Chapter 17
Handsome Broken Legged Little Military Advisor [4]
The campaign was a big win for the Yan Country.
The entire army was in high spirits.
Furthermore, the Yan Country’s Third prince, Yan Jingyi returned to the dynasty with notable military achievements.
At this time, Yan Country’s crown prince has not yet been decided, all the troops in the army glared like a tiger watching his prey. The eldest prince is not the Queen’s descendant, practically a prince with no connection, and even more, he’s a man with no ambitions, only liking chess and painting, poetry and songs.
The second prince has the status and power to match his ambition, but he does not have the means and capability to become the crown prince.
As his subordinate, Ji Shang had put forward plans and ideas with all his heart and strength, but in the end, the second prince was
still suspicious. This suspicion forced Ji Shang to abandon the second prince and turn to the third prince.
In the end, Third Prince naturally collected the throne into his pocket.
The battle with the eastern army concluded and winter has passed.
The warm spring breeze has turned the white snow into a striking new green.
Yan Jingyi, dressed in armor and riding on a black horse, received the cheers of the Yan Country people.
Chen Liguo who should have been behind him at this time had appeared in the palace—in front of the second prince’s room.
“Your Highness.” Chen Liguo was still sitting in a wheelchair, but his face was a little more tired. He hasn’t had a good rest in the past few days and his body was unable to continue on.
“What are you doing here for?” In the room came the gloomy voice of His Highness Yan Jingwei, "I saw that you were having a great time with my third brother."
Chen Liguo’s eyes showed confusion, and he said, “Why does Your Highness say such a thing?”
"Why do I say such a thing?" Yan Jingwei pushed open the door and saw Chen Liguo in a grey coat. He looked at Chen Liguo carefully as though he had never seen this subordinate before, and after a moment, he sneered, “I had never realized before that you don’t look too bad.”
"Your Highness.” Chen Liguo seemed to be a little scared.
"See for yourself.” Yan Jingwei didn’t want to talk to Chen Liguo. He dropped a few sheets of paper and closed the door.
Chen Liguo struggled to bend down and pick up the papers on the floor, he glanced at it and was shocked!
On the pages, it was described in detail how Yan Jingyi hooked up Chen Liguo. What sleeping with Yi ah? What dear person ah? What lingering and fervent kisses ah?... Cough cough cough. This is practically an erotic piece of H text.
After Chen Liguo read it, he was shamefully hard.
Hard is hard, but the play still has to be played. So he continued with a trembling voice, “Your Highness believes the things written on this?”
Yan Jingwei said coldly, “What, can it be that all my spies are lying to me?”
After a moment of silence, Chen Liguo said with a hoarse voice: “Since Your Highness does not believe me, then I also have nothing to say.”
Seemingly humiliated, he wheeled his wheelchair and left.
Yan Jingwei heard Chen Liguo’s voice of despair and seemed to hesitate, but when he went out, he found that Chen Liguo was no longer there.
“Bang!” Yan Jingwei heavily slammed the door, his face gloomy. He did not believe what was described in the letter at first, but all the spies he sent said so—which made him who did not want to believe can’t help but believe.
One person who cries tiger can be ridiculed. If two people cry tiger, they can be suspicious. Then what if all three people cry tiger? Yan Jingwei wasn’t the sort of person to rule out everything and believe his subordinate.
Chen Liguo’s face was ugly, and his whole body trembled violently as if his integrity and even his soul had been greatly insulted.
When he came out of the second prince’s palace, he prepared to return to his residence.
However, when passing through the garden, he suddenly heard the cry of the woman.
At this time the sky was still bright but no one was around, the voice that rang from far to near was filled with incomparable bitterness.
“Who’s there?” Chen Liguo called out tentatively.
As a result, as soon as he made a sound, the voice was gone, Chen Liguo said, “Come out, or else I will call someone.”
After he had said this, he saw a thin girl slowly stand up slowly in the thick grass. She was only eleven or twelve years old and was still a child. Looking at her clothes, perhaps she was the unwanted princess.
“Don’t, don’t call people.” The princess whispered quietly.
“Why are you here?” When Chen Liguo saw the princess’s appearance and his heart fell, but he still showed doubts.
“I...” The little princess hung her head and didn’t seem to want to say it.
“You have a wound on your face?” Chen Liguo’s brow furrows tightly. “Do you want me to call someone for you?”
“Don’t call, don’t call.” In the end, as a child who had not received any education, the princess who had been was asked by Chen Liguo sobbed and said, “I am just too hungry, I came, I came here to find something to eat... ...”
Chen Liguo’s heart tightened and he said, “Come here.”
As the little princess slowly approached, she left the grass, and Chen Liguo found that her bare arms were covered with scars.
Chen Liguo, after comparing the pattern of the scar, figured out the identity of this poor girl. She is the person whose destiny he is trying to change—Yan Zhiyao.
