The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World

Chapter 131

Yun Tianze rested his chin on one hand, while his other long, slender hand tapped lightly on the table. His eyes casually scanned everything around him, only occasionally casting a glance at the person in front of him who was spewing spittle.

"Your Highness, why don't you come to my aid?" Li Ming naturally knew that the person in front of her was not paying attention, so her anger rose higher and higher, but she still asked the most important question.

Yun Tianze finally looked at him, his beautiful eyes unfathomable, making it impossible to fathom his emotions.

He said softly, "I remember I reminded you not to go, but you were just trying to spite me and you looked down on the other side's young marshal, so you acted so rashly. As the supervising officer, I did everything I could. Now that you have failed, what else is there to criticize?"

Li Ming was speechless for a moment, her face turning pale and then red. In the end, she glared at Yun Tianze resentfully, and then stormed off in a huff.

Just as Li Ming left, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared. He stood next to Yun Tianze and whispered, "Your Highness, should we make a move this time?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Tianze nodded solemnly.

"Hmph, that guy is getting more and more useless as he gets older. He still makes this kind of mistake. He's always so arrogant and thinks everyone else is stupid. If it weren't for the Crown Prince, would he still be able to become marshal again?" The middle-aged man was probably in a good mood and kept talking.

Xiao Qing, who had been hiding in the shadows, also came out and helped Yun Tianze pour out the cold tea and refill it with hot tea. Hearing the middle-aged man's words, she chimed in, "That's right. We should have handed over the power to our master a long time ago. That guy is just a brute. If he hadn't been lucky, would he have even become the marshal?"

"However, we must be wary of that Yuchi Rufeng. He's so young, yet so meticulous and cunning. While this success could be attributed to Li Ming's carelessness and lack of ability, Yuchi Rufeng's ability to devise such a perfect plan suggests he shouldn't be underestimated," the middle-aged man added. He was aware of Yun Tianze's special regard for Yuchi Rufeng, but regardless of their past personal relationship, it was all in the past. Therefore, he needed to do what needed to be done and offer the necessary reminders, lest his master be too soft-hearted.

Seeing that Yun Tianze had no reaction, the middle-aged man wisely changed his words and said, "There is also a traitor in our camp. It seems that the reason why that old guy Li Ming lost so badly this time must be because someone tipped him off."

Xiaoqing, who hadn't dared to interrupt before, nodded and said, "Yes, Master." It would be best if Master could hate Yuchi Rufeng. His methods were so despicable. Although those who died were all the Crown Prince's men, at least they were all from the Spring Vine Kingdom.

Yun Tianze listened to their chatter in silence for a long time before finally saying, "So noisy!"

The two were speechless.

In the capital city of Zi Luo Kingdom

The emperor was overjoyed, feeling that the young marshal had not disgraced his grandfather and that his decision was extremely wise.

The Crown Prince's face remained gloomy. He recalled Yu Chi Rufeng, whom he had met at Fengxian Academy. Wasn't he just a weak scholar? How could he have such abilities? What had everyone else been eating?

The second prince, Yujue, and Yuxuan were very happy.

Yu Xuan raised an eyebrow and laughed, "Now let's see who dares to say that Ru Feng was just lucky last time? How can someone always be so lucky? It must be because our Ru Feng has the ability."

Yu Jue nodded slightly and said, "It's just that Ru Feng has been wronged. He should have been holding a pen, but now he has to pick up a sword to kill people. He must be feeling pretty bad right now."

Yu Xuan fell silent. He looked at his brother, hesitant to speak.

Looking at the flowers blooming brightly in the garden, Yu Jue said softly, "From now on, I will never let him suffer again."

Yu Xuan swallowed back what he was about to say.

Mu Wenchen held the warm letter in his hand. The words on the bottom of the letter were written in a flamboyant style. He frowned and remained silent for a long time.

Mu Tong, who was standing to the side, hurriedly whispered, "Master, what does it say?" His tone was extremely cautious. He only asked because he saw that his master's expression was not good. If his master's expression was good, he would not have paid any attention to what he said.

Mu Wenchen replied, "She's injured again."

