Chapter 190 -191 Is the General No Longer Cute?_1

Jin Feng felt the ropes around his body shatter under the force of Liu Fu’s inner strength, and for a moment, he couldn’t contain the excitement in his heart. He ran over to Liu Fu, exclaiming with excitement, “Liu Fu, your inner strength has improved again! Otherwise, throw another punch and see if you can bring down this prison!”

He had thought that Liu Fu would be eager to try, but at this moment, there wasn’t a trace of emotion on his face. The once innocent and confused eyes now bore an icy chill, and the gentle halo that used to soften his handsome features was replaced by a sharp, piercing aura.

Liu Fu’s eyes swept over Jin Feng with a detached gaze, his thin lips parted slightly, “You, do you take me for a monkey?”

Jin Feng was practically petrified on the spot. His emotions were complex. Had the general recovered? Was the general no longer endearing? Why did he feel like he had suffered a broken heart when the general turned so cold all of a sudden? Did he just make a fool of the general?!

Overwhelmed with excitement, Jin Feng dropped to one knee and bowed with a fist in hand, “General Yu!”

“Get up!”

The County Chief on the other side seemed unable to accept the sudden change in the situation. Stuttering in shock, he pointed at Yu Ze, struggling to find words, “You, you, you, who exactly are you!”

Yu Ze kicked him to the ground with one swift motion, and the Taishi Chair shattered into several pieces. Yu Ze looked down at him with cold eyes, “Scram!”

Now that Jin Feng saw Yu Ze had finally recovered, he became unreserved, threatening boldly, “The Marshal of the Nation stands here, and you, a petty official, dare to be insolent! Scram now!”

The County Chief was unsure about the truth, but the imposing presence was intimidating enough. Moreover, with such a high level of martial skills, a mere wave of that man’s hand could bring down the entire prison. How could he dare to act recklessly? He begged for mercy repeatedly.

Yu Ze paid him no attention and strode out of the prison. Jin Feng, recalling the urgent situation in the capital, handed the letter that he carried with him to Yu Ze, “General! The political struggle in the court has already reached a critical point. For some reason, the emperor’s health is increasingly worrisome. I suspect that Consort Yuan can’t contain her impatience any longer and wants to hasten the emperor’s death to push Prince San to the throne. The Crown Prince is isolated and weak, and no match at all! We can’t afford to delay any longer!”

Yu Ze unfolded the letter, and indeed, the situation was dire. When he had led his troops back to the capital, he had been ambushed on the road and had suspected that Consort Yuan was ready to reveal her ambition. He just didn’t expect her to act so quickly. If she really got her way, Prince San would inevitably become a puppet, and the true control over the empire would be in the hands of Prime Minister Kong, Consort Yuan’s family, and the forces of Qilian Kingdom behind him.

Yu Ze’s hand clenched into a fist within his sleeve. Power struggles for the throne were matters he never wished to get involved in. Whether Prince San or the Crown Prince became the emperor, he never saw any issue with it. However, Prime Minister Kong and Consort Yuan were covertly collaborating with Qilian Kingdom. If they succeeded, the Daqian Dynasty was destined to become a vassal to Qilian Kingdom! How would the people of the Daqian Dynasty fare amid such suffering?

“How much longer can the emperor hold on?”

“Imperial Physician Yang has sent word that he won’t survive the month.” Even if he rushed back now, it would take a month’s journey. Perhaps, by the time he reached there, the emperor would have passed away, and the situation would have been decided, making it difficult to reverse.

Yu Ze shredded the letter and said coldly, “Prepare a fast horse. I must return to the capital immediately!” No matter what, he could not waste a single moment of opportunity.

Jin Feng bowed, “Yes!”

But just as Jin Feng turned to leave, Yu Ze suddenly said, “Wait!”

“I’ll first make a trip back to Tupo Village. Muniang doesn’t know I’m out, and she’ll be worried,” the stern expression on Yu Ze’s face softened remarkably at the mention of Muniang.

Jin Feng couldn’t believe his eyes as he looked at Yu Ze. At such a critical juncture, the general still had the heart to ensure a woman’s safety?!

Yu Ze gave him a cold glance, “As for you, there’s no need to come back with me. Stay in Tupo Village to protect Muniang. I will return within two months.”

“Two months? It takes about two months just for the trip, doesn’t it?” The distance between the Capital City and Qinghua City was not simply far!

Yu Ze looked at him coldly, “I don’t like repeating myself.” He simply didn’t want her to wait too long, couldn’t bear to let her wait too long. Since he had said two months, he would surely return!

The once cold-hearted General had never shown such emotion towards a woman before. Yu Ze had thought that the General’s love for Muniang during his amnesia was limited to when his mind was unclear. But if that was really the case, what was the reason behind the General’s actions now?

Dawn was just breaking when Wu Haoli and Muniang raced to Jinyang County in a carriage overnight. Despite being a merchant, Wu Haoli was the richest man in the entire nation. Even in the Capital City, many officials and nobles sought to curry favor with him—who wouldn’t want wealth?

Liu Fu drove the carriage and upon reaching the government office, he said, “Master, Mrs. Qiao, we’ve arrived at the government office.”

Wu Haoli looked at the fatigued Muniang and suggested, “We’re here. Why don’t you rest in the carriage while I handle the matter?”

Muniang rubbed her eyes and shook her head, still a bit worried, “No need, I’m not that sleepy now. Let’s get off the carriage.”

Wu Haoli didn’t say much more; it was difficult for anyone to stop Muniang when she was stubborn.

The two of them lowered the curtains to step down from the carriage, but suddenly a fast horse dashed past, so quickly it nearly blinded them. Wu Haoli quickly guarded Muniang, who turned her back, unable to bear the dust kicked up by the horse’s hooves, and covered her face.

But in the instant she turned around, she froze. The person on the horse, wasn’t it Eryang? Her eyesight was better than most, and where ordinary people might not be able to see the rider due to the horse’s speed, she could clearly see his handsome profile, his sharp nose, and—his fierce gaze.

The embroidered handkerchief in Muniang’s hand suddenly dropped. Even if it was just the edge of his gaze, she could clearly feel the change in him. She had never seen him with such an indifferent look before, as cold as a millennia-old ice cave, chilling to the bone.

“Muniang? What’s the matter?” Wu Haoli obviously hadn’t seen the person clearly, but he noticed the sudden change in Muniang’s expression.

Muniang was about to speak when she heard the sudden sound of a horse neighing ahead. The man on the horse grabbed the reins and the horse reared high on its front hooves, startling everyone on the street, fearful of being trampled beneath the horse’s feet.

Yet the rider controlled the horse’s landing precisely and swiftly turned the animal around. He had seen her.

Muniang stared dumbfounded at the tall figure in front of her, feeling both unfamiliar and intimate. Her usually quick-reacting mind seemed to suddenly jam, unsure of what to do, and could only dumbly stare at him.

Yu Ze had already brought his horse to Muniang, but she didn’t react at all, so he stretched out his hand, resigned, “My Lady.”

Muniang snapped out of it and the first question she asked was, “I haven’t gone to save you yet. How did you get out?”
