Gu Fang Bu Zi Shang Vol02 Ch49

“Main General?! Main General! Wake up!”

Ruohan felt a splitting headache as he opened his eyes The advisory tent was brightly lit with candles He saw several faces of concerned generals above his head

Where was Chu Bejie?

Ruohan clutched to his head as he forcefully sat up “Where is he? Has he been caught?”

Everyone looked at each other Sen Rong was pushed by everyone towards the front His voice was a little muffled, “We heard General’s call and rushed into the advisory tent It was pitch-black everywhere and because we had no idea whether General was alive or not, it was chaotic as we panicked When the candles were lit, we searched around but could not find the assassin’s traces”

Ruohan sighed once and slapped his leg “damn it, such a pity!” But then he reht so easily He should have already thought of how to leave before entering the camp

Huacan was a newly proeneral He lowered his voice to report, “Fifteen of Main General’s guards were killed It appears to be a surprise attack, and they were killed by a single cut at the throat This assassin’s skill is truly terrifying”

The bodies of the guards had been personally checked by each general Each of the an expression on fear on everyone

Sen Rong shook his head “The four countries has never heard of such a terrifying assassin Perhaps it’s ti Lin’s ar happened to Main General and the army lost its advisor?”

“Yeah Who on earth was the assassin?”

Ruohan was silent for a long time, before he replied, “Chu Beijie”

Although the tent was huge, it was suddenly silent All the generals exchanged looks a what to say

Finally reacting, Sen Rong took a deep breath before opening his mouth wide to say, “He was actually the Duke of Zhen-Bei?”

The nahtmare

In Kanbu, Chu Beijie had almost destroyed their country This person had controlled the ene His swords

This tiain showed his courage and superior abilities

Who could not get a headache fro such an enemy?

“What on earth did he come here to do?”

“I’m not sure” Ruohan’s expression was extre” He then recounted what had happened Although it was very hu to be knocked out so easily, htly, so Ruohan still revealed everything honestly

Everyone understand that the intruder was Chu Beijie They did not doubt the words frohtest When they heard that Chu Beijie had declare to kill all of Bei Mo’s generals, one by one, all of thery that their eyes became red They loudly cursed him

Ruohan then said, “Chu Beijie’s words are perhaps not without ground If our army camp’s security rehly skilled people like him in the future”

When he said this, everyone went silent

The Bei Mo aranised or trained co Lin army Everyone knew that clearly

An army that Chu Beijie had tuned could only perhaps be evenly ainst He Xia

Ruohan looked outside the tent The sky had yet to brighten There was only a whisp of orange light faintly shi+ning through the gray clouds

“Our departure will not change We set off tomorrow, so you may all leave Let me think in peace for a while” As the people left, Ruohan called to Sen Rong, “Stay here”

Sen Rong nodded and sat down, thinking He frowned, “Main General, there is one thing that I don’t get at all, no matter how enerals and successfully infiltrated, but why did he only want Main General to pass on aspree?”

Ruohan replied, “I also think this reat faith in his skills in battle and is extreant He ienerals, one by one starting froer has any generals avaliable”

“But, Main General is already the highest ranking general in Bei Mo If Chu Beijie really wanted to do that, he wouldn’t let go of Main General”

Ruohan’s expression suddenly changed and he abruptly stood up from his chair “damn it, I know!”

Sen Rong was surprised “What does Main General know?”

Ruohan’s expression was solemn and his voice sunk He slowly replied, “Main General, Main General Ze Yin”

This tiht, he definitely wants to kill Main General Ze Yin first!”

