Rebirth Of The General's Granddaughter Chapter 190.1 - Common Goal, Bitterly Practicing Part 1/8

Chapter 190 Common Goal, Bitterly Practicing Part 1/8

Her body was shrouded in the blue light. They were thirty meters away from her and could feel the strong air flow surging around them.

After fifteen minutes, Dier waved her hand and her spiritual power gradually dissipated. She curtsied again to Old General Mu and Mu YingYi. Then she and Vaninaya slowly rose into the air, along with the spirit pets, including Feiyun. Soon, they all disappeared without a trace.

Shangguan LingRan looked at them and the spirit pets disappear in the air. He secretly gritted his teeth and vowed, “I must practice Xuantian Jue to the tenth stage. Then I can fly and go to India to bring YouYou back!”

Old General Mu and Mu looked at the distant Zi You and couldn’t help but cry tearfully. They didn’t know when they would see her again. Perhaps, they would never meet again.

At this thought, Old General Mu’s heart pained and he staggered.

“Father (grandfather)!” Shangguan LingRan and Mu YingYi shouted and went over to support him.

After carrying him into the tent, Mu YingYi quickly took out a life-saving pill and stuffed it into Old General Mu’s mouth. The two people deeply sympathized with Old General Mu’s feelings. He didn’t know whether he could see his precious granddaughter, whom he raised as a pearl in his palm, again. How could he not be sad?

Shangguan LingRan saw this and thought of the task that Zi You had entrusted to him. He forcefully fought back his grief and comforted Old General Mu. “Don’t be sad, grandfather. I swear to you that I will bring YouYou back.”

Old General Mu’s expression was ashen. He nodded and closed his eyes weakly.

“Ling’er. My good grandson!” After an unknown amount of time later, sixth martial nephew and the old Prime Minister, Shangguan LingRan’s maternal grandfather, the Left Prime Minister, opened the tent flap and rushed in.

He saw Shangguan LingRan sitting next to the bed with a lowered head. Old General Mu was lying in bed with a face full of grief. The Left Prime Minister immediately went over and looked his grandson up and down in concern. Then he looked at Old General Mu and asked, “What is going on? Did you faint or did Old General Mu faint?”

Old General Mu’s letter only said, “Something happened to You’er. s.h.i.+zi fainted from excessive grief.”

He had received the letter and quickly asked sixth martial nephew. Sixth martial nephew had exaggerated, “Mu Xiaojie is dead. Little s.h.i.+shu spat out blood and wants to follow Mu Xiaojie.”

Oh, no! The heavens knew how much expectations he had for this grandson. Nothing could happen to him!

Thus, he had rushed into the mountains in time to see the mountains shrouded in a blue light. The light was very strange. The strong air flow shook his eardrums and his head was in pain. He then suddenly fainted.

When he had woken up, he discovered himself lying on sixth martial nephew’s back and was being carried up the mountain.

Shangguan LingRan frowned and told him what had happened. Only, he subst.i.tuted Dier for a pa.s.sing master.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust his grandfather, but it was better if one less person knew about Dier. Otherwise, if it spread to the Emperor, it would be disastrous for the General’s Manor. It would be a crime of deceiving the monarch!

Prime Minister Yang quickly comforted Old General Mu. “Don’t be too sad, Old General Mu. This old man believes that the heavens will help Mu Xiaojie. She will return after recovering.”

Old General Mu said sadly, “Thank you, Prime Minister. I have something to discuss with you.”

“Please say it!” Prime Minister Yang clearly respected Old General Mu. He spoke very politely.

Old General Mu looked at Shangguan LingRan and said, very touched, “I really didn’t think that s.h.i.+zi Ye is such a devoted and righteous person. If I knew, I wouldn’t have engaged You’er to Duke Yongnan s.h.i.+zi no matter what. But the mistake has already been made.

“The key point is that s.h.i.+zi Ye has exposed the fact that he knows martial arts today. I have hidden this from the soldiers, but we need to have the same story. We can’t let the facts that he knows martial arts and his relations.h.i.+p with You’er be exposed to anyone.

“When You’er comes back, we will slowly make plans to fulfill their love.”

Old General Mu thought that Prime Minister Yang would be surprised after hearing about Shangguan LingRan and Zi You’s relations.h.i.+p. But he was surprised that Prime Minister Yang nodded and replied clearly, “This old man already knew his intentions. This is also this old man and w.a.n.gfei’s intentions. Originally, this old man was worried that you would have concerns. This old man didn’t expect that you don’t disdain s.h.i.+zi.”

Old General Mu immediately shook his head. “I know s.h.i.+zi’s difficulties. Let’s not mention that he’s not a real dandy. Even if he is, we won’t make things difficult as long as You’er likes him.”

“Thank you, grandfather!” Shangguan LingRan spoke excitedly. Then he firmly said to Prime Minister Yang, “Grandfather, think of a way to find a subst.i.tute to stay in the capital for me. I have to return to Emei and learn Xuantian Jue to the tenth stage. I have to find YouYou and bring her back.”

“Okay, I will think of a way.” Prime Minister Yang nodded. He didn’t dare to refuse. His grandson was deeply in love. Other than Mu Zi You, he probably wouldn’t accept anyone else. Thus, he could only fulfill his wishes.

