33 Beauty Young Commander-in-Chief (1)
The imperial edict was read, conferred on, and His Majesty was thanked for his grace. For a long long time, everyone was unable to stand up. Only Linghu Shui Yue took the lead to accept the edict and stand up. The expression on her face was placid. She has only seen ancient warfare on TV. But she has experienced plenty of the modern rain of gunfire and bullets.
After Eunuch Li finished reading the imperial edict, he looked towards Linghu Shui Yue, forming a lotus flower with his finger, “Congratulations Linghu Young Commander! Congratulate Linghu Linghu Young Commander! Our Emperor relies heavily on Linghu General Manor for your service. His Majesty said, Linghu General has an awe-inspiring reputation. A tiger father does not beget a dog son. As long as there is Linghu’s military might, the Yue dogs will be quashed!”
Snort! As long as there is military might, they will be able to defeat the enemy army. Then what was the piles of corpses and bones, blood running like a river? The injured Linghu General was helped up by someone to sit on a cushioned chaise. After Eunuch Li left, he said to Linghu Shui Yue, “Huo Ri, come to father’s study!”
“Yes, Papa!” Linghu Shui Yue followed beside Linghu General. Since ancient times, how many people return from war? His Majesty’s imperial edict is taking advantage of Linghu General’s injuries to destroy the weed at the roots?
Suddenly, a figure raced over, pulling Linghu Shui Yue to leave, “Older brother, come with little sister to take a look! My little bunny is so pitiful ah! It died when everything was fine! Brother help me save it!”
Linghu Shui Yue took a glance and nearly burst into a fit of giggles over Linghu Huo Ri’s bloody red mouth. But she didn’t want to act crazy with Linghu Huo Ri at this time, so deliberately hardened her face instructing the servant girls, “Xiao Yan, Xiao Chun, take eldest miss back to her wing.”
Who knew just as her words finished, Linghu Grand General immediately said, “Huo Ri, go see what’s wrong with Yue’er’s little bunny. Come see Father when you’re done.”
“Yes PApa.” Linghu Shui Yue didn’t expect Linghu General’s indulgence of her was to such a degree. Following Linghu Huo Ri, she returned to her original wing.
Upon entering the chamber, Linghu Huo Ri pulled her anxiously, “Little sister, we must exchange identities immediately!”
“No! You’re physically weak yet you want to become Young Commander? I will be this Young Commander!” She was originally a military doctor, then promoted to Major General, Lieutenant General, then General….this older brother spoils her so much, how can she let him go to war? She was definitely much better at marching with the troops and fighting in war than the ancient people.
However, Linghu Huo Ri wasn’t willing to let his little sister go to war on his behalf, “Little sister, brother cannot comply with this matter! Marching with the troops and fighting in war is a man’s job. You a young lady, how can you go with us men to war? Quickly change back to your original appearance! After older brother departs to war, little sister must be cautious in every matter.”
Linghu Shui Yue upon spotting Linghu Huo Ri’s stern look, she knew it would be useless to argue with her brother. She must use some unusual means.
First she pretended to do as Linghu Huo Ri said, “Brother, you think I was going to go to war on your behalf? How could I? Just like older brother said, that is a man’s job. How does Yue’er dare to stay together with so many men? But departing for war is tomorrow’s concern. Tonight I will formulate some medicine for you to take with you. Carry it with you as you march. Take it while you’re marching, isn’t that good?”
Linghu Huo Ri was half in doubt and half-believing but in the end, he believed Linhu Shui Yue wouldn’t mess around about taking his place on the battlefield, so agreed to her using Linghu Huo Ri’s identity to make medicine for him.
This night, Linghu Shui Yue really did prepare some pills for Linghu Huo Ri. At midnight, Linghu Huo Ri came to rush her to exchange identities. She once again drugged Linghu Huo Ri into unconsciousness! This older brother was too good to her. She wanted him to practice martial arts at home, take his place on the battlefield, and make a name for him!
