C4 Sugar-coated Fruit

Ming Zhendong rushed forward to help, but was pushed away by Dongfang Yue. He grinned, and his face turned black after he came down from the battlefield. However, when he smiled, he revealed a mouthful of white teeth, which was so funny.

"Puchi …" Seeing him like this, Dongfang Yue could not help but laugh. The unhappiness she felt just now was swept away. Ming Zhendong scratched his head and took out a box from the bag on his back. After opening it, there were only two candied fruits in it, and nothing else.

"What is this? It looks pretty good." Although Dongfang Yue was a martial arts practitioner, she had spent the first half of her life in the Myriad Sword Sect and had never been outside. This was also the first time she had left her home after coming to the battlefield. It was a form of training, so how could she know what it was?

"It's delicious. It's called candied fruit. My mother always bought it for me when I was young. It's especially delicious. After you eat it, you won't feel pain anymore." Ming Zhendong had followed his father to the army when he was young. It could be said that he had spent his childhood in the army. At that time, he had been injured during the years of war. Every time he was injured, his mother would buy him the candied fruit that she loved the most. After a long time, he had become used to eating candied fruits every time he was injured.

Dongfang Yue looked at Ming Zhendong suspiciously. This thing looked good, but she had never thought that it could actually be eaten. She casually took a stick and licked it with doubt. Eh? It was actually sweet. Then, she tried to take a bite.

"Hmm... This sweetness is mixed with sourness, and the sourness is mixed with sweetness. It is so delicious that it makes people scream. It is indescribably delicious. I used to live a life of luxury. I have eaten a lot of delicious food, but this is the first time I have eaten something with such a taste." Then, she began to wolf down the two candied fruits.

Seeing her eating so fragrant, Ming Zhendong also smiled foolishly.

"Is it delicious? Hehe..." After saying that, Ming Zhendong picked up the other stick and prepared to eat it.

"Hmm... You are not allowed to eat it. That is mine." Dongfang Yue said vaguely. Her unreasonable princess temperament was back again. She did not forget to snatch the other stick from Ming Zhendong's hand and wolf down the two candied fruits. Dongfang Yue's face became much more rosy. Her smiling eyes had turned into a crescent moon.

"Is there any more?" Dongfang Yue asked, a little embarrassed.

"No more..." Ming Zhendong was also helpless. She had only eaten two sticks, and he had not even eaten one.

"Then where can I buy this thing?" Dongfang Yue asked a little disappointedly.

"There will be a sale once we cross the border. It's a pity that we are a little late. There are only two sticks left." Ming Zhendong was completely speechless. It was not easy to go there, and he did not know when he would be able to eat it again.

"What? There are enemies everywhere outside. How did you get there?" At this moment, Dongfang Yue was also surprised. The closest border was not only about the distance, but also about the enemies.

"Of course, I will go there." Ming Zhendong replied indifferently.

"Are you going to the border alone just to buy two candied fruits?" Dongfang Yue felt that this guy was really dumb. He was willing to take such a big risk to buy two candied fruits and almost lost his life.

"That's right. Don't you feel the pain? I liked to eat candied fruits when I was injured. It doesn't hurt anymore after I ate it." Ming Zhendong said seriously, like a doctor.

Dongfang Yue was silent for a long time after hearing what Ming Zhendong said. She thought to herself that although this guy was dumb, he was the best person to her other than her family. He was willing to take such a big danger for me. What he said next was like a finishing touch.

"If you go to the battlefield in the future, you can hide behind me!" After saying that, he walked out of the tent.

What a man's sentence. In an instant, Ming Zhendong's image in Dongfang Yue's heart was raised infinitely. From then on, he would protect Dongfang Yue firmly behind him in every battle. Dongfang Yue had never been injured again. After a long time, it was inevitable that Dongfang Yue would fall in love with Ming Zhendong.

After the battle ended, the Imperial Court rewarded Ming Zhendong as the vanguard general. At that time, in order to win over the people of the Ming family, the Imperial Court wanted to betroth his daughter to Ming Zhendong. According to Ming Zhendong's father, he was definitely willing to accept it. At that time, the Ming family had already controlled sixty percent of the Hanlin Empire's army. On the surface, it seemed like the emperor wanted to reward the Ming family by marrying his daughter to him. However, it was to prevent the Ming family from becoming too arrogant. In addition, the Ming family had been at the border for a long time, and the overseas trade was developed. It was inevitable that the emperor would be suspicious.

When the imperial edict was announced, Dongfang Yue received the news that the Myriad Sword Sect was nominally the protector sect of the Hanlin Empire, but in reality, the Myriad Sword Sect was not affiliated with the Hanlin Imperial Family at all. Therefore, many things could be done on the surface, but not on the big matters. Therefore, in a moment of desperation, Dongfang Yue led the sect's people to attack the capital. For no other reason than hoping that the emperor would retract the imperial edict. If the emperor did not do so, then the consequences would be hard to say.

Although the Myriad Sword Sect's Sect Master was not interested in the country, he was very worried about his daughter. He was afraid that his daughter would suffer a loss in the capital, so he had no choice but to arrange for the sect's experts to go with her to protect her. As for the Ming family, although the Ming family did not have any objections to the imperial marriage, it was only limited to Ming Zhendong's father. As for Ming Zhendong himself, he was even less interested in the princess whom he had never met before. Although he liked Dongfang Yue, he was too reserved and did not break the window paper. However, he could not do anything about his father's orders, so in a moment of desperation, Dong Fang Yue directly attacked the capital.

Although the Hanlin Emperor knew what Dongfang Yue meant by leading the Myriad Sword Sect to attack the capital, he could not do anything about the imperial dignity. If the Myriad Sword Sect were to take back the imperial edict because of the Myriad Sword Sect, how could the imperial family have any face left? Therefore, the emperor rejected the idea immediately.

With Dongfang Yue's unreasonable personality, she could not care less. She directly attacked. Although there weren't many experts in the Hanlin Imperial Family, it was hard to say how many experts they had secretly trained and hired. Thus, a bloody battle broke out between the Hanlin Imperial Family and the Myriad Sword Sect.

Although the Myriad Sword Sect had many experts, it was still in their territory. As more and more experts from the Imperial Family joined, the Myriad Sword Sect gradually showed signs of decline. At that time, the two sides fought to the point where blood flowed like rivers.

Just as the Myriad Sword Sect was about to be defeated, the ancestor of the Myriad Sword Sect, the father of the Myriad Sword Sect's Sect Master, Dongfang Yue's grandfather, came and said that the people from the Dongfang Family of the Myriad Sword Sect were unreasonable.

After the old man came with his sword, he did not say a word and directly attacked. He used his own strength to break through the defense of more than thirty experts from the Hanlin Imperial Family. If it wasn't for the fact that the Hanlin Emperor's father, who was the Grand Emperor, came out and begged Dongfang Yue to give him some face and stop, the result might not have been so good.

According to what was said at that time, the old emperor should have the same level of strength as Dongfang Yue, but for some reason, he did not make a move. Furthermore, he agreed to the marriage of the child without even mentioning the Imperial Family's face.

However, according to what the people present at that time said, the old emperor should have been worried about the power of the Ming family. This was because only the ancestor of the Ming family was not around. It was not the kind of person who had passed away, but had disappeared. There was a saying that he had gone to the Immortal World.

Therefore, the old emperor didn’t want to offend the unknown factor. Although he was as strong as the old man from the east.
