Chapter 112 Rumors
After Jiang Luofeng left, Qin Xuanyu slowly walked out. "He's not beyond redemption yet."
"So what?" Jiang Qingyue didn't seem to care much.
In the following days, Jiang Luofeng would occasionally come to Jiang Qingyue's place to deliver things, which aroused much discussion among the surrounding soldiers.
But because of his status, he didn't dare say anything to his face.
This matter naturally reached the ears of General Zuo.
He called Jiang Luofeng over, coughed awkwardly, and said, "Um... Luofeng, lately you've been going to Doctor Jiang's a lot more often!"
Jiang Luofeng nodded. "Yes."
This open admission left General Zuo speechless.
"You... um... did you go to ask about the preparation of the antidote?" General Zuo still couldn't be direct, so he could only ask indirectly. As long as Jiang Luofeng admitted it, he could use this reason to help Jiang Luofeng dispel the rumors, since it was not good for such rumors to spread.
"No, I'm bringing her food."
General Zuo choked on his saliva, "You...you you you..."
He really didn't know what to say about Jiang Luofeng, so he could only remind her again, "Um... she has a husband, and besides, her appearance... how could you..."
Seeing the inscrutable expression on General Zuo's face, Jiang Luofeng finally realized something was wrong. What had they misunderstood?
"Don't talk nonsense!" Jiang Luofeng quickly explained, "There's nothing between us, I'm just grateful to her, so... wait a minute! She has a husband!"
Jiang Luofeng suddenly realized that Jiang Qingyue had a husband!
Thinking of this, he could no longer sit still. He stood up abruptly and rushed straight towards Jiang Qingyue's tent. General Zuo couldn't stop him in time. "Hey, Luo Feng, what are you doing?"
General Zuo quickly gave chase.
The surrounding soldiers were puzzled, looking at each other with curiosity, but none of them dared to leave their posts. They could only watch their departing figures with great interest.
Just as Jiang Qingyue was at a crucial moment in her experiment, Jiang Luofeng's urgent voice suddenly rang out, startling Jiang Qingyue so much that she accidentally poured out too much of the medicine in her hand and knocked over another bottle of medicine, which also ended up in the bottle.
Jiang Qingyue suppressed the urge to kill.
All her efforts over the past three days have been destroyed in an instant!
"Jiang Luofeng, you'd better give me an explanation!"
Seeing the mess in front of him, Jiang Luofeng seemed to realize he had made a mistake. "I...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I just suddenly remembered something and wanted to ask you something..."
"Go ahead and say it!" Jiang Qingyue rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.
Can't Jiang Luofeng just shut up for once?
"Qingyue, you're married?" Jiang Luofeng asked directly.
"...You just got married, what exactly do you want?" Jiang Qingyue was almost driven to the point of losing her temper by Jiang Luofeng.
"Not married? Then you..." Jiang Luofeng was about to say something when Qin Xuanyu walked in carrying a basket of herbs. Jiang Luofeng saw him and pointed directly at Qin Xuanyu, "What about him? Isn't he your husband?"
Silence. Everyone was silent.
Jiang Qingyue finally realized that she had been completely bewildered by Jiang Luofeng and had forgotten the reason she had made up.
At this moment, General Zuo and several guards also arrived, and Jiang Qingyue swallowed back the words she wanted to explain.
There are bound to be spies of the emperor in the army, so it's best to be cautious and not reveal your identity easily.
"That's right, but what does this have to do with you?" Qin Xuanyu glanced at Jiang Luofeng, his tone indifferent.
As Qin Xuanyu spoke, he tossed the basket to Jiang Qingyue, "Here you go."
Jiang Qingyue took it casually, only to find that Jiang Luofeng's expression had become even more unpleasant.
Before she could even speak, she heard Jiang Luofeng's angry voice, "How dare you treat her like that!"
As he spoke, Jiang Luofeng rushed forward and attacked Qin Xuanyu directly. Jiang Qingyue couldn't stop him in time.
Qin Xuanyu dodged Jiang Luofeng's attack with a quick movement.
Jiang Luofeng hadn't expected him to be so agile; it was safe to say that very few people in the army could easily dodge his attacks.
Jiang Luofeng's fighting spirit was also aroused, and he became much more serious.
The two fought back and forth, and Jiang Qingyue's throat was almost burning from shouting, but they were still locked in a fierce struggle.
In the end, Jiang Qingyue gave up and let them continue.
The two men fought their way from inside the tent to outside. Because the space was too small, they ended up fighting on the drill ground, attracting the attention of other soldiers who were training there.
After a few exchanges, Jiang Luofeng was ultimately defeated, and the scene fell into a deathly silence. The fight had initially attracted the attention of the surrounding soldiers, who all expected Jiang Luofeng to win; the outcome was indeed far from their expectations.
Jiang Luofeng hadn't had such an exhilarating fight in a long time, especially since he could clearly sense that the man in front of him was holding back.
If he hadn't held back, he might have lost much earlier.
Looking at the onlookers around her, and especially hearing the faint whispers of doubt, Jiang Qingyue's face darkened.
"You two, get in here!"
After speaking, Jiang Qingyue took the lead and entered the tent.
Qin Xuanyu and Jiang Luofeng followed closely behind.
Watching Jiang Luofeng's departing figure, General Zuo's expression was as if the sky had fallen, and he muttered, "It's really over now!"
Some people had already speculated about this, and this fight has now directly confirmed the rumors.
Even after entering, Jiang Luofeng was still bothered by what had just happened and wanted to see the true face hidden under that human skin mask even more clearly.
"Jiang Luofeng, what exactly are you trying to do? Do you know that your actions just now have already caused misunderstandings!"
"I didn't mean anything by it. I was doing this for your own good, and he dared to talk to you like that. What right does he have?"
Having realized his mistake, Jiang Luofeng, wanting to make amends to his two younger brothers, has become a doting brother to Jiang Qingyue, finding fault with everything Qin Xuanyu does.
“Jiang Luofeng, we are not husband and wife. He…” Jiang Qingyue paused for a moment, then continued, “He is my personal bodyguard, protecting me. We pretend to be husband and wife to avoid suspicion.”
Jiang Qingyue simply made up a reason.
"Really? Then you're in the same tent, this..." Jiang Luofeng was still somewhat skeptical.
“I slept on the bed, and he slept on the floor,” Jiang Qingyue continued to lie.
The truth is, she was the one sleeping on the floor.
Hearing this, Jiang Luofeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."
However, he breathed a sigh of relief too soon, and the news quickly reached General Zhao's ears.
He immediately sent word to Jiang Luofeng, Jiang Qingyue, and Qin Xuanyu to go together.
