After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine Chapter 65
The sun was rising high. Wei Kai was guarding the small clay stove, watching the medicine for Li Changning.
He fanned the fire with a fan, and glanced at the bed from time to time, watching as silver needles were gradually inserted into his General’s legs, one by one, faintly glowing in the daylight.
He felt a bit creeped out, looking at them from a distance.
What would it feel like to have so many needles stuck in your body? The mere imagination of these things greeting his body made Wei Kai’s spine tingle.
However, he had always had a blind confidence in his General, as if believing in a God.
From the time he had followed their General, what could the General not do well? What hurdle could their General not overcome?
None.
Even their capture this time after crossing the river was because of problems in the army of the Northern Liang, not because of their General.
Reminded of this, Wei Kai’s mood was a bit heavy.
Wu Qianfan.
Wei Kai and Wu Qianfan were formerly the old Marquis’s men. After the Marquis was killed in battle, the two of them followed the General and could be considered the General’s right-hand men.
Others were stupid, but Wu Qianfan was much smarter than him. Wu Qianfan had always performed more appropriately on the things entrusted to them.
Because of this, he followed the General’s side when they crossed the river this time, while the subsequent hundreds of thousands of troops were entrusted to Wu Qianfan. According to their plan, they would lead their troops to cross the river overnight and lay in ambush outside the Southern Jing city. After which, Wu Qianfan would lead the army. After the large force crossed the river, the General would command the attack.
However, the Southern Jing had somehow armed in defense in advance, and trapped them south of the river. And they hadn’t heard a word from Wu Qianfan, who should have led his troops to follow them.
Did something go wrong?
Wei Kai and Wu Qianfan were both orphans adopted by the old marquis in Yangguan. They grew up together, so he had no doubt about Wu Qianfan’s character. As he fought to stay alive and led the few remaining troops around to gather information, he also spied on information from the Northern Liang all the time.
Perhaps they encountered an ambush when crossing the river. Or did a turbulence occur in the river, sweeping them into some sort of situation?
But there was no news at all.
Wei Kai gradually got lost in thought while watching over the medicine stove until a crisp voice broke the silence in the room.
“His Highness Jingwang is here,” a servant girl came in to report.
Wei Kai was startled, and he quickly looked at Li Changning. Then he found that Li Changning had almost finished inserting the needles, and was now also looking at him.
Li Changning waved his hand at him.
Wei Kai hurriedly looked in the direction he indicated, and saw that the medicinal soup on the stove had started to boil.
He hurriedly brought the medicinal soup from the stove.
While they were busy, footsteps arriving at the door sounded. They both looked up and found Jingwang, who was gracefully wrapped in a dark cloak, walking straight into the room.
Wei Kai followed Li Changning and bowed to him.
But before they could kneel down, Jingwang waved his hand slightly and said, “Get up. Get on with what you’re doing. I have nothing better to do, so I just came to take a look.”
Wei Kai sneaked a peek at him.
He watched as Jingwang walked to the bedside. He only took a glance at their General’s legs, and then quickly withdrew his gaze. With a short glance, Wei Kai surmised that Jingwang was scared by the silver needles on their General’s legs, so much so that he didn’t dare to look at them directly.
Wei Kai sneered inwardly.
Hmph, these Southern Jing bigwigs were always like him, extremely ruthless but cowardly. They didn’t even know how many people they had harmed, but in reality, they couldn’t even look at a shed of blood.
His kind was the most annoying paper tiger.
How could he compare to our General? He’s hurt and got needles stuck in his legs, but his expression remains unchanged, and he keeps his eyes closed…
Um? General?
Wei Kai inwardly lauded, but then his eyes accidentally fell on the General’s face.
The General, who had been quietly closing his eyes, opened his eyes at some point. Although his face was hidden under the curtains, Wei Kai happened to be standing in the corner and could see him through the gap in the curtains.
He saw through the heavy brocade curtains that their General was actually looking at Jingwang.
Wei Kai had never known that his ice-cold and arrogant black eyes could actually…surprisingly could show such a look.
It was as if he had been looking forward to meeting Jingwang, but at the same time, wanted to conceal this emotion. Although he was expressionless, Wei Kai vaguely felt that he seemed a little happy. However, it was mixed with what felt like a trace of resentment, with a thousand twists and turns that made his eyes particularly deep.
Wei Kai froze in place.
At that moment, he heard Li Changning’s voice.
“Silly boy, what has got you dazed?”
Only after receiving Li Changning’s lecture did Wei Kai come back to his senses. He realized that Li Changning had walked up to him at some point and carried the pot of medicine away.
Li Changning walked away with a smile and explained to Jiang Suizhou, “This medicine is meant to nurse Madam’s health. Madam stays in his room all day, so his body is more or less weak. If he doesn’t take medicine, I’m afraid he can’t withstand this level of acupuncture…”
Wei Kai stood in place, his gaze drifting to their General’s face again.
This time, the General was looking at him.
Those obsidian-like eyes were cold and hard, as if the deep hundred twists and turns he saw just now were all his illusion.
With just one glance, it froze Wei Kai awake.
Illusion, he said to himself.
It must have been an illusion.
What deeper meaning could there be when their General looked at Jingwang?
Even if there was, it would be a deep meaning of wanting to kill him in one shot afterwards.
The author has something to say.
