Chapter 242: 242

She rolled her eyes angrily. “I’m the one who’s angry with you,” she said indignantly. “Of course, I can touch you. You can’t touch me.”

Song Jingchen thought, “What are you talking about so early in the morning?”

With the food that Song Jingchen brought back, the citizens of Xunyang City finally had a chance to breathe. Otherwise, even if the Hun army stopped harassing them, they would still starve to death.

Under Song Jingchen’s reminder, Shangguan Han got someone to arrange for everyone to have a full meal today.

Although everyone, including Shangguan Han, did not understand his intentions, and it was not easy for them to obtain food, they still took action before dawn.

The women in the city took out the large pots at home to wash the rice and cook. The men were in charge of chopping wood and burning the fire. They were busy.

No one knew when the Huns would come again.

What’s more, this meal might even be the last full meal in their lives. However, everyone’s faces were still filled with smiles. They were busy with the work in their hands and looked up from time to time to smile at their relatives.

Shen Yijia was happily eating the porridge cooked by Song Jingchen when Rooster came to report that Lord An Le had arrived.

Song Jingchen, who was sitting opposite her, paused and looked at the sky outside.

It wasn’t time yet. He frowned and said, “Tell him to wait.”

Shen Yijia blinked and picked up the bowl she had just put down. She finished the remaining porridge in two or three mouthfuls and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. “I’m done eating.”

She stood up and was about to follow Rooster out. Shangguan Han was extremely curious about her, and she was curious about him too.

Song Jingchen subconsciously wanted to pull her hand, but he remembered that she was still angry. His hand paused in midair as he watched Shen Yijia slip away from him.

Helpless, he could only follow.

In the reception pavilion, Shangguan Han sat upright and glanced at the door from time to time. After sitting down, he realized that it was too early.

Her cousin and sister-in-law had not seen each other for a long time. They definitely did not wake up so early.

He put down the teacup, clenched his fists, and coughed lightly. “Uncle Yang, it’s still early. They must not have woken up yet. Why don’t I go back first and come back later.”

Uncle Yang was speechless. He wanted to say that Eldest Young Master and Young Madam had already woken up, but he had no chance to speak.

An unhappy voice came from outside the door. “Since you know, why are you here so early?”

Shangguan Han stood up and subconsciously turned around.

He saw his cousin walking side by side with a woman into the reception pavilion. When he saw the woman’s appearance, he was really stunned.

Previously, he was still wondering what kind of strange woman could make his cousin care so much. Now that he saw her, it seemed that it was not difficult to understand.

While he was looking at Shen Yijia, Shen Yijia was also observing the culprit behind her separation from Song Jingchen.

Shangguan Han looked a little pathetic to her.

It was obvious that he was weak. No wonder her beautiful husband had traveled thousands of miles to save him.

Shangguan Han was actually not bad-looking. After all, Song Li had a good appearance.

The former emperor was a person who loved beauties. All the women who could enter his harem were beautiful, so Emperor Chong’an was naturally not bad.

Of course Shangguan Han would be handsome, considering the fact that he was the son of the good-looking Emperor Chong’an and the good-looking Song Li. This was also the reason why the royal family was so dignified.

However, Shen Yijia was a little biased, so she naturally did not have a good impression of him.

Song Jingchen stood in front of Shen Yijia with a dark expression, blocking their gazes. He said coldly, “Since you’ve seen her, you can go back.”

Before Shangguan Han could figure out why his sister-in-law was unhappy with him, he heard his cousin chase him away again.

Shangguan Han rubbed his nose and walked around Song Jingchen to Shen Yijia. He cupped his hands and bowed. “This must be Sister-in-law. I greet Sister-in-law.”

Shen Yijia blinked. Was he going to give her a greeting gift? After all, she was quite happy to hear him call her sister-in-law. She thought for a moment and removed a sleeve arrow from her wrist.

She had taken a few of these from Song Jingchen’s box when she came and even gave one to Mo Yuan. She felt that this person was so weak and definitely needed it.

Shangguan Han did not expect that the person who looked at him with disdain a second ago would change her expression so quickly. She even gave him a greeting gift.

He was flattered and reached out to take it. However, someone else was faster.

Song Jingchen held the still-warm sleeve arrow in his hand and smirked. “He doesn’t like these things. I’ll help you give him a greeting gift.”

Shen Yijia looked at Song Jingchen thoughtfully and resisted the urge to curl her lips into a smile. She pretended to be dissatisfied and said, “That won’t do. I have to give him something too.”

Song Jingchen pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes at Shangguan Han, who was watching the show.

Shangguan Han quickly stopped gloating and waved his hand. “No, no, there’s no need. The two of you are husband and wife. Any gift given would be from both of you.”

“Can we do that?” Shen Yijia looked at Song Jingchen.

Song Jingchen said, “Of course.”

Shen Yijia nodded reluctantly. “Alright then.”

Song Jingchen held his forehead. Where had his meek wife gone?

In the Hun’s camp, the two generals, Monte and Stahl, stormed into the Zodar’s tent.

“Why did you order the army to take a day off, Zodar?” Monte asked, leaning forward and glaring at Zodar, who was studying the map.

Zodar looked up at the two of them and smiled disdainfully. “Don’t forget, I’m the commander in chief this time.”

Zodar was not only the first person around Kedun Chanyu, but he also held great power.

If there was anyone who really wanted to avenge Kedun after his death, it was undoubtedly this person.

“You…” Monte narrowed his eyes and was about to pull the knife from his waist.

“Yesterday, our army suffered a huge loss. Some of our rations were even stolen. This hasn’t happened in more than half a month.”

The two of them were people that Mungido trusted. Zodar did not want to fall out with them, so he explained kindly, “That’s why I’m guessing that Xunyang has some capable people helping them now. If we don’t change our plans, we’ll definitely suffer heavy losses like yesterday.”

At his words, Monte exchanged a glance with Stahl.

“So what are you going to do?” Stahl asked.

Xunyang City was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The reason why they had only surrounded it and not attacked was because they did not want to suffer too many losses. This was also what Mungido had originally wanted.

But it was different now. Xunyang City had food, and instead the Hun army had less food.

If they delayed any longer, where would they get the rations for their 200,000-strong army?

Zodar glanced at the two of them and smiled coldly. “You’ll see.”

There was a moment of silence.

The night was dark and silent. The full moon hung high in the sky.

“Are you ready?” Shen Yijia clenched her fists and looked at Song Jingchen with a tense expression.

Song Jingchen narrowed his eyes. “I’m ready.”

Shen Yijia said, “If you avoid it, you know the consequences.”

Song Jingchen nodded. “Don’t worry, I won’t avoid it.”

Shen Yijia said, “Then I’ll start.”

Song Jingchen stayed silent.
