Chapter 20 The General's Little Darling
As soon as Xiao Shen left the camp, he quickly organized his soldiers to form a battle formation to meet the enemy.
Ahead, King Qi, clad in armor, personally led his troops into battle. His army was impressive, and the shouts of battle were deafening.
Undeterred, Xiao Shen, wielding his long sword, charged ahead of the enemy.
His figure was agile and his swordsmanship was fierce. Wherever he went, the soldiers of the King of Qi fell one after another.
Upon seeing this, King Qi was enraged and personally swung his sword to attack Xiao Shen.
Xiao Shen's eyes sharpened, and he engaged in a fierce confrontation with the Prince of Qi.
The two exchanged blows with their swords, and for a time it was difficult to determine a winner.
But Xiao Shen fought with increasing ferocity. He spotted an opening in Qi Wang's defenses, unleashed his power, and knocked Qi Wang's sword away with a single stroke. Then, he leaped forward, pulled Qi Wang off his horse, and firmly subdued him on the ground.
"Stop! I've captured the King of Qi!" Xiao Shen shouted.
When the King of Qi's soldiers saw their commander captured, they immediately panicked.
Meanwhile, Ji Xiaosong, still worried about Xiao Shen, quietly summoned Rongrong, sat on her lap, and flew into the sky to overlook the battlefield.
She saw Xiao Shen displaying unparalleled bravery amidst the vast army, successfully capturing the King of Qi alive, and felt both proud and worried.
Once the situation stabilized, Ji Xiaosong and Rongrong quietly returned to their tent to await Xiao Shen's return.
"Rongrong, Xiao Shen's kung fu is really amazing. If I could learn a thing or two from him, it might come in handy if I travel to another world in the future."
Learning kung fu is a good thing, but Xiao Shen might not be willing to teach you.
"What's there to be afraid of? Just keep bothering him."
Ji Xiaosong was still reeling from the scene she had just witnessed on the battlefield; her mind was filled with the image of Xiao Shen's unparalleled bravery.
She will be traveling to many more worlds in the future. If any of those worlds presents risks, having some kind of martial arts skill to protect her will prevent her from being at the mercy of others.
*
Ji Xiaosong was unaware of how Xiao Shen and the others negotiated peace with the Prince of Qi, and she wasn't particularly interested in it.
She waited for Xiao Shen to return for a long time, but there was no movement, so she slowly fell asleep.
The next day, he slept until late morning, but Xiao Shen still hadn't returned.
She didn't know what this man's body was made of, because she rarely saw Xiao Shen resting since she arrived at the military base here.
Even an iron man will eventually break down!
Just as Ji Xiaosong was thinking about how to persuade Xiao Shen to rest after he returned, Li Sanniang lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in.
"Madam, the guards from the General's Mansion in the capital have arrived with supplies," Li San Niang said respectfully.
[Ah Song, this is what you had the guards deliver on the day you set off.]
Rongrong's reminder made Ji Xiaosong remember this matter.
She straightened her clothes, tidied her hair slightly, and said, "Then I'll go see them. They should be the people I arranged beforehand."
But as soon as she lifted the curtain, she was stopped.
"Madam, the general has ordered that you cannot leave the tent," the guard said with a troubled expression.
Ji Xiaosong frowned slightly: "I'm just going to see the guards, not somewhere else."
"Madam, please don't make things difficult for me. I dare not disobey the general's orders."
With the guards refusing to budge, Ji Xiaosong had no choice but to say, "Then go and call the captain of the guard team in."
"This……"
The two guards exchanged glances, pondered for a moment, and then responded, quickly bringing in the captain of the guard team.
The captain of the guards entered the tent, bowed respectfully to Ji Xiaosong, and said, "Madam, all the supplies have been handed over to the deputy general beside the general. In addition, a letter came from the capital inquiring whether you are doing well here. I have already reported back to the capital that you are doing well."
Ji Xiaosong nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."
The captain of the guards said again, "Madam, now that we have arrived here, there is no reason for us to leave. The general is busy with affairs, so we will take care of you from now on."
She can't even leave her tent now, so what is there to protect?
Ji Xiaosong shook her head helplessly, sighed softly, crossed her arms, frowned slightly, and looked annoyed.
“Now that you’ve arrived at the military camp, you should focus your efforts on assisting the army, rather than wasting your manpower here. The war is not yet over, and the army needs manpower,” Ji Xiaosong said solemnly.
The captain of the guards was slightly taken aback, and quickly said, "Madam, protecting your safety is of utmost importance. Moreover, this is also the general's intention."
"What danger could I possibly be in here? Don't be so stubborn, just listen to my instructions." Ji Xiaosong waved her hand; she really didn't need so many people watching over her.
The captain of the guard hesitated for a moment, but finally clasped his hands in a fist and replied, "I will obey your orders, Madam."
A good man should have ambitions beyond his hometown, especially one like him who comes from a military background.
He originally thought that after leaving the army, he could only serve the Xiao family, but unexpectedly he returned to the army.
Staying by Ji Xiaosong's side is nowhere as comfortable as being in the military camp.
After leaving the camp, the captain of the guards went to the main tent where Xiao Shen was to report.
At this moment, Xiao Shen was negotiating with the Prince of Qi with the Crown Prince. The deputy general had no choice but to agree to Ji Xiaosong's request.
Even if Xiao Shen blames her later, won't she still have her wife to appease her?
On the other side.
Ji Xiaosong was incredibly bored in the tent. She had looked at everything in the tent over and over again, but there was nothing new or interesting to be found.
Seeing Ji Xiaosong pacing back and forth listlessly, Li Sanniang said softly, "Madam, why don't you do some needlework to pass the time?"
"Needlework?"
As a lady from a prominent family, the original owner of this body could easily accomplish these things.
Fortunately, among the supplies being escorted this time were several high-quality furs with soft texture and glossy color.
Ji Xiaosong had an idea and decided to make a cloak for Xiao Shen to keep warm.
She summoned Li Sanniang and instructed her, "Bring those furs and prepare needles and thread."
Li San Niang did as she was told, and soon everything was ready.
Ji Xiaosong sat in front of the couch and began to carefully cut and sew.
"Rongrong, will I ever forget your sewing skills in the next life?"
No, the skills you learn on your own in the small world won't disappear.
"I see. The original owner of this body was already skilled in needlework. If I want to make this skill my own, then I need to practice more diligently, right?"
【Yes. 】
Ji Xiaosong breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving Rongrong's affirmative answer.
She isn't greedy when it comes to skills; she'd be satisfied if she could learn just a few in her lifetime.
No matter how much you learn, you may not necessarily master it.
Ji Xiaosong carefully sewed the cloak stitch by stitch, and before she knew it, a day had passed.
As night fell, Ji Xiaosong finally finished the cloak. Looking at her work, she was overjoyed and hoped that Xiao Shen would come back soon to try it on.
Just as Ji Xiaosong was thinking about Xiao Shen, the tent curtain was lifted, and Xiao Shen walked in looking exhausted. Ji Xiaosong quickly got up to greet him.
"My husband, you're finally back." Ji Xiaosong's eyes were full of concern.
