The starry sky flickered with light that flickered.
Qi Changyi was so tired that he fell into a deep sleep in Pei Zhenghuai.
Her eyes, red from crying, were now quietly closed. She felt very insecure even in her sleep, and her hands were tightly clutching Pei Zheng's collar.
Pei Zheng carried him back to the bed and laid him gently on the bed. He stroked the red lotus tattoo on his collar with his fingers, and his breathing gradually became unstable.
Then he quickly pulled his fingers back and wrapped the little guy tightly with the quilt again.
Pei Zheng also went to bed, but he didn't dare to enter the warm bed again, otherwise
He pinched his eyebrows, still drunk.
I just reached in and held that small, soft hand under the quilt.
Early the next morning, outside the camp, the soldiers' slogans of getting up and training could be heard, one louder than the other.
Pei Zheng walked out of the tent and squinted his eyes because of the sudden light.
There was a figure in front of him walking straight towards him.
"Hey, you're awake."
Jiang Yubai glanced behind Pei Zheng, "Where's His Highness? Is he still asleep?"
Pei Zheng hummed, frowning slightly, "Too noisy."
Jiang Yubai looked at his impatient expression as if he had not yet woken up, and couldn't help but smile.
Pei Zheng is so down-to-earth.
"Respected Lord Pei, you thought you were in your Prime Minister's Mansion. It's so quiet that it seems like there is no one alive. This is a military camp. We must fight! We must be passionate! We must fight!"
Jiang Yubai deliberately raised his voice for the last two sentences, his pronunciation so clear and loud that it sounded like a slogan.
As expected, this attracted Pei Zheng's cold glance.
Jiang Yubai resumed his normal tone, "Oh, I almost forgot, the third princess came to find you as soon as she woke up, maybe she has something to tell you. She lives in the tent over there, and Master Shen is looking after her."
Jiang Yubai added, "Your Highness, I will take care of this, don't worry."
Pei Zheng went to the tent where Qi Yirou was.
Jiang Yubai first went to get a food box, then quietly walked into Qi Changyi's tent.
As soon as I walked in, I saw a little person sitting by the bed and putting on clothes.
"Your Highness, when did you wake up? Why didn't you ask anyone to come in and serve you?"
As he spoke, Jiang Yubai went over to help Qi Changyi put on his outer robe, and then helped him fasten the laces and buttons.
"I just woke up too. Thank you, Doctor Jiang."
Qi Changyi smiled at Jiang Yubai.
Jiang Yubai muttered quietly, "Yesterday he was calling me Brother Yubai, but today he's calling me Doctor Jiang. He fell out of favor too quickly."
Qi Changyi heard it so clearly that he couldn't help laughing out loud. He suppressed his laughter and said, "Then I will call you Brother Yubai. This way I won't be considered to have fallen out of favor."
Jiang Yubai then smiled triumphantly.
He laid out the food in the lunch box, a bowl of white porridge and a few light side dishes.
"Your Highness, come and have some porridge. You didn't eat last night, so you must be hungry now."
Qi Changyi sat down at the table, took two sips of porridge, and put down the bowl.
"I'm stuffed."
Jiang Yubai glanced at the still full bowl of porridge and pushed it in front of him again.
"Do you have a small stomach? Are you full after eating so little? You should at least eat half a bowl."
Qi Changyi's little face drooped and he touched his belly.
There was nothing inside, but he really didn't feel hungry and had no appetite at all.
"Brother Yubai"
Jiang Yubai couldn't bear to embarrass him any further, "Well, eat two more bites and I'll agree to one of your requests, okay?"
Qi Changyi was finally aroused and nodded, "Okay."
After eating two more mouthfuls of white porridge, Jiang Yubai cleared the things on the table.
Qi Changyi's request was very simple, he just wanted to go out for a walk and take a look outside.
Jiang Yubai put the cloak on him again before allowing him to go out for a walk.
The two men left the tent. The air outside was cold, but fortunately the sun was still bright.
The little man took a deep breath, opened his arms, raised his head, turned around in the sunlight, and felt his heart being warmed.
He walked slowly along the road in front of the tent, and when he saw his soldiers, they stopped what they were doing and knelt on one knee to salute him.
As we walked, the noise gradually grew louder.
Qi Changyi walked to the training ground where the soldiers were training. There were a lot of people gathered inside. It didn't look like they were training. They were sitting in a circle and it was unknown what they were doing.
"Brother Yubai, what are they doing?"
Qi Changyi crossed his feet, grabbed the wooden fence beside the training ground, turned around and asked Jiang Yubai.
Jiang Yubai also walked over and followed him, holding onto the wooden fence and looking inside.
Unfortunately, those soldiers were tall and strong, and neither of them could see anything.
Wu Quan happened to be walking over from behind, and seeing the two sneaky people, he asked curiously, "Your Highness, Doctor Jiang, what are you doing here? If you want to see it, why don't you just go in and see it directly?"
