Chapter 64 Wangfei eloped with a man (2)
Under the moonlight, Feng Cangs face was pale and looked haggard. Not waiting for the wangye to come out completely from Murong Qi Qis mouth, Feng Cang flew forward and took Murong Qi Qi into his embrace. His chin was on her black hair. He closed his eyes and sniffed the fragrance of her hair.
Wangye
Hush Qing Qing, let me hold you for a moment.
Feng Cangs strength was great as though he wanted to rub Murong Qi Qi into his bones. Only when the woman in his embrace was having difficulties breathing, did Feng Cang loosen his hands.
Sorry, I hurt you!
Feng Cang lifted the hair on Murong Qi Qis forehead and looked at her bright eyes. After a long time, he continued speaking: Qing Qing, whydidnt you go away with him?
He knew? He knew everything! Murong Qi Qi frowned. The sensitive Feng Cang was immediately aware of Murong Qi Qis thoughts.
Is Qing Qing worried that I will make things difficult for general Shangguan?
Wangye, Shangguan Wu Ji didnt do it on purpose.
In this regard, Murong Qi Qi could only explain it like this.
Is the one in Qing Qings heart him? Feng Cang continued to ask.
Ah?
Murong Qi Qi was startled. He actually suspected that she and Shangguan Wu Ji were having an affair? How can this be?! She sees Shangguan Wu Ji as only a good friend. What is this wangyes mind thinking? Can it be that between a man and a woman can only be love and not friendship?
Murong Qi Qis expression told Feng Cang her answer.
Hu, Feng Cang finally let out a sigh of relief. In her heart, theres no Shangguan Wu Ji. He still has a chance. His chase hasnt been in vain!
Thinking till here, Feng Cang once again took Murong Qi Qi into his embrace. His ten fingers were intertwined with Murong Qi Qis ten fingers.
Qing Qing, no matter what you did today and for whom you stayed; since you stayed, Ill take it as you are determined to be my, Feng Cang, woman! And I also will not let go of your hand. I wont give you the opportunity to regret!
Towards Feng Cangs declaration of possession, Murong Qi Qi was stupefied: Wangye, dont you already have a person in your heart?
Hearing Murong Qi Qis words, Feng Cang finally understood what she meant about support that night. So it turned out that she misunderstood him and thought he already had a person in his heart! This little woman, ah! Why is she so cute? Can it be that she doesnt know that in his heart only lives her?
Murong Qi Qis eye were somewhat dazed and clueless. In Feng Cangs eyes, they seemed very cute.
His little wangfei is actually so muddle-headed and doesnt understand the love between a man and a woman. Even more, she hasnt been touched or fell in love with someone. Thats why she is so confused like a small deer. Silly and nave. This demeanour is completely different from her cunning and calculating self. He really picked up a living treasure!
If its like this, presumably Murong Qi Qi wouldnt know about the matter of the hairpins on a turning adult ceremony! No wonder she accepted five hairpins at once, causing his jealousy to fly all over the sky and she didnt care. And also made him eat vinegar for a few days
So the truth is like this, ah! This little wangfei, ah! At the palace feast, she was so smart while making others miserable, so why is she like a baby in the matters of love? Really like unripe apples. Its the same as the scent from her body!
However, this is also fine. Since she is a rough jade that hasnt been carved, then he will be the craftsmen to carve the jade. Let her mind and body be branded with his name, so that she completely belongs to him!
Feng Cangs expression changed many times, making Murong Qi Qi wonder even more. Dont know what this wangye is thinking. So she simply lowered her head and became a small rabbit.
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi returned to her usual self, Feng Cang couldnt help himself from reaching out and squeezing her small nose.
Wangfei, lets go back!
Alright!
Although Feng Cang didnt use much strength, but Murong Qi Qi didnt like the feeling of being pulled by the nose. She felt the same as a small dog. No matter how, it doesnt feel right.
Hahaha!
Seeing the unhappy expression of Murong Qi Qi, Feng Cang laughed. She is real one time, fake another time. Real, real, fake fake. Fake fake, real, real as if her face has a thousand expressions. Seems like he really needs to spend a good deal of effort to learn more about Murong Qi Qi.
The two returned to the camp. The traces of blood have already been cleaned as if the attack didnt happen, as if the five hundred men never came. Everything was clean. Even the air felt fresh without any smells of blood.
This time, aside from the driver who had died, some were only slightly injured and the others didnt even suffer a bit.
Wangye, eight were caught alive.
Ji Xiang let people bring the eight tied people in black in front of Feng Cang.
Kill!
