Hubby, Your Fox Fairy Wants Everything

Chapter 158 Di Qing’s Venomous Plot

When Lin Feiyang arrived at the military camp, his brother had headed to the front. In the camp, Di Qing was moving a black flag. It seemed that he knew well about the enemy’s movement.

“Your brother should march to here...” Di Qing threw a glance at the man and bent to move the blue flag. Lin Feiyang did not understand it but he still hoped his brother to win the battle. Leng Cang sized up Lin Feiyang, finding that the young man looked stable and discreet. As the prime minister of the Qi Kingdom, Leng Cang was doomed to be Di Qing’s puppet, but he did not reconcile himself to his subordinate fate. Lin Feiyang had a pure and angelic heart and looked down up those with evil intentions. In his mind, the person around the Emperor Qi looked like a mean character.

“Commander-in-Chief hasn’t been heard of for half of a month. Anything is okay, right?” Reminded by Leng Cang, Lin Feiyang felt his heart suspended. Normally, the scout would situation on the battlefield every day, unless something unexpected happened. The thought irritated Lin Feiyang, because his elder brother was the North Desert’s General Governor, the father’s pride. Things could not go wrong on the brother.

“My brother’s specific location...” Di Qing pointed the Jing Town, a long and narrow place which was easy to defend. Lin Feiyang ran to the stable quickly. The corner of Leng Cang’s mouth rose, and he thought that this guy was unable to come back forever, as the guy dared to look down up him. Meanwhile, Di Qing also had his own plot. If Lin Feiyang died in the battlefield, Lin Xiaosa was certainly able to capture the Jin City. Leng Cang and Di Qing coincided with each other on this matter. On the other hand, Lin Feiyang was totally unaware that it was all a malice aforethought. He braved the wind and dew all the way, and even two horses were exhausted to death for it. It was dark when he reached the Jing Town. Lin Feiyang got off the horse and decided to find a place to take a rest first. He became thinner since he had pushed on with his journey these days. The town was built along the mountain. Lin Feiyang led the horse to look around, only to know there was not any available room in all the inns. Then, he managed to find an inn available. Judging from the owner, Lin Feiyang knew that the owner was an honest farmer. Seeing the guest room, Lin Feiyang finally realized what was called “simple and shabby”. The room like a fence could not keep the cold off. The owner flushed with shame, because he was too poor to build a decent inn. Lin Feiyang decided to stand the wind and cold and make do for a night. Although the condition was not good, he should pay some taels of silver. But the owner insisted on not accepting his room charges, because the owner thought the man just took pity on him.

