Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation      Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Zhiqing spent half a month’s time and finally arrived at Ling City. Ming Zhiyan was stationed here and as long as he could take down Ling City, he would be able to reach Dongyue’s Capital.

However, because of the continuous months of war, the Wei soldiers were already very tired. In addition, the supplies had not arrived yet. So, Ming Zhiyan intended to use delaying tactics to prolong the attack, he would occasionally send a small team to harass them.

Not only did this allow the soldiers to rest, but the enemy would also not dare to act rashly.

Now that the Dongyue army was annoyed by Ming Zhiyan, they were afraid. Even if Ming Zhiyan did not do anything to them, they did not dare to take the initiative to attack, afraid that there was a conspiracy.

Every time they saw the Wei army, they were prepared for it, but they only sneaked away after a sneak attack, not even touching the corner of their clothes.

After doing this a few times, the Dongyue army was already mentally exhausted by the Wei army. They waited for the news of the Wei army’s appearance every time, but they could not see their figures.

But if they let their guard down, they might really do it again.

When the time came, they might really break the city if they were not prepared enough.

Although many people privately believed that the city would be conquered sooner or later, those who had the means had already run away with their families.

However, these words could not be said out in the open. Even though

Dongyue’s luck was running out, the person above was still there. It would be as easy as turning his hand over if he wanted to kill them.

However, they had recently heard that the person in the palace was planning to move the Capital to the South. Even in this state, he was still carrying out large-scale construction, wasting money and people. Even their military pay had been deducted. This made them so angry that they wished they could surrender.

To them, it would be better to surrender obediently. At least they could keep their lives.

Ming Zhiyan was in the tent discussing matters with the generals, a soldier suddenly shouted from outside, “General! Someone’s here to deliver supplies!”

Ming Zhiyan stood up and was in a rare good mood. He curled his lips and said with a smile, “Let’s go out and welcome them.”

The generals were also very happy. They laughed and said, “With the resources, we can finally attack Ling City! Our brothers are all bored to death!”

After they left, Ming Zhiyan realized that the people who had come to escort the rations were old acquaintances.

“Why are you here?” he asked, surprised.

Lin Zhiqing smiled gently. “Qingqing needs me, so I’m here.”

Ming Zhiyan was inexplicably unhappy, he said coldly, “Don’t casually call her by her maiden name.”

Lin Zhiqing was not threatened at all. He smiled. “We’re friends. Why can’t I call her that?”

Ming Zhiyan looked at him coldly and said, “Leave the things here. You can go back now. The battlefield is dangerous, so don’t stay here.”

Lin Zhiqing replied with an ‘Oh’ and casually said, “Alright then, I’ll take my leave. Aiya, it’s a pity that some people don’t care about the letter that Qingqing painstakingly wrote.”

Ming Zhiyan frowned and shouted, “Stop!’

He looked at Lin Zhiqing and asked, “Did Qingqing ask you to deliver the letter? Leave the letter!”

Lin Zhiqing smiled provocatively. “Then I wonder if General Ming is still going to chase me away? I’m just a commoner. If Great General Ming doesn’t want me to stay here, I wouldn’t dare to.”

“What do you want?” Ming Zhiyan asked with a frown.

Lin Zhiqing smiled. “Don’t worry about it. Let’s eat and drink well first. Ah, it was such a tough journey here. My clothes are all dirty..”