"But haven't you heard that Young Master Rufeng won a battle?" So it's inevitable that he'll get injured. People on the street have been talking about this for the past few days, and Rufeng's value has risen accordingly.

Mu Wenchen glanced at Mu Tong and said, "Send another person over there."

Mu Tong had no choice but to agree, but in his heart he was thinking that he might as well just send everyone over.

Volume Two: How Many Return from Ancient Battles? Chapter 108: Remembrance

On her way back, Ru Feng ran into Gao Yueqi and quickly pulled him aside, quietly asking, "Yueqi, how's your relationship with Xiaoying lately?"

"Xiaoying?" Gao Yueqi asked in surprise, his dark face facing Rufeng. The stark contrast between their fair and dark skin drew a few more glances from the passing soldiers.

Upon seeing this, Ru Feng said, "Let's go back to the main tent and talk about it there."

Gao Yueqi nodded obediently. He now sincerely admired Ru Feng and no longer thought of her as a pretty face or a sissy scholar.

“Rong Yiying?” Gao Yueqi sat opposite Ru Feng, stroked his chin, and replied, “I haven’t seen him much lately. It’s mainly because the brothers’ training needs to be intensified, and there are other miscellaneous things to do, so I haven’t had much contact with him. Plus, he’s not a very warm person, so we haven’t talked much lately.” Ru Feng immediately lowered his head in disappointment, staring at the few fruits on the table. These were the kind of treat reserved for marshals and generals, while his were sent by Han Shan. It seems that guy’s business has already reached the border.

"However, Marshal, he came to see me a few days ago and said he wanted to join the Tiger Wing Battalion. I was still considering it at the time, before we started to encircle and annihilate Li Ming's army." Gao Yueqi said immediately when he saw Ru Feng's disappointment.

Ru Feng's eyes lit up, and he snapped his fingers, saying, "Don't you think he seems much stranger than before? I think something's off about him; he seems even more indifferent than before." Ru Feng noticed that Rong Yiying hadn't shown any emotion lately, looking like a walking corpse, completely devoid of thought. Even when people greeted him, he wouldn't even glance at them. Before, he would at least spare a look, but now it was as if he didn't see them at all. However, he seemed to be taking even better care of his precious sword than before.

Of course, all of the above were observed by Zuizhu when he had nothing else to do.

Since meeting Rufeng, Zuizhu has been very interested in Rong Yiying, probably to attract someone's attention, but this person seems quite disdainful. So now Zuizhu is observing her even more intently.

Gao Yueqi scratched his head, puzzled. "No, I think they're all about the same. They've just lost a lot of weight, probably from fighting. In the military, after going to the battlefield, some people do change a lot compared to before, some even become mentally unstable and have nightmares every night. Of course, these things seem to only happen to new recruits; veterans are much better off." As he said this, Gao Yueqi glanced cautiously at Ru Feng.

After listening, Ru Feng pondered for a while and said, "There are such cases. I've always overlooked them before." Even she herself had experienced it before, but she only thought it was because she was used to peace and was a woman, which caused her nightmares every night. She had overlooked the other soldiers.

Ru Feng immediately listed some things on Xuan paper, and then immediately asked Gao Yueqi to summon the generals to a meeting.

"Mental fortitude?" came the unanimous voices from the crowd, their eyes fixed on Ru Feng, who sat in the middle.

Ru Feng nodded seriously: "Our soldiers are all healthy in appearance and eat well, but they have too little entertainment and the military discipline is too strict. Over time, the soldiers will definitely be under a lot of stress. So, to help them relax, we can teach them to sing and have them sing together, so they can have some entertainment after meals, or play a fun game."

The group looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Wang Wei's shrill voice rang out. He flicked his fragrant handkerchief and snorted, "Little Marshal, the soldiers are already exhausted enough. Why are you still trying to torment them? Do you think everyone is like you, sitting in the tent all day, keeping yourself pampered and healthy?"

Ru Feng suppressed her anger and glanced at him. Who knew who was so well-fed and delicate? This guy in front of her was clearly even more pale than her, his face deathly ashen. Gao Wei quickly spoke up, "Since it's the Marshal's suggestion, let's do it for now and see how it goes. It's just singing a song, nothing serious. If it can ease the soldiers' tension, that would be good."
