Chapter 439 God wants to kill me!
"General, I have already found out that Wang Kangxin's central army is to the west, and his 3,000 Anton troops are guarding there."

Sun Lei, the commander who was given to Ma Zhongjun by Yuan Song, rode his horse to Ma Zhongjun and reported loudly and excitedly:

Upon hearing this, Ma Zhongjun, who was already very excited, was even more surprised. He had heard about the grievances between their commander-in-chief and Wang Kangxin, so in order to give the commander-in-chief a good impression this time, killing the Gongdu New Army was only 80 points. If he wanted to get 100 points, he had to take off Wang Kangxin's head...
Thinking of this, Ma Zhongjun pointed his sword to the west and shouted:

"Brothers, come and kill Wang Kangxin there! Kill Wang Kangxin and you will be promoted three levels and rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Zhongjun took the lead and rushed towards the west. The Fengwu Army soldiers following behind him were immediately cheered up and rushed to follow him, fearing that the first prize would be snatched away by others and they would not get any credit.

After Wang Kangxin gave Wang Liu instructions, he slept very soundly, and his originally weak body seemed to have recovered some strength. Just when Wang Kangxin felt very comforted, the loud noise of the gunpowder depot exploding woke him up.

Before he could figure out what was happening outside, deafening shouts and cries of killing were heard.

"Someone is coming!"

"Someone come quickly!"

"Wang Liu, where are you?"

Wang Kangxin, who was complaining physically, struggled to stand up from the bed and yelled loudly:

Hearing Wang Kangxin's shout, Wang Liu came over, rolling and crawling, and said with a sad face:

"My lord, run! The Fengwu Army is attacking..."

After saying this, Wang Liu, who was eager to protect his master, took out a piece of ordinary soldier's clothes from somewhere and was about to put it on Wang Kangxin. Seeing his cowardly look, Wang Kangxin was so angry that he threw the clothes aside and scolded him loudly:

"Why are you panicking? Tell me where this Fengwu Army came from!"

Hearing Wang Kangxin's question, Wang Liu panicked, but after thinking for a while he said uncertainly:

"It seems to have come from the west. It directly blew up our gunpowder depot and burned our granary..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Kangxin's eyes flashed with a gleam of light and he immediately said:
"Hurry up and give orders to Li Yongzhe, Quan Dazhong and the others. This enemy force is not from Wanfeng Prefecture. They are just a small force. Hurry up and have them regroup, eat up this Fengwu Army, and force the Yuans out of Wushupo!"

Before Wang Kangxin finished speaking, Wang Daan, the general of the Anton Army, whose face was covered in blood, ran into the tent and wailed to Wang Kangxin:

"General, Li Yongzhe, Quan Dazhong, Zhao Zaien and the other three have surrendered. The enemy is coming towards us. They are very fierce. The brothers can't hold on any longer!"

Wang Kangxin, who had just been planning how to counterattack, was stunned when he heard the news. The next second, his face, which had just improved, suddenly flushed abnormally again. Then, Wang Kangxin, who was furious, spat out another mouthful of blood...

"grown ups!"

"Lord Commander-in-Chief!"

Looking at Wang Kangxin spitting blood, Wang Liu and Wang Da'an shouted with great concern. One of them was Wang Kangxin's servant and the other was Wang Kangxin's relative. If Wang Kangxin was caught, they would both be doomed.

Under the gazes of the two, Wang Kangxin, whose face was pale and exhausted, shook his head and sighed with a wry smile:

"This war is not my fault, it is God who wants to kill me!"

"It is God who wants to forget me, Wang Kangxin!"

As the saying goes, a dying man speaks kindly. Perhaps because he sensed that his end was approaching, Wang Kangxin no longer had the madness of the past. Instead, he spoke desperately to Wang Liu and Wang Daan, his two most trusted men:
"You guys can go, and whoever can escape should do so. From now on, hide your identity and don't think about revenge. Just be an ordinary, safe and ordinary person!"

