Chapter 479 - There's another way to accompany you (2)

Pengxin looked up. Her tender little face looked especially small inside the helmet.

Even the horse was startled and came to a quick halt. Ning Mingjie looked around, coughed to clear his throat, and pulled on her horse's reins to lead her to the side to talk. ”What are you doing?”

”Me?” Pengxin blinked. Swish. She pulled out her three-ring sword from the scabbard that was on her horse's back. ”I'm going with you to fight, ah.”

”Outrageous!” Ning Mingjie's face had changed colors. ”Is war a child's game? You're a mere woman...”

”We met on the battlefield.” Pengxin cleaned her ears and harrumphed. ”My sword has killed countless enemies. Even if I spent the last year embroidering for you, I still know how to use my sword!”

Seeing that he was going say more, Pengxin took out a yellow cloth scroll. ”Oh yeah, the emperor appointment me to come along. Here's the imperial edict. Do you want to take a look?”

Ning Mingjie was stunned. He took the imperial edict from her. It really did have the emperor's seal. The emperor was allowing Yuzhen's princess, Pengxin, to follow the army.

”This...” After thinking it over, Ning Mingjie understood.

Who had possession of the emperor's seal? Ning Yuxuan.

Who did Ning Yuxuan listen to? Ji-s.h.i.+.

These cousin-in-laws were like actual sisters, ah. She even helped Pengxin to this degree. Ning Mingjie sighed. He let go of her horse's reins. ”Why are you coming with me to battle? It'll be very hard and tiring.”

”I'm not scared of hard work,” Pengxin said, ”Someone told me that it's better for me to be myself. I thought it over. I have to go with you to fight. When you charge ahead, I'll help you chop down your enemies. When you capture a city, I'll guard your back. That's what the real me would do. I'm not suitable for staying at home to embroider and plotting out schemes against them, really.

Ning Mingjie couldn't help it; his heart felt warm. ”Alright, you have to do a good job with protecting me then.”

”En!” Pengxin placed her sword onto her shoulder and took a long breath. ”It feels much better to speak loudly like this.”

Ning Mingjie's heart felt a bit distressed. It seemed that this Yuzhen Princess had felt horribly stifled in his inner court.

”I still feel really worried about Pengxin following the general to the battlefield.” Zhu Yurun said to Ji Man while cracking melon seeds between her teeth. ”Wouldn't it unfairly help those wretched women in the general's household if she dies on the battlefield?”

Ji Man thought that Zhu Yurun must have suffered a shock recently. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said words like wretched women.
