The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World - Chapter 143
After a long while, Ru Feng finally glanced at Yun Tianze, because she sensed that the person opposite her was about to explode with anger. Strange, back in the academy, Yun Tianze was so gentle. Due to his poor health, he was always either gentle and mild-mannered or indifferent. Unexpectedly, now that he didn't have to pretend to be sick, his expressions had become more varied.
Moreover, his eyes were staring at him with a hungry, burning gaze, yet he forced himself to remain silent and restrained.
What a strange person! Ru Feng concluded.
"Tianze, is there something you need?" Rufeng said slowly, a smile appearing on his face.
Yun Tianze stared intently at him and said, "Ru Feng, let's get back to the point. What exactly are you trying to do by letting me catch you this time?"
Zhao Jian pouted, looking aggrieved: "What do you mean I did it on purpose? You clearly knew I was nearby all along. Even if I didn't walk into your trap, you would have caught me anyway. There are only a few of us, how can we compare to your ten thousand men? So I might as well just come to you willingly and reduce the chance of casualties."
Upon hearing this, Yun Tianze merely snorted and silently looked at Ru Feng.
Ru Feng sighed and said, "Let's not fight. So many people have already died, and I've killed Li Ming, who was always against you, so..." Ru Feng didn't finish his sentence, but it's believed he understood.
Yun Tianze looked at the outside of the tent and smiled, saying, "Ru Feng, you have no martial arts skills now, and everyone knows that you are the marshal of the enemy country and that you killed our marshal. So now many people are hoping that I will kill you immediately, or use you to lure the enemy to open the city gates."
Ru Feng smiled and said, "You know perfectly well that I can't let you take me and force them to open the city gates." Ru Feng's tone was casual, but there was a resolute look in his eyes.
"Even without capturing you, I can still conquer your Luoyan City!" Yun Tianze said arrogantly, glancing sideways at Ru Feng.
"Impossible! You can't take it. Do you think Luoyan City is so easy to conquer? Or do you really think your 100,000-strong army is that powerful?" Ru Feng immediately retorted. The two had been at odds for a long time, each with their own victories and defeats. So even though he was currently besieged, the outcome was still uncertain. This was his territory, after all.
"As long as we can capture Luoyan City, then conquering large swathes of your Zilu Kingdom will be no problem. Right now, Luoyan City only has a maximum of 60,000 troops. In addition, there are many civilians who also need to eat and drink. So as long as we besiege the city and cut off your communication with the outside world and the supply of food, do you think so many of your people can hold out for more than a few days?" Yun Tianze said contemptuously, a smile playing on his lips.
"Childish!" After a long pause, Ru Feng glared at him and finally managed to squeeze out two words!
Yun Tianze shook his white jade fan and smiled slightly: "So you do have some self-awareness after all?"
"I don't believe you can stop a bird from flying away. Once our reinforcements arrive, you'll be like fish on a chopping board, at our mercy!" As he spoke, Ru Feng made a chopping motion.
snort!
snort!
The two remained silent, staring at each other in silence.
Hidden in the shadows, Uncle Yun shook his head and sighed inwardly. He hadn't expected the leaders of the two armies to say such childish things. He could understand Yu Chi Rufeng, after all, he was young and impetuous, but his usually composed master was also making a fool of himself? Sigh, when will they finally get down to business?
Two nights later, the surroundings were quiet. The soldiers on patrol walked almost silently, suggesting that those protecting Yun Tianze were all highly skilled in martial arts.
Ru Feng lay in her little nest, sighing inwardly. It was really just a corner of Yun Tianze's room, furnished with a simple blanket, half as a mat and half as a quilt. But Ru Feng was already quite content; at least she wasn't being sent to some kind of prison like a pigsty. Thinking about it, Yun Tianze had treated her quite well.
But it's been two days already, and tomorrow will be the third day. When are they finally coming? How much longer am I going to have to stay here?
"Sigh!" Ru Feng sighed deeply, gazing at the luminous pearl outside Yun Tianze's tent. Her eyes darted around. "It's truly unbearable to be living under someone else's roof," she thought. These past few days, someone had been secretly tormenting her while Yun Tianze was away. Xiao Qing was one thing; that guy's dislike for her had been going on for a long time. And this afternoon, she finally couldn't take it anymore and warned him that if he bothered her again, she would tell Yun Tianze that she had a crush on him. So now Xiao Qing was only glaring at her angrily, but didn't dare to do anything directly.
