The stunning husband is in love, but she flirts and runs away

Chapter 69: The Connection Between Father and Daughter

"My Lord...Tomorrow at the city gate, when the Marquis reviews the troops, he asks you to blow the assembly horn. I hope you will be prepared." Bai Jing stood there for a long time and still did not leave.

Looking at the face of the Crown Prince becoming increasingly thinner in just a few days, even if Bai Jing didn't want to speak anymore, he couldn't ignore the Marquis' instructions.

"Okay... I understand..."

After Bai Jing left, Xiao Jue had to sit up from the armchair with difficulty.

Thinking that he would go south with his father tomorrow, he wanted to see his mother again.

It is said that mother and son are connected by heart, which is absolutely true. It seemed as if Lady Jingyuan Marquis had a premonition and had already prepared a set of armor and military uniform for her son to wear when he went to war.

Thinking about how this military uniform that she had carefully kept for more than twenty years looked like when it was worn by the young Marquis Jingyuan, the wife of Marquis Jingyuan suddenly reached out and touched the worn collar.

"Mother..." Xiao Jue, who came in, happened to see this scene.

"Come quickly... Mother has already prepared the military uniforms for tomorrow." Lady Jingyuan took her son's hand and touched the clothes in front of her...

"Remember that time...your father was as young as you are now, both were hot-blooded and brave men, and it was his first time to go to the battlefield, and he wore this uniform. That time he fought bloody battles and finally returned victorious...This time, you have to wear it too, and then be invincible like your father, and stand in front of mother safely and intact."

Xiao Jue shed tears silently upon hearing this, and said to his mother with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely live up to your expectations and return triumphantly!"

The moment I bowed my head...

Xiao Jue held his mother's hands tightly.

He knew in his heart that this time he went south, it would take at least three years, or at most five years, and he might not be able to come back.

......

The next day.

The city gates are wide open.

Inside the city gate were nearly 50,000 onlookers who had come to see him off.

Outside the city gate, 250,000 soldiers who were marching south stood in line at the gate.

The capital city of Kyoto had not seen such a grand ceremony for many years. The emperor and a group of ministers gathered at the city gate to boost the morale and cheer for the commander of the army, Marquis Jingyuan, and the hundreds of thousands of troops assembled under the city wall.

Marquis Jingyuan raised his arm and shouted, and the soldiers under the city shouted together: "Defend our country! Suppress the rebels! Defend our country! Suppress the rebels..."

The clinic where Lin Acai was working was actually not far from the city gate. At this moment, the shouts of the soldiers resounded through the sky, shocking the heavens.

So she naturally heard it clearly.

The two little kids were so moved by the shouting that they started shouting along.

After the shouting died down, the two children suddenly looked at Lin Acai curiously and asked, "Second sister...the noise outside is so powerful, what do those people mean by that?"

Lin Acai patiently explained: "Fubao Kangbao... those are the shouts of soldiers who are about to go into battle. They are about to go to the battlefield."

"Screaming?" The two little kids seemed to understand what their second sister said.

"Oh, I haven't heard this sound for many years..." Shopkeeper Liu, who was keeping accounts, paused holding the brush, shook his head and sighed.

Lin Acai glanced in the direction of Shopkeeper Liu, then turned to look out the window.

The clouds today were particularly beautiful. Lin Acai was heading towards the direction where the sound came from, passing through the bell on the corner of the eaves.

Hundreds of thousands of troops went to war, so many soldiers, so many families... everyone was praying silently and waiting for their safe return.

Just thinking about this absentmindedly.

A long and distant horn sound gradually came...

Could it be.

Is this the rallying cry?

Thinking of this, Lin Acai suddenly felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen.

strangeness.

This pain actually made her heart ache as well.

Then, just when I felt the pain in my lower abdomen was less severe, I discovered that the horn seemed to have stopped as well.

Then, whenever the horn sounded, her stomach would still hurt.

And so on...over and over again.

It’s so strange, why does my lower abdomen hurt when the horn is blown?

Lin Acai was actually starting to get scared at this time.

Good boy…

You must not scare me. You must be fine and nothing can happen to you, okay?

Just when Lin Acai was feeling uneasy, the sound of the horn finally stopped completely.

On top of the city wall.

All eyes are on you.

Xiao Jue held the horn in both hands and his father took it.

Then, he looked at his father and shouted loudly with a firm gaze:

"The army is ready, please give the orders!"

Marquis Jingyuan: "All the soldiers under the city wall, listen up! Set out immediately!"

Several hours later, the mighty army of hundreds of thousands disappeared completely from outside the city gates of Kyoto.

Lin Acai looked at the rolling dark clouds in the sky and was suddenly speechless. The weather was so good just now, why did it suddenly become cloudy?

"My Lord...according to your instructions, all the food and fodder loaded on the carriages have been wrapped in layers of oil paper that we prepared in advance."

Bai Jing secretly felt fortunate that the prince had prepared for a rainy day and had them prepare thousands of sheets of oil paper in advance, so that they would not be caught in a heavy rain and suffer unnecessary losses.

However, the rain came suddenly and went away quickly, and it was accompanied by strong winds, which overturned more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages with carriage covers that were accompanying the army.

When the guards of the Marquis' Mansion reported this to Xiao Jue, Xiao Jue ran towards the carriages almost like crazy.

Then, looking at the extremely miserable scene of dozens of carriages in front of him, Xiao Jue's eyes suddenly went dark!

When you open your eyes again.

It feels like the whole world has gone dark...

Seeing that the prince was alone, he got into the carriages and searched like crazy. All the guards stood there anxiously, not knowing what was going on.

It was not until they saw the prince flipping out a wooden box from one of the carriages that they suddenly realized what was going on.

"..."

Could it be that this wooden box contains something very important?

Could it be a military talisman?

Bai Jing: ...Don't make blind guesses, it's not a military token at all.

That's the thing that the prince loves his beloved girl...

The prince slowly opened the wooden box in front of everyone.

All the guards held their breath...

Waiting to see what the legendary tiger talisman looks like.

But you have to wait and wait.

What are you waiting for?

A purse...
