The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World

Chapter 105

Seeing Ru Feng's expression, Zui Zhu had no choice but to leave quickly.

Ru Feng grasped Zui Yue's hand and said, "Be careful."

Zuiyue understood: "I understand, Senior Brother, I will be careful."

So they removed Ru Feng's armor, fed him some water, and then gave him a pill.

Smelling the blood on Ru Feng's body and looking at Ru Feng's cracked lips and bloodless face, Zui Yue said, "Senior brother, your grandfather is really heartless. If we hadn't insisted, you would still be kneeling on the training ground."

Looking again at his swollen knee, he frowned and tried to think of a solution.

After drinking the water, Ru Feng felt a little better and said, "Also, it was indeed my fault. Grandpa has to keep everyone in line, so he will definitely punish me. But, hehe, Zui Yue, when I was in the training ground just now, I practiced my internal energy again to keep myself from collapsing. I used too much true energy today, so I felt uncomfortable, but I feel much better now. Moreover, I feel that my internal energy has reached a new level. I guess I turned misfortune into blessing."

Zuiyue remained silent, never expecting that at this moment, her senior brother was still thinking about his martial arts.

"Senior brother, I only ask that you be safe," Bi Xiang said softly to Zui Yue.

Ru Feng remained silent, knowing he had worried them.

Soon, Zui Zhu returned, took a lot of things, and then quietly withdrew. Senior Brother's health was something he never allowed anyone else to touch, except for Zui Yue, who was a doctor. Sigh, I should have studied medicine back then.

They brought the candle closer and quickly stripped Ru Feng naked, then wiped him clean with a hot towel. Because Ru Feng had been frequently injured recently, he didn't mind letting Zui Yue see his naked body.

Zuiyue carefully cleaned Rufan's body, paying particular attention to his wounds. She looked at Rufeng's chest and chuckled softly, "Senior brother, hehe, you have a pretty good figure."

Ru Feng glared at her and looked outside the door. Zui Yue understood, knowing that Zui Zhu was guarding the place, and that Zui Zhu's martial arts skills were not weak. It would be bad if she eavesdropped. It wasn't that Ru Feng didn't want Zui Zhu to know her true gender, but Zui Zhu was very straightforward and would say whatever she wanted. So, just in case, Zui Yue and Ru Feng didn't tell her.

After applying the best medicine to the wound, Ru Feng dressed himself in clean clothes, piece by piece, and put on the other fake Adam's apple that Zui Yue had given him. Ru Feng had just realized that his fake Adam's apple had fallen off sometime earlier. Fortunately, he had kept his head down most of the day, so no one should have seen it, otherwise it would have caused a huge uproar.

"I'll apply the medicine for you." As Zuiyue spoke, she applied a layer of medicine to Rufeng's exposed skin. Soon after the medicine was applied, Rufeng turned into that dark-faced boy.

After finishing all this, Ru Feng ate. Looking at the food, he knew that Nan Shan had prepared it for him because he knew his tastes. Looking at Zui Yue, who was tidying up his clothes, Ru Feng smiled warmly and felt that he was very fortunate to have these junior brothers and sisters.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Ru Feng's spirits had improved considerably, and Zui Yue and Zui Zhu also hurriedly left.

Like the wind blowing out the candle, preparing to lie down and sleep, phew—punishment! Actually, I'm quite lucky; I still have a bed to sleep in.

While I was fast asleep, I felt someone enter the room. I was jolted awake like a gust of wind, my arms around my waist, my whole body tense.

At this moment, Ru Feng couldn't fall asleep. In the darkness, whenever she closed her eyes, the bulging eyes of the young soldier from earlier that day stared at her, eerie and shocked. His neck had been cut in half, with the other half remaining—a truly horrifying sight. Remembering the layers of corpses piled up in the valley earlier that day, Ru Feng felt a chill run down her spine and couldn't sleep. So, as soon as someone entered, she immediately sensed it.

"It's me!" a deep voice rang out.

"Marshal!" Ru Feng called out softly, standing up.

"Are you very dissatisfied with the punishment I gave you today?"

"I wouldn't dare. You are the marshal, and you must have your reasons. I am just an ordinary soldier," Ru Feng said calmly.

"I know you're unhappy. You don't need to lie to me. But I'm the marshal, and you're a soldier. No matter your rank or our relationship, on the battlefield, we're only superiors and subordinates. You must absolutely obey my orders! Military orders are absolute. Your actions today are enough to get you killed a hundred times over!"

Silent as the wind.

Yu Chi Huaiyang continued, "You're blaming me for being heartless, saying I'd let someone die without helping, but the battlefield is always cruel, and there's nothing we can do about it. You don't know that your actions today almost caused us huge losses."

Ru Feng remained silent, simply listening quietly.

