Reborn to Become A Queen: The Real Heiress's Comeback-Chapter 419: Fighting in the Fake Cave!
Chapter 419: Chapter 419: Fighting in the Fake Cave!
Xue Yifeng greatly respects female generals like Zhan Lan.
He never expected the famous female general of Nanjin to be so stunningly beautiful, with an extraordinary temperament.
He glanced at the scar on the back of Zhan Lan’s hand and suddenly felt a bit of sorrow.
For a woman to do so much for her country and people is truly remarkable.
In Xue Yifeng’s heart, a feeling of admiration naturally arose.
Xue Yifeng quickly withdrew his gaze and looked into Zhan Lan’s eyes, "Please speak, Princess."
Zhan Lan’s expression became serious, "Young Master, this request is: Please temporarily refrain from retaliating against the person who deceived you. I have my own ways to make him pay."
Xue Yifeng nodded, "Thank you for your kindness, Princess. The person who made the deal with me will certainly face vengeance from the Poisonous Insect God. As the saying goes in your Nanjin, ’Those who do evil will meet their own end.’ Of course, since the Princess is willing to help, I am deeply grateful."
Zhan Lan looked at Xue Yifeng and smiled generously, "If the Young Master doesn’t mind, you and your sister can stay at the Prince’s Mansion."
Xue Lingling excitedly grabbed her brother’s hand and said, "Brother, let’s stay at the Princess’s mansion for now!"
Xue Yifeng, seeing his sister’s enthusiastic expression, couldn’t bear to disappoint her, so he said, "Thank you for the Princess’s kindness."
He then looked at Xue Lingling and said seriously, "In three days, you will leave with your brother."
Xue Lingling nodded eagerly like a chick pecking at rice, "Okay."
Xue Yifeng had no idea that during his sister’s time away, she had already learned to lie.
"Liu Xi, arrange a guest room for Young Master Xue."
"Yes, Princess!" Liu Xi immediately went to do it.
Huang Gun looked at Zhan Lan and said with a smile, "I also want to stay at the Main General’s mansion!"
Zhan Lan playfully said, "This little master Huang, don’t you have your own residence?"
Huang Gun held his belly and said, "My place is not as grand as the Regent Prince Mansion!"
It was mainly because he was tired of the food at his own place, and the cooks at the mansion were from Baoxiang House. How could the taste be the same?
Huang Gun was indeed the one who understood the joy of freeloading the best!
Zhan Lan shook her head. She still didn’t understand what Huang Gun was thinking, and raised her eyebrows, saying, "You can come to play, but you can’t stay!"
Huang Gun glanced at the sun nearing its zenith, "Main General, it’s almost lunchtime. You have guests, need me to accompany you?"
Zhan Lan raised her eyebrows and said, "Stay then!"
Huang Gun chuckled happily, "Well, I’ll go see Little Black."
Zhan Lan reminded, "Stay away from Little Black, it’s been biting people recently."
Huang Gun suddenly thought of something and said, "You know, sometimes that dog of yours doesn’t seem like a dog at all... Once, I saw it tuck its tail between its legs, like a wolf!"
Zhan Lan’s gaze darkened. In its previous life, Little Black had never hurt a person until the end when it bit a man to protect her mother and Zhan Heng.
After it died, the wolf pack howled for three days and nights. Maybe Little Black really was the offspring of the Wolf King.
Or perhaps it was a hybrid of a wolf and a dog. Although Little Black is dangerous, it only wants to protect those it recognizes.
For instance, Liu Xi has always been taking care of Little Black, so it has deep feelings for her. When it saw Liu Xi asking for help, it rushed forward and bit Bai Chen.
"To teach Little Black a lesson, I’ve tied it up. You can go see it if you want!" Zhan Lan said.
"Oh!" Huang Gun nodded.
Huang Gun left happily.
Zhan Lan looked at Xiao Tao, "Xiao Tao, go and ask when the meal will be ready. We have quite a few guests today."
Xiao Tao replied with a smile, thinking to herself: Indeed, just before Xue Lingling’s brother arrived, someone had secretly come through the back door to say something to the young lady.
And just as they left, another group came.
...
Liu Xi arranged for Xue Yifeng to stay not far from Heir Bai Chen’s guest room.
After she finished arranging everything, she left.
Xue Lingling had been so busy being happy that she forgot to give the candied hawthorn she had been holding to Zhan Lan and Little Vermilion Bird.
"Brother, stay here and don’t run around. I’ll be right back." Xue Lingling left with two candied hawthorns.
Xue Yifeng looked at the name of the courtyard—it was called Plum Shadow Pavilion.
The arrangement here was very elaborate, even the guest rooms were meticulously arranged, with a view at every step.
Moreover, it led directly to the garden, filled with various flowers and plants from Nanjin.
The people of the Poisonous Insect Clan naturally love plants and flowers, and he unknowingly wandered into the garden.
Near the rockery, he was surprised to find some herbs, which could be used to cure diseases individually, but when mixed and refined, could become poison.
No wonder his sister managed to concoct a poison even more potent than Soft Bone Powder in the mansion.
While he was completely absorbed in observing, someone suddenly grabbed him with brute force and pulled him into a cave in the rockery.
Xue Yifeng was quick to react, pinning his opponent’s neck and pressing them against the rock.
The person had tremendous strength and forcefully reversed the position, pinning him against the stone wall instead.
Xue Yifeng counterattacked, grabbing the person’s neck.
"It’s you!" Xue Yifeng saw the face of the opponent and was so angry that his eyes turned red.
He tightened his grip on Dugu Yan’s neck. Her face turned red, and she reached her hand towards his abdomen.
Xue Yifeng had nowhere to retreat, his ears turned red, and he pinned Dugu Yan against the stone again with her neck in his grip.
Dugu Yan’s hands were restrained behind her back, and she turned to see Xue Yifeng’s icy, menacing face.
"Why are you in the mansion?" Dugu Yan furrowed her brows. She heard the Main General was attacked last night and had just seen Zhan Lan in the main house.
Zhan Lan said everything was fine, and sent her away. When she was climbing over the garden wall to leave, she saw the man she had spent the night with last night.
Additionally, since this man had come from the Regent Prince Mansion, Dugu Yan was certain he was there to deal with Zhan Lan.
If he harbored ill intentions, even though they had shared the most intimate moments, Dugu Yan would painfully sever ties and eliminate him.
After all, there are plenty of men in the world, but she only has one Main General!
"I should be asking you, why are you here?" Xue Yifeng pressed his gaze down, increasing the pressure of his grip.
Dugu Yan, in pain, broke free from his hold and struck at his chest with her elbow.
Xue Yifeng knew this woman had divine power, so he dodged swiftly. The two of them fought in the narrow cave.
After more than ten breaths, Dugu Yan was pinned against the stone wall by Xue Yifeng.
Then, Dugu Yan grabbed an inappropriate place in retaliation, causing Xue Yifeng to wince and be shamelessly pinned against the stone by Dugu Yan.
With brute force, Dugu Yan pinned the man down and said, "Speak, who are you? Why did you try to assassinate the Princess, or else I’ll cripple you!"
