Chapter 604: Something Amiss (2)

After taking in all that information, Ji Fengyan kept silent for a period before asking, “How did Song Yuan’s leg injury come about?”

Lu Shaoqing said, “It was a chaotic battle. Lu Shaoqing was fighting demons with another army troop. However, they had underestimated the demons’ combat strength and nearly the entire team was annihilated. Of the 150,000 men who went to battle, only Song Yuan returned alive. Even the Terminator of the other army troops had perished. They found song Yuan with severe injuries and His Majesty had him fetched to the capital for a lengthy medical treatment before he finally recovered. He was thereafter assigned to Ping City.”

150,000 men reduced to nothing in that war. Even the Terminator was not spared. It could only be imagined just how brutal that battle was.

“General, you said that Song Yuan… is there really something wrong with him?” Lu Shaoqing looked uncertainly at Ji Fengyan. He truly hoped that this former hero did not have any skeletons in his closet.

Ji Fengyan shook her head. “I am still not sure for now. We must monitor over the next few days. We will leave if there is nothing untoward.”

Song Yuan knowing about the three-army alliance wasn’t enough for Ji Fengyan to pinpoint just exactly what was wrong with him.

Lu Shaoqing nodded.

Over the course of their conversation, the Han brothers had cleaned up and changed into the new clothes that Linghe had prepared for them. They were presented before Ji Fengyan.

Ji Fengyan was just speaking with Lu Shaoqing when she suddenly saw those two fair and tender-skinned boys standing in front of her. She gave an involuntary start.Read more chapter on NovelFull

Han Xiao and Han Xiao were covered in blood and dirt at the point of their rescue. Now after washing off all the debris, the true faces of the two brothers were revealed right before everyone.

Han Xiao’s calm face held a gentle aura. He had been protecting his younger brother from beginning till end. Meanwhile, Han Yu appeared more dainty and fresh-faced. He was also attractively sloe-eyed.

Both kids were delicate in build. They could even be mistaken as two little princes after changing into their new set of clothes. Only the uneasiness in their eyes betrayed their circumstances. Standing nervously before Ji Fengyan, they didn’t even know where to place their hands.

“Didn’t know that these two could actually be so good-looking.” Linghe chuckled as he stood behind the boys.

Ji Fengyan was also surprised. The duo looked as if they had been carved from jade and very pleasing to the eyes.

Nevertheless…

They were still not as good as her Liu Huo.

“Not bad, but they are a bit too skinny. They need to be well taken care of.” Ji Fengyan nodded.

Ji Fengyan’s tactful comment caused those little faces to blush, triggering another loud laugh from Linghe. Under Ji Fengyan’s helpless expression, Linghe hurriedly ushered those silly boys to take a rest.

Taking advantage of the remaining daylight, Ji Fengyan went for a walk around Ping City with Lu Shaoqing. She wanted to see if there were any clues within the area.

Ping City was extremely safe and secure. Its citizens lived and worked in peace—unlike people surviving in a danger zone.

“The governing of Ping City has made it a very peaceful place.” Lu Shaoqing surveyed the passers-by. There were quite a number of patrolling guards, as well as soldiers standing guard upon the walls. It was obvious that Song Yuan had brought his military experience into the governing of Ping City.

Ji Fengyan shrugged without a word. Just as they passed by a restaurant entrance, a commotion attracted their attention.
