Chapter 1135
Whoever Is General Will Die
After separating from Xuan Tianming, Feng Yuheng travelled for seven more days, finally reaching the capital.
On the surface, the capital did not change that much, the streets were still lively, the citizens were still comfortable, the merchants also walked through the streets, passionately introducing the goods they were carrying to others. Occasionally, some arguments could be heard, but they were settled quickly, both parties compromised and came to an agreement.
But this was the relative stability which could be seen on the surface, in reality, perceptive people would be able to see the waves and turmoil hidden within. Wang Chuan told Feng Yuheng: “Young Miss, the troops on garrison duty have been increased, it is stricter compared to when we left.” As she spoke, she pointed to a tea booth next to the street, “Young Miss, look, the four people sitting over there and drinking tea, they are not normal citizens, but are officials in disguise.”
Feng Yuheng looked in that direction, the four people drinking tea in that tea booth also looked over in her direction at this moment, then they took the initiative to nod, confirming their identities.
Feng Yuheng knew that the other party recognised her and bowed in return. Even though she did not know which faction deployed them, but in the end, those who would actively nod and acknowledge her should be her allies.
“There are still hidden guards in the shadows!” Huang Quan also spoke, “It should be arranged by His Highness the Sixth Prince.”
As the few of them were speaking, Feng Yuheng’s gaze was suddenly attracted to the entrance of an alley. Of course, it was not that the alley was that attention grabbing, but a person was standing in that alleyway. That was a woman, her clothes were normal and not that valuable, dressed up like a Madam from a normal family. That woman’s appearance was also very normal, it could not be considered pretty, but it was not ugly as well, considered the type which was difficult to find if they were thrown into a crowd of people. But her eyes were able to produce a sort of energy which sent chills in Feng Yuheng’s heart, such that when Feng Yuheng took a look at her, her heart would shiver constantly.
She stopped the horse and stared at that spot. It was as if her heart had stopped, as if she had returned to that night when she executed Yu Qianyin, she saw that person on the city walls then, those pair of eyes, the information shown in those eyes made her feel like it was difficult to breathe.
Who was she? Feng Yuheng roared this question out in the bottom of her heart, she really wanted to know who that person was, why did she feel so familiar even though they have never met? What was such a normal person able to make her feel resonance such that she could not control it?
No one knew, when she saw that woman, her heart would jump for joy involuntarily, it was as if a child who was lost for many years finally returning to their homeland, wanting to lunge into the door of their home so strongly, jumping into the arms of their parents.
Why is that?
“Quickly! Catch that woman!” Finally, Feng Yuheng came to her senses, immediately stretching out her arm and pointing to that alleyway, instructing Wang Chuan and Huang Quan: “Catch her! That woman, the one wearing the blue cloth shirt, go and capture her!”
Wang Chuan and Huang Quan did not understand the reason, but their actions were extremely fast, once Feng Yuheng gave her instructions, the two immediately jumped off the horses’ backs, sweeping over towards that alley with Qing Gong.
Unfortunately, that woman seemed to have people assisting her nearby, that person’s actions were faster than Wang Chuan and Huang Quan, they grabbed that woman, then turned around and ran, their figures disappearing quickly.
Feng Yuheng saw everything from where she was on her horse, it was a man who took the woman away, even though his face was covered, she could still recognise that it was Bu Cong. Unfortunately, they could not catch up to him. Unexpectedly, Bu Cong’s Qing Gong was this good, even Wang Chuan could not catch up, and her Qing Gong which was like a three-legged cat was even more helpless against that.
Very quickly, Wang Chuan and Huang Quan returned, telling her in frustration: “Young Miss, the other party’s skills were too fast, we could not catch up, we ask Young Miss to hand down the punishment.”
She waved her hand in dismissal, “Why should I punish you? Forget it, if you cannot catch up, then that’s how it is, since they have already arrived in Da Shun, they will appear sooner or later, we should just wait!”
“Does Young Miss recognise that woman? Do you know who she is?” Huang Quan asked in confusion: “This Servant does not recognise her at all.”
Feng Yuheng shook her head, “I do not know her.” Then she did not speak anymore, her expression darkening.
She did not know her? Then why did it feel like they had known each other their whole lives? She had a bold thought in her heart, based on how her body would react instinctively every single time that woman appeared, she could practically determine the identity of that woman. Thinking about it again, her grandfather and her could reincarnate, then there was no reason why that person would be unable to do so?
Thinking to this point, she shuddered. If that person really returned, then, where should she go from here? And, why was that person together with Bu Cong? Bu Cong originally suspected her identity, with that woman at his side, would he know even more? Other than that, how many people knew about this secret? Would that person keep the secret tightly, or would she announce it widely? How could she guard against this?
Feng Yuheng felt her mind was in a mess, she even thought, how would Xuan Tianming handle this matter if he knew about it? Strictly speaking, she was only a ghost, a ghost who borrowed another person’s corpse to return the soul, can the ancient people accept this fact?
In the deep underground manor of the Bu family, Bu Cong grabbed Chunyu Ling directly and returned to the bedroom. Chunyu Ling was carried by him the whole time while running with Qing Gong, and she still had some lingering fear now. When Bu Cong let go of her, she could not keep herself steady, sitting on the mattress in a clumsy manner.
Gasping for breath a few times, Chunyu Ling looked towards Bu Cong, opening her mouth, but not knowing what to say. After floundering around for a long time, she finally said: “Thank you.”
Bu Cong asked in return: “Why are you thanking me?”
“T…… thank you for taking action to help me in time, else my goals would have been exposed and I would have been captured.” Chunyu Ling adjusted her state a little, then told Bu Cong: “I only went out to take a walk, I didn’t actively cause any trouble.”
