C59 (1/2)

Bai Zheng also knew that because of her body, Feng Linyuan should be extremely scared. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dressed in such thick clothes every time she came out.

However, today, they had to run around for such a long time in this cold spring for the sake of the Bone-penetrating Herb, so they were naturally prone to getting sick.

Only when half of the face that was exposed was completely pale did Feng Linyuan finally recover.

Seeing Bai Zheng's clear eyes filled with worry, Feng Linyuan smiled guiltily. ”This marquis is fine, I made Miss Bai worry.”

”Is the rumor true?” Bai Zheng ignored his apology and suddenly asked.

Feng Linyuan's gentle eyes met with Bai Zheng's gaze. The two of them looked at each other for a while before Feng Linyuan nodded and said: ”I do not look like someone who has lived a long life.”

The so called rumor naturally referred to the matter of Feng Linyuan who had been severely injured after the battle six years ago.

In Bai Zheng's heart, it was as if her heart had been ruthlessly squeezed by a hand.

Ever since she saw this Dingyuan, although she had a frail body, but because his ability to deal with matters while together with others was much higher than normal, Bai Zheng had never put him and the rumor that she would not live past twenty-five years together.

But today, he suddenly realized that this handsome man was only one step away from death.

Bai Zheng felt an unspeakable discomfort in her heart.

Feng Linyuan knew how the other party was feeling, and his deep eyes dimmed a little. He didn't like the feeling of being pitied, which was why he had rarely been seen in public since he was injured.

He was not the kind of person who could not accept his fate, but he never needed the senseless sympathy of the world.

”If Miss Bai doesn't want me to die young, why not just marry me and change my fate to one that will end in disaster?”

Feng Linyuan's mouth formed a smile, and changed the topic.

Bai Zheng was caught off guard by these words, and glared: ”Dream on!”

”Pah!”

Just as Bai Zheng was about to settle the score with him, the sound of a box falling to the ground suddenly came from behind him.

He had been too anxious to place the box properly, so after a few shaky steps, it fell to the ground. The lid had not yet been closed, and letters of silk were blowing everywhere in the cold wind that blew in through the cracks in the windows.

Seeing that, Bai Zheng immediately ran and chased after the letters that floated far away, Feng Linyuan also squatted down and picked up the letters that were scattered nearby.

These letters were basically written by the Wife of Departed Marquis to the current Gaochang Marquis outside of the battlefield. They were obviously saved by the Gaochang Marquis using a special medicine and the words written on them were not damaged.

”My son has already left the Yongding City for the battlefield for ten days. Mother is deeply worried, this battle is extremely dangerous, my son must not be careless, if necessary, my life will be saved. Mother was waiting at home for her son to come home early. Ding Gou Nian, C Yin month, C Chen day. ”

Seeing the piece of silk that he had just picked up, Feng Linyuan squinted his eyes.

Wasn't it the battle of Yancheng that had caused such a drastic change in his life? At that time, the Xiliang Xuanning King personally led 400,000 strong army to advance towards the east, and actually forced the old Marquis of Dingyuan to retreat step by step. Feng Linche immediately ordered the Gaochang Marquis to command 300,000 soldiers to rush to the Yancheng to support the battle.

But to leave ten days ago? This departure time, how could it be completely different from the information he had obtained!

For the first time, an intense and resentful look appeared in his usually calm eyes.

In that battle, he had already found out that Feng Linche had taken action to eliminate the enemy because he feared that the master of the Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis would be killed. Otherwise, with his father's capabilities, how could he possibly die together with the one hundred thousand Changping Army s that even caused his Nanshu to tremble in fear?

How many days and nights, how many times he resented the injustice of the heavens, resented his enemies. However, he continued to hold on to his heavily injured body, not daring to collapse for even a second.

With no revenge for the death of his father, a hundred thousand heroic spirits had perished in vain.

But he had been unconscious for too long after the battle of Yancheng, so when he woke up to investigate, too much evidence had already been annihilated.
