"Xiao Wu, in a few days, we'll be going back.”Long Qingying said to Huo Wu in a gentle voice.
"Qingying, I don't want to go back. Can you leave me here?”Fire Dance said softly as she looked at the plains outside the city walls.
"Why are you doing this? After the pain, we still have to live, don't we?”Long Qingying sighed.
"I know." Huo Wu lowered her head.
"Xiao Wu, I need your help.”Long Qingying held her shoulder. This time, the Clear Shadow Legion had suffered heavy casualties, and the rebuilding work was very arduous.
"Alright." Huo Wu nodded woodenly.
In the evening, the army that had finally been reorganized went on a post-war celebration and prepared to return to Wind Capital.
At this moment, Huang Ming was the happiest person in the hall. He and Long Qingying were sitting in the front, and the other generals were sitting down in turn.
After drinking too much, the men started to act presumptuously. In the end, Long Qingying only greeted them and left the room.
Seeing Long Qingying leave, Huang Ming was a bit disappointed, but Zheng Guang came to him with a glass of wine.
"Your Highness, look over there." Zheng Guang gestured to the front.
Huang Ming looked over and saw a beautiful female officer drinking alone. It was Huo Wu.
Seeing that Long Qingying wasn't there, Huang Ming became a little drunk. He had been in the military camp for so many days, so he couldn't stand it anymore.
"Miss, may I have the honor?" Huang Ming held a wine glass and walked up to Huo Wu.
Huo Wu did not raise her head. The members of the Clear Shadow Legion all knew Huo Wu's temper, so those who were not familiar with her rarely harassed her. However, there were countless people from the Central Army here.
Seeing Fire Dance's reaction, Huang Ming's expression changed slightly, but it quickly returned to a smile.
"What, Daren is not willing to give this king face?”
Only then did Huo Wu raise her head. When she saw that it was Huang Ming, she still did not speak. She only raised her wine glass and gestured for him to drink.
Huang Ming was stunned, but he quickly reacted and drank a cup as well. Just like that, Huang Ming took the opportunity to sit down beside her. As long as Huang Ming spoke, Huo Wu would drink, causing Huang Ming to have no choice but to follow suit.
In the distance, two pairs of eyes were staring intently at this place. There was an irresolvable hatred in their eyes.
The party lasted until midnight before the soldiers dispersed. Huo Wu staggered back to her tent.
Huang Ming reluctantly watched Huo Wu's receding figure as he drank his last cup of wine.
"Your Highness, may I have the honor of toasting you?”A small officer walked over.
Huang Ming, who was in a bad mood, ignored them. Just like Huo Wu, ordinary soldiers could also meet officers on equal footing at this banquet. Although only a small portion of them had connections, this made Huang Ming extremely annoyed.
"Your Highness, this soldier has a bright future.”Zheng Guang came to Huang Ming's side again. It seemed like he was the one who recommended him.
Only then did Huang Ming raise his head. Zheng Guang was his trusted aide. Since he could recommend him, it meant that he was useful. He looked at the person in front of him. Judging from his military rank, he was probably a captain and a member of the Clear Shadow Legion.
"What's your name?" Huang Ming shifted his gaze again.
"Senjie, the captain of the Clear Shadow Legion.”Senjie stood up straight.
"Why do you want to see me?" Huang Ming was a little surprised. Very few soldiers from the Clear Shadow Legion came to find him.
"This humble servant was fortunate enough to see Your Highness's majestic appearance on the battlefield, so I took this opportunity to finally get close to Your Highness 'dragon body.”Sen Jie said respectfully.
"Haha, that's easy. I'll still have to rely on you guys on the battlefield.”Huang Ming realized that although this person looked unruly, he was very good at talking.
"Your Highness, he was brought up by Huo Wu in the past.”Zheng Guang whispered.
Hearing this, Huang Ming glanced at Sen Jie." Do your best in the future.”
"Yes, sir!" Sen Jie said respectfully. However, when he lowered his head, a cold smile flashed across his face.
Huo Wu returned to the tent and vomited. After she vomited, she fell to the ground weakly.
"Feng Xingtian, you bastard! You said you would come back and marry me! You lied to me!……”Huo Wu lay on the ground, talking non-stop.
" Feng Xingtian, come back. Wu 'er misses you so much…I beg you…" As she spoke, tears kept flowing out.
"Sir, you are drunk."
A voice rang out. Huo Wu opened her eyes and saw a blurry figure.
"Sir, I'm Senjie!" The voice was getting closer and closer. It was Senjie.
"You? Senjie…Oh, I remember now. You've been doing well recently!”Huo Wu stood up with difficulty and pointed at Sen Jie.
"Yes, it's all thanks to Sir's good guidance.”Jason said, stepping forward to support Fire Dance.
