Chapter 1

The morning sun spread across the soundly sleeping face, bringing warmth and comfort.

Feng Ming opened his eyes, half asleep he accepted the last night feeling he had endured – a residual trace of numbness was felt from his lower back. His eyes swept the entire room.

Looking around, his eyes rested upon the person next to him, the face of Xi Lei King appeared within his sight.

“Are you secretly watching me?”

“Secretly watching? I am looking at you in an upstanding way.” Rong Tian stretched out a finger and pointed at his nose.

Lying on the same bed as Feng Ming, Rong Tian was turned on his side, his head resting on a propped arm, looking at his lover.

Feng Ming softly patted the hand that had just touched his nose, “You didn’t sleep all night?” “Who said that? I always wake up earlier than you, little slacker.”

“Rong Tian.”

“Ah?...”

“Your eyes...are bloodshot.” Feng Ming copied Rong Tian and stretched out his index finger to point at his impeccable shaped nose, proudly saying, “Lying in my presence, I caught you red­handed, right?!”

As a dignified King of Xi Lei, perhaps Feng Ming is the only one who dares to point at him so casually.

Like a small rabbit raising its paw, intimidating a lion within the jungle.

Rong Tian didn’t hesitate to grasp the white soft hand, while frowning he said, “How come you are suddenly smarter today?”

“Are you still reluctant to leave me?” Feng Ming nestled within the large chest and broad shoulders.

Rong Tian’s body temperature always seems to be higher than his.

Nice and warm.

Feng Ming suddenly whispered, “In the past, I used my title as Crown Prince to head to Fan Jia and before leaving, you didn’t want to see me, which made me incredibly sad. Now I realize that not meeting during the moment of separation is better, then it wouldn’t be so painful...”

“You fool.” Rong Tian laughed out loud while looking adoringly at him, “Wait until I finish my mission and I’ll come find you. It won’t be long until then so there is no need to feel sad, alright?”

Feng Ming gently hummed in response, closely snuggling in Rong Tian’s arms and remained silent.

The two of them embraced each other, looking outside the window as the sun continued to rise, the world slowly waking up, the sound of footsteps from outside was faintly heard....

The time they had together was not much, but one second cannot be turned into one day, and one day cannot be changed into one year.

Just like the calm, quiet tides, if there were no disturbance then the time would stop at this moment forever.

But a wish is only a wish, in a short while, the footsteps had stopped in front of the door.

The familiar voices of the maids were heard, “Your Majesty, Duke Ming, we’ve come to serve you.”

The door was cautiously opened, sunlight followed in, spreading across the room, the silence from before quickly ceased.

Though Rong Tian was not willing to, he had to remove Feng Ming from his embrace and got up from the bed; smiling, he said, “Has Zi Yan arranged all the preparations already?”

“I’m here!” Zi Yan appeared at the doorway in a traveling outfit. His calves were tightly tied in a meticulous way, a dagger was hidden on his waist. A simple baggage was carried over his back, his upper and lower body were physically fit. Facing Rong Tian, he reported, “Your Majesty, everything is prepared. We can start our journey.”

Feng Ming was feeling anxious inside.

After coming to this time period, even though the time together with Rong Tian was less and separation had been long, those times of separation were unexpected so he had never experienced the feeling of seeing his lover heading off.

No matter how much mental preparation was done in advance, in this moment he realized how painful this indescribable feeling was...

Chiu Lan handed Rong Tian a prepared outfit, “Your Majesty, these are the clothing that a regular business person usually dresses, allow me to help you wear it.”

Rong Tian nodded, Chiu Yue walked over beside Chiu Lan to help dress Rong Tian.

Feng Ming watched him standing there, being waited on by the two maids, his tall handsome stature, calmly raising his arms and legs, emitting an unique majestic appeal, the more he watched him the more his heartbeat quickened.

At this moment, he realized how important Rong Tian was to him.

As long as Rong Tian was next to him, he didn’t need to be afraid or worry about anything.

Without Rong Tian around, no matter how many people are around him, it would be useless.

“What are you staring at?” Rong Tian turned his head to look around, suddenly catching Feng Ming’s gaze, knowing that he was worried, Rong Tian deliberately got his attention.

Feng Ming was startled, he went silent for a moment before smiling at Rong Tian. Taking in a long breath, he regained his spirit and jumped off the bed, adjusted his belt and then yelled out, “Chiu Xing, come over here, select a beautiful looking outfit for Duke Ming. This time, while traveling, I want to display my magnificent, prowess demeanor.”

“Yes, Duke Ming!” Chiu Xing rushed over to serve him.

Once the two of them finished dressing, everyone else was present.

Rong Hu and Lie Er were the first ones to enter, Lie Zhong Liu followed after bringing along Lie Zhong Shi and Lie Dou, the two big men who love to quarrel.

Feng Ming was curious and asked Lie Zhong Liu, “How come I don’t see Lady Lie?”

