CHAPTER 292: CHAPTER 286: UNINVITED GUEST (PART 3)

Even the tavern here is packed, especially on the streetside, with a crowd by the windows.

Yun Ran sighed, "Is everyone here to see Marshal Yun? It seems like almost the entire city is on the move?"

"Of course! Marshal Yun is an idol in so many hearts!"

"Yue’er, I’m telling you, my cleverness paid off by booking these seats days in advance, otherwise we wouldn’t have gotten a spot!"

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a commotion below, and the crowd seemed visibly excited, craning their necks to look ahead with jubilant expressions.

"Has Marshal Yun arrived?"

Yun Ran immediately stood up, half of her body leaning out the window, while Shen Weixi called for her to be careful but meanwhile leaned half her body out as well.

A thunderous sound of hooves came from afar, the sound alone exuding a majestic grandeur.

Before seeing Marshal Yun, Yun Ran first caught sight of the Crown Prince.

At that moment, he was dressed in bright yellow brocade, his appearance as handsome as a jade, standing out from the crowd, leading a group of courtiers waiting for the incoming procession.

Yun Ran looked at Nangong Jue in the crowd, raising an eyebrow slightly, "I didn’t expect the Crown Prince to personally come outside the palace to greet him?"

Although Old Prince Yun was highly respected, for Nangong Jue...this action had some personal motives, right?

Shen Weixi, thinking that Yun Ran was not familiar with the court’s affairs, quickly explained, "The Crown Prince is always courteous and respectful in court, and Marshal Yun is like a pillar of our dynasty, respected by all! The Crown Prince personally coming to greet him is quite fitting; our Marshal Yun is deserving of such an honor!"

Yun Ran felt that Shen Weixi must be Marshal Yun’s number one fan!

"Weixi, if there’s a chance, how about we disguise ourselves as men and join the army under Marshal Yun in the future?"

At these words, Shen Weixi was initially taken aback, and then became very excited, "Sure, sure! That’s a great idea!"

But soon, she became deflated, "But will Prince Qin allow you to go?"

Yun Ran: "..."

That seems rather difficult to answer?

"It’s alright, don’t mind him, we’ll go on our own... Weixi, look quickly! They’ve arrived, but it seems Marshal Yun is not among them?"

Yun Ran carefully examined the few dozen riders at the very front of the procession and indeed did not see the familiar figure of the old man.

On the contrary, the leading person was a woman.

She was dressed in military uniform, covered with a white cape, her hair tied in a high ponytail, a treasured saber at her waist, sitting on a snow-white fine horse, exuding a valiant and heroic demeanor in the cold wind.

Her brows and eyes bore a slight resemblance to Old Prince Yun, her skin not as fair as most women, but her features were pleasingly attractive, with piercing and spirited eyes, exuding natural charisma.

Perhaps sensing Yun Ran’s focused gaze, the woman suddenly lifted her head to look at the upstairs, her eyes meeting Yun Ran’s unexpectedly.

Yun Ran suddenly felt a sense of guilty of being caught in the act of peeping...

She curved her mouth into a bright, harmless smile at her.

The woman gave a barely noticeable nod back, withdrawing her gaze.

"Weixi, she..."

Before Yun Ran could finish, several more gazes simultaneously turned towards her, all from the people around the woman.

Yun Ran’s expression froze, and she swiftly withdrew into her seat, avoiding those staring gazes.

Shen Weixi looked at Yun Ran with some concern, "Yue’er, are you scared? Don’t worry! They’re not bad people! Perhaps they’ve just stayed on the battlefield for too long and give off a heavy aura, don’t be afraid!"

Yun Ran: "..."

[Not really scared, just a bit guilty though...]

"Weixi, who was that woman just now? She looked like a General."

"Her? If I’m not mistaken, she is Marshal Yun’s eldest granddaughter, the renowned General Feiyu, Yun Luo!"

"Yue’er, she is the first female general with a title in our dynasty! Holding a third-rank military position!"

Saying this, Shen Weixi became excited again, grabbing Yun Ran’s hand with enthusiasm:

"Yue’er, she is my role model! In my lifetime, I want to become a female general like her and make a name in the official history!"

Yun Ran smiled and patted Shen Weixi’s shoulder, "You will! And in the future, the two of us will do it together!"

Shen Weixi looked forward eagerly, "We’ll have to keep it from Prince Qin, going discreetly!"

"Yue’er, let me point out to you, that one riding the chestnut Ferghana Horse is the second son of the Yun Family, a man whose bravery is rarely seen, his Red Moon Saber in hand reputedly weighs 360 jin! Unstoppable on the battlefield, countless souls lost under his blade!"

"And that one on the black warhorse, he is..."

"And over there..."

After Shen Weixi’s detailed introductions, Yun Ran suddenly noticed a person in the procession, furrowing her brows unconsciously, "Why does that person resemble Lin Yanran so closely?"
