Fix Smile Order

Seeing that training was about to end, Zheng Shaofeng wanted to lead the soldiers out. To do so, he had to inform that old man Commander, so he took Tang Tianyuan to see Commander.

Because the new face was too handsome, the Commander’s first impression of Tang Tianyuan was not very good. As soon as the commander heard that this person was from Chizhou and came to Anqing to borrow troops, he became unhappy, so he prattled a few words. Later, feeling that five hundred people was too much, the Commander counter offered a smaller number.

Tang Tianyuan became furious. He slammed the purple imperial seal on the table and said, "This one (arrogant) wants a thousand elite soldiers. We are to leave now! If one person is missing, you can go home and retire!"

The Commander’s knees softened and quickly knelt down.

Listening to him babbling nonsense, Tang Tianyuan interrupted coldly, "Keep your mouth tight, otherwise—"

The Commander nodded hastily. "Yes, yes! Please rest assured, my Lord."

A thousand elite soldiers quickly assembled and set off. The garrison in Anqing Prefecture was mainly navy and foot soldiers, so they did not have many horses. A thousand infantry marched overnight and arrived at the outskirts of Tongling County at dawn the next day.

Zheng Shaofeng ordered everyone to have breakfast. After eating and drinking, they were to climb up the mountain to catch the kidnappers.

"I say, are you really sending a thousand soldiers to arrest more than a hundred bandits? Is there still humanity? Can you be any more shameless?" Zheng Shaofeng had the graceful bearing of an immediate superior. For the fear of being recognized, he wore an iron mask. He was currently eating his dry rations, so his mask had to be lifted up slightly everytime he wanted to take a bite, but Zheng Shaofeng didn’t seem to mind the trouble.

Tang Tianyuan didn't bother to remind him: You can take off the mask right now. Afterall everyone around him knows him. Tang Tianyuan lowered his head, chewed on the dry food, and replied, "I want to be safe."

Zheng Shaofeng patted Tang Tianyuan on the shoulder and asked, "What if… I mean what if those people did that to her, would you still… you know?"

Tang Tianyuan looked at Zheng Shaofeng in his eyes, "As long as she is alive. As long as she is alive and well."

Zheng Shaofeng nodded and patted his shoulder again.

—

Tan Lingyin made herself look super ugly. She drew herself very thick eyebrows, bloody red lips, a criss-cross on her left cheek, and freckles on her right cheek.

If Duan Feng still doesn't lose his appetite at her current appearance, then Tan Lingyin will admire him for being a true man.

That’s right, they were holding the wedding ceremony today.

Tang Tang never came back since yesterday morning. Even until now, there was no sight of any soldiers here to rescue her, so Tan Lingyin was afraid something had gone wrong. Anxious, Tan Lingyin tried to escape once, but was caught on the spot. Duan Feng didn't beat or scold her, he just ordered her to get married today.

Duan Feng's belief was that once the raw rice was cooked, she would become more obedient.

After Tan Lingyin finished her make-up, she put on her red headcovering. She then raised her voice to call Duan Feng, who was waiting outside, to come in and lead her out.

The two held a red silk cloth as Duan Feng led her to the Wedding Hall.

Xiao Mao started the ceremony as he loudly said, "First bow to—"

"Don't move!"

Tan Lingyin was so frightened that she quickly stopped moving. But soon, she thought it was quite bizarre: what does ‘first bow to don’t move’ mean?...

The red covering was still over her head, so she was unable to see the situation. At this moment, there was a mass of people surrounding the outside of the Wedding Hall. The bandits were so surprised and scared that they forgot to speak. Once the bandits had realized their predicament, they wanted to beg for mercy, but the surroundings were so quiet. Since no one dared to speak, others also felt embarrassed to make a sound.

This caused Tan Lingyin to not react at all. She was waiting to hear what the second bow was going to be for.

When Tang Tianyuan saw her in a bright red wedding dress, his eyes became hot. He walked over gently, and stood still in front of her. Although he knew this was fake, he still excitedly held her red headcovering.

Then, he gently lifted the covering. A horrifying face appeared in front of him. That face even gave him a joyful grin, causing the crosses and circles on its face to twist slightly.

Tang Tianyuan: "..." What the hell was this?!

Tan Lingyin was initially thinking how reckless it was for him to lift her covering without completing the ceremony. After baring her teeth, she realized that this face was not Duan Feng at all!

"HAHAHA! Tan meizi, you are so smart!" Zheng Shaofeng burst out laughing while clutching his stomach.

The other soldiers laughed too. Just looking at this face was enough for them to laugh for a long time.

Tan Lingyin glanced around and understood what was going on now. She was really happy that someone came to save her, but...she was currently an ugly sight to behold! And Tang Feilong even saw her like this! Tan Lingyin was so ashamed that she covered her face and howled strangely, running around the room.

As usual, once she got nervous, Tan Lingyin ran around recklessly like a headless chicken. Tang Tianyuan quickly grabbed her shoulders and comforted her, "It– It looks quite presentable." As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Tianyuan couldn’t help but let out a small chuckle.

I have no more face! No more face to see anyone anymore! Tan Lingyin covered her face and said with shame, "I want to wash my clothes! I want to change my face! Ah no! I want to change my clothes! I want to wash my face!"

Tang Tianyuan couldn't stop laughing as he helped her out.

Duan Feng and others watched the excitement, and finally remembered the severity of their situation. "Lords, have mercy! Please have mercy!"

Once Zheng Shaofeng had laughed enough, he asked to have the bandits tied up and taken away.

Tan Lingyin locked herself in the room and changed into her usual clothes. She then washed and washed her face vigorously, finally cleaning off everything on her face.

The face could be washed clean, but the memory could not be. Thinking of what had just happened, Tan Lingyin wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it. When a woman was in love, she would only want to show her beautiful side to the person she liked, but she...

Tang Tianyuan gently knocked on the door outside, "Lingyin, are you ready?"

Tan Lingyin opened the door with her head looking down. Tang Tianyuan walked in and closed the door behind him.

Tang Tianyuan stared at the top of Tan Lingyin's head with scorching eyes. The stronger the feeling of longing, the more difficult it was for one to speak. The two remained relatively silent, until Tan Lingyin could not bear the silence anymore. She raised her head and smirked at him, pointing to her face, "Does it look good now?"

Tang Tianyuan suddenly grabbed her by the shoulder and pushed her against the door.

Tan Lingyin tried to free herself from his grasp as she said in a panic, "Hey!"

She didn't have time to say anything else, because he lowered his head to cover her mouth.

He kissed her again. Tan Lingyin's mind went blank.