But the others were different. The middle-aged man who drove the carriage, the one Yun Tianze called "Uncle Yun," always seemed to dislike him. He also seemed to wield considerable power, constantly causing trouble for him when Yun Tianze wasn't around. He would either trip him up unexpectedly or use his superior martial arts skills to easily make him fall. And yet, with so many people watching him, they all pretended not to see it!
The method was naive, but it was surprisingly effective, and Ru Feng was too embarrassed to tell Yun Tianze. Besides, Ru Feng knew that Uncle Yun was incredibly skilled in martial arts; if he still possessed his own skills, he could probably only manage a draw. Let alone in the current situation, where Yun Tianze could crush him as easily as crushing an ant.
Thinking of this, Ru Feng revealed a strange smile.
Ru Feng thought about it and realized that Yun Tianze was the most troublesome person. He always looked at her with that burning gaze. When others were around, he would restrain himself. But when they were alone, he would let it show without restraint, with a tender and affectionate look that made her very uncomfortable. Sometimes, if she said something that didn't please him, he would turn on her faster than turning the pages of a book, get angry in an instant, and then storm off. Then she would be in trouble, and those who wanted to mess with her would appear one after another, greeting her.
Thinking of Yun Tianze, Ru Feng sighed again, touching his face that had caused the trouble, and couldn't help but think of Mu Wenchen again. The last battle was extremely fierce, and he thought he was going to die. At that time, he was just mechanically swinging the sword in his hand, but Mu Wenchen's face appeared in his mind. Whether it was his face with a faint smile, the way he bowed his head and played the zither, or the way he stood tall with his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering... all of these filled Ru Feng with longing.
I thought I would never see him again in this lifetime, but I never expected to come back to life. My first feeling was that I was so happy that I wanted to cry, even though I had been betrayed by Rong Yiying.
This is the first time I've been so close to death. In my previous life, I was killed in a chemical experiment failure without warning, in an instant. But this time, I'm slowly being drained of my strength, it feels like being slowly sliced to death.
I was really bad; the first person I thought of was Mu Wenchen, not my family.
"Sigh!" Ru Feng sighed again and asked Chen, "Where are you now?"
Ru Feng shook his head, deciding to stop thinking about matters of love and romance. He was already imprisoned, yet he was still thinking about such things!
In the quiet of the night, a voice suddenly rang out: "Are you thinking of Mu Wenchen?"
Ru Feng was startled. It was already past midnight, and he hadn't expected that guy to still be awake.
Yun Tianze also sighed softly: "I know about you and him, no need to deny it. But, whether you are a man or a woman, I will not give up, and it is impossible for you and that Mu Wenchen."
Ru Feng suddenly stood up and asked in a low voice, "Why is it impossible? We can find a place to hide, and then they won't know we're in a same-sex relationship."
Yun Tianze snorted coldly and sat up as well, saying firmly, "You wish! Let's not even talk about how you're currently the marshal of the country's border. Even if you wanted to quit, your grandfather or your emperor would have to be willing to let you go. Besides, how could you possibly control Mu Wenchen's identity?"
"Anything else? Anything else?" Ru Feng asked quickly. Mu Wenchen's identity? Oh no, I forgot to ask again.
Yun Tianze refused to speak further. He glanced at Ru Feng in the shadows, only able to see his shining eyes. His heart softened, and he sighed, "Anyway, it's impossible for you two. Why don't you change your mind and be with me now? Whether you're a man or a woman, I'll like you and accept it." His tone was full of affection. Even though Ru Feng didn't like him, she couldn't bear to say anything heartless, so she could only pretend not to hear him.
Seeing that he lay down again, Yun Tianze also lay down and sighed softly, which made Ru Feng even more irritable.
Damn it, why am I attracting so many suitors lately? Mu Wenchen is one thing, I already had feelings for him, and now our relationship has progressed even further. But Yun Tianze? Sigh...
The next day, Ru Feng ate breakfast with Yi You, who had panda eyes. He had been a vote counter all day, but he was secretly anxious.
Finally, when it was time for dinner, Yun Tianze went out to discuss business, leaving me alone to eat under the watchful eyes of the others.
Just then, Rufeng heard a faint buzzing sound. It said, "Rufeng, it's me. I'm on your left. Don't turn around. Just be prepared at midnight tonight. We will rescue you."
Ru Feng dropped his chopsticks, paused for a moment, then slowly picked them up from the table and continued eating.
But their eyes shone.
