Chapter 1042: A Small Victory

Editor: Henyee Translations

After reading the letter, Chu Qingzhi showed it to Tang Jinghong. Tang Jinghong thought to himself, no wonder the scouts reported that the actual number of troops seemed much higher, and that the deserted cities in Chen’an suddenly became more populated.

“Qingzhi, for the foreseeable future, I need to fully focus on commanding the battle. I may not be able to look after you. Take care of yourself.”

“Don’t worry. I’m a grown woman. I don’t need you to look after me all the time.”

Tang Jinghong pulled Chu Qingzhi into his arms, feeling both regretful and proud. “You’re so strong, you don’t need me. Sometimes I can’t help but think I might be holding you back.”

Chu Qingzhi gently patted Tang Jinghong’s back. “Just do what you can do well. Don’t worry about anything else.”

Tang Jinghong chuckled. “I will.”

Chu Qingzhi clenched her fist. “Defeat Xia Yunjan and teach him a good lesson!”

Tang Jinghong said firmly, “Let’s make sure he doesn’t return!”

Tang Jinghong gathered all his troops at the border, joining forces with General Chen’s garrison.

Half a month later, the two sides fought for the first time in a place called Pingrang, located between Chen’an and Dalin. It was a probing battle, not very fierce, and ended in a draw.

Chu Qingzhi went to gather information for Tang Jinghong and then had parrots deliver the messages quickly and accurately. “Jinghong, General Xia Qi from Xia Sang Kingdom has arrived.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Jinghong went to the front lines himself. “Xia Qi, aren’t you coming out to meet me?”

Soon, Xia Qi, who was about the same age as Tang Jinghong, with a burly figure, a full beard, wearing bronze armor, and riding a tall horse, emerged from the camp. “Tang Jinghong, long time no see.”