The moment Feng Cangs words left, a light from a sword appeared. Eight heads fell on the ground, leaving a pool of blood on the ground.
Feng Cang didnt question and directly let people kill them. Such directness and efficiency made even Murong Qi Qi nod in approval.
They were attacked at the border, so these people were certainly not sent by Xi Qi. No matter how stupid Longze Yu is, he wouldnt let something happen to Feng Cang in his territory. He is more than willing to let Feng Cang leave Xi Qi safely. The only possibility was Bei Zhou. There are people who dislike Feng Cang in that country. Thats why they chose to make a move at the Stone Gate to frame Xi Qi.
Its just that who in Bei Zhou has so much hatred towards Feng Cang, even wanting to kill him? It seems that Feng Cangs popularity is also general, ah. Then does this mean that more fun things will happen when she goes there?
Qing Qing, in view of this times accident, we shouldnt be so far away from each other. You come closer to me. Then I can protect you better, ah! Lest you be separated again like today and I need to go search.
Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to oppose, Feng Cang directly let people move her tent next to his. Looking at Murong Qi Qis tent, Feng Cang nodded with satisfaction: From tomorrow on, Qing Qing and I will be in the same carriage! Then I can protect your safety!
Wangye, this, this is not appropriate
Murong Qi Qi was somewhat helpless.
Every day, facing with that devilish beautiful face of Feng Cang? How strong of a mind will be enough, ah?! Besides, is this wangyes aim really to protect her? This felt really fishy!
Guessing that Murong Qi Qi would refuse, Feng Cang looked around and with a puzzled expression, he asked: Uh, where did general Shangguan go? Why didnt I see him the whole night?
You have guts! The other party used Shangguan Wu Ji, used todays outrageous matter to threaten her, so Murong Qi Qi can only thoroughly go with him. This is entirely blackmailing and intimidating, ah! He actually used Shangguan Wu Jis matter to grasp her. He is really too black bellied!
Seeing Murong Qi Qis displeasure, Feng Cang laughed. Inside the flirtatious Feng Cangs eyes appeared laughter.
Qing Qing, did you see general Shangguan? Is he not responsible for your safety? Can it be that he is still asleep? How can this happen?! All these movements didnt even wake him. It seems that general Shangguans vigilance is too low, ah! In the future, how about I protect you?
Alright
This alright coming from Murong Qi Qi seemed like it came through gritted teeth. Feng Cang even seemed to have heard the sound of her teeth grinding. The smile in his eyes became thicker.
Qing Qing, can it be that you are not willing? Then benwang1 can only go look for general Shangguan
Im willing!
Murong Qi Qi immediately nodded and revealed a bright smile.
In the future, Ill trouble wangye! Its late now. Im going to rest. See you tomorrow!
After talking, Murong Qi Qi rushed into her own tent. Seeing Murong Qi Qis figure disappear, Feng Cangs smile faded and he went back to his tent.
Hai, hai!
Just as he went inside, two mouthfuls of black blood were coughed out, which blackened his white clothes on his chest.
Wangye!
Jin Mo, who had been waiting for him here, immediately went forward to help Feng Cang. With Ru Yi, he helped Feng Cang to the bed.
Im fine. Speak a bit more quietly. Dont let her hear.
Although the edges of his mouth still had black blood, but Feng Cangs eyes and smile were laughing. He finally let her stay. No matter if shes happy or not, he believed that his sincerity can even affect metal and stone. He will surely be able to move her heart.
Wangye, is it worth the trouble?
Jin Mo sighed. This night, he almost worried to death. He was afraid that when Feng Cang saw Murong Qi Qis love, he would be in shock, which would stimulate the gu poison in his body.
Gu: is a venom based poison which involves sealing several venomous creatures inside a container where they devour one another and allegedly concentrate their toxins into a single survivor. In ancient china, people from the south (nan) used gu to do all sort of things. Because gu is so small, it can enter someones body without being noticed. Thats why they are very dangerous and people used to avoid people from the south.
Fortunately, he came back safely, although he brought back Murong Qi Qi. This made Jin Mo feel somewhat unhappy. But to Jin Mo, Feng Cang returning safely was the best thing.
Letting the others retreat, Jin Mo began to practice acupuncture on Feng Cang. Feng Cangs treatment being interrupted had harmed his body greatly. Tonight would be a sleepless night again. Those attackers came well prepared. They actually chose the night of the full moon; when Feng Cang will fall ill to attack. Really damn them!
Jin Mo, you dont understand.
