The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World - Chapter 110
After taking down one, Ru Feng quickened her pace, picking off one after another. The crowd was surprised that she could also use her palms. In the end, Ru Feng snatched a sword, threw away the spear, and wielded the long sword like a nimble snake, which stunned everyone.
Ru Feng, impatient, let out a long howl, his eyes gleaming with a sense of turbulent storm. He swept his long sword across his brow, a pool of coldness reflecting in his clear autumn waters. He circulated his true energy throughout his body, and like an eagle spreading its wings, he leaped up from the spot. The sword light was fierce, the blades continuous, slicing through the sky. In the blink of an eye, everyone around him had fallen!
Her move caught her opponents off guard, and they all fell to the ground, unable to react.
Ru Feng, holding his longsword with imposing grandeur, looked at the crowd and asked, "Is there anyone else coming up?!" In his heart, he thought to himself, "Swords are indeed the most suitable for me, but it's not easy to control my strength."
The onlookers were stunned. He defeated his opponent with just one move. So he was just playing around with the other person?
Zhong Ying stepped forward and said, "Alright, none of you are a match for Commander Mu. If he hadn't shown mercy, would you still be alive today? Now get down!"
The group of people who had fallen to the ground bowed to Ru Feng and hurriedly retreated back into the crowd.
Yang Hu and Yang Bao exchanged a glance, their eyes losing their sparkle. Based on that move he just made, they were no match for him. It seemed the Marshal's judgment of people was still accurate; he had become a captain based on his abilities.
After this act of contempt, the soldiers treated Ru Feng with utmost respect, and no one dared to say a bad word about him. As a result, Ru Feng was able to train with great ease.
Ru Feng believed that archery skills mainly depended on one's own practice, and no matter how much others talked, it was useless. So she focused her energy on military formations, such as what kind of formation to use when attacking, how to defend, and how to launch a surprise attack...
These formations have been repeatedly tested and proven effective. Now, all that remains is to urge the soldiers to practice archery and become familiar with the changes in formations.
Another point is that Ru Feng's bows and arrows began to be mass-produced. Although the marshal said that the bows and arrows took a while to make, they could still be used a year or two later, as long as preparations were made in advance. Taking this opportunity, Ru Feng promoted Nan Shan, telling him not to stay in the kitchen all the time, but to go and instruct the weapons experts in the army camp on how to make bows and arrows.
After a month of such busy work, Ru Feng began to have some free time. He no longer had to use his brain, so he had some free time. When he had free time, Ru Feng would find a quiet place to combine the Ruthless Sword with the Yuchi Sword Technique taught by Yuchi Huaiyang, striving to defeat his enemies with the simplest and most powerful moves.
Ru Feng's two experiences on the battlefield gave him some insights, so he took the time to improve his martial arts skills. He thought that if he worked hard now, he could survive on the battlefield in the future.
A month later, Ru Feng started to feel bored. Military life was incredibly dull and monotonous; all he did was drill. And with war looming, he couldn't even go out for a short while—if caught, he'd be punished according to military law. Just thinking about military law made Ru Feng's buttocks throb. Those forty lashes were just too much! Ouch! Why was it always his buttocks or his shoulder that got injured? If this continued, he'd definitely develop a phobia.
Of course, Rufeng also went out to fight a small battle in the past two months, but it was quickly brought to an end, so he didn't feel anything about it.
But at this time, Ru Feng's official position changed again. He was neither promoted nor demoted. He went directly from the Archery Department to the Cavalry Department, and remained a captain, because the original captain had died in battle.
Ru Feng sighed, realizing how fragile human life is, how easily it can be gone, and thus he practiced his skills even harder afterward.
However, after being transferred back to the cavalry, Ru Feng discovered that her martial arts skills had unintentionally improved a lot, and even her horsemanship had improved, which she assumed was the result of sparring with others.
Spring Vine Kingdom, border, inside a large tent.
Li Ming, his face grim, looked at the soldier kneeling on the ground and asked in a cold voice, "Mu Rufeng?"
The soldier replied, "Yes, we found out that he is just an ordinary soldier with no family background." As he spoke, the soldier presented "Mu Rufeng's" personal information, "It contains everything about Mu Rufeng from childhood to adulthood, we have investigated everything we could."
"How could his martial arts skills be so outstanding? Can an ordinary family raise such an outstanding son? He became a captain in no time and even joined the Tiger Wing Battalion!" The voice was not raised, but it gave people a heavy sense of pressure.
