Hubby, Your Fox Fairy Wants Everything

Chapter 161 Take the Husband’s Place to Fight

“To treat the wound is what we need to do now.” Once stabbed by the Hongjun Crossbow, a person would suffer the consequences ranging from the disorder of visceral organs to the broken heart meridians. Hun Kun knew well the power of the Hongjun Crossbow. Hun Kun kept injecting the Spirit Power. But the skin was still getting cold. Wuyou was intent upon wreaking vengeance on Hongjun who injured her husband seriously.

“There are good doctors in Jin City.” Zhan Ming was worried about the Commander in Chief. Even if the Commander in Chief was not in the battlefield, Zhan Ming was confident that he knew well how to fight. It seemed that no matter how much the spirit power was being injected into Wuyou’s husband, he was still unconscious. Well, only the Heavenly Book could make it. However, without the Heavenly Book, Wuyou would be battered to ashes. But at that moment, all Wuyou wanted was that her husband would be rescued. Then, she opened her eyebrow bones and took out the spinel. Blue spirit light brightened the sky dazzlingly.

“Wait.” Hun Kun found that there was Original Spirit Qi inside Xu Linghe’s body when feeling his pulse and was puzzled why the Junior Brother’s Original Spirit Qi was in the man’s body. Once the Qi merged with the Heavenly Book, the man would die without doubt. However, Wuyou could not care too much and was afraid of missing the opportunity to save him. She just wanted her husband to be alive.

“Does your husband know Lu Yadao?” Hun Kun wanted to confirm it, because only in this way could he apply the right medicine.

“Yes.”

“He was once imprisoned in the Chaos...” Wuyou expounded to Hun Kun.

“Your husband really knows Lu Yadao.”

“I don’t know. That person turned my husband into a monster, and induced him to drink human blood.”

“Your husband is attacked by the poison of Black Spirit.” Hun Kun ascertained the pathogen and knew that the poison could be only solved by himself.

“Help your husband up.” Wuyou helped the man lean against the soft couch. Hun Kun gathered spirit power and took a purple spinel out of his body. The spinel shone brightly in the candlelight. It was the Spiritual Stone formed by Mysterious Clear Qi, which could purify the poison gas. Hun Kun sealed up Xu Linghe’s acupuncture points and put the purple spinel into Xu Linghe’s body. Wuyou found a soft pillow in case her husband felt uncomfortable. The purple spinel diffused with blood. Spiritual Qi ran with the purple spinel. Xu Linghe’s bloodlines were activated. Gores were being eliminated little by little, and the wound stabbed by the Hongjun Crossbow was being recovered. Xu Linghe’s arms and legs, as well as muscles and vessels, regained consciousness. The purple spinel ran in his five viscera and six bowels. Those broken meridians were also being recovered. Hun Kun sealed up the Mysterious Clear Qi to give the purple spinel to a full play. Xu Linghe’s body was getting warm, and then, he opened his eyes.

“My little woman...”

“My husband.” Wuyou wept with happiness, and her hands held Xu Linghe’s hands tightly. Wuyou was ready to do anything as long as her husband would be fine. Xu Linghe looked at her affectionately. The woman had to worry about him every time. Xu Linghe did not want the little woman to shed tears for him. Instead, she should smile happily and enjoy his company every day. But not only could he fail to do that, but also she always remained in a state of apprehension for him. As her husband, he felt deeply sorry for her.

“Report! Qi army is pressing hard at the border. General Yu is fighting against hopeless odds.” A soldier rushed into the room in utter consternation, and fell to the ground.

“Where are they?” Zhan Ming asked anxiously. If Di army breached Madam Yu’s defensive line, the last line of defense to the south of the Jing Town, Zhan Ming thought he must take responsibility to hold the final perimeter at the Jin City, as the Commander in Chief was severely wounded.

“Go to get more news.” The soldier took the order and left the camp. Zhan Ming examined the deployment map. General Yu guarded the South Front and was besieged by Qi army. If the reinforcement did not arrive on time, General Yu and her troops would be swallowed by Qi army in the end. Zhan Ming just stepped out of the camp, but a soldier ran into him. Zhan Ming’s face hardened.

“Commander in Chief has assembled the army.” The soldier did not dare to look at Zhan Ming, because Zhan Ming once enjoined that nothing about the Jin army could be revealed to the Commander in Chief. However, the soldier still risked his life to tell it to the Commander in Chief. Fearing the commander would beat him, the soldiers stepped back sneakily.

“I will fix you later.” After leaving the words, Zhan Ming ran to the Commander-in-chief camp immediately. Viewed from the distance, a person wore the armor. Would the Commander in Chief lead the army to the battlefield in person? Zhan Ming could not help quickening his pace.

