Demon Wang’s Golden Favorite Fei

Chapter 168 (part 1) The return of Feng Xie

Such a clever person as Ming Yue Cheng, how could he not know the reason for it?! However, he agreed immediately. Feng Qi Qi didn’t know how to thank the man in front of her. She could only thank him from the bottom of her heart, “Ming Yue, thank you!”

“Don’t think so great of me!” Seeing Feng Qi Qi’s thoughts, Ming Yue Cheng smiled lazily. He raised the corners of his mouth, “I just want to take revenge. I just want to give them back the shame Xi Qi gave to me! Besides, if I watch with folded arms and Bei Zhou was split by the three, then, the next one they would want to eat would be Nan Feng. I’m just preparing for a rainy day and plan my own future.”

Ming Yue Cheng casted away all his true intentions. How could Feng Qi Qi not understand his excuses? It was just, some things couldn’t be said clearly in the open. So be it!

“No matter what, I’m indebted to you. In the future, if you need anything, just ask!”

“Then, can I ask now?!” Ming Yue Cheng walked forward and stared at Feng Qi Qi’s smiling face, “Can you give me your first child…I mean, let me be his godfather. I really like children!”

“Good!” Feng Qi Qi didn’t think and agreed to Ming Yue Cheng’s requirement.

After hearing this, Ming Yue Cheng thanked Feng Qi Qi, “Thank you!”

Feng Qi Qi and Ming Yue Cheng reached an agreement on the issue of Nan Feng’s army. At this time, Misha was furious.

“What is going on? Why did Dong Lu send the army?”

After learning of the simultaneous army’s movements of Dong Lu, Xi Qi and Jurchen tribe, Misha felt that he had been deceived. Dong Lu sent the army? Who gave them the courage? If they really had sent the troops, Dong Lu must go to Penglai Island and ask for help, but he didn’t get any news. Then, who acted on his own initiative and supported Dong Lu?

At this time, Jia Lan also frowned. This was the first time after he had a dispute with Misha that he came to Misha’s room. It was really shocking that Dong Lu sent the army.

Dong Lu had always prized harmony. When things happened, they choose to endure. Usually they were soft as persimmons. Why were they so courageous this time? Take revenge for Xia Yun Xi? Usually Xia Jin was so weak. Even if he loved Xia Yun Xi very much, he wouldn’t offend the leader of four countries Bei Zhou for Xia Yun Xi. Moreover, he wouldn’t have the guts. So, what had happened during this period?

“Xia Xue, you still haven’t gotten any news from Dong Lu?”

“Young master, not yet,” Xia Xue shook her head. It was reasonable to say that, if Dong Lu sent the army, Penglai’s disciplines in Dong Lu would’ve sent the news over. However, the war already broke out, they still haven’t heard anything. In the end, what had happened?

“I know.”

After a silence, Misha slowly opened his mouth, “It must be Duyi’s doing!”

Duyi was Penglai Island’s grandmaster Taixu’s second disciple. He was not on good terms with Misha. From an early age, he liked to compete with Misha. He was very unsatisfied with Misha managing Penglai Island.

“This time, Dong Lu dared to send the army must be because of Duyi’s instigation!”

“Eldest senior, then should we stop them?” Thinking about how Duyi opposed Misha, Jia Lan believed Misha a bit more.

“It’s of no use!” Misha shook his head and revealed an innocent smile. “Jia Lan, do you still not understand?! We haven’t received any news. That means, Penglai’s disciples at Dong Lu had either been bribed or had been subdued by Duyi. Xia Jin wouldn’t listen to us.”

Misha’s analysis was very sensible. Jia Lan agreed with him, “Senior brother, Duyi had always been dissatisfied with you. If he subdued the disciples and also instigated for Dong Lu to send the army, then what should we do?”

“Let’s return first.”

“To stop Dong Lu from sending the army?”

“No…,” Misha shook his head. “Xia Jin was disobedient. We should let him suffer. When he listened to Duyi, where did he put me, Misha at? Since, he decided on Duyi, I will let him lose some troops first! When he is defeated, he would naturally come to beg me!”

Misha said that he wanted to return to Dong Lu. Xia Xue was the happiest person, “Young master, won’t you look for miss Yi Lian anymore?”

