The Phoenix Reborn Book II

Chapter 87 I am Huang Miaoling

“Ah, I forgot to tell her about something ..” Huang Miaoling suddenly said with a blank look. The woman's face looked like she was thinking hard.

By his side, Qiuyue looked puzzled. “What are you talking about, Mistress?”

Huang Miaoling was silent for a moment, then he replied, “Not a big problem.” The girl approached her mother-in-law and said politely, “Mother-in-Law, come in. Don't let yourself catch a cold because you stand outside for too long.”

Yun Xia smiled hearing the attention his son-in-law gave him. “I will listen to you,” reply while patting the back of Huang Miaoling's hand.

“Kakak IPar.”

A call stopped Huang Miaoling's steps. The woman turned her head and found Liang Jian's figure looking at her with a meaningful look.

In a low voice, Liang Jian said, “Listen, Vice General Chen is at Lianhua Yuan.” The girl's eyes radiated a yearning and a worry. “I want to see him.”

“Remember my words,” Huang Miaoling said in a warning tone. “Jaga Miss Liang is fine. Let no one know what he is doing here,” he explained which was followed by a nod of Mudan.

“I understand, Madam,” replied Mudan with her flat face as usual. He did not say anything when he saw Huang Miaoling waltz into Liang Fenghong's room and lock the door.

To be honest, Mudan was a little surprised by the sudden arrival of Huang Miaoling. She thought that her female master had an order to be given right after the departure of her chairman, signifying the woman has her own plan behind her husband—something that has actually become a common scenario between the husbands and the wives. However, Mudan's expectations were shattered when he learned that Huang Miaoling's goal was simply to deliver Liang Jian to Chen Long.

‘I don't think Miss Liang has a relationship with Vice General Chen,’ Inner Mudan. ‘Yuanli with Yunlin, Meihua with Xiaoming, what about me?” ask in the heart. Then, he lifted both his shoulders. ‘Well, I got rid of runyam problem from my life.’

After daydreaming for a while, Meihua who was waiting for Huang Miaoling in front of Liang Fenghong's room was startled by his master's appearance. “Mistress,” call him with a little pensive.

“Why are you still here?” huang Miaoling asked who clearly remembered that he had lowered his orders to Mudan to guard Liang Jian. “Jaga Miss Liang,” repeat again.

“A-I understand.” Mudan's gaze fell on the training clothes worn by Huang Miaoling. “However, where do you intend to go with makeup like that?” Mudan couldn't help but ask.

With his hair tied high up and firm strokes added to his eyebrows and the sides of his eyes, Huang Miaoling's appearance made Mudan recall his first encounter with the woman. Yes, Huang Miaoling was disguised as a man.

A smile was displayed by Huang Miaoling. “I have an army to deal with.”

***

Liang Fenghong spurred his horse to reach the capital's gate, intending to immediately lead the Liang family's army to leave Zhongcheng. However, as soon as his eyes swept over the scene in front of the capital, he was only pensively aware of the presence of a number of troops that did not belong to him.

As he stared at the presence of a man with his armor of honor in the front row, Liang Fenghong frowned. “Dad in-law?” call him towards Huang Qinghao who was sitting on his horse gallantly. “What are you doing here?”

Huang Qinghao looked towards besan and his daughter-in-law. With a raised right eyebrow, the man said, “You don't know?” Then, he smiled. “What is still necessary for me to explain what really happened?”

Hearing this, Liang Fenghong immediately understood what his father-in-law meant. A thin smile was painted on his face as his mind chanted a name, ‘Ling’ ...’.

***

“Did you hear? Counselor Liang had just left the capital along with General Huang,” said a man in casual clothes while chewing meat buns.

Another man with a not-so-different appearance raised his eyebrows. “Is that? Does that mean we will no longer get training from Lieutenant General Song anymore?” There was disappointment coming from his eyes.

“Are you stupid? Of course Lieutenant General Song can't train us anymore. He must fight for his country!” reply to another man while patting the head of the previous man. “Although not my country, but Wu could be considered a close relative of Shi, and I would rather go fight for him than be silent with useless here.”

The first man swallowed his meat loaf with difficulty. Then, he added, “In addition, it is better to be part of the Liang family warriors than a little princess.”

Hearing this, the second man immediately glanced to the right and to the left. “You crazy?!” hisses.

“What?”

“Didn't you hear about what Lieutenant General Song said about Mingwei Junzhu?!” The second man felt his heart pounding, knowing that he was now involved in talking about a rumor about one of the high nobles. “That woman is no ordinary woman! He was the one who managed to spark the idea to take down He Wudi and also Great General Qiang!” As if it was still not enough, he added, “Even Great Master Qing and His Majesty the Emperor continued to praise him!”

The first man clicked his tongue, then raised both shoulders. “Basic fool, it's just a political game! Politics, you hear me?!” With a clever appearance, he explained, “Don't you remember that Counselor Liang was the owner of Lianhua Yuan? He is also seen to have a good relationship with Defense Minister Huang, as well as with a number of princes.”