"Let go. Why? Are you trying to take advantage of me?”Huo Wu smiled as she pushed Sen Jie away.
"How can that be, my lord?" Sen Jie's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect Fire Dance to still be drunk.
"Get out." Just as Sen Jie was about to take another step forward, Fire Dance suddenly said coldly.
" Sir…" Sen Jie laughed sinisterly, but his hands behind his back were ready.
"Report!"
Just as Sen Jie was about to attack Fire Dance when she was unprepared, a loud shout came from outside, scaring Sen Jie so much that he hurriedly stopped.
"Come in." Huo Wu was already lying on the bed.
The strange thing was that no one came in. After thinking for a while, Senjie finally felt that something was wrong.
"Milord, rest well. This subordinate will take his leave first.”Sen Jie slowly walked out, but there was no one outside. He hesitated for a moment before walking back.
Huo Wu had already fallen into a deep sleep in the room. After a while, a vigorous figure flashed in and silently sat by the bed.
"Silly girl, you still like to drink so much. You've forgotten who you are after drinking.”That figure lovingly stroked Huo Wu's hair. I said I'll marry you when I come back, but I can't do it now. As for the future, it's up to the damn heavens. Baby, forgive me. Wait for another month, and everything will come to an end. Sleep well, and I will let you sleep peacefully forever…Senjie, you have a bright future ahead of you.”
The figure lowered his head and kissed Huo Wu's forehead before flashing away.
After Long Qingying went back, she figured that the party was about to end, so she sent a maid to take care of Huo Wu. She knew that Huo Wu would get drunk. Just as she was about to wash up and get ready to sleep, she noticed that something was wrong around her.
"Come out." Long Qingying tidied her bra and said blandly,"
In an instant, a tall figure flashed down from the roof. It was Feng Xingtian.
"It's you?" Even Long Qingying, who was always calm, couldn't help but cry out when she saw Feng Xingtian.
"Why can't it be me?" Feng Xingtian found a chair and sat down with a smile. He was dressed in black.
"You sure are lucky." Long Qingying smiled at first, but then her face turned cold." Do you know what crime it is to break into the Commander-in-chief's tent?”
"First of all, you were the one who let me in.”A genius like Feng Xing would not be easily frightened.
"Ai, why don't you go see Xiao Wu?”Long Qingying sighed, knowing that she couldn't scare him.
"Yes, she's asleep."
"Then why are you looking for me?" Long Qingying found that Feng Xingtian's power seemed to have improved.
"Of course I miss you, hehe!" Feng Xingtian laughed.
"Be serious. Tell me, what was the information about that time? How did you come back alive? Who exactly are you?" Long Qingying cut to the chase.
"So you don't believe me?”Feng Xingtian shook his head and said seriously,""However, now is not the time to talk about this. Whether you believe me or not is your business. I came to see you because I want you to do me a favor.”
"Speak!" Long Qingying didn't ask further.
"I arrived here a few days ago. I think you know more about the outcome of this war than I do. I can't care about this. I can't see Wu 'er right now. Don't let her know that I'm still alive. Just wait for a month.”
"Give me a reason." Long Qingying sat on the bedside.
"This can't be explained. I can only trust you now.”
Feng Xingtian looked at Long Qingying with a serious look in his eyes, which made her heart tremble when Snowy begged him the other day.
" I only beg you to protect her well within this month. You must, you must not let that Crown Prince of yours hurt her in the slightest. Also, remind Wu 'er to pay attention to Sen Jie. I think the person you know is your Commander Wan's cold brother. After this month, if I don't appear…make her slowly forget about me and find a man she can rely on.”Feng Xingtian paused for a moment and said with some pain. However, this expression only flashed for a moment.
"Don't worry about that." Long Qingying looked at Feng Xingtian, but didn't have the courage to ask him for a reason.
"I should go. Thank you." Feng Xingtian stood up.
" You…" Long Qingying wanted to say something, but didn't.
"Oh, I forgot to say, you're really beautiful." Feng Xingtian walked to the door, then turned around and smiled as if he had remembered something. Before Long Qingying could say anything, he had already disappeared into the night.
The troops had already returned to the capital. Half a month later, except for the troops of Huang Ming and Long Qingying, the rest of the troops had all returned to the capital.
Long Qingying had been wondering what had happened since Feng Xingtian showed up. She paid special attention to Huang Ming, but found that he didn't do anything special to Huo Wu.
"Why have you been drinking so much these days?" Long Qingying didn't want to blame Huo Wu, but she had to say it.
"I won't drink it in the future." Fire Dance replied.
"You'd better sleep with me!" Long Qingying found that this was the safest way.
"It's not good to keep doing this.”"Qingying, I'm fine." Huo Wu smiled.”
"You!" Long Qingying didn't say anything.