Happiness could be heard from Xia Xue’s voice. Misha casted her a glance, making Xia Xue afraid. She quickly lowered her head. “Bei Zhou is attacked on three sides. No one has the mood…”

Misha meant that Bei Zhou would now fight against the outsiders. Wanyan Kang and Su Mei’s wedding would be postponed indefinitely. He has many opportunities to see Su Mei. He didn’t need to take advantage of now! Fish in troubled water is great, but it won’t be good if by chance he didn’t catch the fish and got his whole body full of fishy smell.

His backup was Penglai Island. Now, Duyi wanted to seize power from him to shake his foundation. After all, more than looking for Yi Lian, stabilizing his foundation and defend his own interest were the most important. Without a strong background, even if he finds Yi Lian, he wouldn’t have the ability to give her happiness.

When he heard the name ‘Yi Lian’, Jia Lan couldn’t help but ask, “Misha, who is Yi Lian? Why had you been looking for her? Do we know her? I remember that there never was someone called Yi Lian at Penglai Island.”

Misha didn’t answer Jia Lan. He also didn’t want to answer. He just lowered his head and played with his finger. He had a look of contemplation as if he didn’t hear Jia Lan. Seeing Misha like this and seeing that he evaded his question intentionally, Jia Lan felt a gas tighten his heart.

He had asked this question several times. Every time, he(M) adopted the attitude of completely ignoring him. Since the seven-level pagoda, Misha let him pay attention to the women who participated at the tournament. Could it be that he came this time to Bei Zhou for Yi Lian? In the end, who was that Yi Lian who could let Misha put down the matters of the island and rushed here?

When he thought about Murong Qing Lian, Jia Lan seemed to have understood something. He recalled the words Misha said when he (M) saw Murong Qing Lian for the for the first time and also his (M) care towards her. He (JL) also recalled the cruel treatment afterwards. Jia Lan seemed to have found some clues.

Murong Qing Lian was a contestant at the seven-level pagoda. When Misha saw her for the first time and treated her like that, did he take her as Yi Lian? Later, he wanted to kill Murong Qing Lian. Could it be because Misha got to know that Murong Qing Lian wasn’t the person he was looking for?

The more Jia Lan thought about it, the more headache he got. Misha had never left Penglai Island. When did he meet Yi Lian? From the name, it was a woman. Could it be that his changes of these past few years had been for this woman?

The news that Misha was returning to Dong Lu, in a moment had been passed by Fo Sheng Men’s people to Feng Cang.

“Want to leave?” Feng Cang crumbled the note. His fingers were clenched. The note had become ashes. “Let people follow him! When he left the capital, listen to my order and then act on it.”

Although, the war made people be badly burned about the head, but Feng Cang still managed to smooth the things. Feng Cang would absolutely not allow Misha to leave at this time. Letting Misha go was equal as letting the tiger return to the mountain.

Let the tiger return to the mountain: to store up future calamities
Feng Qi Qi had said that Misha may be Lian Sheng. Lian Sheng who came from another world had received a wide range of education like Feng Qi Qi. One of them was military. If Misha supported Dong Lu and moreover provided contribution to Dong Lu, then the war between Bei Zhou and Dong Lu would become very difficult.

So, whether it was for personal reasons or from the perspective of the war, Feng Cang wouldn’t let Misha go. Whether this person was Lian Sheng or not, he had put his eyes on Feng Qi Qi. He wouldn’t have mercy!

Because of the sudden warfare, Feng Cang stayed in the palace. Until the third night did he return to Tingsong building. When he returned home, Feng Qi Qi had long been asleep. After he washed up, Feng Cang sat down on the bed. His big hand pushed away the hair on Feng Qi Qi’s forehead. His heart felt very satisfied.

Originally, he thought that he could live peacefully and happily with her. He didn’t expect that heaven made such a big joke. The war broke out. The world was no longer peaceful. He would soon set off on the battlefield. He hoped to resolve it in the shortest time possible and be reunited with his wife and child as soon as possible.

“You’re back!” Feng Qi Qi opened her eyes. When she saw Feng Cang, she immediately sat up and hugged Feng Cang. “Why did you return only now?! I’ve waited a long time for you!”

