Chapter 244 (2/2)

Now, Feng Yu Heng had taken action and saved over twenty thousand lives. In truth, in their eyes, Feng Yu Heng’s status was already incomparably high. But military regulations could not be broken, and even the traditions of the Northwest army could not be changed for a single person. Not to mention Feng Yu Heng, even Xuan Tian Ming had participated in the five tests when he was conferred the title of general. Also, when he was undertaking the five tests, he was facing two hundred thousand soldiers of the Northwest.

Qian Li told Feng Yu Heng: “The five tests are separated into riding, archery, fighting, tactics and compassion. County princess must start with riding and progress through the tests one at a time.”

“Alright.” Feng Yu Heng held the megaphone, leaving the word alright to echo through the valley. Standing on a bag of dirt, her small figure somehow caused everyone to feel that this appeared very valiant. No matter who it was, they all wanted to look a little longer.

Seeing that she accepted, Qian Li did not say anything further and immediately ordered for the soldiers to depart and gather at the drill ground.

Feng Yu Heng walked off the bag of dirt, she put the megaphone back in her space. Smiling, she strode towards Xuan Tian Ming.

Arriving at his side, she heard him say: “The five tests of the Northwest army are not so easy to pass. At the time I took them, I had to expend a great deal of energy.”

She raised an eyebrow, “Since you know that it’s not easy to pass, why did you not speak up for me?”

Xuan Tian Ming grabbed hold of her hand and told her: “Because I believe that my Heng Heng will definitely be able to pass them. How could the official princess chosen by me, Xuan Tian Ming, be lacking.”

This was originally meant to be affectionate, but when Feng Yu Heng heard it, it held a different meaning. She glared at him with smart eyes and very impolitely asked him: “Official princess? Xuan Tian Ming, I have wanted to ask you many times, why do you always stress that I am your official princess? Could it be that you still plan to take in a few secondary ones?”

Xuan Tian Ming was stunned and subconsciously said: “How could that be. I never thought of wanting any other woman.” But he began to ponder to himself, normally a prince having a few secondary princesses was perfectly normal, right?

Feng Yu Heng leaned over and grabbed the armrests of his wheelchair and seriously said: “There is something that I never said. There’s no harm in talking about it today. Xuan Tian Ming, I will tell you that I can enjoy prosperity and endure poverty. I will happily drink and sink, but I am not afraid of the blood-soaked battlefield. But I can not accept sharing my lover with anyone! Regardless of whether it’s in body or mind, I can not accept a third person in our world.”

In this sort of era and this sort of male-dominated Da Shun, Feng Yu Heng gave Xuan Tian Ming gave a brand new way of thinking. It also showed him a brand new way of living. Although he never had any intention of taking in another woman, but him thinking it and a woman personally saying it were tow different matters.

He could not help but be startled momentarily. Only when Feng Yu Heng’s gaze became more and more fierce did he scrunch up his face and raise both hands to hold her face, saying one word at a time: “I, Xuan Tian Ming, will say it once more. This life is yours, Feng Yu Heng’s, alone. Even if I become the Emperor, only you will be permitted to enter the six palaces.”

“Good!” Her fierce gaze immediately vanished, as her cold face became red with a faint blush. “Xuan Tian Ming, this was something you said. As a man, your words must carry weight. You absolutely must not go back on your word.”

“Don’t worry.” These two words were his promise.

At this time, a soldier trotted over and said: “Reporting to the general and county princess, the riding test at the drill ground has already been prepared. Please head over.”

“We will be heading over.” Feng Yu Heng smiled and pushed the wheelchair. While walking along, she said: “I don’t yet know what is considered as passing for the riding test. It is based on riding a horse?”

The soldier smiled and shook his head, “Riding a horse is the main portion, but it is not simply riding a horse. County princess will know upon seeing it.”

Sure enough, it was not simply riding a horse. When Feng Yu Heng’s group arrived at the drill ground, they saw that the large drill ground had been filled with obstacles, as though it were some sort of array. There were large piles of rocks, and some places had military weapons stabbed into the ground. There were also places where all kinds of random items were thrown about on the ground. Among the items were helmets, spears, and even tea cups were present.

It appeared disorderly, but when inspected carefully, there was still a clear distribution method. When she looked closely, Feng Yu Heng could not help but praise the people who had set up this scattered star array.

Scattered star array was a way of arranging soldiers, and it was used to disorient the enemy. Using scattered objects to obstruct line of sight, it would cause disarray among the enemy.

But she never thought that this array would appear as a method of appraising generals. It truly…. truly was too imposing.

Her face had a hungry expression, as she looked at Qian Li, “Deputy general Qian, do you want me to break through the scattered star array on a horse?”

Seeing that she was able to recognize it at a glance, he repeatedly nodded towards Feng Yu Heng. Qian Li also smiled and said: “Sure enough county princess is wise. Presumably, breaking through will not be difficult.”

Feng Yu Heng did not say much. She only walked forward and looked at the… old horse that had been prepared. She could not help but laugh out loud: “Old horses already have bad eyesight, yet I need to ride it through the scattered star array, which was made to disorient the enemy. Fancy that you can think of this sort of method.”

A group of soldiers lowered their heads, as their faces turned red from what she said.

But she was merely saying it. Once she said it, she leaped up into the air and flipped onto the horse.

The feeble old horse was already unable to carry the weight of a grown man, but Feng Yu Heng’s body was small and light. Her landing did not affect the horse in the slightest.

She looked back at Xuan Tian Ming and smiled. She then received a horsewhip from a nearby soldier and headed out. The old horse trembled and began running straight towards the scattered star array.
