Gu Fang Bu Zi Shang Vol03 Ch68

The tails of dreams were hard to catch; Chu Beijie was unable to sleep

But Changxiao was buried in his ar fallen asleep obediently His soft little body but rather heavy breathed evenly as he stuck his hot little face against Chu Beijie’s shoulder

“Can I really put him down?” Chu Beijie hadti as he asked

“Yes”

“Wouldn’t it wake him up?”

“No He’s already deep in sleep”

Chu Beijie studied the son in his arms and frowned, “I reckon he’ll wake up”

Pingting was both ary She walked over and skilfully took their son fro him in a blanket Chu Beijie took just one step towards the blanket He lowered his head, studying every detail carefully, his eyes flashi+ng in the candlelight, never leaving his son

“Be lighter” Chu Beijie nervously watched, “Be careful not to wake him or he’ll cry”

Pingting laughed for a long tihtened up and looked at Chu Beijie, unable to straighten herinto a soft chuckle “They all say fathers are strict while entle, but it’s the opposite”

Chu Beijie kneas being too nervous He grabbed her slender body, pulling her closer to hi the other now?” He didn’t wait for an explanation before nibbling lightly on Pingting’s delicate earlobe

“Ow…” Pingting gently yelped, her ear stinging a little, bringing with it a war

It seeue iht red and reached out a hand to push his chest She shyly said, “What is Duke doing?”

“I aht without soldiers” Chu Beijie chuckled softly, spraying hot air into Pingting’s ear “Does duchess give up?”

“Using teeth to bite people isn’t elegant…”

There was no way his metal-like broad shoulders could be so easily pushed away by Pingting After having enough of dawdling, he grabbed onto Pingting, quietly heading outside The two people went outside the tent where the bright stars in the sky suddenly appeared before their eyes

Chu Beijie sighed, “This kind of ato with it” He turned and looked at Pingting

Pingting said, “Where can you find a qin in such wilderness?”

Chu Beijie laughed without a reply His deep eyes watched her, her blush spreading ear to ear Under his gaze perhaps no one could rean to srasp, leading hi a quiet forest to sit down

“Since there’s no qin, why don’t Duke allow Pingting to sing a song?”

“What song?” asked Chu Beijie

Pingting revealed a grin, “A song of rebellion to apologise to Duke?”

“Oh?” Chu Beijie quietly thought for aneed to apologise to me?”

For so was actually startled by this question She lowered her thick eyelashes, thinking for a long tiuilt due to her stubbornness that caused so many hardshi+ps to Duke”

Her head was lowered and Chu Beijie felt a wave of pity He held her in his arxiao are both byto me”

This wasn’t exactly the first ti like this since their reunion But the thisthe days before The scene where Chu Beijie held Changxiao in his arraved into her heart

She couldn’t help tightly hold onto Chu Beijie, letting her head be muffled in his broad chest In a low voice, she asked, “Does Duke regret ?”

Chu Beijie didn’t answer He just reached out to softly lift her chin, planting a warm kiss on her beautiful red lips

The stars twinkled while oblique shadoere pulled out fro this deeply affectionate couple

“Allow ht” Chu Beijie finally loosened his grip around Pingting and faintly s

“If spring love only, autu serves; never betray…”

His voice was deep and rich, seeped with many emotions Each word ju the forest

“Never betray…”

His clear voice rang in the night, the silent forests, wind, and darkness, applauding in their oay

No qin

But Chu Beijie’s deep voice didn’t need to be accompanied by qin

He put his heart into singing, particularly the words “Never Betray” His words see-An Ducal Residence, the confrontation at the Battle of Kanbu, and the other nuether on the way All of their pain andthe wind

The injuries lifted, going back to where they came from

The sound wandered through the forest, just how it e listened, captivated Tears began to fall frorass and causing astopped

The forest was very quiet, letting Pingting listen to every long breath of Chu Beijie Perhaps, every heartbeat too

Pingting lifted her sleeves, quietly wiping the corners of her eyes without changing her expression “What does Duke understand?”

Chu Beijie dotingly enveloped her in his eed your mind despite the hundreds and thousands of twists”

“Never changed ting contemplated the words

“Clever Bai Pingting, stupid Bai Pingting, kind Bai Pingting, and the evil Bai Pingting, are all the Bai Pingting I love” Chu Beijie breathed out before asking his own question, “Why would I regret it?”

Pingting’s eyes held tears in theht in his eyes, firm with decision

The shattering sound ca s its faint echo in the heart

Let all sorrow and buried hatred vanish like smoke into the clouds

The pain that even alcohol could not drown the two’s desires no longer mattered

When she was pregnant, she cried while spilling the round, just like the despair that overpowered her world

Behind her, he had chased thousands ofthe sky with the fire of murder

They once sworn to theThey had to overcome so many incidents in the past, so many tests

Her gaze shi+fted towards the sky She suddenly exclaimed with joy, “The moon’s out”

“Where?”

Her slender fingers that were al onion leapt towards the sky “Over there, can Duke see it?”