Yu Chi Huaiyang didn't expect Ru Feng to say anything, but continued, "When I was your age, I did something similar. I was the center of attention back then and I even managed to save someone. My father, who was a marshal at the time, only punished me lightly. He said that one day he would regret not punishing me more severely. I didn't understand and instead blamed him for being cold-blooded."

Later, on one occasion, I followed my father and led troops to infiltrate enemy territory. Because the battle lines were too long, the logistics could not supply us at all, so we had to plunder the food of the enemy villages. In order not to reveal our whereabouts, my father ordered the village to be looted. This is a common thing in war. I couldn't bear it, so I didn't do it myself. Other soldiers did it. I just fought for the food.

Then, one time, during a raid on a village, everyone was killed. But in the end, I noticed a child, about five or six years old, thin, with big eyes filled with fear and tears. He looked so pitiful, and I couldn't bear it. I thought of my son at home. At that time, your father's older brother was about the same age, with the same big eyes. Just as I was about to spare him, my father appeared and told me to kill him.

I agreed, but released him after my father left, and we continued on our way. Soon after, enemy troops arrived; their numbers were overwhelming, and we were outnumbered, so only a few dozen escaped. My father and I both escaped, but my father, your great-grandfather, lost a leg and was forced to retire from the battlefield, eventually dying in despair.

Yu Chi Huaiyang stared intently at Ru Feng, and even in the darkness, Ru Feng could feel a heavy pressure: "You guessed it, right? It was that five or six-year-old child who went to report the news, so our whereabouts were exposed, costing us thousands of lives. That was our army's most elite unit. After that battle, our army almost collapsed. If it weren't for someone's help later, I might not be standing here today."

Ru Feng remained silent, his grandfather's voice heavy with sorrow. Ru Feng, being exceptionally intelligent, understood his meaning and said in a deep voice, "Grandpa, I understand. Don't worry." Ru Feng's voice was powerful, seemingly able to pierce the night sky.

For the next two days, Ru Feng obediently accepted his punishment without uttering a sound.

Two days later, after being beaten with forty strokes of the military rod, Ru Feng lay half-dead and began to recuperate. After he recovered, everyone speculated about how the marshal would arrange things for Ru Feng, with most thinking that he would be made a captain or something similar.

To everyone's surprise, Ru Feng was assigned to the Tiger Wing Battalion, the most elite unit in the entire army.

Volume Two: How Many Return from Ancient Battles? Chapter 93: Promotion

The reason why the Tiger Wing Battalion was the most elite unit in the entire army was that although it only had four thousand men, it was divided into forty different types of soldiers. In addition to the cavalry, such as the one that Ru Feng was in, there were also Yue cavalry (equivalent to modern special forces), infantry, and archers. It was directly under the command of the marshal.

These men were all exceptional men, selected from among the best. They had all been on the battlefield and undergone rigorous training, so Ru Feng had essentially jumped into a fire pit.

The Tiger Wing Battalion held a very high position in the army, and even their "equipment" was better than others. The fact that Zhong Yingfeng's more than 100 men were able to break through the encirclement of more than 1,000 people demonstrated the extraordinary nature of the Tiger Wing Battalion!

Ru Feng's superior was a captain, whose rank was second only to the marshal and the general. This was Zhong Ying, who had saved Ru Feng that day. Zhong Ying was a young man of about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He was very handsome and had a slightly thin and sturdy build. However, his smile was somewhat childish, so he did not smile often and always had a serious face, pretending to be mature.

The above are the results observed by Ru Feng.

Ru Feng's sudden arrival caused a stir among the Tiger Wing Battalion members, as those who could enter had all distinguished themselves in numerous battles. Ru Feng, however, had only been to the battlefield once and ultimately violated military discipline. How could he have been allowed in? Everyone was baffled.

As Feng naturally knew, basically every general or marshal had served in the Tiger Wing Battalion! So, it seems that his grandfather wanted him to come here for training in preparation for the future.

Ru Feng actually liked the Tiger Wing Camp because it was a place where strength mattered, and if you had the ability, you would naturally earn the respect of others.

Of course, the training was tough, but Ru Feng enjoyed it immensely. She trained tirelessly every day, keeping up with everything and even pushing herself harder than most. Because of her special training, Ru Feng didn't find it too difficult; her muscles were just sore every day. Ru Feng felt like she was back in her days on the mountain. After becoming Wu Qing Jian's apprentice and learning some of his martial arts, Ru Feng's main focus was learning everything about military life, something Yu Chi Huai Yang had specifically instructed her to do.

Grandpa, you really had foresight! Ru Feng thought to himself, otherwise he wouldn't be living such an easy life now.

Of course, the ease refers to physical ease, not psychological ease, as the people here don't treat Ru Feng well. This is partly due to Ru Feng's sudden arrival, and partly due to his small stature. Therefore, they all look down on Ru Feng, assuming he must have used some underhanded methods to get in. Of course, everyone present that day knew Ru Feng's martial arts skills were quite impressive.
