My System Is Three Thousand Years Early Chapter 299: Chapter 103: Don't Play Like That! (Subscriptio

In the bridal chamber, red candles glowed brightly, exuding warmth as if to isolate all the chill from outside the room.

After entering the room, Qin Yanqiu sat down at the edge of the bed, her hands slightly tense, clasping tightly together.

The Female Martial God, Qin Yanqiu, who slayed enemies like grass on the battlefield, seed now more like a demure young lady.

Cheng Guang just glanced at her and couldn't help but shake his head with a chuckle.

He didn't plan to stay in the room for long, and it was still early; even if it were ti for the wedding night, there was no urgency at this mont.

He still had ti for what he wanted to do.

Cheng Guang turned, pushed the door open, and left the room, gently closing it behind him, heading toward the great hall.

The mont Cheng Guang stepped out of the room, Qin Yanqiu seed to feel sothing, her eyes slightly flickered, as if her bright eyes could see through the red silk and discern Cheng Guang's figure clearly.

Having entered the bridal chamber, Qin Yanqiu was already prepared for what Cheng Guang might do to her.

Although Qin Yanqiu had no interest in carnal pleasures, if the Duke wanted it, and her father wanted it, she wouldn't refuse.

However, she hadn't expected that after entering the bridal chamber, Cheng Guang showed little interest in her, only giving her one look before turning and leaving.

Was this... disinterest?

A look of surprise flickered in her icy eyes, mirroring the chill of the weather outside.

Qin Yanqiu's lips slightly pursed, her calm heart rippled for a mont before quickly settling down again.

She let out a slight sigh of relief.

It was fine if he wasn't interested; this way, she didn't need to expend effort in dealing with the esteed Princely Heir.

Even after the wedding, she could return to the battlefield.

anwhile.

Unaware of Qin Yanqiu's thoughts, Cheng Guang, having left the room and heading toward the great hall, made his way there.

At this ti, Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, was still toasting with the many generals, drinking rrily.

The unmistakable deanor of a military man was unquestionably present in the Duke Zhen Guo.

Cheng Guang did not want to disturb everyone's spirits, and when the Duke noticed Cheng Guang, he was montarily taken aback, having thought Cheng Guang would be impatient to be in the bridal chamber with Qin Yanqiu by now; he hadn't expected his return.

Then Duke Zhen Guo saw Cheng Guang raising his cup, toasting each of the generals who had co to the residence.

This surprised Duke Zhen Guo once again, sothing like relief shining through the stern wisdom in his aged eyes.

After Cheng Guang had greeted every general of the Northern Expedition Army and finished his toasts, he approached Duke Zhen Guo.

"Grandfather."

Cheng Guang smiled as he raised his cup to Duke Zhen Guo.

Duke Zhen Guo let out a hearty laugh, draining the cup handed to him by Cheng Guang, "Grandson, after you've finished your toasts, go back and keep Yanqiu company."

"I have watched that child Yanqiu grow up; although she may be a bit cold, she is a good match."

Cheng Guang nodded with a smile, not countering, but rely agreeing.

Then he said,

"Grandfather, I have sothing to tell you."

"Sothing? What is it?" Upon hearing Cheng Guang's words, Duke Zhen Guo was rather taken aback. He scrutinized Cheng Guang's face and saw a serious expression on it.

Duke Zhen Guo imdiately realized that Cheng Guang might have so important matter to discuss.

He frowned slightly, for even he couldn't think of what pressing issue his grandson could have that would bring him to seek counsel.

Was it sothing to do with Yanqiu that wasn't to his grandson's satisfaction?

That seed unlikely.

That child Yanqiu, though cold in disposition and not quite versed in the affections of a woman, would not have been discourteous to my grandson.

So what could it be?

At this mont, Duke Zhen Guo was at a loss.

Without further comnt, he simply stood up and with a smile excused himself to the gathered generals before pulling Cheng Guang aside to speak privately.

Once they entered the inner chamber of the great hall,

The noise from outside seed to be instantly cut off, and the air cald.

Duke Zhen Guo's body shook slightly, his sowhat flushed face instantly returned to normal.

For a martial artist with so cultivation, alcohol can be dispelled in an instant; it would not affect one's clarity of mind if one so wished.

"Grandson, what's the matter? What has happened?"

After bringing Cheng Guang into the inner chamber, Duke Zhen Guo first served him a cup of tea before asking.

Cheng Guang took a simple sip to moisten his throat before speaking:

"Grandfather, there are reports that there's been unrest in the Great Yan Dynasty recently. The Great Yan Dynasty might withdraw troops from the Border Area battlefields, and in the future, Demon Beasts could surge into the Great Yan Dynasty en masse, subsequently besieging our North City."

Cheng Guang spoke calmly, delivering the news.

Duke Zhen Guo, who had thought Cheng Guang's matter would only concern Qin Yanqiu, had not expected that Cheng Guang would bring up an issue relating to the Great Yan Dynasty.

As Cheng Guang's words reached Duke Zhen Guo's ears, his heart shuddered slightly, and his aged eyes widened a notch.

Unrest in the Great Yan Dynasty and a potential withdrawal of troops from the Border Area battlefields?

How could that be possible?

Duke Zhen Guo knew, even if his intelligence capabilities were not on par with the Bureau of the Lamp and he had not left North City for years, he still had so understanding of the affairs of the realm.

Not to ntion that there had been no signs of trouble from the Great Yan Dynasty recently, making unrest impossible.
