Chapter 29 — For Whom Are You Getting Angry About?

Edited by DancingDolphinsYo

However, this was not the ti to worry about his pengornis drawings. The adviser had had enough of riding the horse, but the general had not! One had to know, as the Great Southern Garrison General, Guan Shanjin had spent half his life on horseback, and his horse riding skills were incomparable.

When the person in his arms had sufficient rest, Guan Shanjin spread his slender, fair legs apart. It was now his turn to ride this old horse. Wu Xingzi was clinging onto him so gently, and every mont of his ride was extrely enjoyable.

He rode this old horse till he spurted both at the front and in the back, and filled him up with his co. With the thrusting motions, Wu Xingzi could not stop orgasming, and he cried until his voice turned hoarse. Only then did Guan Shanjin carry him into the bedroom next to his study, still pounding into him, and this bout of fucking only ended when Wu Xingzi had pissed himself.

After a month of abstinence, Guan Shanjin finally ended his diet. The general devoured Wu Xingzi to his utmost satisfaction, licking his lips, enjoying the aftertaste. The adviser had been put through the wringer, and he was nearly half-dead. Collapsing pitifully on the bed, he fell into a deep sleep.

Just like before, Guan Shanjin ticulously cleaned Wu Xingzi up. Wrapping him up in his own outer robe, he pulled the blanket over him, preventing him from catching a chill. Only after doing all these did he finally go to clean himself up.

Walking out of the room with wet hair, he saw Man Yue’s plump, chubby figure in the study reading through the reports. Only when Man Yue heard his footsteps did he lift his eyelids to look at Guan Shanjin.

“You’re worse than a beast.”

“Thank you for that complint.” Guan Shanjin raised a brow, laughing lightly. He walked over and took the report that was in Man Yue’s hand. “Why are you waiting here? Is there soone outside looking for ?”

“Uh-huh.” If not, you think I’ll have the ti to wait for you to complete your business?

“Who is it?” Guan Shanjin pretended that he did not see those accusing eyes. In actual fact, Man Yue was also taking advantage of this opportunity to rest. There were too many people outside looking for him, and running about the entire day, he barely had ti to even drink water.

“Hua Shu.” Man Yue looked at Guan Shanjin expressionlessly, then he calmly passed his ssage. “He said, ‘Mr. Lu’s chest feels heavy, and he is unable to drink his dicine. Because he’s worried that the general would be worried, he refused to let inform the general. However, with Mr. Lu’s current condition, how can he not take his dicine? I had no choice but to secretly co and tell the general. Please let the general persuade Mr. Lu.’ I didn’t change a single word, nor add a single one. He’s been kneeling outside for four hours already.”

Guan Shanjin’s expression changed. He did not bother with his untied hair and stood up, heading outside.

“Hold on hold on hold on, how can your Mr. Lu not drink his dicine for four hours? I’ve already asked Physician Tu to go and take a look. The problem isn’t serious, it’s just that the blood flow in his chest is sluggish. He only needed a few acupuncture needles, and his blood flow is now extrely fluid. He has already drank his dicine and is now asleep.” Man Yu reached out and grabbed onto him, mischievously winking at him.

“As your vice general, how could I let such a small matter alarm the general! I heard that you’ll be going back with Mr. Wu tomorrow to honour his ancestors? Ah, this is very important, have you prepared your luggage yet?”

“You were eavesdropping again?” Guan Shanjin spat out. He suddenly thought about sothing, the thought quickly flashing through his mind. Instantly, his face darkened. “Did you… see the old fellow’s nude body?” Just as he finished speaking, Chenyuan Sword whistled out, and the cold, sharp point of the sword was pointed right at Man Yue’s short neck.

“Fuck you! Can you be a bit nicer and give a warning before you wave that sword of yours around? Give a chance to explain!”

Breaking out in cold sweat, Man Yue seed to have turned into a deflated balloon. He stared at that black, cold blade, not daring to look away, and it was as though he had shrunk in size.

“Your explanation?” Guan Shanjin’s lips curved into a striking smile. His sword inched forward, and Man Yue’s skin could feel the sharpness of Chenyuan Sword. The cold blade brushed past his throat, leaving a trail of pain behind it.

“Just wait a minute, I’ll explain right now…” Man Yue was very cautious. He did not even dare to speak loudly, and was almost mumbling. “After you left with Mr. Wu, Hua Shu ca looking for you in less than half an hour. Because you had entered your study, there was nothing he could do about it, and he ca looking for . I only ca here to look for you, as I didn’t want anything to happen to your precious sweetheart. It was a coincidence that I heard Adviser Wu planning to ride a horse! Please have rcy!”

A flash of dark tal, and Man Yue fell backwards, bumping into a pillar. Narrowly avoiding the blade of Chenyuan Sword, he waved his hand pathetically, bellowing, “I didn’t hear nor see anything that had to do with Mr. Wu and sex! Didn’t I just turn and imdiately leave to go look for Physician Tu?! How else do you think your precious Mr. Lu could have drank his dicine? How else would he be able to sleep right now?” By then, Man Yue had already tumbled out of the study. His face was dripping with sweat, and he glared resentfully at Beauty Guan who was standing at the door of his study with his sword. Man Yue did not dare to even blink, afraid that Chenyuan Sword would co seeking to draw a hole in his body.

