Quick Wear: The Sickly Boss Is Addicted to Spoiling Me

Chapter 840: The Scheming Little Emperor x the Cruel and Merciless Regent 29

"I know my own body well. Go and arrange for someone to take me to the border immediately."

Yu Yu, who had always been honest and obedient, did not move at this moment.

"My Lord, please listen to His Majesty. Besides, His Majesty is not as weak as you think. I think he can handle those things.

You should believe him, right?"

After these words were spoken, Qi Zhi remained silent.

After a moment, he waved his hand, signaling Yu Yu to leave.

After he left, the door was closed and the room fell silent again.

Qi Zhi recalled what Shen Xi had told him a few days ago while he was in his arms, about the things to pay attention to when going to the border.

"You entrusted me with this. Did you remember it yourself?"

He was in a very upset mood and really wanted to leave immediately and go to the border to be in front of Shen Xi.

But he was also afraid that if he really went in front of him, Shen Xi would think that he did not trust him as Yu Yu said, and thus become alienated from him.

He fixed his gaze on the teacup that had just been smashed when he threw the book, and after a moment, his eyes gradually narrowed.

He simply threw back the quilt and got out of bed, then picked up a yellow envelope that was covered by the debris.

The broken teacup was quite sharp, leaving several bloody marks on his pale palm, but Qi Zhi didn't care at all. He immediately tore open the envelope and took out the letter inside.

The handwriting inside was in a font that was so familiar to him.

"I'm sorry to have lied to you, but I don't regret it. I'm going out to fight, so you should just stay at home.

Don't blame Yu Yu and the others for this matter. It was me who asked them to keep it from you and not tell you.

Don't be angry, I will come back when the war is won. Don't think of coming to see me, I know how badly you are injured, don't try to hide it from me, and don't make trouble.

If you come to me, I will never talk to you again in my life.

Finally, please believe me, I will come back with victory."

I have to say that the penultimate sentence of this letter is quite intimidating.

Just this one sentence made Qi Zhi's eagerness to rush to the border and accompany him disappear for the most part.

The remaining half comes from the last sentence.

"Then I'll wait for you to come back."

But this war was far more brutal than either of them had imagined, and it lasted much longer than either of them had imagined.

The initial period was three months, then half a year, and now, more than a year later, there is still no sign of a return.

Moreover, it is winter now. After all, the soldiers from the Central Plains are not as thick-skinned as the soldiers from the barbarians, and are not as able to withstand the cold, which makes this war even more difficult.

Shen Xi was wearing armor and a white fox fur coat, and there was a charcoal fire burning inside the tent.

Even though the winter at the border is much colder than that in the inland Central Plains, it is not that cold because of these preparations.

A small victory was won a few days ago, so most of the soldiers were resting in the camp these days, but a few soldiers were also sent out to patrol in the cold winter.

Shen Xi stood in front of the sand model, his brows furrowed, and the token in his hand tapped unconsciously on the edge of the sand table.

On the model, colored stones and small flags are used to mark the troop deployment and terrain key points of both sides. Every detail embodies the hard work of him and his generals, and also carries the key to the victory or defeat of this war.

Outside the tent, the cold wind was howling, occasionally mixed with the footsteps of patrolling soldiers coming from afar.

The charcoal fire crackled in the copper basin, trying to dispel some of the chill, but it was unable to warm Shen Xi's heavy heart at the moment.

His eyes moved slowly on the sand table, thinking about the next strategy. Although he had won a small victory a few days ago, the main force of the enemy had not suffered a serious blow. They were lurking in the dark and could launch a more violent counterattack at any time.

"Report--" A messenger hurried into the tent, knelt on one knee, and broke the silence in the tent.

"General, the latest intelligence is that the enemy seems to have made some unusual movements in the northwest, and they are gathering forces to prepare for a flanking attack."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xi's expression froze and he immediately leaned over to look towards the northwest area on the sand table. In his eyes, the small flags there seemed to instantly transform into surging enemy forces.

He quickly deduced various response plans in his mind, weighing the pros and cons.

After a moment's silence, Shen Xi stood up and said to the messenger, "Pass the order down to strengthen the deployment of troops on the northwest defense line, add more lookouts, and closely monitor the enemy's movements.

In addition, notify Lieutenant General Li to lead an elite force to stand by on the flank. If the enemy makes any move, immediately cut off their retreat."

The messenger took the order and left. Shen Xi looked at his departing back and prayed silently in his heart that this judgment would be accurate.

After Shen Xi finished giving the instructions, he sat back in his chair and let out a long sigh.

'I don't know how long it will take to end. I miss him a little bit.'

Although Wangcai couldn't hear what he was thinking, he could probably guess something from his expression.

"Brother, why don't you write him a letter or something?"

'I just wrote it the day before yesterday, so I guess the letter hasn't arrived yet.'

Just as he was thinking this, the curtain of the tent was lifted up. Shen Xi felt the noise and thought that some soldier was so ignorant of the rules that he came in without notifying.

Just when I was about to scold him, when I saw the face of the person who came, I swallowed all the words I wanted to say.

Qi Zhi was standing at the door. At this moment, he looked completely different from the old and sickly beauty that Shen Xi saw before he left.

His injuries have completely healed.

The man was dressed in black and stood there with a full of energy.

"It's been a long time since we last met. Your Majesty, don't you want to hug me?"

Shen Xi was so excited that he forgot to speak. He just stood up, took two quick steps and threw himself into his arms.

"How did you come?"

Shen Xi felt the long-lost warm embrace, and Qi Zhi felt the same way. After a long while, he spoke again: "Xixi hasn't been home for a long time, and I missed you so much. So I came to see you after my injury healed."

Hearing him say this, Shen Xi remembered what he had said to him before and pushed him away arrogantly again.

"Yeah, I told you not to come to me, why are you here to see me? Don't you want me to pay attention to you?"

Qi Zhi looked wronged and shook his hands quickly: "If you say that, then I am wronged. I obviously can't bear to leave you. Who told you not to come back for so long?

I missed you so much that I came here."

As she spoke, she silently hooked her hand around his fingers.

"I came all the way here, and Xixi still said this to me. I'm so sad."
