Chapter 866: Feixuan’s Invitation

‘I lost all six hundred and twenty-five of my cavaliers during the battle in the day .

‘Now, even though I have the title of a battalion commander and have more than sixty-nine thousand points, if I exchange it all to cavaliers, I can only get about one thousand three hundred cavaliers .

‘Attacking the enemy’s logistics camp and burning their supplies is basically the same as trying to pull a tiger’s tooth and marching to my own suicide . No matter how strong I am, it’s impossible for me to tank the firepower of the Mongolian cavaliers and burn their supplies…’

After Happy left the tent, he pondered about his situation .

After all, burning supplies was different attacking the carriages sending food supplies to the army .

At the very least, the enemies could obtain his information and seize the initiative .

Also, while the Mongolian army’s supplies were located at the back of the army, there were countless reconnoiterers as well as patrolling cavaliers around there .

If he wanted to take the risk of attacking the camp right under the Mongolians’ noses, he will definitely lure the Mongolian army on his back . Perhaps the evil cult elites Zhao Deyan, Xi Yin, and Wan Wan will appear as well .

‘I honestly thought that I was lucky . I didn’t expect that this is actually bad luck . ’

Happy continued criticizing the situation nonstop .

The marshal had personally said that since he had been promoted twice in a day, there might be objections in the army, and he must do something to prove his worth so that everyone will accept him . Besides, a qualified commander must be brave and smart .

If he succeeded in his operation to burn the supplies, he will secure his duty as a battalion commander . If he failed, then the points he obtained for the war during the month will all be used for him to pay for that one million points needed to get the title of a battalion commander .

Besides, he can only use his current points to gather soldiers . If he wanted to get other rewards, then he will have to succeed in his mission .

This meant that before he succeeded, he can forget about getting any sort of reward .

‘Where are my human rights?!’

The more Happy thought about it, the angrier he was . ‘The group of generals in the marshal’s tent are all bastards . They first gave me a great gift before they decided to cane me . Now, I don’t even know what to do with this “gift . ”‘

But fortunately, the mission the marshal gave him was not an urgent quest . He had ten days to complete it, and he was not required to do it alone . He can ask for help for this operation .

Happy thought about it . He will temporarily prioritize getting points and get a full team of cavaliers . He should be able to do so with one day’s time . By then, Silver Wolf and the rest should be able to get a full sized medium-scale cavalier unit as well . At that time, they might as well get a total of ten thousand cavaliers and sweep through the plains .

‘Hehe…’

Without Happy’s own knowledge, the tension in him gradually bled away, and he began letting his own thoughts run wild .

“Young Swordsman Happy . ”

At that moment, someone caught up to him from behind .

When Happy turned around, he saw Qin Qiong .

He caught up to Happy with a majestic gait, a heroic posture, and a smile . A thought bloomed in Happy’s mind, and he quickly turned around to greet him, not daring to show any signs of inattentiveness .

“General Qin, it’s almost daylight now . Don’t you need to prepare your soldiers for war?”

“Oh, I’m scheduled for night missions this time, and I don’t need to fight during the day . ” When he arrived in front of Happy, Qin Qiong smiled and explained his situation .

He then said, “I have to congratulate you . You’re young, but you already obtained the title of a battalion commander . If you’re intent to join the army, you’ll definitely have no problem in getting to the rank of a general in the future . ”

“Hahaha…”

“Brother Happy, don’t think too much into it . I’m not here to persuade you to join the Prince of Qin . It’s just that Miss Shi asked me to pass a message to you if I managed to receive you . She asked you to go to her tent to meet and talk with her . Just now, since the marshal asked to see you, I couldn’t quite pass her message, but now, I reckon that Miss Shi is already waiting anxiously,” Qin Qiong explained once he schooled his expression .

“Then, please lead the way, General Qin . ”

Happy did not know the way to Shi Feixuan’s tent . Now at ease, Qin Qiong walked ahead of Happy to lead the way .

“Come with me . ”

*****

Since Shi Feixuan was the successor of Kind Boathouse, she had an extraordinary status as the Prince of Qin, Li Shimin’s guest of honor .

This time, she was injured because she wanted to help Li Shimin, and naturally, she was being cared for carefully by a group of military doctors . The area around her was very somber and quiet, and there were quite a number of maids around waiting to serve Shi Feixuan .

Once Happy entered the tent with Qin Qiong, Happy saw Shi Feixuan, who had a thin white veil covering her face . She had already changed to another set of clothes and was sitting by the side of the bed feebly . The two maids beside her were already so anxious that they looked as if they were about to start crying .

When Shi Feixuan saw Happy enter, a sparkle shone in her eyes, but soon, her eyes became clear once more, and her heart was as calm as water .

With a cool tone, she asked the maids in the tent to leave, “Go out first . I’d like to discuss some matters with Young Swordsman Happy . ”

Qin Qiong was a very sensible person . He smiled and looked at Shi Feixuan before he said to Happy, “Miss Shi, I’ve brought him here, so you can be at ease now . I can be considered to have completed my duty, so I won’t bother you two anymore . ”

“I’m sorry to have troubled you, General Qin . ”

Shi Feixuan politely got up and thanked him .

Qin Qiong chuckled and waved his hand while saying that this was the same as him lifting a finger .

Once he finished speaking, he turned around and left the tent the Prince of Qin prepared for Shi Feixuan .

Once Qin Qiong, the military doctor left as well, and Happy as well as Shi Feixuan were the only ones left in the tent .

However, there was not a single hint of a romantic atmosphere in the tent at all . What filled the tent was just a very great medicinal scent .

“Are your injuries alright, Miss Shi?” Happy took the initiative to ask . Even though he knew that Shi Feixuan was fine, he could not help asking after her .

An airy voice came from behind the white veil .

“It’s all thanks to you trying your best to stop the Priest and the Witch that I am safe and sound . ”

Shi Feixuan’s clear eyes landed on Happy’s face, as if she had just gotten to know him again . She sized him up .

Happy naturally noticed the change from Shi Feixuan . He smiled faintly .

“Miss Shi, you’re an exceptional beauty . I believe that aside from Yang Xuyan, all other young men will do everything they can to help you . I am just doing what I can . ”

Before today, Happy will definitely not dare talk to Shi Feixuan in this way . That would have been offensive . But today, their relationship status had changed to Trusted, and he will have no problems in making a few harmless jokes .

Just as he expected, Shi Feixuan only avoided Happy’s slightly teasing and sparkling gaze .

“Young Swordsman Happy, you jest . ”

She paused for a moment before her tone changed . “I heard that you have been promoted to a battalion commander by the marshal this time, but at the same time, you have also been entrusted with a very dangerous task . Is that true?”

Happy said nothing, but a thought bloomed in his head .

‘It’s here!’

He had been surprised by Shi Feixuan mentioning this, but it was also within his expectations that she did .

The fact that Shi Feixuan called him here meant that he had definitely activated a plot-relevant quest . However, what caught him off guard was that Shi Feixuan will take the initiative in asking him about the marshal giving him the quest to burn the supplies .

Could it be that while the quest was very difficult, there were actually a few shortcuts to it?

Happy’s thoughts instantly became lively . He thought about this for a moment before he quickly told Shi Feixuan all about the quest the marshal entrusted to him .

When she heard about the details about the quest, Shi Feixuan frowned slightly .

“The Mongolian army’s supply route has already been attacked once, and the Mongolians will definitely set up heavy defenses for their supplies right now . You might face a lot of dangers during this trip…”
