Chapter 897 Think of Me As Feng Yu Heng, General, Please Rejoice
A young girl in a white dress came out of Hundred Herb Fragrance with two servants following her out.
Feng Yu Heng had never been an extremely beautiful type. She was not even close to someone that could be considered a beauty at first sight; however, she was the type that would look better the longer one looked at her. But this was only for normal and good people. For those with bad intentions, the more they looked at her, the more chilling she appeared.
Just like in this situation, when those people with guilty consciences saw Feng Yu Heng come out, their first reaction was a desire to flee. But with a cold aura coming from Feng Yu Heng accompanying her frigid gaze, it was as though the area below their feet had grown roots. They could not move a single step. They could only watch her step forward, one step at a time. She then very accurately found them, and the corners of her lips curled up, as she said: “A total of six people. Stand there for me. Not a single one of you can run!”
The other citizens did not know what was going on; however, they could see that Imperial Daughter Ji An had become angry, furious even. It seemed as though she was about to begin killing at any moment.
All of the citizens stopped and looked at the so-called “six people” in confusion. Some became curious: “Are these people from Jue Ping City? Why have I never seen them before?”
“That’s right! They’re unfamiliar, but they have been with us for the past few days.”
“It was them that shouted the loudest about wanting to chase away Da Shun. We are Gu Shu’s people, and our emotions were driven by them.”
Some people understood a bit, but they did not know who these people were, and they could not help but look at Feng Yu Heng.
As for the current Feng Yu Heng, she had pulled out her whip. In her eyes, those six were just beasts. She had already begun her whipping motion while also saying: “You still don’t know how many daughters had disappeared? Then this imperial daughter will tell you today that these people dressed up as Gu Shu’s citizens are all Gu Shu’s soldiers. They spend their days mingling inside Jue Ping City for their depraved marmot general to help look for girls. As soon as they found one that they like, who cares if she’s someone’s daughter? They’re all sent to red tents!”
Feng Yu Heng’s words caused all of the citizens that heard this in Jue Ping City to feel extremely shocked; however, they chose to believe her because they were Gu Shu’s people. They all understood too well what Gu Shu’s army was like. That heart that had been loyal to Gu Shu finally collapsed in that instant. At the same time, Feng Yu Heng’s whip was waved back and forth, landing on the six criminals. Strike after strike, blood and flesh were sent flying with each hit.
How could the six grown men just stand still to be whipped? They immediately tried to escape. Unfortunately, it was as though Feng Yu Heng’s whip had grown eyes. Regardless of where they ran, the whip would bring them back. Even those that got a bit further away would be brought back by Huang Quan and Wang Chuan. They would then be sent back to Feng Yu Heng to be whipped some more.
Feng Yu Heng was also filled with anger, “Instead of living a good life, you actually attacked Da Shun’s territory? Very good! From this moment on, just open your eyes and watch how Da Shun will take over Gu Shu and your ambitions will be completely shattered!”
The six criminals were beaten to a bloody pulp by Feng Yu Heng. In the end, they were unable to endure this sort of whipping, and they all confessed, acknowledging all of Feng Yu Heng’s accusations.
Jue Ping City’s citizens angrily killed the six on the spot. Feng Yu Heng did not stop them, as one needed to reap what one sowed. They could be considered as accompanying those girls that had been captured and sent into the red tents in the after life!
The six had been killed on the spot by Gu Shu’s citizens with kicks and punches thrown by all. Some of Da Shun’s patrolling soldiers came by to tidy up the corpses before Feng Yu Heng said to that couple that had come to beg her: “Let’s go! Bring me to see your daughter. You also know where the other girls that have fallen ill are. I will also see them!”
This was the first time that Imperial Daughter Ji An had taken to treating patients in Jue Ping City; however, it was done in such a lively manner. A large group of citizens followed along behind her. Wherever she went, the people would follow, and this continued until night fell. Only then were all of the girls treated. Only then did the citizens let out a sigh of relief and fully begin to admire Feng Yu Heng’s medical abilities. They also expressed that they could accept Da Shun’s governance. From that moment onward, they no longer called themselves Gu Shu’s people.
Feng Yu Heng was very satisfied with this outcome. Of course, she did not forget to provide the earlier couple with the benefits that she had promised.
Indeed, there was no such situation that would go so well. The reason that this couple appeared in front of Hundred Herb Fragrance was that she had arranged for it beforehand, but everything that had been described was the truth. Xuan Tian Ming’s people had reached this outcome after some investigation and informed her. She felt that she could use this to cause a stir. Only then did she seek out the mother and father of one of the girls. She had them cooperate in a play. Of course, she would properly take care of treating their daughter as well as the other girls that had fallen ill. At the same time, she promised that she would open her own Hundred Herb Hall in Jue Ping City.
Feng Yu Heng sent a letter to Ji An Prefecture, telling Wang Lin to find a couple doctors to send to the South. One would be sent to Sha Ping City, and one would be sent to Jue Ping City. In the future, there would be a Hundred Herb Hall in every corner of the world. Although it could be said that opening one in each corner of the world was a bit of an exaggeration, but at the very least, there would be a Hundred Herb Hall in any location with a certain amount of influence.
