Unlucky or Reaping What One Sow (4)

The others’ expression were all a bit peculiar. It can’t be……General really was staring at Jin Wangfei the whole time?
Fu Yun Ting’s face burned red. Just, right now, his neck ached terribly, so simply unable to explain. Great, these people really did misunderstand. Thus, they subconsciously just imagined a tale of love and hate. That’s why, even if a bunch of grown men, still don’t underestimate their imagination.
“But, that’s not right, if not remembering wrong, when general had married, her Highness had just entered the capital. Before this, her Highness had always resided outside of the capital, and general shouldn’t have left the capital before either, so they shouldn’t be acquainted? Could it be that general betrayed older sister-in-law, falling for her Highness afterwards, and even now still………….”
(T/N: Sister-in-law is referring to Fu Yun Ting’s wife. It’s common to refer to the wife of one’s superior as older sister-in-law, specifically it’s the address for the wife of one’s older brother.)
Fu Yun Ting could no longer endure, suddenly jumping up and smacking that officer in the head. And because of this move, the pain in his chest practically killed him. However, what should be said, still needed to be said clearly, “Shut up!” Fu Yun Ting endured the pain, his voice terribly hoarse, “Just now, it was just thinking of something else, momentarily becoming absentminded. Don’t ruin her Highness’s clean reputation.” The real reason, he couldn’t say. That’s why, in the end, it was still him that was ‘in the wrong’.
“In that case, Jin Qinwang was too unreasonable.”
“In your eyes, hasn’t the living Enma always been unreasonable?” Gong Jiu indifferently replied.
That officer got choked up to the point of speechlessness.
“Regardless whether it’s a misunderstanding, or some other reason, General Fu can only resign to one’s bad luck, or perhaps, treat it as a lesson.”
Gong Jiu was a shadow guard. As shadow guards, they didn’t necessarily just relied on assassination and such to carry out their missions. Their control towards the human heart also far surpassed ordinary people.
Fu Yun Ting glanced at Gong Jiu, making out the implication in his meaning, but he didn’t express anything.
In the end, there was ‘a reason for the cause’, in addition to encountering an unreasonable person, moreover someone that one couldn’t afford to offend. It seems, aside from resigning to one’s bad luck, there was no other choice.
However, thinking about it, if switched with oneself, one’s wife that was at the tip of one’s heart getting fixedly stared at by another man, perhaps he would also flip out. Thinking of it as such, his resentment towards Jin Qinwang also reduced quite a bit.
However, this for them was also a lesson. Regardless whether it’s young married women, or young ladies, no matter the reason, it was best to not stare. Even if thinking of something, one best pick an appropriate place first, else it was just closing one’s eyes. Otherwise, encountering someone violent like Jin Qinwang, one might accidentally have one’s life thrown in.
Speaking of violent, wasn’t Jin Qinwang’s martial art skills a bit too good? Their commander, in the army, his individual fighting power perhaps wasn’t the strongest, but ranking among the top wasn’t a problem at all. When free, they didn’t exchange moves in the army camp any less. Everyone all had an understanding inside. Even the ones that were stronger than him weren’t that much stronger. It was impossible for him to not even have the strength to retaliate. Moreover, as someone coming from the battlefield, their guard was quite strong. If directly facing Jin Qinwang, perhaps one would because of status not retaliate, but when absentminded, it was purely acting on instinct. Moreover, it was even their strongest instinct.
However, their commander wasn’t able to resist in the slightest, completely getting beaten. It was more than enough to see that he simply wasn’t able to counter. The others going forward also got sorted out together. It can be seen, how strong Jin Qinwang was.
“If Jin Qinwang were to go onto the battlefield, certainly would sweep everything before him.” Someone couldn’t help but inwardly think.

However, it goes without saying, that was impossible. He was a qinwang. Currently, the battle for the throne was heated like wildfire. If Jin Qinwang were to descend onto the battlefield like a god of war, winning the hearts of the army, how terrifying would that be. An army of several hundred thousand in hand, never mind the other princes, even the emperor all won’t be able to sit still.
The various generals secretly glanced at Jin Qinwang. Heh, sure enough, it was still best to forget it. A man that still needed his wife to console and coax, not having that ambition, no matter how strong, that was still unable to become steel. This kind of man just suited the tender nest. Just, one day, when Li Hong Yuan takes the battlefield, they will thoroughly change their opinion.
After Jing Wan finished coaxing a certain someone, she felt that it was better to return early. After all, with Fu Yun Ting’s current situation, it wasn’t too suitable to ‘avoid’.
Knowing Jing Wan’s thoughts, Li Hong Yuan’s face darkened, but he still left with her.
With them leaving, everyone including Fu Yun Ting naturally all needed to forcibly get up and see them off.
Li Hong Yuan just stood there, but that imposing aura wasn’t concealed in the slightest. These generals that had fought their way out from the corpse pile all couldn’t help but feel chills down their spine.
“Gong Jiu, have General Fu treated as much as possible. That fight just now, this prince wasn’t able to enjoy oneself to the fullest. Once General Fu recovers, this prince still wants to properly exchange moves.”
Gong Jiu deferentially responded.
Fu Yun Ting however endlessly complained inside. ‘Exchanging moves’ a few more times like this, won’t he just have his little life thrown in? But, can he refuse? The ‘sparring matches’ in the past were still vivid in his memories. To not comply? He would only be more miserable. Although, ‘exchanging moves’ with Jin Qinwang, his skills would improve quite quickly.
Once Li Hong Yuan left with Jing Wan, that suffocating pressure finally disappeared.
However, through this event, those that originally had an attitude towards Li Hong Yuan, all didn’t dare to brazenly express it anymore.
Who was General Fu? The main commander of the several hundred thousand people northwest army, yet just got sorted out like that, so what did they count as? If Jin Qinwang were to be angered, just a single finger will able to have them pressed to death.
This little incident just temporarily passed like that. But the next day, West Xiongnu’s Daxian Wang just personally led the army out, calling for a fight.
Fu Yun Ting at this time, never mind taking the battlefield, even just putting on the armor, his complexion would all turn deathly pale.
Speaking of which, Fu Yun Ting actually never fought one-on-one with West Xiongnu’s Daxian Wang before. Last time, seriously injuring him, that was all the result of a scheme, injuring him through the others’ joint effort. Speaking of which, in the original plan, they needed to thoroughly detain the Daxian Wang. Unfortunately, in the end, still let him escape. From this, it can be seen, this Daxian Wang, not only was he outstanding in tactics, his martial art skills were also quite strong. One has to know, Xiongnu army’s each individual soldier were all valiant to begin with, so this person, afraid was also quite formidable.
This was Daxian Wang’s first time directly calling out Fu Yun Ting by name. What did this mean? Could it be that there was a spy in the Qi Yuan army. The matter of Fu Yun Ting getting injured, they already learned in this short amount of time?
The important high ranking officers and generals all gathered in the main tent. Fu Yun Ting sat behind the low table. Originally, he could only give commands lying down, but unfortunately the current situation was urgent, so he could only endure the pain, “Don’t panic, it may not necessarily be because of a spy………….” Only Fu Yun Ting knew that afraid it was because of the last two battles that made this Daxian have suspicions. After all, these last two times, it wasn’t really him commanding, but rather Jin Qinwang. Their combat style certainly won’t be the same. If attentive, one would discover some traces, so it wasn’t that strange.
