The General Loves to Collect Little Red Flowers

Double update today, enjoy~~

Edited by Noks

Jiang Xinduo couldn’t sleep and didn’t know the reason for her sleeplessness. Her right eyelid seemed to be jumping ever since Le Yao and Xu Yao returned to Tarot, and she couldn’t fall asleep even after lying on the bed for a long time. Moreover, Le Feishan had gone to the Royal Palace this evening because the Emperor wanted a discussion on the undead soldiers of the Flying Wolf Division. She was very curious about the result, so she sat and waited for his return in the living room.

She had managed to wait for Le Feishan’s return. When he came into the house, she hurriedly got up to meet him and asked, “Why did you come back so late? Are there many people who oppose the idea of Xu Yao raising the undead army?”

Her tone made it obvious that she was looking forward to such a result. She certainly didn’t want Xu Yao to become stronger and stronger. However, Le Feishan didn’t even look at her and instead, spoke to the ’empty’ sofa, “What the hell do you want to do?”

Jiang Xinduo was startled into asking, “You, what are you talking about? Are you talking to me?”

Le Feishan just remembered that Jiang Xinduo couldn’t see him. He pressed his hand against his forehead and told Jiang Xinduo, “Your ex-husband, Zheng Yiyang, is back.”

Jiang Xinduo was scared to death as she countered, “You, what are you saying? Husband, don’t talk nonsense.”

Le Feishan then pointed to the empty sofa and said, “I didn’t say any nonsense. He is sitting on that sofa.”

At this moment, suddenly, the lights in the room flickered, and the curtains were blown around. The windows were all closed, and so there could be no wind in the room! Jiang Xinduo’s eyes widened in horror as she screamed, “Ahhhh!” and drilled into Le Feishan’s arms.

In front of those who were dead, Le Feishan couldn’t be firm as would otherwise be. Most important of all, this matter couldn’t become known to more people, so he panicked and ordered all the guards to stand outside. But then what? All his methods of dealing with an enemy would have no effect on the ’man’ in front of him!

Jiang Xinduo couldn’t see Zheng Yiyang, but when she saw that the lights had stopped flickering and the curtains were no longer floating, she asked in a low voice, “Has he left?”

Le Feishan hadn’t yet spoken when Jiang Xinduo suddenly felt someone strangle her neck!

“Hrrkk!”

She was lifted up by the ’person’ and tried desperately to pull ’those hands’ away, but she couldn’t touch anything! But, something was holding her neck, obviously!

“You... let her go!” Le Feishan roared and tried to pull at Zheng Yiyang, but it didn’t work. His hands directly passed through Zheng Yiyang’s spirit body.

“Husband, save... save...” Jiang Xinduo stared at him with eyes as wide as a copper bell, as if she was going to die in the very next second.

Zheng Yiyang stopped at that instant and let Jiang Xinduo fall to the ground.

Jiang Xinduo breathed in air vigorously. Le Feishan supported her and asked Zheng Yiyang again, “What do you want?”

Zheng Yiyang said nothing and just looked at the sky outside. With another gust of wind in the room, he disappeared. Le Feishan sighed in relief and asked Jiang Xinduo, “How are you?”

Jiang Xinduo had not been able to completely rid herself of the sensation of being suffocated. She looked around and in a trembling voice stammered, “He... he... he’s gone?”

“En,” said Le Feishan.

Jiang Xinduo’s eyes were filled with resentment as she accused, “It must be Le Yao, I’m sure, it must be him! I knew nothing good would happen if he came home!”

Le Feishan frowned and kept quiet.

Jiang Xinduo didn’t know what he was thinking about. After a while, she suddenly grasped Le Feishan and exclaimed, “Husband, let’s sue Le Yao. We’ll accuse him of abusing his ability to violate others’ personal privacy! Then the Emperor can’t let it go, un? You go and sue him!”

“Are you crazy? What are you going to say when you sue him? Do you want to force Zheng Yiyang into meeting the Emperor and telling him the truth of what happened in the past, and then you still want to live?”

Jiang Xinduo shouted, “I don’t care! What if Zheng Yiyang comes back... Mmmm!!”

Le Feishan covered Jiang Xinduo’s mouth and whispered, “Can’t you speak softly?”

Jiang Xinduo believed that Zheng Yiyang would come again. She kept looking around, but how could she see him? Only after Le Feishan told her that the undead would return to the underground during daytime did she loosen her tightly-strung heart.

What she didn’t know though, was that this was just the beginning.

Previously, Xu Yao had asked Yan Jie to check which transfer station was closest to the spot where Le Tianyu had his accident. Yan Jie found that it was Tianhe Transit Station. In these recent few days, thirteen spaceships, large and small, were flying to different planets from this station. Yan Jie sent the list to Xu Yao, while Leslie screened through all the passengers’ information.

“Leslie, check and see if there are any doctors on these thirteen ships, especially plastic surgeons.”

“You suspect that Le Tianyu wants to have plastic surgery?”

“At present, in addition to Tarot, Huaxia is the most suitable planet for human survival. You can travel to other planets for a short time, but it’s dangerous to stay there for a long time. Le Tianyu has been raised in the Le Family and so can’t live in a strange place alone for too long. Thus, if Le Feishan really wants to protect him, the best way to do that is to change his identity, ergo, changing his face and going back to Tarot.”

“But would Le Feishan really dare to take such a risk?” Even though Yan Jie thought that Xu Yao’s analysis was sound, Le Tianyu was currently the most crucial piece of evidence of his affair. He doubted whether Le Feishan would really ’keep’ Le Tianyu until the end, let alone let him go back to Tarot.

“It’s not that he doesn’t dare to, he can’t.” Xu Yao continued, “If we couldn’t summon the undead, I can guarantee you that Le Tianyu would die before dawn. But because we can call the undead here, Le Feishan will be concerned about killing Le Tianyu.”

