Chapter 156: The Young General and the Handsome Emperor (9)
Page (1/3)
Wei Jingyu was an excellent older brother. Since Asi had followed him, a grown man, onto the battlefield from childhood, living far from her parents and the capital, he treated her exceptionally well—and was equally strict with her.
Deep down, Wei Jingyu hoped that Asi could remain as carefree and worry-free as she was now. He had grown up in the capital and had seen far too many affected young ladies from noble families. That Asi could live so freely, doing whatever she pleased, made him genuinely happy.
At the same time, Asi was his little sister, raised by his side since childhood, so Wei Jingyu sometimes fussed over her like a mother.
Wei Jingyu widened his eyes, and the little girl immediately shrank back.
Asi looked at Wei Jingyu and set down the medicinal ointment in her hand.
She even reached out to touch her little bag of sweets.
It had not been discovered...
Asi let out a long breath.
With a smile, she said, “Well, there isn’t a physician here, so Asi was the one applying it to His Highness. Just look at all those wounds on him. If we delay, they’ll leave scars.”
The little girl’s eyes were clear to the bottom, sparkling brightly, with the faintest hint of ingratiation.
The curve of her smile made the expression Wei Jingyu had deliberately darkened twitch into a smile.
He said to Asi, “Go outside first. I’ll take care of His Highness here.”
Asi immediately nodded obediently.
Before leaving, she glanced at Yan Ancheng, who was half reclining on the bed.
The young man’s eyes were lowered halfway, and he looked utterly desolate.
But Asi did not notice. She only saw that Yan Ancheng happened to be looking at her.
Asi blinked at him.
Then she ran out cheerfully.

Asi walked to a rather secluded spot.
She looked around, and seeing no one nearby, secretly took the packet of sweets from her pocket and put a piece of malt candy into her mouth.
The little girl’s eyes narrowed in delight at the sweetness.
Tan, perched on Asi’s shoulder, cried anxiously, “I want some too! Give me a piece!”
Asi looked at the malt candies in the packet. Reluctantly, she picked one up and held it to Tan’s mouth. The candy vanished at once.
She said sorrowfully, “You can only have one piece. There are so few left—I can hardly bear to eat them myself.”
The moment Asi finished saying that she could hardly bear to eat them, she took out another piece and put it in her mouth.
Then she quickly folded up the packet and tucked it back into her pocket.
Tan: “!!!”
Tan: “Asi, that’s not fair!”
With the candy in her mouth, the little girl mumbled, “You’re so tiny, while I’m this big. Of course I should get to eat more than you.”
Asi held out her hand and gestured at Tan’s body.
She smiled proudly.
Tan left Asi’s shoulder in utter despair and drifted away into the distance alone.

Asi had captured the Crown Prince of the Nunu Kingdom.

The King of the Nunu Kingdom was frantic with worry.
The old emperor in the distant capital learned that the Fourth Prince had been rescued and that the beloved eldest son of the King of the Nunu Kingdom had been captured by one of General Sima’s subordinates.
He immediately amended the imperial edict.
He ordered Sima Shan to conquer the Nunu Kingdom.
The old emperor was simply dreaming. Provisions were crucial in warfare, but ever since the court had cut the army’s grain allotments the previous year, their supplies had grown increasingly scarce.
That did not dampen Sima Shan and his subordinates’ enthusiasm for attacking the Nunu Kingdom.
It did, however, give them a few more grievances against the old emperor.
-
Yan Ancheng was escorted back to the capital.
Before leaving, he did not see Asi even once.
She had gone with Sima Shan’s army to attack the Nunu Kingdom.
Yan Ancheng: I’m unhappy. The little general didn’t come to see me off! Asi has to comfort me before I’ll feel better!
Foolish Author: How about everyone casting a vote to comfort him?
Yan Ancheng: ...All right.
Hahaha, hand over your votes!