“Little woman, you have to be careful.” Worried about Wuyou, Xu Linghe said to her again. Zhan Ming felt his heart was in his mouth at the sight of the person in armor and thought, “Will the Commander in Chief let the woman lead troops to fight against the Qi army?” Zhan Ming had not seen Wuyou’s influence before, so he was not convinced. As the Vice-commander, Zhan Ming massed the forces. When the Commander in Chief issued the order, a deafening roar went up from the crowd in the square.

“Hun Kun, please ensure my husband’s safety.” Although the woman said gently, her voice sounded repressive to Hun Kun. He let out a sigh and thought that he would owe Wuyou a debt of gratitude which he should never be able to repay this life. However, Hun Kun was willing to take Wuyou’s orders. Well, the fox did have that ability.

Xu Linghe stared at her till her beautiful silhouette disappeared. Hun Kun was a man of experience himself and knew how it tasted. That a man was worried about his woman was not at all discreditable.

“You can’t still rest your heart?” Hun Kun bantered.

“The woman is worried about me every time.” Xu Linghe said in a dispirited way. Since the woman had sacrificed a lot for him, what did he do for her in return? To guard Kunlun, she shouldered the responsibility herself while Xu Linghe devoted his benevolence to the Jin City’s people. When could he stop and only live for the little woman? Xu Linghe thought over it.

“Well, no use in saying it more. You should cherish her.” Hun Kun was filled with painful recollections. Although tens of thousands of years had passed, the regret still rooted in his heart that if he had been more courageous, the consequence would be different now. What a great pity!

“Let me see the Commander in Chief.” A noise rang outside the camp. Xu Linghe unveiled the camp curtain.

“Feiyang.” Xu Linghe called him. A soldier barred Lin Feiyang’s way and thought, “How dare the person is to barge into the Commander in Chief’s camp!” The soldier held the saber and guard the gate of the camp. Since the Commander in Chief did not feel well, Lin Feiyang still insisted on seeing the Commander in Chief regardless of any dissuasion. One of the soldiers’ responsibilities was to safeguard the Commander in Chief. Besides, before leaving the camp, Commander Zhan also enjoined that no one was permitted to enter the camp, and that whosoever dared to violate the order would be killed. The soldier listened to Commander Zhan’s order.

“Let me go!” Being accustomed to being free and unfettered, Lin Feiyang had been tired of staying in the military camp and run out of his patience and composure, because he was worried about his elder brother’s safety. Zhan Ming led hundreds of thousands of troops, so his brother was unable to resist in the battlefield. Lin Feiyang thought he must send the message out as quickly as possible. However, Xu Linghe saw through Lin Feiyang’s thought easily. Once Lin Feiyang went back, the little woman and the entire Jin army would be in danger. Therefore, Xu Linghe would not allow Lin Feiyang to leave. For the sake of the little woman’s safety, Xu Linghe thought Lin Feiyang should stay in the military camp. After sensing Xu Linghe’s attitude, Lin Feiyang had his own plan that he could slip away though Xu Linghe did not let him go. The thought brightened up Lin Feiyang. Hun Kun looked at Lin Feiyang up and down and found that the young man was not as impetuous as others around his age. Obviously, this character was formed in his childhood. Lin Feiyang looked calm and felt that the white-eyed man tried to probe him.

“Your Excellency, judging from your weird look, I don’t think you’re a common person.”

“Not weird, but ugly look.” Hun Kun had been living for tens of thousands of years and did not mind what he looked like at all. Lin Feiyang was a bit embarrassing. Although the Mysterious Spirit Poison in Xu Linghe had been relieved, he was still depleted. Hun Kun felt Xu Linghe’s pulse and dredged Xu’s veins, hoping Xu Linghe to recover soon. After all, how could the barrack run without the Commander in Chief? Lin Feiyang walked out of the camp to the barrack and paid heeds to the locations of sentinels all the way. He thought he must leave tonight, or it would be too late, because his hand held the power of his elder brother’s life and death.

“Believe this guy? Aren’t you afraid that he will run away at midnight? If so, the fox will get into trouble.” Hun Kun was just concerned about his savior. As for the Jin army, it had nothing to do with him. Xu Linge had his own consideration: Lin Feiyang was Lin Xiaosa’s younger brother, so Xu Linghe would not get tough with Lin Feiyang but had someone watch him secretly in case that Li Feiyang would escape. Hun Kun took out the spinel and put into Xu Linghe’s body. The procedure was repeated an hour per day. After an half of a month, the poison would be wiped out. Compared to Pangu’s Herbal Spirits, the purple spinel could only handle the toxic of Spiritual Qi. The Spirit Power ran to veins and pulses, and spread out. Xu Linghe concentrated himself on condensing Qi in order to let the purple spinel detoxicate for him. Warm currents swept through his arms and legs. When Xu Linghe’s blocked heart meridians were unobstructed, Hun Kun took the spinel out of Xu Linghe’s body.

