After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

Jin Chu didn't care about the cold, hurriedly put on an outer robe and ran out. In the twilight of the night, under the dim candlelight, a mighty and tall young man in armor strode towards them.

"Su Cheng'an!" The girl called out in surprise, her eyes were watery and bright, and her face was full of smiles.

"Ajin, I'm back!"

Looking at his beloved whom he hadn't seen for more than half a month, Su Cheng'an quickened his pace to the door, and then touched the girl's delicate forehead with his cold fingers, which made her subconsciously retract her head and complain dissatisfiedly.

"Your hands are so cold!"

Su Cheng'an smiled with the look of triumph. He looked the girl up and down before his words turned into a concerned rebuke. "You know it's cold, yet you come out without any clothes? It's winter, and water freezes instantly. Are you planning to freeze yourself to death just to earn my pity?"

"I just heard you coming back, and I was so anxious that I didn't care to put on so many clothes before going out."

Jin Chu blushed slightly and explained in a low voice, moving her feet which were not wearing cotton socks.

This small action was seen by all the young men who were watching her.

Looking at the pair of smooth and white feet, Su Cheng'an swallowed unconsciously twice. He subconsciously wanted to hug the girl inside the door. When his hand was halfway out, the cold light of the armor flashed, causing him to shrink back suddenly, feeling half itchy and half ashamed.

"I'm wearing armor and can't hug you. Be obedient and go back to bed. If you keep teasing me like this, you might not be able to get out of bed tomorrow!"

The young man's voice was slightly irritated.

Being able to joke with her like this must mean that everything is fine in the army.

Jin Chu felt relieved and obediently turned back to her room and went to bed. She smiled at the young man and said, "I returned home early in the afternoon. I waited for a long time but there was no movement. I thought you wouldn't be back today!"

"Since I promised Ah Jin that I would come back today, I will naturally do everything I can to come back."

As he spoke, Su Cheng'an closed the door and went into the house, and began to take off his armor. There was a rustling sound, and the armor on his body was taken off.

Su Cheng'an smiled at Jin Chu, and the mighty and handsome young general turned into the leisurely and contented young man from a noble family in an instant.

"I smell like a prostitute. I'm going to go wash myself first, or else Ah Jin won't let me get in bed."

Jin Chu ignored his joke and asked seriously, "Have you had dinner yet?"

Su Cheng'an returned in a hurry without taking off his armor. Something must have happened in the army today. He was in such a hurry that he might not have time to eat dinner.

As if in answer to her question, the young man's stomach rumbled twice. Jin Chu was stunned, and then they both laughed.

"My stomach has answered for me, so I guess Ajin doesn't need me to tell him anymore!" Su Cheng'an touched his nose and said self-deprecatingly.

"Then what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you, but make me aware that I can't make anything too difficult." As he spoke, Jin Chu put on his clothes and got out of bed.

"I'm not picky about food, as long as there's something to eat. Ah Jin, you don't have to go yourself. It's too cold outside, and I don't want you to go out again."

"Okay, then I'll have the girls go to the small kitchen and see if there's anything to eat. Go wash up first!"

Su Cheng'an nodded and went to wash up.

Jin Chu arrived at the door and waved to the maid in the side room outside. Yuying, who was on duty tonight, came over.

"Go to the small kitchen and see if there's anything to eat. If there is, bring a bowl to the prince, no matter what it is." Jin Chu whispered.

Su Cheng'an felt sorry for her and didn't let her go out, so she didn't go out to cause trouble.

Yuying nodded and left.

A moment later, she came over with a lunch box containing a bowl of chicken and yam porridge, two side dishes, one meat and one vegetable, and three steaming white buns.

This is enough for Su Chengan to eat until he is 80% full!

Jin Chu was satisfied and waved Yuying away. "Put the things here for now. Come back tomorrow to collect them! When you're done with this, go to the side room and rest. Just don't sleep too deeply. I'll call you if there's anything. You don't have to stay awake and wait here. We don't torture servants in our yard."

Yuying responded happily and turned to leave.

As soon as she left, Su Cheng'an, who had just washed up, came out. Smelling the fragrance of the food, the young man smiled even more and sat down with the food.

"It smells so good!"

"If it smells good, eat it quickly, or your stomach won't protest anymore!"

Jin Chu smiled and joked, then walked behind him and took a clean cotton towel to help him twist his half-dry long hair.

"Ajin, do you want some more?"

"No, I had a full dinner and I'm not hungry yet. You can eat as you please."

After hearing this, Su Cheng'an buried his head in eating.

He moved quickly but gracefully. He finished half a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns in no time, and then slowed down his eating.

Seeing that he had almost finished eating, Jin Chu asked him the question in his mind.

"What happened to you today?"

"It's a happy event, really. Since the beginning of winter, the Di people have been invading the border from time to time. Although they haven't made any major moves, they have been disturbing the people. Whenever the soldiers are dispatched, those small groups of Di people will roam away. This has caused panic in several nearby villages, and the soldiers in the army are also very angry."

"So, I devised a plan to lure the snakes out of their lair, and I annihilated over 4,000 Di people. I also unexpectedly obtained over 4,000 fine horses."

When talking about the fine horses, Su Cheng'an couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Due to various conditions in ancient times, horses were valuable and the number of war horses was extremely limited. Even at special times, you might not be able to buy a war horse even if you had money.

Although Su Cheng'an's victory in annihilating more than 4,000 Di people is commendable, it is nothing compared with these more than 4,000 fine horses.

The army was busy cleaning the war horses in the first two days, and busy with the military competition in the training ground these two days. The reward was these more than 4,000 war horses.

The soldiers in the army were all ready to fight, trying their best. No matter if they were good brothers or real brothers, they were fighting with red faces and thick necks just for the warhorse they loved.

Today is the last day of the competition. As the commander-in-chief, Su Cheng'an must be present in person to uphold justice.

It was already dark when the competition was over. Thinking of Ajin who was waiting for him in the mansion, Su Cheng'an refused the soldiers' offer of food and even did not bother to take off his armor. He rode his horse back to the palace.

Jin Chu was delighted, and her eyes were filled with affection as she looked at Su Cheng'an. She hugged the young man from behind and praised him generously: "My young master is truly wise and brave, a good young man who defends our country!"

The young man, who had been accustomed to hearing compliments since childhood, couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth when he heard such straightforward praise from his sweetheart.

He was about to say something else when he heard the girl behind him push him back again and sighed softly, "What a pity, such a good young man has fallen into my arms!"

Su Chengan burst out laughing. He pointed at Jinchu with a doting look on his face, "Didn't someone say that? A life-saving favor should be repaid with one's own life! I'm just repaying the kindness that Miss Jin saved me when I was in the outskirts of Lincheng!"

Jin Chu's beautiful eyes flickered as she thought of the person he was talking about. She then said mischievously, "If that's the case, then you have to go out and kneel on the stone slab!"

The young man turned around and took the initiative, hugging the soft girl. He lowered his head and deeply inhaled the girl's unique fragrance, whispering: "Ajin, please be kind. This time, I will not kneel on the stone slab, but on the bed board. Can you please?"

After saying this, without waiting for the girl's reaction, he walked straight into the bed.

The tent is filled with the beauty of spring, and a pair of lovers are attracted by the east wind. What a pair, with deep love!
