Transmigrator meets Reincarnator

Ch. 247 and Ch. 248

He Changdi looked down at them and recalled what Chu Lian had told him when she had given them to him. "Keep these," she had said. "They're better than what they issue in the army."

They weren't just better. He didn't even have to take them off when he was fighting in close quarters.

He Changdi stiffened at the memory.

He shut his eyes, as if trying to pull himself out of this sweet dreamscape.

What was going on? Why was Chu Lian like a constant shadow by his side?

The most disgraceful part of it was that he didn't hate that kind of feeling at all. He even continuously replayed memories in his mind as if he was addicted to them. For some reason, he still remembered every single word that the Chu Lian of this lifetime had said to him, down to the simplest greeting.

He Sanlang's thin lips pressed together as the depths of his eyes turned into a fathomless sea. His emotions crashed against the walls of his heart like the fierce waves of the azure ocean.

A crack appeared in his blank mask. He Changdi smiled bitterly. He had really been 'poisoned' by Chu Lian's drug.

That woman must be happily eating and drinking in the main camp while he was out fighting for the lives of the fifty thousand border troops. That seemed to be Chu Lian's superpower; somehow, no matter where she ended up, she would always manage to live well.

He Changdi felt a swell of dissatisfaction at the thought. It was almost like he had completely fallen for her tricks and had half of his heart stolen away as a result.

Just as his thoughts were about to meander back into daydreams, a few black dots appeared on the horizon.

As the dots grew bigger and bigger, He Sanlang's brows drew together slightly. He waved at the troops behind him and a small group broke off to scope out their incoming company.

Soon enough, they returned, toting three additional people with them.

Once the newcomers had drawn close enough, He Changdi recognised the leader straight away. He was one of the guards that Princess Wei had sent to keep Chu Lian safe.

For no reason at all, He Sanlang felt his heart sink. He had a bad feeling about this.

Li Xing ran up to He Changdi and immediately raised his hands in a cupped first greeting. Without giving himself time to catch his breath, he panted as he reported, "Third Young Master He, Honoured Lady has an urgent message for you. One day ago, the Tuhuns launched a major offensive against the northern army."

What?!

He Changdi's expression turned stormy. He quickly took the message from Li Xing's hands and opened it up.

Chu Lian's letter was short, but it explained all the necessary details he had to know about the situation in a concise and succinct manner.

She told He Changdi to return as fast as he could to the main camp once he read the letter. The stores of the northern army had already run empty. The Tuhuns might really defeat them if the supplies didn't reach in time.

Although both of them knew what was going to happen from their previous lives, there had been too many changes in this world. Neither of them could guarantee that events would happen exactly the same as they had in the past life. They weren't as silly as to leave the decision up to fate. That would be completely brainless.

He Changdi slipped the letter into his clothes once he was done reading.

The crease between his sharp brows deepened. He sent out orders to cancel the scheduled break for tonight and to rush back to camp at the fastest speed they could manage.
