Chapter 1002: Chapter 802: They Have Started Fighting Already

But as the city gates opened, the first person to charge in on horseback was not a soldier but Ye Ge, mounted on the towering Chasing Wind, followed by a sea of cavalry, while the city walls bristled with dense ranks of archers, presenting a formidable display.

"The Emperor of Dajin really has guts, actually going to start the battle?" Tuoba Lie shouted to Ye Ge, "Where is my woman?"

"She is not your woman, there is not a single lady in Dajin who belongs to you, if you insist on taking by force, then we will meet in battle!" Ye Ge, mounted on his horse, was fierce and unyielding.

The brink of war had been reached.

Tuoba Lie’s heart hardened, and he coldly declared, "Fine, it seems this battle is inevitable. Brothers, charge, take down this broken city!"

Ye Ge too pointed his sword towards the enemy, "Brothers of Dajin, fight!"

In a moment, arrows flew wildly, the battlefield erupted with shouts and the clashing of swords, mingled with the sounds of flesh being torn apart, as the stench of blood infused the air.

Lady Nan Feng in the distant Yamen felt nauseous.

She could hardly stomach half a bowl of the duck blood soup today. As soon as Song Cheng came back from outside, she asked him, "Lord Song, how is it outside? Has the battle begun?"

Song Cheng shook his head, then nodded, "The battle has started!"

It had truly begun.

Although Ye Ge might not necessarily lose, such a battle would lead to countless deaths and injuries.

Lady Nan Feng touched her belly, not expecting that the birth of this child would be accompanied by war and amidst piles of white bones.

"Nan Feng, why aren’t you eating? If you can’t stomach duck blood soup, try some vegetables, or even cured meat, but you can’t eat nothing. You are carrying a child, you can’t starve the little one."

But Lady Nan Feng had no appetite, she put down her chopsticks after biting halfway through a piece of cured meat, then asked Song Cheng again, "Lord Song, do you think we have done something wrong in this war? Should I not just try to survive, should I actively go to Dashun to sacrifice myself and thus stop this war?"

Song Cheng saw Lady Nan Feng’s guilt and comforted her, "Lady Nan Feng, you mustn’t think like this. This war indeed started because of you, but you are not some object to be traded. We in Dajin raise these soldiers so that when they are needed, they can stand up to protect the dignity of Dajin. If we can’t even protect a lady, what dignity is there in Dajin, right? Sacrifice on the battlefield is inevitable, but since they chose to be soldiers, they should have anticipated such a day would come. It’s their duty; otherwise, why would we maintain an army?"

Lady Song agreed, "Yes, you really mustn’t feel guilty."

Nan Feng then asked, "Are the people in Shangzhi City still safe now?"

"Some left, but the rest are those who were too lazy to move or didn’t have the money to leave, so they simply stayed."

"Then what are they living on? Haven’t they just returned not long ago?"

"They are planting a batch of potatoes right now, but strangely enough, this batch doesn’t seem to be growing well, and we don’t know the reason."

Lady Nan Feng thought for a while and then said to Song Cheng, "I have grown potatoes in the countryside before and understand a thing or two about crops. How about this, I’ll go with you to have a look?"

"You want to go? That’s not a good idea, General Nangong has repeatedly instructed us to ensure your safety, he worries about the infiltration of nomads here, and besides, you are pregnant," Song Cheng naturally was worried, as Ye Ge had entrusted him to take care of her.