“I’d better find another one.” Lin Feiyang stood up deliberately. The owner got flustered, as he had been waiting for a long time for a guest. So he accepted the taels of silver apologetically. Lin Feiyang turned over on the bed, and the owner left the room. Lin Feiyang leaned against the fence, thinking that it was the first time to live in such an inn. It would be great if it were in summer. But now, the wind blew through the bamboos and made him shiver all over. Lin Feiyang muffled himself up well, hoping he could stand to the next daybreak. However, the thin quilt could not withstand the cold at all, and he was frozen to wake at midnight. In the direction of the South, flames sprang up to the sky. Lin Feiyang was about to get off the bed when the owner hurriedly ran to tell him that the enemy was attacking the town, and urged him to leave there quickly. After finishing the words, the owner ran away immediately. Lin Feiyang flew out of the courtyard. His elder brother’s soldiers were stationed in the South. How could there be any enemy from that direction, unless the enemy trespassed the brother’s defense lines. Lin Feiyang got on the horse back immediately and hurried to the South. The fire shot high to the sky. The people around hid into the hidden passage when hearing the bangs. Some bold persons stood on the streets and blocked Lin Feiyang’s horse. Lin Feiyang got off the horse and asked what happened. Just like what the owner had told him, the Jin army launched a sneak-attack to the Jing Town. Lin Feiyang was only worried about his elder brother, so he contiued to ran to the barrack.But with a few steps, he was blocked by a gang of soliders with Jin’s flag. Upon seeing Lin Feiyang, the soldiers mobbed up, and all of them held sharp sabers. To kill Jin’s soldiers was to only way to clear the road. He cast a handful of venomous pricks. It was the Qi family’s unique skill. It was hard to dodge the pricks as thin as hair. The man in the leading fell to the ground. Lin Feiyang cast another handful of the pricks, as he found the pricks functioned. But this time, the soldiers were prepared to life up shields early to fence off the attack. Lin Feiyang drew his soft sword out and charged at the lackeys who stood in his way. The sword looked light in appearance but sharp in offense. Its Sword Qi spread and broked down several soldiers. Lin Feiyang stamped on the shields and flew out. Seeing Lin Feiyang break the besiege, the soldiers drew the bows and shot at him. Today, their purpose was nothing but to kill the young man. It was the superordinate’s command. No matter at what cost, the young man must die today. The arrows flew to him densely. Even if Lin Feiyang had powerful martial arts, he was hopelessly outnumbered, and was shot in the abdomen with several arrows. The soldiers rushed up and beset the man. Blood spurted out from the abdomen. Lin Feiyang thought he had not seen his elder brother yet, so how could he die so easily? Then, he rushed out of the besiege with all of his rest strength. The soldiers did not expect that, and some of them were shaken away by the man’s Sword Qi. Lin Feiyang ran through the streets. But those soldiers would not allow the young man to see his elder brother, so they chased him closely to kill him. Meanwhile, Xu Linghe who came to reinforce the Jin’s vanguard soldiers was lurking at the end of the street, and was attracted by the sudden appearance of the Jin soldiers. As Jin’s Commander in Chief, Xu Linghe could tell the fake from the true, so he wondered why those people attacked the young man under the disguise of the Jin army. The young man looked 18 or 19 years old. Xu Linghe flew up to block those soldiers. And the young man had been severely exhausted, and his waist was wet. It seemed that the young man was badly hurt. The soldiers drew the bows and aimed at Xu Linghe, but the arrows flew to Lin Feiyang. At that moment, Xu Linghe figured out the whole thing that these soldiers wanted to murder the person with a borrowed knife in the name of Jin army. Although Xu Linghe did not know who the person was, he would not let him die, so Xu Linghe slapped the arrows away. Those soldiers were flustered by the man who appeared suddenly. But for them, either the young man or they had to die today. So the soldiers rushed to the young man in order to kill him as soon as possible, but they were constrained by Xu Linghe’s Spirit Power. Xu Linghe held Lin Feiyang up and flew out of the besiege. He could not delay his own business to save a young man, as the vanguard soldiers were still waiting for him. Lin Feiyang was still in a coma. Zhan Ming found a jade token from the young man. Although Zhan Ming did not know the words on it, he had seen them before. Lin Xiaosa seemed to write those words. Possibly, they were the language of the North Desert. Therefore, Xu Linghe was pretty sure that the young man must have some links to Lin Xiaosa, and that those pseudo soldiers had come at him. Xu Linghe asked Zhan Ming to stanched blood for the young man as soon as possible, and he himself had to go the Qi’s barrack to check whether Madam Yu succeeded in launching a sneak attack.

As early as half a month ago, a message came from the Qi palace that Di Qing was going to attack the Jin City. Afraid the refugees suffered great disaster, Xu Linghe ordered to besiege the Jing Town, a small town closest to the Jin City in the East. Xu Linghe deployed Madam Yu from the South Front as the vanguard leader. But out of his expectation, he interrogated those lackeys who had just jointly attacked the young man. When Xu Linghe figured it out, he could not help showing greater grudge to Di Qing. Xiaosa devoted himself to the Qi Kingdom, but Di Qing carried out the venomous plot that he tried to kill Lin Xiaosa’s younger brother and asked his own soldiers to disguise as Jin’s soldiers. If Xiaosa knew his younger brother was killed by Jin’s soldiers, Xiaosa would hate Xu Linghe without a doubt. Di Qing’s plot was really venomous. Xu Linghe flew to the Madam Yu’s battalions.

As seeing the young man was rescued, the soldiers knew that a great calamity was impending over them, but they were unwilling to die. So they hurried to take off the Jin army’s clothes. The ringleader had a plan. Since he failed to finish the task, he would be killed even if he returned to the Qi’s barrack. Why not deceive Lin Xiaosa first? After all, Lin Xiaosa’s younger brother was really taken away by the Jin’s soldiers.

“I need to see the Commander in Chief.”

A little soldier blocked the ringleader’s way. Lin Xiaosa looked up at him and continued to think about how to fight. There was only one way in and out of the Jing Town. Lin Xiaosa did not know why the Majesty would choose here. The terrain seemed good, but once blocked, the Qi army had no way to escape. So they had to leave there. However, to the South Front was Shili Town which was guarded by Jin’s intrepid female commander. Lin Xiaosa was at his wits’ end. And the person outside the camp barged in.

“Something urgent. Or you will suffer the consequences...” the ringleader said in a threatening tone, and it did intimidate the little soldier to think that he could not afford the consequences.