Chu Beijie didn’t turn his head, just stared at her, as if wanting to drown her in those inky depths After a few moments, his handsome face revealed a faint smile, “I see, it’s over there”

He lowered his head, softly kissing those tre eyelashes

The two spent the whole night saying nothing but nonsense, yet neither felt a trace of weariness At earlybit by bit through the forest, lifting the fog They then finally returned to the tent, seeing that Changxiao had already woken a while ago He didn’t cry nor e of the blanket as he couldn’t pull them off

“You’re already being naughty right after opening your eyes” Pingting went to hug hixiao was still far too interested in those tassels, his tiny hand refusing to let go so that a corner of the blanket was lifted with him

Chu Beijie only boasted, “Good boy, he shares hness”

Changxiao turned to see hi closer and yelped with excitement He didn’t care about the tassels any the blanket to fall onto the ground Changxiao only bothered to reach out to Chu Beijie with his two little hands

Chu Beijie was even hted “Look, he really likes xiao

Pingting laughed “What like? He’s only interested in your Divine Spirit sword”

As expected, once Changxiao entered Chu Beijie’s aret the hilt at Chu Beijie’s waist The Divine Spirit sasn’t light He was srope for the belt no matter how he twisted He yelled in dissatisfaction, “Knife-knife!”

“Good son If you like it, Father will give it to you”

“Are there fathers like you? He’s still young; such an obvious weapon is not a good choice to give”

The fa their fun, when Moran lifted the flap and entered His voice was quite refreshed as he reported, “The few people that Duke recently sent private letters ago have already arrived”

“They should be co over the next few days” Chu Beijie then asked, “How many have arrived?”

“More than twenty”

“Eight or nine was expected as this ti” Chu Beijie held on the endlessly wriggling Changxiao, saying to Pingting, “Let’s go see theether These were all my former subordinates and retired for all sorts of reasons Every one of them has a forte of their own”

Pingting said, “It’s said that all people with skills are living in seclusion now To be summoned by Duke’s letter at the final moment must xiao, putting hiood, Changxiao Go find Ze Qing to play”

Changxiao was happy as he skipped away from the tent

Chu Beijie was a little worried though “Hoill he knohere Ze Qing is? This place is a mess”

“Yangfeng’s tent is right next door Don’t worry, he’ll definitely find it”

The re three had even more important matters to attend to They couldn’t always think about the children They immediately went to see the latest arrivals They really were the talent a up devices in the mountains and forests while others specialised in ambush or assassination

When Chu Beijie led these soldiers, he highly valued these people The su on the frontlines but also those who specialised in healing cuts from swords

“Although genius Doctor Huo’s medical skills are excellent, he tends to noble fah There are lots of casualties in war so ti is speed When it comes to speed, only the doctors who specialise in military treatment is the best”

Under Chu Beijie’s introductions, Pingting met each one of them before hurried into the military conference

Once entering the tent, they realised all of the generals had arrived, appearing to be waiting for them

Chu Beijie was full of joy, having held his son in thebreeze He s, “Bei Mo’s new soldiers arrived yesterday On Dong Lin’s side,With just another two or three days of preparation, we can follow our previously thought up strategy and sneak into Yun Chang, taking the initiative What do you all think?” The others’ expressions weren’t as good as Chu Beijie, causing the s?”

There was a moment of silence in the tent before Ruohan said, “Please look at this latest report, Duke” He took out the report and handed it to Chu Beijie

One of the rules in the arent content enerals to be able to ie

Chu Beijie took and opened it The first line that juht was a line written in vermillion—The Royal House of Gui Le was killed by He Xia…”

Pingting was standing beside Chu Beijie Her thick eyelashes ju the line of vermillion words

The entire Royal House of Gui Le?

That didn’t ed son

The one who held the sas He Xia, the descendant of the House of Jing-An, the House of Jing-An that loyally protected the Gui Le Royal House for centuries

It was her Master…

The words in the ar could barely breathe She suddenly felt a warmth on her shoulder as Chu Beijie steadied her

Everyone there knew Gui Le was still her ho of Gui Le wasn’t kind to her, they still grew up together, so her sorrow couldn’t be helped

Chu Beijie helped her to a chair, wanting her to sit down He softly asked, “Are you okay?”

The Queen of Dong Lin walked over, “This place is too stuffy with all the hurt I’ll accoone”

Pingting cals in the tent She saw everyone’s face had a faint trace of concern, but this made her calood The ent, so you mustn’t delay”

Chu Beijie answered before continuing to read the rest of the report The rest was quite eloquent; more than a hundred words to describe the detailed information the spies found He then placed the report on the table, lightly asking, “What do Generals think?”

Luoshang spoke everyone’s biggest concern “Gui Le has already fallen Le Zhen has been co Now, the final power of the four countries that could possibly oppose He Xia has been eradicated”

“Next, He Xia would put full strength into attacking us” Ruohan’s voice was heavy

It was impossible not to feel heavy

Once the Gui Le army was defeated, the four countries had already fallen into He Xia’s hands

Against the He Xia who obtained the strength of all four countries, thisArmy could pretty much be described as wasteful effort

The generals in the tent were all lead commanders of their armies They were able to face ene situation They didn’t actually want to agree, but no hty percent of everything was favourable towards He Xia
