Chapter 490 - 490: Gossiping
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
However, the starry sky in the Capital was not as beautiful as this place. Over here, the stars shone so brightly, it was as if one could pluck it straight out of the sky.
Thinking of his lover who was thousands of miles away, Ming Zhiyan’s heart softened. He wondered if the girl was looking at the same sky now.
He caressed the jade in his arms. The jade had become round and firm. It was obvious that he often played with it.
Behind a big tree not far away, a few Deputy Generals were standing there pushing and shoving each other. They stuck their heads out to look at Ming Zhiyan’s figure and asked with a gossipy expression, “Hey, what do you think the General is thinking about?”
Deputy General Zhong glanced at him and said disdainfully, “Is there a need to say? He must be thinking about Princess Ding’an again.”

Because every time there was a little free time, Ming Zhiyan would play with the jade that never left his body in a daze. They had seen Princess Dingan throw the jade from the city wall to the General, so they were already used to it.
Deputy General Wang looked like he was about to cry. “l miss my wife too, but soon. We’ll be able to meet in about twenty days. We’ve earned quite a lot of military profits this time, so they can live a better life.”
The others nodded in agreement and said, “This war is the fastest I’ve ever fought. In the past, it would take several years to fight. Now, it’s over in just half a year. Not only did we defend Great Wei, but we also destroyed an enemy country. This war is really satisfying!’
“Isn’t this all because of our General’s good command?” Deputy General Yin said proudly. “Otherwise, it would be really difficult to destroy Dongyue.”
His words won the unanimous approval of everyone. Deputy General Zhong sighed. “In the past, I felt that no one was worthy of Princess Dingan. She is so powerful, she knows everything and even found high-yield grain. How many people in Great Wei no longer starve because of her? In the past, I felt that none of the Young Masters in the Capital were worthy of her. Now that she has followed the General out to fight, 1 feel that the two of them are really a match made in heaven. They are both equally powerful!”
“That’s right, that’s right. I really don’t know how the General’s brain works. It seems like he can always predict the enemy’s next move and ruin their plans. Moreover, he’s a god-like soldier. For example, that Xiao Guo is not eye-catching in the army. I didn’t expect the General to send him as a spy. He did a good job. He brought us a lot of information and was not discovered until the end.’
The few of them chattered. Usually, everyone was silent and their faces were filled with a solemn and dignified aura. They did not expect that when it came to the person they admired, they would actually become so talkative.
Suddenly, a stone flew towards them, leaving a deep crease on the edge of the tree trunk.
They were shocked. They immediately looked up and saw the General standing on the stone and staring at them. They did not know how long he had been standing there.
“General, what a coincidence. You’re here to watch the stars too? We’re watching it too.”
Ming Zhiyan looked at them as if they were fools, but he did not pursue the matter too much and said, “Deputy General Yin, tell me where you are going tomorrow and the problems you will encounter.”
When it came to serious matters, Deputy General Yin immediately stood up straight and respectfully said, “Tomorrow, we will enter the deep mountains. There will be more poisonous insects and ferocious beasts than the places we went today. More importantly, we will have to pass through a miasma forest..”
