Chapter 603: Chapter 603 Three Obediences and Four Virtues(4)_1

However, even though he loathed their actions, he couldn’t help but worry about them. His Imperial Father was furious, his Imperial Mother under house arrest, and Zhao Yang was being forced into a political marriage. Both of them were currently treading cautiously, their situations precarious. He couldn’t stand idly by, after all, they were the relatives who had been with him for more than twenty years.

"Wei’er!"

There was a hint of apology in Nangong Yi’s voice, "I apologize on their behalf, I know they have treated you very unfairly, but they are my family. I can’t ignore them. However, I can promise you, they will never target you again, I won’t give them the chance!"

Cai Wei quietly responded with a ’hmm’, thinking to herself, ’I won’t give them the opportunity again either!’

Even if they were Nangong Yi’s relatives, she wouldn’t indulge them limitlessly. The last time they schemed against her, she let it pass out of respect for him. If there was a next time, regardless of who it is, she wouldn’t hold back.

It was getting late. Nangong Yi had to lead his troops early the following morning. Not wishing to disturb his rest, Cai Wei rose to take her leave, intending to return to the city.

Nangong Yi stood up as well, insisting on escorting her home. Unable to dissuade him, she followed him out of the tent, one after the another.

In the middle of the night, the army camp was quiet. All the soldiers maintained military discipline and were resting in their tents. Torches were lit everywhere outside the tents, the patrolling soldiers looked serious and attentively patrolled the camp, ensuring that everyone could sleep peacefully.

This was Cai Wei’s first visit to a soldiers’ camp. Though she hadn’t witnessed a battlefield between two nations’ soldiers, through Nangong Yi’s explanations, she realized that ancient warfare was different from what she had imagined.

Back when she was still in the modern world, she’d seen battle scenes in historic dramas. First, someone would challenge, then the two commanders would engage in personal combat, followed by the armies charging forward. However, there were people giving commands, bugle calls, and military flags. At that time, she thought, why do they need command? Fight if you can, if you can’t, just run away.

"What you’re describing is a brawl, not a war!"

Nangong Yi laughed at her perspective, noticing her interest in military matters, he explained to her some basics of warfare.

The two of them chatted and walked, unknowingly reaching the outer part of the camp. They saw Chai Feng had already prepared the horse carriage and was sitting on the carriage, waiting to take Cai Wei home.

"Nangong Yi, you have to lead the soldiers out tomorrow. Don’t bother sending me, let Chai Feng do it instead."

The corner of Chai Feng’s mouth twitched and he nearly toppled off the carriage.

To be called Chai Feng by this woman...

Nangong Yi took her hand and pulled her into the carriage.

"While leading the army is important, my beloved Madam is more important. If something were to happen to her, what would be the point of me fighting this war?"

Once inside the carriage, Nangong Yi held Cai Wei on his lap and cuddled her.

When they were in the tent earlier, he was too shocked by his Imperial Mother and Zhao Yang’s situation to be affectionate with her. He had to leave early the next morning, and he had no idea when he could see her next, so he had to take this chance to be close with her to ease his future longing.

Cai Wei was blushing, sitting in his arms, letting his lips roam her soft, white cheeks, neck, and finally settling on her tender lips.

This time, he was much better than yesterday, no longer blindly forceful, but well-balanced and measured in his advances and retreats.
