Chapter 1209

First Volume, Chapter 1209: Three Women, One Stage

Just as Wu Heli and Wu Cheng were preparing to turn the Qilian Mountains into a cultivation foundation, Qin Feng had already returned to the Front Line with Xiao Mazi.

Qin Feng kept his promise and handed Xiao Mazi over to Zhao Zhenhai, who arranged for him to join the Logistics.

The Logistics in Beixi County was an enormous department, divided into three tiers.

The lowest tier consisted of Basic Logistics Menial, above them was the Zhongying, and at the top stood the Logistics Regiment.

The Logistics Regiment and its subordinate Zhongying were semi-combat units, required to transport materials and possess sufficient Combat Effectiveness to protect supplies during enemy Ambushes.

Thus, the soldiers of the Logistics Regiment had Combat Effectiveness no less than frontline combat units, all being able-bodied active-duty soldiers.

Xiao Mazi was too young to handle Logistics Regiment duties; he would first train as a Basic Logistics Menial, and gradually rise through the ranks as he grew.

Even this, Qin Feng had broken precedent.

After all, Beixi County currently had no shortage of manpower—or rather, many were desperate to serve Beixi County to obtain its Household Registration.

Precisely because of this, Qin Feng had no need to hire those "brats."

Probably, Xiao Mazi was the only "Weichengnan" in the entire Beixi County military structure.

Taking in Xiao Mazi was less about him and more to honor the Ma Family's three brothers, and to encourage villages like Maguan Village to strive unceasingly.

The second thing Qin Feng did upon returning to the Front Line was summon Zhao Zhenhai and Zhao Yulong to immediately form a Punitive Vanguard.

This vanguard numbered no more than two hundred.

Half were Tianji Camp Guards and Anwu Guard; the other half were ordinary Beixi soldiers.

He did not deploy the Imperial Guard or Central Plains troops because En Mountain's terrain was complex—the more men sent, the deeper Wu Heli would flee, making capture harder.

Qin Feng personally led this punitive expedition.

As long as Wu Heli lived one day, Qin Feng could never rest easy.

In his rush to organize the Punitive Vanguard's personnel and Weapons, Qin Feng forgot the most important matter—he suddenly felt his ear being pinched.

Qin Feng frowned, silently cursing: Who dared disrespect him on the Front Line?

He spun around sharply, ready to roar a rebuke—but the words died in his throat.

In his focus on Wu Heli, he'd forgotten about the women.

Liu Hongyan had quietly arrived at the ZhuZhen over half a month ago, and she'd been wondering when that brat Qin Feng would come see her.

But when she learned Qin Feng intended to personally lead the expedition to En Mountain, she could no longer sit still—she stormed over with Xie Yun'er and the Princess of Qiyang Commandery.

Seeing Liu Hongyan standing with one hand on her hip, furious, Qin Feng reacted instantly—ignoring the sharp pain in his ear—he lunged forward and swept her into his arms.

"Second Sister, how did you get here? I've missed you so much."

Liu Hongyan was furious—she smacked his forehead.

"Don't give me that crap. You knew I was here—you deliberately avoided me, didn't you? Afraid I'd stop you from personally leading the battle?"

"Hmph, I advise you to give up this idea right now. Punishing rebels and killing villains? Let your Shu Xi handle it. Are you, a prince of Liang Kingdom, really going to don armor and fight yourself?"

Qin Feng knew it: once he met Liu Hongyan, his plan to personally lead the expedition to En Mountain was almost certainly doomed.

He said nothing about Wu Heli—instead, he spun Liu Hongyan around twice in his arms.

"Second Sister, I really missed you. Now that you're here, I won't be bored on the Front Line."

Liu Hongyan knew this brat was deliberately changing the subject—but she had no way to resist him. After all, he was her only younger brother.

"Hmph!"

"Put me down, you brat. You're a prince now, burdened with the fate of Shedynasty—why are you still acting like a child?"

Liu Hongyan struggled hard, breaking free from Qin Feng's strong arms, breathing heavily.

She turned to Xie Yun'er, irritably asking: "Imperial Consort, what should we do with this brat?"

Xie Yun'er had long missed Qin Feng, traveling thousands of miles to the Front Line—finally seeing him, and this unfaithful man had immediately spun Liu Hongyan around—where was her dignity as his wife?

Xie Yun'er crossed her arms and sniffed: "What to do? Punish him severely!"

"We agreed you'd come to Nan Jing in spring—but after the New Year, you vanished without a trace."

"You came to the Front Line not to fight, but to play."

"A prince like you going to hunt bandits—if you get hurt, do you want me to become a widow?"

Facing Xie Yun'er's torrent of scolding, Qin Feng could barely lift his head.

He'd long anticipated that after marriage, an invisible chain would forever bind his neck.

But now? It wasn't one chain—it was five. No—seven, if you counted Xiao Xiangxiang and Shu Feng.

The Qin Feng who ruled the Front Line now bowed his head and walked over to Xie Yun'er.

"Hehehe, my dear, we've finally reunited after so long—why are you so angry?"

"But speaking of which—why are there only three of you?"

"Xiaolan and Qian Ying are pregnant, and Elder Sister is busy handling affairs in Jingzhong—understandable."

"But why didn't Xiao Xiangxiang and Shu Feng come?"

At this, Xie Yun'er's eyes instantly turned deadly.

"So you're asking about those two girls first? In your heart, how much do I weigh? Am I so insignificant?"

Watching Xie Yun'er adopt the look of a petty, wounded wife, Qin Feng internally groaned.

He didn't need to guess—Shen Qingci and Liu Hongyan had surely taught Xie Yun'er plenty of "Wife Mastery Techniques" during this time.

This little spoiled brat had mastered the arts of Elder Sister and Second Sister perfectly.

Qin Feng glanced around, confirmed no one was watching, then kissed Xie Yun'er's cheek.

Xie Yun'er's cheeks flushed instantly—but she was still dissatisfied: "Before, you never hid your affection like this. Qin Feng, you've changed!"

Damn it—you forced me into this!

Qin Feng didn't care about anything—he pulled Xie Yun'er into his arms and kissed her lips.

Until Xie Yun'er was nearly suffocated and began pounding Qin Feng's chest, he finally let go.

Xie Yun'er gasped for air in huge breaths, her gaze nearly devouring Qin Feng, yet her little face was crimson as if dripping blood; she shot him a furious glare and ceased her outburst.

Indeed, when faced with a spoiled little girl, just kiss her—always works!

The Princess of Qiyang Commandery, covering her mouth with her hand, chuckled softly: "Qin Feng, you're truly shameless!"

Hey! What business is this of yours!

Qin Feng, one arm around Xie Yun'er and the other around Liu Hongyan, smiled as he studied the Princess of Qiyang Commandery: "What are you doing here?"
