In this moment, Jing Wan’s heart was nevertheless unusually indifferent, just like as if having seen a lot and just becoming unconcerned.
“What are you thinking about?” Li Hong Yuan’s hand lightly brushed past her face.
Jing Wan was startled, returning to her senses, a moment later, finally revealing a shallow smile, “You’re back?” Seemingly not noticing the blood and the still lingering dark aura around him.
Jing Wan’s startled look was too obvious, to want to overlook was all impossible. Reasonably speaking, in this kind of environment, it shouldn’t be like this.
“What is Wan Wan thinking about, to be this lost in thought?” After all, it was the first time truly facing this kind of scene. Li Hong Yuan was a bit worried that Jing Wan won’t be able to withstand. Even if when meeting her in the past, she was that fearless, determined and strong, it was still after having experienced through hardships. No one was naturally born able to adapt to this kind of situation.
“Nothing.” In reality, Jing Wan indeed wasn’t thinking of anything. It was just being absentminded, or rather the mind blank. Afterwards, she finally noticed in hindsight the abnormality on Li Hong Yuan, “Wangye, this is ‘sending the buddha all the way to the west’?”
“Someone was courting death on their own. This husband merely did a good thing for a change, sending them on their way.”
If they were to hear you say this, those that died at your hands would probably cry.
However, this had nothing to do with Jing Wan, “Did you get hurt?” She pulled him over to examine from head to toe, unsure whether the blood on him was his own or someone else’s. However, after careful inspection, the places stained with blood, the clothes underneath seemingly were all undamaged.
“Rest assured, didn’t sustain injuries, the skin not even getting scraped.”
Jing Wan finally relaxed a breath and nodded. Although she knew that his martial art skills were outstanding, and moreover, his experience on the battlefield was also very rich, but when fighting in battle, there was ten thousand changes in an instant. Moreover, that was never a place that displayed individual heroism. As such, so long as he doesn’t safely return, that heart will just be suspended in midair.
“Go back?” Because Jing Wan knew what he went to do, that’s why, certain things on him that made people fear weren’t restrained, but Jing Wan wasn’t any different from usual towards him. Regarding this bit, Li Hong Yuan was still quite happy. However, it ultimately wasn’t that comfortable. Regardless whether it was Wan Wan or himself, it was all the same. That’s why, going back as soon as possible to wash up and change the clothes was very necessary.
“En.” Jing Wan nodded, voluntarily holding Li Hong Yuan’s hand.
Li Hong Yuan’s gaze slightly flickered. His wife today was seemingly a bit clingy. If switch with before, under the circumstances of having outsiders present, she won’t act this intimately. Even if he wants to be a bit closer, she perhaps would just smilingly avoid. Li Hong Yuan silently held her hand, leaving with her. And Jing Wan also closely followed behind, appearing very quiet.
At this point, to still say there was nothing, then Li Hong Yuan, this husband, was just a husband in vain. However, Li Hong Yuan probably can also guess the reason behind Jing Wan’s current state. In the end, it was still because it was ‘the first time’.
Li Hong Yuan wanted to prop up a piece of sky for Jing Wan, wanting for her to be carefree without worries, healthy and safe for life.
However, letting Jing Wan go experience some things that ordinary people all aren’t able to withstand from time to time seemingly appear very contradictory, but carefully thinking it over, it seemingly wasn’t hard to explain either. Li Hong Yuan ultimately was different, and also very clear, Jing Wan wasn’t that kind of dodder flower. Accompanying for life, how was he not necessarily the same as Jing Wan, wanting to let the other party stand alongside oneself. That’s why, when Jing Wan wanted to learn and come in contact with even more things, he unhesitantly gave her all his support and assistance, and not, not let her know anything, completely having her treated as a canary, not coming in contact or learning about the slightest danger.

Emotionally, as well as towards her as a person, he had absolute possessive desire, but aside from this, he wasn’t building a narrow cage, but rather a vast and endless ‘battlefield’ for her to freely spread her wings and run about.
Towards Jing Wan’s current state, Li Hong Yuan wasn’t able to give enlightenment very well with words, so might as well not with the futile effort.
The plan to go back was also temporarily placed aside, taking her to casually stroll around nearby. The place they were at right now wasn’t considered far from Qi Yuan’s camp. In a way, it was just by the side. And at this time, there were quite a few people busily running back and forth, because they’d already received Fu Yun Ting’s order to pack up the camp and move forward fifty li.
Li Hong Yuan pulled along Jing Wan, directly entering the camp. Fortunately, the first person to run into them had seen Li Hong Yuan before in the beginning. Otherwise, afraid they simply wouldn’t have been able to enter.
Seeing this living ancestor, he naturally didn’t dare to say anything. Although he didn’t participate in the previous battle, it didn’t mean that he didn’t receive any news at all. Didn’t you see that this one right now was still covered in blood.
Because he didn’t know what the other party wanted to do, and also worried that there will be comrades that don’t recognize Jin Qinwang thus accidentally offending him, and thereby cause unnecessary trouble for him, he could only harden his head and follow after. In the end, this was still a qinwang of one’s own country, even having displayed himself as such on the battlefield, so presumably, absolutely won’t do anything that will endanger Qi Yuan.
Li Hong Yuan’s pace was pressed relatively slow, just that quietly walking along, not saying anything.
The army camp, this kind of place, for women, was absolutely off-limits. Jing Wan believed that if not for Li Hong Yuan, she perhaps would’ve never been able to set foot in. Towards a completely unfamiliar place, she naturally also carried strong curiosity.
Of course, looking into the distance, it was just big and small tents, right now, currently getting swiftly dismantled by the people in charge of logistics.
Unknowingly, Jing Wan got taken before the largest tent by Li Hong Yuan, getting blocked by the soldiers guarding in front. This living Enma, they also recognized, but the main commander’s tent, no one knew what important things were inside. With the main commander not present, one naturally can’t casually set foot in. That’s why, they can only harden their heads and block.
“Get lost.” The terrifying air around Li Hong Yuan hadn’t vanished. Jing Wan wasn’t affected, but it didn’t mean that others can also calmly face. Getting coldly stared at by him, they just felt cold air shooting up from their soles, their entire body stiffening, their willpower getting greatly challenged. Seemingly, as long as he continued staring, then no matter who, all would choose to unconditionally surrender.
Jing Wan tugged Li Hong Yuan, “Wangye, they are also just loyally carrying out their duty, so don’t make it difficult for them. For us to enter the army camp on our own, it’s already inappropriate.” Afterward, she finally realized in hindsight that they were still holding hands. She pretended to be composed on the surface, while attempting to have her hand pulled back, but unfortunately, she wasn’t able to succeed, so she could only give up. “If they were to just open the back door for anyone pressuring with strong power, then won’t everything be a mess? Having people loyally upholding their duty as such, wangye should regard this as a fortune.”
Li Hong Yuan turned back to look at Jing Wan, his gaze seemingly no different from when looking at the two soldiers.
Jing Wan wasn’t scared in the slightest, instead laughing, “This should be General Fu’s tent, right? General Fu…………”
Hearing the implications in Jing Wan’s words, Li Hong Yuan’s complexion instantly just turned dark, dragging Jing Wan away.
Following behind Li Hong Yuan, Jing Wan covered her mouth laughing.
