Marrying a Disabled General and be His Wife

When Feng Chilie finished his words, the only sound left in the courtroom was the sound of breathing one after another.

Zou Ge was an old ancient veteran. He had gone through countless storms in his life, and he was the first to recover from the shock.

“Your Majesty,” said Zou Ge: “Now that this matter has been revealed, we must make complete preparations. Before Qi Kingdom learns about this matter, we must immediately write a letter to truthfully inform the Fifth Highness’s injury. When necessary, the general’s rescue efforts can be exaggerated.”

Chu Minghan knew the importance of this approach: “The matter of drafting the letter will be left to you, but Qi Kingdom still has to be watched carefully, we must deploy troops at Hangu Pass just in case, but this candidate -”

Chu Minghan glanced at Feng Chilie who was sitting in a wheelchair and asked: “Do you have any recommendations for the candidate to suppress the pass?”

If Feng Chilie’s leg was not broken, and he was definitely the best candidate, but now…

“Father,” Chu Yiling, the third prince among the courtiers, stood up and said, “Feng Libai, the second son of Old General Feng, is now eighteen years old, and it’s time to practice.”

“Third brother, do you really think that everyone is Feng Chilie?” Chu Yiheng, the fifth prince objected on the spot: “You dare to let him go to the battlefield with no experience. Do you want Jing Kingdom to lose the thirty-six cities that we just got and haven’t covered our hands with?”

Feng Chilie would indeed not have another successor. He became famous in ten years. Front left and right no one could replace his fame.

Back then, Old General Feng and Tuo Balan were having a feud, which ended with Feng Chengjian having a stroke. But not long after it subsided, Xi Bo was ready to make a move.

A year later, Xibo was hit by a locust plague again. There was almost no harvest, and people would definitely starve to death in the winter.

At this time, Xibo felt that Feng Chengjian had fallen and Jing’s city walls must be easily broken. They might as well take this opportunity to directly attack Jing Kingdom.

In this way, they no longer have to worry about locust plagues, droughts or floods in the future. Because Jing Kingdom had granaries to deal with various crises.

At that time, the Jing Kingdom was far less powerful than was is now. The old general who was regarded as the backbone of the Jing Kingdom fell, and the new general was not favored by others. The entire Jing Kingdom seemed to be in danger.

Xibo invaded, and Feng Chilie, who was only sixteen years old, had to take over the task at the critical moment. He was still immature at that time, and his whole body was filled with the passion that only belongs to young people.

Being hot-blooded does not mean being lustful.

The people in the Jing country were panicked, and some ministers even began to secretly move their families.

But who would have expected that Feng Chilie, who had no battlefield experience, actually won the battle and became famous in one fell swope!

It was said that that year, he held the Soul Locking Sword and rode a fierce horse through the fighting crowd. Wherever the horse’s hooves passed, there were countless corpses.

He kept running on horseback, seemingly unaware of fatigue, and reached a place fifty meters away from the enemy general. Feng Chilie suddenly raised his spear, waved his arm, and threw the spear in his hand.

That shot was precise and penetrated the enemy general’s chest fiercely, nailing him to the wooden board of the cart.

How much strength does it take to nail someone through??

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Feng Chilie jumped up, using the strength of the horse’s back and people’s heads, and flew up to stand on the chariot. He pulled out the spear and held it in his hand, looking at all the stunned soldiers.

The somewhat torn red cloak was blown up, announcing to everyone that the victory of this war belonged to the Jing Kingdom.

After this battle, Feng Chilie also rectified his name.

No matter if he had no battlefield experience, no matter how young he was, he could still kill the enemy general among thousands of troops.

The Wolf Eagle Cavalry was still the same iron-like army. Even if a young general took over, it could still be invincible.

But there was only one Feng Chilie, and his experience was also unique.

Feng Chilie was thrown into the military camp by Feng Chengjian since he was a child, while Feng Libai grew up being pampered, and everything was taught to him by Tuoba Lan.

Rather than saying that Feng Libai was from the Jing Kingdom, it was better to say that he was more like a Xibo person, whether it was his living habits or the martial arts he had learned.

But –

Chu Yiling said with a smile: “Fifth brother, although the second young master Feng is not Feng Chilie, don’t forget that his mother is the biological sister of the Khan of the Xibo tribe and she was the former great treasure of Xibo Tribe. She is the one who accompanied Old General Feng to establish the Wolf Eagle Cavalry.”

But ‘great treasure’, in Chinese also means gatekeeper, and the gatekeeper of Jing Kingdom and Xibo Tribe was their old general’s wife.

