Chapter 1141: Chapter 48 Meng Shuai’s Military Chronicles 4 [2-in-1]_2 Chapter 1141: Chapter 48 Meng Shuai’s Military Chronicles 4 [2-in-1]_2 Hmm, an interesting incident occurred during this period.

Many people tried in different ways, attempting to ask the General if he wanted to take concubines…

The General firmly refused.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Among them, the beloved sole daughter of the governor’s family admired the General the most, with love deeply ingrained in her heart, vowing to marry none but him.

After being rejected, the young lady was extremely desolate and chased after the General on horseback, asking, “Is it because I am so ugly that I do not deserve you?”

The General replied, no.

The young lady asked, “Why would you keep a commoner’s wife instead of marrying a noble lady?”

The General answered, “A wife from humble beginnings is for life’s commitment, not to be abandoned.”

The lady, unwilling to give up, wanted to ask further.

The General frowned and said, “Before the world knew of the General, commoner’s wives bid farewell to their husbands going to war, hoping day and night for their safe return. In countless battles, not knowing life or death, they waited three more years on top of another three. Now that there is a General, the commoner’s wife remains the same.”

“To such deep kindness, I shall be faithful for life!”

The young lady said, “A great man with three wives and four concubines is a matter of course.”

The General stated, “To find a devoted partner and remain unchanging for life is the way.”

Admiring his words, the lady left, saying, “I shall not tarnish the General’s honorable reputation. I take my leave now, but should you change your mind one day, remember that there is still a beauty waiting in this old place.”

The General indifferently said, “I cannot in this lifetime!”

The lady’s eyes brightened, “Will you promise the next life?”

“Nor in the next life either!”

The General rode away, leaving only her red garments, on the ancient road of the long pavilions, their tearful eyes gazing longingly at each other, piercing with hope.

…

Before the General even entered Capital City, the story of “A wife from humble beginnings, faithful for life” had already spread throughout the streets of Capital City, even reaching the desk in the Qin Emperor’s study room.

“To find a devoted partner and remain unchanging for life!”

“To be together in this life, and not to part in the next three.”

The Qin Emperor sighed in admiration and praised, “General Meng truly has a noble character, a role model for Great Qin.”

Thus came the decree, bestowing the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady upon General Meng Fang’s wife, Yu Rou!

A great man earns fame upon the battlefield, and his wife and children should be ennobled, their lineage lasting for generations.

Aside from not yet having a son, the General had achieved every aspect of this goal.

As soon as the news spread, Fei Xinyu, Wu Tiejun, and Ma Qiange, three single men, expressed their discomfort, full of envy and resentment.

All because their elders at home rebuked them non-stop: “Look at Meng Fang! Younger than you! Less experienced! Yet he already has a wife and a household! And you are still leeching off your families! Do you have no shame? Do you?”

“You tell me, is there any shame left in you?”

“After so many years, you’ve all been living like dogs, do you understand what it means to be called a ‘single dog’?”

“It is Doctor Feng’s wise saying that perfectly captures it—’single dog’ is such an apt description, a true insight!”

“Unable to find even a wife, what use are you? Calling you dogs is an insult to the dogs!”

Especially Wu Tiejun and Ma Qiange, who were scolded even more fiercely: “It’s understandable for Fei Xinyu not to find a wife! His reputation has long been tainted, having been nibbled by a man; it’s only natural he can’t find a wife… But what’s wrong with you two? Have you been touched by a man? Haven’t heard of that, could it be you’ve touched a man? Truly such a headache!”

The three Generals clenched their teeth in anger. How could we have possibly been with a man, who spread this rumor?!

They resolved to beat up Meng Fang when they got the chance!

Why did he have to find a wife so early?

Wasn’t he just making things difficult for us?

And by the time Ma Qiange returned to Capital City to report on his duties, Wu Tiejun and Fei Xinyu were still at the front lines.

Both sent urgent missives, demanding that Ma Qiange must avenge their frustrations!

I can’t stand this humiliation! I’ve always been the one to bully others, how can I be bullied like this?

…

Meng Fang and his entourage arrived at the Black Mountain at nightfall, and advancing into the Capital at night had always been a great taboo.

With a grand gesture, General Meng encamped three hundred miles outside of Capital City and sent messengers to report their arrival at night, without any omissions.

That night.

In the depths of the night.

Without stars or moon.

Menacing shadows suddenly appeared near the camp, stealthily creeping in!

Assassins came to kill!

And it was a dangerously extreme attempt at assassination.

To ensure success, the enemy deployed over a dozen Heavenly Level combatants, all of whom were prepared to die!

They were determined not to stop until Meng Fang was dead.

However, Meng Fang had many skilled fighters under his command, especially since this return to Capital City included royal guards providing an escort, to ensure his safe return.

As soon as they detected the approaching enemies, his personal guards swiftly formed a battle formation, creating the innermost layer of defense — these were the General’s most trusted men, who would never stab Meng Fang in the back!

The royal guards took up positions on the outer perimeter, launching the first resistance.

Meng Fang didn’t show any intention of hiding; he stood proudly aloft, directing the containment with a calm demeanor, unmoved as an ancient well.

For a moment, the shouts and cries of battle filled the sky.

“These are not merely assassins! General, quickly take cover!”

As the battle briefly tipped, the leader of the personal guards confirmed this much, becoming frantic with urgency.

The attackers were not just assassins; they were death warriors, and moreover, hitmen!

The strategy to confront an assassin differed vastly from that for a hitman: assassins aim for a single strike and retreat thousands of miles if they miss, leaving the opportunity for next time, while also leaving a chance for both parties to live, but a hitman is fixated on a do-or-die strike, unscrupulous about the means to achieve the goal, especially death warriors, who consider even their own lives expendable to ensure the assassination’s success!

There stood more than a dozen Heavenly Level masters, all hitmen death warriors, all for one person, not hesitating to sacrifice everything!

“No matter!”, Meng Fang proclaimed.
