My Wife is A Sword God

Qin Feng returned from the Peaceful Academy to find several carriages parked outside the Qin residence.

Unable to bear the insincere flattery he had received earlier in the day, he had fled under the pretext of teaching.

Unexpectedly, when he returned, these people hadn’t left yet?

When  Lan Ningshuang saw one of the carriages, she exclaimed, “Young Master, it seems someone from the lady’s family has arrived.”

Because there was a symbol engraved on this carriage, the emblem of the Divine Marquis army flag!

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow at the words and entered the residence accompanied by Ningshuang.

After hearing the news from the gatekeeper, Qin Feng and Ningshuang hurried to the main hall. It was dinner time, and the atmosphere in the hall was somewhat strange.

Father-in-law Liu Tianluo sat calmly on one side, his expression indifferent.

On the other side, a stocky and imposing middle-aged man in military fatigues with a black beard was staring at him with his eyes wide open.

Qin Feng didn’t recognise this person, but Ningshuang did and exclaimed, “General Lie, War Duke!”

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng raised an eyebrow.

War Duke, Lie Ying!

Although he didn’t know him, it didn’t mean that he hadn’t heard of him.

The Great Qian Army had numerous units, the most famous being the Divine Marquis Army Army led by his father-in-law.

However, following the principle of one thing leading to another, the second most famous army after the Divine Marquis Army was the Military War Duke Army commanded by War Duke!

With his personal martial prowess at Divine Martial Third Rank and a bold marching style, he would personally lead the charge in battle.

The most talked about event was when the War Duke’s military army marched to eliminate the demons  and ghosts in the Eastern Domain. The opposing demon king was a seventh calamity cycle, a force not to be underestimated.

Normally, when facing an unknown demon king with an unknown divine power, the correct approach would be to cautiously investigate first.

But General Li didn’t say a word, he raised his azure dragon sword, leapt into the air, and directly engaged in battle with the demon king. The battle lasted for a day and a night before he finally killed his opponent.

Perhaps due to the influence of this general, his subordinates were also a group of fearless warriors.

Adhering to the principle of ‘killing one doesn’t hurt, killing two earn blood’, they faced demons and ghosts without hesitation.

For this reason, the Divine Marquis Army was called the strongest army in Great Qian, and the Military War Duke Army was hailed as the bravest.

Whether this ‘bravest’ was sincere praise or an implication of courage without strategy was a matter of perspective.

When the Second Mother saw Qin Feng return, she pulled him out of the main hall and truthfully explained the situation.

After hearing this, Qin Feng showed a strange expression: “General Liel is indeed… quite a character.”

If he was not someone with a strong character, how could he say something without thinking, even wanting to marry his own six-year-old daughter?

Lan Ningshuang, standing next to him, smiled helplessly. “General Liel has always been like that.”

“Ningshuang, from your tone, it seems like you’re quite familiar with General Liel?” Qin Feng asked curiously.

Lan Ningshuang nodded and repLied, “Before Miss and I went to Myriad Sword Sect, whenever General Lie had free time, as long as Master Liu was not on a campaign, he would come to our house to seek advice on military strategy.”

“And Master Liu respected General Liel’s character and never hid anything from him.”

Hearing this, Qin Feng gained a new understanding of his father-in-law’s behaviour.

“War Duke’s army is so powerful, if General Lie could learn the art of warfare, it would undoubtedly be like adding wings to a tiger,” Qin Feng mused.

To Qin Feng’s surprise, Lan Ningshuang shook her head. “If only that were the case, it would have been acceptable. However, General Lie, despite his remarkable bravery, is rather stubborn.” 

“When the head of the Liu family explained military tactics to him, shared personal battle experiences, and asked how he would approach such situations, General Lie’s response was consistently the same – charge forward with a knife and strike down the leader first.”

“Eh,” Qin Feng opened his mouth, unsure of how to judge this.

To call him reckless wouldn’t be entirely wrong; after all, to catch a thief, one must catch the leader.

But to say he isn’t reckless… What normal general would make such brainless decisions? If he falls into an ambush and dies in battle, the Military War Duke Army’s morale will surely collapse, and it will disintegrate!

“After a while, the head of the Liu family realized that some individuals are simply impossible to reason with. He gave up attempting to teach General Lie military tactics and allowed him to learn on his own.”

“As a result, General Lie perceived the head of the Liu family as withholding knowledge and being unwilling to instruct him. Consequently, their once amicable relationship soured. Whenever they met at court, General Lie would criticize the head of the Liu family.”

“Incredible,” Qin Feng exclaimed in astonishment. His father-in-law’s experience reminded him of a saying – truly, it’s like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, not recognizing a good man!

‘Oh no, then this stubborn old man must have come to me to learn military tactics. But with his intelligence, can he truly learn?’

Back in the main hall, a lavish dinner had been prepared. But looking at General Lie devouring his food, did he really look like someone who had just eaten and drunk to his heart’s content?

‘By the way, didn’t you come to me to learn military tactics? Why are you eating alone?’

Qin Feng smiled, offering his father-in-law a cup of wine politely.

“Fill mine as well.” General Lie filled his cup, downed it in one gulp, and extended it to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng: .”

After a cup of wine, followed by a mouthful of hot soup and meat, General Lie sighed, “The food at your villa is really good. I’ll come to visit often in the future.”

Upon hearing this, the members of the Qin family wore extremely unpleasant expressions; he really didn’t consider himself an outsider, did he?

At that moment, General Lie slapped his forehead and said, “Look at my memory. After enjoying good food and wine, I almost forgot about business.” 

“Boy, I heard that earlier you were competing academically with those guys from the National Academy, creating a series of military tactics on The Hundred Battle Martial Arts Board. I came here this time to ask for the complete contents of your military tactics so that I can study them carefully when I return.”

“This…” 

War Duke is not a family member after all. Qin Feng naturally understood the importance of Sun Tzu’s Art of War, so he did not dare to spread it around casually,  so he looked at his father-in-law beside him as if asking for help.

Liu Tianluo gently shook his wine cup and said indifferently, “Even if he tells the art of war, with your ability, how can you understand it?”

Qin Feng looked up in surprise when he heard this. How could the gentle father-in-law, the god of war, say such strange words?

Remembering Ningshuang’s words earlier, Qin Feng could roughly guess the situation. Even with the father-in-law’s demeanour, it seemed difficult to tolerate General Lie’s rough attitude.

Lie Ying slammed the table and stood up, “General Liu, what do you mean by that? Keeping secrets for yourself is one thing, but inciting your son-in-law to do the same?” 

“Do you really think I’m easy to bully? If you have the courage, come and fight me. If you win, I’ll avoid you whenever I see you in the future!”

Liu Tianlu remained unmoved, raised his wine cup, drank it in one gulp, and then said, “Since he wants to hear it, just tell him. I came here for this military strategy anyway.”

With his father-in-law’s words, Qin Feng no longer hesitated.

Upon hearing this, Lie Ying grinned and said, “I thought the Divine General of Great Qian knew everything.” 

“In the end, they are no different from me, seeking guidance in military tactics from a young man. These so-called divine generals of The Great Qian are just a facade, nothing but a facade?”

‘It’s just a facade after all for a stubborn man.’ Qin Feng silently muttered to himself.