“What a great timing, you even knew to return only when Adviser Wu was done riding the horse?” Guan Shanjin, himself too, did not understand why he was angry. He was unwilling to allow anyone to hear the moans of the old quail and see his coquetry.

“You think I wanted it? Hua Shu is kneeling out there, I have to co in and deliver his ssage! It’s not my fault that my hearing is good, why didn’t you go indoors?” The indistinct moanings from the courtyard had finally stopped before Man Yue dared to sneak over, planning on delivering the ssage. Who would have thought that he would end up eavesdropping on their sweet nothings? He had been completely wronged!

“Once I heard you tell the adviser that you wanted to ride the horse as well, I fled imdiately. I didn’t hear a single word of what happened next.” Still on his throat, there was the mark left behind by Chenyuan Sword. Man Yue took a few large steps backwards, his face that looked like the Smiling Buddha was all twisted up, and he was extrely distressed.

He had really suffered unfairly. Mr. Lu had not caused a disaster this ti, but a catastrophe.

“Mr. Lu has already fallen asleep, why is Hua Shu still kneeling outside?” Although Guan Shanjin was inwardly unhappy, he did not really want Man Yue to bleed. Since he had already cowed him into submission, and achieved his objective, with a twist of his hand, he returned Chenyuan Sword back to its scabbard, and hooked his finger at Man Yue, motioning him to co over.

Man Yue patted his chest a few tis to calm his breathing before returning to the study, the frightening mory still lingering in his mind. The cold wind blew past his sweaty body, and he shivered. Quickly making his way to the brazier, he stood next to it, warming himself. Only after pouring himself a cup of hot tea and drinking from it, was he then satisfied.

“Hua Shu says he’d like to see you, and if he can’t see you, he’ll continue kneeling there. I don’t know what intentions he has, but it’s probably still because of Mr. Lu.” Man Yue smacked his lips. Guan Shanjin’s tea was made from good tea leaves brought from the capital, and he even had a few kilograms of high quality tea. Since he had this rare opportunity, he would help himself to them as much as possible.

“Because of Mr. Lu?” Guan Shanjin frowned. He could not rember much about Hua Shu, and he also did not know when this person had started following Mr. Lu. Having seen him so many tis, he did rember what he looked like, and he also knew that Mr. Lu trusted him and relied on him heavily.

“Do you still rember that a while ago, you wanted to get rid of Hua Shu?” Man Yue asked casually. He had no expectations that Guan Shanjin would still rember a small matter like this.

As expected, General Guan poured himself a cup of tea before sipping on it and shrugging at Man Yue.

“Anyway, a while ago, you wanted to get rid of Hua Shu. Who would have known that after he left for less than two days, Mr. Lu had gotten him back again, saying that he was used to him, and did not want others to serve him. He wanted to tell you that he would apologise on Hua Shu’s behalf.”

“He would apologise on Hua Shu’s behalf?” Guan Shanjin’s unhappiness was evident, and he snorted. “Fine, since Mr. Lu is used to him, we don’t have to bother about this small little thing. If he still does not know how to remain obedient, then we’ll sell him to the southern barbarians.”

“So would you like to see this small little thing?”

“He likes to kneel, so we’ll just let him continue kneeling. This would prevent him from going back and disturbing Mr. Lu’s rest.” Guan Shanjin never liked anyone who was too close to Mr. Lu. All the people he had assigned to Mr. Lu understood this, and so, they naturally did not interact often with Mr. Lu. Hua Shu was the only exception.

“Are you really bringing Mr. Wu back to Qingcheng County tomorrow?”

“Yes. Why?” The end of the year was approaching, and the affairs of the border were a lot more relaxed. Even Man Yue was able to get a reprieve, and naturally, Guan Shanjin was even more at ease.

“What plans do you have for Mr. Lu? He hasn’t fully recovered from his leg and internal injuries. The third young miss of the Yue family has been coming over everyday out of concern. If it wasn’t because of you, she might have just brought him back ho to take care of him. You’re fine with seeing this happen?” This was not how Guan Shanjin normally handled things. In the past, anyone who dared to get close to Mr. Lu, or tried to make overtures to Mr. Lu, would all et so sort of hardship. After so long, everyone knew that Mr. Lu was General Guan’s soft spot, and no one dared to touch him.

Only this third young miss of the Yue family, childish, pampered and wilful, took no notice of Guan Shanjin. Only she dared to pursue Mr. Lu so daringly and publicly, and she really did succeed.

It was also thanks to Guan Shanjin for not doing anything, seemingly permitting the progress of this matter. Up till now, he had no intentions of making a move against the Yue family. The head of the Yue family too knew how to take advantage of this opportunity. He encouraged his daughter’s constant attention to Mr. Lu, planning on using this relationship to tie himself to Guan Shanjin, and in this process, he might even be able to be connected with other nobles from the capital.

