Masquerade in Bridal Attire and Marry the Prince

25. Watch the Fight

Translator: Antonia

“Don’t brag, you Turkic boy. Let’s wait and see!” Finishing it, he pressed the horse belly with legs and rushed over.

The two men’s weapons collided and made a loud noise. Du Chuxuan, far away from them, heard it clearly and couldn’t help frowning. The enemy must be a strongman as well as a master since he was able to use his internal strength so flexibly. At this time, the best option to avoid harm was to call Yang Guang back.

“Your Highness, I’m afraid General Yang couldn’t defeat the enemy. Let’s call him back first.” Du Chuxuan glanced around and struggled to make this suggestion when finding nobody was going to say anything.

He was also a little nervous in saying so, because recently he and Yuxing Tianrui had never talked to each other, as if the first one to speak meant giving in. However, at this moment, he must take the initiative.

He wondered what was in this tsundere prince’s mind!

However, from Yuxing Tianrui’s viewpoint, Du Chuxuan wasn’t willing to talk to him but still struggled to speak for that Yang Guang. How could he not be angry?

“He is merely a deputy general. If he couldn’t defeat the enemy, just quit his title. There are loads of capable men in Shenglan who are competent for the position.” He replied and snorted, obviously very upset.

Du Chuxuan touched his nose and muttered silently. Yang Guang, Yang Guang, I did try to help you. I tried my best. Hence, I’ve repaid the favor of you showing me the way the other day.

After thinking in this way, he felt much more at ease and relaxed in watching the battle. However, it was exactly his relaxation that allowed him to smell a rat.

He learned martial arts and certainly knew that a person born with a strong body was a better student of martial arts than those with a smart brain. After all, martial arts meant in one aspect to promote health. Only after the body got stronger was it possible to cultivate more internal strength. It was a mutual-boost process.

At very beginning, he had concluded that Yang Guang couldn’t defeat the enemy, based on the sound created by the collision of their weapons. It was a thick sound, which meant the enemy possessed profound internal strength.

Meanwhile, Yang Guang had had a hard time to deflect his axes. Judging from this very sound, he knew Yang Guang had no chance to win, because there was rarely a case where he was weaker at the first strike and managed to exploit more power later.

Nevertheless, after several rounds, the Turkic general seemed to have lost his strength and made every attack soft and feeble, as if Yang Guang suddenly received heaven’s assistance.

Something was wrong! Du Chuxuan’s eyes turned cold at once. There was really a drama in play, more interesting than what in theaters. He was afraid the actors in the Wengsheng Theater in the capital were no hard-working than these two men.

The Turkic deputy general was truly a strongman and expert in utilizing his internal strength in that he controlled it so well that every attack seemed to have fallen on Yang Guang’s weapon but actually his strength was taken back in the last slitting second.

Yuxing Tianrui didn’t hear any sound from behind him, believing Du Chuxuan was angry, so he stole a glance back at her and saw her thoughtful look. Instantly, he hit the ceiling again. This damn woman.

Eating from the bowl while staring at the pot? What on earth did she like about Yang Guang? The pale face looked like a weak scholar. He’d better return with triumph, or he would have him punished and beaten at the gate of the barracks!

The two generals made a good performance, and the soldiers behind cheered for them. For a time, they were horse and horse, after nearly a hundred rounds, when the Turks beat the drums first to withdraw. Yang Guang, seemingly all sweats after the fight, came back complacently.

“Hahaha, General Yang is really a fierce fighter. I suppose the Turk can’t have a good time for many days afterwards.” Of course General Leng was happy to see his man come back with victory and immediately sang the praise.

The other generals echoed and by the way showed superficial pity on the Turkic general.

Seeing Du Chuxuan still looked absent-minded after Yang Guang came back, Yuxing Tianrui was so jealous, turning away and heading back, without praising General Yang at all.

On the way back, Du Chuxuan occasionally looked over at Yang Guang because he wasn’t sure of his findings. Probably, this man had some relation with the Turks, or the enemy wouldn’t have let him win so easily.

Yet, Du Chuxuan was considering whether to tell Yuxing Tianrui. Would he feel that he had vicious intentions? On the thought of what he had said last time, he was so angry and didn’t want to tell him.

But Yuxing Tianrui didn’t give him the chance at all. As soon as they returned to the barracks, Du Chuxuan was pulled speedily towards his tent the moment he dismounted his horse.

Yuxing Tianrui dashed so fast that, but for his hand closely clasping Du Chuxuan, others would believe that he was going to seek revenge.

Du Chuxuan staggered by his pull. He didn’t notice it when he dismounted the horse, so Yuxing Tianrui now had the upper hand.

However, Du Chuxuan didn’t worry at all because he was sure this tsundere man wouldn’t do anything to him, not to mention that he had such an important news in hand.

“Woman, you’ve really gone too far these days.” Du Chuxuan was thrown into the tent, and Yuxing Tianrui looked around with scrutiny. Since Du Chuxuan’s tent was nearer, so Yuxing Tianrui didn’t want to take the trouble and directly entered this one.

Seeing that everything was placed in the same way as in his tent, he instantly felt a lot better. He knew the woman was playing hard-to-get. Otherwise, why should she arrange everything in the same way as he did even after she moved out?

Being dragged all the way over here, Du Chuxuan only felt his stomach unwell and dizzy after being thrown on the bed. He chose to just lie there, putting on a don’t-come-over-or-I’ll-scream look.

“What are you doing, Your Highness? The barracks is a serious place. Don’t forget your identity!” He quickly shielded his chest and other important areas with hands. On the sight of that, Yuxing Tianrui turned around at once.

“It’s your fantastic delusions! You never change!”

Look. Look. His Highness was really a man of learnings who didn’t know how to curse at all. Du Chuxuan sighed inwardly but still couldn’t help asking, “Then why are you here in my tent, Your Highness?”