“Feel more relaxed, right?” Hun Kun said. Xu Linghe stretched himself to wipe out the muscular soreness, and his spirits picked up a lot. If things went on like that, Xu Linghe thought he was able to kill the enemy with the little woman tomorrow.

“But you still need a few more days before fighting in the battlefield.” Hun Kun added. In an instant, hope was dashed. But Xu Linghe did not want his little woman to confront the furious battle alone. Weapons were merciless. Even if the little woman was protected by mighty spirit power, she could not resist hordes of troops and horses. Hun Kun knew the man’s concern. After all, fighting in wars should be men’s affairs. No man was willing to let his beloved woman face blood.

“Is there any method to make me recover faster?” Xu Linghe did not want to wait. The longer the time dragged on, the more the man suffered spiritually. How could a man let a woman take risks?

“Just put the war affairs aside for the time being.” Hun Kun found out a military quilt and decided to stay in the commander’s camp tonight, because the fox had left words that Xu Linghe must be protected unscathed. Now only the fox could make Hun Kun surrender. Hun Kun spread out the quilt.

“You have to watch Lin Feiyang. Don’t let him run in the middle of the night.” Xu Linghe was ready to get up.

“I have to watch you. This is what the fox asked me to do.”

It was extremely torturous for a lazy man. Hun Kun leaned against the door and squinted, but was awaken by the sound of gongs at midnight. The emergency alarm went off in the military camp. Xu Linghe ran out of the commander’s camp. Hun Kun rubbed his eyes and thought that the military camp was not a good place to live in, and that compared to it, Kunlun was much more peaceful. The military camp’s provisions and fodder got fire, which were planned to supply for the front. Who did it? Fire spread wildly. Then, the Dragon Spirit flew out of Xu Linghe. He conjured and set formation. The giant dragon led the water from the Heavenly River, as the Dragon Spirit was not a common spirit beast, but a dominator in the Heavenly River. And Xu Linghe had tamed it. The sudden rain poured down and put out the fire immediately. Soldiers prostrated on the ground at the sight of the Dragon, as mortals all had an awe for dragon beasts.

“Who did it?” Soldiers marched a man in black clothes to the front of the Commander in Chief. Lin Feiyang was held tightly.

“Commander in Chief, the man should be severely punished.” Soldiers made a request with great hatred, because the man dared to burn the provisions and fodder. Lin Feiyang swished out, but was blocked by Xu Linghe.

“You’ve foreseen it, right?” Lin Feiyang clenched his fists and thought Xu Linghe was so sly that he had set a trap. It seemed impossible to escape from the military camp.

“Considering that you’re Xiaosa’s younger brother, you will be locked up.” The soldiers had the intention earlier. With the Commander in Chief’s order, the soldiers rushed toward Lin Feiyang, but he struggled and gave a blow to knock many soldiers away.

...

In the Jing Town, the South Front.

Di Qing hurried to the military camp. The battle mattered so much that it would determine the division of the domain. The opportunity for combat could not be delayed because of Lin Xiaosa. When Di Qing entered the Commander’s camp, the high-ranking military officers looked solemn. The message brought by the scouts brought pressure on the Di army. Lin Xiaosa was in a dilemma. According to his understanding of Xu Linghe, Lin Xiaosa believed that the Jin City would be as strong as iron. So it was not easy to seize the Jin City. But now, Di Qing did not fear Madam Yu. Was the Jin City strong enough to resist the artillery?

Di Qing was fully confident and had the gunpowder sent to the barrack. It was Di Qing’s sharp weapon to attack the city. When the gunpowder arrived, Di army’s morale was boosted highly. Di Qing led his troops to push hard at the Jin City. In the South Front were ambushed Madam Yu’s ten of thousands of strong soldiers. To attack the Jin City, Di army needed to break through Madam Yu’s line of defense first, so its artillery battalion came in the van. Lin Xiaosa deployed the forces. Artillery’s flames sprang up to heaven, and the entire South Front was entangled in the war. Madam Yu had been well-prepared and set a defensive cover for all of her soldiers. Di Qing intensified the offensive. In order to crack down Di Qing’s attack, Madam Yu ordered nagas to dive into the rivers to besiege the artillery battalion to destroy the artilleries.

Lightening speed played a crucial role in marching and fighting in the battlefield. Di soldiers ran toward to the Jing Town under the Di Qing’s order that they must arrive there before dark. The artillery battalions were impossible to make it, so were drawn by carriages.