She wasn’t fully woken up yet. Feng Qi Qi’s voice was sweet waxy like and was also like a lazy cat. Her whole body nestled in Feng Cang’s warm embrace.

“There were many things to be done. So, I came back bit later!” Feng Cang’s ten fingers massaged Feng Qi Qi gently. “Was the baby well-behaved?”

“Haha, he’s still small! Now, he is only a little tiny thing. How would he not be well-behaved?!”

“You’re right…,” Feng Cang chuckled. He had roughly learned about the fetus at Jin Mo’s. He didn’t have the fear of before anymore. He held Feng Qi Qi and went to bed. He held her in his arms and smelled the fragrance of her hair.

“Qing Qing, I may go to war.”

“Mm!” Feng Cang’s words were expected by Feng Qi Qi. Such a big thing happened, Feng Cang surely would lead the army to war. She just didn’t know which side Feng Cang would go to.

“Where?”

“I will go to Dong Lu. Ruyi will go to Xi Qi and ah Kang will go to the north side. Ruyi had followed me for a long time. I’m not worried about Xi Qi. What I am not assured about is ah Kang.”

Feng Qi Qi lay on Feng Cang’s chest and listened to his heartbeat. “Ah Kang also need to get some experience. After all, this country is their family’s. You can’t help guard it for life!”

Feng Cang agreed very much with Feng Qi Qi. He also thought so. Wanyan Kang had potential. With time, he would certainly become Bei Zhou’s tower of strength. No matter if Wanyan Kang becomes the monarch, the emperor or hold on the title of Xiaoyao wang1 for life, the stability of this country still needed him to maintain.

“Cang, I have something to tell you. After you heard it, you can make some adjustment.”

Feng Qi Qi told Feng Cang about the agreement she reached with Ming Yue Cheng. When he heard that Ming Yue Cheng was persuaded by Feng Qi Qi and wanted to send the army to Xi Qi, the hand Feng Cang held Feng Qi Qi’s tightened a bit.

“Cang, what do you think of my plan? Like this, at least on the west side, our pressure won’t be so big and we can alleviate the problem of insufficient troops.”

“Great! Very great!” Feng Cang had known as early as when he played the xiang chest with her that this woman had a way at using the military. Although, they only played chest, but it was military tactics on paper. Now, faced with the actual war, Feng Qi Qi dealt with it so properly making Feng Cang be amazed once again by the wisdom of the little woman in his arms.

Xiang chest

He was worried about the army being divided into three and would reduce the effectiveness of the combat. Now, with Ming Yue Cheng’s participation and help, the pressure from Xi Qi would be much smaller.

“Qing Qing, you’ve done me a great favour!”

“Cang, I’ve done you a great favor. How are you going to thank me!” Feng Qi Qi raised her chin and looked at Feng Cang’s devilish beautifully glittering phoenix eyes. Her eyes were full of smiles, “I didn’t help for nothing!”

“What do Qing Qing want?”

Feng Cang could guess Feng Qi Qi’s thoughts. He would go to Dong Lu, she would certainly want to follow. It was just, she was pregnant now. It wouldn’t be very convenient.

“Although I want to follow you to Dong Lu, but I’m pregnant and is difficult to get about. If I go with you, you will certainly worry about my body and slow down process. However, it’s a military emergency. If the army comes one day later, the deaths and injuries of our soldier and our citizens would go on for one more day. So, I can’t go with you to Dong Lu.”

“Cang, you go first. I will bring people later to provide assistance. If you can, give me a tablet to order. Perhaps, I can help you at a crucial time!”

It turned out that Feng Qi Qi wanted this. After Feng Cang heard her, he was very touched, “I was worried that you want to go with me and was thinking about how to dissuade you. I didn’t expect hat Qing Qing and I thought the same. Leaving you at home, I will be assured. I will give you the tablet of order tomorrow. After the army departed, you come slowly. Don’t tire yourself!”

Feng Cang supported her ‘the man sings and the woman follows’ thought made Feng Qi Qi quite surprised. He didn’t have male chauvinism to let her stay at home which was quite respectful to her.

Feng Cang seemed to saw Feng Qi Qi’s happiness. Feng Cang tapped her nose, “You, ah! Even if I let you wait obediently for my return at home, will you’ve listen to me?”