Feng Cang closed his eyes and remembered every smile and frown from Murong Qi Qi. And then after remembering her angry and unwilling expression, his mood became better. He didnt mind that earlier on, his heart was in his throat and how worried he was about Murong Qi Qi walking away
Jin Mo, youre such a cold-blooded person, seemingly heartless, but in fact, you are exceedingly empathic. If you really met your true love, you wouldnt hesitate even more than I do.
I dont believe in those nothingness!
Jin Mo didnt believe in Feng Cangs words. His whole life, he only pursued excellence of medicine. Love? Its only a thing to pass boring times. And he didnt even have time to rest.
Jin Mos biggest wish is to cure Feng Cang. Its not just only for friendship but its more about enhancing himself. Cracking medical problems is what Jin Mos most interested in. As for women, they are troublesome species. He wished he can avoid all and stay at a distance, how would he put feelings into them.
Do you dare to gamble with me?
Feng Cang opened his eyes and smilingly looked at Jin Mos cold eyes. At this time, his (FC) eyes doesnt have the previous haze anymore. His eyes were translucent, showing that the owner of this body was in a very good mood.
I bet if you met a woman you love; you will not hesitate to let the moth fly into the flame!
The moth flies into the flame: fatal attraction
Under the candle light, the realness in Feng Cangs eyes surprised Jin Mo. Them his hands began to be busy again. He would not be like Feng Cang. Because of Murong Qi Qi, Feng Cang chased after her, regardless of his illness. He would never give up his life because of a woman.
Wangye, you want to bet? Alright. But if you lose, you have to cooperate with my treatment. You cant be like today. In my hands, theres no person who had died. Dont tarnish my reputation!
Deal!
Seeing Jin Mo being so foolish, Feng Cang just smiled and accepted the deal. Then he closed his eyes again and accepted the treatment.
The whole night, Jin Mo didnt rest. He had been treating Feng Cang with acupuncture. Only when the horizon turned white did Jin Mo put away his needles and wiped the sweat on his face away with a white handkerchief.
Wangye, next time, you cant be headstrong like this again. Otherwise, even if my master is here, he wouldnt be able to cure you.
Jin Mo helped Feng Cang up and repeatedly warned him.
I know!
Feng Cangs face color returned to normal. Receiving treatment the whole night made his face somewhat pale, but his spirit was a lot better.
Jin Mo, you and I are the same age, why are you nagging like an old aunt?
Is it not because wangye doesnt listen to advice and does whatever you like?!
Jin Mo didnt know whether to laugh or cry at Feng Cangs joking tone.
As long as wangye cooperates and treats yourself well, Ill certainly find a way!
Rest assured, Jin Mo
Feng Cang pointed at his heart.
Now I have someone I worry about in here. Ill certainly take care of my body. I want to grow old with her and also have many children and grandchildren. So in the future, Ill be troubling you.
The eloping at night matter wasnt pursued like Feng Cang said and Murong Qi Qi became completely imprisoned in his circle. The two were in the same carriage on the same road during the day and at night, their tents were only a few steps away of each other. In short, wherever Feng Cang is, there Murong Qi Qi will be also. The range of Murong Qi Qis activities didnt exceed the sight of Feng Cang.
A few times, Shangguan Wu Ji wanted to talk to Murong Qi Qi, but was blocked with a phrase from Ji Xiang, wangye will protect wangfei. Plus the fact that Feng Cang had been attacked inside Xi Qi, after Longze Yu found out, he sent a decree to scold Shangguan Wu Ji very hard. These past few days, Shangguan Wu Jis spirit was very low and his expression looked bad.
Wangfei, the things you wanted have been prepared.
In order to avoid being face to face with Feng Cang; the boring thing of small eyes staring at big eyes, Murong Qi Qi let people make a set of chess. Have to say, the people under Feng Cang are very effective. She was just painting a xiang chess set out of boredom, the next day Feng Cang let people sent one over.
They are obviously on a journey with no craftsmen or anything, but the xiang chess set Ru Yi brought was so exquisite. Half of the chess pieces were made from red sandalwood. So yellow, they became translucent. So purple, they emitted redness.
This era only has Gobang (Gomuku/Five in a row) and xiang chess. Towards this xiang chess designed by Murong Qi Qi, Feng Cang was very interested.
gobang
xiang chess
Feng Cang is Bei Zhous war god. He used military forces like a god. So Murong Qi Qi is also interested in battling with this general from ancient times to see who is better. So she patiently told Feng Cang how to play. She just told once and demonstrated twice, and Feng Cang already understood the cleverness of this xiang chess.
Clever! How did Qing Qing come up with the idea of such wonderful chess?
