The Birth of a Villainess

Emperor Yun, who was clanly sitting on his throne and listening to his court officials recount what happened during the war between the two kingdoms, had no knowledge of this and might have an early death from a heart attack once he saw the long lines of baskets field with poppy flowers outside his courtyard.

But this was story to be told later on.

The journey back to the Capital was long and very hard as well. The first time they rode towards Henzhou City was still okay since everyone was still very energetic. However, after a long month of war and fights, it will eventually wear out even some of the strongest men in their company. This was true to the soldiers who fight day and night without rest and camped outside the gates of the city to ensure that the enemy army wouldn't take the time when they're not clear headed to sneak inside. Hence, everyone was lacking of sleep and only wished they could arrive quickly to her homes and lay in their bed and sleep the whole day.

Inside the carriage, Lin Xiaofei also noticed this and obviously, Qu Xing Xu also knew this. But it wasn't unexpected.

If it were a few years back then when his own soldiers and army were still active in battles in war, they wouldn't be so weary and tired. But it has been years since he went to an actually war again so this kind of ending wasn't so unexpected.

Of course, he also knew that no matter how tired his men were feeling right now, their vigilance were still very high and any moment they noticed something out of the ordinary, they would strike out like an anxious and panicked beasts.

When evening arrived, everyone stopped in the middle of the forest to rest. It wasn't good to travel at night without the light of the sun and there was also the danger of unknown and hungry beasts lurking in the dark. This, everyone tacitly stopped all their actions and rested their bodies.

However, the peaceful night that many was still enjoying suddenly broke as a fight broke out between Qu Xing Xu's personal army and the Zheng Empire's soldiers.

The reason why they fought was because of the words that the Zheng soldier had uttered to his fellow Zheng Empire soldiers while thinking that nobody could hear him.

Unfortunately, Qu Xing Xu's men were highly trained and their hearing ability was clearly more advanced and even at a considerable distance, they could hear what he said and was immediately pissed off by what the soldier said and it ended up having the two fight it out.

There was no need to mention who won and lost. Undoubtedly, Qu Xing Xu's men won without even doing much. He just punched and used his talent and skills during the training period and the other was already out of breath and purple from the pain he received.

"F*CK! You guys are being too much! Are all Duke of Xin's people like this? They can even take a joke and beat people to death?"

"That's right! Are you guys looking down on us because we're not armed and dressed as expensive as you all are? Sh*t, if I knew that Duke of Xin trained his men to be like this, I would be so ashamed to show my support for him in public!"

Curses and nasty words flowed out of the mouth of the Zheng Empire's soldiers. Every words, Qu Xing Xu's men's faces would turn dark and ugly as veins bulged out of their forehead. If not because they were still reined by their rationality, they would have already drew their swords and incapacitated all these disgusting people!

During the war, who doesn't know that these Zheng Empire's soldiers had a lot of free time in her hands and was more relaxed than them? Who died more and sacrificed a lot to protect their weak a**ses from being kicked by the Chu army?

And most importantly, what did their ruler, Emperor Yun, did to help and support them during this time? None! All the strategy and battles were thought by Qu Xing Xu's and his generals and brothers in arms. The food that was lost from a fire was recollected and replaced by their Young Madam. And they still have a lot to complain?

How shameless could they be?

Ni Zixuan, Jiang Sheng, and Qi Yandi all saw that the situation was going from bad to worse. They needed to stop this from escalating furthermore and they also realized that Qu Xing Xu's men were about to deal and commit a massacre in the middle of the night and this, timely stepped in before anyone died.

But because of the noise, Lin Xiaofei, who was about to fall asleep was startled awake by the loud sound and noises.

Frowning, she raised her head and asked, "What's happening outside?"

Qu Xing Xu, who was reading a book on the side narrowed his eyes upon seeing that Lin Xiaofei's sleep was disturbed.

"It's nothing." He paused for a second before adding, "Go back to sleep. I'll go outside to take care of it."

Lin Xiaofei didn't have any objections. She hadn't had much of sleep since coming to Henzhou City. A little noise would disturb her easily now and her mood would naturally turn bad.

"Do it silently and quickly." She groggily said, sleep was still not leaving her.

And before Qu Xing Xu's could retreat outside the carriage, he heard her mumble, "Come back early. I'm cold."

Qu Xing Xu caressed his fingers against her cheeks and obviously had to be quicker. His beloved wife wanted him to come back early so he could hug her in his embrace.

After closing the door to the carriage, the gentle and affectionate expression and temper he showed to Lin Xiaofei was wiped off and only a cold and merciless filled his eyes.

Tonight, blood should be spilled for disturbing his wife's sleep.
