Marrying a Disabled General and be His Wife

Chapter 31



The morning light was dim. Tan Chuyan, who hadn’t had a peaceful sleep for a long time, slowly opened his eyes, focusing on the arm tightly around him. He reluctantly felt the hardness pressed against his lower abdomen.

“…”

Tan Chuyan stretched out his foot and kicked Feng Chilie’s leg. In his drowsiness, he kicked Feng Chilie several times before opening the man opening his eyes.

After the night passed, a circle of stubble grew on the man’s chin. He hugged Tan Chuyan into his arms, patting him on the back. “Be good, sleep a little longer.”

“…”

Although they were both men, and despite Tan Chuyan sharing a bed every day when in a coma, it couldn’t be the same after recovery.

Feng Chilie’s arm strength was too strong, so Tan Chuyan could only shrink himself downwards, using the golden cicada’s trick to escape the human body cage. However, he was pulled back just as he was about to get off the bed.

“Have you recovered from your illness?” Feng Chilie pinned him down, touched his slightly hot forehead, and said with a stern face, “You’re going out before fully recovering? I just knew something was off. You want to go and ruin yourself?”

Tan Chuyan: “I have a sense of propriety.”

“You have a sense of propriety?” Feng Chilie restrained him again, putting his chin on the top of Tan Chuyan’s head.

“You are the one who has no sense of propriety. Continue to sleep. Uncle Fu will bring food later, and then you can get up again.”

Tan Chuyan shifted uncomfortably: “Don’t you think it’s weird to hold each other like this?”

“Weird? What’s so weird.” Feng Chilie closed his eyes, his voice a little sticky due to sleepiness:

“When I was crawling around in the barracks, I often slept like this. A dozen good brothers in a tent, hot in the summer, sleeping with arms stretched out, eyes and mouth open. Stinky feet in the face. In winter, huddling together for warmth. We could barely sleep peacefully.”

Tan Chuyan, unfamiliar with these experiences, felt a bit curious.

“Sometimes, tired from marching and fighting, we would go down to a small pond and cause trouble,” Feng Chilie said with nostalgia. “Back then, young and energetic, I liked to compare everything, especially men’s self-esteem. I think back then, I defeated all the vincible opponents in the world, showing my heroic side early. Now, it’s even more heroic.”

Tan Chuyan: “…”

No need to speak; he felt the thing very clearly.

But regardless, Feng Chilie’s words gradually became awkward. Feng Chilie convulsed, and his hand suddenly fell on Tan Chuyan’s butt, making Tan Chuyan’s whole body tremble.

“I’ve seen more things than you. Besides, if you hadn’t run away from the marriage, I would have expanded my territory and sown the seeds of love in you.”

Feng Chilie opened half of his eyes: “Of course, the people of Jing Kingdom are simple and honest, and there are many good men and women. If you think I am good one day, I woll welcome you to come back and experience various interesting postures.”

“…”

Tan Chuyan’s face was blank: “…Why didn’t I realize you were so romantic before?”

“This is the mood between men.” Feng Chilie moved his eyebrows but did not open his eyes.

“You’re so flirtatious.”

Tan Chuyan quietly put his hand behind Feng Chilie’s neck, fearing that he would say something shocking again, so he treated Feng Chilie in his own way and hit the sleeping point, then patted the man’s face: “Sleep well, General.”

After that, he got up and dressed.

.

As soon as he went out, Tianbao came up to him. He looked up and down, left and right, and scrutinized Tan Chuyan several times: “Your Highness, you woke up. Did that bad guy bully you? If so, tell the slave. I’ll beat him up for you!”

“I’m fine, you go back and rest, I’ll go to Ling-han Pavilion.” Tan Chuyan tightened Tianbao’s clothes: “Also, don’t let me emphasize again, you are not allowed to call yourself a slave in front of me.”

“Slave…I know.” Tianbao was still a little worried: “Your Highness, is everything okay? After all, that bad guy’s reputation is not very good.”

“If something happens to me, can I stand in behind of you?” Tan Chuyan walked around him and left the yard: “Stop listening to those random rumors. Feng Chilie… is actually not bad.”

Tianbao: “…?”

So, what happened to the two of them while he was away?

.

Tan Chuyan left the general’s mansion and quickly hid his figure in the darkness, but after walking for a while, he realized that someone was following him.

So, Tan Chuyan changed his route and went to An-xiang Tower.

When Xiao Yutang saw him coming, he personally greeted him. However, due to the large number of people in the building, he did not show too much enthusiasm.

He just asked, “Do you want to stay in the inn or have a meal?”

Tan Chuyan took off his cloak and said, “I’ll have a dinner. Let’s get a private room and have a bowl of wontons.”

“Okay.” Xiao Yutang went to cook in person to prevent anyone from doing anything secretly.

After it was done, he personally served it to Tan Chuyan.

When Xiao Yutang bent down to place the wontons, Tan Chuyan lowered his voice and said, “I’m being followed, five people sitting downstairs. Go find someone to create chaos in a while and get rid of them.”

“Yes, Young Master!”

Although Xiao Yutang was a restaurant owner, after all, he was a person who has experienced a bloody storm, and he always ready to destroy the restaurant.

He hired a few of his own gold-medal thugs to destroy the place. No table on the first floor was spared, and the scene instantly became chaotic.

Xiao Yutang personally met the leader of the people who came to cause trouble this time. While fighting passionately, he conspired: “Old Wei! Did you see the five people hiding in the corner?”

