Chapter 209 Try This
It was lunch time. Nan Yi heard her crying out for hunger and quickly ordered the cook to prepare something delicious to entertain Nan Yingzhi and Yun Ji who had come from afar.
The team that was going to deliver the military rations had not yet arrived from the capital, so the military rations at the front line were somewhat tight.
Nan Yingzhi stretched out her hand to stop him from pretending to be rich.
"Don't go to great lengths. Ask the cook to cook extra food for both of us," she said, taking Yun Ji in her arms. "Xiao Zhizi and I can just eat the same food as the other soldiers."
Yun Ji had no appetite for several days. He felt that he could not finish a table full of dishes and it would be a waste, so he nodded as a sign of agreement.
Seeing his daughter leaning on her brother's chest, Nan Yi suddenly remembered that he still had something to please his daughter.
Thinking of leaving a surprise for Yun Ji, he turned his head while Yun Ji was not paying attention and quietly told his subordinates to go to the street to buy some candies.
While waiting for the cook to bring the meal, Nan Yingzhi, under the guidance of Nan Yi, walked into the main tent and sat down in the main seat.
According to the rules, Yun Ji and Nan Yi should sit below, on both sides of her hands.
But he really didn't want to be separated from Nan Yingzhi, so he didn't sit over. Instead, he stood beside Nan Yingzhi and gently tugged at the corner of her clothes.
"Qingchuan'er," Nan Yingzhi felt that he didn't want to leave, so she held his hand back and lowered her voice, "Go sit over there, okay?"
Realizing that she didn't seem to want to keep him, Yun Ji shook her hand lightly, wishing he could just sit down and said, "No."
"Hey," Nan Yi was considerate and took the initiative to ask after seeing this scene, "Xiao Zhizi, do you want to sit with His Majesty?"
No longer caring about his face, Yun Ji made eye contact with Nan Yi and nodded resolutely.
The thought, "Little Gardenia only wants to sit with her man and doesn't want to sit next to me, her old father", suddenly popped up in Nan Yi's mind. He couldn't help but sigh, "Girls can't be kept at home when they grow up."
"Chang Yu," Nan Yi pointed to the chair prepared for Yun Ji, not wanting to be an obstacle in his pursuit of her husband, and said, "Move the chair over to Ying Zhi."
As he wished, Yun Ji tried his best to resist the urge to lean on Xiao Zhizi's shoulder and kept stroking her palm.
Seeing that he was clinging to her, Nan Yingzhi tried to divert his attention by talking.
"Little Gardenia," she was not used to calling Yun Ji "Little Gardenia". She paused before continuing, "Yuchi Yi is lying low and not doing anything. What do you think?"
When talking about business, Yun Ji put away the subtle fragility between his brows.
"He would give up and rush back, most likely for something important," he analyzed the information he had just received from Nan Yi, "but according to the spies,
“Firstly, this matter has nothing to do with the fate of Beishuo, and secondly, it has nothing to do with the internal strife within the royal family.
"Besides these, what else could make him so worried?
"I actually have a guess."
Eager to find someone to break the deadlock, Nan Yi's eyes lit up when he heard that he had an idea.
His expression was serious. He no longer treated Yun Ji as a good girl, but as a colleague: "You say."
"Qingchuan'er," Yun Ji paused as he called his name to Nan Yingzhi, "Didn't Yuchi Yi kidnap Yun Yan before?"
Not forgetting this, Nan Yingzhi nodded: "Not bad."
Yun Ji said confidently: "I suspect that his sudden return must have something to do with Yun Yan."
Knowing very little about the martial arts competition to recruit a bride, Nan Yi looked puzzled: "What is this? How is it related to the Seventh Princess?"
After listening to Nan Yingzhi's explanation about the forced love between Yuchi Yi and Yun Yan, Nan Yi was a little stunned.
After a long while, he finally uttered: "Princess, beauty is doomed to fail."
With the preliminary guess, Nan Yi was no longer in a state of panic all day long. He couldn't help feeling itchy after not seeing them for a long time.
Feeling like having a big drink, he called out to Chang Yu: "Bring some wine!"
"Dad," Yun Ji advised calmly, "We are on the battlefield right now. Drinking alcohol might cause trouble."
Nan Yi realized later that Yuchi Yi had not attacked for several days and he had become more and more casual. He slapped himself on the face and quickly suppressed the idea of underestimating the enemy.
"Little Gardenia," Chang Yu happened to bring the candy, and Nan Yi handed it to Yun Ji, "Try this, Daddy just sent someone to the town to buy it."
Yun Ji, who was eloquent just now, suddenly pursed his lips and cast a pleading look towards Nan Yingzhi without leaving any trace.
