Masquerade in Bridal Attire and Marry the Prince

29. Let’s Make It Today

Translator: Antonia

The barracks was a traffic fortress connecting Shenglan and the Turks. From here, except for the city of Xiang, ahead there would be broad smooth roads into Shenglan.

This was why Shenglan attached such great importance to the place that the Crown Prince was sent over to safeguard it. On the other hand, over so many years, the Turks were no longer loyal and the King planned to expand the territories.

He didn’t worry that Yuxing Tianrui might get injured or wounded. He just sensed something wrong by the time of the Turks’ attack. Two days ago, Yuxing Tianrui had just changed some positions in the battle map, and now the Turks were here. He suspected that besides Yang Guang, there was another more frightening spy here in the barracks.

However, when he rushed to the main tent, Yuxing Tianrui was sitting there calmly. He was stunned.

Their eyes met for a second before they quickly looked away. Smart as Du Chuxuan, he understood at once. Sometimes he was just too lazy to think but not stupid. Now, he could be taken away as pig’s food if he didn’t understand what was going on.

“I didn’t know that my princess likes watching plays so much. Come here and let’s wait together.” Yuxing Tianrui displayed a shy smile, which was utterly out of place with the surroundings.

Pouting his lip, Du Chuxuan sat next to him and turned to look at him, “How did you know he would come over at this time? What if the Turks didn’t launch an attack today?”

It was rare to see Du Chuxuan curious, so Yuxing Tianrui was in a good mood, “Are they the only one who can plant spies? Their barracks aren’t spy-proof either.”

Alright. He had asked a stupid question. Soon after the two sat down, Ada placed a screen in front of them, so as a person wouldn’t find anything unusual at the first glance if he entered by the door.

They didn’t wait long, when Yang Guang, who was supposed to be defending the enemy with General Leng on the battlefield, hurriedly dashed in. Spotting no people in the tent, he looked joyful and instantly began his rummage at the table first, not at all noticing the people in the tent.

“What are you looking for, General Yang? Shouldn’t you be outside and fighting against the enemy with General Leng?” It would be better if he had a fan. Du Chuxuan found it a perfect moment to put on airs.

Yuxing Tianrui snorted, intuitively feeling this woman was making the last flirting with her lover. At once, he walked out from behind the screen and sneered at Yang Guang, who was already dumbfounded.

“I never believed that the second young lord of Yang family should commit treason.” He spoke slowly. Yet, on the moment, the air around him was different.

Du Chuxuan stood behind Yuxing Tianrui and looked at him, somehow finding it amusing. This man was usually unreliable but was actually a real badass at a critical moment.

Du Chuxuan wasn’t interested to hear how he would question Yang Guang and, believing Yuxing Tianrui wouldn’t have other serious business today, decided to go back to sleep. He would be going to the battlefield with him tomorrow. What an annoyance!

The farce finally came to an end when the sun set. The other generals and soldiers certainly didn’t know the inside stories and only praised His Highness for the smart fighting tactics. They had fought heartily today and got the first triumph of this first battle in real terms.

When General Leng came back, he immediately learned the news that Yang Guang had been sent back to the capital under escort. Thinking of what Yang Guang had incited him to do over the past days, General Leng felt his one foot was already in the tomb.

He didn’t dare to see Yuxing Tiarnui to beg for mercy, so he turned to Du Chuxuan. Fortunately, he wasn’t all stupid and brought Du Chuxuan a wild chicken, a cooked one.

“Take it easy, General Leng. His Highness can tell white from black. Just relax and work hard.” Tearing off a big drumstick, Du Chuxuan looked more than gratified.

He drove him away after some comfort. Now it was time for him to enjoy the delicious food alone. However, he didn’t bite off a mouthful yet when a teasing voice rang at the door, “I didn’t know that my princess thinks so highly of me.”

Du Chuxuan hurriedly held the chicken in his arms, fearing Yuxing Tianrui might take it away. The chicken was so greasy that instantly there wasn’t a clean part of his clothes.

Yuxing Tianrui couldn’t help frowning at him and stepping back, “I just come here to warn you  not to run about on the battlefield tomorrow. Otherwise, no one will collect your body if you die.”

Suddenly terrified by Yuxing Tianrui, Du Chuxuan was so annoyed that when he turned around, he deliberately shouted out loud, “Your Highness hasn’t slept with me yet this month. Let’s make it today!!!”

Yuxing Tianrui, walking outward, tripped and kicked on a pillar outside the tent, his face paling from the pain. The curtain was lifted, and judging from Ada’s trembling hand on it, Du Chuxuan knew that they heard him.

“Ridiculous! We’re faced with the enemy and you still have the absurd thought? I should just lock you up and never let you out!” Yuxing Tianrui threw the fierce words at him and left with a cold face and suspiciously red ears.

Ada knew his prince well, understanding he was truly annoyed, and hurriedly followed up. The Crown Princess was bolder and talked about sex publicly. If she was in the capital, she would be a laughing stock for everyone.

Winning again, Du Chuxuan didn’t care what Ada was thinking. Right now, chicken was more important than anything else.

He complacently rested his feet on the table and started to gnawed at the chicken. Anyway, his clothes were dirty already. It was more satisfying to hold the chicken in his arms.

The real battle was different from those in a novel. From the moment the armies of the two sides began to blend, there was nothing else except for killing.

All met eyes was either broken weapons or blood and limbs. If Du Chuxuan didn’t have a strong willpower, he would have thrown up all his breakfast. On the contrary, Yuxing Tianrui looked quite self-possessed.
