Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 2083: Chapter 2084: Unifying the World (13)

Due to the unified determination of Xiyun, nearly four thousand civilians were massacred, and everyone in the army detested Wufeng deeply. Now, everyone is setting out with the determination to destroy Wufeng, comparable to the morale when Xiao Changyi led the troops to flatten Chilin.

On the eve of Su Yi Jing and their departure, Vice Minister Lu Moran couldn’t sleep at all. Instead, she got up, didn’t light a lamp, and just walked to the window by the moonlight, looking at the night sky outside with not a single star, only a bright moon hanging there.

When Lu Moran rose gently, the person on the pillow, An Yizhi, felt it.

An Yizhi opened his eyes, quietly watching Lu Moran’s thin figure by the window for a while. Then he got up, grabbed his coat, walked over to Lu Moran, and as he draped it over her, he embraced her from behind.

Resting his chin on Lu Moran’s shoulder, he chuckled softly in her ear: ”Worried about me so much that you couldn’t sleep?”

Lu Moran said nothing, but she allowed him to hold her.

An Yizhi didn’t insist on her answering. Instead, he continued to chuckle slightly: ”Never seen you care about me, let alone worry about me. I’m going to the expedition tomorrow; can’t you just say you’re worried about me?”

Lu Moran still said nothing, continuing to gaze at the high and chilly bright moon outside the window. At first, she didn’t feel it much, but now, the more she looked at that bright moon, the colder she felt.

Her family saw her talent, and since the imperial grace allowed women to participate in the imperial examinations, her family hoped she would achieve high honors and bring glory to the family. Their care for her was solely to bring glory to their family, not genuine concern for her as a person. But now, the person holding her, who was only genuinely concerned about her without any other motives, is this person.

Now, this person is going to the battlefield...

Unconsciously, the chill in her heart intensified, causing Lu Moran to shiver and hug her arms tightly.

An Yizhi immediately said: ”It’s cold by the window; you’d better not stand here.” With that, he hugged her tighter, using his body to warm her up.

Lu Moran shook her head, indicating she still wanted to stand there.

An Yizhi could only sigh in her ear: ”You’re still so disobedient.”

Lu Moran remained silent.

An Yizhi sighed again, somewhat exaggeratedly: ”If you could say you’re worried about me, I’d surely be overjoyed.”

Lu Moran frowned, clearly not liking him using the word ”death.”

Regardless of whether Lu Moran spoke, An Yizhi continued: ”You really don’t need to worry. Haven’t I told you long ago? My third sister-in-law’s father is the Building Master of the Slayer Tower. With the Slayer Tower’s help, nothing will happen to me.”

After a while, he laughed softly in her ear: ”Even though you haven’t said it, I know you have me in your heart.”

Pausing, he lowly added: ”Moran, when I return, give me a child.”

They’ve been married for over three years, and every time they were intimate, she would take contraceptives. He knew it hadn’t been easy for her to obtain her current official position, and once pregnant, it would be hard to manage her duties. So he always let her have her way, but now he truly wanted to have a child with her, so that even if he were to leave, the child could accompany her.

Finally, Lu Moran spoke: ”As long as you return safely, I won’t take contraceptives anymore.”

This undoubtedly showed she was willing to give him a child. Of course, more than that, it was filled with concern.

An Yizhi was overjoyed.

...

Even though Su Yi Jing and others went to war, and with the assistance of the Slayer Tower, An Jing and Xiao Changyi couldn’t help but worry.

After all, swords are blind.