Ze Yin was the pillar of the Bei Mo arh he had retired to live in a secluded residence, his prestige in the ared, the Bei Mo equivalent of Chu Beijie in the Dong Lin army

If the news of Ze Yin’s assassination by Chu Beijie was to spread through the world, then the morale of the Bei Mo army would collapse and become extremely vulnerable

Sen Rong was also a seasoned general who accompanied Ze Yin for many years He couldn’t help feel worried about Ze Yin He rubbed his hands anxiously, asking, “What to do? We can’t just sit back and watch aMain General’s life and death unfold”

“Main General is my Bei Mo’s fauards by his side I’aps and happen to succeed”

“We must immediately contact Main General, so that he is warned of Chu Beijie” Sen Rong suddenly re and he was distressed “No one knohere the Main General went to live in seclusion after resigning We must immediately send people out to find Main General, to report this news Chu Beijie holds all of Dong Lin’s military power and has many spies We mustn’t let him find Main General before we do”

Ruohan was confident and he smiled, “No need to worry, I know I’ll write a letter now Main General is a hero hih preparations, he will absolutely not let Chu Beijie succeed”

When early dawn fell, a fast horse rushed out frosen Mountains

Chu Beijie, who had been waiting for a long tirass of another hill saw the s rapidly in the distance He gently got up by using the beloved horse by his side “Tio find your female owner”

He turned tothe reins in his hands

The horse neighed, released its four legs to pound the yellow dust below, chasing after the er soldier

Judging by the direction the soldier was heading to, as expected, Ze Yin and Yangfeng’s secluded residence was sosen Mountains

Pingting, you have often , to me

If her secluded residence is near Yun Chang, then you will definitely go to find her, right?

Have you already seen Yangfeng? Or are you still on the way?

Chu Beijie is inco checkpoints, yet couldn’t get your whereabouts at all Although the sword in my hand is sharp, I cannot force out your whereabouts from the sky, in all these seas of snow

Pingting, please stop your footsteps and don’t drift around anyGo and see her

I ait for you there, catch you, hug you, kiss you and apologise to you I beg you to forgive ered like fragrance in the air I look forward to our love that can be as firm as a mountain

I already understand what is the greatest power, the end of the world and what is—to never turn against each other

Yun Chang capital was full of singing and joy throughout the night Multicoloured fireworks ascended to the sky with a bang, illuht on all of the peasant’s faces in the capital

The Princess and the Prince Consort returned

The luxurious carriage had all of its curtains raised Yaotian revealed a happy s and co scene was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the citizens

Following behind the tere the thousands of Yun Chang soldiers, safely returned to their home They had departed with certain death on the battlefield, but the skies had mercy on them There was no test of war in the end

What waited for the fireworks

And finally, good alcohol

“This cup is dedicated to Senior Official”

The colourful dance maids crossed the hed carefreely He Xia’s laughter was rich as he gulped down cup after cup of the endless cups the officials dedicated to him He then took the jar of alcohol hi at one side, s

Gui Changqing was a bit stunned by this, hurriedly lifting his own cup “I dare not, this cup is still dedicated to Prince Consort Prince Consort led the troops on such a faraway expedition It h”

He Xia drank quite a lot, his handsohtly flushed His dark eyes had no trace of tipsiness, however, as he said, “Senior Official is tootroops to war is simply manual labour Senior Official is the one who truly worked the hardest, handling affairs from the capital”

Gui Changqing had never been one to drink, but the reat news that even people who didn’t like to drink had to celebrate with a couple of drinks He collected his pride together and raised his cup, “Fine, a cup to the Prince Consort I also wish evity, hm, as well as heirs soon”

He Xia laughed at this, “Such an honest wish, thank you Senior Official!” He raised his head to drain the cup in a single gulp

“Prince Consort”

“Luyi?” He Xia turned around and saw Yaotian’s personalofficials, bustling with activity, before taking her to one side and lowering his voice, “Did the Princess summon me?”

Luyi shoo her head, biting onto her lower lip as she smiled “No The Princess toldbu to sleep and would like Prince Consort to see her tomorrow The Princess also said to be careful of your own body and not to drink totie your health”

He Xia broke into a laugh “I orried that I wouldn’t be able to last the alcohol here Now that the Princess has given her Order, then it’s perfect ti to send them all back home to sleep”

He immediately then used Yaotian’s words to break up the officials that still wanted to celebrate and left the Royal Residence first, to go to the Prince Consort Residence

The Prince Consort Residence long had its entrance wide open, withthe in the distance before hearing the sound of hooves Several people then stepped forwards

“Welcome back, Prince Consort!”

