Chapter 505: Each Going Own Way
Following behind Li Hong Yuan, Jing Wan covered her mouth laughing. However, it was also just this, no longer mentioning Fu Yun Ting in the slightest, just fearing that a certain someone will get provoked and unreasonably go cause trouble for Fu Yun Ting.
Speaking of which, Fu Yun Ting ultimately was innocent. He was already getting targeted by Jin Qinwang for no reason. If she were to deliberately use him to provoke a certain someone, then he will really be too miserable. Moreover, when time comes, it probably won’t just be Fu Yun Ting alone suffering. Nine times out of ten, she will probably suffer too.
However, because of this little incident, looking at Jing Wan’s current appearance, that invisible influence seemingly weakened quite a bit.
They continued strolling around the army camp. The army camp needed to accommodate several thousand people, including eating, sleeping, training, and so on. Thus, as one can gather, the area occupied by the entire camp will be quite significant.
Li Hong Yuan led along Jing Wan, saying some trivial things, from time to time, introducing to Jing Wan the various layouts of the camp, such as what goes where, and what functions they possess. Towards these, he had quite the understanding. Without even approaching, just glancing from afar, he can just immediately say a few things. However, based on his nitpicky nature, as well as finding Fu Yun Ting unpleasant to the eyes in all kinds of ways, the living Enma just nitpicked at every step, where and where was not right, where and where wasn’t done well, etc.
Jing Wan inwardly found it funny, but solemnly nodded along on the surface. This man nitpicked with an indifferent tone, doing something petty with a serious face. For those that don’t know, perhaps would even think that Jin Qinwang was really impressive, even paying attention to these details. Need to note down. Next time, they can’t make the same mistake. For instance, that soldier that has been following by their side the whole time precisely thought this.
———Just, wasn’t it said that the other party was just a qinwang? How come he was this familiar with the things inside the camp? One has to know, in Qi Yuan, it’s not that there were never special cases of a prince holding military power before, but those were all special circumstances. Once they withdraw the troops and return to court, the military power will immediately be handed over.
And this wangye, reasonably speaking, shouldn’t know about the camp’s layout at all. These weren’t things that he should come in contact with, yet he recounted as if it was his own courtyard, casually explaining.

Carefully thinking it over, it was very frightening! The accompanying soldier quickly had the thought in mind tossed out. Some things cannot be contemplated. In any case, he was just a foot soldier. How the people in the capital were, what did it have to do with him?
And for Jing Wan who was very well aware of her own husband’s personality, knowing his true emotions, wasn’t it precisely amusing.
However, Jing Wan still learned quite a few things from Li Hong Yuan’s narration, and can be considered to have gained first-hand knowledge, broadening her horizon, unconsciously producing a trace of grandness, bubbling with a certain kind of mood.
Once they finished strolling through half the camp, the great majority of the tents had all gotten dismantled.
TN: All
Shortly after, Li Hong Yuan ordered someone to have his precious horse brought over, taking Jing Wan to a nearby mountaintop in a casual pace. Although it wasn’t especially tall, the view was very broad, more than enough to have the battlefield previously completely taken in.
At this very moment, the battlefield still hasn’t been cleaned up. Although those people, regardless whether it was the ones lying on the ground, or the ones dragging the corpses, they were all very tiny, just like a small black dot. The visual impact seemingly wasn’t considered heavy, but one’s sense seemingly rose several hundred times in sensitivity, like a gust of somber and desolate air of cruelty directly hitting the face.
Jing Wan shivered, not knowing whether it was because of feeling cold, or getting affected.
Li Hong Yuan had Jing Wan taken into his arms, seemingly wanting to dispel the ‘chilliness’ for Jing Wan.
“Only when one is strong to the point where no dares to challenge, can there finally be peace.”
Jing Wan understood what he was saying. As such, “I know, I know….”
Shortly after, the two of them no longer spoke, just that quietly embracing, looking into the distance, that sky, that mountain, that battlefield.
Unknown as to how long had passed, Jing Wan reached out to poke Li Hong Yuan, “Ah Yuan, the smell on you is really unpleasant to death, quickly go back. If you don’t properly wash a few more times, having the smell on you washed away cleanly, then prepared to sleep in another room tonight.”
Li Hong Yuan looked down at Jing Wan who had ‘disdain’ clearly written on her face, soundlessly laughing.
When going back, they no longer slowed down their pace. As such, it was very quick.
Because Li Hong Yuan was present, there didn’t need to be that many people guarding by Jing Wan’s side. As such, more people were left behind to help take care of the injured. Jing Wan was unable to help, so could only temporarily have the matter pressed down inside, waiting until tomorrow to see the specifics, and at the same time, learn about the casualties.
However, ever since coming to the northwest, the times the two of them have been intimate have actually lessened. One has to know, during every rite of Duke Zhou, majority of the times, it was all Li Hong Yuan taking the lead, and right now, he seemingly had the intention of reducing the number of times. At night, it was merely just sleeping in embrace, not doing the most intimate thing, but their hearts were still connected in the most intimate way.
The next day, Jing Wan hurriedly rushed to the ‘injured soldier camp’ after the morning meal. The injured soldiers from yesterday should’ve all been sent over. As the number of people in the injured camp increased more and more, Jing Wan felt that she can still do a bit of something.
Li Hong Yuan this time didn’t follow along. After that battle, it was obvious, he still needed to do some things. Even though the plan against West Xiongnu’s Daxian Wang was already slowly unfolding, this kind of thing still needed a period of time to ferment. However, it didn’t mean that the living Enma had nothing to do. Just based on Fu Yun Ting’s current broken body, he naturally still needed to rely on Li Hong Yuan overseeing from behind. Of course, it wasn’t for the sake of making up for his own mistake, but merely not wishing for his own plans to get dragged down by Fu Yun Ting.
Fu Yun Ting who got shot while lying down, upon seeing Jin Qinwang, just felt his body ache even more.
