Fengcheng Flying General - Chapter 82
The ninth best thing is not to rely on each other, so that we don't have to cling to each other.
The seventh point is that we should not make mistakes, so that we will not let each other down.
The tenth best thing is not to meet, so that we can avoid being together.
3. I met the girl in the village of Monyul, south of the mountain. The parrot knows all my secrets; please don't reveal it.
4. Here's another love song by Tsangyang Gyatso:
The images and dreams in my heart, one after another, transform into the peerless beauty of a fair maiden.
Like the moon over Dongshan Mountain, gently emerging from the highest peak.
In the blink of an eye, the garden withers and changes; the fragrant grasses of yesteryear turn into flying tumbleweeds.
Rao Jun has grown old but his body remains, resembling a bamboo bow from the south.
Unexpectedly, they met a beautiful woman and became a couple to ease their longing.
This body is like someone who has just found a pearl after wandering through a vast ocean.

Chapter 288: Eyebrow Painting and Intimacy 1
The raging snowstorm that had lasted all day had long since stopped, and the eastern sky was ablaze with rosy light.
Junyu groggily opened her eyes from that tender and lingering embrace, finding herself lying in such a warm and firm arms. She was greeted by those all-too-familiar, tender and loving eyes. She suddenly realized that from now on, every day when she opened her eyes, the first thing she would see was those tender eyes, and her heart filled with joy. She couldn't help but smile and rest her head against that warm chest once more.
Tuosang looked at her tenderly and took her hand: "Junyu, today is New Year's Eve."
"Yes, we need to get back to the camp soon. Hehe, from today onwards, you'll be my personal bodyguard."
The woman before him had long, flowing hair, her eyes sparkling, and a radiant smile that exuded a new, gentle charm, like a glistening dewdrop rolling on a newly opened flower. Tuosang reminisced about the first baptism in their lives that had just passed, recalling her tender, shy beauty, and his heart fluttered again, leaving him speechless for a long while.
Junyu blushed and gently nudged him, saying, "You idiot."
Tuosang suddenly came to his senses, his heart filled with a new kind of happiness. He gently hugged her, bowed to her, and smiled, "Yes, Marshal Jun. I will be your 'personal bodyguard' for the rest of my life."
The cool morning breeze blew in through the open wooden door.
The ice and snow in the earthenware pot had slowly melted into warm water under the firelight, while the cold, hard dry rations had been roasted to a golden brown by the fire, barely emitting a fragrant aroma.
With the warm water placed before her, Junyu suddenly recalled the days when she was blind, and how Tuosang had done similar things by that small lake. Back then, he had never done such mundane tasks before, learning everything through trial and error. She remembered the porridge he had burned, and couldn't help but smile again, looking down gently at the reflection in the still-shaking basin of water.
A warm, large hand stroked her completely disheveled hair.
Junyu looked up, and Tuosang took out a very delicate tortoiseshell comb from his pocket, and said softly, "During the days when you were blind, every morning when I watched you wash up, I longed to comb your hair for you, especially on that last morning..."
Junyu recalled that stormy night when Tuosang, though he had tacitly acknowledged her identity, remained silent. When she woke up the next morning, fearing that he had already left, he brought her warm water and told her to wash up.
“In the days that followed, I regretted many times why I didn’t comb your hair that morning…” Tuosang gently combed your dark, silky hair and smiled, “Once, I saw this comb and thought it would suit you perfectly, so I bought it. Now, my wish has finally come true.”
"Hehe, from now on, I'll ask you to comb my hair every day, let's see if you get annoyed."
"I like it even when it annoys me, haha."
Chapter 289: Eyebrow Painting and Tenderness 2
Tuosang gently combed her long hair, and Junyu felt the tenderness and warmth from his fingertips. Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed his hand. Tuosang stopped, leaned down slightly, and put his arm around her shoulder, saying, "Junyu, what's wrong?"
Junyu turned her head to stare at him, her mind feeling light and unreal, as if in a dream. She looked again at the familiar yet unfamiliar wooden house. Three years ago, Tuosang had closed his eyes in her arms right here. Three years later, he was standing beside her again, and they were married. It was all almost unbelievable.
No matter how severe the war, how arduous the battle, or even when she had just lost her sight, she had never fallen into such a hallucinatory state. It seemed to be a complete void, utterly impossible to grasp.
Feeling her grip on his hand tighten, Tuosang took her hand in return and said softly, "Junyu, what's wrong?"
She shook her head and whispered, "Tuo Sang, I always feel like it's all a dream. It's like I'm in a dream..."
"Silly child!" Tuosang hugged her tightly: "It's not a dream! From now on, I will be by your side every single day."
That unforgettable embrace felt so real, the soft whispers in her ear a stark reminder that everything before her was real. She looked up, a faint blush on her cheeks. Tuosang reached out and touched that blush, and Junyu suddenly felt a little embarrassed, nestling her head against his chest again.
Tuosang hugged her head and laughed, "Silly child, how am I supposed to comb your hair like this!"
Junyu then looked up with a grin, giving him a reproachful look: "Alright, you can continue now."
The crown and sash were already tied. Junyu looked down at her reflection in the water. In the shimmering reflection, the woman with long, flowing black hair transformed back into a dashing young man in a blue robe. She took Tuosang's hand, looked at his blue robe, which was similar to her own, and said with a grin, "Tuosang, don't we look like brothers? But I'm more handsome than you, aren't I?"
Tuosang touched her hair and smiled, "You're much more handsome than me. But we're not brothers, we're husband and wife."
In the sheltered spot outside the cabin, two horses stretched their necks and neighed loudly. One was black and the other white, both exceptionally swift and spirited.
Junyu was overjoyed and looked at Tuosang. Tuosang nodded: "These are the two best horses I've ever seen out of thousands, so I brought them for you. After Xiaoshuai was poisoned, your mounts weren't what you wanted either, so I thought you'd find them useful. Which one do you like?"
Junyu walked over, and the large, jet-black horse, without a single blemish, suddenly stuck out its tongue at her. Junyu was overjoyed: "This one is it. The white horse is yours."

