There are full stars in the sky, moonlights that don't sound anywhere but bug sounds around.

In the middle of the night, which would never be the time to visit if it were normal.

I visited Meng's mansion.

Even late at night, a housekeeper (or me) greeted me without a single disgusting face and took me through to a single room.

"Dear Tanaka,"

It was a beautiful woman who exchanged marriage promises that greeted me with a bouncing smile in that room.

"Hall of Monterey."

Big eyes of that slightly brighter colour shake into the warm light of the candle in the dim.

I was about to get sucked into those eyes, and I spoke in a bit of a hurry.

"How are you? Was there nothing on the road to Linzi? Have you been free since you got back? As for the Meng family, there will be enough security, but nothing disturbing?

Oh, what about Lord Meng? Have you had a good night?

Mr. Menglin was a little distracted by my arrow-hearted question, and laughed furiously.

"Yes, more escorts and a little more reclining, but I spend some time careful myself. Dear Tanaka, do something like your father."

That said, Mr. Meng Lin narrowed his eyes to miss whether he remembered his late father, Meng Yi (also a broom).

You were a good fool...... Mr. Meng Lin admired you too.

You were a good parent.

From now on, I will protect you on behalf of Lord Meng Yi.

I wish I could say something nice like that.

Scratch your head with the smell of illumination and impudence.

"When they leave again tomorrow..."

Mon Lin stares at me with such a worrying look.

Marriage is stretched again.

On the contrary, I might be able to come home safely......

"Yes, we will go after King Sai to Rinji.... Um, sorry to keep you waiting for your marriage"

To my apology, Mr. Meng Lin shook his head,

"No, Mr. Tanaka is one of the people in charge of the country's hub. I was once the daughter of a public official, too. We know very well that this is not the time to consider personal circumstances."

And lean against my chest.

"I can only pray, but I look forward to your return here. Please, be safe..."

There's someone waiting for me to come home.

Is that all I'm so happy about?

"I will definitely come back"

I held that shoulder and overlaid my lips.

◇ ◇ ◇

Sai Wang Tian (Deng Tan) left Linzi for more than twenty days.

The army is two or three days away.

Zhou Shi (Shufu) has joined the Wei army gathered outside the temple and is ahead to guide the Sami army.

A little further away to follow it, Tian Yue (Deng Ei) is the ex-military. Further aft, Sai Wang Tian Yi is refraining from the rear army.

The sun began to tilt and Tian Xiao, who had parked his march, set up a formation on a low hill.

Unable to fit on that hill, Tianye Army spreads to a flatland slightly off the hill, preceded by Zhou Shi's army further afield.

"Of the Siege Army, about 30,000 are on their way here, and we'll be confronted tomorrow."

During Tian Ying's formation, Tian Ying and Zhou Shi, who later visited the army for military discussions, had heard reports of scouts inside the curtain building.

"Thirty thousand is...... With 200,000 soldiers... is there any ruse?"

Tian Feng is surprised and thinks.

Zhou Shijun is about 10,000, Tian Yu's army is 20,000, and Tian Yu's own army is 20,000.

Sure, Wei's army in Zhou Shi is an awkward army of collected collaboration, but shall we intercept 50,000 troops altogether for 30,000?

"If you insult us as weak soldiers and Zhang Han takes direct command, it may be possible. That's all I have confidence in Zhang Han... he's actually strong."

Zhou Shi whines in remorse, not to either.

Tian Xiao asks the scouts as he strokes his chin.

"Is there any other movement in the Qin army?"

The questioned scout tells the Similar King what he heard from the other scouts.

"Seven days ago, she left the Qin army, which is besieging Lin Jie, for about 70,000, heading north. Probably reinforcements to Zhao."

In Zhao, Zhang Ear and Chen Yu, who were betrayed by Li Liang and killed Zhao Wang Wushen, sought out Zhao Xie, the descendant of the true King Zhao, and made him king, and set Xindu as his new capital and went out to fight back.

They defeated the traitor Li Liang, who fled to Zhang Han's place.

In contrast, Zhang Han turned to Zhao for Wang Leaving, who had joined him from the north, and now repeated his fierce offensive with Handan.

Zhang Han seems to have sent reinforcements from the glued army of Lin Jie to Zhao.

"I see. Reinforcements to Zhao will reduce the number of troops in the siege, plus if we send out a large army to us, the siege will be even thinner. I was wondering if that's why only 30,000 soldiers could come this way."

Zhou Shi was so convinced.

"But still, 30,000 is too little."

"Let's have Zhang Han's pride there."

Zhou Shi overtakes Tian Feng's worries, prompting him to follow suit.

"Thanks to Zhao, the number of sieged troops has decreased. And it also seems to have conveyed that we are approaching right there in the castle, and the castle is squeezing its last strength, but I thought I'd have ten more days to hold it."

After completing the report, the scouts withdrew, and Zhou Shi's voice echoed in the curtain hall where they became three.

"Looks like the limit is close. First, kick the approaching 30,000. The battle that followed..."

Tian Yu looked at Zhou Shi and consulted whether there were any measures in place. In response to that gaze, Zhou Shi advanced.

"The Similar Army wants you to hang a yang from the east of the castle. In the meantime, our Wei army will enter the castle from the south, delivering supplies and soldiers. If it crosses, the castle will breathe back."

Tian Feng hears that he is also prepared to think of Zhou Shi as reckless, and turns his mercy (renbin) eyes.

"Though there is a positive movement, the opponent is still 100,000. … will be a decisive assault."

Zhou Shi smiled quietly and shook his head.

"If King Wei falls, there will be no point in my life either. If King Wei helps me even if I fall, there's no point in me dying"

The eyes that dwell on the flames of determination are unwavering.

"As long as we can deliver supplies and soldiers, we can continue to cage castles like this. Eventually, if the movements everywhere become more active, the Qin army will not be able to stay here at all times."

Tian Xiao, Tian Feng could not find any words to hang, he could only gaze at Zhou Shi.

Zhou Shi, who regarded the silence as an affirmation, gives a compliment.

"I'm going back to formation. First, I want to overwhelm tomorrow in the field and deliver the light of hope to those who wait in the castle. Please help me."

Tian Xiao looked at his prepared eyes and responded.

"... um. Let's show the luxurious Qin army Wei's strength and new strength of concurrence."

Zhou Shi thanked him again for his words and left the curtain building.

"You're a martyr."

"Yes, King Wei, who can turn his allegiance to such a man, and his younger brother Leopard, are also virtuous people."

Looking at Zhou Shi's exit, the two speak.

"I will return to my own formation, too. The king is ready for tomorrow, and may he rest soon..."

"Prosperity"

Tian Yu's voice hangs on Tian Yung's back as he tries to leave with a gratuity.

"Don't die. Run if you have to."

Tian Yue turned around,

"Weakness is forbidden. But if you run away, I'll take care of you."

That's what I said and smiled, leaving the curtain hall.

Tian Xiao shrugs in the curtain hall where he was alone.

"I can't get rid of a bad feeling. Prosperity, beside you. Even if I fall..."

The night book is not yet up, and the cloudy sky is not moonlight.

But this morning's sun, which will be battling 30,000 Qin troops, will climb in less than a moment. If the night starts to whiten, the soldiers will get up and get ready for the war.

Tian Xiao, sitting on the bed, was having a sleepless night.

And I could still hear the hustle and bustle from outside the curtain hall surrounded by darkness.
