Chapter 143: Meeting

“That’s right, that’s right. We were just saying that Lady Yun wouldn’t be of much help even if she stayed here, rather she would get bored of this. Instead, why don’t you let her go get some fresh air?” The Left Commander wanted to persuade Yun Shu.

“Your father frequently went to war before, right? Xian xian?” Yun Shu suddenly changed the topic as she asked Bai Yunxian questions unrelated to the meeting.

Bai Yunxian also didn’t understand, but he answered anyway seeing that he had something in mind.

“At that time, he got wounded and injured at times. Who helped him heal the wounds?”

“It was… me.” Bai Yunxian hesitated a little because he didn’t understand what Yun Shu was trying to pull.

“And the paper works were also done by her when the General was absent, gilding himself with pleasure and luxury.” Yun Shu finally threw the bomb in the field which shocked the people around.

“What do you mean by it, Lord Yun? You are diminishing General Bai’s reputation!” The left Commander tried to defend Bai Yunxian’s father, but Yun Shu shot a glance at him as she looked nonchalant.

“It’s the truth though? Or are you saying that my information source is at fault?” The pressure they felt wasn’t something light just from those few words, which made all of them shut their mouths.

“My wife is proficient with medical treatment and military strategy knowledge. Need something more to stay here?” Yun Shu asked as she scanned the faces of everyone present in the round table.

“Then we can proceed.”

After that, Bai Yunxian freely attended all the meetings held. Though at first, the old Elders were opposed to this idea and displeased about the event, they also slowly started to improve their opinion of Bai Yunxian as a matter of course, with time passing by.

“Even if you have the privilege of attending meetings and holding up your opinion, you still can’t join the war directly. So stay at the camp for me and help people in need of medical treatment, okay?” Yun Shu’s voice was tender as she played with Bai Yunxian’s hair, talking casually.

The date has already been set, it’s only a matter of time when it starts.

However, Yun Shu’s special force didn’t wait for the war to start yet. They already started their work as planned, ambushing the enemy right before the start of war and robbing their reinforcement and weapons sent to defend.

Every night, a secret troop was released, and Yun Shu herself also went as one of the leaders, to ambush the carriages and make surprise attacks.

Due to her strong reinforcement, the enemy soldiers weren’t in a favorable situation and lost to them each time.

Zhu Zhengting made a temporary alliance with the Empire as they all had a common enemy to defeat, but there was also the matter of Bai Yunxian’s safety, he couldn’t act otherwise.

And all the allied sect forces joined hands with him and made up a regular troop, which worked in favor of the Empire’s soldiers.

Chi Yan also gathered other Divine Beasts from his clan and some other clans joined forces with him, which made up for a group of great forces.

Yun Shu wasn’t that worried about the war that will take place, since the situation was playing in her hands, but Bai Yunxian felt anxious with every passing moment.

Especially the more the time was growing closer, the more he was getting such absurd dreams. He couldn’t put away the possibility of Yun Shu getting hurt or injured seriously during war.

“Why do you always look like that? I already told you that nothing will happen to me.” Yun Shu said as she looked at Bai Yunxian with adoring eyes, who was sitting by her side on the bed, reading a scroll as he got lost in thoughts for the fifth time.

“I know. I know that My Lord is strong, and there isn’t much that can injure you. Even so, that’s not a reason for you to play around. It’s a war zone.” Bai Yunxian said as he looked at Yun Shu, putting down the scroll.

It’s true that Yun Shu was unbelievably strong, there is no reason to deny it. She was superior to others in terms of strength and wit, and her power was above Martial Emperor realm though she still didn’t make a breakthrough.

All the soldiers in the camp admired her, so did the others.

But Yun Shu’s playful and friendly attitude despite being such a strong and honorable person was the thing that attracted people more than usual. Some become haughty and arroagant right after gaining power and status, and they never behave well with people lower class than them.

But Yun Shu was friendly to even the common people im the town, spending time drinking in the same table as low class commoner soldiers. This was one of her unique character and charm that made people admire her.

That’s why some people was so jealous of her that they wanted her dead and disappear from their eyes.

Even so, having the Crown Prince by her side was one of the goal she scored perfectly.

For some reason, Yun Si was following her around ever since they came in the County. Though Yun Shu avoided putting up the topic, Bai Yunxian already noticed the difference in his attitude.

’Why does he keep staring at Lord Yun?’ Bai Yunxian was pissed after he caught the Crown Prince’s attention over Yun Shu during the meeting, and has been grumpy and overprotective since then.

He noticed it earlier, but it seems that Yun Si has been paying attention to Yun Shu too much these days.

So, to make sure he doesn’t hit on Yun Shu, Bai Yunxian said with a cautious tone, “Remember not to get hurt. And… and, stay away from Yun Si as much as possible!”

Yun Shu raised an eyebrow as she was interested in the topic suddenly.