“Then?” The second man's eyebrows shot up. “What does this have to do with Mingwei Junzhu?” the question was answered with a blow to his head. “Hei!”

“Are you stupid!?” maki the first man. “For the sake of tying up Premier Liang's only son, the Emperor teamed up with Defense Minister Huang to create a charade so that First Miss Huang could obtain an honorable identity. Just try to see how the Great General Huang chose to help Wu instead of defending Perbatasa— Argh!” the man ended up yelling bitterly when he felt a hand grab his head. “Sick! It hurts! Baj*which one is—!”

Before the first man finished his remark, the other two men immediately stood up and saluted, “H-honor to Lieutenant General Fang!”

Fang Yu, the man called “Lieutenant General Fang”, grinned widely. “Politics I heard?” ask him in a condescending tone. “Before pretending to know about politics, you better pay attention in advance to the attitude of a good soldier!” the man infuriated while hurling the third man violently to the ground, causing the man to drift painfully.

Rushing the third man prostrated pleading, “M-forgive me, Lieutenant General! I'm sorry!”

“Baj*ngan-baj*ngan rancid!” furious Fang Yu with a terrifying face\, made the three soldiers before him tremble in fear. “Just because Lieutenant General Song was kind to you some time this\, you forgot who the leader of this troop\ is, so?!”

“Of course you are, Let—!” the first man was greeted with a fist in his head.

“The leader of our team is Mingwei Junzhu, Baj*ngan, not me!” maki Fang Yu again with an excited rage. “Come clean yourself up and return to the field to practice!”

“B-good!”

Seeing the three soldiers running away in a daze, Fang Yu spat on the ground. “Damn it, this is all because of Song Ning, bedeb*h it. If not for being the direct subordinate of Premier Liang, I would have made sure to land a blow to his face for spoiling those foolish soldiers!” his grunts turned around to go to the training field.

Suddenly, the sound of the horse's shrill neighing and also the screams could be heard from outside the headquarters. The surprised Fang Yu immediately turned his head. Before long, he found a horse with a gleaming white mane barging through the headquarters gate. A group of gate-guard soldiers were seen trying to chase the horse, but they lost quickly.

“Stop that horse!” fang Yu shouted as he saw the white horse messing with the formation of some soldiers who were training in the middle of the field.

A number of soldiers tried to get close to the horse. However, once someone approached, the horse immediately kicked its legs violently.

Since no one had managed to tame the horse, Fang Yu snorted in frustration, “What the heck?! Where did this horse come from?!”

Simultaneously with the question, Fang Yu heard the sound of another horse leg clattering from the direction of the gate. Just as he turned his head, he found a brown horse barging through the wide-open gate of the headquarters. Unlike the previous horse, this time the brown horse had a rider controlling it.

Seeing how the man was driving his horse, the soldiers immediately avoided and moved away from the path that the uninvited guest would have gone through. None of them thought that the man would spur his horse to approach the crazy white horse in the middle of the field. Even more unexpected was .. The stranger decided to jump off his horse and ended up riding on the white horse.

“Yi,” the man tried to calm the white horse he was now riding. “Be good, Mazu!” snapped the person with a frown, a little angry.

Miraculously, the white horse immediately snorted and fell silent. When viewed with jelly, it may be seen that the white horse was pouting, but did not dare to go back in action because of fear.

With a frown, Fang Yu decided to approach the stranger. “Hei! Who are you?!” his yell. “Do you know what place you and your horse just broke into?!”

Hearing this, the person turned his gaze from his white horse at Fang Yu. The calm eyes of the dark bead that night made the lieutenant general freeze, slightly intimidated.

From the martial technique that the stranger showed, Fang Yu was convinced that the horseman possessed quite a high level of martial arts. However, he was the lieutenant general of Longzhu's forces, he had a reputation to guard against.

“Hei! Lieutenant General Fang asked you!” shouted an impatient soldier with the disrespectful attitude of the stranger.

When he knew the identity of his interlocutor, the person's eyes enlarged, making everyone think for a moment that he must have regretted having been disrespectful to Fang Yu. However, the speech that came out from the thin lips of the stranger instantly made everyone shut up.

“So you're Lieutenant General Fang?” That fellow's gaze swept over Fang Yu's appearance disrespectfully, making the man he noticed tremble— angrily. Not caring about the reaction of the interlocutor, the person continued, “Salam know, Lieutenant General. May our cooperation in the next day be pleasant.”

This time, everyone was completely confused. “What is this madman talking about?!” furious one of the soldiers, did not accept his superior insulted in such a way.

Hearing the soldier's words, the man seemed to have just awakened. “Ah, you guys don't recognize me.” He chuckled, pleased that it turned out that his disguise ability had not diminished. “Starting today, I will be in charge of your training.” That person glanced towards Fang Yu. “I am Huang Miaoling.”
