And at this time, it has been about a month since Jing Wan and them arrived in the northwest. During this time, there had also been a few big and small battles. The ‘injured soldiers camp’ still had people dying everyday, but compared to the very beginning, it already didn’t have that heavy air of despair pressing above. They even mutually took care of one another, mutually encouraging, needing to survive together.
The greatest change was still the surrounding environment. Although the buildings were still relatively old, it didn’t have that broken down feeling anymore. Moreover, it was clean and tidy, no longer having that unpleasant smell.
“Is this really that place for the injured previously?” The officers all filled with disbelief. This change really was a bit big.
“The commander and the various generals have come!”
This party of theirs were all in armor and couldn’t be more conspicuous, so naturally just got noticed first thing.
This place, it’s not like the various generals have never set foot in before, just the amount of times were very few, because if they see too much, they’ll just feel sorrowful, which will ultimately affect their mood. If unable to adjust in time, then it’ll very likely affect the next battle. Not only did they very rarely set foot here, even the soldiers under them, they also for the most part forbid them from coming over. The reason was the same as above.
More and more people noticed them, each and every one all looking over. Quite a few people even started circling around them, endlessly shouting, commander, general, and so on.
As one can see, these people were full of affection towards these high ranking generals.
With a completely different kind of atmosphere and appearance, the originally heavy mood, at this time, all got cleanly swept away.
“Good, very good.” They couldn’t help but pat their shoulder. This way, even if crippled, it still let one be able to see hope.
“Commander………..” A young man strutted forward in high spirits. Judging from his appearance, he was entirely a perfectly fine person.
However, Fu Yun Ting’s pupils nevertheless shrunk, “Xiao Hu, you’re still alive?” As soon as the words came out, he just realized he’d misspoke, just because he was too shocked, “No, that………”
Xiao Hu was originally a personal guard under Fu Yun Ting and a small squad leader, his military achievements already sufficient. Just when about to promote him, he nevertheless, because of protecting another soldier, directly got his stomach sliced open, his intestines already exposing. Under this kind of circumstance, how was it still possible to survive. Yet now, he was standing before them perfectly fine.
Xiao Hu could very much understand the feelings of this immediate superior of his. To have been able to survive, he himself also couldn’t believe. That’s why, he just unconcernedly smiled, “Commander, this subordinate was just lucky. My stomach got sewn up by Doctor Gong, and so far, there hasn’t been any abnormalities. If you ask me, I’m completely able to return to the battlefield and continue fighting. The others are all easy to deal with, just unable to get wangfei’s approval. She said it still hasn’t completely recovered and might relapse, even splitting open again. Right now, wangfei has the highest authority here, whatever she says goes. If we dare to disobey, perhaps will just get surrounded by the others and beaten up. That’s why, can only temporarily stay behind, helping out a little. However, commander, wait for this subordinate. In at most another ten days, certainly will be able to return.”
Xiao Hu was among the people sent over during the first battle after Jing Wan and them came.
Fu Yun Ting’s gaze slightly flickered, patting his shoulder, “Alright, waiting for you to return, everyone fighting together again.”
The stomach getting sliced open, yet still able to be sewn back together again, how was that not the most shocking thing. These generals even all started disregarding the setting, wanting to lift his clothes.

Xiao Hu quickly stopped them. It didn’t matter if it was in the army camp. After all, everyone were all men, but this place absolutely won’t do. Aside from the aunties that came from the commoner families, there were also some unmarried young ladies. To randomly lift the clothes here, how was that appropriate?
Getting said by Xiao Hu, these people finally pulled back in embarrassment. This situation, they also knew about, just momentarily forgetting.
The one on the stomach can’t be seen, but the one on the arm wasn’t a problem. The one on the stomach was the fatal wound, but there were also another seven to eight injuries on the body.
Pulling up the sleeve, a palm wide scar appeared, just like a sinister centipede. But these high ranking officers didn’t feel it was ugly and whatnot, instead feeling it was miraculous. That’s right, miraculous, not the least bit like as if unable to accept. In reality, to be able to preserve the life, what did this count as?
“The wound on the stomach is also more or less the same as this.” Xiao Hu giddily laughed, patting his stomach, “Doctor Gong said, the injuries on the arms and legs are relatively easy to deal with, but for places like the stomach, especially if directly getting sliced open, to be able to recover, still need to rely on luck. It can be seen, this life of mine, that is definitely sturdy.”
“Your luck is indeed pretty good. The Doctor Gong you mentioned, I roughly know. That is someone that had once examined the empress before, his medical skills definitely first class.” Fu Yun Ting said with a smile.
“That impressive?” Xiao Hu was obviously very astonished, even a bit adrift. That was the empress! Someone that once served the empress ‘served’ him……….
Fu Yun Ting somewhat didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Idiot! Let me ask you, are wangye and wangfei always here?”
