Mistress of the Mysterious Inn - C205
Xiaowan immediately agreed as she glanced at the sleeping Hanxi. She thought about helping the general wake her up, but after thinking about it, what if the general just wanted to take a look?
Although the Empress had entrusted her with the task of trying to arrange a match for this couple, her husband had already warned her to not interfere. In this way, no matter how far this progressed, it would still be the desired result.
“General, I’m outside. Call me if you need anything.” The Xiaowan was blessed, and left her tent to guard the door under the starry sky.
Ling Chaofeng was watching her from afar. Xiaowan waved at his husband with a smile.
In fact, he had always thought that with Xiaowan’s temperament, she would be impulsive and hot-blooded in the face of anything, not caring about the consequences. Perhaps what she had experienced was not enough and it did not show itself. However, everything she had encountered in the past few days was enough for an ordinary person to live a lifetime.
However, it was as if something had settled in her body early in the morning. Rather than saying that she particularly listened to him, it would be more accurate to say that she would think twice before acting in times of trouble. She was very smart and calm.
The Xiaowan waved her hand towards Ling Chaofeng, signalling for him to go back and rest. Ling Chaofeng nodded and turned to walk back into the tent.
At this side, Wei Tengfei guarded the sleeping Hanxi for a long time as he watched. Finally, she made a sound and lightly woke her up.
When he woke up from his dream, the moment he woke up, he was filled with fear. He didn’t know where he was. He didn’t know what time it was. He didn’t know if he had drifted to the sea with the ship.
But when she opened her eyes, she saw a face that made her feel reassured, even though it was harsher than when she had reprimanded her.
“General …” Hanxi felt extremely wronged, the moment she opened her mouth, her tears fell like rain.
“What are you crying for?” As expected, Wei Tengfei frowned, his heart was clearly filled with tender affection, and he pretended to be disdainful on the surface, “All day long, you cry, where did all these tears come from? Could it be that the ocean of my Daqi was filled with your tears?”
As Hanxi sobbed, she was at a loss of what to do. She actually opened her arms and pulled her into her embrace.
The person in her embrace immediately became quiet, Hanxi’s arms were bound, but she did not try to struggle at all, she only looked at the person who was hugging her in shock, and her tears also stopped.
“Cough …” Wei Tengfei cleared his throat awkwardly, “You’re not crying?”
Hanxi was still looking at him in a daze. This hug was so steady and so dependable, why did she suddenly have a thought about hiding in this kind of shelter for her entire life.
What was she thinking? What was she going crazy about? She was the fiancee of the Prince of Xiluo …
“General.” Hanxi’s body lightly moved. Although he did not explain it, he understood what he meant. He hoped that he would let go.
Wei Tengfei was in his thirties and had never taken a wife or concubine before. Even the maidservants in the mansion hadn’t looked at him properly, not to mention that military discipline forbade soldiers from touring or drinking in the flowerbeds. “For such a big man to have never even touched a woman’s fingers, there were actually quite a few people who laughed at him from behind his back.
But Wei Tengfei did not care, he was a human, not a beast, so how could he not have this kind of self-control?
After leaving Wei Tengfei’s embrace, his body still retained the feeling of being gently held. Hanxi hugged his arms, looking like he was afraid, but in truth, she was feeling the warmth brought by Wei Tengfei.
“Did it hurt you?” Wei Tengfei was worried that his hand wasn’t light or heavy.
“None …” Hanxi’s wet eyelashes trembled lightly, covering the depths of her eyes.
Wei Tengfei had a lot of things he wanted to say in his heart. For a while, he didn’t know which sentence to say to the straightforward person, so he was extremely agitated. He stood up and paced back and forth in the room.
Hanxi secretly raised her head and looked at the man who was also looking at him.
“Be my wife!” Wei Tengfei stood still, then said, “I truly regret not being in the mountain and telling you this, otherwise you would have been my woman a long time ago. Hanxi, don’t go to the Xiluo.
Hanxi had already guessed about seventy to eighty percent of the truth in her heart, but when she heard these words, she was still shocked. Or perhaps, just because she did not want to go to the Xiluo, any random person was willing to bring her away and she was willing to follow?
No, it was because the person who said that to her, was Wei Tengfei.
Tears rolled down his face, blurring his vision. He could only feel the black shadow pressing down on him. He viciously said, “Don’t cry, what does crying mean? Stop it immediately.”
Han Xi is not a crybaby. She used to be happy and happy all the time, but she also made Grandma and Mother happy and happy all the time.” Even if she did bad things in the temple and was ordered by her grandmother to beat her with a bamboo board, she could still act coquettishly in her grandmother’s arms. She definitely wouldn’t use tears to gain sympathy.
She didn’t know why, but she had become a person that could easily shed tears. Was it because the family had dispersed, because her mother had served her sentence, because she had lost her protection and support, and because she was afraid?
