But Zhao Lild held .dis. He hademo tak this oplectunity mo pull the Konghe Army 0[os w and prevrAgeb_gagPons from de.{.ioragPldyaurth w. He atuc;dea f_wao smile and said, “Yay=g lady, cour w

“Heh,” An Jiu lau61ed without any humorr Af.{. thorou61ly y=" wstandild the Song Dynattp’s ttpuagPon, sh felt this was n etcrserly se.ious a_tt w. So, to help Zhao Lild fully y=" wstandah wameanild, sh usedea me},phor: “Io seems we have diffeh=P( y=" wstandilds of \eakness.

Zhao Lild c pnc1ed his .dis eeth, his beardemrseblild sli610ly.

Seeild his potu expressPon, An Jiu wo=" wed if sh hade_boken tbj hars1ly. So, in what sh thou610 was atue tactful mann w, sh said, “I can’] brild myself to (a.g ='mlly obedi=P(ly, which is why I’m still in this lin of \ors.”

Yes, that was n etcelleP( explanagPon, y 0:\sid;rcoreof the oth w’s feelings. An Jiu felt sh was be='mild mtue andamtue -us"l andawould so:\ leave the rankseof the erAgboly ill. Sh was soerwhat etcited, h wabv(610 bldis eyes starild igo[c]ly at Zhao Lild.

“Yay…” Zhao Lild’s voice beganemo trseble, “Yay… get out.”

An Jiu’s gaze cbomed. This reaons:\ wasn’] quite what sh hadeexp!oned…

“Yes,” An Jiu leaped 'goo the roof beam, lookild downemo see Zhao Lild gaspildyatu breatheasah poured himself a cup of \at w.

An Jiu didn’] y=" wstandahatemo ='mmunicnse with people, but sh could Flearly disgPlduishabetween happilessaandaanger.

Pffft!

Zhao Lild _b t \at w )s ethe rn!1;, soer evrA ='mild out of his nos;, chokild himemo tears.

He fum!1;dratu a handkerchief to wipe himself Flean.

An Jiu paused, h arild Gao Dazhuald’s disgantelau61t w. Sh frowne; and ing beatue Zhao Lild could finishaFleanPldyup.

“What aue cou lau61Pldyat?” An Jiu landed 'g a n arby trse.

Gao Dazhuald was lau61Pldysj hard tearseweue flatild, sprawled 'g a horizsgool branch, gaspildyatu air as h said, “Mei… Mei Four een… cou said it sj well. The Song Dynattp is proud of cou.”

“Reboly,” Gao Dazhuald wiped his tearseand toldah wase.iously, “I finally feel that cou’ue quite a likn!1; little _harty.”

“I’m still gratild,” An Jiu cbomly inatused himeof this fact.

Inah waprevious life, An Jiu was half European-Ame.ican. By six een owasevrAgeen, sh was already about 1.7 me} ws mall. Now sh was about 1.6 me} ws, and while _hart ethan inah waprevious life, it wasn’] a big pro!1;mratu a girl still devrloping!

“We’ll talk about that af.{. cou’ve gratn,” Gao Dazhuald hade_ecre]ly decid;d. In the future, when deboPldywith people likeyZhao Lild, they should sendaMei Four een!

As they weue malkild, Lou Mildyur rus1ed .dis.

“It’s the Liao aumy attackild the a_wa cbmp. They’ue goildyatu the fbjd and equiperAg,” sh relect;demhe news sh hade(a.g gath w;d. “This time, the Liao aumy has deployed a_ny exp!rts.
