Chapter 319 We Will Follow You Until Death

When Jun Yeyan left, the light snow was falling gently. Many trees in peach blossom mountain were wrapped in white. At first glance, they looked very beautiful.

As soon as he got out of the hut of the snow-white world, Jun Yeyan saw Jianjia who stood motionlessly by the frozen river and looked at him.

Jun Yeyan looked at Jianjia on one side and gently said, “Jianjia, take good care of yourself.”

Jianjia nodded and then looked up at Jun Yeyan again, saying, “Big brother, how long will you be back? When the baby brother is about to be born, can you come back?”

Jun Yeyan nodded without thinking, saying, “I will come back.”

Upon hearing this, Jianjia said happily, “If Sister Aoxue knows, she will be happy. Big brother, have a safe journey.”

Jun Yeyan nodded and waved to Jianjia, saying, “Go back. It’s cold outside.”

Jianjia shook her head and softly said, “I won’t go back until you leave.”

When Jun Yeyan saw it, he no longer stopped her. He quickly left peach blossom mountain with the Shadows.

Even if he had too much reluctance in his heart, he couldn’t waste every minute and every second in order to be reunited with Bai Aoxue as soon as possible.

After Jun Yeyan left, a touch of red like the scorching sun appeared in the snow-white world.

Looking at the direction where Jun Yeyan left, Bai Aoxue stood motionlessly like a sculpture.

“Sister Aoxue. Let’s go back. It’s cold here. It’s not good for you.” Jianjia came over to hold Bai Aoxue’s hands and said softly.

Bai Aoxue looked down at Jianjia, and then looked straight ahead and said, “Jianjia. Wait a moment. I’ll wait until he’s far away before I go back.”

Maybe Jianjia didn’t understand that the parting between her and Jun Yeyan this time was not like it used to be. In the past, they could see each other in a few hours or days. As the three countries were at war, it was not easy to unify the three countries.

Even though she knew that the Mobei Dynasty had been controlled by Jun Yeyan, Qi Liange was not easy to be deal with. As long as the war didn’t stop and the people were still displaced, they didn’t know when their family would be reunited.

She didn’t know when they would meet again. At least during the period when the child was not born, she couldn’t go anywhere and couldn’t help anything.

She knew very well how weak she was now. She wanted to have the baby. She wanted to keep the connection and bond between them at any cost.

Until the wind and snow buried the footsteps of those people including Jun Yeyan, and she could no longer see him, Bai Aoxue held Jianjia’s hand and walked slowly back to the house step by step.

And Mumian and Hongxiu saw Bai Aoxue covered with wind and snow coming in. They couldn’t help panicking in their hearts. Some people lighted the fire. Some people lighted the stove. The rest were busy making ginger soup.

On the third day after Jun Yeyan left, Li Xiao left peach blossom mountain. When he came back in the evening, he brought a truckload of oranges and Zi Yuanyue whom she had not seen for a long time.

Bai Aoxue knew that Jun Yeyan must have ordered someone to get the oranges. But she did not expect that the efficiency would be so high.

Looking at the basket of oranges, Bai Aoxue seemed to have a warm current in her heart. She felt very warm.

But with such warmth, Bai Aoxue missed Jun Yeyan more and more.

Jun Yeyan who had left the Nanyue Dynasty did not return to the empire’s capital of the Chengxi Dynasty, nor did he rush to the Ye Capital which was sieged by Qi Liange’s army. Instead, he went to the Mountain Qing which had been abandoned by Qi Liange but still needed to be protected according to Bai Aoxue’s suggestion.

Jun Yeyan felt more and more that Bai Aoxue’s judgment was right along the way. Qi Liange did confuse his line of sight by encircling and suppressing the Ye Capital. If it had not been for Bai Aoxue’s suggestion, maybe he would have gone directly to the Ye Capital.

Fortunately, Bai Aoxue’s words made him suddenly awakened. On the way, it was mostly the news that the troops were going to the Mountain Qing in disguise.

He was on his way day and night. He also got in touch with Zhao in the empire’s capital. Their goal was the Mountain Qing.

They could only succeed in the battle in the Mountain Qing. If they had succeeded, they would have been defended the whole Chengxi Dynasty. But if they had been defeated, it would have been tantamount to opening the door to the Chengxi Dynasty and allowing the enemy to invade.

Even though he was mostly worried about and missed Bai Aoxue along the way, Jun Yeyan also concentrated on thinking about countermeasures.

This was the first battle since he had ascended the throne. This war represented too many things. Although the ministers in the imperial court were convinced by him under his rectification, if he had not shown some practical exploits, most people still wouldn’t have succumbed to him completely.

What Jun Yeyan wanted was their complete surrender to him, so he was bound to succeed in this battle.

When stepping into the land of the Chengxi Dynasty, it had been after half a month. Qi Liange had readied to act.

Following Jun Yeyan, Ying Er frowned and said, “Master, according to the news, the war in the Mountain Qing has begun. The people of Qi Liange have begun to invade wantonly.”