Wei Tengfei’s rough fingers gently caressed his cheeks, wiping away his tears and gently holding her chin. He said gently, “Don’t cry, from today onwards, I will never let you cry. Hanxi, follow me, I’ll take you with me right now. ”
His heart thumped loudly. Hanxi smiled. This life was worth it.
But she couldn’t go.
Hanxi gently pushed Wei Tengfei’s hand away, “General, you’re being too impulsive right now. You’ll understand when you calm down. General, if I didn’t want to marry into the Xiluo, even if I have already become sworn brothers with someone, I will still go with you. General, I can’t gamble the life of my entire family, and I can’t let you gamble on the army of Chuanyu, or even the empress. ”
Wei Tengfei’s eyes turned scarlet as he shook his head and said, “What are you betting on? What else can you do if you lost it? Can I be stupid and go tell the others that I was the one who took you away?”
“What happens next? Do you want me to hide my name and live in shame for the rest of my life?” Hanxi asked Wei Tengfei instead, “Even if the people from Xiluo accept the matter of me escaping, the Emperor would definitely choose another lady as compensation, and there would be innocent girls who would suffer because of me. “Also, even if we can take care of them, someone will find out about our matter sooner or later. If we use it to threaten you, could it be that you will be controlled by others for the rest of your life?”
How could Wei Tengfei not think of all these? However, he had never thought that in his entire life, he would impulsively do something that would not care about the consequences.
He had experienced what love was. Ling Chaofeng said that fate has come, so he naturally wanted to fight for it. She did not lie to him.
“You think so much about others, but has anyone ever thought so much about you?” Wei Tengfei insisted, “Hanxi, let me think for you, okay?”
If this was the case, it would surpass a thousand words. Hanxi was very happy, but also very sad. She had only just obtained it, and was about to lose it.
Hanxi strongly shook her head, her face was already filled with tears as she sobbed, “Go out, I won’t go with you, even if I don’t have to think for anyone, I still have to think for you. If my existence is harming you, then I’d rather never have met you before.”
Wei Tengfei clenched his fist tightly. However, Hanxi moved backwards and curled his body, covering his face with his knees. “General, you can go.”
However, her body was suddenly pulled, and she was almost dragged out by Wei Tengfei. He rudely pinched her chin, preventing her from turning his face away and forcing her to look at him.
“You …”
“Let me ask you, if you didn’t have any Xiluo, or those random things, would you be willing to be my woman?”
The two places were in a deadlock, Wei Tengfei did not have the slightest intention of letting go. His gaze was deeply fixed on Hanxi’s face, staring at every single expression on her face.
“Bi Hanxi, speak!” Wei Tengfei said loudly, “If you still don’t speak, don’t blame me for being rude.”
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll just treat you as a lifeline?” Hanxi laughed bitterly, “Are you not afraid that in order to not marry into Xiluo, anyone can?”
The corner of Wei Tengfei’s mouth rose slightly: “So what? I have all the methods I can think of, to make you fall for me.”
He asked, “Answer me, will you be my woman?”
Hanxi smiled, and said with a forlorn and tragic tone, “I am willing. But let me go. Wei Tengfei, we can’t do that. If not, I would have already married you last year, and would have been your woman a long time ago. We are destined to not be fated to be together, aren’t we? ”
“Whether you have fate or not, it doesn’t matter. What kind of master can you be for yourself? What else can you do for yourself other than constantly sacrifice yourself for someone else? ” Wei Tengfei looked down on Hanxi and disdainfully said, “You really think too highly of yourself.”
Hanxi was startled, but in the next moment, she was carried up by the man. His broad shoulders were enough to support her waist, but he actually carried her on his shoulder and walked out.
She wanted to shout loudly, but was afraid that she would attract the attention of others and harm Wei Tengfei. She didn’t know what to do for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, she was carried out of the tent.
Xiaowan who was guarding the door, upon seeing this scene, jumped up in shock. She covered her mouth and did not dare to make a sound, as if she was afraid of attracting other people. But General Wei didn’t seem to care about how others would look at him. Carrying the woman he wanted to marry, he smiled towards Xiaowan, thanked her and walked out.
Ling Chaofeng heard the commotion and came out. When he saw Wei Tengfei carrying Bi Hanxi out of the camp, and the Xiaowan running towards him, he spoke incoherently in a panic, “Master, what do we do? What do we do?”
“It’s all right, General…” Of course he has his own responsibilities. ” Even though he said that, Ling Chaofeng was unable to predict the outcome in his heart. What kind of situation is this?
At this time, they were singing and dancing around the bonfire. From this kind of joyous conversation, it was hard to imagine that they would actually be carrying a large number of gunpowder cannons towards Daqi.
Naturally, the Emperor’s smile concealed all of his hostility.
However, at this time, the people at the side suddenly clamored up. The crowd automatically opened up a path, only to see a tall and powerful man carrying a weak woman calmly walking towards the Emperor Queen step by step.
