Yan Jue suddenly raised his head, and faced him, "Weren't you always curious about the appearance under this mask? Today, I shall grant you your wish. "
He placed his hand on the mask and slowly lowered it.
In this world, other than Feng Yuting, everyone else who had seen his true appearance had died!
"No, no!" "I don't want to see —"
Hai Shi shook his head with all his might, his face filled with fear.
"It's not up to you to decide!" Yan Jue sneered, and removed his mask completely.
Hai Shi had nowhere to retreat to, so he could only dodge as fast as he could, to the point where he did not dare look at's face.
Even if they did not face each other, the aura of death brought about by Yan Jue's approach was enough to make him almost faint.
Suddenly, his entire body froze, as if his meridians had been pierced.
Hai Shi opened his mouth to shout, but realised that he could not.
He had lost his voice in fear.
The next moment.
Half of Yan Jue's face that was covered with centipede-like red scars had actually appeared in front of him.
Hai Shi screamed in pain, only to hear Yan Jue's hoarse voice saying: "Men, drag this unfavorable trash out and feed him to the bugs!"
Yan Jue's terrifying Yin Yang face revealed a strange smile, and Hai Shi's eyes turned white as he fainted.
The strange smile on Yan Jue's face disappeared, and the mask returned to its original place.
The two guards entered and dragged the unconscious Hai Shi out without batting an eye.
Only then did Yan Jue turn around and look at Feng Yuting, "How is it, have you vented your anger?"
Feng Yuting snorted, but she was not as ruthless as before, instead, she was acting like a spoiled child.
She kept her face taut, and said to herself as if to herself: "How can I be relieved that all these years of hard work have gone to waste? Even if I am relieved, I won't be able to get this dead woman back. "
Yan Jue glanced at the corpse on the bed, "That's true. If you don't cause trouble, I have a surprise for you. "
"What surprise?" Feng Yuting heard the enticement in his words, and her eyes lit up.
In a major event like this, Yuwen Jue would not joke around with him, even if it was for the poison in his body, he would do everything he could to help her.
"I'll take you somewhere. You'll know when you get here."
Beneath the mask, his hoarse voice could be heard. Other than the unpleasant sounds, his words were extremely tempting.
Feng Yuting could barely hide her joy as she nodded her head.
Yanzhou City's army camp.
In the tent in the middle, after Yuwen He came over and heard about the general's military affairs, the other generals all left. Even Yang Junda, Vice General Yang and Chong Yue did not stay behind.
Only the two brothers were left sitting in front of each other, staring at each other speechlessly.
"Does royal brother have something to say to me?"
After sitting for half a day, the general finally couldn't sit still anymore.
Yuwen He indifferently glanced at him, if he did not pick up the teacup by his side and take a sip, he would take a sip, "I really thought you had something to ask. "Since there aren't any, I shall return first."
As he spoke, he put down the teacup, grabbed the folding fan on the tea table, and slowly stood up.
The dark patterns on the robe started to move with his movements, as if the clouds could really move with the wind.
"Wait!" Seeing that he was about to leave, the general stopped him. "I have something to ask!"
"Hmm?"
Hearing that, Yuwen He turned around, his beautiful eyebrows slightly raised, "What do you want to ask? If it is an important military affair, do you want to kowtow three times and nine times before asking me for permission to do so? "
The general was speechless.
But he very quickly stood up, straightened his back, and with a solemn expression, he walked to Yuwen He and knelt down, wanting to kowtow three times and nine times.
"Alright, I'm just teasing you. There is no one else in the tent. There is no need for such a heavy bow and nine kowtows. " Yuwen He's simple sentence stopped the general in his tracks.
He was surprised for a moment, but then he kowtowed and stood up, "Brother, I only have one question, is there someone in our camp who should not have come?"
His tone was very certain, and he must have known what he was doing.
He was a great general, and the movements in the camp could not escape his eyes, not to mention the fact that he had brought back Third Prince of Tatar, the sick and injured person, causing so much trouble, let alone hiding anything from him.
Only, Yuwen He was not satisfied with his wording.
"Why shouldn't I come?"
"He is the third prince of Tatar. We are currently fighting against the armies of Tatar. How could he enter my camp?"
"You've been a great general for so many years, and held the military power for so long, have you lost your mind?" Yuwen He rolled his eyes at him rudely.
The imposing and inviolable aura of the emperor was instantly trampled by him.
The corners of the great general's mouth twitched, his temper flaring. "Who did you say had a bad brain?"
The fan in Yuwen He's hand slapped onto his head.
He used all his strength, causing the vision of a great general to blur. He subconsciously held his head and cursed, "Fuck your Yuwen He, it hurts to death! Yuwen He, you must be sick!"
"You've grown up."
The great general, who had been scolded and scolded by others for being ill, looked at his younger brother with a smile that was not a smile. Only then did he realize what he had scolded.