"What will you do, General, if we leave?" Wang Liu cried out:

Wang Kangxin closed his eyes and said calmly:

“As the general of the Andong Army, how can I have the face to live in this world after such a crushing defeat? As a military commander, dying on the battlefield is the best fate for me! Besides, Ye Mingsheng will never give up unless he kills me and takes my head…”

Upon hearing this, Wang Liu immediately became anxious and said directly:

"Sir, we still have more than a thousand brothers. We are all willing to die for you. We will definitely be able to break out!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Kangxin opened his eyes, looked at himself, smiled bitterly and said self-deprecatingly:
"Given my current condition, what's the point of rushing out? It's just a matter of dying a few days earlier or later!"

At this point, Wang Kangxin lamented with some regret:

“I, King Kangxin, have lived for decades. I have fought bravely on the battlefield, killed countless bandits, and spent a night with the King of Gongdu’s concubine in the palace. Although this life was short, he has made enough of it. The only pity is that I have to die in a foreign country. I don’t know if my soul can return to my hometown...”

After saying this, Wang Kangxin heard the shouts of killing getting closer and closer, so he urged Wang Liu and Wang Daan:
"You two should run quickly! Ye Mingsheng may let others go, but he will never let you two go. If you two are caught by him, you will definitely die. Run now while you can!"

As soon as Wang Liu and Wang Daan said this, they wanted to say something else, but Wang Kangxin immediately scolded them:

"This is my last order! Do you want me to be worried before I die?" Seeing Wang Kangxin's firm attitude, Wang Liu and Wang Da'an wiped their tears, looked at each other, kowtowed three times to Wang Kangxin, then bowed to say goodbye to Wang Kangxin and hurriedly ran out of the tent.

Watching the two men disappearing from their backs, Wang Kangxin no longer had any other worries in his mind. Listening to the shouts of the Fengwu Army outside the tent and the wailing of his own soldiers, Wang Kangxin calmly picked up his sword and slowly pulled it out of the scabbard.

Looking at this sword that had accompanied him for many years and helped him kill countless powerful enemies, Wang Kangxin suddenly smiled and murmured in a low voice:

"Ye Mingsheng, you bastard, you want to kill me? Dream on! I am the only one in the world who can kill me, Wang Kangxin! I can't beat you in this life, but I will definitely settle accounts with you in the next life!"

After he finished speaking, Wang Kangxin did not hesitate or feel reluctant at all. He drew his sword and committed suicide!

after a cup of tea

After a lot of effort, Ma Zhongjun annihilated the remnants of the Andong Army guarding Wang Kangxin's central camp and rushed into Wang Kangxin's tent excitedly.

He thought he would see a panic-stricken Wang Kangxin, who might even be frightened to the point of incontinence, but to his surprise, what was waiting for him was only Wang Kangxin's corpse. Looking at the calm look on Wang Kangxin's face, although he was an enemy, Ma Zhongjun had to respect this man.

After a crushing defeat, not everyone has the courage to commit suicide to preserve their reputation, and not everyone can face death so calmly...

Although he had some respect for Wang Kangxin, when he thought of Ye Mingsheng's order, Ma Zhongjun still ordered:
"Cut off his head and wrap it in lime! As for the rest, just dig a hole and bury it!"

Liaoyang Dongning Military Governor's Office.

After helping Ye Mingsheng put on his clothes, Bai Yuanyuan looked at him expectantly and asked:
"My dear, will you come tonight?"

Feeling the affection in Bai Yuanyuan's eyes, Ye Mingsheng felt a slight chill on his back. As the old saying goes, thirty is like L and forty is like H. Bai Yuanyuan is a few years older than him, and this age is like L and H. She has been neglected by him for three months. These days, when he tried to make up for it, she almost devoured him alive!

Although Ye Mingsheng really wanted to personally welcome Bai Yuanyuan to the house to make up for his neglect of her, due to military affairs, Ye Mingsheng could only leave this matter to An Miaoyi. On the night when Bai Yuanyuan came to the house, Ye Mingsheng, who had just finished the joint staff meeting, returned home exhausted...
Although Bai Yuanyuan was resentful in her heart that Ye Mingsheng ran away after having sex and ignored her for three months, she was not a young girl who liked to act up and throw tantrums. After some coaxing and hard work from Ye Mingsheng, she finally reconciled with Ye Mingsheng.

Although he was fascinated by Bai Yuanyuan's pussy and liked the feeling that she knew how to do it with just a glance from him, the dull pain in his back still made Ye Mingsheng's reason prevail. After thinking quickly, Ye Mingsheng made up an excuse and said:

"It should be a critical time in the palace. I will rest in the study tonight. You don't have to wait for me to rest early!"