Qi Changyi tilted his head and asked curiously, "Deputy General Wu, can you tell me first?"
Wu Quan explained, "It's nothing, actually. There were just a few recruits who broke military rules this morning and were dissatisfied with the general's punishment. The general is now personally teaching them a lesson and asked everyone to come and watch."
As he was speaking, applause and cheers were heard from inside, and Wu Quan walked in.
Qi Changyi and Jiang Yubai looked at each other and followed Wu Quan's footsteps.
As soon as they walked over, the soldiers automatically made way for them.
Qi Changyi and Jiang Yubai stood together at the innermost layer of the crowd and could see the situation inside clearly.
Zhao Litang took off his battle robe and only wore a red and black training suit, the same as the recruits on the opposite side, but his momentum was overwhelming.
One of the new recruits had already fallen to the ground and was unable to get up for a long time.
The remaining few looked at each other. If they went up one by one, they would definitely have no chance of winning, so they simply cheered together and then swung their fists towards Zhao Litang, who was alone on the opposite side.
There were still some scars on Zhao Litang's face, but they were left from the fight with Pei Zheng last night.
Seeing that the new recruits were very aggressive, Qi Changyi couldn't help but clench his fingers tightly and secretly worried for Zhao Litang.
As a result, Zhao Litang dodged left and right, then punched and kicked, knocking the recruits to the ground in a few strokes.
Suddenly, cheers from the surrounding soldiers were heard again.
"Well done, General!"
"The general is mighty!"
"General! General! General!"
Qi Changyi also cheered happily, and Jiang Yubai was no exception.
Zhao Litang saw the little man standing in the crowd, looked at him from a distance, and his eyes became gentler.
Then he withdrew his gaze and winked at the soldier standing next to him. The soldier quickly took a few swords and knives from the weapon rack and handed them to Zhao Litang.
"With your current abilities, don't even think about defending the country or guarding the borders. You don't even have the qualifications to go to the battlefield!"
Throwing the weapons in his hands in front of several people, Zhao Litang shouted, "Get up! Pick up your weapons! Don't you think it's unfair? Don't you want to go to the battlefield? Then stand up first!"
"War won't wait until you are ready. War may come tomorrow."
The recruits gritted their teeth and stood up again, tremblingly picking up the weapons on the ground, their eyes finally showing a look of unwillingness to admit defeat and determination.
Then, those men rushed forward again with weapons.
Zhao Litang was still unarmed, but after a few rounds, he subdued the new recruits and snatched their weapons.
This time the cheers and applause from the surroundings became even louder.
Qi Changyi smiled and clapped, while shouting along with the crowd.
"General! General! General!"
After shouting twice, Jiang Yubai beside him suddenly disappeared, and another figure approached.
Qi Changyi was still completely unaware of the situation and was happily cheering for Zhao Litang.
This is really irritating to the ears of people nearby.
But when Pei Zheng saw the liveliness and joy on the little guy's face, he seemed to be infected by him, and most of the resentment and jealousy in his heart were dissipated.
But it still needs to be considered.
"Your Highness, are you so happy?"
Pei Zheng leaned close to the little guy's ear and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Some of the soldiers surrounding them saw Prime Minister Pei and the prince, but they all raised their heads high and looked in the direction of Zhao Litang, not daring to look sideways.
The smile on Qi Changyi's face was still on the corner of his eyes. He didn't realize who was asking him the question and just nodded heavily.
"Yeah! Brother Tang is so awesome! He's so great!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a hand appeared at his waist, and with a slight force, it led him out of the crowd.
Qi Changyi didn't understand what was going on. He looked at the hand around his waist, then raised his eyes to look at the owner of the hand, then widened his eyes slightly.
Pei Zheng held him close to his chest and asked with a smile, "So, who is better, him or me? Hmm?"
Qi Changyi felt the hand on his waist slowly kneading him, making his ears turn red. He quickly covered the hand to stop it from moving.
"I, I, I don't know"
Qi Changyi stammered, "You, you have to let me go first"
Pei Zheng saw him looking around and knew that he was afraid of being seen.
There are so many people on this training ground.
Very good.
Pei Zheng wished that they all saw it, that everyone in the world saw it.
"If I don't let go, what are you going to do?"
Pei Zheng lowered his voice and said, "Last night, you begged me to hold you and not let go."
"No, that's impossible! You must be lying to me. I, I wouldn't say that."
Qi Changyi lowered his head, trying hard to recall whether he had said such words last night.
Just as I was thinking about it, the crowd over there seemed to be about to disperse.
Jiang Yubai also slipped out of the crowd, saw Qi Changyi from afar, and greeted him.
"Your Highness, Your Highness"
Although looking from that side, one could only see Pei Zheng standing very close to Qi Changyi, but could not see the hand on his waist.
But Qi Changyi was still very nervous.
The crowd completely dispersed, and this time not only Jiang Yubai, but other soldiers also came towards them.
