Vol 7 Chapter 35 (2/2)

“My lord, they’re all settled in, and we’ve come up with a command roster.” Wen Yuan waved at me and pointed at a pillar behind which had a piece of silk stuck to it that was covered in words, “It’s Chen Gong and Zhou Cang’s turns today. Everyone came back to rest since we’ve been at it for a week now.”

“Oh~ I see. Eh? Where’s Feng Xian?” I asked as I looked about.

“My lord (Lu Bu) has gone out to buy wine. She said that she wanted something a little fiery now that she’s finally gotten a day of rest.”

Un, that’s fine.

Feng Xian POV

I couldn’t hold back the impulse to get some wine.

Ah… My body aches all over. I’m so tired too.

I never thought that being the commander of an entire army would be so tiring. I have to manage discipline and morale, do accounts, and that Chen Gong fellow keeps nagging all day and night.

I usually leave Wen Yuan to do all this for me, and she even told me it wasn’t tiring or difficult and was even a good experience. Now I see that it’s all a lie. I’d rather not have the position and get to slack off. I can handle fights and wars but command is another things altogether.

Ha~ Un~

So tired.

But I want to have a really good drink for once even if I’m really tired since it’s been a long time since I caught a break.

My capacity for liquor is poor but my love for it is no less than anyone.

As I thought so, I brought the small bottle of wine up to my eyes. As I looked at it, and caught a whiff of the wine, I could tell that this was definitely a homebrew. It was cheap and sweet which was why I bought it.

I wonder if Red Hare is interested at all in wine… I’ll dip some chopsticks into the wine and let it try some. It’s not good to just give it carrots all the time after all–

*Sou*!

A slas.h.i.+ng sound came out all of a sudden.

Un?!

I instinctively dodged and saw a dagger fly past my abdomen.

“Who is it? Who dares cause a ruckus in the middle of the night?!” I looked about and saw that there was just the city walls and empty buildings and roared out, hoping to stun my a.s.sailant.

“… Tell Liu Bei, to be careful with what he says, don’t–”

Over there!

Before that person could finish, I detected where he was and threw the small bottle of wine out where that person was.

A small cras.h.i.+ng sound rang out. I probably got a direct hit.

Good.

I thought inside as I ran toward that direction. There was a short thatched house there.

Hei! I applied strength into my legs and flew up. I grabbed the corner of the roof and hauled myself up.

But when I got there, there was nothing except a broken bottle of wine.

Hai, what a waste of wine.
