Chapter 343 My Heartfelt Blessings to You
Xing Fuhua didn't answer, but just stared coldly at Sikong Jin, but the gloomy atmosphere around her dissipated slightly.
Sikong Jin chuckled dryly a few more times, "Princess, find someone to fall in love with, like..."
"To be a pair of adulterers like you and Di Beizun?"
Xing Fuhua said coldly.
"Huh? Oh, yes, yes, you two... oh no, Princess, you and your future lover are like a pair of lovebirds in the sky, while I, I and Di Beizun are the ones who are... you know..."
Xing Fuhua stared coldly at Sikong Jin, her hazy eyes revealing a suppressed anger. "Sikong Jin, I really want to kill you with one blow to vent my anger!"
Sikong Jin nodded vigorously. "Yes, Your Highness, I know I was wrong. I'm so sorry. I deserve to go to hell! If this will make you feel better, then come on over. I won't resist. Even if you put a knife to my throat right now, I won't resist..."
As he spoke, he stood motionless, silently watching Xing Fuhua.
Xing Fuhua's eyes glistened with tears as she looked at Sikong Jin in this state, feeling an overwhelming pain and sorrow in her heart.
Just a moment ago, all her beautiful hopes still existed.
She dreamed that one day, the man she deeply loved would marry her in a grand ceremony and make her his true wife.
When she learned that he was coming, she was overjoyed. Long ago, his joys and sorrows had become her joys and sorrows.
Because she always wanted to share his burden, she didn't hesitate to put aside her princess-like airs and travel back and forth between the military camp and the border, constantly making herself stronger, thinking that only in this way could she better follow him, and perhaps in the future, they could fight side by side on the battlefield to protect their home and country. But now, all her wishes and dreams have been shattered...
Her heart ached unbearably. Seeing Sikong Jin's calm demeanor, she angrily drew the soft sword from her waist and pointed it directly at Sikong Jin. "Do you think I wouldn't dare? Sikong Jin, I'll kill you right now!"
Sikong Jin stared at her intently, his gaze passing over the cold sword and lingering in her beautiful eyes. He couldn't help but sigh, "I'm sorry, the situation forced me to do this. If this can vent your anger, then go ahead and do it."
She gently closed her eyes, letting Xing Fuhua's trembling sword tip slash across her fair neck. She felt something warm spreading down her throat, yet she didn't even flinch.
It's better to talk things out. This secret was going to be revealed sooner or later anyway. If we have to wait until everyone knows, it's better to tell her now. Although we've never had any marital relationship, this kind girl has always been there for her for a very long time. For that alone, no matter how much resentment she expresses today, it's not excessive.
Seeing the bright red blood flowing from Sikong Jin's neck, Xing Fuhua's delicate hand holding the soft sword trembled, and large tears began to fall. Finally, she couldn't help but lower her hand, turn around, swing the sword forward, and run away in a panic...
Hearing the receding footsteps, Sikong Jin slowly opened her eyes, calmly watching the figure disappear into the twilight ahead, a hint of desolation appearing on her beautiful face.
She knew that what was receding into the distance was not only Xing Fuhua's desolate figure, but also a pure and innocent affection.
Xing Fuhua's feelings for Sikong Jin deeply moved her, but, unfortunately, she ultimately couldn't give her anything in return, so...
She sighed sadly, looking in the direction where Xing Fuhua had disappeared, and could only whisper, "Hua'er, I sincerely wish you well. No matter what, I am still the Jin-gege who protects you, just as you have silently protected me for so many years."
Xing Fuhua is a good girl. Thinking about it, all these years, the best years of her life have been wasted in this waiting...
Sikong Jin, you really are a scoundrel!
With a helpless sigh, he looked up at the crescent moon in the night sky, a surge of restlessness rising in his chest. Finally, he stopped thinking about anything, leaned back, and fell into the lake…
Sikong Jin took a refreshing cold shower. When she returned to the military camp, it was already late at night. She asked the soldiers at the gate and learned that Xing Fuhua had already returned to the camp, which put her at ease.
There's no time to worry about anything now. If Xing Fuhua, feeling aggrieved, were to reveal this matter, there would be nothing she could do. She could only make more plans. If things came to this, she would truly have no choice but to...
The next morning, just as Lord Sikong awoke, a soldier came to report—
General Feng Yang, Commander of the Imperial Guards of the Great Zhou Dynasty, requests an audience!
Sikong Jin quickly washed and tidied herself up before letting Feng Yang in.
"What did you say? Your army isn't going to enter Hangu City with our Dayong forces?"
Sikong Jin looked at Feng Yang with some surprise and asked.
Now that the main force has returned in triumph, theoretically, they should all enter the city together to hold a victory banquet before bidding farewell to the Great Zhou army. Moreover, they should wait for the imperial city to send some gifts to express their gratitude.
"Lord Yukichi has already sent a messenger on an urgent 800-li journey to send news of our army's triumphant return back to the capital of our Great Yong. General Feng and his brothers of Great Zhou have traveled a long distance and have just experienced such a great battle. They are exhausted and weary. Why not rest for a few days and return when they are fully recovered?"
Sikong Jin stared at Feng Yang thoughtfully.
Feng Yang clasped his hands slightly and smiled, “Lord Sikong, you may not know this, but His Majesty always requires his subordinates to be efficient in their work. Now that the crisis at Hangu Pass has been resolved, there is no need for us to linger any longer. We need to return to Da Zhou as soon as possible, so we will not enter the city with the brothers of Dayong. We just hope to rest here for another day and then continue our journey to return to Da Zhou immediately.”
Sikong Jin frowned slightly, paused for a moment, and finally nodded, "Alright then, I will report to Lord Koki Ten."
She always had a vague feeling that something was not right. Di Beizun was known for his exceptional wisdom and cunning, which even she found hard to understand. Who knew what kind of mischief he was planning to do this time?
However, we really need to thank him for successfully resolving the crisis at Hangu Pass this time!
After thinking for a moment, Sikong Jin said with a complicated expression, "General Feng, please go back and thank His Majesty for me..."
"Lord Sikong, His Majesty said that if you truly wish to thank him, you must take some concrete actions..."
Feng Yang forced himself to say it, and only then did Lord Sikong belatedly realize what Ji Wuge had said. Just as he was about to speak, Feng Yang stood up, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Lord Sikong, I have other matters to attend to in the army, so I will take my leave first!"
