Chapter 866 - Feixuan’s Invitation (2/2)
“Come with me.”
*****
Since Shi Feixuan was the successor of Kind Boathouse, she had an extraordinary status as the Prince of Qin, Li Shimin’s guest of honor.
This time, she was injured because she wanted to help Li Shimin, and naturally, she was being cared for carefully by a group of military doctors. The area around her was very somber and quiet, and there were quite a number of maids around waiting to serve Shi Feixuan.
Once Happy entered the tent with Qin Qiong, Happy saw Shi Feixuan, who had a thin white veil covering her face. She had already changed to another set of clothes and was sitting by the side of the bed feebly. The two maids beside her were already so anxious that they looked as if they were about to start crying.
When Shi Feixuan saw Happy enter, a sparkle shone in her eyes, but soon, her eyes became clear once more, and her heart was as calm as water.
With a cool tone, she asked the maids in the tent to leave, “Go out first. I’d like to discuss some matters with Young Swordsman Happy.”
Qin Qiong was a very sensible person. He smiled and looked at Shi Feixuan before he said to Happy, “Miss Shi, I’ve brought him here, so you can be at ease now. I can be considered to have completed my duty, so I won’t bother you two anymore.”
“I’m sorry to have troubled you, General Qin.”
Shi Feixuan politely got up and thanked him.
Qin Qiong chuckled and waved his hand while saying that this was the same as him lifting a finger.
Once he finished speaking, he turned around and left the tent the Prince of Qin prepared for Shi Feixuan.
Once Qin Qiong, the military doctor left as well, and Happy as well as Shi Feixuan were the only ones left in the tent.
However, there was not a single hint of a romantic atmosphere in the tent at all. What filled the tent was just a very great medicinal scent.
“Are your injuries alright, Miss Shi?” Happy took the initiative to ask. Even though he knew that Shi Feixuan was fine, he could not help asking after her.
An airy voice came from behind the white veil.
“It’s all thanks to you trying your best to stop the Priest and the Witch that I am safe and sound.”
Shi Feixuan’s clear eyes landed on Happy’s face, as if she had just gotten to know him again. She sized him up.
Happy naturally noticed the change from Shi Feixuan. He smiled faintly.
“Miss Shi, you’re an exceptional beauty. I believe that aside from Yang Xuyan, all other young men will do everything they can to help you. I am just doing what I can.”
Before today, Happy will definitely not dare talk to Shi Feixuan in this way. That would have been offensive. But today, their relationship status had changed to Trusted, and he will have no problems in making a few harmless jokes.
Just as he expected, Shi Feixuan only avoided Happy’s slightly teasing and sparkling gaze.
“Young Swordsman Happy, you jest.”
She paused for a moment before her tone changed. “I heard that you have been promoted to a battalion commander by the marshal this time, but at the same time, you have also been entrusted with a very dangerous task. Is that true?”
Happy said nothing, but a thought bloomed in his head.
‘It’s here!’
He had been surprised by Shi Feixuan mentioning this, but it was also within his expectations that she did.
The fact that Shi Feixuan called him here meant that he had definitely activated a plot-relevant quest. However, what caught him off guard was that Shi Feixuan will take the initiative in asking him about the marshal giving him the quest to burn the supplies.
Could it be that while the quest was very difficult, there were actually a few shortcuts to it?
Happy’s thoughts instantly became lively. He thought about this for a moment before he quickly told Shi Feixuan all about the quest the marshal entrusted to him.
When she heard about the details about the quest, Shi Feixuan frowned slightly.
“The Mongolian army’s supply route has already been attacked once, and the Mongolians will definitely set up heavy defenses for their supplies right now. You might face a lot of dangers during this trip…”