“Welcome back, Prince Consort!”

The horse stopped and Dongzhuo immediately went forwards to take the reins He raised his head, “Master, you’re back”

“Yeah” He Xia answered once before dish the door, he saw the several maids that had stepped forwards to welcohtly, “Why are there so o”

Dongzhuo took the reins and threw it at aaside He dismissed the other servants and followed his Master

He Xia’s strides were large and did not have any hint of stopping Dongzhuo hurried behind hiht for the rear courtyard and turned two or three corners before reaching the roo had lived in He suddenly stopped, stood outside the door, and for the longest time remained frozen

Dongzhuo quietly watched hi’s door, as if like a statue of wood From what he saw, he just felt desolation

He had thought He Xia was heartless back then and so when Yaotian had revolted, he had turned a blind eye and let Pingting go However, seeing He Xia today, he realised that he truly felt miserable

Dongzhuo felt guilty as well as sad He couldn’t help but walk towards hi, “Master”

He Xia returned to his senses when he heard his call He absent towards the door, raising his hands to push lightly on the door

Squeak…

A slight sound was produced fros entered his eye little by little

The flowers on thesill had already withered, and the bed had been cleaned properly, the mantle pulled to the side There was a pair of e table, a bronze ilded box that he had specifically ordered to bestood quietly The qin was still there It sat silently on the table, yet already had a thin layer of dust

He Xia strode into the rooht, as if afraid to break so his precious sword from his waist down onto the table

He had used that very sword to sword dance

Here, he was in this Prince Consort Residence

His sword gently ca water, s its dirty half which floated on the water like a quilt

Pingting was there She re

Her eyes were like watery sertips played the piece “Nine Days” Thehad not changed

He alht that the days had not passed, the seasons had not changed and death was non-existent

He had been wrong

In the depths of He Xia’s eyes, there was a cold light flashi+ng He rong, the days had passed and overturning the seasons did not exist

Scheh

He had painstakingly used all of his energy to protect this beautiful illusion of the past, yet just a single light-hearted Order from the Princess wiped it all way

Yaotian, his wife, the

He Xia was deeply jolted awake by facing the roo and the Prince Consort Residence that had lost its warmth

As long as Yaotian existed, he would always be the Prince Consort

A Prince Consort that was unable to keep his own maid

“Master, this guqin…shall I pack it away?”

“No need” He Xia gazed at the dusty guqin and the corners of his lips quivered slightly “Leave it, so it can wait for Pingting to come back”

Pingting will definitely return, return to my side

I refuse to let anyone steal s and will never allow anyone to tarnish the House of Jing-An again

I will not let the Royal House of Dong Lin and Gui Changqing, that daeezer, to bind my hands and feet

I will not let my ambition be succumbed under Yaotian’s tenderness or the throne

No one is allowed to treat me like that

Chu Beijie was now at the foot of the Songsen Mountains on his horse, after trailing behind themore mysteriously beautiful covered in white snow than usual

Yangfeng was in these mountains

Pingting should also be in these mountains

Perhaps she was playing qin, orabout heroes and beautiful woazed at the sole everywhere

He was very eager to see Pingting indeed

He longed to see her The longing in his drea he felt overall It was insufficient to restrain his anxiety

The er had been strictly ordered by Ruohan and was very careful to hurry on his way He kept on looking back constantly to see if he was being tailed, but no matter how capable he was, there was no way he could detect such an expert at tailing like Chu Beijie

Chu Beijie watched hi the mountain where Ze Yin’s secluded residence was located He rode his horse up the mountain and finally saw dozens of wooden cabins hidden in the forest

Chu Beijie began to dash forwards, but had yet to reach the cabins when several burly men suddenly jumped out from the side of the road They shouted, “Stop! Do you knohat this place is and still dare to loiter around?” Their swords were in their hands, cold light flashi+ng All of them were fairly skilled

These threats were a trifling matter to Chu Beijie and he didn’t care at all Chu Beijie didn’t defend or flee, he just sat on his hores as he looked around He lowered his voice, “Tell Ze Yin that Chu Beijie has arrived”

“Chu Beijie?”