“No! I would go secretly to you!”

“So, instead of you letting me be more apprehensive, it’s better to support you! Besides, with you being around and I being able to see you every day is also like giving me reassurance. I will also have more motivation to fight!”

“I knew you are the best! Cang, I love you!” Feng Qi Qi took the initiative to offer a kiss. Although, it was only a light kiss, but it let Feng Cang be over the moon. Sensing that Feng Cang became restless, Feng Qi Qi chuckled. She buried her head in Feng Cang’s neck. “Cang, you’re so sensitive.”

The heat coming from his ear made the blood of Feng Cang’s whole body began to boil. Knowing that Feng Qi Qi did it on purpose, Feng Cang seized her in his arms and didn’t let Feng Qi Qi continue to disturb, “Qing Qing, Jin Mo already said not to have intercourse the first three months. It won’t be good for the child. I can endure…”

The last three words, he said them through gritted teeth, making Feng Qi Qi in a good mood. She reached her arms and hugged Feng Cang, “It’s still our Cang who is good! Heehee, good night!”

1. Wang/wangye: the prince of first rank

Chapter 168 (Part 2) The return of Feng Xie

Because of the pregnancy, Feng Qi Qi was somewhat addicted to sleeping. Plus the fact that Feng Cang’s embrace was very warm made Feng Qi Qi fall asleep quickly.

Feng Cang put his hand on Feng Qi Qi’s belly. A warmth entered his heart. After he’s finished with the trouble of Dong Lu, he would certainly put down the matters of Bei Zhu and be an ordinary couple with Feng Qi Qi.

The next morning, when Feng Cang woke up, Feng Qi Qi was still sleeping. He was afraid that he would make noise and wake up his beloved wife. After he put on his clothes, he walked out lightly.

When he was downstairs in Tingsong building, housekeeper Feng Qi came over. He mysteriously said, “Wangye,1 two guests want to see you!”

Who came looking for him so early in the morning? With this question, Feng Cang went to the study. But he didn’t expect to see Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue.

“Father? Mother! It’s really you!” Feng Cang welcomed them in surprise, “Weren’t you in the Nan four states? How come you’re back?! When did you arrive?”

“Your father and I came back last night. We were afraid to disturb you. So, we came early in the morning. Cang er,2 are you going to war? When are you leaving?” Wanyan Ming Yue was very happy to see Feng Cang, but because of the war, worry was on Wanyan Ming Yue’s face.

“After your dad and I realised what Wanyan Lie had done, we had planned on visiting you. We didn’t expect that on the way, we would hear about Dong Lu, Xi Qi and Jurchen tribe. We rushed here without resting. How’s the situation? Are you going to war? Ay, why was it like this?! How’s Qi Qi?! Does she know that you’re going to war?”

Wanyan Ming Yue was like all mothers. Although Feng Cang was only an adopted son, but she treated him as her biological son. In the past, Feng Xie often went to war at the south and north. There were many times where she was sitting in fear at home. Now, there is war. Feng Cang would certainly need to go. Then, what about Feng Qi Qi?

“Ming Yue, rest a bit first. Don’t make it difficult for Cang er.” Seeing his wife act so nervous, Feng Xie comforted Wanyan Ming Yue at a side. “Let the child tell us slowly!”

Only after Feng Xie said that did Wanyan Ming Yue sit down, but her eyes were full of worry. “In the past, when your father went to war, I feared very much at home. I didn’t think that now it’s your and Qi Qi’s turn…”

“Mother, I will be fine.” Knowing that Wanyan Ming hated war, Feng Cang quickly comforted her. “Qing Qing already knows that I’m going to Dong Lu. She understands me. You can be assured!”

“Really? Then, it’s good!” Wanyan Ming Yue was relieved. Then, she stood up. “Did Qi Qi already wake up? I want to go see her! Although this child doesn’t say anything, but in her heart, she must be worried about you! I will go advise her and let her accept the situation and move on!”

Wanyan Ming Yue wanted to leave. Feng Cang quickly stopped her, “Mother, Qing Qing didn’t wake up yet. Wait a bit before you go, alright? She sleeps a lot more now!”

