Kapitel 126

Yu Xuan looked at Ru Feng, hesitated, and finally just parted his lips without saying anything.

Because someone has arrived, and they are uninvited guests.

An arrow, moving very slowly, flew straight toward Rufeng. Rufeng quickly pulled out a handkerchief and caught it, glancing in surprise at Yuxuan, who was equally surprised. Several servants behind them immediately rode up and surrounded them, looking around menacingly with tense expressions.

Ru Feng stopped them from sending the signal. In fact, there were military patrols along the way from the military camp to Luoyan City, so as long as Ru Feng and the others sent the signal, a team of people would immediately rush out to protect them.

The reason Ru Feng stopped them was because the note tied to the fletching of this arrow had surprisingly familiar handwriting.

Seeing that Ru Feng's expression was strange, Yu Xuan quickly withdrew his gaze from the nearby grove and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ru Feng silently handed the note over, and Yu Xuan also fell silent.

"Shall we go?" After a long pause, Yu Xuan finally spoke.

Ru Feng nodded silently. Yu Xuan looked at Ru Feng with complicated eyes, and finally sighed and followed behind Ru Feng, while also stopping the guards next to him.

The two dismounted and walked along a side path. The forest was lush and green, and the soft grass underfoot added to the scene. Another day had passed. Ru Feng sighed softly, his body tense, but his face showed a hint of nostalgia.

Soon, Ru Feng and Yu Xuan stopped and looked into the distance.

There were two people there, both of whom Ru Feng recognized. One was dressed in white with black hair and had an exceptionally beautiful face. He was looking intently at Ru Feng, simply standing there casually. Against the backdrop of lush greenery behind him, it was a truly beautiful scene.

Beside him was the coachman Ru Feng had seen before, a middle-aged man. At this moment, he had a cold expression on his face. Ru Feng remembered it very clearly because when she was about to kill Yun Tianze that day, the coachman seemed to be completely oblivious to the carnage before him, and remained indifferent from beginning to end.

Their eyes met, and they remained silent, with only the rustling of the wind through the treetops and the occasional chirping of insects and birds, a joyful yet noisy cacophony.

Yun Tianze looked at Yu Xuan, and the two stared at each other for a while before Yun Tianze looked away first.

Ru Feng looked at Yun Tianze, her eyes revealing no emotion. Only she knew how tightly she was clenching her fists. After a long while, Ru Feng spoke in a dry voice, "How is your body now?"

Yun Tianze stared intently at Ru Feng and said, "Very good."

Ru Feng nodded, her eyes suddenly feeling a little sore, so she had to keep blinking.

The middle-aged man next to Yun Tianze moved slightly, and Yu Xuan immediately became alert.

Yun Tianze took one last look at Ru Feng, his eyes flashing with many emotions: reluctance, determination... and finally, calm.

A thick plume of smoke rose, and when it dissipated, both of them had vanished.

It felt like a dream; if it weren't for the wisps of white smoke, Ru Feng would have thought he was daydreaming.

After getting back on the horse, Yu Xuan sighed, "We were too impulsive."

Ru Feng corrected, "Yes, they were all too impulsive."

They remained silent the whole way, but as they approached the military camp, Yu Xuan suddenly asked, "Ru Feng, do you like the headmaster?"

Ru Feng turned to look at him, nodded, and her expression was firm.

Yu Xuan lowered his eyelids and remained silent.

The next morning, Yu announced his departure, leaving in a grand procession with his guards.

Ru Feng stood outside the military camp, watching his departing figure with a reluctant expression. From beginning to end, Yu Xuan never looked back at Ru Feng again.

In the afternoon, Wen Chen also left. Ru Feng went to Luoyan City to see him off, her eyes filled with intense reluctance, but she managed to suppress it.

Seeing Mu Wenchen looking back again and again, Ru Feng suddenly felt a pang of sorrow.

Chapter 105 Gifts

The departure of Yu Xuan and Mu Wenchen left Ru Feng feeling down for several days, but the busy military affairs quickly made Ru Feng bury this reluctance deep in his heart and avoid touching it easily.

Like a new broom sweeping clean, Ru Feng implemented a series of military reforms after becoming marshal, the first of which was to train the soldiers' reaction capabilities and improve efficiency.

Ru Feng remembered that when his grandfather was assassinated last time, everyone except the soldiers on duty ran out in a panic, disheveled and in disarray. This was fine under normal circumstances, but what if someone attacked the camp? Would they also run out in such disheveled state? They weren't even wearing armor; they had clearly been living in comfort for too long.

Therefore, after special training, the speed at which the entire army could dress increased significantly. Furthermore, Ru Feng would often suddenly unleash a loud drumbeat at a certain time late at night to train the soldiers' assembly and reaction speed. Then, the focus shifted to training officers of all ranks on how to maintain unified action on the battlefield without a superior's command. On the battlefield, sometimes commanders are unable to lead their troops for various reasons. In such situations, it's easy for the formations of different units to become scattered and lack coordination, leading to their gradual encirclement and annihilation by the enemy. In contrast, with proper training, even without a commanding general, the army can remain a cohesive and unified force.

The training process was very tedious. Although some soldiers complained, they were soldiers who had been training for many years, so they still had to do what they were supposed to do, especially since there were generals of all ranks doing it as well.

Even with the busiest military duties, Ru Feng never complained. However, on the other hand, he was constantly grumbling. The reason stemmed from Wang Wei, the military supervisor who had nothing better to do in the camp.

While Yuchi Huaiyang was still alive, Wang Wei dared not make a move. He would usually just stroll around the military camp, occasionally drinking tea and chatting with the military doctors and generals. Although he wasn't the most popular person in the camp, he wasn't someone who aroused resentment either. It can only be said that everyone tried their best to ignore the existence of this military supervisor.

After Ru Feng became marshal, Yu Xuan stayed here for a few days, so he didn't make any moves. But after Yu Xuan left, he started to make big moves, making it hard for Ru Feng to ignore.

"Little Marshal, what's the use of all this stuff you've been putting together these past few days? You'd be better off letting the soldiers train." Wang Wei stared intently at Ru Feng with his narrow eyes.

Ru Feng smiled slightly, sat behind the low table, and said, "We'll know soon enough whether it works or not."

“But you are still young and don’t understand many things,” he said earnestly.

"Thank you for the reminder, Supervising Officer," Ru Feng replied politely, though inwardly he didn't take it seriously.

At this moment, the tent was empty. Suddenly, Wang Wei's eyes were filled with burning flames. He tightly held Ru Feng's hand, which was holding the calligraphy brush, and said with a smile, "Ru Feng, if there's anything you need my help with, just say the word. I will definitely do my best to help you, even if it means going through fire and water!"

Ru Feng resisted the urge to shake him off, and with a little effort, she broke free from his grasp. Wow, his hands were even smoother than her own; it seemed he took good care of them.

"Thank you, Supervising Officer. I will definitely come to you if I encounter any difficulties," Ru Feng hurriedly explained, picking up a calligraphy brush and wielding it wildly.

"Ru Feng really has beautiful handwriting. His handwriting reflects his personality; both are so elegant," Wang Wei said with a smile, unconcerned.
