Early next morning.
Sheng Ningning woke up early, opened her eyes faintly, and found Pei Jing's hands around her waist, and her head resting on his arm.
The two of them slept in each other's arms all night.
It had to be said that Pei Jing's embrace was warm and comfortable, so comfortable that she didn't even want to get up.
In order to avoid waking Pei Jing, she tried to climb out of the bed very slowly, but the cold wind blew on her shoulders, and she immediately shrank back into the bed.
He only dared to stick out his little head and look directly into the cold air.
The desert in this winter is as cold as a knife.
Normally, she would definitely wake up Pei Jing if she acted like this.
But at this time, Pei Jing was sleeping deeply.
He seemed very tired, both mentally and physically, he was always tense and never relaxed.
Sheng Ningning looked sideways at his sleeping face, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his black eyelashes cast heavy shadows through the sunlight.
The facial features are as delicate and beautiful as sculptures.
Pei Jing is so good-looking.
She breathed a sigh of relief and didn't dare to move for fear of waking him up.
The horn sound of morning exercises came from outside the tent, and Pei Jing opened his eyes instantly.
"Its daybreak?"
"Um."
He half-closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Did I oversleep?"
"Maybe it's comfortable to sleep with me."
She rubbed against his chest, stretched out her arms to wrap around his waist, and shamelessly asked for credit: "Let's sleep a little longer."
Pei Jing chuckled lightly. His original intention to get up was delayed by her soft hug. He stretched out his hand and hugged her waist.
A deep voice came from above her head.
"Ningning, I will send someone to take you back to Bianjing in a few days. This place is not suitable for you to stay for a long time."
She was startled for a moment. Pei Jing was so ruthless. She was not willing to go back and had not completed the task.
"I'm not going back, I want to stay here with you!"
"Be good and obey."
Her hands were already covering his abdominal muscles, and she said sweetly in her voice: "General Pei, if I leave, who will help you put out the fire here?"
The young man was already full of blood, so he couldn't stand her direct teasing. He reached out and grabbed her rebellious little hand.
"Don't be ridiculous, they are all outside."
She couldn't care so much, so she broke free from the restraints in his hands, turned over and sat on him, and said in a sweet voice, "Humph, at worst, I'll shout a little lower later, so they won't hear you."
His handsome face was full of forbearance. He lowered his voice and gritted his teeth: "Ning Ning!"
"Pei Jing, are you really willing to let me go?"
Pei Jing narrowed his eyes, "Of course I don't want you to leave."
She felt extremely wronged, "But why did you drive me away?"
"The environment here is harsh, and I don't want you to suffer here."
"I'm not a spoiled little princess, I'm a little princess who came from the cold palace."
He was startled.
She lay on top of him, her watery eyes turning red: "I just want to be with you and never be separated, okay?"
Pei Jing's hands fell on her soft hair and he sighed softly.
"I'm afraid you're in danger."
"I'm not afraid!"
"If I go to the front line, I won't be able to take care of you."
"I don't need your care."
"...I'm just afraid of what might happen."
"You don't have to worry about me. I will protect myself. I won't be a burden or burden to you. Just trust me, okay?"
Pei Jing's heart was heavy, why didn't he want to believe her.
She hugged him tightly, "Pei Jing, as long as I'm with you, I can endure any hardships and I'm not afraid of any dangers. Please don't drive me away, okay?"
Pei Jing's heart softened.
"good."
He stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes, and kissed her gently on the lips, "If you don't leave, just stay by my side..."
[System: The current favorability of the strategy target Pei Jing is 90%! 】
[Sheng Ningning: There is still 10%! 】
[System: Host, your coquettish behavior is really terrible! 】
[Sheng Ningning: Hehehe, that’s because Pei Jing is very easy to coax! 】
*****
After spending a few days in peace and harmony, just when Sheng Ningning thought the plot was about to collapse, an urgent report came from the spy ahead.
Spy: "Report! The Desert King has led 200,000 elite troops to attack us from the direction of Kata Desert!"
After receiving the report from the spies, Pei Jing immediately summoned his generals to make plans.
Pei Jing led the Jin army to guard the border and sent no more than 50,000 elite troops to focus on defense. The opponent suddenly came with 200,000 troops, killing the Jin army by surprise.
The deputy general was shocked: "Two hundred thousand? But we only have fifty thousand... Coach, what should we do?"
Captain: "What are you afraid of? At worst, we will do it head-on. I will go on an expedition with the commander, and I don't want to come back alive."
General Pi: "My subordinates will also follow the commander to the death!"
Pei Jing looked at the military advisor with a solemn face and asked, "Military advisor, what do you think?"
Military Advisor: "The enemy has 200,000 elite soldiers on the surface. If there are tens of thousands more sneak attacks secretly, we may not be able to resist. Now we can only send a message to Bianjing to send more reinforcements to support us!"
Pei Jing: "No, it will take half a month to get here from Bianjing. We can't carry it that long!"
Military Advisor: "General, it would be faster if we ask the Holy One to ask several nearby cities to support us!"
"This method is very good. You can go back to Beijing to ask for orders. I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to go back and forth."
Everyone was silent. The imperial court always likes to delay the efficiency of its work. It will delay you for a day or two just to report the secret order and military information.
They had suffered a lot from the civil servants before.
Now the elite soldiers of the desert are approaching the city, and there is no room for delay.
Pei Jing took out the map, pointed out three of the cities, and made a decision immediately: "The three cities closest to Jihai Town: Pingwang City, Longbei City, and Xiang'an City. These three cities have mobilized troops. It is conservatively estimated that there will be 20,000 to 30,000 reinforcements."
Everyone: "This is the only way!"
Pei Jing wrote down a secret order, then took out his token and gave it to his subordinates: "Chen Yu, you immediately order people to rush to these three cities, General Gu in Pingwang City, General Fu in Longbei City, Xiang'an City General Chen. All three of them have some friendship with me, so they said that the elite soldiers of the desert are attacking Yanbeiguan, and our army needs support!"
Chen Yu took the secret letter and token and hesitated in his heart: "Coach, what if none of the three of them are willing to send troops to support?"
Pei Jing said coldly: "You have to be willing if you don't want to! If we fall, none of them will survive!"
"Subordinates take orders!"
After Chen Yu left, Pei Jing began to distribute combat plans.
"The Desert Army is coming from the northwest. We are divided into three detachments. Lieutenant General Lin will lead the first detachment to block the west gate. Lieutenant Chen, you will lead the second detachment to guard the entrance of Jihai Town. The entrance of the town must not be lost! In addition, let the people first Evacuate to the north and south. The rest of the people, follow me to send troops to Yanbeiguan!"
"yes!!!"
Pei Jing's eyes turned cold and he ordered a boy beside him: "Send someone to protect the wife. Don't let her run around. If necessary, evacuate Jihai with the townspeople!"
"I obey my orders!"