Chapter 290: Eyebrow Painting and Intimacy 3
Xining Prefecture.
Although the atmosphere of impending war was growing increasingly intense, it couldn't dampen the festive spirit of the New Year. From early morning, the army mess hall was already preparing relatively lavish meals. And the patrolling soldiers all had a hint of joy on their faces.
This was the first time Tuosang had entered this spacious yet empty command camp.
A room was partitioned off inside the camp. It was originally the bedroom of the personal guards of the previous marshals. After Junyu arrived, there were no personal guards, so the room was left empty.
Further inside was the commander-in-chief's bedchamber.
Tuosang looked at the simple and clean room, then at the equally clean guards' quarters outside, and looked at Junyu with a half-smile. "It seems that my wife and I will have to endure the pain of being so close yet so far for a while..." Then, he said in a low voice, "Junyu, is it possible to occasionally have a secret affair?"
Junyu blushed and said in a low voice, "This is a military camp, what nonsense are you talking about!"
On the desk lay Junyu's newly completed military strategy book, "The Phoenix Military Strategy." Tuosang picked it up and quickly began to read it, though he read it very attentively.
After he had finished reading, Junyu smiled and said, "Tuosang, are you very interested?"
Tuosang gazed at her. The woman before him was no longer the soft, shy girl he had held last night. Simply by donning military attire, she had transformed into a composed and unyielding warrior. Of course, she was not merely a valiant warrior capable of sweeping through armies; this profound military treatise alone was enough to place her among the ranks of top-tier generals. The same woman could embody both the gentlest and the strongest qualities to such an extreme. At this moment, he couldn't help but sincerely thank fate for its miracle, and for the blessings bestowed upon him by heaven.
He nodded: "Junyu, although I have no interest in war, I am very interested in fighting this great war with you. Only in this way can we truly leave and live the life we want."
On the way to Xining Prefecture, Junyu talked to him about the war situation in the north and found that he knew more about it than he had imagined. So he said, "Tuosang, now is the time when we need people. Hehe, in addition to being my personal bodyguard, you will also be my strategist."
Tuosang gave that enigmatic smile again: "Of course I will do my best to share your burden. At the very least, I hope that those days of being so close yet so far apart will end as soon as possible."

