Chapter 1431: Chapter 1432: Prince, Are You Sure You’re Not Showing Off?
An Jing clearly understood her husband’s skills. Moreover, she had said what needed to be said and done what needed to be done, so she nodded and replied, "Mm."
After smiling at her husband once more, she closed her eyes to sleep. She was truly a bit exhausted.
Perhaps due to the medicine she drank, her eyelids felt heavy. She really needed a good sleep.
Xiao Changyi sat by the bedside, watching An Jing until she fell asleep, then he left the room.
He sent Qin Yi to bring Tobanya from the female soldiers to be An Jing’s guard, and then Xiao Changyi took Meng Zhuqing with him to the military camp outside the city.
Meng Zhuqing was the happiest about Xiao Changyi assigning Tobanya as An Jing’s guard.
Meng Zhuqing couldn’t help but smile widely. From then on, he could see his wife every day~
Xiao Changyi suddenly turned around, causing Meng Zhuqing, following him, to hurriedly suppress his smile to avoid being seen so happy and changing his mind, preventing his wife from becoming their guard.
Upon reaching the military camp outside the city, Xiao Changyi took out the detailed map of Chilin Kingdom for the generals to review.
The generals were overjoyed and eagerly asked Xiao Changyi how the map had been obtained.
Xiao Changyi glanced at the crowd: "How else would it be obtained? Like most of yesterday’s map of Jingye City, it was An Jing who led people to risk their lives to get it."
The generals: ... Great General, are you sure you’re not showing off your wife?
Meng Zhuqing thought to himself: Indeed! Our Prince is showing off our Lady! He’s always like this! Any achievement by our Lady, he’s unbearably proud, and his own great achievements are not as valuable as a cabbage planted by him! The gap is stark!
Everyone nodded inwardly: The gap is indeed stark.
But, Great General, your emotionless boasting is a bit eerie for us, could you not do that, please?
Xiao Changyi ignored everyone’s reactions and brought out the map of Jingye City again, discussing the matters of siege based on the map.
As explained to An Jing, before besieging the city, some will first be sent to provoke the enemy.
Xiao Changyi originally planned to send ten commanders in sequence to provoke, but after sending just one, that commander learned from the enemy that their Great General was named Ma Da Gong.
On Jingye City’s walls, Ma’s command flag was raised, so everyone knew that the Great General’s surname was Ma but did not know his full name was Ma Da Gong.
Upon hearing Ma Da Gong’s name, Xiao Changyi found it familiar but couldn’t recall who the person was.
Meng Lanqing, however, immediately recognized who Ma Da Gong was upon hearing the name, and said, "Great General, when Xilin City was occupied by Chilin, the Vanguard officer was named Ma Da Gong, very courageous. If I recall correctly, his weapon was a broadsword."
Initially, Meng Lanqing was sent by Xiao Changyi to duel Ma Da Gong, the Vanguard officer, but Meng Lanqing was defeated.
If Meng Zhuqing hadn’t led the troops for timely rescue, Meng Lanqing might have been killed by Ma Da Gong back then.
Later, Xiao Changyi personally took the field, said nothing, and engaged Ma Da Gong, ultimately forcing him to flee.
If Xiao Changyi hadn’t been too lazy to pursue, Ma Da Gong would have been one of Xiao Changyi’s conquered souls.
Upon Meng Lanqing’s reminder, Xiao Changyi finally recalled Ma Da Gong, and said indifferently, "On the day of the siege, leave this person to me, I will handle him personally."
