The Slender Waist-Chapter 186 - 133: Meeting in Bingzhou_3

But why did he look less than pleased to see her?

Feng Yun didn’t know what else to say, she simply stated:

"General, go on with your urgent matters, you don’t need to mind me. When you have time, I can tell you in detail... about how I kidnapped the Princess of Qi Country."

Pei Jue paused slightly.

Not very surprised, his emotions remained as stable as ever.

It was as if, for him, Feng Yun stirring up the heavens was not an oddity at all.

Feng Yun felt unnerved by his gaze and asked, "Aren’t you happy I came, General?"

Pei Jue quietly looked at her and suddenly embraced her in his arms, his hands gripping her waist as he lifted her off the ground and strode inside. Feng Yun pushed him away, but he was as hard as stone and she couldn’t muster the strength; her long legs lifted and helplessly hung at his waist.

"What are you doing?"

Pei Jue said nothing as he sat her down on the desk, allowing Feng Yun to finally look him in the eye.

"I didn’t go to the Qi Army camp to kidnap Xiao Rong; I just happened to meet her on the road..."

Feng Yun’s heart fluttered under his gaze, feeling the need to explain.

But the man didn’t wait for her to finish speaking, he embraced her tightly within his arms. The force was so great that, had she been any more frail, she could have been crushed to death...

Good heavens! Feng Yun took a helpless, deep breath.

"Stop this, there are people outside."

But was he ever afraid of people being around, whether outside or inside?

Feng Yun felt she had spoken in vain.

Pei Jue was silent, his embrace so tight it seemed he might suffocate her. His strong heartbeat, wild and fierce, pounded in her ears like fireworks exploding in her brain...

It was a familiar feeling.

So familiar that her soul trembled.

Feng Yun’s breathing became uneven, "Isn’t maintaining the morale of the troops what you fear most, General? With formidable enemies before us, war is the priority..."

Pei Jue grunted, a low and icy sound void of emotion. His towering body almost eclipsed the light in her eyes, those eyes strong and possessive with a wild nature.

He was so tall that if it weren’t for his breathing and racing heartbeat, Feng Yun would think she had been abducted by a crude log.

That would suspend her and torment her.

Feng Yun couldn’t push him away, so she bent her knees as if to kick him...

The log finally reacted, snatching her foot and seamlessly pulling it onto his arm, then lowering his head to ask:

"Why have you come, my lady?"

If she had known that kicking him would make him speak, Feng Yun would have kicked him to death in her past life and not waited until now.

She suppressed the turmoil in her heart, trying to keep calm.

"As I said before, upon hearing that Bingzhou was under siege..."

Pei Jue said again, "I am asking, why did you come?"

Feng Yun said, "With Bingzhou under siege and Han Chuhu along with the other two generals turning traitors, your situation is fraught with danger..."

Pei Jue, "But why did you feel the need to come?"

Upon asking for the third time, his tone was heavier, austere and serious. His voice vibrated in his chest, causing shivers to run down Feng Yun’s scalp.

She hesitated, "If the General is in danger, should I not come?"

Pei Jue suddenly tightened his arms around her, leaning in to claim her lips in a reckless and imperious manner, brazenly entangling with her.

Feng Yun’s heart swirled with disbelief as she looked at the unshaven man. Just as she was about to speak, he took the opportunity to invade her mouth, the grinding pressure like a wild beast breaking out of its cage, frantically stealing the precious air from her...

Feng Yun’s mind went blank, her hands lifted from the desk to wrap around his neck, leaning her body into his embrace, her legs entwined around his waist like creeping vines...

All this came from habit, as if her body held this memory innately.

Pei Jue’s breathing was heavy, his impatience palpable as he gripped her slender waist as though wanting to meld her into his embrace. The discomfort from the harsh rubbing of his armor caused Feng Yun to frown and let out a soft groan, pinching the back of his hand hard.

Caught off guard by the pain, Pei Jue groaned a muffled sound, husky with desire, but he quickly released her, adjusting his breathing.

"You should not have come."

"Why?" Feng Yun asked.

"Whoo..."

The sound of the horn came from the city gate.

Both of them heard it.

After exchanging a glance, Pei Jue bowed slightly and stared into her eyes as if lifting a sandbag, he lifted her up and placed her on the couch in the inner chamber, seating her properly.

"Rest here, wait for my return."

His eyes were fiercely harsh, seeming both angry and unsatisfied; Feng Yun couldn’t see through him.

Was it because she had come to Bingzhou that he was angry...

Or was it that he was somewhat pleased by her presence in Bingzhou?

Feng Yun stared at him doubtfully, her eyes misty, causing Pei Jue some agitation and an increasing discomfort below his abdomen.

But he said no more, gave her a look, and then strode away.

Feng Yun stood bewildered for a moment before suddenly taking steps to follow him.

"General!"

Pei Jue had just mounted his horse, his armor cold in the night wind, the lantern light softening his usually harsh features.

He tightened the reins and stood there, waiting for her to speak.

Ta Xue seemed very impatient with his master’s hesitation, shuffling its hooves and swinging its tail sharply, snorting at Feng Yun.

Feng Yun’s heart tightened, "Take care."

She looked up at him, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, her eyes bright with a smile, her lips moist and inviting from a recent kiss, exuding an indescribable charm in the halo of the night lantern, possessing a soft beauty that tempted one to fall.

In that moment, Pei Jue somewhat understood why King You played the beacon fires for the lords, why King Zhou was led astray by Daji...

"Good," his voice was hoarse and dry.

Seeing him about to depart, Feng Yun took a few more steps forward, "General."

Pei Jue turned his head, "Anything else?"

"Bend down."

Feng Yun stood under the horse looking at him.

Pei Jue was momentarily taken aback, his heartstrings trembling.

Feng Yun: "Hurry."

Pei Jue, with cool eyes and the cold light of his armor not yet faded, emotionless, yet unexpectedly, he bent down.

Feng Yun said: "Come down further, I can’t reach."

Pei Jue: "..."

Soldiers were seen walking to and fro not far away, glancing at them as though seeing yet not seeing.

Of course, no one would say anything, nor dare to...

"Hurry." Feng Yun’s urging carried a hint of imperiousness.

Pei Jue’s tall figure stubbornly remained on horseback, paused for a long moment without a word, then bent down, grasping her arm to lift her slightly. Feng Yun took the chance to stand on her tiptoes, watching the people around them with her eyes...

And then, she quickly pecked at the corner of his lips.

"General, return safely."

Pei Jue’s eyes fixed on her with that familiar intensity, as though he wanted to see right through her.

"Wait for me."

He ruffled her hair with his large hand, then let go, straightening his posture as if nothing had happened, turned his horse, and rode away, disappearing from view in the blink of an eye.

Feng Yun smiled faintly.

A warrior’s tender feelings truly disrupted one’s composure.

But at this moment, she was actually very clear-headed. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

All she wanted was for Pei Jue to live...