The soldier calmly replied, "Perhaps it's because he had a master when he was young."
“Maybe…maybe…” Li Ming murmured to herself, then asked, “Have you found out about Yuchi Huaiyang’s grandson?”
"Reporting to the Marshal, it seems that Yuchi Huaiyang's grandson is also in the military camp. Everyone says he went to join the army, but we haven't seen him since," the soldier quickly replied.
Li Ming waved her hand and said, "Go down."
Na Shiyue quickly retreated.
Li Ming pondered, "Mu Rufeng? How come his name sounds so similar to Yuchi Rufeng's? Could they be the same person? But their appearances don't match, and if he really wanted to live in anonymity, he shouldn't be called 'Rufeng'."
Forget it, he's just a captain now. I'll find an opportunity to kill him later. I absolutely cannot let go of someone who looks like Yuchi Rufeng!
Li Ming clenched her fists and stared fiercely ahead: Yuchi Huaiyang, I will make sure your Yuchi family line is wiped out!
He recalled a great battle ten years ago, in which the 100,000-strong army of the Spring Vine Kingdom was annihilated by Yuchi Huaiyang, and he himself was also brought down from his horse, forced to spend his days in a daze at home, no longer the glorious marshal he once was!
I never imagined I would have a chance to make a comeback. My daughter is so capable that she became the Crown Prince's concubine. I have also climbed to my current position step by step with the help of my daughter. So, Yuchi Huaiyang, you will make me pay back twice as much for the pain I suffered yesterday!
When Li Ming thought of his daughter, he thought of the eldest prince. If the eldest prince were to ascend the throne in the future, with his prestige in the army, he would definitely be able to make his daughter the empress. At that time, he would be the emperor's father-in-law and marshal, second only to the emperor!
Thinking of the future, Li Ming couldn't help but smile, but then she remembered the Second Prince who had just returned to the country, and her brows furrowed.
The second prince may look like a woman, but after returning to the country, the methods he secretly employed were far beyond what a woman could do. He used both soft and hard tactics, leaving no stone unturned. He had heard a little about this. Coupled with the emperor's favor towards him, it didn't take long for him to become a popular candidate for the throne. After accomplishing several major tasks, he gained a good impression in the hearts of ministers and the people.
Compared to the eldest prince's unruly and gloomy nature, the second prince undoubtedly seems to enjoy more popular support. However, for their own future interests, it seems that this second prince must also be dealt with!
Thinking of this, Li Ming's eyes darkened, becoming quite frightening!
Within the capital city of Zilu.
Mu Wenchen practiced his sword in the courtyard, dressed in loose white clothes. His figure was graceful and light, without any murderous aura, but rather full of incredible beauty.
Mu Tong stood to one side making tea, occasionally glancing at Mu Wenchen.
Not long after, Mu Wenchen sheathed his sword and walked to the resting place, asking, "Any news from Ru Feng's side?"
Mu Tong handed over a clean towel before replying, "Ru Feng joined the Tiger Wing Camp and was promoted to captain."
"Are you injured?" Mu Wenchen asked immediately. Of course he knew that Ru Feng was not injured. Otherwise, he would have known immediately. He was just asking now to put his mind at ease.
Mu Tong naturally understood Mu Wenchen's thoughts. He no longer expected to correct his master's ways. This was beyond his power to do. He had given up hope. Let his master do whatever he wanted. After all, Yu Chi Rufeng was a good person. Of course, it would be even more perfect if he were a woman. In that case, he should cry his heart out to thank God that his master had not died without an heir.
"Mu Tong?" Mu Wenchen asked in a deep voice when he saw that he did not answer for a long time, a look of tension flashing in his eyes.
Mu Tong hurriedly said seriously, "Master, it's alright. Ru Feng is doing very well, full of energy and lively all day long."
Mu Wenchen breathed a sigh of relief. Full of energy? Lively? He couldn't help but smile wryly. This was indeed Ru Feng's style—he could make a good living wherever he went, and he was always full of energy. But himself…sigh, that letter from last time, what he said about him, was he angry with him?
Mu Tong glanced cautiously at Mu Wenchen, who was lost in thought, and after a long while, she said, "Master, when are we going back to Fengxian Academy? We've finished our business here, and it seems things have been quite turbulent lately." The last sentence was a bit of an understatement. Mu Tong thought to herself, "Turbulent? It's practically a battleground, with everyone fighting and vying for power, it's quite a scene."
Mu Wenchen thought for a moment, but did not answer.