“Brother Xu, do you mean that Le Tianyu may know something, so Le Feishan dare not let him die rashly?”

“Almost. Of course, this is just my current guess.” After a pause, Xu Yao asked, “Leslie, is there any result?”

“Yes.” Leslie said, “There are doctors in the list of recent passengers, but there are no plastic surgeons, not for the first half of the month. And the doctors we found were all the doctors on board, so no discrepancy has been found.”

“Would Le Feishan have sent a plastic surgeon somewhere before all this? If that’s the case, the scope of search will be too wide,” said Yan Jie.

“It’s impossible to send one that soon. He hasn’t touched this matter for so many years. If it wasn’t for the public opinion on the Internet, he wouldn’t send Le Tianyu away.”

“But if you want to do plastic surgery, at the very least you need to have certain medical equipment, right? Other than on Tarot, if there are such medical amenities available, they’ll be on Huaxia and various mining planets. But management on mining planets is very strict, so they might have used the medical facilities that are on the spacecraft. But, to stay on a spacecraft for all that time... I think it is unlikely.”

“There’s actually another place you should check,” said Xu Yao.

Leslie and Yan Jie asked in unison, “Which place?”

Xu Yao said, “Blood Prison.”

Blood Prison wasn’t close to Tarot. As the name implied, there were many prisoners incarcerated on this planet, and most of them were heavily-sentenced criminals. If someone wanted to change his status, this would be a really good place to do so. And who could guarantee that there was no one among the prisoners who could ’reshape’ Le Tianyu?

Leslie and Yan Jie immediately started investigating.

Le Yao slept through the morning, and by the time he woke up, Xu Yao had been invited to discuss some affairs in the Hall of the Great Moon again for a few days. Not seeing him after opening his eyes affected Le Yao so much that he sat on the bed and stayed like that for a while. Then he pinched his fingers in calculation and realised that Le Tianyu was still alive somewhere.

Hm? There seemed to be more guards at home. He discovered it when he stood at the window and looked down at the yard. Han Mo, the Captain of the guard team, was talking to them and there were more than ten people standing upright in front of him.

“Good morning, Mr Xiao Le.” Leslie’s voice sounded from the communicator, “The General is in the middle of the meeting and he told me to remind you to watch a video when you wake up.”

“What video?” asked Le Yao.

“Here.” Leslie projected the video onto the wall through Le Yao’s communicator.

The next second, Xu Yao’s image appeared. He was buttoning his clothes while he smiled and said, “Baby, I can’t bear to wake you up because you are sleeping so well. I have meetings all day today. I’m afraid I’ll be home late. If you get bored during the day, you can shop in the online mall or you can think about me.” Then he sat down beside the bed and gently kissed Le Yao’s forehead. “See you tonight.”

Le Yao: “...”

Obviously it was just a video, but Le Yao felt hot after watching it.

He had the cheek to ask Leslie to play it again. After watching it, he whispered against the wall, “This old rouge surely likes to tease... haa!” He sighed.

Leslie then said, “The General wanted to take you to Commander Guan’s house for dinner at night, but the Le Family now claims that Le Tianyu is dead. This time is not appropriate. The General said to visit after a few days.”

Le Yao thought for a moment before he replied, “Alright Leslie, I see.”

In fact, he kind of wanted to meet Guan Xuefeng’s wife. He had already asked Xu Yao to order custom-made small wood carved pendants in shapes of the sun, cloud, lightning and wind. These four were already in his hand and he wanted to personally send them. He had said that he could help people with their insomnia, so he would not break his promise.

Ye Linran’s group had now been renamed the ’Insomnia Therapy Group’. Le Yao occasionally said a few words in it. However, everyone was busy, so they didn’t talk much normally. In addition, the things he promised haven’t been delivered yet. These people haven’t seen the effect, so the group was relatively quiet.

Le Yao wondered, Ye Linran must know that he had arrived on Tarot, but for some reason it was not convenient for him to take the initiative to find this tranquil person. He looked for Uncle Ming instead. “Uncle Ming, do you think it would be troublesome for me to go out now?”

Uncle Ming said, “No trouble, where do you want to go?”

“I’d like to meet Uncle Guan’s wife. I think there are more guards outside today. Will it be safe to go out now? Will it add to their workload?”

Uncle Ming smiled, “No. In fact, previously, there weren’t so many guards. It’s just that as soon as you leave the General’s sight, he is not at ease. So he ordered the Guard Captain and called for some more people. In reality, no one would dare to provoke you at this time. The Emperor and Empress value you very much. Who would dare to find trouble with you?”

Le Yao thought about it and realised that Uncle Ming was right, so he contacted Ye Linran for a visit. He knew that Ye Linran was a combat aircraft and mecha designer. However, he didn’t know where this man worked.

Ye Linran received the voice message and quickly replied, “I am in the Research and Development Center belonging to our 12th Army. Are you coming, Xiao Le Yao?”

Le Yao asked, “Is it convenient to come there now, Uncle Ye? I’ll come for a visit if it’s convenient.”

Ye Linran said with a smile, “It’s convenient anytime you want to come. You are also a member of the 12th Army. What’s the problem with moving around in your own army? There’s no problem at all. If you haven’t had lunch, you can also have lunch with me at this time.”

Pondering upon that, Le Yao realised that he was the ’special skill instructor’ of the 12th Army!

After deciding to visit, Le Yao took a bath and put on his military uniform. Then he took the small wood carved pendants and got onboard the hover car.

Breakfast and lunch could be combined!

Yan Jie and the guards were accompanying him, while Uncle Ming stayed at home. At this time, no one knew that not only would they meet Ye Linran, but they would also meet Yan Jie’s nemesis.