“Let him in...” As the Commander-in-Chief agreed, the ringleader saluted to him and got to the point immediately. In his words, the story went roughly like this: the ringleader escorted Lin Feiyang, but unexpectedly, they encountered the Jin soldiers halfway. As outnumbered, Lin Feiyang was killed. Upon hearing it, Lin Xiaosa felt his brain was in a buzz. Nothing like the Jing Town or Jin army could come to his mind, except his younger brother. Blood rushed to Lin Xiaosa’s heart meridians, to the mouth, and spouted out on the map, leaving a scarlet print. Then, Lin Xiaosa fell backward stiffly. The ringleader did not expect that things would go on like that. The formidable enemy stood ahead. But the Commander-in-Chief fell ill seriously because of the ringleader himself. The ringleader thought the responsibility was too heavy to bear. The soldiers at the gate rushed in upon being aware of the movement in the camp, and surrounded him instantly. They were Lin Xiaosa’s confidants and came up to kill the ringleader with hesitation. The ringleader never thought that he would die of abrupt sabers.

“Military doctor... Ask him to come here now.”

One of the soldiers kept a clear head and shouted. Soon, the military doctor arrived. He felt the Lin Xiaosa’ pulse, and prescribed after hearing the little soldiers retelling the malady. Then, the military doctor spoke of the Commander-in-Chief’s state of illness that Lin Xiaosa’s furious Qi gushed into his heart meridians, so that he needed some days to convalesce. If Di Qing knew where the story went, he must deeply regret having made such a plot, because it caused a mortal blow to Qi army. At the crucial moment when the two armies were about to fight, the Commander in Chief fell ill. What a fatal blow! If the enemy got the news, the result was more ominous than propitious.

Xu Linghe directed the battle, and asked the commando to put on Qi army’s clothes. Di Qing did rack his brains to sow discord between Xu Linghe and Lin Xiaosa, as Di Qing ordered his soldiers to disguised as the Jin soldiers to assassinate Xiaosa’s younger brother. If his malevolent scheme worked, Xiaosa would hate Xu Linghe for the rest of his life certainly. Di Qing’s multiple purposes would be gained with only one stroke. But fortunately, Xu Linghe saved Lin Feiyang. It was not a gentleman to have vengeance or not to avenge it. Di Qing could not dictate everything in the world? Didn’t Di Qing like the authority and power? Xu Linghe thought he could make Qi Qing lose the authority and unable to get it forever.

Jin’s soldiers disguised themselves as the Qi’s and lurked into the Qi’s barrack. Madam Yu divided her troops into two. The commando headed to the military camp. Qi’s barrack was unusually quiet. The Commander-in-chief’s camp was lined with sentinels. Madam Yu transformed herself into a wisp of smoke into the camp.

Xu Linghe was thinking about deployment strategy, hoping to find out Di army’s weak point. However, in the sand table, Di Qing always had the upper hand. To win the battle, Jin army had to breach the Jing Town’s lines. Drilling result made Xu Linghe exhausted. A soldier served a cup of strong tea for him. The people drank the tea cups after cups. Drinking tea should be a refined thing, but military officials just glugged down. Xu Linghe wore a distressed expression and unveiled the camp. The cold wind chilled his spine. He was a layman to lead troops in the war, but a good mastermind. However, these days the Jin army was forced to retreat nowhere. Madam Yu’s crack troops thrashed the Qi army in the South Front. Xu Linghe also knew it.

Yan Shen thought about Xu Linghe. Profit was prioritized above all else. How could Yan Shen open the mouth to ask for help? Xu Linghe weighed whether he should find another way out. The courtyard was deadly silent. Withered leaves grated under the feet. It came to the days when leaves fell like flying butterflies in the autumn. Could he pass the tribulation? Yan Shen bent down to pick up a leaf and raised his hand to let the wind blow it heavily. The withered leaf was about to set sail but was blown back by the adverse wind. Yan Shen let out a long sigh. The withered leaf’s fate was exactly the same as his. The surrendering result was that he had to turn to flower mud. He was not reconciled or willing.

Not only because Yan Shen hated Di Qing, but also behind Yan Shen stood the Jin Kingdom’s Master. Xu Linghe would not shrink back. Black Shadow streaked the night sky and suspended in the mid-air. The Black Shadow had already had the great desire to tame the human realm and fooled with the three realms in his palms. It was Black Shadow’s mission. He wanted the Creation Original Spirit to know that even without the Original Spirit’s impartment, his cultivation was still superior in the Chaos.

Xu Linghe knew the Black Shadow’s intention. Only the interests could drive the desire. Xu Linghe gathered his spirit power secretly and thrust at the Black Shadow. How could Hongjun appear in the Jing Town?
