance, only to see the Emperor suddenly pick up his bowl and chopsticks and casually continue eating.

Wu Shen couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Thinking of the Emperor’s expression, he quickly suppressed it.

Serving by the Emperor’s side really is too challenging!

The night deepens.

Aside from the soldiers taking turns on watch, everyone else is asleep.

Xie Qianyun walked into Xiao Luming’s tent.

At that moment, Wu Shen was dozing outside the tent. Seeing the Empress approaching, he hurriedly tried to stand and salute.

"There aren’t so many rules while campaigning outside, rest well," Xie Qianyun said.

"Yes."

Wu Shen sat back down, continuing to doze.

Xie Qianyun entered the somewhat dark tent.

Inside, Xiao Luming was already lying down.

Xie Qianyun glanced over and turned to remove her armor.

Then she walked towards Xiao Luming’s bed.

She carefully climbed onto his bed, lying down beside him.

It had to be said, sleeping on a bed was definitely more comfortable.

She turned to look at Xiao Luming.

He appeared to be sleeping soundly.

Under the dim light, looking at Xiao Luming, she suddenly seemed less angry.

War, inherently uncontrollable.

She was the one being stubborn.

After understanding, Xiao Luming no longer seemed wrong to her.

She suddenly leaned close to Xiao Luming’s cheek and kissed him softly.

Only after did she realize what she’d done.

Xie Qianyun’s face turned slightly red.

But she soon became calm.

She had misunderstood her mother before, and when she realized her mother meant well for her, she felt guilty and had kissed her mother apologetically.

Xie Qianyun lay back beside Xiao Luming.

After a day’s fatigue, she quickly fell asleep.

She was completely unaware of his subtle bodily reactions beside her.

Nor did she notice that as she slept peacefully, the person next to her opened his eyes...

Over the next few days of marching.

It went similarly.

At night, Xie Qianyun would naturally lie beside Xiao Luming to sleep.

At first, Xiao Luming was indeed unaccustomed to Xie Qianyun’s presence, as she was quite restless in her sleep and sometimes... hard to describe. After two to three days, he got used to it, and if she was slightly late, he would inexplicably be sleepless.

After sharing the bed, their feelings heated considerably.

Not quite affectionate, but at least they communicated normally, no longer cold or indifferent.

Much of the journey was complete.

They bypassed the Oasis and directly traversed the desert, heading south of Hebei.

Predictably.

In the next few days, they would be discovered by enemy patrols.

Thus, the Iron Cavalry Army became even more cautious and serious.

Xiao Luming rode his warhorse in a prominent position, flanked by Xie Qianyun and Wu Huahao.

Under the scorching sun.

Beside tall sand dunes, a few nomadic patrol soldiers hid under the dunes, secretly observing the marching troops.

After a long while.

The patrol leader left quietly with a few subordinates.

Soon they reached the Oasis region.

Inside the heavily guarded nomadic camp, the patrol leader reported, "Marshal, while patrolling, I discovered Daxuan Kingdom’s Iron Cavalry Army crossing the desert, heading south of Hebei, seemingly targeting our base!"

The Marshal’s expression changed immediately.

He jumped up from his seat, "Daring to target my base, I won’t spare them!"

"Calm down, Marshal," the Think Tank said beside him. "Could this be a trap? The Daxuan Army is known for its cunning."

The Marshal nodded, calming himself again.

He had clashed with Daxuan’s forces multiple times, and each time they had fallen for Daxuan’s schemes.
