Song Xingzhi vivió durante el reinado del emperador Huizong

Capítulo 95

Ru Feng had a sudden inspiration and said, "Could it be that you all want to join the army with me?"

Nanshan and Zuizhu nodded.

Ru Feng shook his head quickly: "No, no, I don't want to go either, how can I drag you down with me? Besides, joining the army is no joke. The battlefield is so dangerous, what if something really happens?"

Zui Zhu retorted, "Then why can Zui Yue go with you?"

Zuiyue smiled gently and said, "Because I know medicine." Her tone was somewhat proud. In front of her own people, Zuiyue was not as gentle as usual, and occasionally she would joke around.

Zui Zhu glanced at Zui Yue with envy and muttered, "If only I had studied medicine back then."

Nanshan finally spoke: "Do you think you, with your monkey-like personality, can study medicine?"

Zui Zhu threw a punch, but because it had no power, Nan Shan quickly accepted it.

Ru Feng watched their chase scene indifferently, and after they calmed down, he said, "I don't agree to you two coming with me."

"Senior brother!" Zui Zhu came closer and coaxed, "Senior brother, let us go, my martial arts are very good."

Nanshan smiled slightly, her tone resolute: "I must go."

Ru Feng asked in bewilderment, "Is joining the army really that fun? Why do you all want to send yourselves there?"

“I want to prove the effectiveness of my learning, and I won’t cause you any trouble, senior brother,” Nanshan said, glancing expectantly at Rufeng. “Besides, Master also believes that what I have learned will not be buried on the battlefield.”

Ru Feng thought for a moment, then turned to look at Zui Zhu: "What about you? It's inconvenient for a girl like you."

“I can dress up as a man,” Zui Zhu blurted out.

Zuiyue immediately smiled, glanced at Rufeng, and said, "Zuizhu, it's impossible for you to dress as a man, it doesn't look right. Although you have some heroic spirit between your brows, how can you pretend with your figure? Your voice isn't deep enough, and what about your Adam's apple?"

Ru Feng nodded understandingly. It's not so easy for a woman to dress as a man. Everyone isn't stupid. If you hadn't been born with the intention of doing this, and hadn't subconsciously trained yourself to walk and behave like other men, you would have seen an even more effeminate Yu Chi Ru Feng today.

“However,” Ru Feng’s eyes darted around, and he said, “you can protect Zui Yue by her side. After all, it’s all men there, and it’s not convenient for Zui Yue, a woman, to be alone. Besides, Zui Yue is so delicate-looking, and we don’t know if she might encounter any perverts. Zui Zhu’s martial arts are quite good, so he can definitely protect Zui Yue. But, are you willing?”

Zui Zhu immediately nodded and said excitedly, "It doesn't matter, as long as I can be with my senior brother."

Ru Feng glanced at Nan Shan, and seeing that his expression remained unchanged, shook his head and said, "I can't stand you guys." However, Ru Feng still added, "I hope this decision is what you want yourselves, and not something you were persuaded by your master."

The three nodded firmly and said in unison, "These are all what we want." After saying that, they looked at each other and smiled.

Ru Feng smiled, as if he had returned to the days in the mountains. The four of them were always in sync and would play pranks on him together. The most common thing they did was to peep at him while he was taking a bath, but they never succeeded. Then, when they were caught, they would shift the blame to each other, and each of them was more eloquent than the last.

Nanshan changed the subject: "Senior brother, you still haven't told me what's on your mind?"

Ru Feng shook his head seriously: "Since it's something on my mind, how can I tell you?"

"Senior brother!" the three shouted in unison, their voices quite loud.

Ru Feng leisurely picked up his teacup, took a sip, and chuckled, "Want to disturb others?"

Zui Zhu stuck out his tongue and waved his arms like the wind: "Senior brother, tell me, can we help?" He thought to himself, what a happy thing it would be to be able to help his senior brother! Hehe.

Ru Feng shook his head again: "This is my own problem, and no one can help me."

Nanshan, always quick to sense things, immediately replied, "Senior brother, do you really not want to join the army?"

Ru Feng paused slightly, swirling the teacup in her hand, and said seemingly casually, "I hate killing." This was the truth. Ru Feng couldn't forget the feeling of that moment of killing, an indescribable taste that she could only endure alone in the darkness. In fact, Ru Feng was still thinking about whether to go back. Although rationally she felt it was impossible, she still had an impulse in her heart.

The three of them were stunned, looking at each other in disbelief, none of them expecting this reason.

With a flick of his wrist, Ru Feng unleashed several darts from his sleeve, which landed one by one on the table.

Zui Zhu immediately leaned closer, carefully counted them, and finally said, "Senior brother, isn't this your so-called ultimate weapon? Now one is missing, there are only nine left here."

"There's another one with the dead man; we haven't retrieved it yet," Ru Feng said coldly, recalling the incredulous look in that man's eyes before he died.

Zui Zhu muttered, not daring to ask any more questions.

"Forget it, I'll figure it out. It's been so many years, I should have figured it out long ago. It's late, everyone go back to sleep. Zuiyue has booked rooms for you." Rufeng was silent for a while, then smiled and started to urge everyone to leave.

Nanshan didn't get up, but instead said, "Senior brother, what are you afraid of? This world is like this, and it has always been like this. Either you kill him, or he kills you. Sometimes being soft-hearted and kind can lead you to your doom."

Ru Feng nodded, thinking that she should forget the peaceful and law-abiding life of her previous life, since she could not go back. To survive better here, she should adapt to life here.

Thinking of this, Ru Feng chuckled and said, "You guys go and rest. Just pretend your senior brother was venting."

Upon hearing this, the three of them smiled. To be honest, their senior brother really didn't suit a melancholy expression.

After seeing the three of them off, Ru Feng shook his head and decided not to think about it anymore; what was meant to happen would happen.

Just as he was about to close the door, he heard a "whoosh" and something flew straight at his face. Ru Feng could tell there was no murderous intent, but he didn't try to catch it; he simply dodged to the side.

*Thud!* It slammed right into the door panel.

Ru Feng looked around and figured she couldn't catch up anyway, and she could roughly guess who it was.

I took the letter down, and sure enough, the familiar handwriting was right there in my eyes.

Ru Feng smiled bitterly. Was Grandpa really afraid that he would run away halfway?

Reluctantly, Ru Feng unfolded the letter and began to read. After a long while, she crumpled the paper into pieces, then threw herself onto the bed and took a deep breath. *Sigh* Grandpa is understanding me better and better now. This letter is a departure from his previous harsh tone. Instead, he says he's getting old, over sixty, and doesn't have many days left. He adds that military affairs are plentiful, and enemy countries are eyeing us covetously. The hope of the Yuchi family rests entirely on you, so don't hesitate, come to the military camp and report for duty immediately.

Ru Feng recalled the last time she went home and saw her grandfather, who was still coughing in the middle of the night. Indeed, her grandfather had aged, and his hair had turned much whiter. No matter what, he was an old man, even though he had always denied it before.

So now it's time for me to take responsibility.

After Ru Feng figured things out, she fell into a sweet sleep.
