Chapter 100: The Dilemma of the Northwest

Lin Qing really calmed down after hearing Zhao Zimu. He looked fixedly at Zhao Zimu and said, "Three years. We agreed on three years. If you still don't come back after three years, you have to give up everything and come back to my side."

Otherwise, he would use every means to force her to come back and no one could stop it.

Zhao Zimu nodded at him and said, "Mm, when had I not done something I had promised you?"

When she finished saying this, Zhao Zimu suddenly remembered the last moment of her past life. Suddenly a trace of sadness surged in her heart and her face turned pale while looking at Lin Qing.

She chased from her past life to this life. She didn't want to miss him anymore.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Lin Qing asked anxiously while looking at her sudden change of face.

Zhao Zimu smiled and suddenly said to him, "Lin Qing, you seem to rarely call my name in an intimate tone. Why is that?"

Lin Qing was stumped for words and just watched her silently.

"Forget it," Zhao Zimu said in a low voice. "Let me know on the day you want to tell me."

Lin Qing's palm was pinched tightly by himself, but he didn't open his mouth to explain.

It wasn't that he didn't want to say it. It was that he didn't dare to say it.

Lin Qing had always felt that all of this was like flowers in a mirror and the moon reflected in the lake. He was afraid that if he touched it accidentally, everything would break like a pipe dream into pieces.

[1] Flowers in a mirror and the moon reflected in the lake: an unrealistic rosy view.

Lin Qing had everything in this life, but at the same time, he didn't have anything. What he had, others could only wish for their entire life, but would not be able to get it. What others had, he was also unable to get it forever.

Therefore, he was cautious and vigilant while taking every step for fear that one of his own mistakes would take back everything he has now. He couldn't do anything about that, but she must be his.

Because he was too cautious, he didn't even dare to say her name out loud.

Looking at the silent Lin Qing, Zhao Zimu stood up and told all the soldiers, "Everyone, listen. After resting for an hour and half, immediately set off back to Great Liang!"

Everyone couldn't help but cheer and were instantly in high spirits.

After an hour and half, everyone set off. Two days later, they arrived at a place not far from a town of Great Liang. Everyone was so excited that they couldn't wait to immediately return to Great Liang's camp and celebrate. This kind of emotional stirring after having escaped alive from mortal danger made them really in need to vent.

However, Zhao Zimu didn't instantly order them to speed up. Instead, she let them stop and sent a few outstanding soldiers to go to the front to investigate.

Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, Zhao Zimu said softly, "The Xiongnu could mount a sneak attack on you the first time, can they not do it the second time? So, if you want to keep your life and return safely to Great Liang, then, listen to me. Do not act without my orders."

She said this especially for Zhang Xin. Everyone was surprised and nodded respectfully. There was no questioning or doubts. Zhang Xin was also no exception.

Because after more than a half month of rushing on the grassland, Zhang Xin knew clearly that he wouldn't be wrong to listen to the person in front of him in terms of leading the battle.
