Rêve de Jiangshan

Chapitre 127

As soon as Wang Wei left, Nanshan walked in and said, "Senior brother, why has that military supervisor been coming to see you so often lately?"

Ru Feng pouted and immediately ran to the washbasin to wash her hands, saying with a bitter face, "How should I know? Anyway, he's disgusting. He always finds excuses to touch me, and his eyes are always glaring at me. But putting that aside, this person is the Crown Prince's man, and he has been praising the Crown Prince's great achievements to me several times, which is very annoying, but I can't refuse him directly."

Nanshan snorted coldly: "Hmph, everyone knows what he's thinking. He's been spending too much time with several generals these past few days, but he's been very different with you, always smiling."

"But don't you think the way he looks at me is disgusting?" Ru Feng glared at him and said.

Nanshan chuckled and said, "I know you wouldn't let yourself suffer. By the way, senior brother, tomorrow is your eighteenth birthday. What are your plans for celebrating?"

Ru Feng stroked his chin, tapped the table lightly, and said irritably, "Don't spread it around. Just act like usual. This is a critical moment. The Spring Ivy Country is making constant small moves, so we can't relax for a moment. We can celebrate your birthday next year."

Nanshan nodded in agreement: "That makes sense, but I'll still boil ten eggs for you tomorrow to symbolize perfection. We can't celebrate, but we should at least eat something nice."

Ru Feng smiled and said, "Whatever you want." Ten eggs? Luckily, I don't eat them every day, or I'd definitely get high cholesterol.

Having probably attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven, Ru Feng's current standard of living is quite good. He has his own room, hot water for showers every day, and the food is also good. As a result, Nan Shan and Zui Yue's meals have also improved considerably. However, Ru Feng now has another problem, because Zui Zhu keeps pestering him, saying that being by Zui Yue's side is boring and that he always wants to be Ru Feng's personal bodyguard. This has naturally drawn strong opposition from Ru Feng and Nan Shan, and they are currently at an impasse.

The next day, under the watchful eyes of his junior brothers and sisters, Ru Feng peeled and ate ten bright red eggs all at once. Seeing their smiles, Ru Feng could only grin along. After a while, he remembered to drink a big gulp of tea and then said with a smile, "It's best not to eat more than two eggs a day, otherwise it's not good for your health."

“How could that be? Eggs are a good thing. Even if you don’t want to eat them, you can’t use this as an excuse to avoid it,” Zui Zhu immediately shouted.

Ru Feng shook his head and smiled wryly, saying nothing more. That's the generation gap!

I was eating when a soldier came to report that someone had brought me something.

Curious, Ru Feng went out with Nan Shan and the others. They saw a soldier standing at the door of Ru Feng's tent, with a horse beside him. The soldier saluted when he saw Ru Feng come out and said, "Reporting to the Marshal, the steward of the Yuchi Mansion in Luoyan City just sent someone to deliver this horse, saying that it was a gift for you."

Before Ru Feng could finish listening to the soldier's words, his eyes were drawn to the horse.

The horse before me had chestnut-red mane, long, strong limbs, solid muscles, and bright, piercing eyes. It exuded an undeniable air of pride and arrogance. At that moment, it was looking at Ru Feng and let out a joyful neigh.

What a fine horse! It's truly a handsome horse! Even though Ru Feng didn't know much about horses, he knew that the horse in front of him was a fine one. Ru Feng took the letter handed to him by the soldier, unfolded it and read it. He couldn't help but show a big smile on his face.

Ru Feng strode forward and happily stroked the horse in front of him, which obediently allowed Ru Feng to stroke it.

Nanshan and Zuizhu couldn't resist the temptation and went forward to touch it. The horse neighed, its body trembled, and it even raised its front hooves.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then the soldier said, "This horse is said to have recognized its master, and it probably considers the marshal its master. It's best if no one else touches it."

Ru Feng took a closer look at the soldier. He was very ordinary-looking, the kind of person you would forget in the blink of an eye. But Ru Feng noticed that he was calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant. He was wearing the clothes of an ordinary soldier, but he had a temperament that no soldier could possess.

So he asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Zhou Qian." The soldier saluted again.

Ru Feng nodded and said, "Then you can stay by my side."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qian immediately knelt down and said loudly, "Thank you, Marshal. I will go through fire and water for you, even at the cost of my life."