“Sleeps a lot more?” After hearing Feng Cang’s words, Wanyan Ming Yue looked at him, “You said that recently Qi Qi slept more…”

Only now did Feng Cang remember that Feng Qi Qi was pregnant. They hadn’t informed the father-in-law and mother-in-law in front of him. Such good news was missed by the two in front of him. He really deserved to die!

“Mother, father, it’s like this. Qi Qi’s pregnant!”

“What?!” Now, it was Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue’s turn to be surprised.

“Big brother Xie, I, I didn’t hear it wrongly, right?!” Wanyan Ming Yue’s voice got excited. She held Feng Xie’s hand and her eyes showed disbelief, “Big brother Xie, our Qi Qi is a mother now! We’re about to become grandfather and grandmother!”

“You didn’t hear wrongly! You didn’t hear wrongly!” Feng Xie was also very excited. He didn’t expect Feng Qi Qi to get pregnant so quickly. So great!

“Cang er, how’s Qi Qi’s body? How many months is the child? Is there anything uncomfortable for her? Did the vomiting begin? How is she feeling recently? A pregnant woman needs to eat more fresh fruits! She must bask more in the sun and shouldn’t be picky with food! That’s right, I need to prepare small clothes and small shoes for my little grandchild! Small rocking chair and toys, all of these need to be prepared! Aiya, don’t know if it would be a boy or a girl. I should just make a pair of the clothes! Did you already begin to think of a name….?”

From the moment Wanyan Ming Yue knew that Feng Qi Qi was pregnant, she was very excited. She felt very guilty towards this daughter. Although Feng Qi Qi was a piece of meat that fell from her body, but from young till now, she didn’t do anything for Feng Qi Qi as a mother. She wasn’t a mother.

Now, Feng Qi Qi was pregnant. Wanyan Ming Yue felt that this was God’s gift. God had heard her guilt, so he sent this child. She must pay back all that she owned Feng Qi Qi to this child.

How could Feng Xie not understand Wanyan Ming Yue’s mind? She felt that she was not a qualified mother. He also wasn’t a qualified father. Although Feng Xie didn’t show his excitement as visibly as Wanyan Ming Yue, but in his heart, he was really happy.

Only after being happy for a long time did Wanyan Ming Yue calm down. “Big brother Xie, didn’t you have something to tell Cang er?! You talk! I’ll go to Tinsong building! Don’t worry, I won’t go disturb Qi Qi. I will just go see if there’s something I can help with!”

Wanyan Ming Yue happily went to Tingsong building. There were only Feng Xie and Feng Cang left in the study. Feng Xie walked to the map Feng Cang hung on the wall. His expression turned serious, “Cang er, enemies at the three sides and the power of the army scattered, how do you plan to fight this war?”

Although Feng Cang was known as the god of war, but in front of Feng Xie, Feng Cang respected him very much.

When Feng Xie was young, he went to war at south and north. Aside from Yandang mountain, he had never lost at all. He was simply a fabulous existence. Now that Feng Xie had said this, he certainly had his reasons. Feng Cang quickly told his father-in-law about his plan.

“Oh? Joining hands with Nan Feng was done by Qi Qi?”

After he heard that Feng Qi Qi and Ming Yue Cheng had reached an agreement, that Nan Feng would help send troops to Xi Qi, Feng Xie stroked his beard and laughed, “Hahaha! A good move! Really great! Haha! The world split in two. To be able to say such words, she really is mine, Feng Xie’s daughter! Arrogant enough!”

Feng Xie’s laughter was vigorous and filled with a heroic passion. After he laughed, Feng Xie turned and looked at Feng Cang, “Cang er, if you don’t mind, I would like to lead the soldiers to meet with Xi Qi, this old friend. That year, although I failed on my own people’s hands, but outsiders thought that I was defeated by Xi Qi. I’ve held this in for long enough!”

“The method of Qi Qi is very good. We attract the main force of Xi Qi and let Nan Feng give them a surprise attack. By then, being attacked from the front and from behind, Xi Qi will surely become history! If you believe in me, give me a hundred thousand men. You don’t have to worry about Xi Qi. You can deal with the other two sides with a peaceful mind!”

