Chapter 1028: Chapter 233: Achieving a Good Marriage_5

Xiao Yong and Pei Wendong, who casually strolled along with her, and Chang Yonglin wholly agreed with her capabilities. With such a formidable woman around, how could men even survive?

"There are wild berries to eat on the mountain!" Pei Wendong pointed at the still green little fruits.

"How pathetic! Can’t you hunt for some game instead?" Pei Qin gave him a disdainful glance.

Chang Yonglin immediately said, "General! Let’s go hunt some game to eat! We won’t go far, just around here!"

"Alright!" Xiao Yong replied enthusiastically, taking the opportunity to let Sister Qin get some sun and exercise outdoors which should warm her up.

A few people, along with a few soldiers, wandered around the mountain nearby, hunting for game.

Xiao Yong’s archery was splendid. The two men he brought not only excelled in martial arts but were also Masters of Archery. After a round, without much effort, they had hunted three wild pheasants, two elks, and one wild boar.

The group, weighted down with their prey, carried the spoils back home.

Pei Qin, carrying a brightly feathered wild pheasant, walked excitedly in front of everyone, singing, "The King ordered me to patrol the mountains, to catch a monk for dinner! Beating my drum, ringing my gong, life is full of rhythm! The King ordered me to patrol the mountains, I shall turn the mortal realm around. The water of this mountain stream, is so very sweet, I envy neither mandarin ducks nor immortals!"

"What tune is the General humming?" asked a soldier carrying a wild boar, unable to hide his laughter.

"The King ordered me to patrol the mountains!" Pei Qin responded as she walked ahead and continued humming, "I patrolled the north mountains and now the south ones!"

Only Pei Wendong knew she was being odd again. He still remembered how she liked to sing "Five Rings" when going up the mountain.

In fact, there were not many songs Pei Qin could sing. All were popular tunes she had overheard; those that had worn out her ears enough to remember the tune and hum a bit. Because at home, all she heard were military marches collected by her old dad, the kind that made her want to go to war.

As everyone listened to her intermittently hum and sing just a few phrases, they couldn’t help but laugh at her, "General, other than loyalty and serving the country, you don’t seem to know any song thoroughly, right?"

"Who says? Listen to this!" Pei Qin racked her brains but honestly, she truly did not know any.

Seeing her silent for a while, everyone burst out laughing.

"Ah—Five Rings, you have one ring more than Four Rings; Ah—Five Rings, you have one ring less than Six Rings. Finally, one day, you will build up to Seven Rings, what happens when you reach Seven Rings? You have two rings more than Five Rings." Pei Qin glared at them and spontaneously started humming her own hit tune.

The rest of the group carrying the game: ....

The certain general in front kept humming excitedly, non-stop about Five Rings, suddenly feeling that Five Rings was a great thing.

Jun Suxue was waiting at the foot of the mountain, seeing her return in high spirits, carrying a brightly feathered wild pheasant, and came forward.

Pei Qin handed over the wild pheasant, "This feather looks pretty, take it to play with!" Finding something to distract her, so she wouldn’t crowd her space!

Jun Suxue, delighted, quickly took it with a smile, "Thank you, General!"

Pei Qin blinked, it seemed she had misunderstood again!?

"General! Shall we cook it into a stew?" A few Deputy Generals gathered around.

Pei Qin smiled and waved her hand, "Make it into a stew, let’s have a good meal tonight!"

Everyone suddenly got excited, all clamoring to eat the game the General had ’hunted’, although none of the creatures were actually brought down by her, as she simply tagged along.

After a hearty meal and a night of rest, the decree from The Imperial Court arrived, delivered by Shi Su, the apprentice of Shi Rui, "The Emperor summons General Pei to return to the capital immediately!"

It wasn’t to assist Mo Heng in attacking Rong Clan but an immediate return to the capital. Pei Qin observed his expression, narrowed her eyes slightly, and summoned him to the commander’s tent for questioning.

Shi Su followed her into the commander’s tent and, before she could ask, whispered in her ear, "The Emperor is critically ill, General, please hurry back to the capital!"