“Wangye isn’t present everyday, but wangfei is almost always here.” Towards the former, he was a bit indifferent, but towards the latter, he was filled with respect.
Because the discrepancy was truly too obvious, it was very hard to ignore even if one wanted to.
“That is a qinwang of the imperial court. Xiao Hu, you can’t disrespect.” Fu Yun Ting rather nervously warned. How scary the living Enma was, ordinary people absolutely won’t be able to withstand.
Xiao Hu also felt something wrong, “But, everyone is all the same.” Although they never said anything to that wangye’s face, everyone’s attitude was actually all quite obvious, but that wangye never did anything either.
The ‘minor officers’ from the capital mutually looked to one another, muttering: “The ferocious beast that specifically ate people changed into a vegetarian?” No matter how they thought about it, it all felt strange.
“Shut up.” Fu Yun Ting quietly berated. If these words were to enter the living Enma’s ears, even if he’d really changed into a vegetarian, he can still continue eating people later.
Quickly have the mouth shut tightly.
“Regardless of what, he is a qinwang. You all need to respect a little.” Fu Yun Ting thought for a moment, even somewhat worried, lowering his voice, “Jin Qinwang, in the capital, that is known by all as the living Enma. The other wangyes seeing him, all need to take a detour. All say, there’s only wrongly named names, but never wrongly given titles, understand?” A ferocious beast momentarily not eating people didn’t mean that it really just changed into a vegetarian.
Xiao Hu this time was quite frightened. Will he get retaliated later and whatnot?
“Don’t worry, Jin Qinwang doesn’t hold grudges. If he’d really wanted to do something, he would’ve done it on the spot. He won’t leave until later. The only time it was left to settle later, that was also because someone had him thoroughly angered, wanting to strip him of his nobility, having him kicked into the dust.” A ‘certain’ officer consoled.
The corner of Fu Yun Ting’s mouth twitched, not wanting to talk. Heheh, taking revenge on the spot, those were all trivial matters.
“Enough, no need to say more. Where is wangye and wangfei right now, take us to go see.” Fu Yun Ting put an end to the conversation. No matter what, talking behind someone’s back ultimately wasn’t too good.
Fu Yun Ting and them arriving, Li Hong Yuan naturally learned the news first thing.
Once they saw Jin Qinwang, they all inwardly thought, ‘no wonder!’
Under an old locust tree, a square table was placed, and on it, fruit trays, desserts, and tea, even having an incense burner. On the recliner next to it, Jin Qinwang leisurely half-reclined, holding a book in hand. Anywhere else, perhaps it would be pleasing to the eyes, unable to be disliked by anyone. But unfortunately, at this very moment, the people in the surrounding were all busy. With him being this relaxed, didn’t it precisely incur hate? Seeing him, one’s hand just felt itchy, wanting to ruthlessly beat him up.
Towards Li Hong Yuan’s behavior, Jing Wan was also very helpless, feeling he was just being deliberate, disdaining that the others didn’t hate him enough, even needing to ruthlessly provoke. No matter how one looked at it, it all felt childish and willful like a child. Jing Wan felt that if it was just because of wanting to ‘stick’ to her, he just needed to say. It’s not like she insisted on needing to come here. But, he never said anything, so she just couldn’t help but want to come over for a look. Afterwards, he just followed over, and then just specifically did things that pulled in hate.
Jing Wan wanted to lecture him, but he was even very bold and confident. The more others were displeased with him, the more they would feel she this wangfei was good, no?
Jing Wan was very speechless, really not knowing what he was thinking. Don’t ordinary people all want one another’s reputation to be the same, letting others feel they were very well matched? How come he was just the opposite?
“You getting worshiped as a bodhisattva, and me becoming that demon king, won’t it further prove that between us, nothing can become a barrier?”
Jing Wan expressed, she really can’t follow this one’s logic. His entire train of thought was probably just different, so there was nothing to say, just let him do as he pleased. She had a bunch of important matters to attend to, who has the energy to argue with him.
Despite hesitating in his steps, Fu Yun Ting still led the others before him, “Greetings wangye.”
Li Hong Yuan didn’t even lift his eyelid, slowly flipping a page in his book, casually lifting the tea cup and taking a sip, “Get lost to one side, blocking the light.”
That tone sounded exceptionally disdainful, truly very much asking for a beating.
But what can they do? Naturally it was just perceptively retreating aside.
Jing Wan turned back for a glance. Because she still had a matter at hand, as such, she just nodded her head.
The others for the most part were all busy with their own matter. It wasn’t once or twice for these high ranking officers to come over. How it was in the past was still how it is at present.
Fu Yun Ting’s gaze, unknown as to why, just landed on Jing Wan. For a moment, he seemingly felt that this kind of scene he’d once experienced before. Thus, he accidentally just fell into a daze.
