My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield Novel - Chapter 210
Chapter 210: Famous
In the princess’s residence, Su Wen returned.
Upon entering, a maid reported, “Mister Su, the princess wants you to go over. She’s in her room!”
Su Wen smiled and nodded.
Now, he was aware of the layout of the princess residence.
Not long after, he came to the princess’s room and knocked on the door gently.
“Come in!”
Su Wen pushed open the door and entered. A fragrance wafted over. The princess was dressed very casually and was sitting in front of the dressing table while drawing her eyebrows in the mirror.
“Mr. Su, I heard that Third Brother invited you to a banquet?” As expected, just as Su Wen and the Third Prince expected, Xiang Feiyan immediately went straight to the point.
“That’s right! The chefs in their residence are much better at cooking than the chefs in our residence. Our residence is filled with leeks and kidneys all day long, only making us heaty!” Su Wen complained.
Xiang Feiyan said unhappily, “Hmph, then I think you better eat less!”
After saying that, she looked at Su Wen and asked, “What did Third Brother tell you?”
Su Wen casually said, “The moment the Third Prince saw me, he was stunned. He insisted that I be his guest and even got two women to flirt with me. He didn’t even stop serving food. Later on, he even wanted to give me a mansion… He said that I didn’t need to come back. He even said that he would provide me with a beautiful wife and concubines, and he could always give me with good food and drinks. Do you think I can agree to that?”
Xiang Feiyan was a little unhappy and asked, “Why didn’t Mister agree?”
Su Wen smiled and said, “Even if those maids are young and beautiful, the princess is still a member of our Flame God Sect. So I told him! I have to go back and greet the princess first! I’ll leave after informing Her Highness. Also, I have to bring my two servants with me!”
Upon hearing this, despair flashed across Xiang Feiyan’s eyes. Su Wen then took out the sachet and threw it on the table. He smiled and said, “This fellow even gave me some gems in the end. I saw that Your Highness was rather plain, so I wanted to take it back for you! At least we’re even now. I’ll go to his place to look for my beautiful wife and concubines later…”
Xiang Feiyan gritted her teeth when she heard this. She stood up and stuck to Su Wen’s side. She stuffed the sachet back into Su Wen’s hand and said coldly, “Then Mister, hurry up and leave! I won’t make you stay any longer!”
However, her heart was filled with bitterness and her eyes were already misty. She turned around, unwilling to let Su Wen see her crying expression.
At this moment, Su Wen walked to the bed and sat down. He chuckled and said, “That won’t do. Later on, I thought about it and thought that we could ignore the friendship between the sects, but the Eldest Princess is beautiful and I can’t not see her for a day. Otherwise, wouldn’t my heart be broken?”
At this moment, he really brought Xiang Feiyan from hell to heaven!
She instantly understood that Su Wen was teasing her!
She immediately turned around and pounced at Su Wen!
“You won’t be able to escape today. Did you say that the food has made you heaty? Then let me see how big the flame is!”
Meanwhile, rumors spread throughout the Great Chu!
“Have you heard? It’s an auspicious sign from the heavens! Someone actually obtained a jade token from the stomach of a fish. On it is written, Bo Shan Emperor, Prosperity to Great Chu! Once His Highness the Crown Prince succeeds the throne, it will be the day our Great Chu rises.”
“I heard that His Majesty is also severely ill now. I wonder if it’s true.”
“How would we know that? But His Highness the Crown Prince is blessed by the heavens. That’s a blessing for our Great Chu.”
To the commoners, such rumors could greatly satisfy their desire for superstitious gossip.
The legends of gods and demons, ghosts and spirits were extremely prevalent in this world.
One had to know that even in the 21st century where technology was advanced, there were still people who believed in such things.
Let alone in a world where the commoners were even more ignorant.
Regardless of whether it was true or false, the matter spread further and further.
In the market, on the fish vendor’s stall, the owner’s saliva was flying everywhere. “That day, when I cut open the fish’s stomach, I saw a white dragon flash across the sky. A ray of white light fell and landed in front of my stall. After cutting open the fish’s stomach, I saw the white dragon swimming around. When I re-focused my eyes and looked again, it had transformed into that jade token… It’s really an auspicious sign from the heavens!”
The boss was very happy. Although the jade token had been taken away, his business had been booming these past two days.
His version of the story had also changed countless times.
In any case, he spoke happily, and the commoners who bought the fish were also happy. He sold even more happily!
As he spoke, a team of officials arrived.
“Take him away!”
When everyone saw this scene, they quickly dispersed. The boss was shocked!
“Why did you capture me? I’m the one who discovered an auspicious sign! I’m innocent!”
“Shut his mouth! Take him away!”
