Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 303

Kyoto.

Just as Shen Lingjun had predicted, after more than ten days, Shen Jingyang was able to move his legs freely and began to try walking.

After all, he hadn't been able to walk for almost two years. At first, his legs wouldn't obey him and he had no strength at all, but with daily practice, they gradually got better. Now, with the help of others, he can walk a long distance step by step.

Shen Lingjun told him not to rush, to take it step by step, and that he would fully recover his mobility sooner or later.

With hope in his heart, Shen Jingyang stopped staying at home and started to go out more often.

However, since he is still unable to walk normally, it would be unsightly for him to be helped to walk slowly and unsteadily outside, so he still uses a wheelchair when he goes out.

That day, Shen Lingjun accompanied Shen Jingyang to visit his mentor, General Luo, at General Luo's residence.

General Luo's health is deteriorating rapidly. He's completely confused, forgetting what he said before he finished speaking, and he sleeps more than he's awake. It's estimated that he doesn't have much time left.

Shen Lingjun secretly took General Luo's pulse, but there was nothing she could do.

General Luo is already eighty-one years old and is on the verge of death. Her lifespan is coming to an end, and it is beyond her power to save her.

As they left General Luo's mansion, Shen Lingjun was pushing Shen Jingyang's wheelchair, about to help him into the carriage, when a long procession of people appeared across the street.

Leading the way on horseback was Chu Tianming, fully armed and followed by a troop of personal guards, looking like he was about to go to war. Many people on the street were watching and seeing him off.

Although Chu Tianming was missing an arm, it wasn't very noticeable because he was covered by a cloak, and he still looked spirited. Dressed in gleaming armor, wearing a bright red brocade cloak, and riding a snow-white steed, he still seemed to be one of the dazzling twin jewels of the capital.

Among the surrounding crowd, many women looked at him with shining eyes, filled with admiration and love.

Shen Lingjun remembered that recently, several barbarian tribes in the south of Beiyi had started a rebellion, and the imperial court was sending troops to quell the unrest.

The barbarian uprising was not large-scale; it was unnecessary to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut. It wouldn't even warrant the attention of Grand Marshal Shen Wei. Sending a general with 30,000 to 50,000 troops would suffice.

Unexpectedly, even though Chu Tianming had lost an arm, this great opportunity to make a contribution still fell to him.

There's a reason why a centipede doesn't die easily; even though the Chu family has suffered losses, they are far from being completely defeated.

They probably hoped that Chu Tianming could seize this opportunity to quell the rebellion and make a contribution, thus salvaging the Chu family's current decline.

Shen Jingyang now looked at Chu Tianming with great indifference, only glancing at him briefly.

His legs are about to recover, and he is now in a stable emotional state. Chu Tianming can no longer make him feel humiliated or angry.

When Chu Tianming saw Shen Jingyang, his heart was filled with turmoil.

At this point, he was no longer as triumphant as he had been at General Luo's birthday banquet, but he still felt superior to Shen Jingyang.

Or rather, regardless of whether he has a sense of superiority or not, he must find a way to make himself feel superior.

Although he lost an arm, he has been practicing martial arts diligently lately, and his left hand is becoming more and more proficient. He has at least recovered 40% to 50% of his former martial arts skills.

Unlike Shen Jingyang, who is paralyzed on one side and cannot even stand up, he is a complete useless person.

He can still go to war and earn merit, while Shen Jingyang only holds the title of general in name only and can never go to the battlefield again.

This aroused him, and a wicked thought also arose in his mind.

Shen Jingyang rarely goes out, so it's a rare occasion to see him outside. Wouldn't it be satisfying to make him look bad in front of so many people on the street?

Chu Tianming acted immediately, spurring his horse toward Shen Jingyang.

"Brother Shen, are you here to visit General Luo?"

Chu Tianming pretended to greet Shen Jingyang, but did not dismount. When he walked up to Shen Jingyang, he secretly flicked the horse's neck where no one could see.

The horse he was riding was one he had trained himself. This command meant for the horse to kick the person in front of it over!
