Chapter 995: Chapter 795: Taking Command Again

The Emperor looked at Ye Ge and then directly expressed his purpose, "Tuoba Lie has now raised an army and is preparing to attack Shangzhi City. He demands that we hand over Nan Feng within seven days, otherwise he’s going to take serious action."

Ye Ge and Nan Feng were both stunned, looking at each other for a good while. Finally, Nan Feng turned to ask the Emperor, "Does Your Majesty plan to hand over Nan Feng? Sacrificing one person, Nan Feng, could assure peace for all, a perfect plan. But Nan Feng would rather die than comply."

Ye Ge stopped Nan Feng from saying more, gently pulling her behind him, then addressing the Emperor, "What does Your Majesty plan to do?"

The Emperor first looked at Nan Feng behind Ye Ge, her gaze always so cold and disdainful, causing a wave of heartache and loss in the Emperor’s heart.

Once back in the Palace, she was full of hostility towards him.

After a while, the Emperor shifted his gaze from Nan Feng to Ye Ge in front of him, "What I mean is, we definitely will not hand over Nan Feng. Nan Feng is not an object, not something to be given away at will."

Ye Ge nodded, "Your Majesty is wise."

"But..." the Emperor said, looking at Ye Ge, "once war breaks out, a competent general is indispensable. Although Lu Jianxi can hold for a while, I want to settle this quickly, so I plan to send you to the north to take command once again."

Going to war again?

Nan Feng immediately looked at Ye Ge.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Ge made up his mind, "Nan Feng is the woman under my protection, naturally, I’ll take command. I agree with Your Majesty’s decision. But..."

Ye Ge looked at Nan Feng, "I want to take Nan Feng with me to Shangzhi City."

Nan Feng also firmly said, "That’s right. Wherever Ye Ge goes, I go. If he lives, I live. If he dies, I die!"

The Emperor’s face remained calm, but his heart was actually in turmoil.

He didn’t say anything more and turned to leave the courtyard.

...

The news of war in the north had already spread throughout Capital City.

The last time Ye Ge went off to war, Capital City was exceptionally lively, everyone bidding farewell to Ye Ge, saying he was the hope of Dajin.

But this time, opinions were mixed.

The men said this war was entirely because of a woman. If it weren’t for Nangong Ye’s woman lowering herself, this war would not have started again.

The women said that Ye Ge’s fury was for the love of a beautiful woman, and that it was natural for him to protect his own. He was fighting for his own cause.

When the troop left Capital City, Ye Ge rode a tall horse in the front, and Nan Feng followed in a carriage behind.

Many people wanted to catch a glimpse of Nan Feng’s true face, wondering who this woman who had caused strife between two nations truly was, whether she was as beautiful as a heavenly fairy.

But Nan Feng’s carriage was tightly closed, with guards on both sides, and no one could see Nan Feng.

Inside the carriage, Nan Feng could hear the people outside chattering away. She kept silent, simply sitting quietly.

The intent of returning to Capital City this time was to hope for a quiet life in the future, but unexpectedly, it had led Ye Ge back to square one.

This time, however, Ye Ge had her companionship.

She touched her belly and whispered, "Baby, we’ll definitely be okay."

...

Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Crown Prince had been busy recently, and Nan Nini was unaware of what he was busy with.

After all, it was official business, and Nangong Nini couldn’t be bothered to inquire any further. Just like when she was a child, her father was always preoccupied with one thing or another, and so was Ye Ge, so she had to find her own amusements.
