Chapter 1128: Chapter 1127: Midnight Snack 5

At that moment, how could Lu Jiang care about whether to take a bath or not?

He carefully supported his wife’s arm, looking at her large belly beneath her nightgown with awe, wanting to touch it but afraid his dirty hands would leave prints on her clothes.

"Wife, I’m sorry."

It was a sudden statement, but Feng Qingxue understood it and couldn’t help saying, "What are you sorry for? If you say sorry to me every time you go on a mission, you’d end up saying it a thousand, ten thousand times."

"Wife, you are so great!" Lu Jiang didn’t skimp on the praise, suppressing the guilt in his heart, he continued to stare at his wife’s belly, soon becoming happy again, "Two of them, we are about to welcome the third and fourth children, wife, you are so amazing. The comrades in the army must be so envious of me, if dad knew you gave birth to twins, he would be so happy his eyebrows would fly off."

"If his eyebrows flew off, wouldn’t he be bald? How ugly that would be, all bald." Feng Qingxue continued to gnaw on the chicken thigh, "Move aside, I’ll draw a bath for you so you can quickly wash up, don’t disturb me eating meat. These two kids are so greedy, they woke me up in the middle of the night with hunger."

"Yes, yes, two little gluttons!" He agreed with whatever his wife said, without any objection.

After Lu Jiang finished bathing, Feng Qingxue had eaten her fill, washed her hands, and sat on the bed sipping lemon water. Seeing Lu Jiang get on the bed, she pushed the roast chicken, missing two legs, toward him, "You eat it, I won’t put it away in the space."

Without his wife’s secret supplements, and no time for fussing, Lu Jiang had lost a lot of weight and was dark, his cheeks black and red, looking ten years older.

Feng Qingxue felt terribly heartbroken, "What exactly was the mission? Everyone says it’s classified."

Lu Jiang tore off a piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth, "Since it’s classified, you shouldn’t ask. Haven’t I brought the brothers back safely? Although some were injured, no one died, which is a stroke of great fortune in our misfortune."

It was just that there was a slight issue with the border defense line, for which Hen Xiangqian could not shirk the blame.

Even though the battles of the previous years had been overwhelmingly victorious, protecting the integrity of the nation’s territory, the foreigners, deeming their country weak and backward, coveted our vast and fertile land. Thus, they always harbored ill intentions, seizing the opportunity when there were gaps in our defense line to strike.

The so-called gaps emerged during the transfer of positions.

Add to that the resurgence of bandits who had once been eradicated in this highland area, creating a pincer attack.

If Zhao Yong and Su Junlin and other divisional commanders had been present, they could have led troops out to confront the enemy; which one of them lacked military prowess? But during Lu Jiang’s leave, Zhao Yong was sent away on a business trip, Su Junlin happened to fall sick, and a few shirkers didn’t dare take responsibility. Hen Xiangqian, though ill, had to rush back to take charge, so the troops sent an urgent telegram to Lu Jiang to return and manage the situation.

Lu Jiang had no time to settle scores with Hen Xiangqian; on the second day at the unit, he led his men on the mission, with all logistical supplies entirely entrusted to Ouyang Zijin, who had been renamed Ouyang Zijin.

If they had immediately sent reinforcements to prevent the situation from worsening, Lu Jiang wouldn’t have had to waste so much time on this battle.

Even without sending support, reporting the situation to headquarters would have been something, but Hen Xiangqian had not done so, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

These things, Lu Jiang couldn’t tell his wife, and he vaguely said, "There might be some changes in the army soon. If there’s nothing important at work, you should take leave and stay at home."