The official only reprimanded in a cold tone.
The boss was immediately gagged and taken away!
At this moment, that jade token was in the Great Chu Imperial Palace. Emperor Chu was holding it in his hand.
“Have you found any clues?”
“No… No!” The black-clothed man was drenched in cold sweat. This His Majesty had killed countless people in his life, and it was not easy to fool him. He hurriedly said, “The fish from the stall were all collected on the spot. The fishermen who collected the fish have all checked, but they didn’t find any clues. This jade has also been asked everywhere, but no one has sold it. I don’t know where it came from, but the carvings on it are excellent. The sculptors in the city have also been questioned about the methods used, but there are no clues.”
The man in black reported in detail.
Emperor Chu looked at the jade tablet in his hand and muttered, “Crown Prince, are you forcing me to state my stance? This move is quite interesting. Winning over the commoners’ favor first, this method is clean, and he has improved quite a bit from before! But have you ever thought that if I wanted you to ascend the throne now… why would I need you to use this method?”
“How will you deal with my other sons? Don’t disappoint me.”
In Emperor Chu’s opinion, this move was definitely done by the Crown Prince, because in this situation, he was the person receiving the greatest benefits.
Emperor Chu didn’t care that the Crown Prince had a higher reputation than the other princes. After all, as the first-in-line successor, if he really chose to pass down the throne, it was also good for the Crown Prince to have a higher reputation.
But even so, Emperor Chu was still secretly displeased.
Because this move was violating the royal authority.
He had yet to die, but the Crown Prince had used such methods to make everyone hope that the Crown Prince would ascend to the throne. As an Emperor, he did not like such actions.
As an Emperor with an extremely strong desire to control, he preferred for his sons to fight within the rules and under his control, instead of doing something that even he could not control.
In the Crown Prince’s residence, the Crown Prince was sitting with his advisor.
The Crown Prince still looked a little happy.
He smiled and said, “I wonder who came up with such a brilliant plan. They’re simply sending me hope on purpose. Now, the citizens in the city have already spread the news. Why didn’t we think of this before!”
The advisor frowned and said, “There’s something wrong with this matter. Why are they doing this? This way, Your Highness might incur the unhappiness of His Majesty, but the benefits are still acceptable.”
That’s right! In terms of effectiveness, it was indeed acceptable.
The Crown Prince smiled, “How would I know? In any case, there are rumors everywhere now. In the past few days, there have even been many officials expressing their goodwill to me. It’s always a good thing.”
The Crown Prince was very happy, but not for long. Unexpected things happened right after that.
In the next few days, similar tricks began to appear one after another!
There was some news about the sudden appearance of a stone tablet, or hearing a proclamation in the middle of the night… all sorts of methods were used.
However, this time, the protagonist changed.
The Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, the Sixth Prince, and the others were all brought to the limelight as well!
At this moment, the capital was bustling.
It would be fine if this sort of thing happened once, but if it happened too often, wouldn’t it become a joke?
The Crown Prince’s popularity… was soon dashed.
However, as for who was responsible for the consecutive strange incidents, it was a huge question mark.
At the very least, in Emperor Chu’s heart, he was somewhat uncertain!
Was this a technique of one person? Or was it a technique of multiple people?
“Your Majesty, the Eldest Princess is here!” In the palace, Emperor Chu, who was deep in thought, unconsciously revealed a smile.
At the end of the day, he was in a hospital bed and was about to die. Didn’t he desire a little pure affection?
“Let her in.”
As expected, the Eldest Princess entered with a food box.
Everything was personally made by her.
“Royal Father, I went to the market today and saw a rather fresh blood snake, so I bought it and made a bowl of snake meat soup for Royal Father. This thing nourishes the Qi and blood, and is the most beneficial for one’s health.” Xiang Feiyan appeared very obedient.
Emperor Chu slowly ate the meat soup. His current body no longer allowed him to eat too much.
“I heard that there are some rumors in the city recently?” Emperor Chu asked.
Xiang Feiyan smiled and said, “I don’t know about this. Perhaps there is, perhaps there isn’t, but I’ve never cared about it, so I’m not too sure.”
“Do you think Boshan will be a good emperor?” Emperor Chu asked again.
At this moment, Xiang Feiyan fell silent. After a while, she shook her head and said, “I don’t know. If Royal Father thinks he is, then he is. If Royal Father thinks he isn’t, then he isn’t.”
Her words were flawless.
In the past few days, Su Wen had been training her against all sorts of questions that could be asked by Emperor Chu.
He had thought of a way to deal with all kinds of questions that Emperor Chu might say.
The questions asked today were within their expectations.
Even her words, actions, and expression had all been rehearsed beforehand.