To Feng Cang, that Feng Xie was willing to support was a great news. Feng Xie used the army like a god. He also had so many actual combat experiences. With Feng Xie, this veteran in lead, Xi Qi would be gone forever.

“Father, you came just in time! With you here, I will have no fears of troubles in the rear!”

Feng Cang didn’t know how to show his gratitude. If it wasn’t because he was compelled by circumstances, he wouldn’t have let Feng Xie go to battle. After all, the changes in battle were unpredictable and swords had no eyes. If something happens to Feng Xie, how would he face Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Qi Qi? However, the situation was urgent now. If it wasn’t because there was Feng Xie, a veteran to lead, he really wasn’t that at ease.

“I’ve not been on the battlefield for many years. It’s fine as long as you trust me!”

Mentioning the battlefield, Feng Xie was full of energy like a sleeping tiger that had woken up. It was like he wished he could rush to the battlefield right now.

Originally, Feng Cang intended to let Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue return to the capital after the matter of Wanyan Lie subsided and give them their innocence back. Now, this was an opportunity.

After discussing with Feng Xie, Feng Cang let people bring Wanyan Ming Yue. He went with them to the palace.

When the officials saw Wanyan Ming Yue at the morning court, they were dumbfounded. Who was this? Why did she look so similar to Feng Qi Qi and so similar to princess Ming Yue? When they looked at the person next to Wanyan Ming Yue, his charm and grace was so much like Feng Xie’s. What is going in?

Dongfang Lan was invited to the hall. When the empress dowager told the truth in tears, the entire hall was shocked.

It turned out that great general Feng Xie wasn’t defeated by Xi Qi, but someone had betrayed them! It turned out that the two hundred thousand men of Yandang mountain had died in injustice. It turned out that originally, it was a victorious battle?

Although Wanyan Kang knew that Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Xie were still alive, but when he saw these two people with his own eyes, he was still shocked. He didn’t think that Feng Xie was such a brave figure. He didn’t think that Wanyan Ming Yue was actually so graceful…

“Great general!” When the generals saw Feng Xie they couldn’t help but go forward to salute him. “This subordinate greets great general!”

Whenever there was a qualified veteran, they were most certainly trained by Feng Xie. That year when Feng Xie had died a tragic death, many people were very sad. Some wanted to take revenge for Feng Xie. They didn’t expect that he was still alive. How could the brothers who’d followed Feng Xie for so long not be happy?

“Great general, so great! You returned. Lead us to war! All the brothers want to have a good fight with Xi Qi! Without great general, the war didn’t have taste!”

This scene let Wanyan Kang understand what is the heart of the military and what is the soul of the military. In his heart, he felt more shame for what Wanyan Lie had done. In Bei Zhou, Feng Xie was an existence like the soul of the military. When he saw the worship and respect those generals had for Feng Xie from the bottom of their hearts, Wanyan Kang could deeply feel the meaning of the words ‘soul of the military’.

The emergence of Feng Xie let those officials, who were worried if the three battles could be won, also become excited. Feng Cang triumphed in every battle and won every fight. Feng Xie emerged victorious in every battle. With these two people here, there would be no problem for Bei Zhou.

Originally, those who didn’t understand why Feng Cang got rid of Wanyan Lie and didn’t become the emperor himself, now they saw some clues.

Feng Cang certainly played some tricks on Wanyan Lie. He took revenge for Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue. As for why Feng Cang didn’t become the emperor himself, presumably it was also because of Feng Xie’s teaching. Feng Xie’s loyalty was well-known. The one who did wrong was Wanyan Lie. He wouldn’t hurt the innocent. Now, after seeing Feng Xie, the officials were reassured. On one side, they didn’t worry anymore about the war. On the other side, they didn’t have to worry about Feng Cang usurping the throne.

The news that Feng Xie returned seemed like it had grown wings. Not long after, it spread throughout the whole Yan capital. The citizens who heard that Feng Xie didn’t die were all very happy. The older folks still remembered the heroism of great general Feng Xie. Now, Feng Xie didn’t die and had returned to the capital. How could people not be excited because of this news? Those people who were worried about the war, at this time, it was like they saw the moment of victory. With Feng Xie and Feng Cang here, nothing would happen to Bei Zhou!