Moreover, he was very satisfied with everything that Zi You had done. As An w.a.n.g s.h.i.+zifei, it wasn’t enough just to be beautiful and kind. She needed to be intelligent and have her own abilities.

The next day, Old General Mu wrote a letter to Xuanwu Emperor. The letter said: “There was heavy rain yesterday. The army in the mountains suffered landslides and mudslides. Chen’s granddaughter is seriously injured and unconscious from trying to rescue soldiers from being washed away by the mudslides.

“Chen was worried and at a loss. Fortunately, a pa.s.sing master took her away to be treated. However, the pa.s.sing master cannot guarantee whether Chen’s granddaughter will completely heal. So, whether Emperor’s conferred Commander of the female medical team Mu Zi You can return is an unknown. Please appoint another female medical team commander to replace Chen’s granddaughter.

“Also, there are casualties amongst the soldiers. Chen is unwell due to excessive grief. Please allow Chen to take the soldiers down the mountain to recuperate, Emperor.

“Please forgive Chen for not telling you and handed Chen’s granddaughter to the pa.s.sing master. But Chen’s granddaughter was in a critical situation and it couldn’t be delayed. Please forgive Chen’s disrespect on account of the situation being urgent, Emperor!”

The Emperor was just worrying if yesterday’s storm had any impact on the soldiers when he received Old General Mu’s letter.

At that time, the Emperor had a strange feeling in his heart. It pained like it never had before. Then he felt stifled.

He immediately agreed to Old General Mu’s request and expressed his condolences.

Thus, Old General Mu returned with the army back to the capital three days after the storm.

It was still Taizi, Second w.a.n.gzi, and Third w.a.n.gzi who brought officials to meet them. However, the atmosphere this time was completely different from the send-off. The soldiers were all listless.

Apparently everyone was affected by the ruthless reality. Their little fairy, Old General Mu’s granddaughter Mu Xiaojie, had been seriously injured and unconscious due to rescuing soldiers who were being washed away by the mudslides. She had been taken away by a pa.s.sing master. It was unknown whether she would be saved or could come back to train with them.

That clever and pretty female medical team commander, who wasn’t afraid of suffering or exhaustion and didn’t disdain their sweaty selves, had disappeared.

Taizi had felt bad in the beginning, but he soon let it go. Even if she was alive, Muhou firmly refused to let him marry her. If he had to just look, but couldn’t eat her, then it was better that he never saw her again.

Third w.a.n.gzi was also sad for a day after he received the news. But he soon comforted himself: This is good. No one can obtain her then.

Second w.a.n.gzi was clearly sadder than his brothers. After learning of Zi You’s accident, he had cried and immediately went with De Fei to pray.

When he couldn’t see that slender and straight figure in the army, his tears couldn’t help but surge again.

Zhao HongXiang shed a few crocodile tears, but he wasn’t sad at all. The thing that bothered him the most was where was he going to find Xiaoyao Powder now? If he knew that she was going to die so early, he would have had her make more Xiaoyao Powder for him.

Mu YingRui also shed a few crocodile tears, but he was soon relieved, as if a major source of trouble was removed. Without the darned ruthless yatou, his days would go smoothly.

However, when Old General Mu returned to the fu, he pretended to be stricken with grief and desperately squeezed out some tears. He asked, “What happened? How did she get hurt? Why didn’t her mother’s spirit protect her?”

He thought, ‘Didn’t her mother’s spirit punish me and Ping’er for her? Then why didn’t she protect her? She wanted to take her away, right? Then take her away! That way she won’t oppose me all the time.’

He finished speaking and Old General Mu slapped him. Old General Mu’s tiger eyes seemed to have seen through his thoughts. He was so angry that he hated that he couldn’t kick him to death.

w.a.n.g Yiping also received the news that Zi You was seriously injured and unconscious and was taken away by a pa.s.sing master. She cried while laughing in her heart. ‘Great! The heavens have eyes. She’s finally taken away. It’s best if she never comes back. Hahaha…… Today is the happiest day in my life!’

Yu Lanxuan laughed madly in her boudoir. Afterwards, she changed into red clothing and said to her confidant maidservant Cui’er, “Send a letter to s.h.i.+zi Ye. His fiancée is dead. I have to comfort him. I’ll meet him in Tianlaifu Restaurant.”

At this time, Shangguan LingRan was burrowed in the Empress Dowager’s arms and silently crying. It was the first time that the Empress Dowager had seen him cry so helplessly and sorrowfully. Even when his father An w.a.n.g had locked him up for three days and nights because of his brother Shangguan Liran, he was more angry than sad. He hadn’t even shed a tear.

But he was really crying this time. The Empress Dowager could feel her grandson’s tears soaking into her clothing and his body trembling.

The Empress Dowager couldn’t help but worry. She went to the temple and prayed for Zi You for a while. But it was really for her grandson. She was really afraid that her grandson would be hurt by love and become a monk.

After Zi You left, Old General Mu became ill. Although Mu YingYi did not collapse, it was clear that he was suppressing his grief. He lost a lot of weight.

Nee Liu was already sad. And now she saw her father-in-law and husband like this, so her whole person was on the verge of collapse. w.a.n.g Yiping was so happy that she almost jumped for joy.