“I remember that you also wanted to be an emperor. You even changed Sheng’er’s surname. Why have you lost your ambition now?” Emperor Chu seemed to be a little disappointed.
However, Xiang Feiyan remained as usual. She only smiled freely and said, “Actually, I used to have such thoughts. Even now, I still want to be the emperor. However, the relationship between us father and daughter has lasted for more than 30 years. Now that Royal Father is seriously ill, I feel that it doesn’t matter who becomes the emperor.
Anyway, the foundation that Royal Father built is still guarded by the ancestors, so there shouldn’t be any big problems. I only want to accompany my Royal Father for a few more days. As for the throne, perhaps it’s not something a woman like me should fight for!”
Emperor Chu closed his eyes and waved his hand. Xiang Feiyan bowed and left.
“It seems that Yan’er really cares about me.” After a while, Emperor Chu sighed.
After Xiang Feiyan left the palace and returned home, she immediately went to see Su Wen.
She said excitedly, “It’s as you expected! Father asked me if I want to be the emperor!”
When Su Wen heard this, he smiled and said, “There’s no hurry, no hurry. I’m afraid that your Crown Prince brother has already started to think about how to deal with the other princes. Let’s just watch them fight!”
Xiang Feiyan glanced at Su Wen from the corner of her eye and smiled. “I think the dishes these past two days have been a little bland. What do you think?”
A woman at 30 was like a wolf, 40 was like a tiger, and one at 50 could probably suck up the soil below her if she sat down.
This Xiang Feiyan was currently at the age between a tiger and wolf, and she had been suppressed for many years. Once its nature was released…
Su Wen sneered. “When have you not begged for mercy? My name is not called so for nothing!”
“Big… and strong! I just want to let your fires burn a little more fiercely…”
Su Wen’s area could be considered akin to a beginner village, but at the border of Great Zhou…
At this moment, a huge battle was erupting!
Zhou Country tried to cross the Huai River and counterattack the Yan Country!
Wu Kunhu, Yan Ze, Yan Luoying, and Wu Lie were all involved in this war.
Yan Luoying led 3,000 troops to attack the left flank!
And this time, the vanguard was the Breaking Ranks division.
After a period of training, this Breaking Ranks faction had become Yan Luoying’s most important card!
They had to hold their ground after landing!
“Kill!”
Yan Luoying shouted in anger.
The Breaking Ranks army charged forward.
These 800 Breaking Ranks troops were now all martial artists at the Earth Rank.
They were all elites among elites. In reality, most of them were Star Rank martial artists before entering the camp.
However, with the daily augmentation of the Breaking Ranks formation, their strength had soared!
Yan Luoying herself had also broken through to the Earth Rank under the support of the Breaking Ranks formation and the Generals’ Qi Body Refining Technique!
Generally speaking, once a soldier broke to the Earth Rank, they would be able to firmly become an officer in the army.
However, none of these people were willing to leave the formation.
This was the benefit of being loyal. There was no need to worry about losing talent.
Yan Luoying’s opponent was Yan Country’s General Zheng Hu!
He led 8,000 soldiers and coldly watched Yan Luoying lead her army over.
“Haha! Your little scheme has long been seen through by General Lu! Die!”
In his opinion, he had the absolute advantage in this battle!
Eight thousand soldiers charged forward!
Seeing that both sides were nearing each other, suddenly, a loud roar erupted from the Breaking Ranks formation. “Breaking through the enemy! Death will be their only escape!”
Yan Luoying’s gaze was cold.
In cold weapons, morale was the priority!
If one side took the initiative to boost morale, they would be able to take the advantage.
She thus loudly proclaimed the motto of the Breaking Ranks formation.
All the members of her faction raised their shields and used the back of their sabers to hit the shields.
All the warriors, dressed in black robes and black armor, exuded a murderous aura at this moment!
“Break through the enemy! Death will be their only escape!”
The more they shouted, the colder their eyes became!
Disregarding everything!
So what if there were more enemies? So what if they had to die?
Kill first!
The two armies clashed!
In an instant, the 800 Breaking Ranks soldiers erupted with extremely powerful combat strength. All ordinary soldiers were practically crushed!
Zheng Hu’s eyes widened!
He couldn’t help but shout, “How is that possible?”
That’s right! How was that possible! A foot soldier at Earth Rank had actually appeared?!
Moreover, these people were not afraid of death!
If a person did not care about their life, then their combat strength would increase by more than one level.
The Breaking Ranks team charged forward crazily. In just an instant, a hole was torn open in the enemy’s formation!
At this moment, Yan Luoying commanded the other soldiers to attack!
A small defeat would snowball to become a rout!
