Chapter 102
It was only when they reached a small shop on the street that Leng Yufeng stopped and let go of the crown prince’s hand. He brought a stool over to wipe it clean.
This was the shadow play, she knew but she had never seen it before. She looked at Leng Yuefeng, who was sitting beside her, and seemed to like Shang Wuxin, who was also watching with Leng Yufeng.
Looking at the people on the curtain, fighting nonstop, Leng Yufeng turned his head and said, “When I was young, I liked to sneak out here to watch shadow play. Every time after shadow play ends, I would be reluctant to leave, but after gradually growing up, I don’t care anymore. Today, I want to take a look. Do you like it?”
Those days were painful for him, who was still a child. He did not want to return to the General’s Estate, but he had nowhere else to go. At that time, he would just stand here and watch the legendary stories behind the curtain. Later on, he gained his own power and power and was no longer interested in the so-called story. But now, by the crown prince’s side, he wanted to reminisce about the past. The painful and helpless past had become worthless because of the crown prince.
“Not bad!” “Yu Feng did not want to become a general because he saw these stories, did he?” I thought that Yu Feng did not care about these things in his youth. ”
Leng Yufeng was a little embarrassed, as if he had never liked to smile since he was young. Ever since his mother died, he had stopped smiling, but who would have thought that the crown prince would actually say that he was mature in his youth. Leng Yufeng began to think about whether he should laugh more in the future, after all, his good friend seemed to be smiling all the time.
“To want to become a general is to obtain power, and this shadow play is a kind of Legend that I coveted when I was young!” Leng Yufeng let the Crown Prince see his ambition. He couldn’t hide his thoughts from the Crown Prince. If he hadn’t met the Crown Prince, he would have been on the battlefield for the rest of his life.
The shadow play was over, and the stall owner had begun to pack up. Shang Wuxin extended her hand in front of Leng Yufeng, who was stunned and did not know what the crown prince was thinking. Shang Wuxin did not bother with small hands, and immediately took out some silver coins from Leng Yufeng’s sleeve and left the street with Leng Yufeng, who was already stunned.
The two of them returned to the crown prince’s mansion together. Everyone was resting now. Leng Yufeng sent the crown prince back to his bedroom and asked, “Will you still remember me after I leave?” If there was any delay in going to the border, he would only come back after a few years. When that time came, the people would be different.
Shang Wuxin shook her head, “Yufeng, I cannot guarantee anything, but I can guarantee that I will remember you no matter what!” I remember that a foolish man like you had been injured for himself, and had cooked for himself. I remember that there was a man who made me feel warm.
Just as Shang Wuxin was about to return to her bedroom, a strong force pulled her away. Shang Wuxin’s fingers moved slightly to hold back her killing intent, and she was pulled into a warm embrace that smelled of grass, a cautious voice sounded beside her ear, “You said you won’t forget me!”
However, Leng Yufeng had left in an instant. This was a farewell …
Leng Yufeng had just returned to his own courtyard in the crown prince’s mansion when he saw his subordinate standing there. When he saw Leng Yufeng, he hurriedly stepped forward, “General, the old general just sent someone to invite the general to return immediately!”
Leng Yufeng was not surprised that his father would let him return to the manor. Looking at Leng Yufeng, he said, “General, it’s better not to return to the manor. So what if the general doesn’t want to return?” “Besides, the general is going to the border in the future, so don’t affect his mood!”
Leng Yufeng sneered, “The Leng Clan will no longer affect this general’s mood. Only …” Leng Yufeng looked at the crown prince’s residence. Currently, the only person that could affect his mood was the youth from the crown prince’s residence.
Leng Yufeng took advantage of the night to leave the crown prince’s residence and directly returned to the Leng Residence. As soon as he entered the Leng Residence, he saw the butler and servants all looking at Leng Yufeng with fear in their eyes, bowing everywhere they went. The Leng Residence was still filled with prestige because of Leng Yufeng, so everyone in the mansion was respectful, even those concubines who saw Leng Yufeng had their tails tucked between their legs.
He had just walked into the Leng Residence’s Old General Leng Yufeng’s father’s yard and saw that Leng Tiantian was standing beside the Old General with red eyes. There was also a brother Leng Zi, who was Leng Yufeng’s concubine, standing by the Old General’s side.
“Old General!” Moreover, he might not even return once in a few years. Now, he only came back to see how his so-called father was doing; after all, Huan Mecha had already finished handling his family matters, so he naturally wasn’t willing to fall behind.
“Hmph!” “But I haven’t seen him for a few years, and he doesn’t even know how to shout at me anymore?” The old general sat on the wheelchair and berated his own son. He was also a child that he loathed. His expression showed that he hated every single father who doted on his son.