This continued all the way to the capital.
The welcoming crowd extended from the city to the outside of the city. People from all over Feng Du walked out of their homes to welcome their hero.
Long Qingying and Huang Ming, who were walking in front of the group, greeted the crowd. Huang Ming was so excited that his image changed a lot.
The return of victory made the people half laugh and half cry. Almost half of the casualties could only be considered a tragic victory, but the crisis was finally resolved.
"Haha, Qing Ying, I believe that you will win!”Huang Wuji led all the ministers to welcome them.
"With His Majesty's Dragon Might and His Highness the Crown Prince overseeing, we will naturally win.”Long Qingying smiled and saw Huang Yu nodding at her.
"As long as he doesn't cause you any trouble.”Huang Wuji laughed. He was extremely happy. This time, he had completely achieved his goal.
At night, the Imperial Capital held a celebratory ball. The Empire had given three days off to celebrate.
Long Qingying was used to such a scene. For some reason, she was still thinking about Feng Xingtian at the ball.
Qingying, thank you so much." Long Qingying's dance partner was Huang Yu.
"What's there to thank? This is Qingying's responsibility.”Long Qingying didn't look happy either.
"I really envy Imperial Brother!" Huang Yu closed his eyes.
" Your Highness..." Long Qingying was also surprised by Huang Yu's confession.
"Hehe, alright, I won't talk about it anymore. Qingying, it's good that you understand.”This was the power of Huang Yu.
Long Qingying didn't say anything else. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the rare sense of relaxation.
Late at night, Long Qingying declined Huang Yu's offer to see her off. She went back to her mansion and rested for a while. Suddenly, someone asked to see her.
Long Qingying wondered why someone was still in such a hurry to see her at this hour. Although she found it strange, she still decided to see who it was.
When she tidied herself up and went to the outer hall, she found a beautiful lady standing in the room.
"Great General, I'm really sorry to disturb you so late at night.”The noble madam said politely.
Long Qingying took a closer look and found that it was Meng Xianrou, the wife of Lin Qi, the director of the tax department of the Imperium.
"So it's Madam Lin. How could that be? I just don't know why you're looking for Qingying so late at night.”Long Qingying asked her to sit down.
" General, I'm sorry to trouble you, but…" Meng Xianrou hesitated.
"Sister Meng, don't be so formal. As long as Qingying can help, he will do it for you.”It was also one of Long Qingying's tactics that allowed her to be a fish in the water in politics. She knew that if she could win over these ladies who usually didn't show their faces in public, she would win over half of their husbands. Therefore, Long Qingying had a good relationship with many ladies in the upper-class society.
"Since Great General has said so, I won't stand on ceremony.”Meng Xianrou's heart warmed. She mustered up her courage and said with great difficulty,""I have a younger brother. I lost contact with him many years ago. When I was on the expedition, I accidentally saw someone who looked very much like him in the team. So, I would like to trouble the general to check if this person is there and see if he…he has returned…"
" I know that the general is busy every day, but in the military, I can only ask the general for help..." Meng Xianrou's eyes reddened and she could not continue.
"Sister, you're treating me as an outsider. What's his name?”Long Qingying understood. It wasn't uncommon for such things to happen.
" His name is…Feng Tian 'er…" Meng Xianrou said this name with a trembling voice.
"Feng Tian 'er?" Feng Xingtian's name popped up in Long Qingying's mind, so she said," Alright, I'll help my sister find out as soon as possible. But I know a guy named Feng Xingtian."”
" I don't know either. He…he…" Meng Xianrou's delicate body trembled slightly, and her face was instantly filled with sorrow.
"Big sister Meng, he is about two meters tall, which is rare among humans.”Looking at Meng Xianrou's painful face, Long Qingying sighed with emotion.
"... Two meters..." Meng Xianrou's body swayed."... General... he... does he have signs of a hybrid..." Her trembling voice reflected the shock in her heart.
"Yes, he seems to be able to go berserk.”Seeing her expression, Long Qingying thought that it was almost the same. She didn't expect Feng Xingtian to have such a gentle and beautiful sister.
Meng Xianrou couldn't suppress her excitement." Qingying…he…he's back?"”
" Well..." Long Qingying didn't know what to say.
Seeing Long Qingying's face, Meng Xianrou's heart sank, and she sat on the ground as if she had lost her soul.
"Sister, don't be like this. I'll check for you tomorrow. There are many people with similar names!”Long Qingying comforted her.
"Thank you, General…I will take my leave first…"
After a long while, Meng Xianrou came back to her senses and smiled sadly. She staggered out of the room. Long Qingying hurriedly helped her out of the door and sent her to the carriage.?
"Sister, don't worry. Qingying will definitely help you find out.”Long Qingying comforted him for the last time.
