Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

Half an hour later all the seven hundred soldiers had gathered together and talked with each other, guessing what would be Senja's plan. If anything, they were all excited to know.

After all the rumors that they heard about Senja was the amazing things about how the young girl was able to save the national crisis at such a tender age and now, she would lead the attack toward Two thousand of Prince Xiao Wang Wei's force, the mentioning about the trebuchet that Senja had prepared made them believed that the young girl has a great plan to be executed.

This made them looking forward to what her instruction would be.

At this time, Senja was about to go to the backyard when Qianru stopped her.

"Senja are you sure about this?" She was still anxious about what Senja was going to do. "Are you sure the storm will come?" Once again Qianru glanced at the bright sky, doubting it would be a storm soon.

"I am sure and it will." Senja stroked her hand to reassure her, "You need to take care of yourself and your baby. Once the storm has passed you must go to the southern village. There will be fifty people to escort you and I will send fifty more to catch up when all of these had over."

Southern village was the village that Yu Long and his wife would be heading, it was the farthest place from the capital city and from the battlefield. It would be saver there for her.

"Don't worry about this. Everything would be alright." Senja said.

Reluctantly, Qianru nodded. "Thank you for all you have done, Senja… you are like my little sister for me."

"I would love to have you as my sister as well."

With that, they hugged each other, relishing the moment.

"Are you going again?"

The childish voice interrupted their moment that made both of them tilted their head toward the door.

Xiao Mugi was standing there with his green robe, his hair tied into a man bun atop of his small head. He looked as adorable as ever.

"Hei, boy!" Senja waved her hand happily and gave him a brief hug and kissed on the cheek.

"Are you going again?" Even with a hug and kiss couldn't change the taut on his face and his question.

"Yes, I am going."

"Where will you go? Don't you come with us?" Xiao Mugi had overheard Senja last arrangement to leave the fortress by tomorrow, but the thing that made him frowned was she didn't come with them.

"I have something to do."

"You just came."

"Yes," Senja took her sword and put it on her waist. "But, the situation that we are in now don't allow us to wait." She stroked the boy's head and smiled at him.

Xiao Mugi held her eyes with indifferent expression, but the light in his eyes dimmed. Reluctantly he nodded in understanding.

"There are many soldiers are waiting for you in the backyard."

"It's time for me to leave then."

"Are you going to make a speech?"

Senja thought about this for awhile, she indeed needed to say a few words to them. "I think so."

"Can I come?"

"Sure."

A little while later, the three of them walked out from the room with Xiao Mugi was flanked by Senja and Qianru on each side.

At the backyard, seven hundred soldiers had been waiting for her and as soon as her figure appeared the noises ceased down until it was only a voice of the southern wind which blowing on their expectant faces.

Senja let go of Xiao Mugi's hand walked her way toward the all of those man in front of her with calm demeanor and determined eyes. The arrogant air that emanated from her wasn't something that they could ignore, but also wasn't an intimidating things.

This attracted their attention toward her and made them wanted to lower their head in submissive. Despite Senja had lost her ability, but she was still able to conquer any respect from them.

"I will not waste our time with a long speech, what I will do is explain our plan. So, listen carefully."

Xiao Mugi was standing a few meters away behind Senja while holding Qianru's hand. All she could see was her back that covered with her purple hair, sometimes the wind that passed, blew away her hair and it was a beautiful sight to see.

However, it wasn't her purple hair that captivated the six years old boy's interest, it was the voice that as calm as a the wind that blew as she brilliantly elaborated the whole plan that made seven hundred people listen to her as if every breath that escape from her lips was important. They nodded their head unconsciously along with her speech.

Xiao Mugi had never seen his father speech, but to see a woman that could bring herself so calmly while talking in front of hundreds people around her and made them listened to her willingly was something that would always etched in his mind.

She was the most impressive woman that he had ever seen.

A cheeky smile form on the corner of the boy's lips as he thought that the woman was his father's wife that meant she would be his mother…
