Volume 9: Nine Reincarnations Chapter 1334: Nine Reincarnations! (Part 3)
It was not until the third life that Shen Luoyan's reincarnated body was finally able to speak, but he was still weak and sickly.
In the third life, Shen Luoyan was the daughter of a general and was very much loved, while Li Xuanfeng was just an ordinary soldier in the general's mansion.
Originally, the two had no intersection at all. It was because Shen Luoyan, who was in her prime, went out for a trip one day that the general arranged a pair of people to protect her. Li Xuanfeng happened to be among them and met Shen Luoyan.
Li Xuanfeng's attention was immediately attracted by the extremely beautiful Shen Luoyan, causing countless ripples in his heart.
But Li Xuanfeng knew the disparity in their status, so he didn't dare to think too much and immediately suppressed the ripples in his heart.
While playing by the river, three poisonous snakes suddenly jumped out as if they were disturbed and attacked Shen Luoyan, causing her to scream and run away!
Shen Luoyan was followed by two maids. Although they were also extremely frightened at this time, they still stepped forward decisively to block the attacking poisonous snake.
But this kind of poisonous snake was extremely fast. The two maids only had time to block one each, and the other one suddenly chased after Shen Luoyan.
Li Xuanfeng, whose eyes had been fixed on Shen Luoyan, discovered the poisonous snake almost at the same time as her. Before she could exclaim, he rushed out immediately, got to Shen Luoyan first, and kicked the poisonous snake away.
Afterwards, Li Xuanfeng killed the poisonous snake that the two maids were dealing with, long before the other guards.
Seeing Li Xuanfeng's decisive look, Shen Luoyan's eyes lit up and she asked in a gentle voice, "What's your name?"
After hearing Li Xuanfeng's answer, Shen Luoyan praised him in front of everyone: "You should learn more from Li Xuanfeng, otherwise if I had to wait for you to save me, I would have died many times!"
Shen Luoyan admired Li Xuanfeng very much and immediately asked him to protect her closely. After returning to the general's mansion after the trip, she even asked her father to arrange him as her bodyguard.
After Shen Luoyan's father learned that Li Xuanfeng had saved his daughter, he agreed to this matter with great appreciation, which made Li Xuanfeng very surprised. From then on, he could stay by her side every day.
From then on, whenever Shen Luoyan walked out of the room, Li Xuanfeng would be close to protect her and they were almost inseparable.
When Li Xuanfeng was around, Shen Luoyan would find a lot of topics to chat with him, and her lively personality made Li Xuanfeng's heart beat fast.
At first, Li Xuanfeng didn't dare to respond because of his identity, but gradually he relaxed and was able to chat and laugh with Shen Luoyan in a relatively relaxed manner.
Shen Luoyan was also quite surprised at her own performance. She seemed to have endless words to say to Li Xuanfeng, as if she owed him countless words in her previous life, which made her want to talk endlessly in this life.
Many maids and guards also noticed Shen Luoyan's special feelings for Li Xuanfeng and felt that the two had become best friends.
Shen Luoyan also found many famous books for Li Xuanfeng to read, and practiced martial arts with him, as if wanting to cultivate him.
After only a few years, Li Xuanfeng's knowledge and martial arts had undergone tremendous changes, even surpassing most of the captains in the army.
However, Li Xuanfeng has not shown it in front of others. He is just guarding Shen Luoyan, and many soldiers are not aware of it.
Although the general loved his daughter very much, when Shen Luoyan reached her prime, many civil and military officials came to propose marriage for their offspring.
The general immediately spoke in a gentle voice to discuss the matter with his daughter, but Shen Luoyan rejected all the ministers' sons, which surprised him greatly.
Although he knew that his daughter already possessed considerable knowledge and it was normal for her to have high standards, the young men he had just mentioned were already among the top students, but his daughter did not seem to be interested in any of them.
The general immediately advised in a gentle voice: "It is common sense that men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. Dad can't take care of you forever. You also need to find your own ideal husband to take care of you."
After hearing this, Shen Luoyan smiled and said, "My daughter already has a husband of her dreams in her heart."
The general immediately smiled and said, "Who is it that this general's daughter thinks so highly of?"
Shen Luoyan immediately pointed at Li Xuanfeng who was standing not far away and said, "It's him, Li Xuanfeng."
The general didn't expect that his daughter's favorite man was actually a little guard. He immediately shouted angrily: "Nonsense, how can he be worthy of you!"
After hearing this, Shen Luoyan immediately said solemnly: "Xuan Feng is now no weaker than your deputy general, but he has not had the opportunity to show his ability."
Seeing her father's expression full of disbelief, Shen Luoyan continued, "Father, if you don't believe me, we can make a bet. You take him to the military camp. If his martial arts and military tactics can surpass your deputy general, then you will obey your daughter's wishes."
Seeing his daughter's determination towards Li Xuanfeng, General Shen immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, I agree to your bet!"
He dotes on his daughter very much and doesn't want her to be unhappy for the rest of her life. If Li Xuanfeng really has such ability, he can be considered worthy of his daughter.