——Old Wei, full name Wei Changlin, specialized in training guards for An-xiang Tower and Ling-han Pavilion, and was among the few who knew Tan Chuyan’s true identity.

“I saw it.” Wei Changlin blocked Xiao Yutang’s punch with his backhand: “Are they following the young master?”

“Yes.” Xiao Yutang swept the man’s leg again: “In a while, the flames of war will be drawn to them, creating a trouble so the young master could escape.”

“Okay!” Wei Changlin’s old arms and legs were quite flexible. He turned aside to avoid Xiao Yutang’s sweeping legs, and in a few steps reached the five unlucky guys who were secretly monitoring Tan Chuyan.

One of the unlucky guys focused all his attention on the upstairs and didn’t notice the person coming in front of him, and at the same time, there was a heavy punch.

That heavy punch landed hard on the unlucky guy’s face, and his nosebleeds came instantly.

Xiao Yutang was extremely sorry: “Sorry, sorry, it was accidental, accidental!”

The unlucky guy who was beaten was An Yi. He wiped a nosebleed and quickly looked up upstairs. The person who was sitting in the private room on the second floor was gone, but the bowl of wontons placed on the table was still steaming.

An Yi’s heart tightened, and he stopped hiding it. He flew forward, trying to step on the table to go directly to the second floor. Unexpectedly, before he even stepped on the table, he hit someone on his body.

Xiao Yutang pretended to avoid it, but Wei Chang took the opportunity to kick him in the back, and he fell on An Yi.

However, after holding one down and unable to hold the other five, An San still went up and stood upstairs and shouted: “Brother! He’s escaped!”

.

In the General’s Mansion.

Feng Chilie rubbed his groggy head. He looked at the five people in front of him who were asking for forgiveness: “Have you lost him?”

An Yi took the lead and knelt down with a bruised and swollen head. The spine on his back shook: “General, please punish me!”

“Get up.” Feng Chilie rubbed his head: “You are not to blame for this. After all, your general was deceived too.”

Feng Chilie gritted his teeth. That ignorant little bastard who was used to ruining himself.

‘Wait for you to come back and see how I will deal with you.’

He waved his hand: “Go find someone. If you find one, tell me.”

The five people looked at each other and saw one sentence in each other’s eyes – did the general took the wrong medicine?

But it was a good thing not to be punished after all. Several people fled out, looking for Tan Chuyan all over the street.

.

Tan Chuyan had already sneaked into Ling-han Pavilion and started discussion.

Tan Chuyan was leaning on the comfortable soft couch with an exquisite foods in front of him.

He said to Yan Changfeng, “Uncle Yan, please go to the border between Jing Kingdom and Xibo to take a look. If Xibo has not set up an ambush, then send someone to Xibo to inquire about Tuoba Rou’s situation and see what information they have.”

Yan Changfeng served him a bowl of stomach-warming soup: ” Young Master, do you suspect that there is something fishy about Tuoba Rou’s death?”

Tan Chuyan held the bowl with both hands and drank in small sips. The coldness inside his body was instantly dissipated. He said in a warm voice: “I now suspect that Xibo may not know that Tuoba Rou is dead. Also, do you know what kind of poison I got from the assassination attempt?”

Tan Chuyan’s danger this time frightened the old people like him. If he hadn’t secretly found out that Fu Chunsheng, known as the medical sage, was a doctor working in the General’s Mansion and was doing his best to treat Tan Chuyan, he would have already rushed into the general’s mansion to rob people.

But now that he thought about it, he was still scared. Yan Changfeng’s expression showed some anxiety: “Why is the young master poisoned? Is it all clear?”

“It’s clear.” Tan Chuyan said: “I got the wolfberry poison this time. There are many poisons in the world, why is it the wolfberry poison? And why do they rush to assassinate me when ‘Tuoba Rou’ is welcomed into the royal capital?”

This could only mean that the plan failed and they began to make amends.

Yan Changfeng also understood instantly: “Young Master, do you think someone is using your life to muddy the waters?”

“Yes.” Tan Chuyan said, “You should investigate this matter as soon as possible. Send someone else to send a message to Ai Xia and let her pay attention. For safety, send some people to protect her secretly. Since we have made a fake princess, we must let her be safe and conceal her identity.”

“I understand.” Yan Changfeng assured him again. He picked up an egg and said, “Should the general know about this?”

“He should have guessed it.” Tan Chuyan took the egg and said, “I reminded him last night, he must have thought of this.”

Yan Changfeng was curious: “The young master seems to be particularly confident in the general.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Tan Chuyan’s face was unknowingly stained with a smile: “If you get along with him more times, you will find that this guy is a bit of a bastard, but he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, and he’s even clever!”

Yan Changfeng didn’t understand his demeanor; he was obviously cursing, but he had a gentle tone.

‘Forget it, few things only the young people can understand it now.’

Yan Changfeng cleaned up the mess on the table and reported another unfortunate news.

“Young Master, I got news this morning.” Yan Changfeng said: “The thirty-six cities of Pingchuan suffered a cold disaster, and many people froze to death. The big counties were short of clothes and food, and the roads in small places were blocked by heavy snow. I think if this matter is not handled well, the Jing Kingdom will be in trouble. Not to mention that the royal capital will be crowded with refugees, I’m afraid there will be trouble inside the royal family.”
