Chapter 108

You Yuan felt that it was fortunate that the Second Young Master wasn't here, otherwise, he might have been shot dead on the spot by his own elder brother.

If Miss Wen hadn't just lost her father, the young marshal certainly wouldn't have minded making it a fait accompli first.

Help Huo Jingfeng take care of his fiancée?

Huo Jingzhou sneered inwardly. Did he have that much free time? Did Huo Jingfeng even deserve it?

However, the little rabbit still had some conscience; it knew to be grateful to him and to treat him well.

Thinking of the "bad idea" the wet nurse gave to the little white rabbit, Huo Jingzhou's mood improved slightly.

Although the little white rabbit was trying to get close to him to repay his kindness and treat him like an older brother, once she walked right into his trap, did he really think he could let her get away?

Huo Shaoshuai narrowed his cold, dark eyes and asked You Yuan, "Has Huo Jingfeng returned to Haicheng soon?"

You Yuan thought to himself: Here it comes, the young marshal is indeed going to make a move against the second young master.

Brothers killing each other, Amitabha Buddha, what a sin!

However, he said, "Yes, young marshal, are you going to prevent the second young master from returning to Haicheng?"

Huo Jingzhou glanced at him indifferently, "Am I a heartless and insane villain?"

Why would you risk the life of your own brother so easily?

"Of course not!"

While saying this, You Yuan was thinking to himself: If necessary, Young Marshal, your hand will definitely not tremble when you shoot the Second Young Master!

Huo Jingzhou tapped his long, well-defined fingers on the table and suddenly said, "Hasn't Huo Jingfeng always looked down on the old traditions of the country?"

"Have someone tell him that he has a fiancée in Biancheng and is about to go to Haicheng. Also, tell him about the Wen family's importance in the old man's heart."

You Yuan... You Yuan realized that with Huo Jingfeng's supposed pursuit of freedom but actually his rebellious and immature personality, he definitely couldn't tolerate having a fiancée arranged by feudal old ideas. That would be an insult to his dignity and personality.

If these words get back, the Second Young Master will definitely think that once Miss Wen goes to Haicheng, he will be forced by his father to marry a feudal woman.

He will definitely try every means to break off the engagement.

When the time comes, the young marshal will stand up for Miss Wen, not only protecting her and winning her heart, but also naturally taking her as his bride.

Tsk tsk tsk...

As expected of the young marshal!

You Yuan solemnly replied, "Young Marshal, rest assured."

Huo Jingzhou's eyes were deep and mysterious. "Huo Jingfeng likes women outside. As the older brother, I can't restrain my younger brother. I should help him out and not let the old man interfere with him."

You Yuan: "...Okay, young marshal, I understand, young marshal."

Holy crap, is the young marshal determined to turn the second young master into a worthless playboy?

Thus, when Miss Wen met the Second Young Master, her impression of this fiancé instantly plummeted. Compared to the virtuous, handsome, and promising Young Marshal, how could she possibly still like him?

In order to win over his brother's wife, the young marshal really went to any lengths to try and ruin the second son!

You Yuan swallowed hard and silently lit a candle for the second young master.

However, if the Second Young Master is truly a virtuous gentleman, these methods will be of no use.

Ultimately, it was Huo Jingfeng's own lack of ambition that led him to use a romantic and free-spirited facade to mask his worthless and despicable nature.

A woman as pure and kind as Miss Wen should not be ruined by him.

Yes, Miss Wen and Young Marshal Huo are a match made in heaven!

"Report!"

A guard came in and reported, "Young Marshal, the Dai family of Beijiang has sent someone to request an audience with you."

The Dai family was a powerful warlord family in the Beijiang region. Biancheng, located at the confluence of the North and South Rivers, had always been a prosperous economic center and a strategic location fought over by military strategists.

In the past, Biancheng was under the rule of the Beijiang warlords.

However, when the ghost army attacked this time, the cowardly Dai family abandoned the entire city's inhabitants and fled in panic, handing over the entire city of Bian to the enemy.

Now that Marshal Huo has led his army to wipe out the Ghost Army's vanguard and recapture Biancheng, how can he sit still? That's why he's come back, hoping to shamelessly take back Biancheng!

Huo Jingzhou uttered four words with contempt and coldness: "Tell them to get lost!"

Whether it's Biancheng or Wenxin, once they're in his hands, there's no reason for him to give them up again.

The guard responded loudly and readily with a "Yes!" and ran out to drive away the group of Dai family soldiers.

Which soldier with any sense of honor would respect that bunch of cowards from the Dai family who were defeated without a fight?

Although they are not embodiments of justice or divine soldiers sent from heaven, they would never abandon the people and villagers behind them and run away in a panic!

What is the gun he is holding for?

Weren't we here to fight the enemy?

They would never allow the enemy to slaughter the ordinary people they were protecting unless they stepped over their corpses. This is the unyielding spirit and faith of soldiers!

...

As night fell, a young girl in a simple Xiuhe dress, carrying a lantern, walked gracefully by with a beautiful face and an elegant figure, like a fairy descending from the heavenly palace.

The soldiers guarding outside the study instinctively held their breath, momentarily stunned and bewildered.

Just thinking about her identity, the soldiers quickly lowered their heads and dared not look at her any longer.

Who would dare to be disrespectful or frivolous towards the young marshal's favorite girl?

"Miss Wen."

You Yuan stepped forward and greeted him with a smile.

Wen Xin nodded slightly, "General You."

You Yuan: "I dare not accept the title 'General' from Miss. You can just call me by my name."

Wen Xin took it as a polite remark, not something she was really so magnanimous as to call Huo Shaoshuai's trusted subordinate by name, nor would it conform to the rules ingrained in her bones.

"Is the young marshal here?"

She was a little embarrassed to be asked that.

What innocent woman would come looking for a man at night?

But the wet nurse said she would treat Marshal Huo as she would her own father.

In the past, she would often bring her father, who was busy with work, a late-night snack, sometimes a bowl of noodles, sometimes a bowl of sweet soup.

Therefore, Wen Xin was carrying a food box in her other hand, which contained vegetarian noodles that she had made herself.

Yes, she just felt something was off.

However, the wet nurse would never harm her.

Wen Xin let go of her little grudge and just wanted to treat Huo Shaoshuai with the respect due to an elder brother.

Moreover, she had been so immersed in grief over her father's death that she had forgotten to ask about his injuries, and she felt extremely guilty about it.

When You Yuan heard Wen Xin ask about his young marshal, his eyes lit up. He couldn't wait to invite her in so that his young marshal could have his wish fulfilled.

Hey, be careful, we can't scare the young girl.

Otherwise, without his young wife, the young marshal would definitely die a terrible death!

"The young marshal is inside. Miss Wen, is there something you need?"

Wen Xin pursed her lips, about to say something, when the study door creaked open.

Huo Jingzhou, dressed in military uniform, stood under the lights. He was tall, handsome, and cold, with an imposing and unapproachable aura.

His deep gaze fell on the graceful young woman, who stood like a white pear blossom on a branch. Seeing that she seemed a little nervous and at a loss, he said in a cool voice, "Come in first."

Wen Xin glanced at him, then lowered her eyes as if embarrassed. "Young Marshal, I... I'm sorry to have bothered you."
