Shi Yue was gently coaxing Ye Lin, who was crying in her arms.

The baby, around ten months old, cried until his eyes were red and his long eyelashes were wet with tears.

A few glistening teardrops trembled on the surface, like butterfly wings covered in morning dew.

His little head turned back and forth, his dark eyes misty with tears, as he looked around anxiously, searching for his father.

Her little mouth trembled uncontrollably, pursing her lips repeatedly, and the cries she made were noticeably hoarse.

Listen closely, and you can hear her sobbing with grievance; her pitiful appearance would melt anyone's heart.

Yi Chen felt a pang of heartache listening to this from outside the window, and pushed open the door to enter.

Shi Yue suddenly turned her head and saw that the group had returned, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sect Master..."

Yi Chen nodded and strode forward, opening his arms to Ye Lin.

"Night has fallen... Father is here...!"

At this moment, he no longer exuded murderous intent, but instead showed tenderness and love for the child.

His eyes were filled with love and heartache!

When Xiao Yelin saw her father, she looked even more aggrieved.

She burst into tears, tears streaming down her chubby little face, and buried her face in her father's arms, sobbing for a long time before finally stopping.

Yi Chen gently coaxed, "Ye Lin, be good... Daddy's here!"

Since Ye Lin's birth, Yi Chen has never relied on anyone else.

He had always personally taken care of everything for Ye Lin, which is why Ye Lin relied on him so much...

Han Zixuan just stood quietly to the side and watched.

After settling everyone in the Dark Night Pavilion at noon, Qin Ying came over excitedly.

"Commander Han...Commander Han...Something's wrong! A sentry has reported that a large number of people from Dongsang Kingdom have gathered thirty miles ahead."

They are heading this way; please, Commandant Han, make the decision!

The Dongsang Kingdom's army hadn't made such a big move before, so why did they fall to the ground?

Han Zixuan raised an eyebrow, having made her decision so quickly.

Good thing they came; a quick victory will save us from any unforeseen complications.

"Deputy General Qin, don't panic. I'll go with you to take a look..."

Vice General Hai and Vice General Li, along with several other officers stationed there, were already waiting in the camp!

Han Zixuan did not express her own thoughts first, but asked the others for their opinions.

"The sentry reports that the army of the Dongsang Kingdom across the way has nearly 50,000 men!"

Moreover, they are all elite troops from the Eastern Sang Kingdom. What are your thoughts on this?

The group exchanged glances, and Qin Ying spoke first, "Commander Han... although we currently outnumber the Dongsang army."

But we can't act rashly; it's better to plan carefully..."

She meant that it was best to remain conservative... After saying that, she turned her head and looked at Han Zixuan's expression.

But no one could see any expression on Han Zixuan's face.

Han Zixuan turned to look at Vice General Li, whose eyebrows furrowed.

He said, "Hmph, since there are more of us, what's there to be afraid of?"

They shamelessly flaunt their power on our Fenglin territory.

If we don't teach them a lesson, they'll never know who's in charge!

Qin Ying looked bitter. "If a fight really breaks out, wouldn't the surrounding people suffer?"

Let's observe the situation first and then decide..."

"What's the point of observing them when they're being ridden on your neck... Just beat them up!"

"Hey……"

Han Zixuan then looked at Vice General Hai.

"Vice Admiral Hai, what do you mean?"

Vice General Hai looked around at Vice General Li and Qin Ying.

After a long pause, he looked intently at Han Zixuan.

"In my opinion... both Vice General Li and Vice General Qin have their own valid points!"

However, now the Eastern Sang Kingdom has come to bully us right at our doorstep.

If we do nothing, the people of Dongsang Kingdom might take advantage of our kindness.

Therefore, I believe that a battle is inevitable..."

Han Zixuan nodded in satisfaction and spoke with a serious expression.

"Yes, others have already slapped you in the face. If you don't retaliate, what face will Fenglin have left!"

"The Eastern Sang Kingdom has been plotting for a long time and is eyeing my Fenglin with covetous intent. If we allow them to burn, kill, and plunder on my Fenglin territory, we will be in serious trouble."

This is a provocation against the dignity of our entire Fenglin Kingdom. If our enemy retreats this time...

How will the people of Fenglin view us from now on...?

The people in the tent were instantly furious, their fists clenched tightly.

Qin Ying lowered her head somewhat uncomfortably...

"Since the Eastern Kingdom is so arrogant, let's teach them a lesson..."

Lieutenant General Li led 20,000 men to ambush the city from the east, where the area was the most open.

If they try to escape, we'll send them straight to meet the King of Hell.

Vice General Hai, you will lead 10,000 archers to prepare on the city wall.

Listen to my instructions and strive to inflict heavy losses on the Eastern Sang Kingdom as soon as possible.

Deputy General Qin, you will lead 10,000 men to provide support in the forest to the west.

As the people of Dongsang approached the city, they cut off their only escape route from behind…

Han Zixuan looked at the topographical map from before the New Year and made arrangements one by one until late at night!

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the room door, they saw Shi Yue and Liu Xing guarding the room.

Han Zixuan raised an eyebrow slightly and asked softly, "Is something the matter?"

Shi Yue said with a serious expression, "Miss Han, would you mind having a word with me in private?"

In a secluded corner, Han Zixuan looked around and spoke.

"There's no one here, you can speak now!"

Among the people in the Dark Night Pavilion, Han Zixuan most respected Shi Yue.

While in the Han family, he was exceptionally capable, highly skilled in martial arts, and knew how to maintain proper boundaries.

I even had the idea of ​​digging him up, but I didn't expect that they had their own reasons for coming to the Han family!

Unexpectedly, he inadvertently brought Shi Yue and other top assassins from the Dark Night Pavilion to his home as guards!

It's truly amazing how coincidences happen in this world...

Shi Yue, unlike her usual expressionless face, wore an unusually distressed expression.

He bowed deeply and said, "Lady Han... what happened before was our Dark Night Pavilion's fault. This subordinate apologizes to Lady Han here!"

Han Zixuan frowned and quickly helped the person up. "Isn't it said that all of this is in the past?"

"Didn't you say you were coming over? Why are you doing this now?"

Why are we suddenly bringing up the past again?

"Lady Han, I know that our Dark Night Pavilion owes you a great deal."

If it weren't for your timely rescue, I'm afraid...

You saved our Pavilion Master twice, making you the benefactor of our entire Dark Night Pavilion.

Moreover, I also heard from Qin Su and the others that the Pavilion Master and Lady Han have already expressed their feelings for each other and want to take the Pavilion Master back to the capital…

After saying that, he looked straight at Han Zixuan.

I want to hear a definite answer.

Han Zixuan nodded, "Yes! This matter was too dangerous. In order to give Yichen and Yelin a stable life."

So I want to take him and the child back to Kyoto!

"Your Dark Night Pavilion has suffered a severe blow; you can no longer stay in Fengyang County. Let's return to the capital together!"

She never intended to hide this matter; it was bound to happen sooner or later.

Shi Yue tentatively inquired, "Then, in what capacity will our Pavilion Master and Young Master accompany you back to the capital?"

Why bring a man back for no reason? Are we supposed to make our sect leader serve as a king without any title or status?
