Chapter 680 - Inspiration for DIY
Despite his confusion and doubts, Zhu Junxi, this hapless child, honestly explained how he and 'General Mu' got to know each other. This was the story of a beauty rescuing a hero. During an operation to eliminate bandits, a young general, who had just been transferred to the southwest, fell into the enemy's trap and got lost in the deep mountains because of his unfamiliarity with the dangerous and mountainous environment of the southwest.
The dense forest, miasma, poisonous insects, and mysterious enemies caused the young general, who was a superb military commander, to fall into a dilemma. Just when he had run out of supplies and driven into a corner, General Mu led a group of elite soldiers, like a god descending from the heavens, and saved the young general from the dangerous situation...
"Just because General Mu saved your life...you and the general..." Princess Consort Jing gnashed her teeth as she imagined General Mu's, the fellow who liked men, 'crime' of taking advantage of the life-saving grace. She inwardly swore at this perverted general.
Recalling the scenes of the past, Zhu Junxi chuckled foolishly and said, "It was indeed Mumu who expressed interest in me first. At the beginning, I was afraid that others would say that I got my military merits through connections, so I rejected the confession. But, later..."
A virtuous maiden was afraid of a pestering man, and it was the same when the roles were flipped. Han Xiaomu had grown up in the military camps and developed a straightforward personality. She had always been open to expressing her feelings to the man she liked. There were naturally many young military officials under General Han who were interested in Han Xiaomu. Seeing that this beautiful and resourceful sweetheart, who was also skilled in martial arts, had actually fallen in love with this foreign wolf, all sorts of open and covert attacks were directed at Zhu Junxi.
Han Xiaomu was aware of the 'conspiracies' of these people and helped Zhu Junxi many times to overcome the 'schemes' of his colleagues. In the next few battles, the two became increasingly compatible, and they worked seamlessly together. They accumulated great military achievements by repeatedly defeating the enemy troops with a force inferior in number. When faced with the undisguised admiration of Han Xiaomu, who was jokingly known as 'General Mu' among the troops, Zhu Junxi could no longer remain calm, and he gradually fell for her.
When Zhu Junxi joined the army, he hid his family background. There were few in the army who knew about his identity as the second young master of Prince Jing's Estate. However, his surname was 'Zhu' and he had the generation name of 'Jun'. There was no way that he could hide his background from General Han, who was known to be an old fox. He pondered over the sons of the imperial princes. The only one who matched his age and appearance was the second son of Imperial Prince Jing.
His father spoke highly of Imperial Prince Jing, saying that he was upright, selfless, good-natured, and capable. Thus, General Han was quite happy with his daughter's choice.
General Han had quite a headache with his only daughter. General Han was deeply in love with his wife. After his wife passed away while giving birth to their daughter, General Han never planned to get married again. General Han had always doted on his daughter, who was looking more and more like his wife. She didn't want to stay in the capital, so he bought her along and raised her by his side.
But, as a military official, how was he supposed to raise a delicate young girl? He had inadvertently raised his daughter into a tomboy who was a capable and crafty 'little fox' with superb skills in military operations. Seeing that his daughter was already twenty years old yet she still didn't seem to be interested in romance and only knew about fighting, General Han felt very worried. He felt that it wasn't a good idea for his daughter to stay in the military camps with a group of rough men! He should send her back to the capital and let her grandfather worry about her!