“I know.” Bu Cong sat down as well, looking at Chunyu Ling, speaking as if he was just chatting: “Ling-er, do you know who the two people who chased you just now where? And the Master of those two people, do you know who that is?”
Chunyu Ling trembled obviously, then she shook her head in a daze, “I don’t know.”
“You don’t know?” Bu Cong smiled kindly, “Then husband will tell you, for those two people, one is named Wang Chuan, one is named Huang Quan. Four years ago, when Da Shun’s Ninth Prince presented dowry to the Feng family, they were the personal maids given to his fiancée Feng Yuheng. Both their martial arts abilities are very high, achieving much by protecting Feng Yuheng over the years. Oh yes, the woman riding on the horse today and instructing those two people would be Feng Yuheng, the Second Miss of the Left Prime Minster in the past. Do you know of Da Shun’s ex-Left Prime Minster? That Left Prime Minister at that time was Feng Jinyuan, that would be Feng Yuheng’s father, but this father who was worse than an animal, he sent Feng Yuheng and her mother to the mountains of the northwest, not caring if they lived or died. But unexpectedly, after taking them back three years later, it was as if that Feng Yuheng became a different person, cleaning up the Feng manor from top to bottom until nothing was left, Feng Jinyuan, Elderly Grandmother Feng, Chen Shi, Feng Chenyu, Feng Zihao, all of them died to her schemes. One small woman dealt with so many people! What do you think, is she amazing or not?”
Chunyu Ling listened to this, quickly sinking into her memories, her memories related to Feng family in the past gushed forward, flooding her mind, causing her pain.
She shook her head with some force, not willing to think about these things, even more unwilling to act too strangely in front of Bu Cong, so she tried to best to force herself not think about this again, and even agitated Bu Cong in return: “I heard that your Bu family’s demise was also because of her?”
Bu Cong nodded, “You are correct, the Bu family did offend Feng Yuheng, starting from Bu Nishang until that Highness Concubine Gui in the imperial palace, they thoroughly offended Feng Yuheng step by step. Therefore, there was no good ending for the Bu family. Look, Feng Yuheng is this amazing, for you to be able to escape from under her palm today, this is a lucky thing.”
Chunyu Ling frowned, saying: “I can escape because Husband came over in time, with this, Husband’s martial arts is still better than them.”
“That is only being better than those two girls.” As Bu Cong spoke, thinking of that duel he had with Feng Yuheng in the past at the path where the horses were dismounted. Thinking about it a few years later, his heart still felt palpitations with regards to Feng Yuheng’s beautiful martial arts. “If I am facing Feng Yuheng, it would be hard to predict who is stronger!” He had to admit this matter. “For a girl to transform into this after being in the northwest for a short three years, say, don’t you think it’s very strange? When Feng Yuheng returned to the capital, she changed until she didn’t resemble herself that much anymore.”
For these words, Bu Cong did not expect Chunyu Ling to reply, he only carefully observed Chunyu Ling’s reaction, then remembered Feng Yuheng’s behaviour when she noticed Chunyu Ling. Then, with regards to his bold guess earlier, he gained more confirmation on this.
At the capital, Feng Yuheng became flustered because Chunyu Ling appeared, and currently at the eastern border, Xuan Tianhua’s large army was currently walking in a long ravine. Once they passed though this ravine, they would be able to pass by Fu Province, arriving directly outside the first city of Zong Sui, Bin City.
This route was an unfamiliar one for Qian Li, he had come to the eastern border a few times in the past, but he had never taken this path. Moreover, he did not understand why they did not stop by Fu Province first? Why must they take a detour around the original path? He asked Xuan Tianhua: “Does Your Highness the Seventh Prince have the intentions of ditching His Highness the Ninth Prince? We have taken this route, those with sharp observation skills can tell, all the routes which we should have taken were not taken, and all the routes which we should not have taken were all taken, and this route is too unfamiliar, This Subordinate has tried to remember, but has not seen this place before. Can Your Highness the Seventh Prince tell This Subordinate the truth, why is it like this?” He was not suspecting Xuan Tianhua, but that it was too strange. During these days, the soldiers in the army were also very confused about this and some people asked him about this a few times in private, but he could not give any answer.
Xuan Tianhua also knew this question would definitely be asked, travelling to this place now, he no longer hid anything, telling Qian Li honestly: “I am trying to ditch your His Highness the Ninth Prince. What? Is it bad to follow This Prince to attack Zong Sui? Do you feel that This Prince’s principles of leading troops are inferior to your His Highness the Ninth Prince, or do you feel that This Prince’s aura is not enough to frighten three armies?”
“No, no, no, This Subordinate definitely does not have such thoughts.” Qian Li waved his hand many times, “His Highness the Ninth Prince had already instruction, no matter when, you and Princess Yu can command us Brothers, we will all listen to you. It’s just that everyone is thinking that it is strange, why must you ditch His Highness the Ninth Prince?”
“Didn’t I tell you before, it is so that he can spend more good days with Princess Yu,” Xuan Tianhua spoke neither quickly nor slowly, “Once Ming-er goes on the battlefield, the husband and wife are going to be separated again?”
“But……” Qian Li still felt that something was not right, this reason was too forced. For a real man, they could not simply not care about the country because of the love affairs between a man and woman! His Highness and Princess Yu were not that type of people.
Xuan Tianhua looked at him, a bitter smile surfacing on his face, “Forget it.” He waved his hand in dismissal, “If I do not speak the truth, you will always a knot in your heart. Then This Prince will tell you, the Heavens have shown, for this battle against Zong Sui, it would be a narrow victory, the possibility of death is higher than the possibility of survival, whoever is General would die! Therefore, This Prince is dying in Ming-er’s place!”
