The Noble Woman's Guide On How to Tease One's Husband

Chapter 99- Decisive battle

There were talks circulating amongst the troop, Phoenix Nirvana, which referred to Lisa.

With dark clouds weighing down heavily and the city under siege, the major political changes in Chu Country were imminent. Hence, the rumors were even more rampant, saying that Jungkook was originally the world's real descended dragon while his legal wife was naturally the phoenix whose death could be resurrected and returned unscathed even after jumping off Zhuolutai.

No one had thought that Lisa had actually arranged a retreat route and set Sehun up. Furthermore, no one knew that Jungkook deliberately rushed to use the conceit of auspiciousness as a substitute to spread the rumors to protect Lisa from being demonized and harrassed by others.

But this was only a matter of trifles like the sesame seeds. The most significant is that the allied forces of both Northern Land and Guanzhong will begin to attack the city in a couple of days.

The imperial army was mostly killed and wounded in the battle of Bailing Pass while most of those who survived had surrendered, leaving merely 50,000 people fleeing back to Buriram. Although they were still putting up desperate struggles, they were no longer enough to be feared. Afraid of being affected by the war, the people in Buriram hid in their homes all day long and dared not go out. Some court officials were still persuading Sehun to go south to Luo City while others evidently had already supported Jungkook. It was completely a chaotic mess from top to bottom and everywhere was not peaceful.

Under the joint planning of Jungkook, Chu Zhenghe, Hoony and others, the allied forces finally prepared for a sneak attack tonight.

Dusk was falling upon the vast world and the frosty snow remnant had yet to melt away as it glittered dazzlingly under the dimly discernible candlelight. It was close to midnight now. Lisa, who should have fallen asleep, was standing in the center of the brightly lit commander's tent and was still straightening out Jungkook's armor.

"I heard Wang Jun had switched to the highly fatal poisoned arrows a few days ago. You must be careful."

"I know."

He has always been closely brief that Lisa has long been used to. But at this moment, her heart kept on palpitating like it was about to bounce out of her throat. She couldn't help pressing her hand over her chest then thought aloud after a moment of consideration, "Not knowing if Lu Heng there has the antidote? I'll go ask him and if there is, give two pills for Elder Brother to take along too."

After saying that, she put down the hands that were fastening the buttons to turn around and about to go out when Jungkook quickly pulled her back into his arms then spoke with a little helpless mirth, "You know it's highly fatal, so how can there be an antidote?"

"Then, then can't also endure it futilely ah..."

Her tongue even began to get knotted and she was obviously worrying to the extreme. Seeing this, Jungkook gathered her in his arms and reassured her patiently, "Your Husband and Elder Brother are not fools, naturally we won't simply charge towards the poisoned arrows. Everything has been deployed, so just relax and go to bed. We will be back when the day breaks."

He urged Lisa to sit down on the side of the bed as he coaxed her. The one in the belly started moving again. Knowing the child was bothering her when Jungkook saw her frowning, his movement became all the more agile as he quickly took off her coat then covered her with the quilt.

"Okay, close your eyes."

It was not surprising that he was so nervous. Lisa's pregnancy was already unstable and letting her sleeplessly toss and turn with worries, he could not feel at ease too. So he turned around to sit down when the hard armor lightly scraped against the edge of the bed.