So –

Chu Yiling looked at Chu Minghan: “Father, let the second young master Feng guard the pass without causing any harm!”

After silent consideration, Zou Ge said: “Your Majesty, I agree with His Highness’s proposal.”

“Second Young Master Feng has his mother’s guidance behind his back. Even if there is a fight, we are not necessarily at a disadvantage.” Zou Ge said bluntly without giving anyone a chance to object.

“Although Madam is from Xibo and does not care about Jing Kingdom. But if Madam gives trouble to Qi Kingdom and leads Qi Kingdom’s troops to suppress our country, who can guarantee that Xibo will not take a piece of the pie?” someone chimed in.

“The people of Qi are suspicious by nature. How could they leave enemy generals behind when they enter our territory of Jing Kingdom? They will definitely find a way to get rid of the second young master. Madam loves the second young master so much, and she will definitely not bet with his life.”

Zou Ge was dedicated to the Jing Kingdom. Even if his words offended Feng Chilie, he must say: “Your Majesty, the Second Young Master Feng is indeed an excellent candidate for guarding the gate!”

Chu Minghan frowned, still not convinced, “But we can’t guarantee whether Tuoba Lan will secretly communicate with Xibo and pretend to help Jing Kingdom win. Afterwards, Xibo will take advantage of Jing Kingdom’s weakness to lead troops inside.”

“Your Majesty, mother will not do it.” Feng Chilie secretly glanced at Chu Yiling.

Chu Yiling made a good move. Taking advantage of his “inconvenience in movement”, he let Feng Libai naturally took over the Wolf Eagle Cavalry, and then pulled Feng Libai into his camp.

In this way, Chu Yiling had two forces, Wolf Eagle Cavalry and Xibo, supporting him.

Because after winning over Feng Libai, it was impossible for Chu Yiling to ignore Tuoba Lan’s feelings. Similarly, it was impossible to ignore Xibo. He would definitely find a way to stabilize Xibo through Tuoba Lan.

Feng Chilie sneered in his heart and continued: “The Xibo people are also suspicious by nature. After they take over the Jing Kingdom, even if they save my little brother’s life, they will definitely not give him a chance to be promoted. Before my mother came here, she was Xibo’s sweetheart and a strong-willed person. She would never want to see my little brother doing nothing in his life.”

“As for me, forget it,” Feng Chilie sighed when he mentioned himself: “I haven’t been around since I was a child. I was thrown into the military camp since young, I was not close to my mother. Later, I killed so many Xibo people on the battlefield. Even if my mother wanted to, she couldn’t like me. The Xibo people had long wanted to cut me into pieces. She can lose one son, but not two. So, no matter how you look at this matter, mother will try her best to help my little brother, and she will definitely not give Xi Bo a chance to attack Jing Kingdom.” Feng Chilie said.

“I am also willing to temporarily hand over the Wolf Eagle Cavalry to my little brother and let him protect the Jing Kingdom on my behalf.”

Zou Ge bowed to Feng Chilie and said, “General is very loyal!”

He originally thought that Feng Chilie wouldn’t be loyal to him. He was dissatisfied with this matter, but he did not expect that Feng Chilie would take the initiative to hand over the Wolf Eagle Cavalry to Feng Libai. Even if it was temporary, it would be enough to prove his loyalty to the Jing Kingdom.

Feng Chilie smiled and said nothing, sat in a wheelchair and returned the salute, and then said: “Your Majesty, I have a heartfelt request.”

“You say it.” Chu Minghan said.

Feng Chilie glanced at Ji Bei behind him and said, “My little brother has never had much contact with the Wolf Eagle Cavalry, and my mother has been away for a long time. I want Ji Bei to go with him so that he can give more help with Wolf Eagle Cavalry.”

“Yes!” Chu Minghan readily agreed: “This time, Feng Libai will be granted the title of General of the Pass, and Ji Bei will be appointed as the Deputy General of the Pass!”

Ji Bei immediately knelt down to receive the order, and Feng Chilie blatantly gave Chu Yiling a provocative look.

‘Don’t even think about plotting against Feng Chilie!’

Chu Yiling lowered his head, with a sinister look in his eyes. He originally thought that he could take this opportunity to take the Wolf Eagle Cavalry away from Feng Chilie. Otherwise, he would weaken Feng Chilie’s military power.

Who would have thought that he would went against the entire army?

Not only Feng Chilie showing his profound understanding of justice but also firmly holding the control of the Wolf Eagle Cavalry in his own hands.

