The army was about to march out overnight, and he, the general of Zhennan, would personally lead the expedition this time.
He has been waiting for this opportunity. He wants to represent Dali and the Lu clan to drive the Siamese out of southern Xinjiang.
He had been waiting for this battle for a long time. He was very excited and excited, but at this time, facing Zhou Chi's calm and undefended sleeping face, he felt a deep sense of reluctance in his heart.
Once upon a time, when he left the capital, he felt reluctant to leave, but more of it was filled with pride for the future and relief from the past. However, the reluctance at this time was so unforgettable that he even wanted to stay. In this big tent, he didn't go anywhere, he just kept guarding Zhou Chi.
Even if he did nothing, just watching him sleeping quietly and listening to his long breathing, Lu Zhicheng felt that nothing could be more satisfying and happy than this.
Lu Zhicheng finally knew something was wrong with him. Maybe he had known it for a long time, but he had deliberately not thought about it too much, but now that separation was right in front of him, he could no longer ignore it.
"Zhou Chi, wait patiently for me to come back."
His fingers gently covered Zhou Chi's soft lips. He stared blankly at his fingers and the soft lips under his fingertips. After a while, he suddenly stood up and strode out of the tent.
The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away until everything was silent. In the darkness, Zhou Chi slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were clear and clear. How could he feel sleepy

Jiasheng 28th August 28th
Capital.
Prince Ning's Mansion.
It was getting dark, and Lu Zhishan hadn’t come back yet. Mu Nanzhi was used to it. Lu Zhishan was really busy at this time. Mu Nanzhi was bored waiting at home alone, so he asked someone to invite him. Princess Jing'an came over to keep her company, and Du Heng was too busy to keep his feet wet. As expected, Princess Jing'an came not long after.
As soon as Princess Jing'an entered the house, Mu Nanzhi sent someone to deliver the dinner to the backyard. The two of them ate in the warm pavilion. Princess Jing'an also brought two plates of food cooked by herself.
"Jing'an, why have you always been vegetarian?" Mu Nanzhi was a little surprised when he found out that Princess Jing'an always ate vegetarian dishes.
"I'm going to Miaofeng Mountain to burn incense the day after tomorrow. I've been eating vegetarian food for the past few days." Princess Jing'an explained.
"Miaofeng Mountain?" Mu Nanzhi was startled, looked at Princess Jing'an's reddish cheeks, and immediately smiled, "Oh, I understand, Jing'an, are you going to the Empress Temple to ask for a child?"
Princess Jing'an was a little embarrassed, but she still nodded: "Du Heng will have a rest the day after tomorrow. I want to go to the Empress Temple with him to burn incense."
Mu Nanzhi put down his chopsticks and asked Princess Jing'an with a smile: "Jing'an, didn't you just get married? Why are you so impatient? Tell me, are you anxious or Du Heng?"
"Anle!" Princess Jing'an's face turned even redder. She also threw away her chopsticks and covered the tea with a tea lid while whispering, "I'm twenty-six now, and Du Heng is thirty-seven, of course. I’m anxious, I want to have more babies while I’m still young.”
Mu Nanzhi took a sip of milk tea and was a little dazed. After a while, he sighed softly and said, "Oh, it turns out that Du Heng is already thirty-seven."
Du Heng is one year younger than Lu Zhishan, so Lu Zhishan is already thirty-eight years old.
Mu Nanzhi had never paid much attention to this. When Princess Jing'an suddenly mentioned it, Mu Nanzhi realized that Lu Zhishan was already in his forties, and she was inevitably a little upset for a while.