Ru Feng smiled slightly and said, "Get up, no need to stand on ceremony."

From then on, Ru Feng had a personal guard named Zhou Qian by his side, who was extremely loyal to Ru Feng.

Nanshan and the others were very puzzled.

Ru Feng said with a smile, "This is a gift from Wen Chen for my eighteenth birthday. He told me to accept it along with the horse."

The three suddenly realized what was going on. Except for Zuiyue, who looked enlightened, Zuizhu and Nanshan both had complicated expressions. They just looked at Rufeng's happy face and didn't say anything more. Zuiyue just secretly smiled to herself, once again feeling glad that she had studied medicine.

After getting the horse, Ru Feng's frustration caused by Wang Wei in the past few days disappeared. He rode his beloved horse to the training ground to show it off and also to bond with it. As expected of a horse, after an afternoon of practice and interaction, the two gradually developed a deeper bond.

Do not doubt it, the horse's name is indeed "Bao Ma". Jing Feng has been raised at the Yu Chi Mansion. It is getting old, so Mu Wen Chen thought of giving Ru Feng a horse.

A few days later, Wang Wei continued to pester her, his expression ambiguous. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Ru Feng abruptly pulled her hand away from his grasp and said firmly, "Please, Your Excellency, have some self-respect. I do not like to interact with others. Please forgive me!" Her voice was indifferent, and although her expression was not icy, it was still expressionless.

Wang Wei's well-maintained face immediately flushed red with anger. His delicate fingers trembled as he pointed at Ru Feng and shrieked, "Yu Chi Ru Feng, don't be so stubborn! Our family has condescended to invite you to the Crown Prince's camp, which is already a sign of respect. Do you still think you're so important just because you're the young master of the Yu Chi family? It's still uncertain whether Yu Chi Huai Yang will wake up. Do you think you can hold onto your position as marshal?"

Now that the two had completely broken off relations, Ru Feng stopped pretending and said directly, "We'll see how things go in the future." He breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that the news of his grandfather's awakening had been kept secret, otherwise he wouldn't have said that.

And so, the feud between the two began.

When the others found out, their expressions varied.

Gao Wei sighed, "Now it might be inconvenient for us to do things. He will obstruct us at every turn."

“But this concerns military intelligence, he shouldn’t dare to tamper with things,” Ru Feng said coldly. She had long been unable to tolerate it. That damned eunuch was always taking advantage of her. Even though she was a man, he always looked at her with those lecherous eyes.

"I hope so," Nanshan sighed from the side, "Offending petty people is very troublesome."

Chapter 106 Orders

As a result, Wang Wei constantly opposed Ru Feng, even interfering in military affairs. Everyone knew that Wang Wei knew nothing about military matters, and his actions were merely intended to disrupt the peace. However, his behavior did have some impact on the army.

The war finally broke out. The Spring Vine Kingdom frequently sent people to provoke them, and they always liked to launch surprise attacks on patrols or the surrounding towns. Therefore, Ru Feng did not have time to deal with Wang Wei for the time being.

This was a test. Ru Feng knew it perfectly well.

As a marshal, Ru Feng doesn't need to personally lead troops into battle; he only needs to command and strategize from the military camp.

"By the way, how is Li Ming getting along with their second prince?" Ru Feng asked suddenly while looking at the military formation map.

The generals standing nearby were taken aback for a moment, and then one of them immediately replied, "It is said that they coexist peacefully, and the two are very polite and harmonious."

Ru Feng raised the corners of his mouth and said sarcastically, "Do you believe that Li Ming will obediently listen to orders, or let the Second Prince, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, stand against him? Li Ming is indeed talented, but he is arrogant. Last time when he led his troops to attack our camp, if it weren't for his arrogance, we wouldn't have succeeded so easily. If Li Ming is still in charge now, we won't have to put in much effort to resist, but what if the Second Prince is in charge?"

Gao Wei nodded and said, "The Marshal is absolutely right. The Second Prince is said to be meticulous, shrewd, and very patient. In his power struggle with the First Prince of Chun Teng Kingdom, he made a name for himself. In just one year, he has become an equal to the First Prince, who has been working hard for many years. He came to the frontier this time to make military achievements, so that he can increase his chances of ascending to the throne in the future."

“But the enemy is still under the command of Li Ming, who is just a third prince. He is weak and powerless. What is there to fear?” Lu Meng said proudly, puffing out his strong chest.
