1309 Meaning
Zhou Huaijin did not reach out for the pastry, which was brought by Xiao Jin from South, thus not being in a large quantity. Chaoyan was not particular about food, and she ate whatever the kitchen served her, but she especially adored pastry and snacks, so Zhou Huaijin would leave it for her to enjoy.
So he did not reach out for it, but sat down and told her that.
That he was going to the border had been settled, so Zhou Huaijin had to tell Gu Chaoyan about this clearly.
Hearing that he was heading to the border… Gu Chaoyan did not have a surprised look on her face. Instead she ate the snacks, sipped her tea and looked at Zhou Huaijin calmly.
She had heard some stories about what was happening at the border. Many counties had been lost within a short time, which meant that the Saint Divine Land was not at all as strong as the North Qi Land in terms of military, but neither the King, the officers, or civilians in the capital would have any idea of how difficult life was for those who were in the lost counties.
Gu Chaoyan, on the other hand, had a lot of ideas about that.
No one in the court was suitable to be the chief to lead the armies, and most of those in the court were taking Zhou Huailing’s side.
Therefore, having Huaijin as the chief was a very good thing for the civilians at the border.
At least, Xinzhou could be kept and the civilians from Xinzhou would continue to live a peaceful life.
Gu Chaoyan nodded. “I see.”
“…”
“I don’t have much going on in the capital, so I can go with you.”
She could help with a lot of things, Gu Chaoyan thought.
Hearing that… Zhou Huaijin’s expression changed slightly. He looked worried and took hold of Gu Chaoyan’s hands, saying, “Chaoyan, the North Qi has so many magical monsters, so I am worried about you.”
Gu Chaoyan covered Zhou Huaijin’s hands with hers, saying, “Same here in the capital. I never like to hide, you know.”
“…”
“The war is happening all of a sudden, and I don’t think that there are enough doctors there. I can go there with Li Qing to be of some help. Also, I heard that Duke North has been seriously injured so I need to check on him, at least,” Gu Chaoyan said.
Zhou Huaijin, who had subconsciously countered her, suddenly found her words reasonable.
He did not want Chaoyan to take any risks or get injured, but at the same time, he understood that Chaoyan was different from the other ordinary girls. She was an independent woman, and she was not someone to be trapped in the backyard.
Zhou Huaijin nodded.
If Chaoyan was heading there with him, he needed to make better preparations.
He thought for a while…
Zhou Huaijin felt that there was nothing that needed to be prepared; Chaoyan could just go with him directly.
“Go and get ready, we are leaving tomorrow morning,” Zhou Huaijin said.
Gu Chaoyan nodded.
She asked Sword One to get some clothes ready.