Lie Zhong Liu smiled and replied, “She had been looking forward to having a smart disciple and after finding one, she immediately started inculcating him with her teachings.”

“Before dawn, Qian Lin was dragged off from his bed by Lady Lie.” Rong Hu added.

Lie Er burst out laughing, “That’s right, his master was pinching his ears and scolding him. As a successor to the Wei’s Art of War and yet he dares to sleep in. This time, Qian Lin is in big trouble.”

“You shouldn’t accuse innocent Qian Lin. That time, it was obvious the sun wasn’t out yet, he has always been punctual and follow the rules on getting up.”

“But according to his master, he must get up an hour before dawn. Haha, from today onward, Qian Lin will be completely pitiful.”

Feng Ming stuck out his tongue.

Must get up an hour before dawn? Luckily, he is not as talented and clever as Qian Lin and wasn’t chosen to be the successor to the Wei’s Art of War, otherwise, he will never be able to have a good night sleep again.

The cruel torture of being dragged from under the blankets made him remember Dong Fan 13th Captain, Jun Ting.

“Your Majesty, are you ready?” Lie Zhong Liu looked over at Rong Tian.

Rong Tian stretched out his arms and turned in a circle to show Lie Zhong Liu the outfit he was wearing, “What do you think, Prime Minister?”

Lie Zhong Liu carefully scanned it, nodded his head and said, “Ah, a simple outfit, it’s great that we have regular traders around here that do business with Zhao Bei. An outfit like that should be acceptable.”

Rong Tian laughed, “If Prime Minister sees no flaws in it, then it should be no problem.” Feng Ming scratched his head.

Yesterday, both of them were staring down at each other, so how come their relationship suddenly became relatively close?

Lie Zhong Liu’s gaze switched over to Zi Yan, “The outfit Zi Yan is wearing right now is completely different from the armor outfit.”

“Prime Minister, Zi Yan looks great like this, right? His broad shoulders, strong chest, do you want to touch a bit?” Lie Er draped his arms over Zi Yan’s shoulders, using a meat inspector voice, he laughed out.

Zi Yan was not pleased as he tossed Lie Er’s arm aside and scolded him, “Quit it Lie Er, go die!”

“Ah, it’s not bad.” Lie Zhong Liu glanced at Lie Er and continued, “But the beauty that I, the Prime Minister, is fond of, is still you, Lie Er.”

His teasing statement clearly brought uproar among everyone.

Chiu Yue and Chiu Xing stood up together at once, “We’re going to complain! We’re going to tell Lady Lie, we’ll definitely tell her about this!”

Seeing them chatter in enthusiasm, Feng Ming laughed nonstop, he silently thought that they must be worried he might be sad about separating from Rong Tian; therefore, they deliberately joked around to lighten up his mood.

It was emotionally touching for him.

He had come to this ancient world for some time and now was more familiar with it each

passing day. In the past, he wouldn’t pay much attention to everyone’s behavior, but now he gradually came to understand the hidden meaning behind each one. The group of people in front of him grew close to him as if they were his loved ones.

Even if it’s only for these people in front of him, he still wishes to bring peace and harmony to them.

The laughter ceased, Zi Yan looked up at the sky, then faced Rong Tian and said, “Your Majesty, we shouldn’t...” The words were still not finished when he paused and glanced over at Feng Ming.

Feng Ming clenched his teeth, revealing a bright smile, “It’s no longer early, it’s time for departure, afterwards, there is still a long road ahead, do you still plan on waiting until nighttime to leave?”

The whole room went silent...

After a while, Lie Zhong Liu asked, “Does Your Majesty still want to speak with Feng Ming in private?”

Everyone were intending to head outside the room in order to let Feng Ming have some time alone with Rong Tian.

“No.” Feng Ming shook his head, seeing everyone’s shocked face looking at him, he stomped his foot, “It’s not anything like life and death, so what’s the point in prolonging this? As a man, if you say you leave then leave. What else is there to continue talking privately about?”

Before he finished, Rong Tian reached out and pulled the young man next to him, gave him an intense kiss on the lips, then chuckled, “Not bad, before leaving, you already displayed a demeanor fit for Young Master Xiao. However, as a man, after I leave, you are not allowed to cry. Take care of yourself, here I go.”

Lifting his head, he gave his farewell, his bright eyes sparkled as he bellowed out, “Here I go!” “Your Majesty, take care!”

Rong Hu said, “Your Majesty, let us send you outside...”

“No need for the customary etiquette. Just stay here and look after Duke Ming, take care of yourself. Prime Minister, please take care.” Facing Lie Zhong Liu, Rong Tian clasped his hands together and smiled. Rong Tian motioned his hand and ordered, “Zi Yan, let’s head out!”

Xi Lei King proudly laughed and quickly strode out the door.

Zi Yan, full of energy, followed right behind. The two of them walked off...
