Chapter 813: Si Fuqing: I’ll Be With You (3)
The war dragged on for thirteen years, right until Emperor Yin’s passing.
The six-year-old JIANG Zhaoyue stared into her eyes, nodding slowly. “Brother Wuyi, I will remember what you said.”
Si Fuqing’s gaze trembled, “You…”
She knew that JIANG Zhaoyue truly achieved this.
She used her life to defend the nation’s borders, swearing never to retreat.
Si Fuqing lowered her hand, unable to look at the overly mature little girl.
The cruelty of history manifested here.
Knowing everything was, in a way, very cruel.
She knew JIANG Zhaoyue would die at twenty-two, knew this future nation’s heroine would die with her body riddled with arrows.
But she couldn’t say anything.
JIANG Zhaoyue sat on a chair, her eyes filled with longing. “Big brother and second brother have left. When I grow up, I will go find them. His Majesty also said that when I grow up, I will lead the troops into battle. I want to prove to everyone that I am no less than any man.”
Si Fuqing spoke softly, “Your big brother and second brother…”
JIANG Xuanjin and the other brothers went to Northern State seven years ago.
They returned seven years later, but only as corpses.
She lowered her head, and tears suddenly fell.
Jiang Zhaoyue was confused and at a loss. “Brother Wuyi, what… what’s wrong?”
Si Fuqing wiped her tears with her sleeve and smiled, “It’s nothing, you are truly amazing.”
Having seen the lively JIANG Zhaoyue, she couldn’t imagine the tragic death of the nation’s heroine.
“I’m not amazing yet.” JIANG Zhaoyue swung her short legs proudly. “My big brother is the best. The people say he’s even better than father and will be an even greater general.”
“And he’s the best-looking in our family. Many people have come to propose, but big brother doesn’t seem interested in romance. I wanted a niece, but he is useless.”
Si Fuqing blinked and smiled softly, “Yes.”
Destined to surpass his father, but unfortunately, he had no future.
“Brother Wuyi, let’s have a meal together later.” JIANG Zhaoyue tugged at her sleeve again. “Big brother said you are excellent in military strategy. I want to learn from you.”
She sighed, “But you are leaving soon too. When I grow up and go to Northern State to find my brothers, you must remember to teach me!”
“Alright.” Si Fuqing came back to herself, “I promise.”
“Let’s go.” JIANG Zhaoyue skipped a few steps, then coughed to appear more dignified, imitating JIANG Xuanjin’s walk.
It seemed from that moment, she was already a future nation’s heroine capable of leading an army.
[Your sleep time has ended. Extended sleep mode may harm your body. Would you like to enter Abyss Mode or wake up?]
Si Fuqing chose to wake up.
She opened her eyes and pushed open the game pod.
It was already dawn.
This time travel had no time limit. She had set a twenty-four-hour sleep mode.
In sleep mode, game time and real-time were 10:1, and she had just spent ten days.
She met Emperor Yin and also JIANG Zhaoyue.
Si Fuqing was still trying to gather herself.
The scene of JIANG Haiping and the 48,000 JIANG family soldiers dying on the battlefield still echoed in her mind.
It was too shocking.
Si Fuqing took a few deep breaths, drank a large glass of water, and finally calmed down.
She immediately grabbed her phone and called Sang Yanqing, “Sister Sang, I know how to play JIANG Zhaoyue now. Tell the director I can audition today.”
Sang Yanqing was startled, not quite understanding, exclaimed, “What did you say?!”
