Chapter 1435 - 1430: Fengzi’s Problem Is Solved
Wen Xiaoya’s thinking was actually more open than Wen Nantian’s, and she thought of more things.
However, whether there was any selfish motive in this, only she herself knew.
Wen Nantian was contemplating Wen Xiaoya’s words.
In fact, if he had a choice, he really wouldn’t suppress Lu Yuanfeng.
Indeed, there was no shortage of talent in the military, but someone like him, with excellent character, martial arts, and intelligence, was extremely rare.
He was a rare talent for a general!
"Ya’er, what do you think, if your father lets Lu Yuanfeng marry you?" Wen Nantian finally voiced his inner thoughts.
Wen Xiaoya blushed, "Father, what are you talking about! What marriage? I have no such thoughts! I want to serve by your side for a lifetime!"
"You silly child, what foolish words! I know you refuse to marry because you don’t fancy those people in the Capital, their martial arts are poor, and their character is lacking!
But now, there’s someone who’s quite good in all aspects, are you willing to let that go?"
Wen Nantian continued to steer Wen Ya towards his intentions.
"Father, he already has a wife, so please don’t worry about this matter!"
Wen Xiaoya still remembered Lu Yuanfeng’s gentle look when he said he had a wife.
Although she had only seen him a handful of times, she believed that Lu Yuanfeng genuinely liked that woman.
Wen Xiaoya felt disdain to compete over him!
"Ya’er, he doesn’t have a wife, just an engaged village girl.
If I were to transfer him out of the kitchen, it would be to train him as a general talent. Do you think if a general marries a village woman, people won’t laugh at him?
Ya’er, since ancient times, heroes have always been paired with beauties. If one day, Lu Yuanfeng truly becomes a hero of our Da Ning Dynasty, the only person who can stand by his side is you!"
Wen Nantian had already made his plans, if Lu Yuanfeng was willing to marry his daughter, he would be part of the Wen Family.
Then he would spend a lifetime’s effort to help him rise!
If not, he wouldn’t make clothes for others!
"Father, you... let me think! Let me think again!" Wen Xiaoya pursed her lips.
She understood her father’s meaning, if Lu Yuanfeng couldn’t become one of his men, then he could only be destroyed.
Seeing Lu Yuanfeng being destroyed this way was something Wen Xiaoya didn’t want to see.
She thought and thought again, finally speaking, "Father, I am willing! You can transfer him out! During this time, I’ll try to develop feelings with him, will that be alright?"
With Wen Xiaoya’s words, Wen Nantian naturally had no issues here.
"Alright, then I’ll let him leave the kitchen and go to the camp for training tomorrow!" Wen Nantian said.
"No, father, he’s not fully recovered yet! Let him stay in the kitchen for a couple more days! Announce it after two days, is that alright?"
Wen Xiaoya’s concern made Wen Nantian even more convinced that he had made the right choice!
His daughter, and his most valued subordinate, they were destined to be together.
"Okay, then we’ll follow Ya’er’s idea! It’s getting late, you should rest early!"
"Mm!" Wen Xiaoya nodded heavily.
She hurriedly left Wen Nantian’s tent and rushed to Lu Yuanfeng’s place, she had to tell Lu Yuanfeng this news—
Upon returning to the military camp, Lu Yuanfeng was informed that he had changed his place of residence.
It was a single tent, clean and empty except for essentials.
Asked for the reason, Zheng Damao just said it was a vacated place, just right for him to recuperate.
Nameless soldiers don’t get special treatment, Lu Yuanfeng initially intended to refuse, but when he thought Shuangshuang might come in a few days, he simply accepted it.
At that time, Shuangshuang could stay with him, without worrying about any potential danger.
Carrying his belongings, Lu Yuanfeng moved his place of residence.
After settling in all his things, he remembered Xing Beichen telling him last night that he wouldn’t return in the coming days.
So the things he brought for Xing Beichen were unused now.
Lu Yuanfeng had eaten quite a bit for dinner, any more and he might have been unable to fit anything else in.
However, he didn’t want to waste the things Shuangshuang made.
While he was mulling over how to handle the food in the container, suddenly someone knocked at the door.
Lu Yuanfeng went to open the door and saw Wen Xiaoya standing outside.
His brow immediately furrowed.
"Aren’t you inviting me in to sit?" Wen Xiaoya asked.
"Not convenient!" Lu Yuanfeng replied directly.
"You—" Wen Xiaoya was flustered.
Was this man as dumb as wood?
So what if she’s a woman?
Being a woman, she can’t even enter his room?
Or is it that his unfinished rural fiancée is so formidable that she even forbids this?
"Lu Yuanfeng, I came to share good news! Besides, I’m not going to eat you, why do you have to look so guarded?"
Wen Xiaoya spoke bluntly, yet Lu Yuanfeng remained standing at the door, like a tree, unmoved.
"You... you’re truly a piece of dead wood!" Wen Xiaoya huffed angrily.
"Don’t think that every woman in the world desires you, I’m not interested in you. Let me tell you, if it weren’t for the fact that you’re my father’s subordinate and decent all around, I could beat several like you every day!"
Wen Xiaoya raised her fist.
Lu Yuanfeng remained indifferent!
"Fine, just keep thinking you’re some big deal!" Wen Xiaoya said, then proceeded to the main topic, "I overheard my father talking, and in a few days, you’ll be moved back to the drill ground for training, to become a proper soldier!"
"Really?" Lu Yuanfeng’s eyes lit up.
"Of course!" Wen Xiaoya nodded.
Lu Yuanfeng couldn’t help but wonder, did this mean the General wasn’t demanding he marry the person in front of him?
If so, there was no reason for Lu Yuanfeng to keep a tense face anymore.
"Thank you!" Lu Yuanfeng politely said.
Wen Xiaoya sniffed, "I seem to smell something really nice, what are you eating?"
Even with the meal covered, the scent couldn’t be hidden.
Lu Yuanfeng hesitated for a moment, then turned back into the room. When he came out again, he held a food box in his hand, "This was originally for Beichen, but since he’s gone training, if you don’t mind, you can take it and eat!"
Wen Xiaoya hadn’t eaten much for dinner and didn’t bother to be courteous with Lu Yuanfeng, so she took the food box and turned to leave.
Walking a few steps, she didn’t forget to tell Lu Yuanfeng, "I’ll return the food box to you tomorrow, train well, don’t disappoint my father!"
Carrying the food box, Wen Xiaoya went back to Wen Nantian’s tent.
She happened to see that Wen Nantian hadn’t touched his meal.
She had a sudden inspiration, and simply handed the food box to Wen Nantian.
"Father, these should be dishes from an outside restaurant, try and see if they taste good!"
Wen Nantian glanced at Wen Ya, wondering how in just a moment, his daughter came back holding a food box.
However, he would never doubt his daughter.
Opening the food box, the half-wrapped bamboo tube inside caught his attention.
He gently touched the bamboo tube, feeling the warmth, and suddenly realized—
