Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife

Chapter 892 - This Imperial Daughter Needs to Vent

This Imperial Daughter Needs to Vent

As Feng Yu Heng desired, Xuan Tian Ming performed a cremation for Feng Jin Yuan. As his daughter, Feng Yu Heng knelt and kowtowed three times when the fire began burning. The distant relationship between father and daughter came to an end with this.

Feng Yu Heng was in a bad mood, but it was not a result of Feng Jin Yuan’s death. Speaking truthfully, a person changing their ways immediately before death could not erase the hatred from the trouble that they had caused for their loved ones while alive, nor could the hatchet be buried in one’s last breaths. It was not limited to just Feng Jin Yuan, as this also applied to Yao shi. The reason that she was in a bad mood was that the gloomy atmosphere caused by their deaths seemed to point toward her life reaching a dividing line. Her parents had passed away, and the Feng family no longer existed in this world.

Xuan Tian Ming accompanied her for two days and two nights. Finally, on the morning of the third day, the girl returned to her usual self, as a familiar smile appeared on her face. Xuan Tian Ming let out a sigh of relief, “You scared me to death.”

Feng Yu Heng swung around her hair that had just been washed and very inconsiderately had him help dry it with a towel. Xuan Tian Ming voiced an objection: “Why not go inside the space? That hair-dryer thing is very effective.” He had used it a few times. Who knew that such a small thing would be able to create such a strong wind. His hair dried after a short while, and it was very mystical.

Feng Yu Heng, however, said: “Then there won’t be any feeling of having you dry my hair.”

He did not understand: “What sort of feeling is that?”

She thought for a bit then said: “It’s very intimate and close. Like a family, there is no separation.”

Just drying hair would have so many thoughts put into it. Xuan Tian Ming thought to himself, a woman’s heart really was difficult to understand. His hands, however, did not stop moving. Holding the towel that she had brought out of her space, he dried her hair and would occasionally wring it. Although it was not very professional, he seemed to give off that appearance.

Feng Yu Heng was the most improficient when it came to working with hair. In her previous life, even though she was a girl, when she was not in some sort of banquet or party, her hair was handled in the most convenient manner possible. Unlike in the ancient world, just sitting around at home, hair could be molded into all kinds of shapes. If it was done too casually, it would result in her being lectured about the rules.

“In the past, there were too many rules in the Feng manor. In the past, I even needed to go so far to pay respects to grandmother. But a granddaughter going to see her grandmother is something that should be done. If there was blame to be assigned, it would be directed at the manor for being too large. Going from one courtyard to another, it was always quite far.” She unwittingly began speaking about the Feng family then subconsciously shook her head, no longer lingering on this topic.

Xuan Tian Ming took the initiative to take on the job of brushing her hair, but he also could not do much with it in terms of appearance, but it was far better than if Feng Yu Heng herself had done it. Basically, when the two were together, they would very rarely rely on servants for such things. Xuan Tian Ming had also become accustomed to it. After brushing her hair, he went to the entrance of the room and received the breakfast that Huang Quan had brought over. The two sat across from each other and began to eat. As Feng Yu Heng ate, she suddenly said: “Let’s go to the military camp in a bit.”

“Alright.” Xuan Tian Ming did not ask what she wanted to visit the military camp for. In truth, there was nothing to ask. Feng Yu Heng entered and exited the military camp as she pleased. She had even established her own Divine Intent Army. Xi Fang and He Gan both called her master. It was just that Feng Yu Heng had brought up going to the military camp. Xuan Tian Ming felt that her mood was a little off. It was as though this girl was holding something in and had no place to vent it. Who knew how much of a stir would be caused one she finally found a place to vent.

After the two finished eating, the two returned to the military camp to the South of Sha Ping City. All of the soldiers were very happy to see Feng Yu Heng arrive, but they also knew that she had just lost her father and her mother. The people could not cheer too much. There were even some that advised her not to grieve too much, as it would not do much good. She did not mind it, nor did she say much. Pulling Xuan Tian Ming along, she went straight toward an empty tent. She then began to bring weapons and ammunition out of her space. An entire tent was filled before she went to fill another tent. Only after the two tents were filled were Xi Fang and He Gan called over to this side. They were told to organize the soldiers of the Divine Intent Army to come and fetch their supplies.

Xi Fang had originally been at the Southern Army’s camp. Hearing that Feng Yu Heng had come to visit the military camp, he rushed over on a camel. He said to He Gan: “I have a sort of feeling that master is definitely about to throw her weight around!”

Xi Fang’s feeling was correct. Xuan Tian Ming’s earlier feeling was even more accurate. Feng Yu Heng was indeed holding something in and could not let it out, but she could not allow herself to suffer from needing to hold it in, thus the girl came up with an idea. She told Xuan Tian Ming: “Let’s go and attack Jue Ping City tonight! I am feeling irritated, and I can use Jue Ping City to feel a bit better.”

The thing that Xuan Tian Ming worried most about was his wife. If his wife wanted to kill, they would go killing. They would do whatever she pleased. Not to mention attacking Jue Ping City, but even if she wanted to attack Gu Shu’s capital, he would not object.

Of course, Feng Yu Heng would not be so ferocious. The desert was too hot. Each step forward was very difficult. Although a battle at night would allow them to avoid some of the heat, there was no way of fighting an extended battle. The battle needed to end before the sun came up the next day. This was the greatest difficulty faced by Xuan Tian Ming’s army.

But taking Jue Ping City would not be a problem. The reason that Xuan Tian Ming had not moved for a long time was that once they took Jue Ping City, the Divine Intent Army would have begun running out of ammunition. At that time, if Gu Shu counterattacked, especially if the counterattack occurred during the day, they would be left with no choice but to be very passive. In addition to this, Jue Ping City was a step further than Sha Ping City. The weather was even hotter, and the soldiers would need a period of time to acclimate.