“This general doesn’t know that this general has a father. This general’s military exploits and status are all snatched by this general himself. Could it be that this old general has crippled his legs and even his brain?”
“Bastard!” The old general was so angry that he began to cough. Beside him, Leng Tiantan hurriedly helped the old general out of his anger and comforted him incessantly. The attitude of his children was very obvious.
“Big brother, father is in poor health to begin with. How can you be so angry at your father?” Even though Leng Zi admired his big brother a lot, he was still very jealous of the way the crown prince and big brother were together.
Leng Yufeng looked at Leng Zi and said, “This is your father, not this general’s father!” When he was young, he had been envious of this little brother who could be loved by his father more than once, but now, he didn’t feel the slightest bit of it.
“Just now, Tensing said that you intentionally made a fool out of you by watching the crown prince in the restaurant, right?” “How can you be so heartless? Furthermore, when you were in the crown prince’s mansion, you were actually a guard. As your older brother, you shouldn’t have gotten a good job for your son, right?”
“This old general is so arrogant. Why should I, this general, work for Leng Zi, and why should I save a woman who has such a stinky mouth?” Leng Yufeng said without mercy, “If you provoke the Crown Prince again in the future, this general will personally take your life!”
Leng Than moved closer to the old general in fear, while Leng Zi was also upset by her big brother’s indifference. He couldn’t stop shouting, “What right do you have to treat your cousin like that?” “You are my eldest brother, the legitimate son of the Leng Residence. How can you follow behind the crown prince like a dog to harm your family?!”
Leng Yufeng’s palm shot out to knock Leng Zi to the ground, causing the old general to cry out in pain, “Zizi!” Looking at Leng Zi, the old general stood up and scolded his son angrily, “You bastard! You should have been strangled to death when you were born!”
“What a pity, the old general actually didn’t strangle this general to death back then, but that’s true. Back then, you needed the help of your mother’s and her family, so how could you strangle me to death?” Leng Yufeng was still angry when he heard about his mother.
Later on, his father married his mother, a noble family’s young lady. Later on, he learned that his father married his mother only for the sake of his mother’s family’s influence and that he married his mother without love or care for his mother. He let his aunt hurt his mother every time, and his mother painstakingly gave birth to him and brought him up. But when he was five years old, because his mother’s family had fallen, that aunt had actually killed his mother. His so-called father knew but didn’t say a word, and that aunt was Leng Zi’s mother.
It was a pity that the concubine did not remain complacent for long. Not long after her mother had passed away, the concubine had also died. Even the old general did not know why the concubine had died, but Leng Yufeng knew that it was his mother’s doing. His mother had left a letter for him, but Leng Yufeng only found out that his mother had always known about the old general and aunt’s intentions to kill her. Therefore, she had always been wary and poisoned her every month to get the antidote.
After that, Leng Yufeng entered the army camp at a young age. What he needed was to be strong enough to protect himself. His years in the army camp had been exhausting, but he was slowly getting used to it. But then something happened that made Leng Yufeng’s heart turn cold towards his father. The old general was trapped when the enemy came to strike, and he was trapped, but his father had used his own target to fend off the enemy fighting, and he had been seriously wounded and almost died in that war.
His father didn’t feel the slightest bit guilty about that incident, and Leng Yufeng had also silently started to build a meritorious military base. Later on, the old general destroyed his legs in a war and was unable to walk anymore, so he naturally became the youngest general. No one knew that the old general’s leg injury was actually caused by him. Ever since the old general used himself as a shield, he had already started plotting, and he had succeeded!
“Do you have to go against me like this?” The old general’s voice broke Leng Yufeng’s memories.
Leng Yufeng glanced at Leng Zi and Leng Than and directly threw the two of them out of the room, before sitting opposite the old general, “Old General, do you remember the time when you were afraid of death and blocked your son’s sword in front of you?”
“You …” You’ve been holding a grudge against your father! ” The old general said with some fear. After all, he was no longer the majestic general he once was, but the old general who depended on his son’s name to live on.
“The old general’s legs …” Leng Yufeng laughed arrogantly, but it made the old general feel like he was struck by lightning.
“It’s you …” It’s you. “You unfilial son!” The old general continuously gasped for breath. His entire life had been dragged down by his legs, but the culprit was actually his son, whom he had always looked down upon.
“In the future, if the old general is able to live peacefully in your old age, you will still be the old general of Shang Country. Otherwise, this general will not care about adding another piece of wood to the Leng Clan’s ancestral hall!” With that, Leng Yufeng left the Leng Residence. He knew that the old general was more reluctant to part with his wealth and wealth than to part with it. The facts proved that Leng Yufeng’s conjecture was correct.