The light of expectation in Bai Yuanyuan's eyes disappeared immediately, her lips curled up slightly, but she still nodded and said considerately:

"Then don't be too tired, go to bed early!"

After saying this, she seemed to remember something and whispered shyly in Ye Mingsheng's ear:

"If my husband misses me, I will always be here for you..."

After saying goodbye to Bai Yuanyuan, Ye Mingsheng found An Miaoyi and went with her to have dinner with Ye Cui. Ye Cui heard from somewhere that Ye Mingsheng had been with Bai Yuanyuan these days. Although she didn't say it explicitly, her words implied that Ye Mingsheng should exercise restraint, take care of his health, and spend more time with An Miaoyi and the baby in her belly.

Faced with his mother's reminder, Ye Mingsheng could only nod his head repeatedly. Instead, An Miaoyi said a lot of good things on his behalf.

After having dinner with Ye Cui, Ye Mingsheng was concerned about An Miaoyi and the baby in her belly. An Miaoyi was almost five months pregnant and had been having some pregnancy reactions. Her daily life was very difficult. In addition, Ye Mingsheng was fully focused on military and government affairs.

My mother, Ye Cui, likes and trusts An Miaoyi very much. On weekdays, she doesn't take care of much other things except chanting scriptures, worshiping Buddha, watching plays and drinking tea. Therefore, all the household chores of the huge Ye family are left to An Miaoyi to take care of. Normally, there is naturally no problem, and An Miaoyi is also happy to take on her responsibilities as the wife.

An Miaoyi, who came from the Marquis' Mansion, was also very capable in this aspect. She managed the affairs of the Ye family in perfect order, and kept all the complicated accounts clear and concise. From the elders of the Ye family, uncles, brothers, to ordinary servants and maids, no one did not speak well of her...

But now An Miaoyi is pregnant, with a big belly, and she looks particularly tired. Ye Mingsheng has also advised her that she can temporarily delegate these tasks to other people. An Miaoyi agreed every time, but in fact she still does it herself, or just delegates some not very important and dispensable tasks to others.

Although Ye Mingsheng was somewhat helpless about this, An Miaoyi still knew the priorities and always put her health and the child first and rested regularly, so he could only let An Miaoyi go and believe in An Miaoyi's self-control.
After caring about An Miaoyi, Ye Mingsheng returned to the study, ready to start his day's work. However, as soon as he sat on the chair, the pain in his back, which was already a little uncomfortable due to overexertion, became more obvious...
Because he didn't want to delay government affairs and affect the distribution of disaster relief funds, Ye Mingsheng wanted to continue working at first. However, after holding on for about an hour, seeing that the pain had not subsided, Ye Mingsheng had no choice but to call Ye Kui over and ordered:

"Find a carriage to go to Changshan Clinic and bring back the Second Madam!"

Ye Kui thought for a moment and replied:

"The Second Madam has not been to Changshan Clinic since yesterday. She is now at the mansion. Does your Excellency need me to find her?"

Although he was somewhat curious about why Pei Zhixiu did not go to the clinic, Ye Mingsheng could not care less about that at the moment and nodded:

"ASAP!"

"Yes!"

Half a cup of tea later, Pei Zhixiu, carrying a medicine box on her back, followed Ye Kui into Ye Mingsheng's study with a calm expression.

After taking a look at the medicine box behind Pei Zhixiu, Ye Mingsheng looked a little embarrassed and waved at Ye Kui. Ye Kui immediately understood what Ye Mingsheng meant, bowed and retreated, and very considerately closed the door, leaving Ye Mingsheng and Pei Zhixiu a separate space.

Seeing Ye Kui leave, Pei Zhixiu glanced at Ye Mingsheng and said lightly:
"You lasted one day longer than I thought..."

Although Pei Zhixiu said this calmly, Ye Mingsheng could still feel a slight hint of jealousy. At the same time, Pei Zhixiu's words made him laugh and cry and he didn't know what to do. It turned out that the reason why Pei Zhixiu didn't go to Changshan Medical Clinic was because she knew that he would find her sooner or later!
