Chapter 464

Xie Xuanchen was so struck and smitten that his mood immediately improved. He held Mu Mingtang in his arms and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his original decision was correct.

Now, he trained during the day and when he came back from military camp at night, he could still sleep with a soft and fragrant body in his arms. If he hadn’t taken Mu Mingtang with him at the beginning, he would have been in need as long as this battle lasted.

It was truly scary to even think about it.

Xie Xuanchen had a conversation with Mu Mingtang before he was pushed to take a shower. Before going to bed, Xie Xuanchen’s mind wandered and he asked for a night of pleasure, but was rejected instead.

Mu Mingtang knew that the situation was very tense these days, so she did not allow Xie Xuanchen to pester her at night, firmly telling Xie Xuanchen to sleep more and rest more. Xie Xuanchen’s resistance was to no avail, so he had no choice but to go to sleep.

He felt that this was a double denial of both his body and psychology.

Xie Xuanchen was rejected for several days and became irritable before he remembered Ye Luji’s presence. If he’s not going to attack, then I will be the enemy for him. Since Ye Luji had yet to launch an attack on the city after all this time, Xie Xuanchen took the initiative to attack him.

He wanted to finish the matter quickly and not let it affect his married life.

The news that Xie Xuanchen was going to take the initiative caused a lot of agitation in Enzhou City. The Senior Magistrate of Enzhou City had a bitter look on his face and repeatedly confirmed, “Does Your Highness really want to lead the troops out?”

“That’s right,” Xie Xuanchen said, “80,000 men on Ye Luji’s side are out there and they might harm many villages and lands if he attacks. Sitting and waiting for death is not the solution. If he doesn’t come, it will be the same outcome if I’m the one who goes to find him.”

Senior Magistrate hesitated to speak, “But, Enzhou City…”

Senior Magistrate was particularly afraid that Xie Xuanchen would be attacked by Ye Luji after taking away the Enzhou’s troops, or worse, Xie Xuanchen would be defeated by Ye Luji. By then, what could they do?

Xie Xuanchen could see through the Senior Magistrate’s thoughts at a glance and sneered, “You just need to close the city gate tightly and don’t seek death yourself. With my Princess still in the city, do you think I will expose Enzhou to danger?”

The Senior Magistrate was immediately convinced with that. Yes, Princess An was still in the city. The Senior Magistrate immediately felt very at ease, recognising Princess An as a living amulet. In fact, her presence in his city was much more effective than the peace amulet in the temple.

The Senior Magistrate was then relieved. Soon, Xie Xuanchen led his troops out of the city. After leaving the city, he turned back and took a deep look at the city gate.

His wife was waiting for him to come back.

When his subordinates saw it, they asked, “King An, is it too rash for us to leave Enzhou City voluntarily? Doing so might put Enzhou in danger.”

“No,” Xie Xuanchen held the horse’s rein in his hand and spoke calmly and firmly, “Where she stays, to me, is where the line between the Ye Dynasty and the enemy is drawn.”