The hearts of those in Jue Ping City were captured and became part of Da Shun in this manner. Xuan Tian Ming used this opportunity to push some new policies, expanding the policies that had been put in place in Sha Ping City. The official that took care of handling the family registers was also brought to this side. From there, Jue Ping City’s residents entered Da Shun’s census. They no longer had any relation to Gu Shu.
The situation in Jue Ping City could not be hidden from General Bi Xiu in Yue Ping City. He began to cry loudly over this and the coalition army that had fled. After returning, five countries directly withdrew their troops, which caused him to become even more infuriated.
But there was nothing that Bi Xiu could do. The battle had gone like that, and he himself had no glory. He also felt extremely disgraced. Even if those of the coalition army did not leave, he did not have the face to face their officers. Now that the coalition had left, escaping during the defense of Jue Ping City, at the very least he would be able to provide an explanation to the ruler of the country in the capital.
At this time, Bi Xiu was living in a temporary residence in Yue Ping City. Inside his room, the one at his side was none other than the one that had fled Lan Zhou, been caught outside Jue Ping City then been brought to Yue Ping City by Bi Xiu- Fu Ya.
Aside from fighting in battles, Bi Xiu enjoyed two things. One was wine, and the other was women. He did not need beautiful women; however, they needed to have a certain unique trait. They either needed to be extremely thin, extremely fat, extremely tall or extremely short. As for Fu Ya, the one thing that Bi Xiu paid closest attention to was her face that was the exact same as Feng Yu Heng’s. Even now, the two had interacted countless times, and he still could not stop himself from staring at that face while carefully thinking. From time to time, he would even use his hand to feel her face to try and find some clues.
Fu Ya said with a great deal of grief: “This servant has accompanied general for so many days, and I haven’t even gotten out of general’s bed. Why does general still suspect this servant?”
Bi Xiu shook his head: “It’s not suspicion. Instead, I feel incredulous. You and that Imperial Daughter Ji An are not sisters, and you aren’t even related; however, for you to be born looking so similar, it really is extremely strange.”
“What general said is true!” Fu Ya smiled and leaned a bit closer to Bi Xiu, doing her best to ignore the pain that was brought about by this movement. She raised her face to an angle that was very similar to one that Feng Yu Heng maintained, “This servant’s face is one that also brought shock to Imperial Daughter Ji An when she first saw it.” Ever since she had been brought to Yue Ping City, she had been kept in Bi Xiu’s bed the entire time. Even when Bi Xiu had military matters to attend to, there would be two servants that would come and take care of her. It was said to be taking care of her, but it was actually surveillance. It was to ensure that she did not escape. The maidservants would wash her body, and they would apply some medicine to treat the injury sustained from pleasing him too much. But even if this was the case, it was very painful.
“You also said that you worked with Da Shun’s eighth prince, Xuan Tian Mo?” Bi Xiu brought up Xuan Tian Mo, and the hatred in his eyes was no less than when he mentioned Feng Yu Heng.
From the moment that she had mentioned the eighth prince for the first time, Fu Ya had found out that this general had already suffered repeated defeats, and he was filled with hatred for the eighth prince. Now, she was seeking support from this general, and it was for the sake of obtaining a better way out for herself. She knew that Da Shun could not possibly accept her, and she was in the South, which meant that she could only rely on Gu Shu to survive. Fu Ya did her best to fawn on Bi Xiu, saying: “General, don’t bring up the eighth prince. His imperial concubine mother has already sent this servant to Lan Zhou before being arranged to live in Lan Zhou by the eighth prince. Everything was done in accordance with the eighth prince’s plans, but what was the outcome? It was being discarded by the eighth prince! General, do you think that it was easy for this servant to pretend to be Imperial Daughter Ji An every day? Needing to be on tenterhooks every day? Upon noticing that something was off, the people of Lan Zhou would immediately become furious. When this servant is with general, it is as a grown girl. I have done so much for the eighth prince, yet I have not even gotten a glance at his face. This servant feels unreconciled.”
With just a few words, she managed to strike Bi Xiu’s heart. He pinched Fu Ya’s body and said: “Then he’s just a petty person! If it was not for this general falling for his words, how could I have urged the country’s ruler to attack Da Shun?!” Upon bringing this up, Bi Xiu’s anger soared. That damn Xuan Tian Mo, if there came a day when he fell into his hands, he would definitely use all of the various torture techniques in the world to deal with that person to help alleviate the anger in his heart.
The anger in Bi Xiu soared, and he immediately turned to press Fu Ya below him. Pain coursed through Fu Ya’s body; however, she did not dare to refuse. She just pleaded: “General must be gentle with this servant. This servant does not want to be sent to a red tent to be a military prostitute. This servant just wants to be at general’s side.”
Bi Xiu snorted and said: “Don’t worry, based on your face, this general will not let someone else touch you so easily. Quickly take care of this general. Tomorrow, this general will properly take you as a concubine. In this military camp, you will be a woman that belongs to this general alone!”
Fu Ya’s eyes lit up, and she quickly said: “General, don’t worry. This servant will definitely take good care of you.” After saying this, she quickly leaned close to him, and the two melted together. At this time, Fu Ya quietly whispered into Bi Xiu’s ear: “General, for the time being, think of this servant as Imperial Daughter Ji An! Right now, it’s Da Shun’s Imperial Daughter Ji An that’s below you, and the person that you are holding is the ninth prince’s, Xuan Tian Ming’s, woman. General, doesn’t thinking like this have a unique flavor?”