“Mr. Lu has always wanted to marry and settle down, to find a wife and have a child…” Guan Shanjin laughed bitterly, his hand tightening around his cup. Just like this, the high quality celadon cup turned into dust. Patting his hands to get rid of the powder, he looked up and smiled at Man Yue. “You won’t tell this sort of things without any reason. This ti, your attitude has made suspicious. Normally, you would never care about Mr. Lu, but you’ve helped him out a lot recently. Man Yue, what are you planning?”

Guan Shanjin had already said it so clearly, but Man Yue still shrugged, smiling shalessly. “I’m not planning anything. I’m just afraid that you would explode in anger over our dear Mr. Lu. There’s no need for to remind you who’s behind the Yue family, right? Only Yue Dade, this idiot, can’t read the situation. Because of his good son, he’s about to be eradicated, and yet, he’s still foolishly giggling away.”

“It’s too late.” Guan Shanjin revealed a peerlessly gorgeous smile. Leaning over, he pinched Man Yue’s full and fleshy chin.

“It’s too late?” Man Yue was inexplicably alard. He pulled Guan Shanjin’s hand away, asking severely, “Why would you say that? Why is it too late?”

“I’ve already decided to deal with that person behind the Yue family.” Guan Shanjin spoke calmly. “There are so people who make unhappy just by looking at them. I’ll just casually deal with them and improve my mood.”

“What did he do to you? Is it because of Mr. Lu?” Man Yue was completely lost, and he leapt up from his chair, pacing the room. “Haiwang, it’s been five years since you left the capital. In these five years, you know as well how much more complicated and treacherous the situation there has beco. When you stopped the southern barbarians, the Protector General did not say a word, and even the Emperor has never urged you to return. You should know the reason even more clearly than ! If you’re to make a move, you’ll definitely be stirring the hornet’s nest, why give yourself this trouble over Mr. Lu? If you really dislike the Yue family, I’ll just co up with a plan for you to get that third young miss married off.”

“Don’t touch the third young miss. Since Mr. Lu is willing to marry her, then he must marry her. I don’t want Mr. Lu to resent .” Thinking about this marriage, Guan Shanjin’s heart was filled with bitterness. However, if he did not endure this, he might not even get a chance to see Mr. Lu in the future. By the ti the third young miss of the Yue family had given birth to a child, he would definitely have his ways of keeping Mr. Lu by his side.

“Then why do you still want to make a move against that person?” Man Yue was greatly puzzled. To be honest, that person behind the Yue family was not so hard nut to crack. With Guan Shanjin’s and the Protector General’s might, all they had to do was move a finger and he could be dealt with. Still, the power amongst the officials in the capital was an intricate web. Pulling a thread might cause an effect to ripple throughout the entire situation. For generations, the position of the Protector General had been shining brightly in this sewage, and everyone wanted to find a crack. Even if they could not take over this position, they would still try their best to destroy the person there.

If they were to make a move against this person, the flaws of the Protector General were bound to be exposed, and they might even incite so trouble. Although Guan Shanjin was arrogant and impertinent, he was not the type of person who could not see the whole picture, doing as he pleased. Why else would he have obediently stayed in the south, as the local tyrant?

“I must deal with him, as well as those people behind him.” Guan Shanjin bared his teeth in a grin, a bloodthirsty gleam appearing in his eyes. He looked like a demon considering who to eat next, and chills ran down Man Yue’s spine when he looked at him.

“What happened?”

“Because I want to.” Guan Shanjin glanced into the bedroom. Thinking about that person sleeping inside, he gave a gentle smile. “Anyway, I’ll be accompanying the old fellow back to Qingcheng County tomorrow. If that third young miss wants to bring Mr. Lu away, just let her do so! Mr. Lu would also be happy.”

“Guan Shanjin, are you possessed?”

“What nonsense are you saying?” Rolling his eyes at Man Yue, Guan Shanjin waved him off, chasing him away with no trace of politeness. “Now, scram! Since you now know who I’ll be targeting, why are you still standing there? Do you still need to tell you how many things we can do during the New Year’s banquet?”

“Guan Shanjin, you’re a fucking scumbag!” Man Yue left huffily. Despite how uneasy he felt, Guan Shanjin had already made his decision. As the vice general, he had to follow his lead.

However, he did not understand. How did that power behind the Yue family antagonise this god of death? Counting the nas, there was only the Minister of Revenue, Yan Wenxin, who had once tried to gain a connection with the Protector General by marrying his daughter off. Before the discussion of this matter could even finish, Guan Shanjin had released a statent saying that he would only marry a male wife.

If there was a past, it was only Yan Wenxin who would have a grudge against Guan Shanjin’s despicableness.

Later on, Miss Yan did marry quite well. Her spouse was the Assistant Minister of War. In private, he had gathered the battalions in charge of the capital’s defense, and he pretty much had a noose tied halfway around the capital. As for Yan Wenxin, he was extrely favoured by the emperor. It was no exaggeration to say that the entire capital was in the hands of the Yan family.

Why would Guan Shanjin poke this hornet’s nest? Mr. Lu was truly the root cause of all disasters!