"It's a pity that you haven't improved after so many years of scolding."
The Great General's eyes flashed with regret, "I've scolded you too. I've also been staring at you, the Emperor's throne, for a long time now, and the Empress Dowager far away in the capital were all determined to see me ascend the throne. This is a military camp, at worst, I can kill the Emperor and usurp the throne."
"Good luck."
Yuwen He rolled his eyes at him again, his eyes full of undisguised disdain.
"…" A great general was at a loss for words. He seemed very angry, but he couldn't find a word to say in response.
It was as if he had returned to his childhood.
When he was bullied, it was always his elder brother who helped him out. When he caused trouble, his elder brother would help him clean up his mess, but when he returned to his own kennel, he could not help but be punished.
Since he was young, he had lived under the protection of Yuwen He. In fact, he had long since gotten used to this man holding up the sky for him. It was as if as long as he was here, he could do whatever he wanted.
Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but feel warm.
What he liked was seeing this man get his freedom and get everything he wanted, and not being controlled by that seemingly flourishing throne that was as cold as the cold.
The general's eyes glazed over as he fell into his own thoughts.
Yuwen He's fan once again hit his head.
He subconsciously grabbed his head and jumped up, "I said not to lead the way!"
"I didn't see how smart you were when you were a kid." Yuwen He still had a face full of disdain.
To the general, this was akin to hurting his self-esteem that was even thinner than paper. He was so angry that his eyes were bulging.
Who knew that Yuwen He would reply with another sentence, throwing him a disapproving look, "Your brain is not as sharp as your sister-in-law's."
"Hey, I …"
"There are many ways to fight, but none of them are crafty."
Yuwen He only said three words to stop him from talking.
The wise and wise Great General, who had been wanting to make a move on the Ancestor for a long time, immediately shut his mouth upon hearing this.
"The enemy of the enemy may not necessarily be a friend, but to some extent he can be an ally in the chain of interests. Since a sheep enters a tiger's mouth, why not make the best use of it? "
A certain general was stunned and had time to catch his breath, he finally understood, bowing deeply to his brother, "You're really an old fox, Chendi admires you greatly."
"Hmm, your brain really can't think that far." Yuwen He's "We have already gotten used to it" expression made his brother angry to the point of choking.
"Don't do anything stupid in the future. If you really want to be an emperor, I'll be waiting here for you. However, if you are stupid, your sister-in-law will have plenty of ways to deal with you. "
The Great General snorted, as if he was expressing his strong dissatisfaction towards Yuwen He's "Your sister-in-law has plenty of ways to take care of you".
Yuwen He raised his sword-like eyebrows as his left hand grabbed his ear.
"It hurts, it hurts!"
"Yuwen He, let go! "How old am I already and you still want to pull my ear!"
If an outsider were to come in and see their normally imposing general being tugged in the ears and stomping his feet in anger, they would probably think that they had walked into the wrong place.
Yuwen He twisted his ears until they were red before letting go and looking at him with an unprecedented serious expression, "Stinky brat, you better remember this: No matter what, your sister-in-law is your sister-in-law. Even if there comes a day when I'm gone, you have to take good care of her for me. However, if you dare to have even the slightest bit of presumptuous thoughts towards her, you should be well aware of the consequences. "
Afraid that his brain would not understand his words, Yuwen He added on, "We, the Han Chinese will not do foolish things like taking in parents and wives like the Tatar people."
"A person like you will be a scourge that will last for thousands of years. Even if I were to die, you might not necessarily be able to die!"
As soon as the general was free, he stayed away from her, his right ear red, and she kept rubbing it.
His own brother really did it himself.
Yuwen He was startled, a look of sorrow quickly flashed past his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared.
"Whether I die or not is one thing, and what I told you to do is another. Tell me, did you hear me?"
"I heard it!" The Great General unwillingly shouted, "Chendi will listen to the imperial edict!"
Afterwards, she even curtsied deeply towards him.
Yuwen He humphed out a single syllable from his nose, turned around and walked out of the tent.
"Your Majesty." Chong Yue, who was guarding the door, hurried forward.
Yuwen He acknowledged her as she glanced at him and Yang Junda.
Chong Yue and the rest were waiting outside the door, they could most likely hear the commotion from inside.
He didn't seem to mind at all as he instructed Chong Yue to follow him.
They all had the same thought in their hearts: Luckily the ones guarding outside the tent were them, if there were others around, the general's image would have plummeted to the bottom of the altar.
"Chong Yue, do you know what the Great General wants to do?"
Yuwen He who was walking in front suddenly asked, causing Chong Yue who was following closely behind to stop in his tracks in shock.
"Your Majesty?"
"Nothing, the sky is probably going to change."
Yuwen He looked at the cloudless sky, his thin lips curving into an unfathomable arc.