Now, these difficulties no longer existed. His wife had come, thus there would be no end to the amount of ammunition available. In addition to this, her medical skills were amazing. Even if Gu Shu counterattacked after they had taken Jue Ping City, they would not have any chance of victory.

He dotingly patted Feng Yu Heng’s head and lovingly said: “Alright, then we’ll attack Jue Ping.”

Such an important battle was agreed upon between the two during this casual conversation, but none in Xuan Tian Ming’s army voiced any objections. This was still the case even after Xuan Tian Ming plainly told them: “Imperial Daughter Ji An is feeling irritated. Tonight, we will go and have fun in Jue Ping City to help dispel this bad atmosphere.”

There were two consecutive funerals. Naturally, there would be a bad atmosphere! When the soldiers heard that they would be attacking Jue Ping, they all began to cheer, causing Xi Fang to laugh and curse: “Whelps! Have you forgotten how you were suffering from vomiting and diarrhea upon entering Sha Ping? What, now that the wounds have healed, you’ve forgotten the pain? Don’t blame me for not reminding you. Jue Ping City is even hotter than Sha Ping City!”

The soldiers said with very little care: “We’re not afraid! Princess has come. Is there a need to worry about getting sick?”

Xi Fang laughed. It turned out that these whelps were thinking along these lines. But this was also true. Feng Yu Heng had come. Was there any need to consider the problem of illness? He smirked and exchanged a glance with He Gan. They were both filled with expectation for that night.

They were filled with expectation, but inside Jue Ping City, General Bi Xiu led Gu Shu and the coalition’s armies in guarding Jue Ping City while filled with anxiety. The soldiers did not dare climb up the wall, and everyone was inside the wall. There were even some people that would stick their ears to the wall to try and listen for movements from the outside.

Unfortunately, aside from the sound of the wind, there was nothing else. The people of Da Shun had not come for a long time. They had heard that they were performing a funeral, but they did not know whose funeral it was. The ones in the Southern Army that had once contacted them had not contacted them for a long time, nor did they manage to steal any of the heavenly lightning. To Gu Shu’s side, although this was a battle on their home territory, they were still extremely passive.

On this night, Bi Xiu had drank a bit of wine. Although he did not get drunk, he was a bit tipsy. He just remained cooped up inside a room in Jue Ping City. He could neither advance nor retreat. He had been stuck for such a long time, and there did not seem to be any movement from Da Shun’s side. He had just been left there, his mind constantly on edge. In addition to this, the hearts of the coalition armies were not steady. They were very scared of Da Shun’s heavenly lightning. Some of their leaders had already voiced the idea of retreating numerous times. Counting them up, there were six or seven countries that had done so. This placed him in a very difficult position.

Bi Xiu walked out of his general’s tent and felt that the night’s moon was bright. There was also very little wind. For the desert, this was considered very good weather. But he also understood that this sort of weather did not present any benefits when it came to defending. If Da Shun’s people decided to attack on this night while using that heavenly lightning, taking Jue Ping City would be an extremely easy thing to do. He hoped that there would be sandstorms each day. It would be nice if that was the case. After all, Gu Shu’s people were accustomed to it. It would not present a problem to his troops, but the people of Da Shun would not be accustomed to it! Strong sandstorms were a protective umbrella for Gu Shu’s people. It was the lifeline of Jue Ping City.

Bi Xiu’s eyelids twitched, and he suddenly felt flustered. He felt that something was about to happen that night. In the military camp, his deputy general saw him come out and quickly stepped forward to support him, consoling: “General, don’t think too much. Those people from Da Shun have not made a move for such a long time. Thinking about it, they also have things that they need to think about. I heard that after they took Sha Ping City, the majority of their soldiers collapsed from heat stroke. If they enter Jue Ping City, I suspect that even more will fall ill. Their symptoms will also be more severe. They would not dare.”

“Do they really not dare?” Bi Xiu was not so optimistic, “I feel that there is nothing that they do not dare do.” He took a couple steps forward, swaying a bit; however, he persisted in not having his deputy general support him. While walking, he said: “Think of a way to mobilize the spies in Da Shun’s capital. I must get an explanation from Xuan Tian Mo about this matter! He did not speak about how Da Shun had such great heavenly lightning as weapons. He even put on an act about having us work together. Now, we’ve done all that we were supposed to do; however, it resulted in the ninth prince attacking in such a way. There needs to be someone to settle this debt with!”

When this was brought up, the deputy general was also filled with anger and immediately analyzed: “This subordinate also feels that we have been deceived by the people of Da Shun! That eighth prince and ninth prince were working together from the beginning. Over the years, they have pretended to be at odds, deceiving everyone; however, the truth is that they wanted to use this chance to attack our Gu Shu! Da Shun was no longer satisfied with having Gu Shu act as a vassal country. They want to conquer this piece of land. They want to seize Gu Shu, but...” He spoke until this point, and his tone became filled with hurt, “But even if this is the case, what can be done about it? They have heavenly lightning. When that thing explodes, no matter how many people we have, it’s not enough.”

“Could it be that there really is no end to their heavenly lightning?” Bi Xiu angrily stomped about, “This general does not believe that they really will not run out! As long as they run out of heavenly lightning, Gu Shu is the only kingdom in this desert!” While he spoke, he pushed aside his deputy general and unsteadily walked forward. While walking, he said: “Wasn’t it said that a girl was captured outside the city? This general will go and take a look.”

Just as these words came out of his mouth, a sudden “bang” came from outside the northern gate! Bi Xiu was extremely shocked. He could tell that this came from the thing that caused the people of Gu Shu to become panic-stricken- heavenly lightning!