Jun Yeyan looked at the Mountain Qing which he has got closer and closer. He gently said, “Our people are all on the narrow lane, right? Since Qi Liange can’t wait for too long, I’ll give him a surprise. He is so fond of diversion tactics. I will catch him by surprise.”

Jun Yeyan had summoned his people to wait for orders on the Xi Plain earlier. Jun Yeyan also ordered that as long as the war broke out in the Mountain Qing, the people on the Xi Plain would take action. They didn’t need to attack them, they just had to harass them regularly.

In the narrow lane of the Mountain Qing, an army had been sent to stand by because of the contact between Jun Yeyan and Zhao. As soon as Jun Yeyan arrived, they would attack Qi Liange’s army back and forth with the soldiers in Mountain Qing.

Probably Qi Liange didn’t expect it.

Jun Yeyan and his people arrived at the narrow lane after dark. Sure enough, there was already an army standing by.

After seeing Jun Yeyan coming, all the soldiers were very excited.

Now the people all over the Chengxi Dynasty had known that the 5th prince who used to be cowardly and incompetent was the Dark King who ruled the whole Great Continent. So many young people had admiration for him. Now they could see him in person, none of them was not excited.

“Greetings, your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!” There was a deafening voice of worship with excitement and apprehension.

Jun Yeyan rode on the horse. His black cloak raised in the wind which made a cold arc in the cold moonlight.

The appearance under the black jade mask was even more mysterious. But he had an arrogance that no one could look directly at. The dominating look in his eyes made people feel subdued from the bottom of their hearts.

“Tonight, thirty thousand of us will face one hundred thousand of the enemy. Before that, you can choose to give up or retreat. As long as you leave now and return to the Chengxi Dynasty to live a good life as a common people, I will not embarrass you. But as long as you follow me into this battlefield, your lives will not be yours anymore. I will give you time to think about it now.” Jun Yeyan looked at the army of thirty thousand people and said in a low voice.

There was a rare rigor and seriousness in his words.

And when all the generals and soldiers listened to Jun Yeyan’s words, they all looked at each other face to face.

They couldn’t rush forward recklessly. There were only 30,000 of them, but they had to face 100,000 enemies. Such a disparity in number and gap made them feel uneasy and frightened.

Jun Yeyan knew what the people thought. So when he came here, his first words were about the question that they had to face.

On the battlefield, he didn’t need cowardly soldiers. What he wanted was that his soldiers committed their lives to him and trusted him thoroughly.

“Your Majesty, may I ask you a question?” A calm voice sounded like thunder on the ground in the whispering noise.

Jun Yeyan looked at the speaker, a young man who was about the same age as him. His face was firm but still a bit immature. His hand which was holding a long pike didn’t have the calluses of long-term martial arts practice. On the contrary, his hands were like those of a privileged young master of the official family.

Observing him like this, Jun Yeyan nodded slightly and said, “You can speak.”

“I heard that your Majesty had left the Chengxi Dynasty to find her Majesty, so I dare to ask your Majesty, has her Majesty been found?” The young man looked at Jun Yeyan and asked with some caution.

“The empress has been found. You may wonder why I didn’t bring the empress back. She is pregnant. Now there is a war between the three countries. There are wars everywhere. I cannot put my woman and children in suffering and unknown danger, so I don’t bring her back. But I promised her that when I settled the war, I would take her home and show her the picturesque landscape.” Jun Yeyan looked at the young man. His golden eyes had unique seriousness and persistence.

The young man looked at such a determined Jun Yeyan and heard the resounding words. The shock in his heart could not be calmed down for a long time.

And all the generals and soldiers who were originally whispering kept silent after hearing the words of Jun Yeyan.

“Why did you join the army? Don’t you want your loved ones to have a stable life so that your loved ones don’t have to live in war and be frightened? Taking off this suit, I am an ordinary person like you. I hope that the people I cherish live a good life. They don’t have to worry about the war. They don’t have to wander, starve, and suffer. Once I set foot on this battlefield today, I will not look back. I will move forward with you and we will live and die together.” Jun Yeyan looked at the crowd with his burning eyes and said firmly word by word.

Everyone listened to Jun Yeyan’s words and the fear in their hearts disappeared. Instead, the ambition they used to have appeared in their hearts again.

That was why they did it. These reasons may be trivial, or they might have their own selfish desires. But everyone’s starting point was the same. They were just for the same reason. They gathered on this battlefield to listen to the call and arrangement of their master.

“Of course we would follow you! Whether it is endless hell, we will never take half a step back! Advance or retreat, live and death, we will be together with you, Master!” Several Shadows knelt on one knee and bowed their heads in front of Jun Yeyan. They said earnestly and respectfully.

A few people’s momentum was enough to move the mountains and rivers.

After saying, Jun Yeyan just wanted to speak. The soldiers, especially the young people who asked the question, followed the actions of the Shadows. All of them knelt on one knee with their hands on their chests. They respectfully and religiously said, “We will follow your Majesty until death!”