Now, Feng Cang even more felt the mystery behind this girl. Is she really that rubbish third miss from the rumors? Why is it from the palace feast to this xiang chess set, she continued to bring him surprises?
I learned by accident. Wangye, why dont we play?
Murong Qi Qi has long been overjoyed. The other party is a war god. Dont know how his ability of talking military on paper is!
Seeing those bright eyes of the woman in front of him, Feng Cang smiled: If Qing Qing is happy, why not?! Im willing!
Inside the carriage, two people played chess. Although Feng Cang is a novice, but he has actual combat experience. And xiang chess is the same as military confrontation, so only after three, four times, Feng Cang became skilled at it, making Murong Qi Qi couldnt help but admire Feng Cangs wisdom.
During the process, Feng Cang also couldnt help but admire the inventor of the xiang chess even more. Magnificent army with thousands of men and horses are all on this board. This is a concentrated mini battlefield, ah! It looked like just a game of chess, but isnt it also military forces facing each other?!
Checkmate!
Murong Qi Qi put down the horse.
Wangye, your turn!
Benwang lost., Feng Cang sighed.
Wangye, you just got to know xiang chess and you already can play so well. A few more days and youll be better than me.
Murong Qi Qi knew that even though she won, she won because of the experience of playing xiang chess for so many years.
Since Qing Qing said so, lets play one more game!
Ten days passed quickly. These ten days, inside Feng Cangs carriage, kill, fight, exchange and checkmate was constantly heard. Murong Qi Qis voice is delicate, Feng Cangs voice is high, making the eagle troop raise their eyebrows. They were wondering what wangye and wangfei were doing inside.
However, it seemed that wangye and wangfei have a good relationship. This made everyone happy aside from Jin Mo. He had been brooding about the matter of Feng Cang going to chase after Murong Qi Qi with no regard to his treatment. Whenever he saw Murong Qi Qi, he would have a gloomy expression.
Fortunately, Murong Qi Qi turned a blind eye to this, because now she found new fun. Its playing chess with Feng Cang. This person is a genus! Using the art of war on xiang chess. In just a few days, he was evenly matched with Murong Qi Qi.
Murong Qi Qi learned to play xiang chess for many years. Besides, she also received guidance from a famous teacher. Now, just in a few days, Feng Cang already has her achievements of ten years. It made Murong Qi Qi gradually begin to admire Feng Cang from the bottom of her heart.
Murong Qi Qi starts to admire Feng Cang and Feng Cang cant love this little wangfei enough. He even thought that if Murong Qi Qi was a man, she would certainly not lose to him and would certainly be a war god.
Fortunately, Murong Qi Qi is a woman and is now his wangfei. If she was a man who was loyal to Xi Qi, then when they met on the battlefield, she would be competing against him. It would be difficult to know who would have won and who would have lost.
Aiya, why hasnt Cang gege2 come yet!
Wanyan Bao Zhu tiptoed to the entrance of wangfu3 and peered at the distance.
Ning er4 sent some people to go take a look!
Princess, wangye has already entered the city. He will be here soon!
The palace maid Ning er next to Wanyan Bao Zhu told the news to Wanyan Bao Zhu smilingly.
Be a bit more patient and wait a bit! You will see wangye soon!
Ning er, did you find out clearly? That Murong Qi Qi is really ugly?
The moment Wanyan Bao Zhu heard that Feng Cang was arriving soon, she immediately straightened out her dress. She didnt forget to ask about Murong Qi Qi.
Princess, its true! Murong Qi Qi really is a rubbish and ugly woman!
Yong er at one side, helped Wanyan Bao Zhu with her braids.
Princess, rest assured! You are our Bei Zhous number one beauty. How would you be defeated by a rubbish?!
En!
Wanyan Bao Zhu nodded. Cang gege is her groom. She will definitely not hand him over! Regardless if the other party is Xi Qis princess or any other person, whoever dares to block her on the road of becoming Nan Lin wangfei, she will not let them off lightly!
When Wanyan Bao Zhu nearly lost her patience from waiting, Feng Cangs carriage slowly appeared on the street.
Cang gege!
Wanyan Bao Zhus heart jumped from joy. She wanted to rush over there, but was stopped by Ning er: Princess, be composed! Be modest! You always wanted to learn and become like Mu familys miss. She will not raise her skirt and run to a man like that!
Yes, yes. Ill be composed. Ill be modest!
Hearing Ning er, Wanyan Bao Zhu immediately stopped and stood at the entrance. Men like gentle and virtuous women. She must change her burning temper and become a little woman! She doesnt want to lose to Mu Yu Die!