Afterwards, Shen Luoyan sent all the maids away and spent time alone with Li Xuanfeng. She smiled and said, "Xuanfeng, what do you think of me?"
Li Xuanfeng bowed respectfully and said, "Young lady has a stunning appearance and a brilliant mind. She is a first-class woman in the world."
Shen Luoyan smiled happily after hearing this, and continued to smile and said: "Have you ever thought about marrying me in the future?"
Li Xuanfeng's expression suddenly showed a lot of panic, and he immediately said respectfully: "I was born in a humble , and I would never dare to have such a delusion!"
Shen Luoyan's expression suddenly showed a lot of loneliness, and two lines of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. She said very sadly: "You wooden head, don't you know that I have been in love with you for a long time? Do you want to watch my father marry me to the son of another minister?"
Li Xuanfeng was shocked after hearing this. Seeing Shen Luoyan crying, he felt extremely distressed. He spoke out his true feelings immediately in a hurry: "I have fallen in love with you at first sight. Naturally, I don't want to see you marry someone else. But I never dared to think that I could win your favor."
Hearing Li Xuanfeng's words, Shen Luoyan's tears stopped instantly, and she showed a very brilliant smile: "I have made a bet with my father. I want you to go to the military camp and make merit. As long as your martial arts and military tactics can surpass his deputy general, he will agree to our marriage. For me, you have to work hard."
Seeing Shen Luoyan's crying face and smiling face change instantly, Li Xuanfeng immediately understood that Shen Luoyan was trying to force him to speak out his true feelings.
However, Li Xuanfeng still felt extremely happy. He also knew what Shen Luoyan was thinking and had made up his mind to perform well in the military camp.
Shen Luoyan happily prepared the things Li Xuanfeng would need to go to the military camp, her expression full of anticipation: "Xuanfeng, I believe in you and am waiting for you to marry me."
At the same time, Li Xuanfeng also told Li Xuanfeng many things, worried that he would be in danger in the army.
Li Xuanfeng suddenly felt Shen Luoyan's feelings more deeply, and secretly decided in his heart that he would not let her down and must work hard to marry her.
The next day, General Shen took Li Xuanfeng to the military camp, but he did not spoil him at all. He said that he was someone who wanted to join the army when he met him on the road, and directly threw him into the ranks of ordinary soldiers.
Not only that, General Shen also privately instructed his deputy general to teach Li Xuanfeng a lesson.
Before meeting Shen Luoyan, Li Xuanfeng lived in the military camp and was very accustomed to it. However, this time he entered a different team and faced all kinds of difficulties from the deputy general.
But Li Xuanfeng is no longer the same Li Xuanfeng as before. He copes with the deputy general's difficulties with ease, causing the deputy general to suffer a lot of losses.
For example, the deputy general finally found a reason to personally go down to compete with Li Xuanfeng. He originally thought that he could easily defeat Li Xuanfeng, but unexpectedly, he was beaten off the stage by Li Xuanfeng.
Since then, Li Xuanfeng has become famous in this team and is known by many soldiers. His martial arts skills are already better than those of a deputy general.
But Li Xuanfeng knew very well in his heart that it was not enough to just surpass Shen Luoyan in martial arts. In terms of military strategy, Li Xuanfeng had secretly decided that he must make many contributions so that he could marry Shen Luoyan with a better status in the future.
Knowing his daughter's determination and seeing that Li Xuanfeng was indeed very capable and hardworking, General Shen also began to use him.
Only three years later, Li Xuanfeng had become the strongest deputy general in the army, and many soldiers felt that the general was intending to train him to be his successor.
It was also in this year that Li Xuanfeng, wearing armor and with a red cloak fluttering behind him, returned to the general's mansion to meet Shen Luoyan.
A month later, the general's mansion was decorated with lights and Li Xuanfeng married Shen Luoyan, and the lovers finally got married.
Later, with the support of Shen Luoyan, Li Xuanfeng achieved more and more military exploits and was respected by all the soldiers. Even the emperor had heard of him.
Fifteen years later, Li Xuanfeng took over the position of general with the support of countless soldiers, and General Shen began to retire and enjoy life.
After taking over the position of general, Li Xuanfeng showed even stronger talent in commanding troops, and made great military achievements for the court. He was even close to retiring as an old general within two years.
A good story has been circulating in the army: the old general had a keen eye for talent and found a good son-in-law, and trained him to become a talented general. Two generations of generals in the family have devoted their lives to the court.
The only regret is that the major general and his wife did not have a son or daughter, otherwise there is a great possibility that they would become famous generals for three generations.
The Shen Family General's Mansion not only made great military achievements, but was also loyal to the court. It was deeply trusted and valued by the emperor, and had become a leading powerful family in the court.
Although he had no children, Li Xuanfeng never remarried. Instead, he and Shen Luoyan adopted two orphans, a boy and a girl.
The couple treated their adopted son and daughter as their own and raised them carefully. Although they did not become generals due to their weak constitution, they did become good civil servants.
The adopted daughter was also extremely outstanding, and later became the virtuous wife of a young minister, whom this man cherished very much.
