If it hadn't been for the orderly army steps outside, this would've seemed as if they were simply going out for recreation. Apparently, the stern and unbiased King Ling also had a softer side with his beloved.
Since they were heading towards Border City, the marching soldiers seemed quite exhausted, as they had to run most of the time. Their resting time at noon was considerably short, and they all had to eat their own dry rations. Sometimes, they couldn't even get any hot water.
"You're quite good at keeping calm," Master Hui Zhen said, smiling as he sat on the grass and watched Lin Ziyin.
In her hands, Lin Ziyin held her ration too, which was relatively better than the others, consisting of pastries and snacks made in Shili Village. As it turned out, Chu Suifeng, her fiancé, did show a bit of favoritism towards her.
At this moment, Chu Suifeng, King Ling, was eating the same as all the soldiers were, holding a pancake stuffed with pickles and deep-fried dough sticks.
