Chapter 1417 - 1412: Forcing a Deal!
Lu Yuanfeng and Xing Beichen hadn’t sat down like this to chat for a long time.Xing Beichen considered it a rare opportunity, as Lu Yuanfeng’s attitude was neither cold nor indifferent.
Moreover... previously, it was he in the kitchen, while Fengzi was on the training field.
Since he went to the training field, Fengzi remained forever in the kitchen.
Xing Beichen always felt a bit guilty, knowing well that these things might have nothing to do with him, but he just felt guilty!
The two who came together ended up in such different circumstances.
Moreover, Fengzi had his own matters to attend to.
In short, Xing Beichen didn’t feel good.
"No!" Lu Yuanfeng shook his head.
He just no longer believed what the commander said.
"Then you... then why?"
The words about indifference, Xing Beichen dared not say.
Afraid that Lu Yuanfeng might misunderstand that he was showing off.
"Why so indifferent?" Lu Yuanfeng asked.
"Yes! Fengzi, you and I have always been brothers without secrets, but now I always feel like there’s something hidden in your heart, as if you don’t want me to get close!"
Xing Beichen spoke truthfully.
He wasn’t a fool, and he noticed Lu Yuanfeng’s change.
"It’s nothing! These days, don’t plan any leave to Xing City. Who knows, we might need your leave!" Lu Yuanfeng said.
Everyone in the camp has half a day off each month.
Since Lu Yuanfeng came here, he hadn’t used a single one.
When Shuangshuang comes, he thinks he can squeeze out a day and a half to accompany her.
"Why? Do you want to take me to town to buy something? Or are you missing something?" Xing Beichen asked, puzzled.
"In a while, you’ll understand!" Lu Yuanfeng said.
He wore a rarely seen smile, a smile Xing Beichen last saw when Lu Yuanfeng was writing a letter to Shuangshuang.
He suddenly remembered what Mu Shuangshuang had said before.
If I miss Fengzi, I’ll come to the Northwest!
Could it be, it’s true?
"Fengzi... have you been in contact with Shuangshuang? Or did you communicate by letter?"
Xing Beichen was very excited.
Almost jumping up and grabbing Lu Yuanfeng by the shirt.
"No, I haven’t contacted Shuangshuang!"
Letter communication was inconvenient.
The location of the camp couldn’t be exposed, and even if letters were sent to Xing City, Lu Yuanfeng might not get them, so after sending one letter, he never sent another.
"Then how do you know for sure she’s coming?" Xing Beichen was puzzled.
"If I say Shuangshuang will definitely come, you won’t believe me, but it’s okay, just keep your leave!"
Lu Yuanfeng didn’t say much, and Xing Beichen couldn’t ask anything more.
Seeing it was getting late, thinking about the next day’s training, he took his leave from Lu Yuanfeng.
As soon as he left, Wen Nantian’s deputy general came to invite Lu Yuanfeng.
After leaving Lu Yuanfeng for about a month, Wen Nantian thought it was time.
Upon entering the command tent again, the withered fruits seen last time were gone.
Lu Yuanfeng was still wearing the thin clothes from autumn.
In this already cold Northwest, it was quite uncomfortable.
But his cotton clothing was saved for the snow, enduring the cold for now.
"Fengzi, are you accustomed to the kitchen?"
Wen Nantian observed Lu Yuanfeng for a long time after he entered the tent.
He found that this period hadn’t extinguished his spirit.
Furthermore, the man seemed even more energetic!
"I’m used to it, but I always think about returning to the training field!" Lu Yuanfeng replied honestly.
Wen Nantian was very pleased with this answer.
"Fengzi, there are some things I don’t want to make clear! However, what I said before, you can actually reconsider.
My daug... my niece, in terms of looks and knowledge, is impeccable, and she’s been in Xing City for quite some time. If you wish to see her..."
"Commander, I don’t want to meet her!" Lu Yuanfeng interrupted Wen Nantian.
His attitude remained firm as always.
There will be only one person for him, and he will only marry one person.
And that’s Shuangshuang!
"Lu Yuanfeng, you’re ungrateful! If you don’t want, many are willing!" Wen Nantian shouted.
He was very angry, thinking that as a dignified Great General, wasn’t just finding a son-in-law?
Is it that hard?
Moreover, the person in front of him was just a poor lad.
Marrying his daughter, within three to five years, would make him the commander naturally, isn’t that good?
Or does he want to start as an unknown soldier, like when he first entered the camp five years ago, putting life and death aside?
"Then find someone willing! My heart belongs to someone already, and meeting your niece would be unfair to her!"
Lu Yuanfeng spoke with a tone neither humble nor overbearing.
The tenacity and determination in these words were unmatched by ordinary people.
"You... alright, Lu Yuanfeng, you’re a piece of rotten wood! Since you want to remain an unknown soldier, be an unknown soldier for life! Get out!"
Wen Nantian shouted.
Lu Yuanfeng saluted Wen Nantian and left the tent without saying another word.
Wen Nantian was furious, thinking Lu Yuanfeng would at least say something, but he said nothing.
After Lu Yuanfeng left, the deputy general entered again.
He approached Wen Nantian, comforting him, "Commander, don’t be angry, this lad is very stubborn, perhaps he hasn’t faced enough hardship!
Let’s leave him alone for a few more days, then promote Xing Beichen a few ranks. When he sees the comparison, he might lose his balance, and that will be the time he bows his head!"
"Hmph, don’t you think I know that? That kid is stubborn and rigid, he won’t agree to this! If Ya’er wasn’t getting older and that kid didn’t have good character, I would’ve..."
Wen Nantian quickly shook his head.
"General, don’t say that, when choosing a son-in-law, one should select the best! The eldest lady is not only beautiful and likable, but also skilled in martial arts.
It’s Lu Yuanfeng who benefits from marrying her! That lad, probably seeing too many wildflowers in the village, doesn’t know how good the peonies in the garden are!"
The deputy general’s words strengthened Wen Nantian’s resolve to marry his daughter to Lu Yuanfeng.
"You’re right, the kid hasn’t seen Ya’er, so he doesn’t know her worth! If he meets her, who knows, he might never mention that village woman again!
Quickly arrange for Ya’er to visit the camp, and if possible, let the lad take Ya’er for a tour! And remind Ya’er that the kid is skilled and can be casually challenged!"
After Wen Nantian’s words, the deputy general’s face broke into a wide grin.
"General, you’re right, leave this matter to me! The eldest lady has always admired strength, so if the kid performs well, she might favor him!"
As the deputy general spoke, he immediately felt the matter was as good as settled.
As if Lu Yuanfeng would indeed take a fancy to Wen Nantian’s daughter!
Wen Nantian was also very pleased.
The two discussed and finally decided to arrange and handle the matter this way!