The Yan Army, who had been crazily slaughtered, soon could not hold on any longer!
They retreated in defeat in an instant!
After that, something even more unexpected happened.
With the Breaking Ranks team as the spearhead, Yan Luoying attacked bravely in one go. She defeated seven generals in a row and broke through the enemy’s seven formations!
She had killed tens of thousands of enemies and achieved countless merits.
In just a day, the name of the Breaking Ranks division spread throughout the two armies.
On the second day of the battle, Yan Luoying once again destroyed the Yan Country’s Frenzied Battle camp with the help of the Breaking Ranks camp. The same elite army type with 2,000 people was crushed by the 800 from the Breaking Ranks formation!
On the third day of the battle, Zhou Country stood on complete firm ground!
At this point, Lu Zhen counterattacked.
Yan Luoying’s left flank was attacked by 20,000 enemy troops. They relied on the fact that she had fallen into the enemy’s side to suppress them. In a short period of time, more than half of the Breaking Ranks camp was killed!
However, no one retreated, no one escaped!
The corpses of those who had fallen had no wounds on their backs!
After repeated battles, the name of Breaking Ranks became a place that everyone in the Zhou Country’s army yearned for!
In the commander’s tent, Wu Kunhu rubbed his forehead!
He had already received more than one request to be transferred to the Breaking Ranks division.
This was how the martial artists in the army were like. Everyone yearned to kill their enemies and make contributions. Everyone hoped to enter the ace troops.
Who was willing to be in a slipshod division?
However, from Wu Kunhu’s point of view, it was impossible for anyone to go just because they wanted to.
“I didn’t expect your daughter’s military training skills to be above yours! If you had such soldiers, you might have been able to defend Fort Boulder.” Wu Kunhu looked at Yan Ze and mocked.
Yan Ze sneered. “Even if I defended back then, there wouldn’t be any reinforcements because His Majesty doesn’t believe that I can defend at all!”
Wu Kunhu was silent for a moment before saying, “One cannot be willful in a country war.”
“Hmph!” Yan Ze didn’t say anything else. Instead, he said smugly, “This daughter of mine has inherited my teachings. She’s much stronger than your son!”
Wu Kunhu’s expression darkened!
Speaking of this war, Wu Lie’s performance was definitely not as good as Yan Luoying’s. The main thing was that the Breaking Ranks division was simply too fierce!
One had to know that when Yan Luoying formed the Breaking Ranks camp, it was only composed of ordinary soldiers. How did she become like this?
Even Wu Kunhu had to admit that Yan Luoying’s training method was indeed impressive!
As they were talking, Yan Luoying entered and said, “Commander-in-chief, why did you call me here?”
Wu Kunhu said, “You’ve contributed quite a bit this time. My intention is to expand the size of the fallen camp! I’ll allow you to select elites from the army and expand the fallen camp to 3,000! Then, I’ll transfer 7,000 soldiers as reserves. The entire division will be handed over to you to command as you wish!”
To his surprise, Yan Luoying shook her head. “There can only be 800 people in the Breaking Ranks division!”
Wu Kunhu frowned and said, “Why?”
Yan Luoying explained, “This Breaking Ranks formation was something my husband, Su Wen, passed to me. In my military formation, it has a limit of 800 people. Even if the Commander-in-chief allows me to expand the army, I can’t let more people have the combat power granted by the Breaking Ranks Army Formation.”
Hearing this, Wu Kunhu understood. So this was an Army Formation with daily buff effects! No wonder it was so fierce!
It had to be known that most Army Formations did not have the ability to buff people daily.
Wu Kunhu looked at Yan Ze with a cold smile. “So this is your true inheritance?”
Yan Ze’s face turned red as he flew into a rage out of humiliation. “So what? Luoying didn’t learn this battle formation command from me, right? If you want to blame someone, blame me for having a good son-in-law. If you have the ability, get your daughter to find a husband who can give her an Army Formation as well!”
At the mention of this matter, Wu Kunhu flew into a rage! Wu Muyu had caused a lot of trouble for him because of this matter!
“Hmph! Your son-in-law is still in prison!”
Yan Ze was not afraid of him and immediately retorted, “So what? Three years later, he’ll be a good man again! No, it’s two and a half years. Perhaps my son-in-law will comprehend another Army Formation and can even pass it to me. Won’t you be angry then?”
Yan Luoying shook her head helplessly as she watched the two of them bicker.
She could not help but have her thoughts wander away.
“I wonder how my husband is doing in Great Chu. Will he bring back more sisters when he comes back…”
…
In the Flame God Sect, Wu Yuehan was checking her pulse.
She had a worried expression.
She did not get pregnant!
Wasn’t this a huge loss on her end?