Chapter 291: An Ominous Premonition
Junyu gazed at him and suddenly sighed: "Tuosang, we may only have this one day of leisure. After that, we will immediately be thrown into intense war preparations. Until the end of the war, there will never be another day of peace."
Tuosang nodded: "Of course I know. Junyu, no matter what difficulties we face, we'll be happy as long as we're together."
Junyu noticed that his headdress was slightly fluttering, as if the wind had messed up his hair on the way back to Xining Prefecture. She suddenly remembered his appearance in his white-robed monk's robes three years ago, and couldn't help but chuckle to herself. She took out the tortoiseshell jade comb from her bosom and waved it: "You came in a hurry and weren't prepared. You can use this comb first."
Tuosang laughed: "I can just make do with whatever, why would I need this?"
"If you don't want it, I'll keep it." Junyu withdrew her outstretched hand, and somehow, she suddenly lost her grip, and the jade comb fell to the ground, shattering into two pieces.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly bent down to pick it up, then casually tucked it into her bosom.
Tuosang gently hugged her and laughed, "Silly child, just throw it away if it's broken. We'll buy a better one after the war is over."
“Okay.” Junyu smiled brightly. “I can’t wait for this day to come.”
Inside the council hall, generals Zhang Yuan, Zhou Yida, Liu Zhiyuan, the military supervisor, and Lu Ling, who was in charge of training the troops, were already gathered. The appointed time for the council meeting arrived almost precisely on schedule; they saw their commander-in-chief enter, accompanied by an unfamiliar man.
Seeing two such outstanding "men" appear together at the same time, even the rough and tough military generals were somewhat surprised, so much so that the camp suddenly became silent for a while.
"Everyone, this is the new strategist of the General's Mansion, and also my personal bodyguard. He is very familiar with the terrain and the war situation in the north..." She smiled and looked around. "You can just call him Young Master Jun."
Tuosang bowed to everyone and sat down next to Junyu.
Everyone was deeply moved by the new "strategist's" composed and dignified demeanor, and his imposing presence.
Zhang Yuan and Zhou Yida had participated in the Battle of Tiema Temple, but they had only seen Tuosang once. At that time, Tuosang's face was covered in blood and he was dressed in monk's robes. Now, seeing this handsome man, they could hardly recognize him at all.
Lu Ling and Mr. Nongying had fought alongside Tuosang several times, so they naturally knew him and were aware of his close relationship with Junyu. But wasn't Tuosang clearly dead? He looked over in surprise, and Tuosang smiled and nodded at him. Although Lu Ling was still somewhat surprised, seeing that Junyu addressed him as "Young Master Jun," he knew his identity was extremely special, so he returned the smile without showing any surprise.

Chapter 292: Facing Zhu Yu 1
Inside the council hall, generals Zhang Yuan, Zhou Yida, Liu Zhiyuan, the military supervisor, and Lu Ling, who was in charge of training the troops, were already gathered. The appointed time for the council meeting arrived almost precisely on schedule; they saw their commander-in-chief enter, accompanied by an unfamiliar man.

He looked over in surprise, and Tuosang smiled and nodded at him. Although Lu Ling was still somewhat surprised, seeing that Junyu addressed him as "Young Master Jun," he knew his identity was extremely special, so he returned the smile without showing any surprise.
One after another, military intelligence reports, battle reports, and suggestions were submitted.
Junyu carefully and quickly flipped through the document, and then exchanged opinions with each of the generals.
For a long time, the Chijin tribe had avoided large-scale decisive battles with the imperial army, relying on their light cavalry advantage. They fought when they could win and fled when they couldn't. If the imperial army pursued them, they would be lured into perilous situations, forced to adopt a scorched-earth policy, and suffer a crushing defeat. However, since Zhu Yu joined them, under his training, their ability to coordinate heavy and light cavalry in frontal combat has increased. Therefore, Zhenmutier has long been eager to engage in a major decisive battle with the imperial army, hoping to completely eliminate this northwestern barrier at a great cost and launch a large-scale southward invasion.
The generals had already offered their opinions and suggestions, and finally, all eyes turned to Tuosang, eager to see what insights this new "strategist" had to offer. Besides wanting to hear his "insights," they were secretly astonished by his extremely unusual status as her "personal bodyguard." The generals all knew that Junyu's martial arts were unparalleled; even the best fighters in the army paled in comparison. Therefore, she had never had a personal bodyguard. Yet, this newcomer had become her "personal bodyguard"—could it be that his martial arts were even superior to hers?