It has been several months since Chen Liguo came to this world, but he had only been in the army. He just arrived at the royal city today and had thought about how to meet Yan Zhiyao, but he didn’t want them to run into each other like this.
Chen Liguo didn’t have anything to eat on him. He took some silver from his sleeve and handed it over, “Take it to the servants of the same palace and exchange it for some food."
Yan Zhiyao didn’t expect Chen Liguo to suddenly give her money. She shook her head in a panic and wanted to refuse.
“Take it.” Chen Liguo sighed, “If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll come in and see you again.”
Yan Zhiyao cautiously glanced at Chen Liguo then noticed that Chen Liguo was sitting in a wheelchair. She wanted to refuse Chen Liguo, but her hungry stomach cried out and her face turned red.
Seeing her like this, Chen Liguo felt more compassion. He also has a sister who is about the same age as Yan Zhiyao. So when he saw Yan Zhiyao’s humiliated appearance, he naturally felt a little more sympathy: “Take it, be good.”
Yan Zhiyao finally took over the silver in Chen Liguo’s hand. After taking it, she turned and fled, seemingly not wanting to talk to Chen Liguo anymore.
Chen Liguo looked at her back and sighed softly.
On the evening of the third prince sub-army’s return to the dynasty, the Yan Emperor hosted a great feast for the guests.
Chen Liguo refused on the grounds of physical discomfort and rested at home alone. He really was uncomfortable. This body was too weak. Although he is far from death because of the System, he is still affected.
As he lay idly in bed, Chen Liguo thought of H text that he had read at the second prince’s place during the day. After thinking about it in his mind, he said to System quietly, “Those spy brothers have good writing.”
System: “...” He didn’t want to talk at all.
Chen Liguo: “I saw Yan Zhiyao, this girl is really pitiful.”
System: “Mhm.”
Chen Liguo added: “I have to ask her what kind of life she wants.”
System: “Mhm.”
Chen Liguo added: “Just in case she wants to be with me, such a small girl, but it’s a crime, ah.”
System: “And the crimes you’ve committed are less?”
Chen Liguo choked for a moment and then said one line, “Just, I won’t be able to get it up.”
System: “Don’t you still have your H text?”
Chen Liguo: “...” It’s so sad.
The system saw that Chen Liguo had deflated and after a long while, it slowly added, "Don’t worry, you’re already a cripple. She won’t be interested in you.”
Chen Liguo: “But I look so good.”
System: “He-he, I will remember in the next world to help you adjust your appearance.”
Chen Liguo: “Don’t!!! I was wrong!!!”
While the two of them were chattering, someone suddenly knocked on Chen Liguo’s door, and the servant’s voice came in: “Milord, the third prince is requesting to see you.”
Chen Liguo really wanted to say: come in, come in, let’s talk together, from poetry songs to philosophies of life. Fortunately, he did his best to hold back and only spat out two words: “No.”
Thereupon there was no movement outside the door.
Chen Liguo was a little disappointed, so he decided to continue to talk to System. But after a moment, the third prince actually opened the door by himself, the strong scent of alcohol clung to his body. The expression that he looked at Chen Liguo with carried a lot more emotions than usual. He said, “Lord Ji, shutting me outside, that is not the proper way to treat guests.”
Chen Liguo’s face darkened. “Coming in uninvited is for thieves. Third Prince really conducts himself with dignity.”
The third prince was still wearing armor, when he saw Chen Liguo’s dark expression his mood became better. Smoothly closing the door, he walked up to Chen Liguo, and then one by one he removed his heavy armor.
The armor was taken off, revealing a strong chest and arms. His Royal Highness was indeed beautiful. Although he was only seventeen years old, he had the mature charm of an adult man.
An eight-pack, wide shoulders, and a beautiful mermaid line, Chen Liguo’s eyes almost fell out.
The Third Prince turned around and dragged a chair over and sat down beside Chen Liguo’s bed. He smiled and said, “Lord Ji, the nights are long, what can you talk to me about?”
Chen Liguo said, okay, okay, you lay by my side and we can talk slowly—obviously, that couldn’t happen. He restrained himself, and not only restrained but also showed an angry look. He said, "Your Highness, there is no need to be like this."
Yan Jingyi still smiled casually, but there was not much goodwill in his smile. He said, “Lord Ji, I am not a patient person. You don’t want to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit[1].”
Chen Liguo’s face paled.
Yan Jingyi saw that he was scared and he was in an even better mood, so he leaned over and gently said in Chen Liguo’s ear: “Those writings you read in the day at the Second Prince’s place......it’s still uncertain whether or not they would occur.
Chen Liguo said angrily, “You dare!?”
Yan Jingyi said slowly, “Why won’t I dare?”
