Chapter 497: Secret Guard and County Princess



Because of a dream, Shan Tao saved the lives of all the civil and military officials in the court as well as the emperor and empress, so she became a county princess and the empress's sister.

But Ji Feng was not very happy.

At first he was happy, and even boasted to his brothers, saying that his sister not only could speak, but also received a reward.

Who knew someone would joke with him, "In the future, I have to marry a man from an aristocratic family. Your brother is just a secret guard. Do you have the nerve to call him brother in front of your brother-in-law?"

Originally, Ji Feng had no idea about his identity as a secret guard, but now he does.

After he had this idea, he no longer wanted to be Su Bei's secret guard. He wanted to fight in the battlefield, make achievements, and do something so that he would not be inferior to his brother-in-law in the future.

But how should he explain this to Su Bei? He just couldn't figure it out.

Opportunities always come suddenly.

Su Bei and Chu Younan were sure that Tangya would not give up, and sure enough, within a few days, Tangya led his men to attack Xinyu'an.

As soon as Chu Younan got the news, he immediately sent Yun Rou to lead troops to assist Mu Ji, and also sent the Jinyiwei and a dozen secret guards to protect Mu Ji.

Originally, it was not Ji Feng's turn to do this, but he had already had an idea in mind, so he bravely switched shifts with someone else.

In fact, Su Bei didn't notice him until he came back, because the secret guards usually didn't show up, and she had no idea who was on duty today.

But Su Bei found that Shan Tao seemed a little unhappy.

"What's wrong? Did you have another dream?" Su Bei asked hurriedly. She was particularly afraid of what Shan Tao dreamed of, but she also hoped that Shan Tao could know it in advance.

Shan Tao shook her head, then nodded, "Yes, I dreamed about it. I dreamed that Brother Ji Feng was injured in the battle, but he was rewarded after he came back..."

After saying that, Shan Tao covered her mouth.

Su Bei didn't notice that Jifeng was gone, but Shan Tao had already noticed it, because Jifeng would visit her every other day before and would always buy her food and toys, but this time she hadn't seen him for several days.

After she said this, Su Bei also realized something was wrong, but she didn't say anything at the moment. She returned to Kunning Palace and called the secret guards out.

But the one who came out was certainly not Jifeng, but Jifeng’s brother - Jincao.

"Where is Jifeng?" Su Bei asked.

"Uh...well...he's on leave today..." Jincao looked embarrassed, and had already betrayed his lie.

Su Bei deliberately frowned, "Are you sure?"

"Uh... probably confirmed..." Jincao broke out in a cold sweat. They were just ordinary people. Anyone who dared to tell such a big lie for Jifeng was simply courting his life.

"Oh." Su Bei said calmly, "Then it will be his turn to be on duty tomorrow, right?"

Jincao couldn't stand it any longer and fell to his knees. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I deserve to die. I lied. Jifeng switched shifts with the Emperor's secret guards and went to Yu'an!"

If it was given to another lady, Jincao would have lost his life. Fortunately, he was lucky. Su Bei just glanced at him and said, "I'll punish you with fifty strokes of the cane this time. If you do it again next time, I'll punish you together!"

Jincao felt as if he had escaped death, and kowtowed several times in a hurry, "Thank you, Madam, for not killing me! I will do my best. Although Jifeng is not here, I will do my best to protect you..."

"Okay, okay! Go down!" Su Bei interrupted him quickly. If he didn't interrupt him, this guy would probably talk for a long time.

They are really two extremes compared to Ji Feng!

Although Su Bei didn't know why Ji Feng wanted to go to the battlefield, but combined with Shan Tao's dream, Su Bei had a vague feeling that was hard to explain.

This feeling is related to Jifeng and Shantao.

At this time, Ji Feng had already followed the main force to Xinyu'an.

Tangya did not act rashly on this trip. He not only brought the rest of Yu'an's people, but also secretly brought some people sent to him by Bei Yanming.

Therefore, before the main force arrived, the situation in Muji was not very good, and both sides were in a stalemate.

However, as soon as the main force arrived, Tangya's men began to show signs of decline. Even though he used the same powder as last time, he still could not resist the Ukrainian army.

His antidote came in pills, and each person had to take one, but Jiang Liu made incense, which would take effect as long as one lit a stove and smelled it for a while.

Tangya was unwilling to be defeated by Muji, and this time, he was even more unwilling to lose to him.

So he had an evil idea and found a way to sneak into Prince Yu'an's Palace, intending to fight to the death with Mu Ji.

But Mu Ji was protected by more than a dozen secret guards, which was something Tang Ya had not expected. Even though he injured one of the secret guards, the other party still let his sword pierce through his ribs and captured him alive in one fell swoop.

Ji Feng was unconscious when he came back. Because he captured Tang Ya alive, the imperial physician couldn't cure him, so Chu Younan personally ordered King Zun Yi to treat him.

However, Chu Younan was still a little unhappy. This was the only secret guard he had seen who left his post without permission.

Su Bei smoothed his brows and jokingly said, "What? He captured Tang Ya alive, and you're going to punish him?"

"He has made great contributions, but he has committed a crime before." Chu Younan said with a serious expression.

"It's not like he ran away directly. Didn't he switch shifts with your secret guards?" Su Bei pursed his lips and smiled.

Chu Younan was speechless.

Su Bei added: "He wants to go to the battlefield so much, I'm afraid he has his own reasons. Considering his great contribution, give him a chance to explain."

Xiao Beibei said so, Chu Younan still had no choice but to go against her, so he nodded.

On the day Ji Feng woke up, Chu Younan happened to go and see him. When she saw him, Chu Younan almost died of laughter.

He was still asleep when Chu Younan left. He woke up when Chu Younan was about to leave. Others would wake up quietly, but Ji Feng was different. As soon as he opened his eyes, he shouted, "Did you catch him? Did you catch him?"

"We've got it, we've got it!" someone comforted him.

Ji Feng seemed to be unconscious, "It's good that he's caught! Have I done a good deed this time? It shouldn't be too embarrassing in front of my brother-in-law in the future, right?!"

After saying this, he fell back with a thud and fainted again.

Chu Younan hurried out and tried not to laugh, but he still couldn't help but tell Su Bei about it.

Su Bei was worried after hearing this. "Why is this guy so stupid? I thought he wanted to make achievements to be worthy of Shan Tao's status as the county lord. Who knew he was afraid of losing face in front of his brother-in-law..."

Chu Younan then realized that Su Bei wanted to match Shan Tao and Ji Feng up.

"It is indeed inappropriate for a secret guard to marry a county lady." He said in a deep voice.

"But I've long noticed that Shan Tao has feelings for him. Do you think he will make Shan Tao sad?" Su Bei's worries were not groundless. He had cured Shan Tao's muteness before, and the two had been together for several months. Shan Tao was well-behaved and clever, so Su Bei liked her very much.

Chu Younan's eyes flashed with slyness, "According to what you said, if Ji Feng lets Shan Tao down, I will punish him for deserting his post when he gets better!"

Su Bei was in a state of confusion. It seemed that she had to do something.