Moreover, Jiang Che, the deputy commander of the Wolf Eagle Cavalry, was also loyal to Feng Chilie.

With Jiang Che and Ji Bei in charge at the same time, how could Feng Libai disintegrate the Wolf Eagle Cavalry? He couldn’t even make small moves and could only guard the gates honestly.

This was bad.

Chu Yiling thought.

After the court came down, Feng Chilie did not leave immediately. Instead, he waited outside the palace gate, waiting for Chu Yiling, who had gone out late.

When he saw the person coming out, Feng Chilie asked Ji Bei to stay put and he rolled the wheelchair over.

“Your Highness, is so clever.” Feng Chilie patted the snow on his hands and said, “You can actually connect with your mother and brother behind my back.”

Chu Yiling hated his arrogant look. He retorted: “If you want to blame it, blame it on the general himself for not caring enough about his family. Also, general, don’t think that you can really sit in the position of commander of the Wolf and Eagle Cavalry forever, and don’t think that you will always be the one who is worth thousands above all men, who knows if you can stand up again. Farewell!”

Feng Chilie’s eyes dimmed.

It was obvious that there was something in Chu Yiling’s words. After the people left, he immediately returned to the general’s mansion.

.

Back in the house, Feng Chilie directly asked Ji Bei to push him back to the dormitory, while Ji Bei stood guard outside the door.

Tan Chuyan, who was lying on the bed, was still unconscious. His lips were a little dry. Uncle Fu was using cotton dipped in water to moisten his lips.

Feng Chilie took the thing from Uncle Fu’s hand: “I’ll do it.”

“General,” Uncle Fu stood beside him: “Is everything going well?”

“Uncle Fu, don’t worry about me. I’m getting better.” Feng Chilie looked at Tan Chuyan and asked worriedly: “How is he?”

Uncle Fu shook his head: “Not too optimistic. I only gave in a little medicine. If it keeps like this, he will die in three days.”

Feng Chilie frowned: “I’ll do the feeding; I have a way.”

Uncle Fu didn’t know what method Feng Chilie used to feed the medicine, but he said that if there was a way, there must be a way.

Seeing that Tan Chuyan’s lips were moistened a little, Feng Chilie put the things in his hands on the table and said, “Uncle Fu, has the medicine you mixed for me been cooked?”

Feng Chilie broke his leg in order to be more realistic, he asked Uncle Fu to specially mix the medicine for him, and he drank it every day in front of his servants.

Uncle Fu said, “It’s almost done. Fu’an will bring it soon.”

There were no maids in Feng Chilie’s yard, they were all servants with the character “福 (blessing)” in their names.

After a while, Fu’an came over with the medicine. Feng Chilie drank it all in one gulp. He drank it too quickly and some of it spilled. He took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped his mouth, then quietly put the handkerchief away.

After Fu’an retreated, Feng Chilie handed the handkerchief to Uncle Fu: “Uncle Fu, please see if there is anything in this medicine that shouldn’t be present.”

Uncle Fu opened his eyes wide: “The general thinks–”

“Shh!” Feng Chilie made a silent gesture.

Uncle Fu did as he was told, smelled the medicine-stained handkerchief, and his expression suddenly froze.

Feng Chilie asked: “What’s in it?”

“There’s water chestnuts here. This medicine is not good for the recovery of muscles and bones.” Uncle Fu said, “I will take people to arrest Fu’an and interrogate the mastermind!”

“No, don’t scare the snake, just pretend that nothing happened.” Feng Chilie sat on the edge of the bed, helped Tan Chuyan up, let him lean on his arms, and prepared to apply medicine to the small wounds on his body: “I want to look who ate the heart of a bear and have the courage of a leopard, to actually wanted to harm me.”

Seeing Feng Chilie about to change Tan Chuyan’s dressing, Uncle Fu stepped back with a wink.

After retreating to the door, Feng Chilie called him, looked at the almost lifeless man in his arms, and said: “Uncle Fu, no one is allowed to touch Tan Chuyan’s medicine. It can only pass through your hands.”

“Yes.” Uncle Fu glanced at Tan Chuyan. After all, Feng Chilie had never been so interested in anyone.

Uncle Fu went out, and only Feng Chilie and Tan Chuyan were left in the room.

Feng Chilie traced the outline of Tan Chuyan’s pale face with his fingers and said softly: “Tan Chuyan, why do you know the swordsmanship of my Feng family? Who taught you, huh?”

No one answered him, only weakly heartbeat.
