Marrying a Disabled General and be His Wife - Chapter 70

Feng Libai still hadn’t recovered from his illness. Every night, he would be haunted by nightmares whenever he closed his eyes.

Who would have thought that Chu Yiling would imprison him in the Colosseum, one of the most terrifying places in the entire Jing Kingdom?

The Colosseum, as its name suggests, housed many wild beasts, and almost every one of them had drunk human blood and tasted human flesh.

The original intention of the Jing Kingdom to build this Colosseum was as a way to offset the death penalty.

The criminal law of Jing Kingdom stipulated that all those who had committed capital crimes, except women, children, and old people, would enter the Colosseum. If the beast was defeated, the death penalty could be waived, and the sentence reduced to a lighter one. But if they died inside, it could only mean that their life was bad.

Although the original intention was good, the method was somewhat inappropriate, and some nobles had some special hobbies, so the meaning of the Colosseum’s existence changed.

Someone used money to create a path and opened a gambling table in the Colosseum. Whenever a death row prisoner was thrown in, the banker would open the market and make a big profit from it.

During the days when Feng Libai was thrown in, the Colosseum would be opened almost every day, and the sounds that shook the sky came and went, all of which reached Feng Libai’s ears.

In such an environment, Feng Libai not only had to overcome his inner fear but also had to defeat the beasts that coveted him.

He was different from Feng Chilie. Although Tuoba Lan was very strict with him, he had never seen such a scene in his life. Let alone killing people, he had never even killed a dog.

But driven by his survival instinct, he struggled to hold on.

At that time, Feng Libai was not sure how long he could hold on, but fortunately, he waited long enough for someone to save him.

.

Looking at the two people sitting in the room, Feng Libai felt inexplicably relieved.

Because his leg was bitten off in the Colosseum, Feng Libai could only sit on the bedside, but this did not prevent him from expressing his feelings.

After meeting again after a long absence, Feng Libai said: “Brother, it’s great to see you alive.”

Feng Chilie: “…”

‘If you die, you can’t see me.’

Looking at this silly boy, Feng Chilie’s eyes flashed with a touch of fatherly love.

After Feng Libai finished his emotional talk, Feng Chilie gave a few simple words of comfort and then got straight to the point: “Is the bracelet she gave you still there?”

Although Feng Chilie did not specify who it was, Feng Libai knew very well that he was referring to Tuoba Lan.

Feng Libai reached into his arms and took out something wrapped in a veil. He opened it little by little, finally revealing a torn bracelet.

“This bracelet was passed down from my grandmother to my mother then to me, so I have been keeping it close to my heart. However,” Feng Libai pursed his lips, looking remorseful: “But I still didn’t keep it well, and it accidentally fell out during the fight with the wild beast. …It broke.”

Looking at the broken bracelet, the two of them became worried. They were not sure whether Concubine Shu could recognize the torn item.

But something was better than nothing, so the two of them took the broken bracelet and embarked on the road to visit Concubine Shu.

.

Tianling Temple was within the territory of Qi Kingdom, which meant that they couldn’t be too ostentatious along the way.

In addition, they had just retaken the Jing Kingdom, and their foundation was not yet solid, so they had to make all arrangements before leaving to avoid being stabbed directly in the back, just like what happened with Chu Yiling.

The day before departure, Feng Chilie and Tan Chuyan visited Chu Qingyi.

Since the Jing Kingdom was recaptured, Chu Qingyi had lived in the General’s Mansion and had never set foot in the palace.

In this regard, the two of them didn’t say anything. After all, this glorious place was already covered with bloodstains and hatred.

Chu Qingyi lived in the old home because there was a room exclusively for her.

Standing in front of the door, Feng Chilie knocked on the door and called out: “Sister.”

To be honest, calling these two words now made Feng Chilie feel mixed.

He suddenly understood what Feng Chengjian had done in the first place. The reason why Feng Chengjian took Chu Qingyi to live in the General’s Mansion when she was a child, and asked him to call Chu Qingyi eldest sister regardless of her status, was because he didn’t want the relationship between the two of them to be shattered due to a trick of fate.

Feng Chilie stood at the door waiting for Chu Qingyi to open the door for him, but after a long time, the door did not move at all.

“Eldest Princess, are you inside?” Tan Chuyan raised his hand and knocked again, but there was still no reply. He opened the door directly and saw no one in the room.

Tan Chuyan looked around. The bedding in this room was neatly folded, and there was no trace of the furniture being moved. The only abrupt thing was the letter on the dressing table.

There was no signature on the envelope, only a thin layer of dust accumulated on it.

Tan Chuyan picked up the letter and opened it, reading the lines of beautiful handwriting.

He could read the struggle and pain in it. No one could accept such a result.

After reading the last sentence, Tan Chuyan laughed. In the end, it seemed that he still couldn’t escape his original fate.

But no matter how unpredictable the current situation was and how turbulent people’s hearts were, he would fulfill his promise to his teacher and bring peace to this troubled world.
