Ghostly Masked Prince Xiao: Pampering and Spoiling the Little Adorable Consort

Chapter 269 – Moonless night with high winds, a tooth for a tooth

When Chu Qing-Yan finished speaking, she lowered her head and started to draw.

“This kind of concealed weapon is called killing bamboo raft. Just chop down the bamboo and link it into a bamboo raft shape. One end should be carved very sharp, then use a rope to tie it to the top of the tree. You can use the lush vegetations to conceal it. If it was set up to a larger extent, it can form a bamboo raft matrix!”

Finished drawing one kind, Chu Qing-Yan didn’t stop, she continued to draw with the stick.

“This kind of concealed weapon is called thousand catties prison. As long as people step in and set off the mechanism, the links of wood would automatically close. The sharp top would pierce into the meaty body. While this desolate forest has thick under bushes. If you guys hide the thousands catty prison under piles of straw, it would be very easy for the enemy to fall into this trap.”

Chu Qing-Yan drew two concealed weapons. They were very simple and also easy to operate. Now the situation was urgent, if she drew more, they won’t be able to carry it out one by one, so she chose two concealed weapons that were the most appropriate for the current environment.

When she lifted her head, she saw everyone had the same expression of seeing a ghost while being alive as they looked at her. Chu Qing-Yan blushed slightly with shame. Could it be that her body had been possessed by the ghost in the mountains?

“Little Consort, this subordinate never thought you would know so much.” Fire Spirit was amazed, the so called know so much was talking about her ability to exploit the current terrain, enemy’s psychology as well as their side’s current strength to set up so many traps. If it was not that they were people that were well versed in deploying soldiers, it would be very hard for others to think of such countermeasures in such a short time. Although the weapons couldn’t be considered refined, they could already be considered very good.

“There are a lot more things you guys don’t know. Stop wasting words, quickly go prepare! Time is life!” Although Chu Qing-Yan somewhat liked seeing their recognition, right now the most important thing was dealing with the enemy. Other matters were all insignificant.

Wood Spirit looked at the concealed weapons on the ground, his heart was incomparably excited. Although the first killer bamboo raft was a common concealed weapon, but the Little Consort had added some slight improvements. She added weight at the tail of the bamboo, if this concealed weapon was launched, that weight would move from the tail of the bamboo to the sharp tip. That was equivalent to raising the killing power by several folds.

And that thousand catties prison, he simply had never imagined something like it before. Actually to be able to design such a mechanism in wood, if not for the situation right now wouldn’t permit it, he would have kneeled in worship to the Little Consort.

Earth Spirit glanced at her and a thread of gratitude flashed through his eyes. Sure enough, she didn’t let him be disappointed.

Seeing everyone was eager to get started, Chu Qing-Yan revealed her white tooth, giving a crafty smile.

A moonless night with high winds is a night perfect for a tooth for a tooth!

Earth Spirit brought the hidden guards to go make the preparations, while Wood Spirit also brought people to go quickly and make the concealed weapons, thriving to set up all the concealed weapons before those people got halfway up the mountain.

“Fire Spirit ah, these are the cheapest concealed weapons I have ever made ah. But their destructive powers are no less than those sharp weapons made using thousands of pounds of gold.” Wood Spirit said this ruefully while directing people to make these weapons.

Fire Spirit was pulled over to help Wood Spirit dig, his actions were hurried and unfamiliar so he couldn’t help but glare at Wood Spirit. “Get a move on it, just wait until we escape from here, I will support you to go ask the Little Consort to be your teacher.”

Wood Spirit smiled and immediately buried his head to finish the matter at hand.

Everyone went out, only Air Spirit remained behind.

Chu Qing-Yan smiled at him, then continued to softly stroke the person in her arms. She had heard that people that were seriously injured or ill would be restless when sleeping . Don’t know if she does this, whether Big Block of Ice would sleep a bit better.

Air Spirit looked at Chu Qing-Yan who had thrown herself wholeheartedly into taking care of master. All of a sudden, he felt that he had really misunderstood her before.

“Little Consort.” His tone wasn’t as perfunctory as before as he sincerely said this.

“What’s wrong.” Chu Qing-Yan lifted her head and looked at him with questions, her eyes turned. “Did you think of a way to save His Highness?”

Air Spirit shook his head, an apology appeared on his face.

Chu Qing-Yan knew her heart was too impatient so she quickly said. “Air Spirit, you mustn’t be too anxious. Sometimes when you force yourself too much, it would actually produce the opposite result. I also shouldn’t be so anxious, really sorry.”

Air Spirit smiled slightly. “Little Consort doesn’t need to comfort me, I understand.”

After seeing he didn’t take it to heart, only then did Chu Qing-Yan feel relieved. She continued with the topic from before. “What did you want to say to me just now?”

“Little Consort, do you know when master was first injured? Not those kinds of small scale injuries, rather an injury that could endanger one’s life.” Air Spirit said.

Chu Qing-Yan didn’t know why he would suddenly mention this matter, however she still sincerely shook her head. “I don’t know.”

“Five years old.” Air Spirit softly spit out these words. As expected, he saw the person in front of him open her eyes wide. Air Spirit continued to say. “That day was master’s birthday. The palace maids brought him to the imperial garden to pick flowers. But don’t know why master somehow walked into a cold palace by himself. An imperial concubine that had gone insane took broken pieces of porcelain and stuck it into master’s chest.”

“What? How could she do something like that to a five year old child?” Chu Qing-Yan couldn’t help but say this in fury.

At that time Big Block of Ice was only a five year old child, how could he resist an adult’s strength? Moreover, it was a madwoman that had lost all her reason.

At that time, Big Block of Ice must have been really frightened. A burst of pain came from Chu Qing-Yan’s heart, as if that piece of porcelain separated by 15 years had been stabbed into her own heart!

Air Spirit coldly smiled. “Afterwards it was found that concubine had eaten food with Fantasy Incense medicine, in the end she was put to death.”

Such a coincidence? Big Block of Ice wandered away and just so happened to go to the cold palace? While the imperial concubine in that cold palace just so happened to eat food with medicine?

Everything shouldn’t be so timely okay?

Chu Qing-Yan had already guessed that there was certainly a person inciting this behind the scenes.

Finished speaking about this matter, Air Spirit continued to say. “Recently, several of the times he was seriously injured, it happened on the battlefield. Fortunately master’s foundation was good, if it was switched to someone else, I’m afraid they would have already died and entered the underworld.”

Chu Qing-Yan nodded, somewhat glad that after meeting so many trials and tribulations, he still staunchly lived on, giving her the opportunity of a lifetime to meet him.

With regards to Big Block of Ice, although the army camp was the most bitter place, it was probably also the place where he was the most relaxed and free!

Before she was very curious how Big Block of Ice would know to teach a little child. Clearly he was a person that often lived in army camps, how could he know of such matters? Moreover, he was still a bachelor in his prime!

It wasn’t until afterwards when Fire Spirit accidently let it slip once that she found out. Big Block of Ice wanted her to feel like Prince Ying manor was her home, so many times he convened everyone, thinking of ways to stealthily learn such experiences from his subordinates, aides and advisors, as well as those so called test papers.

These matters caused her to laugh for a very long time. But after laughing, she became taciturn.

His dictionary didn’t have the words “take care of people”. But just for her, he learned it from others, one brush stroke at a time. Afterwards, he poured it into her body bit by bit, as if raising a little sprout. He put all his feelings into wanting this little sprout to quickly grow up!

How could she not be moved by this!

That was to say starting from that time, she had really placed this invulnerable, brave and good at fighting person bit by bit into her own heart.
